Sorry, the other chapter was kind of wordy. I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Chapter 13: Bella's Decision –Edward's POV-
The pain! Jasper yelled in his head. He ran out of the room, clutching his chest. "Carlisle!" I shouted.
I'll be there in a minute. Try to restrain Bella from moving. I went over and sat down on the bed. I put one of my hands on hers, and the other on her forehead. Holy cow! She's burning up. Carlisle walked in.
"Edward, we may be able to drain the liquid from her lungs. It would by you some time, but that's it."
"Please do that. I don't want to take the wedding away from her."
"Okay." Carlisle put Bella into a wheelchair, and brought her to the operating room. He wouldn't let me watch, incase it went badly. I was driven crazy not knowing if she would be okay. I tried to ignore the thoughts around me, even my loved ones'. Alice held my hand. "Edward, she'll be fine. Bella is a fighter, and she doesn't give up easily. I can see that she'll be fine." I tried to smile at her words.
"She doesn't mind danger, and she doesn't care about herself," Alice continued, trying to calm me down. "I didn't want to bring her to Italy, but I didn't have a choice. She happily went, wanting to save you. Bella loves you, Edward, and she's not going to die."
"Thanks, Alice."
"I really mean it, Edward."
"I know." I heard Carlisle walking towards us. I got up, as he came into Bella's room, carrying Bella.
"She did fine."
"Bella should wake up within the next couple of minutes," Alice said, seeming satisfied. I sat down on the bed, stroking my Bella's hand.
"Edward," she mumbled.
"I'm right here," I replied. Her eyelids flickered open.
-Bella's POV-
As I opened my eyes, my angel was there staring into my eyes. I smiled. "Hey, Edward." He chuckled.
"You gave me a scare there," he accused.
"Sorry. What were we
talking about before?"
"It doesn't matter now. Carlisle gave
us some more time, but you have to be changed right after the
wedding." My eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
"It's just a precaution," he comforted.
"Why right after
the-"
"Our time is limited. Your lungs could fill up with
water again."
"I have asbestos, right?" He frowned.
"Yes. How did you get that?"
"When I was younger I remember playing with what I believed to be dust. Renée told me it was asbestos."
"Ah." He was silent for a moment, concentrating very hard on something. "If you could be changed into a vampire anywhere, where would it be?"
"Umm, I think it
would love to be changed in our house." Edward's face light up in
excitement. "Edward, despite what I said earlier, I want you
there."
"Thank you," he sighed.
