A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING! I ONLY OWN THIS PLOT! Thanks to my beta Elena Rain. Also just a side note in case you haven't noticed, I changed Jacob's character and he has a different role in the story. Please, if you haven't already, go back and read the previous chapter so you aren't confused. Enjoy this next chapter

The next morning Edward and Esme were just watching and waiting for Bella to wake up. Carlisle had gotten started his shift early.

"Do you think she'll be ok?" Edward asked.

"She's a fighter, I'm sure she'll be fine. Carlisle said her injuries were minor." Esme said softly.

"I mean mentally. She just lost her father less than a week ago and now she lost her mother. How is anyone going to survive something like that?"

"She has us, hopefully that will be enough."

"Why didn't she call me? Why didn't Alice see this coming?"

"Honey, I'm sure if, Bella was able to, she'd call you. You know there are some things Alice can't see."

Edward sighed. "I promise to always protect her and this is what happens."

"Edward, you can't blame yourself for this. It's not your fault."

Edward just sighed and shook her head. "When I find the monster that is responsible for hurting her I swear they're going to pay."

Esme just smiled softly. "Let's wait and here what Bella has to say before you going on a killing spree all right?"

Edward looked to Bella. Her eye lids were fluttering and he knew she was close to waking up. He pressed a small kiss to her nose.

"Morning, my Love, can you open those beautiful eyes for me?"

Bella's eyes fluttered opened and then closed, and opened again as she adjusted to the light. "E-Ed-Edward." She whispered softly.

"Hey, how are you feeling?"

"Wh-wh-where a-a-am I?" she asked weakly

"You're in the hospital, as for why I'm not really sure. No one does."

"Tri-tri-tripped u-u-up st-stairs." Bella muttered to herself.

Edward chuckled. "No, do you remember what happen last night?"

Suddenly all the memories returned. Bella squeezed her eyes shut and shook her head. Edward sighed. He didn't have to read her mind to know she was lying.

"Baby, it's ok if you do. You don't have to lie."

When Bella opened her eyes they were filled with unshed tears. "Wh-wh-where i-ism-m-m-m-m…"

"Baby, hey, shhh it's ok, just rest." Edward soothed.

"C-c-can't t-t-talk." Bella stuttered.

"You're still weak." Esme said gently. "I'm sure you'll be fine."

Just then the door opened. Carlisle walked in.

"Hey, Bella, how are you feeling?"

"She's having trouble speaking, Carlisle, when she tries to say something it comes out in sort of a stutter." Edward explained.

"Really? Hmmm, Bella, how much do you love Edward?" Carlisle asked.

Bella didn't answer. Carlisle smiled. "Should have known better than thinking I could trick you."

"I could always tickle her." Edward said.

"N-n-no d-d-don't ti-ti-tickle m-me." Bella said quickly..as fast as she could anyway.

Edward just smiled and kissed her head. "I promise, I won't tickle you."

"She's still weak, once she gets her strength back so will her speech." Carlisle said.

Edward nodded.

"How are you feeling, Bella? Are you in pain?" Carlisle asked.

She shook her head. "Wh-wh-wh-where i-i-i-i-i-is m-m-m-m-m-m-m…" Bella sighed as she failed at speaking again.

"She's really trying to ask something but she can't get it out." Edward said.

"I can see that, it sounds like the stuttering gets worse when she's talking about something that upsets her. She is asking about someone, that much I can gather, it's the who part I didn't get." Carlisle nodded.

"Who are you looking for?" Esme asked.

"M-m-m-m-m-m…" Bella stopped and tried again "m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m…" Bella stopped and started to pant a little, it was taking all her strength just to get out this one word. "M-m-m-m-m-m-m…" She stopped again. She threw her head back as tears filled her eyes.

"Baby, it's ok. Don't be sad." Edward cooed gently.

"Don't try and talk anymore, it's taking a lot out of you. I'm going to see if I can get a pad and pen, maybe that will help." Carlisle said.

He turned and left the room.

"How about this, we ask you questions and you can nod your head yes or no?" Esme asked,

Bella nodded.

"Ok, is the person you're looking for a female?" Esme asked.

Bella nodded.

"Ok, is she someone we all know?"

Bella nodded again.

"Is she in our family?"

Bella nodded.

"Alice?"

Bella shook her head.

"Rosalie?"

Bella shook her head.

Suddenly Edward figured it out. "Are you looking for your mother?" Edward asked.

She nodded. Esme sighed. "Bella, look, there is no easy way to say this…"

Bella shook her head as tears filled her eyes. "D-d-dr-dre-dreams." She stuttered out.

Esme sighed and shook her head. "It wasn't a bad dream. I'm sorry, your mother is gone."

Bella started to cry again. She had to tell the Cullen's about Phil, maybe they could stop him.

"V-v-v-v-v-v…" she stuttered out. She tried again. "V-v-v-v-v-v…v-v-v-v-v-v…v-v-v-v-v-v…"

"Bella, Bella, stop, stop, you're only making yourself weaker. It's ok." Edward said.

