Hey everyone. How y'all doing? I'm excited because this story has reached 80 reviews so Thank you thank you thank you to all those who have reviewed. I would also like to say thank you for the follows and favs. I won't hold you up any longer because I know everyone wants to know what happened to Edward so with that being said, onto the story.
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms, grandmoms, aunts, and godmothers out there. :-)
SM owns Twilight, I just like dabbing with them.
Jasper:
"Shit. Ed. Wake up. Come on man." I said shaking Edward's shoulder. "Sam. Emmett. Get over here and help me move this shit. We have to get it off of Edward. Move it." I yelled.
"Fuck Edward. What the fuck happened?" Emmett yelled dropping to his knees.
"The side of the fucking building blew before he was completely off the ladder. Ben, call 911. Jacob, call the Chief and my dad. Tell them to get a clean up crew up here and to get this fucking fire out." I barked orders to whoever was standing close to me.
"Ed, come on man. Breath." Emmett said clearing starting to panic.
"Em. You need to calm down. Freaking out isn't going to help us right now. Did you check for a pulse?" I asked.
"Yeah I did. It was weak. I can't tell if he is breathing or not though." Emmett answered.
I leaned over and could tell that Edward was breathing but it was labored. We needed to get this shit off of him and quickly.
"Guys. We need to get this off of him like yesterday. Let's go. Sam take that end. Emmett, take the end next to you. Ben that end. I got this end." I said pointing to where I wanted everyone. "Everyone on me. In three, two, one, lift." It took us three tries before we were finally able to lift the ladder and part of the fucking wall off of Edward. I could hear sirens in the background. Thank fuck.
The chief, paramedics, the fire department, my dad, and Carlisle all showed up at the same fucking time. Christ, how do I explain to Carlisle what the fuck happened? Fuck, how do I explain it to my sister. I stood back and watched the paramedics access the damage done to Edward and whether it was safe to move him just yet. They put those oxygen tubes around his face to help get oxygen to his lungs. They put a brace on his neck just to be on the safe side since they didn't know if he had an injury to his neck. They used a backboard to left him onto the stretcher and then proceeded to strap him to said stretcher. Emmett and Carlisle walked with him to the ambulance and hopped in.
Ben took Aries to the emergency vet office to have his leg looked at with Zeus trailing behind them. He was always by his brother's side.
"What the fuck happened Jasper?" My dad asked looking pissed off pacing.
I stood there for the next ten minutes with my dad, Jacob, and Sam going over everything that had happened. We explained that we had a few guys in custody whom we needed to have a talk with. There were also a few bodies somewhere around here whom were dead. We had no idea where the truck came from nor where it went. I am hoping the cameras caught something because we still have no clue who these assholes worked for. Well we didn't know as of yet, but I have a feeling that would change when my sister hears what happened to her boyfriend or when Esme hears what happened to hears what happened to her son. Esme is old school Irish and I would never want to be on her bad side or her brothers. Deadly trio they are.
Emmett:
I hated this fucking waiting room. I swear it was like we were always fucking here. They just needed to give us our own fucking wing. I paced like a wild animal trapped in a cage because I couldn't sit still. I lost count with the amount of times I got a drink from the vending machine. Hell, my dad was no better., pacing in front of the window.
My baby brother was having god knows what done to him because I failed to protect him. I failed to get him off that ladder sooner. It was my fucking idea to go on the roof of the building. What am I going to tell my mother, my sister? Oh god, what the fuck am I going to tell Bella. She won't be able to handle this stress. I sat down with my head in my hands not giving a fuck who saw me crying. I can't lose my brother.
"Hush baby. You aren't going to lose Edward. He will beat this. He's stronger than you give him credit for." My Rosie said. When did she get here? "Oh honey. I just got here." She said wrapping her arms around me and I buried my face in her neck.
"Was I talking out loud?" I asked from her neck.
"Yeah baby, you were." Rosie hugged me some more. I wrapped my arms around her and just fucking cried. "It's okay baby. Let it out." She said rubbing my back.
"Have you heard anything yet?" I heard my mom ask my dad who had stopped pacing and wrapped his arms around her.
"No. They haven't been out here once since he was taken in the back and no one wants to give me a fucking update." My dad said quietly only to get louder at the end.
"Carlisle. Honey, please calm down before they throw you out of here." My mom said.
"They can try." Was his only words as he turned back to the window.
