Dear Miss Swan.
Chapter 36
"I'm nervous, baby" not only am I meeting her mother for the very first time, but I'm meeting a terminally ill woman. I've never even spoken to someone who is that sick.
"Edward she's in so much pain that her medication makes her so sleepy. She basically sleeps almost all day and night. She probably won't even know we're there" her voice cracks as she speaks, and I reach across the console to hold her hand. My poor baby.
"I'm so sorry, sweetheart. I shouldn't be thinking about me, again. I should be thinking about you"
"No" she sighs, leaning across to kiss my cheek. "For just a moment I felt like a normal couple going to meet my parents, just what everybody else does."
"We are a normal couple. And I'm going to dazzle your mother, whether she be awake or asleep." She giggles and somewhat relaxes. But how do you really make someone feel better knowing there mother could die any day.
"I got a call yesterday, from the hospice."
"Oh? What did they say?" she never mentioned anything but I had notice she'd been quite all night.
"They said…they said that she's took a turn for the worse. They don't think it'll be long now"
"Oh baby" I pull her as close as possible whilst still driving "I'm so sorry. Why didn't you tell me last night?"
"I wanted to just…I don't know, I just wanted to forget. You'd cooked a beautiful meal, and I wasn't feeling so great. I just wanted to be with you, and forget"
"Oh sweetheart, I'll look after you"
"I think it might be this weekend, Edward"
"Bella, please don't talk like that"
"No, I really do think it'll be this weekend. Or at least I hope it is. Not because I want her to die, but rather I want to be there with her, so she's not alone. And then you'll be here with me, so I'm not alone"
"Baby, I'll always be here for you"
a/n: a rather sad one but it was always coming…last one for tonight. See ya tomorrow ;)
