A/N: I don't own Twilight!

Chapter 14

Edward

Bella slept for most of the few days after her recovery, she stayed in her bed, and I stayed next to her as much as I could. I was doing very well in the Police Academy, which actually made Charlie really proud of me. Bella gave me huge smiles when I told her my progression with the Academy. I was really sore when I saw her though, we sometimes did physical training for the class time instead of sitting in class. After the first week, four people had dropped out already, the second week three more dropped out. We were now in the third week and there were only seven of us left, I couldn't believe how easily people gave up.

"I'm proud of you Edward," Bella said with a weak smile, she was getting her strength back very slowly, I would be so glad when she got it back fully and we could go out on a real date. She moved over a little and let me climb into her bed, she put her head on my chest and fell fast asleep. I kissed her forehead and rubbed her back, soft little snores came from her, and I loved hearing her snore. I did have to leave her though, which I hated because I valued my sweet time with her.

"Edward, come here for a minute," Charlie said as I was walking out, I walked into the kitchen and saw him pouring a cup of coffee. "I wanted to thank you for these past few days, you've been here and stayed with Bella when her mom and I aren't able."

"Oh, it's my pleasure sir, I really do care about her. There's not much of anything I wouldn't do for that girl," I admitted with a shy smile. I wasn't even looking at him when I said that because my mind was thinking of Bella's smile.

"I know that," Charlie said taking a sip of his coffee, "Edward, I want to apologize for how I treated you that day when you first arrived on our porch. You've made Bella happier than I've seen her in a very long time. I cannot thank you enough for doing that for her."

"Sir, it's no problem. I wasn't' hanging around to be a pest, I was hanging around her because I wanted to be with her. My reputation is awful, but I wanted to make myself better so that I could be worthy of Bella."

"You are, I am proud of you for how far you've come these past few months. I've heard that you're doing well in the Academy. Officer McNeil says you're one of the top in your class, he's really impressed by you," Charlie said taking me by surprise. I knew that I was doing well in the class, but I never thought that I was one of the top in my class.

"Edward?" I looked up and saw Bella weakly walking out of her room.

"Bella! What are you doing? You should be in bed," I said rushing to her side and supporting her, we turned around and went back into her room. "What did you get up for? Don't push yourself Bells."

"I'm tired of being in bed. I thought this was supposed to make me feel better, not make me feel worse. Edward, I want fresh air, I want sunlight," Bella said trying her best to get up again, I put my hands on her shoulders and pushed her back down. Sadie knew what was going on, she quickly jumped on Bella's legs so she couldn't get up. "Seriously?"

"Bells, just a little bit longer, if you go outside too soon then who knows how sick you could get. Do you want to be in the hospital again?" I asked crossing my arms in front of my chest, "Please, think of getting well first. Okay?"

"Okay," she said and closed her eyes. I stood there for a little bit, making sure she was asleep, before walking out yet again. I told goodbye to Charlie then left, only to find Jacob Black, my former boss walking up the sidewalk.

"Jake? What are you doing here?" I asked, he looked shocked to see me walking down. "Do you know Bella?"

"Is that who got her heart?"

"Whose heart?" My own heart stopped for a minute, things would not go well if that girl that had taken my place died, if she had been the heart donor for Bella.

"My sister's. I received word that she was killed in an accident, her heart was donated to someone here in Forks. I did some research and it came back to this address," Jacob said. I felt relieved that it hadn't been her heart, but I felt bad for feeling relieved.

"I'm sorry Jacob," I said then saw he was waiting for me to confirm if Bella did get the heart. "It's true, but can you come back another time? She's still recovering and needs rest."

"Oh yeah, but can you help me meet her?" I reluctantly nodded, I was scared of what introducing Bella to Jake would result in. "What have you been up to? I'm sorry about firing you like that, it wasn't right."

"It's cool, I'm actually in the police Academy, I'm in the third week but apparently I'm in the top of my class," I informed him, we began walking down the sidewalk and away from the house.

Bella

I'm so sick and tired of being forced to stay in bed, it was fine when Edward sat with me but he couldn't all of the time. Instead, I was surprised to see Rosalie and Alice walk into my room, it was a nice surprise to have other visitors.

"Hey, Bella! How are you feeling?" Rose asked sitting in the chair that Edward normally sat in. "Alice wanted to come and check on you."

"Aww!" I signed thank you to her then looked at Rose, "I'm tired, and I'm sick of being in bed. But hopefully I'll be better soon and will be able to go outside."

"Yeah, Edward is hardly home, he likes to spend most of his time here."

"Yeah, he's usually sitting next to me, or letting me sleep on him," she raised her eyebrows, I quickly explained, "What I mean is, he lays next to me and lets me put my head on his chest!"

"Bella, calm down!" Rosalie laughed, "I knew what you meant. I'm just glad my brother has finally found someone that he cares about."

"I know what you mean," I said and looked to see Alice loving Sadie, "Rose, can I tell you something if you promise not to tell Edward?"

"Depends on what it is."

I took a deep breath and looked her in the eyes, "I love him, I love him so much Rose but I was the one who said we go back to being friends. That's one reason I want to be able to get out of bed, I want to be able to go on a date with him."

"Bella… You know he loves you too right?" I nodded, "Of course you do! It's pretty much written all over his face when he sees you. Why do you think he spends so much time around you?"

"I know, trust me, I know Rose." I felt my eyelids getting heavy, "Hey, I'm so sorry to do this but do you mind if I sleep? I'm so tired."

"No, of course! You need your rest," she stomped her foot to get Alice's attention, Alice gave me a hug and smiled.

"Thank you again for coming," I did my best to sign every word so Alice knew what I said. From her smile, I know she did. They left and left me alone with Sadie, who just looked at me and wagged her tail. I smiled at her then drifted off to sleep.
