I'm a little disappointed. only two people got it right. so, congrats to A Nonny Mouse 23, and twilight20sarah13cullen. they got it correct, and won a sneak peak. oh, and Shari Tamwood also got it while i was writing this! congrats!
well, the answer was that it was from new moon, and jacob said it. They had just gotten back from their first hike, and they were talking about the 'bears'.
we all know those aren't really bears.

I had many visitors through out the day. There was Renee and Phil, who stayed for a couple hours. Phil stayed near the door, or not in the room most of the time. Charity was always watching him. I didn't bother to tell them Charity had no where to go later today. She would be miserable there, with Phil.
Emily, and Blake also stopped by. Charity and Blake played happily with each other for a little bit while Emily, and I talked, mostly about what had happened to her, and me. She was really understanding, seeing as she is the only other person who has ever been attacked my a werewolf, and survived. Before they left, I asked her if she had any idea what was going on with the pack, but she didn't.
Angela, and Ben came, of course, to visit. Apparently, Angela's roommate had gone missing. Also, the two other girls that worked at the daycare came to visit. They told me to take as long as I needed. I actually wasn't sure if I wanted to return to work at the daycare. I felt it was time I made some changes. Carlisle also cam in every once and a while to check in on me.
When it was around right, people stopped coming in. I was actually glad. I needed some quiet. But, I still didn't have anyone to watch Charity. She was siting quietly in the chair next to my bed, playing with her skirt, which she still had on.
I settled back to wait for Carlisle to come in for the last time today so I could ask him to borrow his cell phone. I would just have to ask Emily to watch Charity. I hoped she wouldn't mind. I knew I could have just simply said Carlisle's name, and he would have heard me, but I didn't want to distract him from whatever he was doing.
"Awice!" Charity said suddenly, jumping up from her chair, and running to the door. Alice was standing there, arms wide open, waiting for Charity to reach her. she scooped her up into her arms, and carried her over to my bed when she did reach her.
"Hi Alice." I said, a smile spreading across my face.
She reached down, and gave me a gentle hug. "God Bella, we were all so worried about you." She said, pulling back.
"Carlisle told me what happened." I said. She nodded, and sat down in the chair, pulling Charity onto her lap.
"So, Bella... Do you know why I'm here?" She asked.
"To visit your friend?" I asked, knowing that wasn't it.
"Well, besides that."
"No, why?" She looked down at Charity.
"I had a vision that you needed a babysitter tonight." She said, looking back up at me, smiling.
"Would you really, Alice?" I asked.
"Of course. I know Esme would love too. And I'm pretty sure Charity would love to spend some more time with Jasper." I giggled at the memory. She did really like Jasper.
"Did all that really happen just yesterday? It seems like weeks ago." I said, voicing my thoughts.
"I know. So much can happen is such a short time." Alice said, seems to be lost in thought. A yawn slipped through my lips.
"Sorry Bella. You need your rest so you can get better soon." She stood up, picking up Charity too. She set Charity down on my bed.
"Bye baby. Your gonna go stay with Alice tonight, okay." I said, looking at her in the eye.
She nodded. "Otay momma." I gave her a soft hug, and a peck on the head.
"You be good." I said as Alice picked her up.
"Bye momma."
"Bye Bella."
"Bye you guys. Thanks Alice." I said as they walked out of the room.
I settled back into my bed, sleep quickly taking me over.

Time passed slowly for me. It's pretty boring when your stuck in a hospital with nothing to do. I mean, I had people visiting me, but they couldn't stay all day. They could go places, and do things, which I was jealous of them for. I couldn't go places, and do things. No, I was stuck here in this bed.
I felt bad. We had to celebrate Charity's birthday here in the hospital. We were supposed to have it down on first beach as a bonfire party. But we couldn't because I was stuck here in the hospital. So, Emily made her a cake, and brought it in. Then, Emily, Blake, and the whole pack, minus Leah, crammed into my tiny room for her birthday. Charity actually seemed to enjoy it quite a lot.
My birthday passed without much notice. Esme, Alice, Carlisle, Charlie, Renee and Jake were the only ones who wished me a happy twenty-first birthday. The other couple people I saw were either still talking about Charity's, or had forgotten. I didn't mind, though. I would rather prefer that everyone just completely forgot about my birthday. I was just becoming another year older, after all. No big deal.
I managed to convince Renee to go home after about a week. I told her I would be fine, and would call her as soon as I got out. She left unwillingly.
Days eventually turned into weeks. The weeks then turned ino a month. And I was finally allowed to leave. But I had to be careful. No strain on my back, no lifting things. I had to come back in two weeks for a check up, and I was on several different medicines. So, I pretty much couldn't do anything at home. But, I was finally free of the hospital.

I had been out of the hospital a couple days, and had just put Charity to bed when I heard a gentle knock on the door. I set my cup down on the kitchen counter, and went to the door, wondering who would be here this late. I pulled open my door to find Edward standing there, his hair dripping down into his face slightly from the light rainfall.
"Edward." I said a little surprised. I hadn't seen him since the day I went over to his house. He hadn't visited me in the hospital once.
"Hello." He said, a small smile playing on his lips.
"Come in, your getting soaked." I said, stepping to the side. He came in, and I shut the door.
"Bella, I'm sorry I didn't visit you in the hospital. I wanted to, believe me, but I didn't know if I would be able to control myself when I saw your injuries." Edward said.
I walked over to the couch, and sat down. "What do you mean?" He had never had problems with his thirst around me for a long time. He had even been able to resist draining me when he tasted my blood.
"Not your blood, I wasn't worried about that. No, I was afraid that when I saw how bad your injuries were for myself I would go after that dog again." He explained, sitting down on the other end of the couch from me.
"Again? What do you mean by again?" I asked.
"Well, when Carlisle told you had died, I wanted nothing more than to kill that dog. But, Emmett and Jasper stopped me before I could do anything."
"Why would you do that? It would only make the pack attack! Did you not think of that?" I asked, mad.
"I did. But, I thought, and hoped, that they would only come after me." Edward said, not looking at me.
"So... you wanted the pack to kill you? Why would you want that?" I asked him, angry.
"Bella, I'm not going to continue living if you are not." He said. A memory from when we were still a happy couple came back to me.
"Edward, we've had this talk before. You are not to hurt yourself if something happened to me! Would you want me to go off, and kill myself if you died?" I demanded from him.
"I see you remember our previous talk about this." He said when a smile. "Bella, if I died, you wouldn't kill yourself. You have a daughter who needs you."
"I may not die physically, but I could die mentally. That's what happened the first time you left. I wasn't me anymore, Edward. I was a zombie. I had died."
"I'm sorry. I didn't know it would be that hard on you. I had thought you would forget and move on." Edward said, turning so he was facing me across the couch.
"It's impossible for me to forget you, Edward. You were my life back then, and when you left you took away every reason I had for living. You broke me, Edward." I said, looking into his eyes.
"And I'm so-" I cut him off.
"Don't say that! Don't say that you're sorry!" I said, my voice loud, but not loud enough to wake Charity. I leaning forward, closer to Edward.
"Then what do you want me to say?" He asked. His voice was soft, and it drew me in. I leaned closer.
"You don't have to say anything." I whispered. Then, I leaned forward, and pressed my lips to his.
