A/N: Thank you for your reviews. I would like to mention, in my last A/N, it was suppose to give the website I got the information from, but it didn't work…so that's why my statement may not have made sense. Just wanted to clear that up. Anyhow…here's chapter 6. Enjoy and please review!

Bella's Point of View
I was starting to get worried. Edward was holding one of my hands, and Charlie held my other hand in his. This couldn't be good. What was going on? I needed to now! I had to know! Carlisle spoke, taking me out of my misery, but sending a whole new rush of panic over me.
"Bella, after a close examination of you and your blood tests, I've found that you have leukemia." Carlisle face was sorrow filled. I looked at Charlie, and saw tears welled up in his eyes, ready to cascade down his cheeks. I couldn't make myself look at Edward, for I knew his face would hold more pain and sorrow than I could bare to look at for the time being. He tightened his grip on my hand, which showed how much concern he held for me.
"Cancer?" I asked, even though I already knew the answer.
"Yes, there are several treatments, and we thought it would be best if you helped chose your treatment." I just nodded and he continued.
"There's chemotherapy…" He rattled off a list of treatments, and how each of them worked, but I wasn't paying attention to him. The only things running through my mind were questions…how could this have happened? Why did this happen? Carlisle stopped speaking, and then I spoke.
"Could you please leave me alone?" Carlisle walked out the door, and Charlie and Edward stood up, ready to leave. I let go of Charlie's hand, but held on tightly to Edward's, I had yet to look him in the eye.
"Edward…could you please stay with me?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper. Edward sat back down, and Charlie walked out. Minutes went by, and I still hadn't even looked at Edward. We sat there in silence. I hadn't accepted this yet, and all of a sudden it hit me like a ton of bricks. I have cancer.
My body began to tremble, and I knew Edward was looking at me with worried eyes. I slid under the covers, covering myself with the blankets, trying to hide from the world, trying to hide from this disease. I had the blanket all tucked around me, except for my left hand, which was still being held tightly in Edward's cold, yet somehow warm, hand. He started rubbing reassuring circles on the back of my hand. I laid there trembling, and the tears began working there way down my cheeks. Edward slowly and carefully pulled the blanket away from my head. I finally turned my gaze to him. He took his hand, which wasn't holding mine, and ran it across my forehead, moving stray hairs away, and he bent down to kiss my forehead. I sat up, and motioned for him to come sit with me.
I scooted over, giving Edward space to sit down on the small bed. He sat down, and I fell into him. He gingerly picked me up placing me in his lap. It's hard to explain how it feels to have contact with Edward. He's hard and cold, but still he's soft and warm to me. There isn't anywhere else I would rather be than in his arms.
I sat there, in his lap, and cried. His body was shaking, but he stayed calm, and he kept his head on my own. Kissing my hair, now and then, whispering sweet words to me.
"Bella, my Bella, I'm here…and I'm never going to leave your side."
He repeated these words and many more, until I finally stopped crying. My eyes were heavy, and I wanted to sleep, but I didn't want Edward to go.
"Bella, you need to sleep, you look so tired." He traced his fingers under my eyes. I wrapped my arms around him tightly, not want him to go.
"Love, I'm not going anywhere, but you really need to sleep." He kissed my forehead.
"Edward…" I spoke quietly.
"Yes love?"
"Will you lay with me?" I asked innocently.
Edward's Point of View
She asked me to lay with her. How on earth were we both suppose to fit on that tiny bed? Granted, Bella's small, but that bed is also small. I couldn't tell her no though.
"Of course." Bella slid off of my lap reluctantly, and I stood up. Bella's eyes opened large in shock, and she pouted at me.
"What?" I asked my voice filled with concern.
"I thought you said you would lay with me!"
"I will, I thought I would let you get comfortable first, and then I'll lay down."
"Oh." Was her only response. I smiled lightly, she was so cute.
Bella adjusted herself on the bed.
"Okay, I'm comfortable, now come lay down." She demanded, sweetly.
"Yes dear." She smiled at that, but it didn't quite touch her eyes.
I laid next to her, and wrapped her in a blanket. She nestled her body into mine, and I wrapped my arms around her. My face was laying weightlessly on her head, and I began to hum her lullaby into her ear. She fell asleep within two minutes.
I stared at my love, knowing that I could not lose her. I came up with a solution, but I needed to formulate a plan to make everything work out correctly.
A/N: So what do you think? Did you like it? What's Edward thinking? Does he have a plan? You tell me! Review please!
