Chapter 13

BPOV

I was dancing with Edward, looking over his shoulder at my mother, smiling with tears in her eyes. My eyes switched to his and we kissed, passionately, making me lose my breath from the effect. His hold on me was one I had never felt before, causing weakness in my knees.

As our lips parted I opened my eyes to see his shimmering emerald eyes looking back at me. His soft hand brushed my hair out of my face; for every second it touched my skin, the feeling it sent through my core was phenomenal. "You're so beautiful Bella." My face started to warm up from the blood flowing to my face.

Is it possible to feel this way after meeting someone so soon? Is there really such a thing as love at first sight?

"Bella? Can you hear me?" I groaned as I was being awakened from my fantasy.

I opened my eyes, but I didn't recognize the area and almost started to panic until I found his startling green eyes looking back at me, making me relax. "Edward, where am I? What happened?"

For some reason my mind wasn't functioning too well. The last thing I could remember was dancing with Edward, hearing him say I was beautiful and touching my face with his hand. I blushed as the pictures flooded my mind. How could someone as gorgeous as him even think of plain old me as beautiful? That's when I knew I had been dreaming, but when he touched my face though, it felt so real, I swear I could still feel the trace his skin left on mine. Was that a dream too?

He had explained to me where I was and what had happened. I kept looking at him to try to keep myself from freaking out once he mentioned my mother, but my body reacted differently. My hands started to shake slightly as I fought the urge to push myself off the bed and jump into his arms. I must be going crazy. How could I even be thinking of doing that? He wouldn't hold me like I wanted to, it was only a dream.

His voice brought me back, "Can you sit up Bella?" The way he said my name almost made me melt on the bed. Maybe I'm still dreaming. I needed to get up though, I wanted to see my mother again.

"I'll try. I should be able to." As soon as I pushed myself up I just about went back down from the feeling I got. "I'm feeling dizzy." I tried to rub my temples lightly with my fingertips hoping it would help, but it didn't.

He started talking again and I tried to listen, but I didn't exactly hear what he said because I started feeling light headed again. I felt something fall lightly across my body sending a mixture of scents to my nose that I recognized right away. I curled up with the jacket in my hands inhaling the wonderful mixture of aromas...

"I love you Bella." He bent over to kiss me again. I tried to continue dancing without losing my step, but it was such an exhilarating feeling that I don't even know how to explain it. It was like we were binding together, as one.

"Oh Edward, I love you so much, you don't even know." I pressed myself to him and hugged him so tightly, I think I made him gasp. I grinned and bit my lower lip as other thoughts started to fill my mind.

"Let's go home sweetheart. I have something that's just waiting to be opened." He grinned at me after having said those words and started to lead me straight to the door.

He helped me get into the car with the gown I had on, which was designed by Alice, of course. As we backed up I could read the neon sign, which said, "Alice Hale Designs." A smile spread across my face and I felt warm fingers intertwining with mine.

Neither of us spoke during the ride, but we would look at each other every few minutes until we got home. The gentleman that he was, he came back to my side to help me once we had arrived home. He looked down at me and said, "may I be of service Miss Swan?"

I bit my lower lip and grinned afterward seeing him smile also, we both started to laugh out loud. Once I was out of the car, he took me in his arms and hugged me so hard, I gasped. "I guess I deserved that one from earlier, huh?" He let me go, shrugged his shoulders and grabbed my hand, tugging at me to follow him to the house. I barely had the chance to close the car door with him pulling my hand anxiously.

I had just closed the door and turned around to see him sprint off to the upper part of the house. "Edward? What are you doing?" I yelled as I set my purse down on the table by the door.

I took my shoes off and saw Edward appear in front of me with a huge box that had a red ribbon wrapped around it, which twisted into a bow at the top. "Here Bella, open it. I know you'll love it." I sighed, knowing that I didn't have a choice with him. It was Valentine's Day after all.

"Alright, hand it over." His face beamed at me as I started to open it. I Started by untying the bow and opening the box; I took off the layers of tissue to discover a piece of clothing that was blue and looked like silk with lace. Lingerie? I took it out of the box revealing what it was, a silk nightgown. The straps were made of soft lace that trailed down the front of the gown, which looked like it revealed quite a bit. "Edward," I gasped. "It's beautiful."

Without waiting for him to answer, I sprinted off to the bedroom. On my way up the stairs I saw a picture of my mother...

Memories were starting to return to me from what happened previously, Edward and I walking into my mother's room, seeing Carlisle standing in front of my mother's bed; her eyes were closed and she wasn't moving, at all. Crap, I must have passed out again.

