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.
