Hey guys! Sorry for the long wait! Blame it on my teachers who think 6 hours a day isn't enough and find the need to give me homework too. I have a life!

I hope you all enjoy this chapter!

Thank you for all your amazing reviews! I love you!:)

"Edward, quit pacing. Everything's going to be fine" Alice scolds me lightly again for what must have been the twenty second time.

"That doesn't stop me from worrying, Alice" I almost hiss, and pull at my hair before I look at her pained face.

I frown, it's not her fault, she's only trying to help Edward, I tell myself, "I'm sorry Alice, I didn't mean-"

She smiles softly, "It's okay Edward, I understand. We're worried too you know".

I scold myself inwardly again, stop being so selfish. I'm not the only one worried about Bella.

Bella.

My Bella.

Having surgery.

To save her mother's life.

Surgery.

I tell myself that Bella's going to be perfectly fine, and the likelihood is that she will be, according to Alice's visions.

But there was a part of me, that was worried. That was terrified. That was horrified, horrified that there was a chance, however insignificant it was, that I would never see Bella alive again.

And that part was growing and growing every second I was away from her.

The plan was ready. It was planned out perfectly, planned down to a 'T' that if Bella did not make it, I would follow soon after her.

I wouldn't live in a world where Bella was not. I couldn't live in a world where Bella didn't exist, I'd already said it. I had already proved it.

The imagined pictures flashed through my brain, like clockwork, one after another. And yes they were imagined, but they were still there. Still reminding me of the unthinkable possibilities.

And I hadn't dared think of them, in fear of going crazy.

At least I had I tried not too.

What would I do if she never woke up? If my beautiful angel never whispered my name again? If we never got the chance to say 'I do'?

Then I would follow her.

As I drowned in my thoughts, and was barely noticing anything that was going on around me, Alice's scream at me through her mind got my full attention.

"Edward!" she screeches, at I look up.

A nurse has entered the room, and everyone of us looks up. Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rose, Esme, Charlie, Phil and I, waiting hopelessly for the news on our loved ones.

"The transplant was extremely successful, and it looks like Renee will make a full recovery. She should be back on the ward within a matter of minutes, and er, um, it should take her a little while to wake".

She was delaying it. She was trying to buy as much time as she could before she told me about Bella.

Alice gasped, and wailed "No! Not Bella!"

My eyes flashed to the nurse, and Rosalie and Emmett was helping me to stand.

"No!" I roar, "No! She's my Bella, she's got to be okay. No!"

"I'm sorry" she whispers, and I realise we neither had let her speak and I had not even looked into Alice's mind as she was blocking her thoughts, "But Bella has suffered from some bleeding, and right now the surgeons are doing everything they can to save her. I'm sorry".

She then leaves the room.

I scream.

(Carlisle's POV).

I stood observing the procedure.

My mind was blank, calm, reserved.

Because on the minor risk of anything happening, I would not be able to help out if I had thoughts of a dead Bella and a broken family swarming my mind. A dead daughter, a destroyed family and a dying, broken son.

Everything was going well, according to plan. Renee was beginning to be closed, and the same with Bella.

I was about to leave the room to inform my family on the good news when a heart faltered.

Bella's heart.

The surgeon cried, "BP's dropping. We're losing her! There must be a bleed somewhere. Get the adreniline in her!"

I raced through the prep room and quickly sterlised my hands and put on the right scrubs.

I burst through the door and hurried to Bella's side.

The surgeon's were performing CPR and trying to stop the bleeding.

I took over, and was trying to drain the over-flowing blood and to find the bleed.

"Come on Bella! Don't do this to us! Fight it!"

"Everyone stand back! Charging 3-60!" the man cried, and placed the panels to Bella's chest.

She rose off the table and then lay flat, still and motionless on the operating table.

(Emmett's POV)

"I'm sorry, but Bella has suffered from some bleeding, and right now the surgeons are doing everything they can to save her. I'm sorry" the nurse whispered and then swiftly left the room.

I hated how they did that, I'd seen it plenty of times on TV, when the nurse comes in, delivers the news and then leaves, letting a family crumble due to their words.

But now I had experienced the situation, with my baby sisters news, I understood why they left in such a hurry.

Because I wanted to throw something at her for breaking my family.

Edward screams and it scared me. Because he never lost it like this, he was always calm and controlled, it had only been a handful of times I'd seen his lose control, most of which included Bella.

I nod to Rose, who was helping me hold Edward on his feet, and she leaves him.

I walk out of the room with him, Edward just dragging his feet, and take him outside. I sit him on a bench and let him collect himself before I say anything.

I take out my phone and call Alice.

"Hello?"

"Alice, are you getting anything?"

She gasps softly, "No, its blank, I can't see nothing. I'm sorry Emmett".

"It's okay, just keep trying yeah?"

"I will, bye Emm".

She hangs up and I place the phone back in my pocket.

I place my hand on Edward's shoulder and watch as he barely moves from having his head in his hands.

I wish I could just crack a joke and everything would be okay. Usually they worked. Bella loved them, everyone did, even Edward laughed.

But not now.

Now wasn't the time for stupid jokes, or innuendo's about Edward and Bella, or silly pranks, because my baby sister was dying.

And we were powerless to stop anything.

Not even Alice could see anything. We couldn't prepare Edward for the worst, any of us for the worst.

And it's terrifying.

"I wish I could say something to ya man, but I have no idea what to say".

"That she's alive?" he suggests hopefully, but we both know I can't.

"I can't say that, but I can tell you that Bella's a fighter, we all know that. She's not going down with out a fight".

