Strange Things Happen To The Best of People

Chapter 13

Your New Mommy

beep... beep... beep...
I woke up laying down in an unfamiliar starchy set of bedsheets, confused as to why I was there.
I looked down at myself. My left arms was bruised badly and I could tell my cheek must have hit something because it made my mouth feel sharp and metallic.
What happened to me?
I heard the beeping speed up and a woman power-walked in the room.
"Good'day!" she said with an Irish accent. She moved over to a bag of fluids and started tapping it.
"Since you are awake we are going to take you off fluids and you get your clothes back."
She then too the long needle so gracefully out of my arm that I didn't even feel it.
I then went to change into my street clothes and went back in the room.
"I am your nurse, Mairenn." she said chipper.

She paused.
"This is where you tell me your name. We don't know who you are." you could basically see the parenthesis around her words as the exited her mouth. She pulled out a clipboard and a pen.
"E-Edward."
She frowned. "We'll come back to that one. "
"DOB?"
I told her my date of birth. She then went on to help me with the whole form.
"Well, that's it! You're free to go." she said. "oh, and be careful not to lose that girl of yours" a devious smile crept on her face reminding me of the Grinch cartoon.
But what she said left me in a cold sweat. I rushed out of the room only to see II her II again.
THIRD POV!
Edward looked at Bella, shock appearing on his face. He paled. He cared for Bella so very much and the small time that they were friends was great until he went and told her his feelings. Their relationship was on the rocks and then he went to the forks hospital, just like Marie had said, just to figure out that her Ella was his Bella and that the Bella he had known all along wasn't really there, mind, body and spirit, just mind and spirit. And she wasn't his Bella, and even if she was in a coma it didn't mean that she couldn't belong to someone else! He then blacked out for a while and was in this situation now.
Bella was pleading to him in her mind to listen to her and explain. She hadn't been exactly honest with him but he wouldn't let her. But he had walked through her! She found him in the same room of her body a little freaked out at first that she somehow was in a coma! Then she appears and he just... Lost it!

He ran through her, expecting to push by her and ended up backing away from her and hitting his entire left side on sharp glass from a two year old who knocked over a vase earlier but wasn't fully removed from the area. He passed out, and now they here she was in a depressing situation. She had feelings for him. She just didn't think he had any for her until he admitted it, her shock leaving her frozen.

He liked her and she went and ruined it! She was not pleased at being a person. Not at all. But she wanted to be one anyways, if it meant falling in love, actually doing things, trying things and experiencing life. But her situation wasn't helping her health right now.
Doctors and nurses were passing by, she could hear her heart rate slowing and speeding at random rates.
After a moment, Edward rushed out of the room. He didn't have to bother with an elevator or stairs seeing as they were on the main level.
"Edward!" Bella called begging.
He rushed to his car and patted his pockets for keys.
Bella flitted next to his car. "Edward!" she sobbed dry. "I am sorry!"
He finally pulled them out fumbling with those he collected over the years and unlocked his door and drove out of the parking lot and ended up getting to the end of the block before Bella appeared again.
"Edward, please listen!"
Edward would have said something to her, anything to her, but his body was on auto pilot and all he wanted to do was think.
He pulled over and got out of the car and walked into a gas station.
"Edward! Please!" she begged again.
He left the gas station and headed into the woods.
"Edward..." a voice whisper-sobbed.
He kept walking for a while, the voice kept following him whispering his name every so often, then stopped.
He turned around. She was still there but she was fading a bit.
"what's wrong?" he whispered hoarsely, it being the first time he talked for a while.
She was fading in and out, still crying.
"I-I can't t-take a lot o-of stress w-hen I a-am away from m-my body a-h lot of t-ime"
"Bella, I need to think things through right now. Just because I am an idiot doesn't mean that you shouldn't take care of yourself." I said a tad robotic, still hoarse. "Go back to your body."
With that, Bella went back to her body. Even if she doesn't need to be with her body all the time she does if she is under a lot of emotional strain. If she doesn't take care of herself that way she could lose the connection to her body forever.
Edward was still wandering the forest. He thought a lot about nothing, a lot about everything and a lot about Bella.
Is this what she meant when she said - or didn't say- that they couldn't be together?
But she didn't reciprocate with telling him her feelings, which meant she probably didn't feel the same way as he did for her... But she never said she didn't. His mind went in endless circles.
He walked and walked. He walked until his shoe hit something that felt like a plank of wood and he looked up to see a porch leading to a house. Who would put a house in the middle of a forest with no path or anything leading to it?
It was old and at one point in time it would have been a crazy sea green with strange lavender trim. It was two story high and felt very Victorian. Behind the house on one of the trees was a tree swing slowly moving in the wind.
Edward went up to the orange door and rapped on it three times. No answer. He then examined the things left out. There were three weathered chairs saying 'welcome to our home' and on the side of the house someone painted largely in a metallic silver: The Swan Residence.
Edward's brain went back in time a bit and he remembered the greeting she made to him.

"Isabella Swan, by the way.." she looked like she wanted to stick her hand out to shake and be polite but she held back.

Was this Bella's house? He sat down on the black wooden steps. Marie had said that her son married an eccentric woman and they had a house in the middle of nowhere on 400 acres of land... Was Marie Bella's grandmother? She had to be. This place had to be Bella's home.
He looked at the silver lettering. Underneath was a small envelope tacked to the wall. Inside was a letter.
"Dear explorer, finder, wanderer or lost person; whomever you may be:" it stated at the top. "This house you have found has brought you here for a reason. You have an issue or a problem, most likely. The problem may not be good but it may not be bad either. All is known is that you have a problem and you need to have it fixed.
This house was found by my husband and I when we realized that I was pregnant with my baby girl and we needed a home. My husband had inherited this 400 some odd acres of land and we just walked through it until we stumbled on this house. I do not know who built it nor does anyone I may have known.
The house will be a place for you to find an answer.
And don't worry about electricity, we had already figured that out by creating a rainwater system similar to wind energy.
The house holds all of my treasures.
Note, I keep saying 'had' rather than 'have'. Last week I had a premonition in a dream that my husband and I would die, leaving all my possessions to my baby girl... Who was sent into a coma."
"Edward" it continued startling him. "yes, Edward, I know that you fell in love with her. You need a place to think. Soon enough from when you read this letter, she will awaken from her long slumber and I want you to take care of her, you get it? My dreams say you will make her happy and it will make you happy as well.
Stay here at the Swan Home until you are finished thinking. Nobody blames you for taking your time with your thought, not even my Bella.
You may go through things like they are your own but please try not to destroy anything.
From Your New Mommy,
Renee M. Swan"
He looked in the envelope again and smiled, there was an orange house key with Bella written on it.