My eyes shot open and I looked around; I was still in the room next door to my mother's. I was hearing familiar voices from the hallway; Carlisle and Edward? Somehow, I remembered not getting a chance to hear Carlisle's reply to my question that I had asked him before losing consciousness. I wanted to know what had happened to my mother.

As I got up, slowly this time, I could feel goosebumps forming themselves on my skin and I shivered once the blanket fell off of me. Realizing I was still holding Edward's lab coat, which was warm from the body heat, I put it on, hoping he wouldn't mind. I started blushing, as I remembered the nightgown from the dream. I rubbed at my eyes slowly as I got off the bed and walked over to the door, trying to keep my balance as I still felt faint.

Reaching the door, I heard what Edward said to his father this time. The words kept repeating themselves in my head. "Do you think it's possible for her to have slipped into a coma?" Is he talking about Mom? No, this can't be. I couldn't hear anything else with the constant repetition of the question, but I did feel weak in the knees, again. I leaned on the door and clutched the door handle to keep me on my feet; the coolness of the metal against my skin must have helped as I was still standing.

I felt a soft hand gently twisting my fingers off the handle; it was so warm against my skin I could feel the goosebumps returning from the effect of his touch. I didn't have to look up to know it was Edward from the feeling of his skin on mine.

The repetitive phrase started to cease once I felt his arm around me, which helped keep my balance as we walked toward the bed again. I barely heard him speak, but I did feel his body close to mine. All I heard was, "Bella...breathe...now...few deep breaths...lie down...bed again...relax."

I wanted to caress him back as he was caressing me, but my body wasn't reacting as I wanted it too. It was like I had lost all my energy. The next thing I knew, I was stretched out on the bed again and all I could see was an image of my mother on her bed, not moving.

The image drifted away as I heard him speak again. "Bella, how much did you hear from the conversation my father and I had?" A slight crease formed itself between his eyebrows as he asked me the question.

My mind tried to find the exact words that I'd heard, but the only thing that came out was, "my mom's...in a...coma..." I didn't remember moving, but I got a faint whiff of that wonderful aroma from earlier, a felt a slight jolt to my body, like something was being pulled from underneath me, followed by a warm layer landing on me.

"Bella, look at me please." Hearing his voice, I turned my eyes to find his, making me more emotional and flooding my eyes with tears. My mind had started to clear up, so I heard what he'd explained to me next. "It was only a question I asked my father, we aren't sure if that's what happened yet. I need to go see if the neurologist is still in her office. Can you promise me that you'll stay here while I go?" I nodded my head instead of speaking as I knew I wouldn't be able to. I also knew I wouldn't be able to make it to my mother's room without falling down right now.

I closed my eyelids releasing the few tears I had left. An electrifying feeling shot through me as he wiped my tears away. He told me he'd be back soon, and again, I nodded instead of answering vocally, still unable to trust my voice.

When I saw Edward leaving my side, I wanted to reach out to him, but my body wouldn't move. My mind wandered off again because the images that were floating in my head were definitely not happening...

The nightgown fit perfectly. The straps were made of a soft lace that came down the front, intertwining in the lower center of my chest, revealing most of it. There was also lace that followed the seams on the back of the gown, which left my back completely bare. The nightgown was snug around the waist, but the rest flowed down to my ankles. I came out of the bathroom revealing the outcome to Edward; in front of me stood a ravishing man, bare-chested with his mouth gaping open. "Bella," he uttered. "You look stunning."

I had to admit, it was beautiful. Alice, of course. "So do you, Edward." I tried to reach him gracefully, but that didn't work. I tripped as he caught me into his arms and he laughed, but not for long. We started to kiss and I sighed as I felt the skin from his hands on my back. My hands went up to his face, cupping it gently as we kissed. His hands gently flowed down my back, his fingertips grazing lightly along my skin, finally resting on my butt. He cupped my cheeks in his hands, gently squeezing me closer to him.

I gasped at how hard his penis felt against me once he brought us closer together. His hands traveled up my sides reaching my breasts. His thumbs gently skimmed across my hard nipples over the silk, making me moan. My hands moved to his hair, intertwining my fingers in it as I tugged while he caressed my breasts.

He swept me off my feet in a second and carried me over to the bed. He stayed on his knees, bringing my arms up over my head and swept his hands down my arms, up my neck and cupped my face as he leaned in to kiss me. I brought my hands up to wrap them around his neck, but they never reached it as he softly grabbed them and placed them back where he had the first time. "No fair," I said, practically panting.

