JAR:
"It should go back to normal soon. For now though, she will be extremely tired. We need to check her into a room and let her sleep here overnight so I can monitor her."
I looked back down at my angel. Her eyes were closed, but I knew she was only sleeping. Her heart was beating strongly in her chest. I had my angel back.
Bella's Point of View
I was dreaming. I knew that much. But this was such a good dream. I was with Charlie in heaven again.
"I'm sorry to invade your dreams honey, but I forgot to tell you something," Charlie said.
I smiled. "Don't worry about it. What did you need to tell me?"
"Vampires have souls," he said. "I have to go now. Tell Edward for me will you?"
I stared at him in shock as everything around me began to fade.
I woke to an annoying beeping sound coming from my right. I was so tired. I wanted to punch whatever was making the sound so I could go back to sleep.
I moaned softly.
"Bella?" Cold hands stroked my hair.
Slowly, I opened my eyes to see Edward leaning over me looking at me with concern in his eyes.
"Edward?" I questioned quietly. I couldn't seem to talk any louder. I was too tired.
"Yes, it's me. You scared me to death Bella," he said.
"How long was I out?" I asked as everything came flooding back to me.
"You woke up in the ER but only stayed awake for about a minute. You have been sleeping for about eight hours since then."
"Where am I?" I asked.
"You are in the hospital. Carlisle wanted to keep an eye on you for a little while."
I closed my eyes and sighed. "I'm so sorry Edward," I whispered. "I put you through a lot."
"Just promise you will never do anything like that ever again," he said. He got into the bed with me and put his arms around me.
"I can't promise that," I said snuggling closer to him.
He stiffened next to me. "Bella…"
"I can promise I will never try to take my own life again, but I can't promise that nothing will happen to me." I opened my eyes and stared in front of me. "I am just a human Edward," I whispered. "Things happen."
"Bella…I know you want me to change you, but I can't. I can't damn your soul."
I laughed quietly.
"What's wrong Bella?" I didn't answer. I just kept laughing. "Why are you laughing Bella? This isn't funny." He turned me towards him so he could look at me.
I calmed down and looked into his eyes. "I talked to Charlie."
"What?" Edward asked.
"When I died, I went to heaven and was able to talk to Charlie. I came back here, but he came to my dreams. He forgot to tell me something."
"What did he forget to tell you?" He thought I was crazy. I could tell.
"Edward, please believe me. I am not lying. I talked to Charlie." I yawned. Why was I so tired?
He looked into my eyes and must have seen that I was telling the truth. "Okay, I believe you," he said softly. "What did he forget to tell you?"
"Vampires have souls," I whispered.
Edward stared at me in shock. "N…no we don't."
I rolled my eyes. "Charlie told me from heaven Edward. I think he would know."
"But…we aren't even living," Edward argued. "We can't have souls."
"And yet you do." I smiled and touched his cheek stifling another yawn. "I always knew you did," I whispered.
"Well, even if we have souls, I can't change you Bella."
I pulled my hand away and looked at him in shock. "Why not?"
"I can't put you through that pain Bella. I will not change you!"
I rolled over so I wasn't looking at him anymore, but something tugged on my arm. I looked down and saw an IV stuck in my arm. I cringed but closed my eyes and tried to ignore it.
Even when he knew he had a soul, he still wouldn't change me. I knew he loved me now, but he could be so annoying sometimes!
"Bella?" Edward asked.
I didn't reply.
"Come on Bella. Don't be like this. I can't put you through that kind of pain! I love you too much!"
"I've been through worse," I whispered.
"What do you mean?"
"I have been through pain much worse Edward. I think I can handle anything after what I have been through."
Edward sighed and wrapped his arms around me pulling me closer to him. "I'm sorry Bella."
"You did it for me," I whispered. "I understand now." I opened my eyes and turned my head toward him. "But that doesn't mean it didn't hurt."
"I put you through so much. And then your father dies. I'm so sorry Bella. I love you so much." He kissed me lightly on the lips.
"Please change me Edward," I whispered. "Please."
He sighed. "I don't know Bella…"
"I would still have my soul," I said. "And I can handle the pain. There is no reason not to. Charlie is gone now. There is nothing holding me back."
"Would Charlie approve though?" Edward asked.
"Yes," I said confidently. "He told me so."
"When you were in heaven?" Edward clarified.
"Yes. When I was in heaven. Please Edward."
I was so tired. I yawned yet again. Edward needed to answer now. I needed to sleep.
"You should sleep Bella. You have been through a lot," Edward said.
I shook my head but could feel my eyes fluttering. They were so heavy.
"N'swer me," I said quietly through the haziness.
"When you wake up Bella. Sleep now my angel. I will love you forever." He began to hum my lullaby and I drifted to sleep.
