I hadn't realized I was asleep, until a loud sound echoed in the room. I jumped up, startled and Edward's eyes widened, in the same moment Renee gasped. Looking at Charlie, I realized.

Room 203 Part 1

BPOV

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

I panicked, my heart pounding loudly in my chest.

My eyes stopped on Charlie's face and all of my senses shut down.

I couldn't move. I couldn't breathe.

Charlie was dying and I couldn't do anything about it. But no, he wasn't allowed to leave me. Not now. Not when I needed him the most.

I'd barely felt Renee's arm wrap around me and cry onto my shoulder. I felt numb.

I instinctively hugged Renee and tried to pay attention at what was happening around us. I saw Edward run to bring the doctor and Carlisle, but then my sight got blurry as tears threatened to spill over.

Renee's arms tightened around my neck and that brought me slightly out of my state. My breath accelerated, when I heard Charlie's dead heart echo in the room.

"Sit down, please." Phil begged, as he soothed Renee. "He'll be fine." he said firmly and I felt Renee nod against my shoulder.

Was he?

And then I broke down.

EPOV

"Charlie." I said shortly to Carlisle and Dr Reid and they took the hint. We rushed in the room and my eyes stopped on Bella and Renee. They were hugging each other and crying. God, how much I hated seeing her so hurt and sad.

Carlisle tried to bring Charlie back to life by pressing down on his chest. The doctor prepared the defibrillator and I was amazed at how fast they moved. Charlie's body jerked upright as an electric shock passed through him. He landed on the bed with a small thud.

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

I ran to Bella's side and wrapped my arm around her waist, while Renee had her arms around her neck.

Her eyes met mine and I was taken aback by the sadness in them. Her body was shaking with silent sobs and I knew this wasn't good for her and the baby. Charlie was going to live. I just knew it. He had to. For Bella and our child.

"Shhh. Everything is going to be alright." I told them both.

Renee looked at me for a brief second and patted me on the shoulder, thanking me for my support. She hugged Phil then, leaving Bella and I alone. I pulled her onto my lap and brushed gently her hair.

Fresh tears streamed down her cheeks as we kept hearing the beep sound echo in the room. Bella started shaking her head vehemently and a loud sob escaped her. I caught her face in my palms and stared deeply into her eyes. I leaned in until our noses touched and pressed my forehead against hers.

"He can't do this to me." she whispered, probably thinking her voice would have broken if it had been louder.

"Again, Carlisle." I heard Dr Reid say in the background.

"I need him." she whispered again, burying her face in my chest.

"He's not going to leave you." I whispered back, hugging her. He had to live. He couldn't abandon Bella just like this. They needed to sort things out.

Bella's silent tears turned into loud sobs and my heart broke for her and for Charlie.

Then everything changed. The atmosphere changed. Nobody moved and the only thing we could hear was the beep sound. Then it hit me.

I slowly turned to Carlisle and he shook his head, staring down at the floor.

Bella froze in my arms.

"I'm sorry..." Dr Reid started, but Bella stood up abruptly, shaking her head vehemently once again.

"No. No, no. He can't, ok?" she shouted, staring at Charlie. She took a few steps toward his bed and grabbed his hand, forcefully. "You can't leave me, Charlie. Wake up. Now. For me, for Renee, wake up. Just open your eyes, please. Don't you dare leave us alone. Do you hear me?" she yelled, as her voice broke.

Renee was stunned. She couldn't bring herself to talk or even cry.

Bella threw her arms around Charlie's neck and kissed him on the cheek.

"Wake up." she whispered in his ear, loud enough for us to hear.

She kissed him again and I was shocked to hear a new sound echo in the room.

Beep, beep, beep....

My mouth hung open and everyone was too shocked to speak. Bella's arms were still wrapped around his neck, but she was frozen. Dr Reid and Carlisle exchanged a short glance and Renee gasped, while Phil took her in his arms.

"Dad?" Bella whispered shakily and pulled away from him.

Dr Reid shook his head slowly. "I can't believe it. This is truly a miracle."

