It was about two weeks after the accident and Bella still wasn't awake. Jacob visited her everyday and on each day he left behind a note or token just as Bella had that would let her know how much he loved her. He left these behind in case she woke up in the few minutes he left her side.

Covering the room were pieces of their time they had together. Jacob brought in the box of candy hearts he had given Bella, with a note saying, "You promised me a life of servitude," pictures of them together, and a picture of the carving Bella did in the tree for him. He also coated the ceiling with reasons why he loved Bella, as she had for him. Some were the same, as the ones she left for him, letting her know he loved those moments as well. He put them on the ceiling so when Bella woke up it would be the first thing she saw.

#1: Your smile.

#2: The way your hair smells.

#3: How you fought for me everyday.

#4: Sitting in my rabbit drinking warm soda.

#5: The beat of your heart

#6: How you let me tell you to break up with Edward at Prom just to help me get my car part.

#7: The way you fit into my arms.

….

#54: I thought about you everyday these past months we were apart.

#65: How incomplete I've felt these past few weeks.

#72: The near kiss in the kitchen.

And lastly:

#82: How you continued to fight for me even after all those things I said to you.

#83: I love you.

Jacob was fast asleep one day in the hospital, holding Bella's hand when he felt it move. His head jerked up and he instantly was awake. "Bella? Are you there? Can you hear me?" He squeezed her hand and he felt a faint squeeze back. He saw her eyes moving under their lids. Jacob pushed the call sign to signal to Carlisle that Bella was waking.

Carlisle came rushing into the room and began checking the machines and monitors. 'Jacob it appears Bella may be coming back to us. I need to go call Charlie and my family so they can come down. Please stay with her and push the call sign if anything changes." "Carlisle. Let Edward know to come down too." Carlisle smiled and ran off to his office. Ever since Bella had been in the coma, Edward disappeared. He said he didn't want to interfere any longer with Jacob and Bella and Jacob was all too pleased at first. He knew now that Bella would want to see him and in his heart he knew that was ok. Bella and Edward should be friends, just as he and Bell were, He couldn't deny the guy that much. He would want the same in return, any moments with her were better than none.

Bella continued to stir, he could see her breathing on her own and starting to move around. "Bella, honey, can you hear me?" Her voice was just a raspy whisper but it was there, "Jacob? Is that you?" "Yes Bella I'm here, please come back to me." He could see Bella struggling to open her eyes. He leaned in and kissed her on her lips, he had done this so many times before while she was out but this time she responded, it was weak but she was finally there. "Jacob, how bad is it?" "Honey you've been out for two weeks. It's bad but you're healing quickly. Please open your eyes, I can't bear another minute without them."

He saw her eyelids pull open and staring back at him were those chocolate brown eyes he loved so much. "Jacob." He kissed her again and then moved back slightly to give her room to breathe. She gasped when she saw her room covered in everything Jacob brought. He could see she was reading the notes he has hooked to the ceiling. A huge smile crossed her face and she reached for him, wincing in pain. "Bells don't move, you're pretty beat up. Only you would try to take on a vampire all by yourself." She laughed weakly, "I was trying to hold her off until you could get there, I almost had her. Where is everyone else?" 'Carlisle is calling them. They should be here soon. You're mom is flying in again." Bella sighed and squeezed Jacob's hand. "You don't know how long I've been waiting to feel that Bella. It has been a long two weeks."

Jacob sat in the chair next to her and waited for her family and friends to arrive. Charlie was the first one there and swept Bella up into a hug. "Bella, don't you ever do that again you hear? Just call him next time! I could have lost you." Bella had tears streaming down her face, "I won't Dad I promise. I didn't mean to worry you." The Cullens arrived and Jacob moved back to allow them all to give Bella a hug. "We were all worried about you Bella but of course Alice said she was sure you would wake up," Esme said. "I tried to convince Jacob to leave your side so I could see exactly when you were going to but it isn't easy moving him," Alice smiled. Edward was the last to enter the room; he seemed hesitant.

"Edward. You're here." Bella gave him a hug and kiss on the cheek. "I'm sorry for running out on you and stealing your car. Is it ok?" "I just got a new one, I could care less about my care Bella. Next time let me drive you over there. Not that there will be a next time." Edward smiled and began to leave the room. "I can't stay Bella but I will see you later. Give me a call once you're home."

Finding it hard to leave her, Jacob hesitantly pulled himself out of his chair. Bella's eyes were immediately on him, "Jacob where are you going?" "There's something I have to do Bella, I'll be right back." "Jacob, don't…" "Don't worry Bella we're kind of friends now, as much as we can be." I got up, gave Bella a kiss, and started after Edward. I gave her my "old" Jacob smile and headed out the door. I hated leaving her side but I needed to talk to the bloodsucker myself. "Edward, wait up. I need to talk to you."

"I'm sorry Jacob, I didn't mean anything by saying she should call me, just that I wanted to know she was ok. I won't intrude on you two any longer." "NO, that's why I need to talk to you. I've done a lot of thinking these past two weeks and I wanted to let you know I am perfectly ok with you two being friends and hanging out. I've waited too long for Bella to get her and then have her not be completely happy. Please keep in touch, just no more midnight visits." Edward smiled and reached out to shake my hand, I grabbed it and shuddered at the coldness of it but shook it back.

Bella left the hospital a few days later and was moving around in her wheelchair quite well. We spent every waking minute together and I couldn't have been more ecstatic that we were finally together. Once Bella was all healed up, we planned a dinner together. I headed over to her house and rang the doorbell. Bella opened the door and looked so amazing I couldn't breathe. She leapt into my arms and kissed me with such passion it almost knocked me off my feet. I pulled her into me and deepened the kiss. My heart jumped for joy knowing I finally had her; she was mine.
