Telling Bella

(Bella POV)

I looked into the eyes of the man that I loved and saw an anguish that I had never seen before. I was so confused and then I was so worried.

"We are still waiting for some more test results love." He said and his face looked as though he was passive but his eyes gave him away. He took his hand and gently stroked my hair with it. He kissed my forehead and closed his eyes and I reveled in his scent. It calmed me and I let the questioning go.

"How are you feeling Bella?" Alice asked me eagerly while taking a few steps to my other side and holding my free hand.

"I'm feeling ok. Really tired though, and very confused. Where's Charlie? How did the procedure go?" I started in on my interrogation again now that I didn't have Edwards scent overpowering my senses anymore.

"Charlie will be here shortly, he went back to the office to take care of some things. And I think that the only person that can really tell you what is going on is Carlisle. I'll go get him and call Charlie." I could tell that she wanted to get out of the room for reasons I didn't know. But I was sure I would soon enough. She kissed my cheeks and glided from my side and out the door. I looked over at Edward to see that same face that he had on before, passive but his eyes showing sorrow. He knew something I didn't, and I was afraid of what he may know.

"Its bad isn't it Edward?" I blurted out without really thinking.

He just looked at me, strong willed to make his self-look more compelled to smile then break down and start sobbing.

"How ever bad it is we will get through it. No matter what, I love you." His voice was so sure that I believed every word. He got under my covers with me and held me close. He kissed my forehead and my nose while humming my lullaby.

"Sleep Bella. You need to get better." He tried to sooth me into unconsciousness.

"No Edward, I don't want to sleep. I want to stay awake with you. Besides, Alice will be bringing Carlisle and Charlie in soon. I want my questions answered." I looked at his eyes and saw that I had won, which was a surprise. He's usually much more stubborn.

He continued to sing my lullaby and soon he had closed his eyes and was rubbing his nose against my neck. I closed my eyes but was not tired in the least. With Edward so close and him touching me the way he was, I don't think I could have slept if I had taken five sleeping pills.

After awhile Carlisle and Charlie came in flanked by all of the Cullens, each with worry on there beautiful faces. Obviously they all knew something that I didn't, but I didn't have to wonder much longer.

"Bella, has Edward told you anything about what we found?" Carlisle asked me as he walked across the room and took my hand. Charlie came to the foot of my bed looking three shades paler then his usual self, the rest of the Cullens surrounding the bed. Alice was right behind where Edward now stood, with Jasper's arm around her waist. Esme was beside Charlie and her usually very kind caring warm face was some how very sad and worried. Emmett stood to the other side of Charlie holding Rosalie's hand. Not to my shock, Rosalie was the only person who looked like usual. All she did was glare at me, but I was used to it by now and thought nothing of it.

"No, Edward hasn't told me anything. What is going on Carlisle? What is wrong with me?" I realized that as I was speaking my voice was getting more and more strained. I looked at my hands and realized that I had been shaking. I had no idea what was going on. "Carlisle, why am I shaking?"

"It's the pain medication you are under." He sighed then and paused obviously to figure out what to say next. "We did the procedure, and what we found was not good." He looked towards Edward and looked down at his feet and ran a hand through his blond hair. "Bella, I'm afraid that you have a severe case of stomach cancer. It has spread to you kidneys and is attacking the lymph nodes of your stomach lining. We still need to do some more tests but we think that the cancer may have spread even farther then that." He said all this very quickly; it was very hard for me to keep up with everything he was saying.

I sat there for a moment just staring at everyone's faces. Carlisle looked worried that I would feint probably. Everyone else held that same worried expression as they had when they walked in. It took awhile for it all to set in. But I knew that Edward would not let anything happen to me. I then looked at Edward, and stared into his eyes. I could tell that he was here with me to fight this, and it made me stronger. It was easier then I thought it would be for me to accept what was happening. But I did and I knew that I had to get through this; for me, for Edward, for Charlie, for everyone that depended on me.

"Ok, what are our options?" I asked Carlisle in a cool tone, never taking my eyes away from Edward. He suddenly tightened on my hand letting me know how much he was there for me.

"We wont know for sure until after we finish the biopsy that we took from your stomach lining. It will let us know how dominant the cancer is and what we can do to stop it. But Bella," Carlisle looked weary as to what he would say next, "Things don't look good."

"Well, we will get through this, I know it." I said this mostly to Edward and smiled.

Right now things stood as follows:

I knew what was wrong with me, I had cancer, and things didn't look good.

And Edward, my beautiful Edward, would be with me the whole time; we would fight this together.