Charlie was alive. He wasn't dead. He came back for Bella. A huge grin spread across my face as I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind, resting my palms on her belly and kissing her hair. She was speechless.

"But why isn't he waking up?" Renee asked.

"The blow he suffered must have been really serious. His brain needs time." Carlisle said. "But the most important thing right now is that Charlie is alive." he smiled too, while Dr Reid checked up his vitals.

"He seems to be ok." the doctor mumbled to himself and then looked at Carlisle. "This is weird." he frowned, but he seemed to be relieved somehow. "He was dead a couple of seconds ago."

Bella turned around and threw her arms around my neck, crying softly on my shoulder. "Oh Edward..." she whispered, but I could sense the smile in her voice.

"I know." I breathed.

I kissed again the top of her head and tightened my grip on her.

November 9th

BPOV

"Happy birthday, Alice." I smiled halfheartedly, while I leaned into Edward. He pulled me into an embrace.

"Bella." she squealed happily and I rolled my eyes. Edward winced, obviously hearing her excitement through the phone. "I'm so glad you called me. I can't believe I'm already 22. And if I have to be honest, it's pretty terrifying." she mused and I laughed. "We miss you guys. I wish you could be here, celebrating with us." she sighed. "But other than that, I'm very happy you decided to stay there with Charlie. We'll celebrate it later and maybe Charlie will be fine by then." I could feel the sadness in her voice and I bit my lip nervously.

"I hope so." I whispered.

Edward squeezed my hand gently.

I heard different voices come from the other end of the phone and I smiled when I recognized Rosalie's voice.

"Tell her, tell her." she urged and I frowned confused.

"What happened?" Edward whispered in my ear. I shrugged.

"What?" I asked Alice and I winced again when she literally screamed in the phone.

Ow...

"Oh my God, Bella. I didn't want to tell you now, because I know you are very worried about Charlie, but something happened today. Something very very very good." she stopped to prolong the suspense. I was getting nervous by second. "Jasper proposed. I'm getting married."

My eyes widened and I quickly looked at Edward.

"Alice, that's... wow, I-I..." I stammered, but I couldn't stop the huge smirk that broke across my face. Edward frowned confused and although we were in the hospital, I put it on speakerphone. "Congratulations. I'm so happy for you. The both of you." I squealed.

"Jasper proposed." I whispered excited in Edward's ear and his eyes widened.

"Congratulations, Alice, Jasper." Edward chuckled.

"I still can't believe it. I mean, I'm engaged." she screamed again and we heard a smug laugh in the background. I figured it must be Jasper.

"Thanks guys." he said and then Alice giggled.

"Oh, Bella. You need to see the ring." Rose shrieked and I realized Alice must have put the phone on speakerphone too. I rolled my eyes, laughing quietly. "Give it to Jasper to buy you a beautiful engagement ring." she said, her voice implying different meanings.

"Hey." Emmett protested. "Was that a hint?" he asked suspiciously.

"Depends." Rose mused.

I could visualize Emmett's confused expression and I giggled. Edward shook his head in amusement. Those two were so funny together.

"Huh?" Emmett said and I heard Alice laugh.

"You're such an idiot." Jasper mumbled.

"Now, now, Jazzy. How many times do I have to remember you that it's not nice to cuss?" Emmett scolded him in a very motherly way.

"I didn't cuss. I was telling the truth."

"Damn you." Em whispered under his breath, but it was a little too loud.

"And you're talking about cussing." Rose smacked the back of his head and we burst out laughing.

I missed them so much. I wanted to be there, with them, bicker about nothing and laugh. But as much as I wanted to be with them, I wanted to be here. I was split between two places.

"So, when are you going to pop the question, Edward?" Emmett asked, smirking. I looked quickly down and blushed ten shades of red. Edward squirmed uneasily in his seat and I was too embarrassed to look at him.

Give it to Emmett to destroy a perfect moment.

"Shut up." Jasper hissed and I heard a new bang. I giggled nervously, but I was surprised when Edward grabbed my hand, kissing gently every knuckle.

I was confused.

But... hopeful?

Maybe that meant he was going to...

