Bella POV

"Almost done," I announced. Today was the day I was able to leave the hospital. I was a bit sore where the surgery took place, and Edward made sure that I was as eased and relaxed as possible. Sure, it was a little annoying, and I wanted to pack up my things myself, but sometimes it was near impossible to tell Edward no. So I allowed him to help with the big things.

I made sure I was doing something, folding clothes and small stuff like that. I had been a patient at the Forks Hospital for about four days, and though it wasn't all that long of a time, I was ready to get home and back at school. I had already missed the rest of the first week, and had the weekend ahead of me to recuperate, and then back to school on Monday.

I was glad to get back. Being helpless in a hospital bed for half a week can get quite irritating.

"Charlie's on his way with Carlisle and a wheelchair," Edward warned me.

"Fabulous," I muttered under my breath. "I can really walk," she argued with Edward just as Carlisle and my father had entered the hospital room, just as predicted by Edward.

"Ready to get out of here, Bells?" Charlie asked with a small grin. "I signed all of your release forms, everything's all taken care of," he insisted.

"Thanks, Dad," I said, a bit grateful. I looked up at Edward who motioned me towards the wheelchair. "Fine," I said under my breath, as I hopped down from the bed, perhaps a bit too fast, and into the chair before I was able to stumble over my own feet.

"Okay, Bella, go home, relax this weekend, try to stay off your feet and make sure you clean the incision with alcohol rub and replace the gauze three times a day," Carlisle instructed, wheeling me out of my room, as Edward and Charlie followed, Charlie grabbing my things from Edward who didn't argue at all. It was clear that there was some tension between the two of them still, but they'd learn to get over it.

Edward decided to go his separate ways, or at least as far as Charlie was concerned, and stayed back at the hospital with Carlisle. Charlie took me back home, and insisted I go upstairs to bed.

"If you need anything, make sure you let me know, anything at all," my overprotective father insisted over and over again. I wish he'd stop, however I knew the only way to get him to would be to simply oblige.

"Yes, Dad," I'd reply over and over again. My bed was surely missed. I loved the feeling of the freshly washed sheets and the overstuffed mattress against my back. It was a huge improvement from the hospital bed, even though I had adjusted to it.

My heart raced slightly when I saw Edward at my window. I grinned an ear to ear smile, and jumped out of my bed quickly, opening the window to let him in.

"I thought you'd never get here," I smiled, reaching up to place an electrifying kiss on his cold and hard lips.

"I brought some company," he smiled, "They're still in your backyard, I wasn't sure if you were up for them or not, but there are some Cullens downstairs who would like to send their get well wishes," Edward added.

I was quite excited that the rest of the family was there. "Yes! Tell them to come up!" I cheered quietly, making sure my door was closed so Charlie wouldn't hear all the ruckus. Perhaps it wasn't the smartest idea, but I had faith that Edward knew what he was doing.

Four vampires stampeded silently into my bedroom. I could tell that the only two who really wanted to be here were Alice and Emmett. Rosalie and Jasper were obviously just here because of their spouses desire to be.

I smiled at each of them awkwardly. It had been the first time any of them had been in my room. Frankly it was pretty strange. My room had nothing on their big white mansion they called home.

"Awh, Bella, we're so glad you were okay," Alice said with a sincere grin in my direction, and reached over to give a hug, leaving Jasper's side.

"Me, too, I'm sorry I requested no visitors at the hospital," I began.

"Oh, I understand," Alice winked at me.

I decided not to object to anything, mostly because I was a bit tired to argue.

"Uhm, I'm gonna go change really fast, I've been in these clothes for the past two days," I said quickly, and grabbed a pair of my nicer sweats and matching zip up hoodie and fled into the bathroom, changing at a rapid pace.

I walked back into my bedroom with five vampires awkwardly standing around.

"Well, this was a nice visit," Edward assured them all, "But Bella really should get some rest," he said with a nod.

"But... they just got here," I objected.

"Alice wouldn't leave me alone, she wanted to see you so bad, so I gave in. I told them all they couldn't stay long," Edward said to me. I couldn't say no to him. It wasn't possible. And I hated that he always seemed to win, yet at the same time was okay with it since I knew he'd stay here with me, at least.

"No, no, it's fine, Bella," Alice smiled, "Let Edward be the party pooper, but we have a shopping date when you feel up to it in four days," Alice smirked, clearly using her psychic ability to detect when I will have fully recovered.

I smiled back at her, and shrank a bit to give her a hug, and decided to get to Emmett next.

"Feel better, Bella," he said, showing off his cute little smile. I reached up as high as I could go and gave him a hug, right back, as he squeezed me a bit too tight. I laughed a bit, signaling him to put me down.

I felt a small sting in my abdomen and looked down seeing a small patch of a red gooey liquid beginning to take over my light brown hoodie, "Crap," I said, able to tell that my incision was bleeding a bit.

Before I knew it, all I could hear were loud bangs coming from just mere inches from where I was standing. I looked up from my bleeding stomach and stared at this sight I thought I'd never see.

What I saw was Emmett tackling a ferocious and hungry Edward to the ground. Jasper and Rosalie were holding open the window as Alice grabbed me and the three of us where in my back yard, while Emmett continued to make sure Edward didn't try to kill me.
