A/N This story has turned into so much more and although I am pretty sure none of you read these author notes I'd just like to say that if I get more than 3 reviews (even it's to tell me that you want to start the lemony goodness) then that's okay. I just need feedback. Thanks so R & R.

On with the story:

Chapter 26

J POV

2 weeks.

That's how long it's been since her skin had colour.

That's how long it's been since the last time we've kissed, hugged, touched but most of all it's been 2 weeks since I've heard her say that she loves me.

I don't think I can stand it anymore. I feels like I'm watching her die slowly but there's nothing I can do about that. God, I can't lose her. I don't think I've ever prayed more in my entire life. I need her, more than I need food and air. She has to come back to me.

God, it's been 2 weeks since I lost the one thing that meant more to me than my tribe; Bella.

It's been 2 agonizingly long fucking weeks that since fateful night (God I sound so cheesy).

Flashback

I had been at the hospital for an total of 5 hours since Charlie stormed into the hospital parking lot, blasting he's sirens and flashing he's red and blue lights violently. Seconds after he's arrival I heard the sound of he's cruiser door being slammed shut as he marched towards the hospital doors.

I was terrified of course that, no matter how cool Charlie was with me and Bells' relationship, he would blame me for he's daughters condition or throw me out and maybe even tell me to never see he's daughter again. He managed to surprise me again however when he stormed in and screamed at the doctors and nurses to tell him what in the name of all that is holy had happen to he's daughter.

Of course I had never seen this side of Charlie. This ladies and gentleman was Chief Swan barking out orders first and asking questions later. He was a leader in that very moment and I realize then that he was stronger and more independent that I'd ever seen him. Here he wasn't Charles Swan; the man who had married a free spirited woman that left him and took their daughter with her. There-right in that very moment-he was comfortable and brutal. My respect for him managed to triple in size and I had never thought that to be possible.

I had been so lost in my thoughts that I didn't hear him come to stand in front of me, effectively blocking my path as I continued to unconsciously pace the floor. The fact that I didn't hear him meant of course that I didn't know he was there until I bumped into him mid-stride.

I was apologizing before my mind could fully process what had just transpired and all Charlie did was brush it off and tell me that it was he's fault for thinking I'd notice him before knocking into him and nearly sending him flying across the room.

However nothing could have prepared me for he's next statement: "I'm glad you're here for her son. I know she's been hurt a lot but I also know you love her and that's exactly what she needs. Love. Something I never could have given to her." He said as he spoke sincerely.

My heart was beating so hard, I thought even Charlie could hear it. I was rendered speechless by he's words. I felt like my breath had been knocked out of me.

I couldn't respond at first but after a few seconds I responded the best way I could.

"She's my everything Charlie and after she graduates. I want to marry her, with your blessing." I had been thinking of proposing but I knew that I needed her dads approval first she is the only woman I want to spend the rest of my life with.

I held my breath as I awaited he's answer. I knew the circumstances weren't ideal. I mean I'm pretty sure she had called him the second I stormed out the house after our argument.

I still remember that vividly. I had been under so much stress I just took it out on Embry and Leah. Then she just had to storm into the room all flushed with her nose scrunched up in anger. I loved that look on her but I also knew that she was pissed off which was never good. Then the weather went from bad to worse. It was like the weather was directly linked to her emotions. Then she exploded and the heavens seemed to open up and poor buckets of rain. Along with the thunder and lightning it was a horrifying sight. But none of the pack dared to move or blinke. I don't think any of us had ever seen her than angry. Soon enough she was kicking us out the house and scolding us for nearly phasing in the house.

I was brought out of my memories by the sound of Charlie voice.

"I was wondering when you'd finally ask her." He said grinning smugly. "You have my blessing to marry my daughter son. Her mother I'm not sure about though." He said chuckling.

I groaned inwardly and thought gosh I'm going to have to leave with her to see her mom before graduation since I know she'll be stressed about finals which start in 2 weeks.

The doctor decided on that exact moment to walk in and say, "I'm looking for the people here to see Ms Bella Swan."

Charlie and I were in front of her seconds later and that's when I realized that the pack had arrived while I was talking to Charlie. Well everyone (including imprints) besides Jared who I assumed was patrolling.