"Jasper. What happened?" Asked Alice and I stood up to take her in my arms and hugged her to me.
Jasper? When did he get here? I looked around and realized that just about everyone was here minus Ben.
My heart broke even more when I heard the one voice that I never wanted to hear break again. My Pinky. God, I loved that girl. She was perfect for Edward. She was already dealing with so much stress. This was so not good for her.
"Where is Edward Cullen? Oh don't give me that shit. You tell me what is going on with my boyfriend and you will do it now." Bella yelled at the nurse who looked so frightened that she was about to piss herself. I would have found that shit funny if it was under different circumstances.
I can understand the nurses cowering from her. Bella could be fucking crazy when pissed off. She would need to remain calm though for those babies. I was to busy focusing on Bella that I wasn't paying attention to the conversation she was having with a nurse until Rosalie and Jasper flanked Bella. Italians. I swear, they are lovable but fucking scary. I even back down to Rosalie and I am a six foot six, 230 pound guy who can kill a man with just my bare hands. I couldn't help but laugh at that in my head. I turned my attention to the nurses station.
Bella:
"I'm sorry Miss, but unless you are a family member, we can't tell you anything about Mr. Cullen."
"Look I get that but do you see all those people behind me? Do you? They are his parents and siblings. They need to know what the fuck is going on with their son and brother." I yelled at the nurse for the second time since I walked through the ER doors while pointing to my family behind me.
"Easy Bella. You don't want to get kicked out just yet." Rosalie said on my right side.
Jasper leaned into my left ear, "Yeah Bells, you can't kill her in front of all these people. To many witnesses." I turned to look at him and I had no choice to smirk. "Capisci?"
"Yeah I got it." I answered turning back to the nurse.
"I'm sorry but rules are rules." The nurse said dismissing me as if I was in school.
"You fucking fica. That is my boyfriend back there. The father of my unborn children." I screamed pointing to my stomach. "How the fuck can you be so fucking heartless?" I cried.
"Bells. Come on honey, sit down. The stress isn't good for the babies." Jacob said as he wrapped his arms around me and guided me to a chair near Emmett.
"Yeah it's not the nurse's fault that she doesn't know how to talk to people with emotion." Rose all but yelled glaring at the nurse.
"Fuck this. They will tell me something. I'm his fucking sister for crying out loud." Alice said storming over to the nurse's station with Jasper whom followed close behind her. "Excuse me." Alice waited for someone to acknowledge her but it seemed they were trying their damnedest to ignore her. "Yo, I know you can hear me. I said EXCUSE ME! Yes I see I have your attention now don't I? Here is my ID, so you can see that I am Edward Cullen's sister. Now who the fuck can tell me what is going on with my brother?"
"Look. You guys need to calm down. We will notify you when we learn about his condition. Okay?" Said the same nurse who wouldn't help Bella.
"Seriously? You can't tell me anything?" Alice cried.
"We have not received an update yet." The nurse said.
"You can't even tell me if he is still in the ER? Was he moved upstairs? Is he in the OR? You have nothing?" Alice wailed. "Come on there has to be something you can tell us?"
"Edward Cullen's family?" We heard from behind us.
"Fucking finally." Someone said behind me as we all rushed to the doctor that called for us.
"What is going on with my son? It seems your nursing staff over there don't know how to talk to people." Esme said pointing to the nurse who was still giving us the stink eye.
"Are you all here for Mr. Cullen?" The doctor asked clearly shocked by our large number.
"Yes we are. I would also like for it to go on record that should these three people inquire about my son's medical condition, that they be well informed." Carlisle said as he pointed to Rosalie, Jasper, and myself. "There is also a Charlie's Swan I would like to add to that list."
"Very well sir. Let's take a seat, shall we?" The doctor asked as he led us to a secluded area. "I am Dr. Mason and I am the one in charge of Mr. Cullen's case. Mr. Cullen has suffered a severe sprain to his lower back from the fall. The muscles in his back are inflamed as of right now and he will be given Naproxen to help with the swollen. He also has a Pneumothorax which in basic terms is a collapsed lung due to suffering from his right rib breaking and puncturing his lung. He is also on a ventilator to help him breath. He is being prepped for surgery at this very moment."
"Are you performing the surgery?" Asked Emmett. Rose wrapped her arm around his waist.
"Yes I will be." Dr. Mason answered.
"How long is the surgery and what exactly will you be doing?" Asked Esme wiping tears from her eyes.
