Chapter 17
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Well this seemed awfully familiar.
With a groan I opened my eyes.
What the hell happened?
I sat up in bed, winching as I felt a sharp pain in my right shoulder. Pulling down my gown I saw that there was a bloody gauze tapped to the area between my shoulder and collar bone.
Seriously, what happened?
I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood up, grabbing hold of my IV stand. Looking around the room, I couldn't see the twins any more.
Where were they? Were they okay?
Then something clicked in my head.
James.
In a flood of panic, I ran from the room. I made it half way down the hall before I heard someone call out to me.
"Bella?" Turning around I saw Edward running up to me.
"Baby what are you doing out of bed?" He said as he took my hand.
"Where are the twins? Where's James? What happened?" I squeaked, tears falling down my cheeks.
"First of all calm down. I'm going to take you back to your room and then we can talk."
"No Edward; where are my children?"

"Do you think she's going to be alright?"
I looked down at my baby sister who was staring intently at Bella who was still unconscious. I wasn't going to say anything but I think Carlisle went a little overboard with the sedative. But maybe that was a good thing.
"She'll be just fine." I said, wrapping my arm around her skinny shoulders.
Bella just wouldn't calm down enough to reason with anyone. After giving birth and everything she went through with her bastard ex, she shouldn't have been on her feet. But then again, I couldn't blame her for being worried.
"Do you think we should tell her everything?" Alice asked.
"I don't want to but I think it would be best. She would want to know."
It was a couple more hours before Bella began waking up. I was in the nursery holding Harry, rocking him to sleep after he had his first set of immunisations. Poor little guy cried up a storm, his little face crunching up and turning bright red.
Emmett came running past the viewing video in his scrubs before noticing me and banged on the window, signalling for me to come out, something that luckily didn't disturb all the babies sleeping!
"What's going on?" I asked closing the door quietly behind me.
"Bella's waking up."
Together we both ran down the hall to her room where Carlisle and Charlie were already waiting. Alice shot up from her seat in the waiting room just opposite the room but Emmett sat back down with her saying that they didn't need any more people in the room.
Charlie shut the door as the three of us crowded around the bed. Bella shuffled around, her eyes squeezing tight before slowly opening. She looked around for a few minutes before sighing and using her arms to pull herself upright.
"You know I'm really tired of suddenly waking up in a hospital bed."
The three of us laughed and Charlie stepped up to the side of her and kissed her forehead.
"Well you've got to stop being such a danger magnet."
"I know." She said looking down in a quiet voice.
About 30 seconds later she burst out into tears.
"Bells what's wrong?" Charlie asked wrapping his arms around her shaking form.
"I'm such a bad mother!" She wailed.
"Baby, that's not true." I said making my way to the other side of the bed.
"I couldn't protect my baby from that monster." She spat.
"But she's fine love."
Bella's head shot up from her hands and her tear filled eyes stared up at me.
"What?"
"She's okay. She's under watch, but she's going be okay."
Bella stared at me for a second before she began crying again and hitting me on the arm.
"Well why didn't you say anything before?! I thought I lost her!"
"Because you were out of your bed when you shouldn't have been, plus the fact that you were hysterical and wouldn't listen to anyone, Carlisle had to sedate you."
Bella remained quite as she wiped at her eyes and visibly straightened herself out.
"So what happened?" She asked later in a calm even voice.
I looked to Charlie who rolled his eyes at his daughter. She was trying to make up for being out of control earlier.
"After you blacked out, James left the room but your screaming alerted the nurses. They came running to your room seeing James leaving with Lori."
Bella tensed but she still kept calm.
"Carlisle and I were in a cafeteria and were notified that a man had left your room with one of the twins."
"At first we thought it was Edward but then he met us in the lobby." Carlisle said in his calm doctor voice.
"We knew Emmett wouldn't have taken one of the twins so we were on alert. We started making our way to the elevator when James walked out holding Lori. He recognised me and threatened Lori with the knife. I couldn't do anything but let him walk out. As soon as he was in a car I made a call to the station blocking all exits out of Forks and we got in the cruiser and cut him off at the edge of the city."
We all held our breath for the last part.
"He had to be gunned down in the end Bells. I'm sorry."
Bella just sat there, lost in her own head. Slowly her hand reached out and gripped mine and Charlie's.
"So it really over then?"
"Yeah Bells. There's no need for a trial because well…he's dead."
"I'm free?" She whispered softly, looking up at me with her big brown eyes.
"Yeah baby. You're free."
BPOV
"She's so tiny mommy." I looked down at Mason who was holding my hand as we looked at Lori in her incubator.
They had just released me from hospital; with my injured and shoulder what not; they didn't want me to push myself too hard, on top of the fact that I was a mother.
Lori had been in an incubator ever since the whole James fiasco. With her being taken out of the hospital so young, without her immunisations and with so little coverings, they had to watch her because she could have easily picked up something. So far it all seemed good.
"I know baby, but we're luckily that she's okay."
"She looks like me mama!" Lizzie squealed from her perch on my hip.
She actually did, well when Lizzie was a baby.
"I know sweetie. Maybe you and Lori are the twins."
"They will be mommy, Lizzie and Loir!" Mason told me. I didn't realise that until he said that.
"I guess they will."
A few minutes later Edward joined us with Harry in his arms. Now Harry was his own little person. Actually, I think he looked more like Charlie each day.
"Carlisle is just going to check her over once more and then we'll be able to take her home."
I smiled up at Edward as he rocked Harry.
He had been so amazing especially through everything that had happened. A normal man would have taken off as soon as he knew I had children but he stuck around and made us feel like a little family. He had done so much for me and my kids; I don't know what I've done to deserve him.
I must have been staring for too long and a hole was burnt into the size of his head because he suddenly looked down in surprise.
"What?" He mouthed at me.
"Nothing." I responded.
He gave me a look as if you say 'I know you're hiding something' and gave me a look that every time tugged at something deep inside me.
I smiled back at him, my eyes saying everything I couldn't.
And his eyes spoke the same.
A/N: So what did you think? Its a bit fluffy. But I was thinking if people want then I will put in Charlie's POV of what happened :) that should be interesting!