I thought about Carlisle changing her now. Waiting wasn't a possibility anymore. But she couldn't be changed if there was no blood to circulate the venom.

I wanted to be sick.

"Emmett, please, don't" Edward struggles to get the words out. Damn, mind reader.

"I'm sorry, its hard not to think about it".

Be strong Emmett.

"Thank you" Edward whispers, oh great, he likes hearing that.

I'm sure I saw a flicker of a smile on his face then.

"Come on, let's get back, they might have some more news".

He nods, and follows.

Come on Bella, you can do this. Fight it. Or God help you cause I'll beat your ass if you don't.

(Edward's POV)

Carlisle entered the room half an hour after the nurse had informed us of the news. Renee had even been brought back to the room, without Bella.

He looked exhausted.

I rose from my place on the floor and crossed the room and he hugged me.

"Tell me she's alive Carlisle. Tell me my Bella's alive. Alice's visions are getting nothing. Please, Carlisle, please" I whisper, the path of our lives were going to be determined by his answer.

His whispers back at me, "She's going to be fine, son" and then louder so everyone can hear, "Bella's going to be okay!"

I sigh with happiness and relief, and the atomostphere in the room changes from heart-ache to joy.

I look expectantly at him and Carlisle smiles, "Bella's just being cleaned up, she won't be long".

Alice suddenly world-winds towards me, "Edward! Didn't I tell you? Always believe me!"

She had to be careful of her choice of words as there were humans in the room.

I laugh and hug her, "Yes, yes you did Alice".

Emmett cheers, and with a laughing and smiling Rosalie on his arm he says, "Group hug, everyone?"

I grin, and joined in with the large hug, my Bella was alive.

(Bella's POV)

My bedroom smelt funny.

I smelt too clean, too pristine, too sterile.

And where was Edward?

This couldn't be my room.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

What happened to my alarm clock? The last time I checked, Alice had changed the song to make it cry every morning 'Barbie Girl'.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

What was that stupid, annoying beeping?

And where was Edward? Wait? Hadn't I said that once?

I open my eyes, and was met with…..white.

"Edward?" I call, and my voice was croaky. Jeez, what exactly had I done last night?

Suddenly his tuff of bronze unruly hair pops up in front of me.

"Hey" he smiles and I feel weak.

And why did the beeping noise speed up dramatically? And why was the whole Cullen family, Charlie, Phil and Renee(who was lying in a bed) standing around me laughing?

Then it clicked. Clean. Sterile. White. Bed.

What accident had I gotten myself into this time?

I groan, "So what is it? Fallen off a curb or tripped over thin air?"

Edward chuckles, but his face holds concern, "No. Don't you remember love?"

"Remember what, Edward?" I asked confused, he was worrying me now. I looked to my left and Mom was lying in a white bed, smiling at me, but looking quite ill.

Then, for the second time, it hit me.

"Mom!" I cry.

How could I wake up and just forget she had been dying and I had donated part of my liver to her?

I shot up in the hospital bed and groaned.

My stomach killed.

Edward placed his hands on my shoulders and lightly lay me back down onto the fluffy pillows.

"Mom? Are you okay? What happened? Are you going to be fine?" I ask, my wide eyes fixed on her pale but happy face.

She smiles, "Yes baby, I'm gonna be fine. The surgery went well, for me at least sweetie. Do you know what happened to you?"

My confused eyes flashed to Edward, in hope of him telling me what happened, considering his face held hurt and pain.

"I-"

Suddenly, a nurse popped into the room, "Come on Renee, I promised you'd be awake for your daughter to wake, but now you need to rest".

Mom sighs, "Fine, dose me up".

The nurse clicks a few buttons on Mom's monitor and then she leaves the room.

"We're going to go and get some fresh air, we'll be back soon" Carlisle smiles softly, and after a few kisses and hugs, everyone leaves until its only Edward, a sleeping Mom and me.

"Edward? Why did everyone look relieved when I opened my eyes? What happened in there?"

He makes a noise which is a cross between a cry of pain and a groan, and pinches the bridge of his nose.

"Edward, please?"

He mouth twitches up on each corner, he knew what I was doing. He couldn't resist my 'please's'.

"Everything was going fine in surgery, you were ready to be stitched up when you started bleeding. Carlisle took over, but even he struggled with finding the bleed. Your heart, it stopped once. Carlisle found the bleed, and patched you up. Your gonna be fine. Gosh Bella, I thought I was going to lose you. There was a point where I thought I would".

Edward's looking down, avoiding eye contact, avoiding showing me how much he hurt. Because somehow, he thought he always had to be strong for me, when he didn't.

Because at the times when he wasn't at his strongest, I would be there to hold and to comfort him, and to build him up to his best.

Because Edward is my angel and I will not let him fall.

"It's okay" I whisper, "I'm not that easy to get rid of".

He smiles, but its twisted, if he could cry, I know he would be. He pulls me close, almost ignoring the fact that I'd just had surgery and buries his head in my shoulder.

Edward moves from the plastic chair and climbs up to lay beside me, breathing deeply into my neck.

I carefully dodge the awkward wires and wrap my arms around him, running my hand through his wild bronze locks.

"You don't always have to be strong for me, it's okay to show weakness Edward" I mumble softly, and I know he hears me because he whimpers, and pulls me closer.

"Sssh, it's okay, I'm here. Everythings going to be fine. I'm not going nowhere".

It was the truth, and when Edward looks up at me and smiles widely, I know he believes it too.

End of chapter!

Okay, I don't know whether or not to leave it there or too write an epilogue? Can I hear your suggestions please? Because it could work as both.

Just leave a little review or mail me, I don't mind, just would like to hear what you think.