"The procedure can take anywhere from two to six hours depending on the damage to said lung. I will be inserting a small plastic tube into Mr. Cullen's pleural cavity to help remove air. As the pressure on his lung decreases, his lung will re inflate." The doctor answered. "You are welcome to stay in the waiting room upstairs or head home. We can call you when he is out of surgery."
"Thank you but I am staying here. I don't want the hassle of driving back here when he is out of surgery. I want to know right away." Esme said and I agreed with her.
"No dear. You need to go home and rest." Esme insisted but I was not budging.
"No Esme. Edward stayed here every single day I was in the hospital after I was shot. He was there for every other visit I have made since then. I am staying." I answered. I finally let the tears out that I have been holding since my dad got the call that Edward was hurt. "I need to stay." We stared at each other for a good minute or two before she nodded and we looked back at everyone.
Dr. Mason took us to the fourth floor waiting room. He explained to the nurses there that Edward's parents gave him permission for me to be notified of his condition and when he comes out of surgery. The doctor told them that we would be waiting in the waiting room and that more people may show up. The nurses were told to just let us be.
We all gathered in that waiting room and stared at the TV that was on. I don't think we really talked much but we sure did focus on the employee only door hard. We would all jump when it would open but it didn't reveal Edward's doctor. My parents came in with food and lots of it. I was grateful for it. I didn't realize that I was actually really hungry. My parents stopped at a local sub shop that makes the best fucking subs around. My mom thought ahead and got a shit ton of pickles on the side for Rosalie and I. That was another weird craving we both were having. Thankfully, they didn't get anything with seafood. We all thanked them and dug in.
Emmett let me use his thigh as a pillow as he gently pulled me to lay down next to him with my sister on his other side. A nurses on this floor were actually nice and brought us all pillows and blankets seeing that most of us were staying the night. I wasn't sure how long I was asleep but it was light out when I woke up to hear a conversation in hushed tones. I sat up and looked around. Everyone either laying down or sitting somewhere sound asleep. I looked around for the hushed tones and found Esme talking to the doctor. I quickly got up and walked to them, clutching my side.
"Esme? What's wrong?" I asked.
Giving me a worried look as her eyes focused in on my hand. Esme asked, "Oh honey. Sorry if we woke you. Are you okay?"
"I'm okay, just got up to fast. Is Edward okay?"
"What? Oh yes. Dr. Mason was just telling me that they were able to get the tube in and that Edward is in recovery and should be moving to the ICU in the next hour or so." Esme answered. "Are you sure you are okay?"
I waved my hand in the air as if to brush her off. "Yes I am fine. Can we go to his room now and await his arrival?"
"You will be able to go to his room once he is moved. As I was explaining to Mrs. Cullen here, Mr. Cullen has a tube attached to his lung which is sticking out of the side of his chest. He is on anti inflammatory for the swelling in his back along with pain medication. We are keeping him sedated right now to help with recovery." Dr. Mason explained. "I encourage you to talk to him. He can hear everything around him even if he is sleeping."
I held my hand out to shake the doctor's hand which he accept. "Thank you Dr. Mason."
"Your welcome my dear. I will come and let you know when Mr. Cullen is moved." The doctor left after that.
Esme wrapped me in a hug. "Are you sure you are okay? You are holding your side tightly."
"I think I am okay. I thought I got up to fast. You now how you get a cramp in your side when you move to quickly?" I asked and she nodded her head. "Yeah that's what I had but it hasn't gone away."
She studied me for a minute then said, "Maybe it was from laying on your side to long?"
"Yeah could be." I nodded.
"Come sit." Esme said guiding me to an empty chair. "Do you want to call the doctor? Have her check you out?"
"No no. I'll wait. I promise I will call if it doesn't go away." I promised Esme.
Esme must have seen whatever she was looking for because she agreed. "Are you hungry dear? We could go down to the cafeteria."
"Yeah sure, let's go." I said standing back up and we went to the elevator.
My stomach did flip flops in the elevator but there was no way I would take the stairs. I felt like I would be sick with just the fucking smells in the cafeteria. They were so overwhelming. I grabbed a tray after Esme and walked down the line. I grabbed a bowl of mixed fruit, some yogurt, a bagel with cream cheese, and an apple juice. I felt those options would be safe since all the cooked food was making my stomach turn.
"Should we bring anything back for everyone else?" I asked.
