Previously:I sat there stunned. Edward was in the hospital. Edward, was in the hospital.
I slowly stood up from the couch, and a single tear fell from my eye. Everything was moving in slow motion.
"Edward is in the hospital." I whispered.
I snapped back to reality. I ran to the door, grabbing my purse and my keys.
I jumped into my car and sped off toward Seattle.
Edward's POV (Short insight before the accident)
I turned off the radio, and rolled down the windows, letting the wind blow through my hair. A grin appeared on my face as I thought about my beautiful wife, Bella. How did I get so lucky? She is everything I have ever dreamed of, and so much more. She is my everything.
Right now, I was on my way to Seattle to pick out the perfect engagement ring she didn't get. I know she'll get upset. I have figured out that she doesn't like money being spent on her, but I want her to have everything she ever wanted.
I closed my eyes for just a moment, but that's all it took. I heard a horn honking, and I snapped my eyes open.
I had drifted over onto the wrong side of the road, and an eighteen wheeler was facing me head on. I tried to swerve back over on my side of the road, but I was quick enough.
I hit the truck head on. The last thing I thought before everything went black was I love you Bella.
Bella's POV
I swerved into the hospital parking lot, and pulled into a spot right in the front. I jumped out of my car and slammed the door shut; not bothering to lock it.
I ran inside the waiting room and up to the service desk.
"Can I help you?" A bitter, red headed woman asked me.
"Yes, I need Edward Cullen's room number." I said quickly.
"One moment please." She said impolitely.
I through my hands up in frustration.
"I might not have one moment!" I screamed.
She stopped what she was doing, and looked up at me through her glasses.
"Bella?" I heard a voice say that sounded a lot like Edward.
I spun around.
"Dr. Cullen?" I asked.
"Carlisle." He said and I nodded. "What are you doing here?"
"I…." I said taking a shaky breath, and wiped the tears out of my eyes. "I'm here to see Edward."
"You know each other?" He asked, with tears in his eyes.
I nodded. "Long story."
He nodded, understanding.
"How is he?" I asked running up to him, leaving the rude receptionist behind.
"Not good." Carlisle whispered. "He's in surgery right now. He has been in there for about four hours now."
"Is he going to be ok?" I whispered, afraid of the answer.
Carlisle looked at me, and I could see the tears welling up in his eyes.
"No one knows yet." He said, blinking back the tears.
I nodded letting the tears run down my cheeks.
"Come here." He whispered as he embraced me in a hug, which only made the tears flow harder.
After a few minutes, I pulled back.
"Thank you, for everything." I told him.
"Would you like to sit with us?" He asked, pointing down the hall.
I nodded. "Thank you."
We started walking down the hall side by side.
"Carlisle?"
"Yes?"
"You asked how me and Edward know each other?" I asked.
He nodded. "But you don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
"No, I want to." I replied. "But, you would have figured it out eventually."
His brows furrowed in confusion, just like Edward's. I let a tear slip from my eye before I continued.
"Edward and I sorta got married." I whispered.
This only made his brows furrow even more. I nodded and continued.
"It was when he went to Las Vegas. One night, one very drunken night, we got married. I told him I wanted a divorce, but he wouldn't sign the papers. He said what we had was love," I chuckled slightly, and let a few more tears fall. "I told him he was wrong, but he still wouldn't sign. Now, I glad he didn't sign." I whispered.
Carlisle shook his head and smiled.
"What?" I asked.
"He's so stubborn. When he believes in something he never gives up." Carlisle told me. "And I'm glad he found you. You are exactly what he needs; someone to put up with him, but prove him wrong. You were a good kid, Bella."
"Just not good with coordination." I said which caused a small chuckle out of each of us.
"Yeah, I had a lot of visits from you over your childhood." He said.
Everything grew eerie quiet as we remembered the reason we were here. For a moment, only a moment, everything seemed normal. But nothing would ever be normal again. Not unless Edward pulled through."
"How much longer should he be in the O.R.?" I asked.
"Two more hours is what the doctor said when we was last updated us." He told me.
I nodded, and we continued walking.
"Do you think we could keep me and Edward being married a secret until, you know, everything goes back to normal?" I asked Carlisle.
He nodded in confirmation. "I think that would be for the best."
I thought for a moment, if everything goes back to normal. I shook the bad thoughts away from my mind. Everything would go back to normal, it had to.
Hey you guys! Thanks for the reviews I got on the last chapter! I really appreciate them!
So, how did you like Edward's POV before the accident? Or the Bella and Carlisle moment?
Sorry that it is pretty short, I just wanted to get this chapter out!
I will try to update as soon as I can! But, when school starts that is going to be SO much harder! Because of all the work, and I have cheerleading. But, for now, I will update as quick as possible!