She shook her head. "V-v-v-v-v-va-va-va-…." She started to pant. It was taking so much out of her but she had to tell then. "Va-va-va-va-va-va…"

"Bella, Honey, just wait, Carlisle will be back in a minute." Esme told her.

She shook her head. She couldn't wait. "Va-va-va-va-va-va-va-va-…." Getting frustrated she threw her head back and started to pound her fits on the bed. "Va-va-va-va-va-va-va…"

Carlisle walked in with a small pad and pen.

"Carlisle she is trying desperately to say something and I can't get her to stop." Edward said. "I think she's sending herself into an attack or something."

Carlisle quickly went over to Bella "Here, I know it's the not the same but you need to write down what you're trying to say. Please, honey, if we're going to help you, you need to write it down."

Bella grabbed the pen and paper and started to write. She only wrote three words but it was enough.

Phil is a vampire!

"Bella, are you sure?" Carlisle asked.

Yes, he is pale white, his skin is ice cold, and he didn't have any dinner! HE DRANK FROM MY MOTHER AND KILLED HER!

"Why? What reason would he have to kill your mother?"

"He's a vampire, if he's a newborn it's possible he couldn't control himself." Edward said.

"Was he a newborn Bella?"

Bella shrugged. He seemed like he could control himself, I mean…he didn't kill me so that's a good thing…right?

"You're lucky to be alive, Bella, he drank from you to the point you passed out If he hadn't stopped when he did you would be dead right now. Plus with the amount of blood you lost from those scratches on your arm…"

Bella looked at her arm and sighed.

"Feel like telling us who did that to you? Was it Phil?"

Bella nodded and sighed

Before anyone could speak a nurse knocked on the door and peeked her head in.

"You have a visitor, may I send him back?"

Carlisle looked to Bella, she nodded. Who could it be? One of the other Cullen's most likely.

Carlisle looked back to the nurse. "Send him in."

The nurse nodded.

A few minutes Billy Black came rolling in. Bella gasped suddenly remembering Jacob.

"Bi-Bi-Bi-Billy, ho-how i-i-is Ja-Ja-Jake?"

"He's in rough shape, but that's why I'm here. He told me what happen. I was hoping we could work out a deal Dr. Cullen?" Billy asked.

"What kind?" Carlisle asked back.

"I'll tell you everything my son told me, save Bella the trouble, and you come help my son."

"I will help your son regardless of the information you have. But, it would be very helpful because of Bella's weak condition she having trouble speaking. So hearing what your son has to say would be helpful." Carlisle said.

"If it's ok, I'll explain on the way Jacob really needs your help."

Carlisle nodded. "Let's go."

They both quickly rushed out the door.

"So, Jacob was there, that would explain why Alice didn't see any of this." Esme said.

"H-h-he wa-wa-was jus-jus-just tr-tr-trying t-t-to pr-pr-protect u-u-us." Bella stuttered.

"He risked his life to try and save you and your mother?" Esme asked.

Bella nodded.

"Carlisle is going to help him. It's going to be fine." Esme smiled softly.

Bella just sighed and nodded hoping she was right.

"Get some sleep, you need your rest." Edward said softly stroking her hair.

"Will you wa-wake me wh-when Carlisle co-comes back?" she asked sleepily.

"Of course, we will."

Bella closed her eyes and smiled softly when Edward started to hum. She was out instantly.

She woke a few hours later to soft kisses on her face. She giggled softly. "Tha-that tick-tickles."

She heard Edward chuckled and smiled as she opened her eyes.

"How are you feeling?"

"Bet-better."

"You're speech is sounding better too." Edward kissed her forehead. "Carlisle is back, you told me to wake you so I did."

"Than-thank yo-you."

Just then the door opened and Carlisle walked in.

"Ja-Jake?"

"He's is going to be fine, with lots of rest and time he'll be fine. The worst is over, I gave him some morphine but his body will burn it off. I have to go back and set up a drip but he will be fine. He asked about you."

"Wha-what di-did yo-you te-tell hi-him?"

"That you were weak but healing nicely. He seemed relieved by that. He wanted me to tell you that he's sorry for everything and that if you never want to see him again he'd understand."

"H-he sav-saved m-me."

"I told him once you both got better you could talk it over but for now you both must rest."

Bella nodded.

"He told me what happen, Bella, I want you to know how sorry I am. I promise you, everything will be ok."

"Ho-how Phi-Phil i-is a va-va-va-va-…"

"Easy, Love, easy, shhh it's ok. We understand, don't stress yourself out by trying to talk." Edward soothed.

"Phil openly admitted what he was?" Carlisle asked.

Bella nodded.

"With any luck the Volturi are on their way here right now."

"Why? Esme asked.

"You know the rules. The three words that must never be spoken by a vampire. If any vampires says those three words the Volturi are alerted and they come to take care of the vampire who spoke those words."

"Wha-wha-what wor-words?"

"Telling any human what we are. That's why we never actually told you who we were, you managed to figure it out and we didn't deny it but we never told you."

Bella nodded in understanding.

"So, because Phil openly admitted to what he was he is now in trouble with the Volturi, which is a place you don't want to be."

"The-then wha-wha-what hap-hape-happens t-t-to m-me?"