"Yeah we can do that. Maybe they can deliver it up there if I pay for it now." Esme answered as we got to the cashier who of course had no problem with our request. We just had to get everyone's orders.
"I'll call Rose and see if everyone is awake." I said as we took our trays to a nearby tables. I took my bagel over to the toaster and popped it in there to get it lightly toasted. I grabbed a knife and fork and some napkins while I waited for it to pop. Pulling out my phone, I scrolled down to Rose's name and hit the call button.
"Bells. It's too early for you to be calling." Rose grunted into the phone.
"Yeah yeah. Listen, Esme and I are downstairs at the cafeteria. Do you want anything?" I asked.
"Actually yeah I do. Let me see if Emmett wants anything when he comes back from the bathroom." Rose answered.
I grabbed my bagel, knife, fork, and napkins and headed back to the table where Esme was. "Okay. Is Alice or Jasper awake yet?"
"Yeah they just woke up. I'll ask them. I'll text ya what everyone one wants. Sound good?" Rose yawned into the phone.
"Yeah Rose. Sounds good. We will order and pay for it and someone from the kitchen will deliver it to you guys." I said before hanging up.
"Everyone awake now?" Asked Esme.
I put the cream cheese on my bagel and took a bit. Swallowing I answered. "Yeah. Rose is going to send me a text with what everyone wants. I want that toaster over there." I laughed. "It toasted this perfectly."
Esme laughed and bit into her egg sandwich. "You know I saw the gift shop on our way down. Did you see it?"
"Yeah. It had a cute teddy bear I was thinking of getting Edward." I replied.
"Oh let's stop in on our way back. Yeah?" Esme asked, her eyes lighting up with the idea.
"Yes let's." I smiled at her. We continued eating and chatting about nothing of importance at first.
"So did you and Edward start looking for a place yet?" Esme asked and I knew it was an innocent question but that didn't stop the tears from starting to form. "Oh honey. I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything by it."
I wiped my eyes and said, "I know. It's just my damned hormones are all out of whack. We talked about what we were going to look for in a house but we haven't actually looked yet. We didn't even talk about how much we wanted to pay either."
"It's okay sweetie. The price isn't an issue. Maybe you can tell me what it is that you are looking for and I could help find something to look at for when Edward gets out of this place? I know people in the real estate business. It's how I get most of my interior design business." Esme said giving me a small smile.
"That would be nice. We, uh, were thinking of something with preferably four bedrooms, big kitchen since we both like to cook. Um, two bathrooms, and a nice backyard. Two story is okay. We don't necessarily need an attic or basement though as long as we have a shed in the backyard. Oh, but we will need a garage." I said. "Maybe with an office." I shrugged.
Esme laughed. "I see you have been discussing it. That sounds like a nice idea. I will call my friend and see what she may have on the market but we will wait to look at it until Edward gets out of here." I agreed.
I checked my phone to see that I had a message from Rosalie. We finished up our meal and went to order everyone else's. We brought drinks to take upstairs with us. Of course we stopped at the gift store on our way back. I went right for the teddy bear. It was a light brown bear with a tan face. It was wearing a light blue hospital gown that opened in the back so it's tail is sticking out. The front of the gown says "Get Well Soon". I think he will like it. I don't know why but I found it so fucking cute and Esme agreed. I walked around the store and grabbed myself some candy to snack on along with a puzzle book. I found Esme over in the baby section.
"Find anything you like?" I asked. I scared her by accident. "Oh Esme, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."
"It's okay. I was looking but not really seeing it. I was lost in my own head." She answered.
"These are cute." I said looking at a pair of baby's zipped sleep suit. They had ones that said "Mommy's Little Angel" in both blue and pink and one that said "Daddy's Girl and Daddy's Princess" along with "Daddy's little man". They were so cute. I would have totally gotten them if I knew what sex the twins were but it was still to early to find out.
"Oh, aren't they just darling. I am so getting them." Esme said grabbing a couple of all of them plus grabbing a daddy's little man in a bigger size for Leo.
"Esme." I screeched. "What are you doing?"
"I'm shopping Bella. What's it look like?" She asked.
"Why get them now? We don't know the sexes." I said.
Esme studied me for a few minutes then spoke, shocking me. "Oh I know. You will have a boy and girl. Rosalie will have a little girl."
"What? You can't possibly know that." I stated.
She laughed arching her eyebrow. "Of course I can." She walked to the counter to pay for her stuff. I followed behind her taking out my wallet but of course Esme wasn't having that and took my stuff and added it with hers. I refused but she insisted.
