A/N: Hey guys! Sorry, it has been so long. Life has gotten in the way. I know this chapter is short but I'm sitting in a hotel room writing right now. Hopefully in a couple weeks; when my husband finally gets to come home after five weeks, I'll be able to get back on my writing schedule. Enjoy!

I woke up to a bright light filtering through the hospital windows. Paul was asleep in the corner chair. Dad was sprawled out on the couch, snoring away. I smiled and turned to look at the time and jumped. My hand flew to clutch my chest. Old Quil was sitting next to me smiling brightly.

"Good morning child." He said and leaned forward to grab the hand I had extended towards him. "Or should I say, Daughter."

"You know?" I asked him smiling. He nodded as he asked,

"How was your spirit walk?"

"Enlightening..."

"They usually are." He replied laughing. I was perplexed by how he knew, so I asked,

"How do you know about it?"

"I had my own spirit walk last night. So when I woke up I hurried over so I could be here when you awakened. I feel honored that you are from my lineage. I learned that my great aunt is your great great grandmother."

"Small world," I said. We both got a chuckle out of that. "Quil...I know everything. I can tell you which plants are healing. I can tell when the season for fishing will reach its peak. When the harvests will prosper and when we'll need to prepare for famine."

"Yes, I know. I was told it was time for our tribe to return to our former glory. Getting back to mother nature as it were. I can't tell you how excited I am that I get to witness this new beginning. By the way, I think you should call me Grandad." I smiled in reply and motioned for him to come closer and I kissed him on the cheek. When I pulled back Paul was slack-jawed.

It's true...I said to him through the bond we shared. He nodded in reply. Just then the door opened and Dr. Cullen stepped through.

"Good morning Bella." He said in greeting

"Good morning," I said. My dad woke up then rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

"Morning everyone." He said straightening his clothes.

"Well since everyone is here I'll start with the good news. You can go home today." Where there is good news there is bad so I asked.

"What's the bad news?"

"I want you on bed rest for a week. Then either I or Sue would like to see you for a checkup." I sighed in relief I could handle a week. Paul was beaming. I could tell he was excited to get me home.

"Don't worry about anything, babe, the boys and I will handle moving your stuff today." He said coming to kiss my forehead. I smiled in reply. Just then the door opened and Edward stuck his head in.

"Knock, knock." He said. Paul immediately bristled a growl rumbling deep in his chest.

"Paul be nice," I stated. "Come in Edward," I told him. He stepped into the room and came to stand by the bottom of my bed. I was confused I thought maybe he needed to speak to his father but he just stared at me with relief in his eyes.

"What can I do for you, Edward?" I asked trying to make sense of the situation.

"I just wanted to check up and make sure you are okay," he said in reply. I nodded and said,

"Thank you for your concern, Edward. But as we just met yesterday I'm a bit confused as to why you care." Dr. Cullen stepped forward and began,

"Bella it was Edward who told me you were rushed to the hospital. He heard what went on in the hallway and phoned me to let me know to be ready. That's why I had the ultrasound machine ready for when you came. Usually, it takes 15 minutes to sign it out and power it up. His heads-up saved us valuable time."

I was stunned. Edward did that for me? I looked at him questioningly.

"I know this is going to sound strange, but I feel a connection to you." He said answering my look.

Then all hell broke loose.