"We will take care of you Bella. Don't worry about that."

Bella nodded softly and yawned.

"Go back to sleep, your body is still recovering, you need all the rest you can get." Carlisle said.

Bella didn't argue. She closed her eyes and was out like a light in just seconds.

Bella found herself back in her meadow. She was there with Edward, but she was also there with her mom and dad.

"Bella, we have great news." Renee said.

"What's that?" Bella asked.

"Your father and I are getting back together."

"That's great!" Bella smiled. She hugged her mother than her father. "I' m happy for you both that's great news."

"Congratulation, that's wonderful news." Edward said.

"Thanks, your advance really helped. Thank you so much, Edward." Charlie.

"You're welcome." Edward put his hand out.

"We're family now, we hug."

Bella smiled as her father and Edward hugged.

"Also, Bella, I have even better news for you." Renee said.

"What?"

"Well…in 9 months you're going to have a little baby brother or sister."

Bella's eyes went wide. "Mom, are you?"

Renee nodded. "Mom that's wonderful!" Bella squealed.

She hugged her mother tightly.

"Do you have any names in mind?"

"Actually, we were thinking of calling him Edward…if it's a boy of course."

Edward's eyes went wide. "Um…why after me?"

Bella giggled at how nervous he sounded.

"Because, you brought the light back into Bella's eyes, you made her smile again. You gave us our daughter back." Charlie said. "We will forever be grateful to you."

Edward smiled and nodded. "I love your daughter, I will do whatever it takes to make sure she is always happy."

"I know, I trust you." Charlie nodded.

"Thank you, Sir."

Bella smiled, things were perfect….well no life was perfect but hers was pretty close to it.

Suddenly her mom and started to fade and their voices started to become distant.

"Mom? Dad? What's going on?"

She looked next to her, Edward was starting to fade too. "Edward? What's going on? Where is everyone going?"

(A/N I DO NOT OWN THIS NEXT SCENE, IT'S FROM THE BREAKING DAWN MOVIE WITH MY OWN TWIST ADDED TO IT I DO NOT OWN IT IN ANYWAY)

Suddenly Bella opened her eyes and she was back in the hospital, it had all been just a dream. Tears slipped down her cheeks, none of what she had just seen was real and that was the problem.

"Bella," Edward's soft voice broke her from her thoughts. He softly stroked her hair and kissed her head. "Are you having a nightmare?" he asked softly.

"No…" she said softly. She looked up at him. She sniffed back more tears. "It was just a dream, a really good dream."

"Then, why are you crying?" he asked gently, as he wiped away her tears.

"Because…" she started as her voice cracked. "I wanted it to be real."

More tears slipped down her cheeks but Edward gently wiped them away. "Tell me, Love."

Bella sniffed once more trying to get the strength to say the next words. "They were alive." She choked out. "They were alive."

"Oh, Baby." Edward cooed.

"My mom was pregnant and she and my dad were getting back together. My dad loved you, you and him were like best friends. Everything in my life was perfect. Then I woke up and…it wasn't."

Edward sighed. "You're life will be perfect again, Bella. I promise you. I will do whatever I have to, to make sure you're happy again. Have you noticed your speech is back? That's a good sign. Thing are already starting to look up."

She just nodded and sighed. "Any news on Phil?"

"No, the Volturi are after him, Alice is watching Aro's thoughts so she knows once Phil is dead."

"Then what?"

"Carlisle, already has the paper he needs, once Phil is officially dead he will adopt you."

"Where is Carlisle, and Esme?"

"Esme, went to hunt. Carlisle is going to finish helping Jacob then he's going to hunt as well. I have specific instructions to keep you resting and in this bed."

Bella giggled. "I feel better, stronger."

"You look it and sound it."

"I love being able to speak again."

"I love hearing your voice again."

"I love you."

"I love you more."

"Nope, I love you more."

"I'm older, I've been able to love longer. Therefore I love you more."

"I'm…I'm…." She groaned. "I can't beat that!" she whined.

He chuckled. "Say it."

"Say what?"

"Say I win."

"You cheated."

"I didn't, say it."

"No, because you didn't win. You cheated."

"Fine, I'll have to make you say it."

He smirked and Bella eye's went side.

"Edward no, no, no!" She squealed, of course he didn't listen. His hands went to her sides tickling her up and down as she burst into giggles squirming to get away.

"Now are you going to say it?"

"Yes, yes," she giggled.

He stopped tickling and smirked.

"You win, Edward."

"Thank you."

They both giggled and they leaned in to share a kiss. They pulled back and Bella sighed resting her head on the pillow.

"I meant what I said Bella, I promise I'm going to make sure you're life is good again."

"I know, I believe you."

Edward leaned forward and kissed her forehead. He would make sure Bella was happy again, even if it meant killing Phil himself. He would do whatever it took to make sure Bella was always happy.

A/N I DO NOT OWN THAT NIGHTMARE SCENE! What's going to happen in the next chapter? Will Phil ever be caught? Will Carlisle be able to get custody of Bella? Will she and Jacob be friends again? Leave me your thoughts in a review.