We headed to the elevators and back upstairs with our bags. Everyone was eating by the time we go upstairs. The doctor still hadn't come back to tell us if Edward was moved yet. I saw my mom came. She handed me my black travel bag. I stared at her in shock.
"Oh don't give me that look, tesoro. I knew you wouldn't leave this place without Edward so I packed you some clothes. I also brought you a pillow, blanket, and your backpack. There are in the bag in the corner. Now, don't be mad, but I noticed some of your clothes were getting tight, so I went and brought you some new ones that will help around your stomach area." My mom said.
"Grazie mom. I'm not mad. I'm really thankful. Really. Thank you. I've been meaning to get new pants but just haven't had the time to do so. Please tell me that you packed my toothbrush?" I asked smiling.
My mom smiled and hugged me. "Of course I did. I packed all your toiletries including your prenatal vitamins."
I hugged her back whispering, "Thank goodness. I forgot them."
"Mrs. Cullen and Ms. Swan?" I heard from the doorway. I spun to face the doctor.
"Dr. Mason. How is Edward?" I asked hoping to hear good news.
"Mr. Cullen is is stable condition now. He has been moved to room 403 and you all are welcome to visit him but I would like that no more than four at a time for right now. He is still connected to the ventilator with the tube in his chest. We ran a few more tests and luckily, his legs will be just fine after the swelling in his back goes down. We have him medically sedated to help him heal. Please don't be alarmed when you see him, he has a lot of visual bruising on his face, neck, and arms. He also has bruising on the rest of his body but those are hidden by the gown and sheet. I must ask that you try to keep the noise level in his room down as the walls are thin and there are other patients on either side of his room."
"Thank you Dr. Mason." We all said together.
"Ms. Swan. Could I speak with you and Mrs. Cullen?" The doctor asked.
I looked to Esme who took my hand and walked us over to him. "Everything okay?" She asked.
"Yes ma'am. I just wanted to let you know that Mr. Cullen is in a rather big room so it is possible to have a cot in there should one of you like to stay overnight. You just have to make sure that you get an overnight pass from the nurses station. They may even be able to fit two cots in the room as long as they can get to all his equipment." The doctor told us smiling warmly at us.
"Really? Oh my. Thank you so much." I squealed. Everyone laughed at me.
"Thank you very much Doctor." Esme said more calmly then me. He nodded his head and walked away as we turned back to our family.
It was agreed that Edward's parents and siblings would go see him first. I mean, it was only right, right? I was just the girlfriend and the woman who was carrying his babies. No biggie, right? Wrong. I was a nervous wreck. Thankfully Rosalie's snooping ass distracted me, sort of.
"Hey. Get the fuck out of those bags woman. They aren't yours." I laughed when she gave me the finger.
"I know they aren't but I see baby stuff and well curiosity got the best of me." She said shrugging.
I gave her a pointed look and said, "I'm sure if Esme wanted you to know what was in the bag, she would have showed you herself. Get out of those bags."
"Oh you know what's in there, don't ya?" Rose asked smirking.
"I do but I don't know what is for whom. So just get the hell out of it. Yeah?"
"I'm so telling on you." Laughed Alice from the doorway.
I jumped up and ran over to her. "How is he? How does he look? Can I see him now?"
"Whoa honey, calm down. The doctor wasn't' kidding. Edward is all beat to hell. He seems to be having good dreams because he will smile once in a while." Alice said with tears in her eyes.
"He will beat this shit Ali. He's a tough fucker." I huffed suddenly pissed at his recklessness.
Alice laughed. "You can yell at him when he wakes up."
I laughed with her. "Trust me, I planned to. I'm just going to head to his room."
I mentally prepared myself of seeing him as I walked to his room. Me being me wasn't paying attention to where I was going as I had just walked right into a wall or what I had assumed was a wall which turned out to be Emmett.
"Hey Curly. You okay?" I asked. Seeing Emmett upset and crying was breaking my heart. I loved the big oaf and yeah so it hurt to see him this upset.
"Jesus Pinky. Are you okay? You have to pay attention with where you are walking. Can't have you hurting my nephews in there." Emmett said rubbing my belly.
"I'm okay. Nephews? Where are you going?" I asked.
Emmett looked down at his feet and dropped his hand from my belly. "I, uh, needed a minute."
I tugged at his arm and pulled him over to a chair. "Em, honey, talk to me. What's going on?"