"How is the little one, Bella? I can barely wait to see him." Emmett chuckled.

"He? What makes you think that?" Alice asked. Em didn't answer, so he'd probably shrugged or something. "Well, trust me when I'm telling you it's a girl."

"I think that too." Rose agreed.

"I think it's going to be a boy." Jasper mumbled and I giggled, hearing Alice's loud gasp.

"Oh no. You didn't, Jasper Whitlock."

"What? What did I do?"

"That means you bet against me?" Alice's voice sounded angry, but I was sure she was only acting, trying to scare the lights out of Jasper.

Nobody spoke for five seconds.

"We'll see." Alice sniffed. "What about you, Bella? Edward? What do you think?"

I exchanged a glance with Edward and he rolled his eyes, grinning at me. "Hmm.. I don't know. I don't really care, actually. I want him or her to be healthy. That's all."

Edward scoffed playfully and he stared at me amused. "You know you don't really believe that."

I frowned confused. "What?" Of course, I wanted my baby to be healthy. What did I say wrong?

"That you don't care whether it's a boy or a girl." he smiled smugly at me. "You think it's a boy."

I raised my eyebrows skeptically. "What makes you say that?"

"You're constantly using 'he' whenever you talk about our child. I guess that says everything." his eyes tingled with amusement and I smiled sarcastically at him, nudging him in the ribs with my elbow. He yelped quietly, but attacked me with a short, but passionate kiss on the lips. I completely melted under his touch.

"Ahem." someone said and we broke apart.

Oh.

"And what do you think it is, Edward?" Jasper asked curious. I turned around to look at him. I was very surprised to see him blush.

I burst out laughing.

"Oooo, I like the sound of it." Emmett commented. "So tell us, Eddie. What do you have in mind? An alien, a vampire..." he stopped when Rose hit again the back of his head.

Edward glared at the phone for a moment and then spoke. "Well, I was hoping... um, a girl?" he said shyly and my jaw dropped.

The others laughed. I mean only Emmett, Jasper. Rose, Alice squealed happily.

"Really?" I whispered. "I thought you wanted a boy, since... well, I thought men want boys in general." I blushed.

He smirked. "But that doesn't really matter, since he or she will be a part of us. I wanted a girl, because I'm sure she's going to be as gorgeous as you are, love." he pulled me to his chest and I blushed at his sweet comment.

"Awww..." Rose and Alice sighed.

I thought that was my reason why I wanted to have a boy in the first place. A mini Edward. I grinned against his chest.

"We'll see who's the winner. If my team or yours, Bella." Alice mused. I rolled my eyes.

"Ok, I'll call you later. Good luck with the show tonight. I know you're pretty excited." I sighed.

"I was. Very. But now that I know Jazzy is going to be with me there, I don't feel nervous anymore."

"Hope Charlie will wake up. Bye, guys." they said and I snapped the phone shut.

I rested my head on Edward's shoulder, while he traced soothing circles on my back. He slowly kissed my neck, then tightened his grip on me.

"Are you sure everything is ok with your job?" I whispered. "You're here for almost ten days. I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry." he interrupted me. "I already talked to the Principle and he told me everything is going to be fine. He has found a new teacher to substitute me for as long as I am here."

"Oh. Good." I smiled.

"I can't leave you alone." he kissed the top of my head softly and I sighed.

"Thank you." I breathed, pulling away to stare into his eyes. "I love you, Edward. Thank you for staying here with me."

"I love you too." he caressed my cheek and leaned in for a chaste kiss.

I heard footsteps come in our direction and we both pulled away. I looked up and found Renee smiling apologetically at us.

"Sorry for interrupting, dear. But I was wondering if you would like something to eat. Phil and I are going to the cafeteria downstairs." she said and I shook my head.

"No, thanks, mom. I'm fine."

Edward scowled at me and then turned to Renee. "A sandwich will be good." he smirked and my mom nodded.

I sighed desperate and before I could open my mouth to protest, he pressed his finger to my lips. My mom was already gone.

"Please, Bella. I don't want to argue with you. Besides, you haven't eaten much these days. I don't like it." he scolded me.

