Sorry I haven't updated in a couple days. I was busy.

I'm thinking of bringing Mike back into the story just for a chapter or two. Should I??

Stephanie Meyer owns everything!

I didn't know how much time had gone by. It could have been days. Hours. Minutes... seconds. I wasn't sure.

I couldn't talk because of the pain, so Dee communicated with me through my mind. She would also report to the family how I was feeling - especially Edward. He didn't leave my side once. Literally.

Dee, tell Edward he doesn't have to stay. I know this is hurting him. Make him go hunt or something. He hasn't gone in a while. I though.

"Bella says you can leave if you want. She knows this is hurting you. She said you should hunt." Dee repeated.

I heard Edward groan. "Bella," he complained. "I'm fine. The only one you should be concerned about is yourself. Besides, I went hunting the other day."

Though he tried to hide it, I could hear the pain in his voice. Edward hated to see me hurting.

That's not the point! I screamed in my head. It's hard for you to see me like this. I know that - I'm not stupid. Please, please go do something else. Please leave. I don't want you seeing me like this.

Dee repeated my exact words, and I knew Edward was probably frowning.

"Bella, I'm not leaving. I'm fine - just concerned about you." He told me, his voice decided.

I growled under my breath, and Edward heard me. "Don't worry about me. Please."

Fine. Be that way. But when I get better, be prepared to start running. I warned. Dee laughed as she told Edward what I had said.

Edward sighed. "This is going to be a long two days."

I don't know how Bella did it. Honestly, I didn't understand how she could be so still! When I had gone through this, I had been screaming and thrashing for days. But with Bella, she didn't even move.

Maybe she didn't feel any pain. Maybe I had been in more pain than she. Maybe she was tougher than me.

I winced at the last one because of the very likely possibility.

"Is she okay?" Edward asked. "Bella hasn't said anything in a while."

I'm fine. She confirmed in her head. Just wondering how long I've been like this.

"Bella's okay. She's just wondering how long she's been going through the change." I informed him.

Edward nodded, then looked at me. "How long has it been? I haven't been keeping count of the days."

"Just a couple more hours." I smiled. "Bella's really brave. She didn't even scream at all!"

Edward chuckled and grinned down at Bella, who was smiling slightly.

Thank you. She said.

"She just thanked me." I said out-loud.

"Who just thanked you?" Emmett asked as he walked into the family room, the other's right behind him.

"Bella. I complimented her." I said.

He just shrugged, not really caring.

"Back already?" I asked.

Everyone besides Edward had gone on a hunting trip. I was surprised they were back already - they'd only been gone for about a day.

"Yeah. We didn't want to miss Bella waking up." Alice told me.

I nodded. "She only has a couple hours left."

Why did they come back just for me? They should enjoy their hunting trip. Tell them I'm fine. Bella demanded. I sighed.

"Bella's not to happy that you guys came back in the middle of your trip just for her. She wanted you to enjoy it. She says she's fine." I rolled my eyes - Bella needed to accept the fact that family take care of each other when in need. She was hurting right now, and her family cared for her.

Esme sat down on the sofa Bella laid on, patting her hair. "Don't worry, sweetie. We wanted to be here for you. We're fine - honestly."

Bella sighed in her head. Tell them I said thank you, but that I'm still unhappy.

"Bella says thanks, but she's still unhappy."

Edward was right. This was going to be a long two days.

Sorry it's kind of short. For the next chapter, I think I'm going to have Dee explain the whole taking-over-her-place thing. It's time the Cullen family found out.

Review! And feel free to suggest any ideas. =)

Peace out!
