CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE- RECOVERING

"Nessie?" Jacob gasped as I opened my eyes. That had to be the biggest flashback I have ever had. I saw my whole life from the moment I was born right up to now. I tried to sit up and I whimpered as pain shot all the way through my body. Jacob's warm hands gently pushed me back down.

"What happened?" I asked as I took in my body with some bandages here and there with a drip connected to me.

Jake growled lowly. "Britney." He spat out. "She got you and beat you up a little bit before setting the room on fire." Well I remembered that bit but how bad was I?

As if he could read my mind Jacob answered. "You had a few broken ribs and a bump on the head along with the smoke inhalation your body just shut down for a while."

"So wait how long have I been out?" I asked a little panicky.

"About a week." He answered gazing into my eyes refusing to break contact. "Carlisle wasn't sure when you were going to wake up because you were just so out of it. You gave no sign of waking up any time soon and it scared me so much." He said bowing his head and resting it on my arm. I reached out with my arm- wincing when it hurt- and touched his hair lightly stroking it trying to sooth him.

"When I saw you under all that debris your head bleeding and unresponsive; I have never been so scared in all my life." He mumbled into my skin.

I turned my head to look at the door when I saw it open and my parents walked in. "Oh baby you're awake!" My mother cried out and wrapped her arms over my form as if she was trying to shield me.

"I'm fine mom." I said wrapping my arm that wasn't trapped under Jacob around her. "I'm so sorry."

Mom realised me to look at my face. Her expression was shocked and pained. "Why are you apologising?" She asked appalled.

"Because it's all my fault." I said sniffing.

"Sweetheart, how could it possibly be your fault? If it's anybody's fault its mine. I didn't hear you on time and I couldn't reach you. I should have got there sooner." My dad said with his voice cracking. I reached my arm out towards him and he walked over to me wrapping his stone arms around me.

"Everything will be okay now." He soothed me. "Britney is dead, Caius is dead and they are never going to hurt you again. Nothing will stand in the way of us being a family again." He vowed and he stood up looking at me in fierce determination.

Jacob looked up then and nodded in agreement before looking at my face again. He looked like he was trying to hold back tears.

"Where are Sammy and Martin? Are they okay?" I asked.

"There're fine Ness. They have come to see you a few times but they have had to go to school." Mom explained stroking my hair as she sat down on the edge of the bed next to me. Dad smiled at me and Jake squeezed my hand.

"How are you feeling Ness?" Carlisle asked as he walked in smiling at me.

I shrugged my shoulders. "Okay I guess."

"Does anything hurt?"He asked pressing different parts of my body.

"I'm a little sore and achy but I remember everything." I said and everyone froze and looked at me with wide eyes.

"You remember everything?" My dad asked slowly still shocked.

"Yeah it was the weirdest thing. As I blacked out I had a huge flashback and I saw my whole life from my birth to now. I remember everything." I explained.

"Can you remember why you were taken?" Carlisle asked with his eyes sparkling at this new knowledge.

"Yeah. It was for this programme where they just go around taking kids form wherever they go and then they mess with their memories. Then they sell them to rich people who can't have children." I said disgusted. I was so angry at my adoptive parents for going along with that. It was sick but I wondered if it still happened. "It was Caius who killed my parents and Britney killed Jack out of thirst and revenge." I said with tears beginning to form in my eyes.

Jacob moved up to kiss my forehead reassuringly and I smiled at him. He smiled back and seemed to be jumping for joy that I was finally awake. I loved him so much.

My dad smiled and began to pull my mom out the room. "I'm sure Renesmee needs to rest now. She has been through a lot." My dad said and my mom blew a kiss at me before walking out. Carlisle did a few more tests on me before walking out himself.

I clutched Jacob's hand tighter in mine. "You're not going to leave are you?" I asked with my voice rising.

He smiled at me gently. "If you don't want me to I wouldn't leave you for the world." He said and kissed me on the lips. I think it was meant to be just a peck but I wanted more. I held on to his face clutching him to me and opened my mouth to deepen the kiss. He followed without hesitation and our lips danced in sensual bliss. When he pulled away we were both panting and he placed a delicate kiss on my cheek before sitting back down on the chair that was next to my bed again.

"I missed you so much." Jacob whispered huskily bringing my hand to his lips and keeping it there.

"I missed you too." I choked out. I never wanted to leave again. I wanted to stay with my real family. I got what I had wished for my whole life: my real family that had been looking for me for years. I loved them so much and I had my true love by my side. As cheesy as it sounded I liked it. I was back where I belonged and no one could take me away again.

I drifted back to sleep thinking about all of this and I felt Jacob press his lips to my forehead.

"I love you Renesmee." He said against my skin resting his forehead against mine.

"I love you too Jacob." I said as I rifted to sleep.