"I wasn't hungry." I defended myself, but I knew it was pointless, after he threw me another disapproving look.

November 22nd

"Renee and Phil had to leave for a couple of days, dad. Phil had an emergency, but don't worry. Renee promised to be back as soon as possible." I smiled, kissing his frozen hand. "It has been almost three weeks since you had that accident. It's weird how time flies."

I was alone with Charlie in his room. Edward was attending to a phone call in the hallway, leaving me this way some minutes alone with my dad.

"The doctor told me it's good to talk to you. He assured me you could hear me, but... I'm... I'm not sure." I sighed, trying not to cry. "I want to think you do, but it's so hard to tell. You're so... still. So motionless." I sighed deeply.

I looked at him, hoping for a little sign from him.

Nothing.

"Well, Carlisle told me to be patient, but I'm so close to giving birth, that I'm terrified you won't wake up until then." I stopped to take a deep breath. "Oh, he left a week ago. The hospital, back in Seattle needed him, so he couldn't remain any longer here. But he told us he will come to see you, if something bad happens. I'll never be able to thank him enough."

Just then, Edward entered the room and he smiled toward me. But it was off. His smile didn't reach his eyes, so I frowned confused.

"What's wrong?" I whispered, but much for my dismay, he shook his head.

"Nothing."

I looked at him suspiciously, but he didn't tell me anything. Maybe it wasn't that important, but I felt uneasy. Why would he keep a secret from me? I know how overprotective he can be, but he trusts me.

I decided to drop it for a while. He knew I wasn't done and ran his fingers through his messy bronze hair.

"How is he?" Edward asked, kissing gently my forehead.

"The same." I shrugged with a sigh.

"Guess what?" he whispered in my ear and I sensed the smile in his voice. I raised my eyebrows, waiting for him to continue. The he dropped the bomb. "Alice, Jasper, Rose and Emmett are coming tomorrow."

My eyes widened and I jumped up, excited. "Really?"

He nodded and I threw myself at him, whispering. "That's great. I miss them so, but so much." he chuckled gently in my ear and pulled away to kiss me passionately.

His hands slipped on my hips, while I tried to pull him closer to my body. That was impossible since my huge belly was in the way. Like a signal, the baby hit me. Hard. I pulled quickly away and closed my eyes forcefully.

He'd never hit me so hard before.

"Bella, are you ok?" Edward panicked, pressing his hand to my cheek.

"I'm... fine. I think. It's nothing. He just kicked me." I explained, taking a deep breath.

Edward frowned concerned. "Maybe you should sleep." he suggested.

"I've slept twelve hours last night, Edward. I'm definitely not tired." I rolled my eyes.

After staying so much in the hospital, Edward drove us back to the hotel, where we spent the night. I told him to wake me up early in the morning, but he of course let me sleep. But I couldn't scold him. I was indeed tired and he wasn't fool not to notice it.

He nodded, unwillingly and encircled my waist with his strong arms. My hormones got the best of me, as I captured his lips with my own. He smiled, being caught off guard. His hands traveled up and down my body and I shivered in pleasure. Then I realized what he was up to.

He tickled my sides and I giggled uncontrollably, squirming in his embrace.

"Edward, stop... please, Edward." I laughed.

Then he stopped abruptly, his eyes focusing on something behind me. I turned around and I heard Charlie's irregular heartbeats. His face was still, but there was something wrong.

"Charlie, are you alright?" I asked, suddenly very worried. "Edward, is he ok?" I looked at Edward. He seemed to be way too calm for my liking. "What?" I hissed.

Edward showed me Charlie's heartbeats again. They were normal again.

Weird.

I frowned, trying to find a good reason for the sudden change in his state.

Edward chuckled, whispering in my ear. "I think he can hear us."

Oh.

Um, I leave it to you to judge it. Hope you like it!

I'm sorry to tell you, but this story is coming to its end. *weep* The chapters aren't written yet, but from what I have in mind, there are going to be two or three chapters left. Maybe even four. I don't know. I think there will be an epilogue though.