"Life isn't fair my dear." He grinned and continued trailing his hands down my arms, which left goosebumps on my skin from the sensation of his skin on mine. His hands opened fully as they came down toward each of my sides, slipping his thumbs over the silk that covered my nipples, circling around them with his thumbs a few times, making me moan again.

His hands left my breasts, teased slowly down to my sides, my hips, and kept going down my legs after grazing one of his thumbs between my legs. I couldn't believe how sensational it felt with the silk between his hands and my skin.

Once his hands reached my legs he tightened his grip, relaxing my muscles from the long night. His hands came back up, but this time from underneath the silk. My body twitched as his soft skin touched mine once again; up my legs, my hips, my sides and up my arms again. The gown was now off, revealing everything.

His eyes gleamed as they heavily traveled up and down my body. "You're making me crazy with your beauty baby." His hands cupped my face and he kissed me softly. I could feel my skin tingle as his fingertips lightly came down to my breasts, cupping them and massaging them, making me moan as I thrust my chest up into his hands. He squeezed my nipples lightly and I stopped kissing him to gasp. His lips left a trail on my skin as he kissed my cheeks, my neck, down to my chest and over to my left nipple.

He twisted his tongue around it a few times and then started to suck on it, keeping my other breast pleasured with his hand until he switched sides. I succumbed to the exhilarating feeling he was giving me and brought my hands to his head, raking my hands through his hair, grabbing a fistful in each hand and slightly tugging as I screamed his name, leaving me breathless. My whole body was shaking from the pleasure...

"Bella? Are you okay? Are you in pain?" I realized I was breathing loudly and was hearing Alice's voice, not Edward's. Of course, I had been dreaming. She was shaking me and I blushed, hoping I wasn't talking in my sleep again.

"If you'll stop shaking me, I'll be fine," I groaned and she stopped, followed by a sigh.

"I heard you moan several times, so I thought you were in pain. You're not, are you?" She looked at me with worry in her eyes. I felt my face burn again, which she noticed. "Are you sure you're alright?" She put her hand on my forehead as if she was taking my temperature.

"Alice, Alice, I'm fine, alright? Now stop shaking and poking me and stuff." She shrugged her shoulders at me as an apology. "Is my mom okay?" I asked in a light voice.

"We're still waiting for the neurologist to come out of the room. I don't know what's taking so long. It makes you wonder why she doesn't want anybody else in the room with her." Her little pixie face showed some frustration. "Maybe I'm just the impatient one. Who knows."

"Well, I've waited long enough and she's my mother. I'm going in, I don't give a crap what she says. Can you help me get there though? I'm feeling pretty lightheaded right now." She came by my side as she knew I would go, even if she told me not to.

I pulled the blanket back revealing Edward's lab coat and she looked at me with shock in her eyes. "Bella, what are you doing with that lab coat on?" She started helping me out of bed as she spoke.

"I was cold and Edward was nice enough to put it on me earlier as a blanket, I think. I was kind of out of it then. I remember being cold and then putting it on. Is that enough detail for you, inspector?" She smirked, but I could see a grin forming itself across her face.

"Fine," was all she said as we continued on our journey to my mother's room. I eyed the bathroom and tried to remember the last time I went. I asked Alice to stop off there first and heard Edward speak to Alice while I was in the washroom.

"Where is she?" His voice sounded worried. Have they found out what's wrong with my mom? I quickly finished washing my hands and rushed out the door, almost tripping on my own feet. My face must have turned beet red as I looked at Edward, the images from my dream popping in my head right away. This is not the time! I didn't even know why I did dream that, which I found odd considering what was going on. "Bella," he said with a sigh of relief.

"Have you heard anything? Is that why you were looking for me?" He raked his hand through his hair, which made my fingers tingle at the feeling I had when I did it in my dream.

"Bella, maybe you should sit down for this." His hand wrapped itself around my arm as he directed me toward the bed again and pointing for me to sit. "Yes, we have. The neurologist isn't a hundred percent sure, but she thinks it's possible that she has slipped into a coma." He must have noticed me holding my breath, because he quickly continued. "Breathe Bella. Let me finish. She said she will come back first thing tomorrow morning to check on her and start the tests right away. She was also supposed to send a note asking for the samples to be analyzed right away. I hope she did that already. Her heart rate is fine and everything else that we can check for now, she could wake up tomorrow. For all we know, she is maybe just too exhausted to wake up for now with those seizures she's had."

Seizures?

Please leave me some lovin'
