Chapter 21.

B POV

I sat at the side of the hospital bed holding Edward's hand.

It had been two days since he had been shot and he had been 'asleep' for two days but his recovery was getting better. The doctors said his mind went into shock which is why he hadn't woken up yet.

I had no clue what Edward was going to do until Jasper told me the story. After I managed to calm down from the shock, Jasper told me how Edward had decided to kill Aro because of the note and to stop more threats happening.

It turned out that when Edward pulled the trigger on Aro, Aro must have slipped his gun to Edward's stomach and shot him too. He was hoping to kill him and thankfully he didn't. I think I would have gone crazy if he did.

After Jazz called me, I began to freak out. I knew a time like this would come soon, where something bad would happen to Edward, but not so soon. Not after Mason being so young, or us just getting back on track.

I think I was being punished.

So here I sat, two days later, begging for my husband to get better. His wound caused damaged to his spleen, which the doctors managed to repair. Thankfully, that was all the damage. When I asked about his life all they said was 'it is in the hands of God'. Yeah, like that is going to help me.

I had Mason with Carlisle and Esme. I didn't particularly want him in the hospital, but they told me he is beginning to get a little restless. I know he is only two months old, but I didn't want him to see his daddy like this. He should only see him strong and being happy.

Not lying in a hospital bed.

There was a knock at Edward's hospital door. We had gotten our private doctor, Dr. Greene to attend to him as well as a private room in the hospital. I said come in and Esme popped her head in.

"How are you holding up Bella?" Esme asked concerned. I hadn't slept much over the past two days and have barely eaten either.
"I'm ok." I simply answered. I didn't want her to know that inside I was dying with worry.

"Bella, get some sleep or eat something please!" She begged me. She had been trying to make me eat or sleep but I just couldn't. I was scared something would happen if I fell asleep or left him and I think I would be sick if I ate anything. Instead I just shook my head at her.

"How about seeing Mason? He would love to see his mommy." Esme tried again. That tore at my heart a little, but I still didn't want to leave Edward.
"Could you bring him in here? I'm sure he would like to be in Edward's presence." I thought that maybe Edward might sense Mason and hopefully wake up and come back to us. Esme grinned and went back out to get Mason.

I pulled Edward's hand to my lips and kissed his knuckles, scraping his stubble across my cheek.

Please be ok baby, I love you so much.

"Here we go." I heard Esme's voice come in. I turned and saw Mason with her. He was wide awake and moving. I couldn't help the smile on my face.

I reached for him and he reached for me. Esme put him in my arms and I hugged him to me, smelling him. He smelt like baby powder and it calmed me a bit. I heard Esme shuffle out the room and close the door.

He pulled on a lock of my hair, looking up at me. I don't think he understood the situation and I was glad. He didn't need to know what his father was going through.

Mason was restless and I knew it was because Edward wasn't feeding him, changing him, washing him or lulling him to sleep. He loved his daddy so much and it broke my heart that he could have lost him.

He kept on pulling my hair but this time I placed him on my lap facing Edward. I looked down at him and saw his eyes light up in recognition. He reached his arms to Edward and started whimpering.

"Shh." I shushed him but it didn't work. He started to get louder and I didn't want a screaming baby in hospital. So I picked him up and lay him on Edward's chest, still holding him, being careful of Edward's wound.

He instantly calmed down and nuzzled into Edward's chest. I knew he was a daddy's boy. I knew then, that Mason would only sleep if he was with Edward. I saw his eyes begin to droop and he put his thumb into his mouth and drifted to sleep.

"His vitals look good and I think he should be awake pretty soon." Dr. Greene assured me. I sighed with relief. I had been waiting for him to wake up for three days now.

"You are sure that he will be ok when he wakes up?" I nervously asked again. Dr. Greene smiled at my curiosity.
"Yes he will. He won't be able to do much and certainly no work for a good few weeks and he will be in quite a bit of pain. So no alcohol or smoking." She listed. I knew Edward would hate this, but he had to stick by it to get better.

"I'll leave you two, to it then." She smiled at me and then Mason, who was currently in my arms sucking a bottle. When Mason woke up from his nap on Edward's chest, he was screaming when we tried to move him.

Ashley, Dr. Greene's real name, said that she would get a cot in here for him and a bed for me. I was so grateful to her. So we slept with Edward last night and it was the first time I wasn't worried to sleep since he had been shot.

I had also managed to eat something after sleeping, much to Esme's persuasion. I looked down at Mason and smiled at him. He was sucking on his bottle like it was the last thing on earth.

I looked at Edward. He looked beautiful, even lying in a hospital bed. You could tell he and Mason were father and son, but you wouldn't have thought that I pushed Mason out.

I leaned down and kissed Mason's head.

"Where is my kiss?" I looked up to Edward's emerald eyes.

"Edward!" I gasped. I made a move to get up, but he stopped me, nodding his head to Mason.
"Where am I?" He asked. Ashley said he may be confused.
"Your in hospital baby." I had to explain to Edward what happened and by each word, his face hardened.

"That bastard." He spat. I looked at him shocked and then he looked sheepish.
"Sorry." He whispered to Mason. I took the bottle out of Mason's mouth and went to burp him.
"Can I do that?" Edward asked shyly. I shook my head at him and he looked sad.

"It will be too sore Edward and I'm not risking anything." I clarified. He nodded and continued to look at me. I patted my hand up and down Mason's back until I heard a tiny burp. I smiled and pulled him away from my shoulder and to my side, wiping his mouth with a baby wipe.

"Can I hold him?" Edward asked excited. I thought about it for a second.
"Please?" Edward expressed. I gave him Mason and warned him to be careful. He had to think of himself too.

"I better call Ashley." I said and pushed the nurse's button. Ashley's voice filled the speaker.
"Bella?"
"He's awake." I spoke to her. She said she would visit us shortly.
"How are you feeling?" I asked him. He shrugged and looked down at Mason.
"I'm sore but ok." He replied. I thought he was lying, but I decided to trust him.

I sat back down and saw Edward looking at me.
"What?" I said self consciously. He just shook his head and smiled. He could be so weird sometimes.

"I thought I lost you." I whispered. Tears formed in my eyes that I wish hadn't.
"Hey baby, I'm here." He soothed. He grabbed my hand and pulled me up off my seat. I went to him willingly and put my arm around his shoulder and he put his arm around my waist. I nuzzled his neck.

We must have looked like such a family. Him and I hugging with our baby on his chest. This should be us, but at home.

"I love you." I breathed.

He grinned his crooked grin at me.

"I love you Bella." He whispered and kissed me on the lips.
