THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE REVIEWS :)

SUSIE

I raced home after I bumped into Lucas, things were about to get really complicated around here. I felt bad for Billy he had truly fell in love with Lucy in the last couple of days, he was trying his hardest to just be her friend, but the more he got to know her the more he fell for her.

My mom was sitting on the front porch with her face buried in her hands, as I stepped closer to her I noticed that she was crying.

"Mom, what's wrong?" I asked anxiously.

She looked up at me with red rimmed eyes, I ran to her side and draped my arm around her shoulder "I am worried about Emma, it's been a month and she still hasn't woken up. And Nessie, I went to visit her today and she looked so fragile, every time the baby kicks her she squirms it's so disturbing, your brother is so worried, you should see him, Susie, he looks like a walking zombie." She sobbed.

"On mom, things are going to get better I promise. Emma is a fighter; she is going to get through this. Sam and Nessie are the two strongest people I have ever met, they'll be fine, besides Carlisle said that Nessie was going to live through this, and she will. Just think about the beautiful grandson they are going to give you"

She smiled warmly "Thanks honey"

"No prob, mom. I hate to see you so upset"

"Embry's inside waiting for you" she told me, I could not help the smile that crept on my face at the sound of his name.

"Are you going to be alright?" I asked her.

She nodded "I don't want your father to see me like this, so I will stay out here for a bit"

"Okay" I got up "I love you mom"

"I love you too Susie"

I walked inside and found my dad and Embry watching the Mariner's game, Embry's eyes found mine and I was immediately engulfed in one of his warm hugs.

"I missed you" he whispered into my ear.

"I missed you too; you have been working too much" I scolded.

"You can blame your dad"

"Baby's are expensive, you should be kissing my feet for giving you extra hours" my dad grinned.

"Thank you daddy" I replied sarcastically.

He shrugged "Susie, where's your mom?" he asked.

"She's outside, on the porch. She needed some alone time."

"Is she okay?" my dad asked anxiously.

"She's fine, she's just stressed about everything going on, you know Emma and the whole thing going on with Sam and Nessie"

He grimaced "I should go talk to her"

"No dad, she wants to be alone" I told him before he made any efforts to go and follow her.

He nodded "Hey have you seen your brother, I feel like I haven't seen him in ages"

I laughed nervously "I think Billy is getting one hell of a surprise right now"

"Susie, what's going on?" my dad asked, while I cringed closer to Embry's side.

"Uh . . ." I hesitated "Dad, while I was at the store, I bumped into someone"

"Who?" they both pushed.

"Lucas . . ."

My dad and Embry stared at me wide eyed, when suddenly the door burst open. Billy ignored our presence as he ran up to his room, my mom followed him distressed. We ran up the stairs, to see Billy slam the door in my mom's face.

My mom stood frozen her eyes never leaving the door, my dad rushed to her side as her knees buckled. My dad cradled her in his arms; it hurt to see my mom so upset. She was breaking down right in front of my eyes. The stress of everything that had occurred in the last month was finally catching up to her.

Embry wrapped an arm around my waist, I held him tight, feeling as if he was my only escape from all the misery that was circling us. My dad carried my mom up to their room, after he placed her in their bed he came out and stormed into Billy's room, I felt bad for Billy because my father looked beyond furious.

JACOB

Leah was always the strong one, she kept our family together. The past couple of weeks had been a nightmare for her, I knew that Sam and she shared a strong connection; he was her first son and the one whom she had leaned on before she found me, seeing her son who had always been so full of life depressed was eating her up.

As I held her in my arms while she cried, I couldn't help but think about how much more she could possibly take before her body finally gave up.

"Babe, you need to rest" I whispered as I carried her from the hallway back to our room.

"I am sorry" she muttered as I laid her on the bed.

I wiped her hair off her face "Don't apologize, love. I love you so much; don't give up on me yet"

She nodded as a warm smile spread across her lips, she placed her small hand on cheek "You are the reason I am still here"

I placed my hand on top of hers "Thank you" I mouthed as I bent down and kissed her lips gently.

I left her to rest and rushed back to Billy's room, that kid was going to get a good talking too, he had no right to slam the door in anyone's face, especially his mother's, that woman deserved the uttermost respect.

I burst into his room and found him sitting on his bed, his face was buried in his hands and his frame was trembling.

"I want to be alone" he muttered.

"I do not care how alone you want to be, you do not slam doors in anyone's face, especially your mother's. Do you not realize how much you hurt her by shutting her out of your life?"

He looked up at me, I cringed at the sight of his eyes, they were so full of pain and anger, and definitely a look I had never seen on my care free son.

"Look, I am sorry for hurting mom, it isn't my intention. But my life pretty much sucks right now, so excuse me if I ask for some personal space."