"I can't lose my brother Bella. I just can't." Emmett whispered. I wrapped my arms around him and laid his head on my shoulder. I felt the sobs leave is body and I nearly broke down.
"Honey, you aren't going to lose him. Edward is tough and he will come out of this. He has to much to live for right now and there is no way he would leave us." I whispered to him while we sat there. "What else is bothering you?"
"It's my fucking fault he's in there." Emmett mumbled and pulled away from me.
"What do you mean?"
"It was my fucking idea to go to the roof. I thought we could see everything from there. He never questioned me. I never seen the asshole shooting from the truck. We didn't know know anything happened until the rumble that went through the building. Edward realized what was happening and sent us to the ladder. He sent us all down first and then he was coming down but something blew up and it caused the wall to blast out and that's when he fell. He might die because of a stupid idea I had." Emmett got out before unloading more tears.
"No." I said standing up which got Emmett's attention.
"What?"
"I said no. He went onto that roof with you because he thought it was a good idea. He made all of you get off that roof before himself so make sure you all were safe. It's not his fault and it's not your fault. The fault belongs to the assholes who attacked and we will find out who they were. You got me?" I asked.
"Yeah VP. I got it." Emmett said with a sad smile.
"You do well to remember it. Remember your grief, your anger because when the time comes, you will need to use it." I grunted as I hugged him.
"Yes ma'am." He replied as he hugged me back.
"Are you okay now?" I asked.
"Yeah Pinky. I think I am. Thanks."
"Anytime." I smiled at up at him. "Now I am going to go see my boyfriend."
I walked into his room expecting to his my man worse than he actually looked. Yes he had tubes and iv's sticking out of him and yes he had a lot of bruising but he was still my Edward. He was just beat the fuck up. Carlisle put a chair next to his bed for me to sit down and that is what I did. I sat down and took his hand bring it up to my lips. I used my other hand to push the hair out of his face. I made a mental note that he needed a haircut and I should get a towel and wipe his face down which I ended up doing gently.
I stayed at the hospital every night. I used the shower in his room to shower and get ready each day. Someone always brought me food and snacks. I only left long enough to run down to the cafeteria or my doctors appointment. Oh and of course school. It was getting close to Thanksgiving so all major projects would be due soon. The concert was also close but I wasn't going to make it so I gave the tickets to Jasper and Alice and told them to have a good night. Jasper swore he would pay Edward back for the tickets. I made sure that Edward's phone was charged everyday. I was afraid that he would wake up while I was in class.
It was now Thanksgiving morning and Edward still hadn't woken up. The doctor took him off the sedation medicine and the ventilator because he could breath on his own but Edward's still didn't wake. The doctor said that he would wake when he was ready and that I should still talk to him. So that is what I did almost all day long everyday. Everyone took turns coming in to see him and talk to him, even Leo who was learning to give hugs and kisses. I snapped a cute picture of Jasper holding Leo close to Edward's head and Leo planting a sloppy kiss to Edward's forehead.
It was then that I noticed Edward's hand twitch and his head rolled to the side where Leo was still hovering in the air laughing at his daddy. I put my phone down and took Edward's hand bringing it to my lips to kiss. I felt him squeeze my hand.
"Edward, honey if you can hear me, squeeze my hand." I whispered. I had the biggest shit eating grin on my face when he squeezed my hand. "Holy fuck.: I squealed which caught everyone's attention.
"What's wrong?" "What happened?" "Someone get the doctor in here." Everyone said over each other.
"Edward just responded to me. I swear." I said and squealed again when he squeezed my hand again and turned his head in the direction of my voice. "Oh Bellissimo. I'm right here baby."
"Take your time Ed. We are all here when you are ready to wake up." Alice said kissing his head.
I think that was all he could do right now because he soon stopped squeezing my hand which I was okay with because it showed me that my Edward was still in there. The nurses were nice enough to let all of us in his room at once just for Thanksgiving. It was just immediate family which was just fine with us. We all sat around and ate. We told past holiday stories and embarrassed each other. We spoke of baby names and nursery themes. Everybody took turns on betting what the sexes were of Rose's and my babies but it was the voice to my right that I heard above everyone else's.
"One of each. Boy first then girl." Everyone turned in the same direction. We all saw the most beautiful emerald green eyes on the planet.
"Edward." We all yelled together.
Thanksgiving miracles. Hope y'all enjoyed. :-)
