Edward POV:

That night was the worst night of my life. After crashing in the ICU Charlie and I never left her side. The nurses tried to get me to leave but Charlie told them to let me stay. Carlisle was sitting outside the room waiting if he was needed. Both of his patients were in the same room anyway.

Just as the sun was rising her heart beat started evening out and coming stronger. Carlisle came in and examined her.

Charlie looked at me. Didn't you bite her? Shouldn't her heart be weekening not getting stronger?

That's what I was wondering. "Carlisle?"

Carlisle looked at me and shrugged. "I have no theory yet as to why son. But I say roll with it right now. You gave her three times the amount of venom then I had to give any of you."

"Could I have given her too much?"

He shook his head. "If anything, it should have made the transformation go faster. I wonder why it's not working."

We three sat there and just listened to her heartbeat come steady.

"Well... This deffinatly put a downer on the mood eh Edward?" Charlie asked in a teasing tone.

Carlisle looked at us with a raised eyebrow in question. "Am I missing something?"

I narrowed my eyes at Charlie. "You have perfect timing Chief. Really."

"Oh come on, I was bored."

"So you had to call your daughter in the middle of the night?"

"Yup. Do I even want to know what you guys were doing?"

I grinned, showing my teeth, "Probably not seeing as how you are her father."

He narrowed his eyes at me. "Did you and Bella have sex last night?"

"Like I said Charlie, you have the most impecable timing. Nothing kills the mood quicker then a phone blaring the Cops theme song."

Carlisle covered his mouth to keep from laughing. "Shut up Carlisle."

Charlie smirked. "Then you are very welcome."

I sent a low growl his way before I laid my head down on the bed next to Bella. Wake up love, please.

"Edward, can you take Charlie to the cafeteria to get some breakfast. I am going to have the nurse come in and clean her up some." I nodded and stood up. "You going to stay here?"

He nodded. "She's not out of the woods yet."

I walked around to the other side of the bed and took the wheelchair handles. "Let's get you something to eat Charlie." He sighed but nodded.

"I'll have the nurse bring you your medicine to the cafeteria."

"Blah. Medicine."

We made our way out of ICU and we stopped in the doorway to the cafeteria. I smiled, my family was in there. They had grabbed a few tables and pulled them together. Mom already had a tray for Charlie, so I made our way to them.

She took the chair and handed me a thermos. "It has mountain lion blood in it." I nodded and took a sip as I sat down at the tabe.

"I am so sorry Edward! I didn't see it." Alice said as she hugged me tightly. I nodded. "The wolf blinded you. What did you see?"

"I saw you and Carlisle bent over Bella while Jasper and Emmett stood over the dead wolf."

I nodded again. "Thank you for your help Jasper, Emmett."

They nodded and placed an arm around their wives. "He shot our sister, and made to attack our brother."

Charlie looked at me, "Stupid stubborn sack of shit." He looked at Esme. "Sorry Esme."

She just shook her head and placed her hand on his shoulder. "If I had gotten there first, forget pulverising him, I would have just bitten him."

Everyone winced. "Isn't that fatal to a wolf?"

"Oh yes." She gave a small smile. "And it would be a very long and excruciatingly painful death."

Mom has a sadistic side to her. Who knew.

I turned to Jasper, "What have you and Emmett been doing all night?"

He gave a small chuckled. "We tore up all the carpet in the living room and replaced it with the type we had in storage. We also cleaned up the mess that was made. Alice and Rosalie decided instead of changing the sheets to just chunk the bed since blood had soaked into it and have ordered a new one. They also washed the bloody towels and clothes last night."

I gave a harsh laugh. "I honestly don't know if I will even want to step foot in that house for a while. All I see when I close my eyes is Bella being shot and bleeding out."

Esme nodded. "Carlisle and I were going to wait to give this to you at a later date but," she placed a key in my hand.

"Isn't this the key to the cotage at the edge of our propperty?"

She smiled and nodded. "We have been fixing it up for the past couple of weeks. It was going to be gifted to you and Bella when she joined the family but we decideded to go ahead and give it to you two." She winked at me, "Espicially after yesterday."