"It's not that bad really. She has lost a lot of blood. She bruised a rib and her nose. And she also had a mild concussion but she might not wake up soon, because her body needs the rest. We have tried everything we can but we hope that she wakes up." She said confidently but cautiously.

"You hope?" Charlie asked after a while and judging by the crack in he's voice, he was having trouble accepting the fact that she might never wake up. As was I, it was overwhelming the amount of agony I felt at that moment can only be described with one word. Torture.

End flashback

So here I am, sitting besides my girlfriends bed in a hospital, hoping and praying she wakes up.

"Leah misses you. I know she won't say it but she does, and so do the rest of the girls. The guys are always complaining about the lack of food lately but I think what's getting to us is how your house has lost its homey feeling." I said softly, hoping she could hear as tears developed in my eyes. My grip on her left hand tightened.

"Baby Charlie misses you so much. He can't even sleep anymore. We've slept here in this room with you for the past 2 weeks and it's been hell but baby it would all be worth it if you just open your eyes for me. I just. . . I need to hear you say my name. Most of all, I need to hear you tell me that you love me as much as I love you babe. We've been through so much together already Bells; I know you can pull through. Not just for me but for Charlie too." I paused and took a deep breath trying desperately to not break down and cry like I did the first night I saw her laying the white as the bed sheets that covered her body. She looked to lifeless, she felt so cold but most of all she felt dead to the touch.

I felt like I'd lost her and after crying my eyes out I resolved by promising that I'd be there every night.

"Renee was here too. I'm pretty sure you know that already. She flew here and she refuses to leave until she knows you're okay. God I miss you Bells. I miss every fucking thing about you. I can't wait to have you in my arms again honey. But you have to come back to me. You just have to. I need you because I love you Bells. Come back to me Bella Black." And with that I broke down. I could feel the sobbed rake through my body as I slumped forward and lay my head gently on her abdomen.

Embry POV

Standing outside of Bella's hospital room, I ( along with the rest of the pack) could hear the sound of Jake's gut wrenching sobs. We were all in pain from our Alpha's lose.

We felt he's emotions like the were our own. Most of the pack was in agony and everyone was drawing in strength from their significant others.

Leah whom has never wanted to openly show any signs of weakness was crying hysterically in my arms and so were the other imprints but the guys weren't too far off either. Charlie had Faith ( a nurse at this very hospital/girlfriend) and Billy had Sue. Everyone had someone, except for Jacob but he's managed to keep up the facade in front of us. He is still a remarkable leader but we can all see the pain in he's eyes when someone does something that reminds him of Bells or when we say her name.

I don't know what to say to make it better. I half expected him to go on a killing spree to relieve some stress but he refuses to do anything stupid while she's not there to stop him.

Sure training has gotten harder and patrol times have gotten longer but we all knew he was paranoid because he still has no idea what happened. No one does.

Leah and I had searched high and low about what could have happened. We've gone through journal after Journal hoping to find something but we came up short and I can see that's it slowly beginning to eat away at him.

Even Paul isn't he's usual sarcastic self. He and Bella had formed a friendship of sorts. They argued and fought but in the end he (to an extent) brought out the fighter in her and he made her stronger. Sometimes I wonder how they would've worked as a couple.

We were also still searching for the Cullen's as Jake wanted but we couldn't find them. They didn't leave any traces anywhere they went off their old lives. So we had decided to hope they come to us. We are going to need them in battle and I'm glad Jake realized that. I know now why he was chosen as Alpha.

Quil also wasn't looking great and neither were Bella's best friends. They were distraught and I could tell that they missed her dearly. They were the three musketeers in a sense and now the missed the last and most important member. I realize now that Bella brings us all together. The imprints makes sure we stay together sure but it doesn't provide the love that she does. She resembles all the innocence and love but most of all the nurture most of us didn't have as children.

During the last week we also found that Angela is an Elemental which is someone who can control all elements of Nature and Ray is very powerful witch. They both are very powerful and are apparently here to guide natures Queen in using her powers and they are here also as her protectors.

Wow talk about weird. They also said that Leah is Bella mode of transportation. Almost like a horse. She was made for the sole purpose of her protection.

But the biggest shocker has to be that Bella is Native American and South African. Shit. That reminds we still haven't told Jake about that but it's not our fault that circumstances would allow it.

I was brought out of my trip down memory lane by the sound of Jacob's voice that sounded stronger that it's been since Bella's incident.

"Bells!"