I walked up to his bedside and sat next to him "I know that Lucas is in town, and I understand that it is really hard to see the woman you love with another man, but be patient son, it's only a matter of time before Lucy realizes who she can't live without"

He got up from the bed and began to pace his room frustrated "What if she doesn't choose me? What if she chooses Lucas? Heck why wouldn't she choose him, she chose to fall in love with him, and I am just that weird guy that she is bonded to by some mythical bond" he spat.

"Billy, I know Lucas is a great guy, but you don't underestimate yourself. I have seen in the past month how Lucy looks at you, she doesn't look at you like some weird stalker, she looks at you like your mom looks at me, she is falling for you son, don't lose hope just yet"

He smiled "I kissed her today, right before Lucas showed up, I actually kissed her"

He seemed mesmerized and I couldn't help but burst out laughing "I told you patience is going to win you that girl"

He nodded "I hope your right dad, because I can't lose her"

"I know, that's why you have to go and apologize to your mom, because all you kids are tearing her apart"

"I am sorry, I'll go and apologize right now" he told me sheepishly as he walked to the door.

"Oh and thanks dad"

"Don't mention it son"

COLLIN

A month. An entire month. She has not showed any signs of life for a month. If it wasn't for her stable heartbeat proving to me that there was still hope, I would be mourning the life of my love right now.

I never left her side unless it was completely necessary. I couldn't help but feel guilty for what I had caused, she was laying in this bed because I wasn't man enough to fight for our love, but I was determined that once her eyes opened I was going to get down on one knee and propose to her, she wanted a life together and hell I was going to give it to her.

I intertwined our fingers together and watched her lifeless body, she was so beautiful. Sam and Emily had forgiven me for my absurd conclusion on breaking up with their daughter, Levi was still pretty pissed and Sam was too preoccupied with Nessie and their unborn child to really care about my presence whenever he came to visit.

The guy was really beating himself up, he looked a lifeless corpse last time he stopped by to see Emma. If you asked him about Nessie, he would just shrug and sink back into his own personal hell hole.

Levi stopped by everyday and sometimes brought little Leyla with him. But I was the one that was permanently fixed to her bedside, I would sleep by her side never letting go off her hand. I had not phased since the incident, and I was determined to keep it that way.

I found myself walking with my head down, my eyes never meeting the eyes of other woman who inhabited the hospital; I was taking every precaution necessary. When Brady would come over and visit, he would continuously make fun of my antics, but he wasn't in love like I was, he didn't understand the pain it would cause both Emma and I if I imprinted.

"Hey Collin" I turned to see Lucy walking hand in hand with some guy who seemed vaguely familiar.

"Hey" I muttered

"Collin this is Lucas, Lucas this is Collin, Emma's . . . "she hesitated. "Boyfriend?"

I bit my lower lip and stroked Emma's hair "Only if she takes me back after all of this is over"

Lucy sat down across from me, Lucas right behind her, his hands on her shoulders, "Collin, when Emma wakes up she is going to be so happy to see that you stayed by her side" she told me sincerely.

"I hope so" I muttered

She placed her hand on top of my mine "Emma loves you Collin, don't ever doubt that"

I smiled appreciatively at her "Thanks"

Lucy and Lucas stayed for a couple of hours, in which we all talked and laughed, Lucas seemed like a pretty cool guy, I pitied him, he had no idea what he was getting himself into.

Once they departed I was left alone with my princess, Sam and Emily had come in and out of the room before I literally forced them to go and rest.

I stroked her hair and looked at her face intently; I wanted to remember all her features.

"I can't wait for you to wake up babe"

"You have no idea how much I miss talking to you" I traced her lips "I was jerk Em, I was an idiot for not appreciating the amazing woman god had given me"

I grabbed her hand and brought it to my lips "I love you Emma Samantha Uley and I can't wait for you to open your eyes so I can finally make you my wife"

"That's what you wanted right?"

"I hate myself for not asking you when you told me you wanted more, I was foolish to think that we could move on with our lives, because you and me, Em you and me are meant for each other. I don't care if there is a mystical bond telling us otherwise, I love you, and you love me and that is all that matters."

I got up from my chair and leaned down, I planted a small kiss on her forehead. I sat back down and once again took her hand in mine; I was playing with her fingers, when I suddenly felt as if she was gripping me back.

I gasped as I realized that her fingers were moving, they were gripping my hand back, and my eyes welled up with tears as they traveled back to her beautiful face.

And it happened, my breathing intensified as the eyes of my angel finally fluttered open.

YAY! EMMA RESURFACED :) HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE CHAPTER . . . SORRY IF I BORED YOU IN THE BEGINNING BUT I PERSONALLY LIKED MY ENDING ") PLEASE REVIEW!!!!
