EPOV

Jan 11th

As much as I hated the circumstances, I was beginning to set into a decent routine here in the hospital. Esme, Charlie and I had sat down this morning and dealt with contacting Bella's professors and letting them know what was going on. They all offered to let Bella continue her last semester from home once she was healed if not she could complete her work in summer session if necessary. I felt better knowing we were doing something so at least Bella wouldn't miss out and have to completely do her work all over again.

We began taking shifts at Bella's side. Dr. Wood had let us know that they had completely weaned the meds out of her system and would be taking the tube out of her throat this afternoon to see how well her lungs could do on their own. So for the time being it was a waiting game. It was around lunch time when my father and mother ushered me out of Bella's room and told me they were taking me away for fresh air and lunch. I acquiesced with minimal fight only so Renee and Charlie could have some time.

We ended up at a small deli shop down the street from the hospital. I couldn't help but think as we took our places in the booth, that with the close proximity to the hospital how many other people in our exact position had come here just like us. Sat at this booth trying to down some sort of nourishment before returning to a room full of unsure feelings for a love one.

We quietly ordered our meals before a silence settled over the table. My darling mother, never one to just let things go, was the first to speak.

"We haven't had much time to really check in son. So your father and I just wanted to check in and see how you were holding up."

I leaned back into the corner of the booth and laid out one of my legs on the seat. My finger absentmindedly traced over the top of my water glass as I contemplated. How was I? How was I holding up?

"Well I guess I'm doing as well as can be expected. I'll feel better when her eyes are open and she says some snarky remark."

I looked up to see my parents faces in two tight lipped smiles at my attempt to keep it light.

"Well I think we all will son. But also with the other piece of news that hit you..."

I knew what piece of news my dad was hinting at and I wasn't sure if I could even talk about it. Other then when doctors had came in to check on the baby I had been holding on to my idea of talking to Bella about it first. The fact I didn't know where she stood on the issue made me somehow not even wanna think about it. I guess i was so lost on the idea. Hadn't it just been a week ago that I was thinking of the fact that I was excited over the idea of Bella and I having the whole family thing going for us? Now that it seemed to be, be dangling in front of me I was scared of jumping out to grasp it. Afraid that if I showed my previous excitement over the idea it would be yanked out of my grasp the minute Bella awoke. But if it meant I still had Bella with me did it matter? Of course I had to be realistic and question if even Bella would want me when she became alert.

"I don't even know what to think about it honestly, I haven't even truly allowed myself to think about the extent of that yet." I admitted.

"Is it because you don't think Bella plans to keep the baby?" My mother quietly spoke up.

My eyes jumped to hers at her question. I guess I hadn't really thought about the fact that others may think the same thoughts I had. I knew Rose and Alice had known since they were the only other ones who knew Bella was even pregnant.

"Yeah I guess...I really don't want to jump to any conclusions until Bella and I have time to talk about it." I hoped that was enough for them right now.

It seemed to be, as the subject turned back to other things after that. We finished our lunch shortly after and once my dad paid the bill we headed back to the hospital.

Once we got there Alice had a good report. She said the doctor had been in and said once we returned he would come down and go ahead and remove the tube. Once again we would just wait for Bella to make her return. I simply prayed it wouldn't be too much longer.

At two o'clock the doctor returned to let us know it was time for the tube. As much as I wanted to stay and show my support, I figured it would be best to leave this one for Charlie and Renee to be a part of. So I resigned to my perch on the couch of the waiting room and did just that. Waited.


BPOV

Pain.

Excruciating.

I felt like I couldn't breath. It felt like someone was scratching my throat from the inside out. Then just as quick as it came it was gone again. Then I was just left with a dull ache.

What the hell was that?

I wasn't sure how much time had passed but my haze seemed to be lifting just a bit at a time. Much too slow for my liking. I was beginning to feel my muscles more. I could feel them but still couldn't seem to move them yet. The sounds around me began to become clearer also. The voices weren't just fading in and out any more. When they came they stayed, and even when they were no voices I could still sense the people in the air. Charlie and Renee seemed to come around a lot with a little bit of all my other friends sprinkled in. The one who stayed the most though was Edward. I knew now I wasn't just imagining him. He was really here. With that knowledge I knew I needed to push. I needed to come back. I could hear beeps in between the voices and the silences.

Beep...Beep...Beep

So apparently I was in a hospital. OK that's good. Now I just needed to try to focus through the haze. I could try to do the finger thing again.

Ok Bells we can do this. Push it all to the pinky.

I felt like I was trying to push out the biggest poop of my life but instead of my ass it was trying to come out of my digits.

"Did you see that! Her pinky moved again I swear!"

"Hunny I know you really wanna see things but we just gotta wait"

Esme? Edward?

Beep...Beep...Beep...Beep

We can do this! Come on Bells.

The issue with pushing all my effort into this act was it took a lot out of me, so I wouldn't be able to try again for a while.

"I'm gonna go see if I can weasel your dad out for some dinner. Do you want me to bring you something back?"

"Uh yeah sure I'm just gonna hang out here."

I felt the air shift around me. Esme must have left the room. Not long after I felt weight around my hand. Then something brush against it.

Lips those are lips god I know those lips anywhere.

Edward had picked up my hand and was kissing it. God how much I missed that. Second to what came next. His voice.

"Isabella, I know no one believes me but I know your in there baby. I don't know if your trying to reach out or what but I'm here sweetheart. I'm not leaving you. I'll be here waiting." and then he kissed my hand again.

BeepBeep...BeepBeep...BeepBeep

With some rest I knew I could do this. I had to come back.


EPOV

She's there. I know she's there. No one believes me but I know shes trying to show me signs. After I talked to her, her heart monitor started beeping harder. She was there she was trying to communicate. Of course my mind went to the worse case scenarios. What if she can't communicate for some reason? Like what if she just cant talk or wake up or what ever.

Ugh I would feel so much better if she would just wake up

And so I sat there. and I talked to her. I told her of all the things that had been going on around here. When I ran out of stuff I began reciting poems I had memorized. Anything to let her know I was here for her. I stayed away from the one thing I really wanted to talk about. I couldn't bring myself to bring it up until I was looking into those pools of brown and she was talking back to me. After I ran out of stuff to talk about I laid my cheek to her bed and just stared at her in wonder. How I had found someone so strong and glorious in my life and all the things I would do to keep her.

I must have fallen asleep at one point in time I woke up to the beeping of Bella's heart monitor.

Beep...Beep...BeepBeep...BeepBeep...

I didn't even open my eyes but couldn't help the grin on my face at that sound. I took a deep breath at the relaxing noise I know knew was her way of communicating.

"I'm here baby. I'm not goin anywhere." I whispered to her.

I relaxed into the peaceful serenity of hearing that beeping.

"I know" A horse whisper floated from above my head.

I froze.

It was raspy as hell but I knew that was a voice of an angel.

My angel.

My head snapped up at the feeling of something in my hair.

Her Hand.

When my eyes looked up they immediately locked on to the pools of brown I had been desperate to see for the past three days.

My Bella.

She was awake. And she was smiling. At me.

"Hi"

One simple word from her lips and my world seemed to just fall into place.

And I cried.