I would have blushed if I could. "Do you know how hard it is to focus when you have your mother yelling in your mind?"

She chuckled. "I have no idea what you are talking about sweetie."

"Uh huh. Sure you don't." I placedmy arm around her and kissed her cheek. "I love you mom. Sorry for losing my temper yesterday."

She hugged me tightly. "I love you too son, and I am sorry for that slap."

I chuckled. "I needed that. So thank you."

Charlie placed his hand on my shoulder, I looked at him and he smiled. "Don't look at me, I ain't gonna kiss your cheek."

I laughed and gave him a light shove. "Hey, injured cop here." He said as he wheeled outof the way.

"Pretty spry for an injured cop."

He smirked, "I do work out."

"Yeah, fishing."

He pouted, "Well most of us can't all have bodys of steel."

I laughed and he threw his apple at me. "Shut up. You ready to go back?" I nodded and stood up. Just then Alice gasped and I saw her vision.

Bella was awake and was sming at me. She was out of the ICU and in a room.

Alice smiled at me. "She will wake up in a four hours, twenty minutes and seven seconds."

Four hours twenty minutes later I heard her heart rate pick up and stood by the wall anxiously tapping my foot. Charlie looked at me and I nodded. Carlisle walked in and smiled.

Seven secinds later we heard her groan and my angel slowly opened her eyes.

What happened?

I smiled. Welcome back Love.

Bella POV:

The first thing I noticed as I started to wake up was that I was hurting and the beeping of the heart monitor. What happened?

Welcome back Love.

"Ed..ward..?" I opened my eyes and he was next to me holding my hand. "Welcome back Love. Next time you decide to die on me, could you possibly give me a heads up first?"

I tried to laugh but it hurt. Carlisle walked up next to Edward and smiled down at me. "You hurting Bella?"

"Just a smidge doc." I gasped out. He nodded and upped my morphine drip. "Dad?"

Edward smiled and back away so dad could wheel up to my side. "Why..chair?"

He chuckled and took my hand. "The good doc refuses to let me walk so that my lung can recover faster."

I nodded. "Love ya...dad.." I closed my eyes. The lights were bright.

"Are the lights hurting your eyes Bella?" Carlisle asked me. I gave a small nod and the lights quickly dimmed. I opened my eyes and sighed in relief. "Jacob?" I asked looking at Edward.

He clenched his fists, "Dead."

I sighed. "Okay."

"That's it?"

I looked at him and rolled my eyes. "He shot me infront of you. Dumb move."

He chuckled and took my hand. "Emmett and Jasper showed up and took care of him while I focused on you."

She smiled. "Thank you."

He nodded and leaned forward to kiss my forhead. I gave him a whimper and pout. Kiss?

He smiled. Of course. He bent down and kissed me. Then the heart monitor had to alert everyone that it skipped a beat. Edward and I glared at it. Carlisle chuckled, "Hold off on the kissing. At least until she is off the monitor." I stuck my tongue out at him.

He chuckled and kissed my forehead, "It'll only be for a couple of days. I want you to stay here at least till tomorrow. Then we will move you to a room."

"Does this mean that I am excused from the PE final?"

The three laughed and nodded. Dad slowly stood up from his chair and kissed my forhead. "Why were you even put in that class to begin with?"

"Because a certain doctor here refused to write a note excusing me for from classes for good."

"Why Bella,I have no idea what you are talking about?" Sure you don't Carlisle. Wipe that smug expression off your face.

"'Unless you are sick or have an injury Bella, I can not in good concious excuse you from classes.' Does getting shot count as an injury or a sickness?"

He chuckled. "I might just excuse you from school period. You were shot in the chest point blank range, it clipped your heart, you crashed about eight times, three before you even got to the hospital, and you were in a coma for ten hours. We'll see if you even go back to school."

Well., damn. "Okay. What do I do now?"

He held up a syringe, "You sleep and recover. Do I need to give you this sleep aide?"

I glared at him. Tell him he needs to work on his bedside manner.
