Edward's Point of View
I stared down at my love. She looked quiet, yet pained. I'd never seen her look like that in her sleep. Bella was always so peaceful, but not anymore. This disease was already tearing her apart. Every fiber in my being yearned to cure Bella. She was already suffering, and this was just the early stages of the cancer. Carlisle had gone through a list of treatments that would 'help' Bella, but I knew the truth behind it. Eventually Bella would die, and the time leading up to it, would not be happily spent. Any of the treatments would put Bella's body under a significant amount of stress. There had to be a way out. There just had to be.
As I watched my angel sleep I pulled her closer to me, wishing that it were that simple. That I could just hold onto her tighter, and she could never leave. She would be mine forever, just as long as I kept my arms around her. Why couldn't it just be that way? Why?
I placed a soft kiss on her forehead, closed my eyes, and I started to reminisce about all the wonderful times we'd had. Going to our meadow, watching my angel sleep every night, going to school walking around as if we were on a cloud, the time Bella became lightheaded because of the scent of blood, and so many other memories. I opened my eyes to find Jenny checking the machines to make sure everything was okay.
"Is she still asleep?" Jenny whispered.
"Yes." I whispered back.
"Well, everything seems to be okay at the moment. If she needs anything when she wakes up, just push the button." Another whispered response.
"I will thank you Jenny." With that Jenny departed from the room, and I looked down at Bella once again.
She moved ever so slightly, laying her hand lightly on my chest. With that slightest touch, I realized there was a way out. If I gave Bella the one thing she always asked for, but I never was able to do, then she would continue to live. Or at least she would be alive in a sense. I needed to discuss this with Carlisle, but I wouldn't leave Bella's side unless she gave me permission to do so. I was lost in my thoughts, when suddenly, I heard her voice.
"Edward…" Her voice sounded pained.
"Yes my love, I'm right here." I kissed her forehead, and then she buried herself deeper into my chest, if that was even possible.
Bella began to cry. She was making noise, but her body was trembling in my embrace, and I felt the wetness of her tears against my chest. I rubbed her arm trying to soothe her. She turned her head to look at me, tears streamed down her face. I took my thumb and brushed them away. She arched her neck trying to get herself closer to my face, but she just didn't have the strength. I leaned my head closer to her, and she kissed my jaw delicately. Then she returned her head to its resting place on my chest.
"Sweetie…" I started. She just nodded into my body.
"Do you need anything?" She nodded again.
"It hurts." She mumbled quietly, so quietly I almost didn't hear her. I wasn't sure what she was referring to, but I pushed the button for the nurse, hoping they could give Bella something for her pain.
I continued rubbing Bella's arm and kissing her forehead sporadically while we waited for the nurse to come in. Bella stopped trembling after a few moments, and soon after her tears ceased.
"Thank you." She whispered.
"For what?" I asked.
"For never leaving my side, just for being here."
"Bella you don't need to thank me, there's nowhere else I would rather be than here with you. I mean of course I would prefer that you weren't in the hospital, but you are the only one I want to be with." A small smile appeared on her lips, and leaned down, and gently brushed my lips across hers.
"You're awake." The nurse said as she walked in the room. Bella just nodded in response.
"She's in pain, is there anything you can give her?" I asked.
"Let me send the doctor in, he'll decide what to give her."
"Thank you." I replied.
I looked down and noticed that Bella was trembling, but this time it was because she was cold. Goosebumps covered her entire body. I needed to move away from her, my body temperature wouldn't help her at all. I started to move away, but Bella grasped me as tightly as she possibly could.
"Don't go." She pleaded.
"Sweetheart, I'm only making you colder, and you have goose bumps."
"Edward please." She begged, and I couldn't say no to her, so I wrapped the blanket tightly around her, hoping that it would help.
Carlisle walked into the room moments later, and Bella was still cold. I looked at Carlisle with pleading eyes, hoping he could have a logical reason for me to move away from her. I didn't want to, but I could bear to see her trembling like this. Carlisle must have picked up on this.
"Edward, could you please move so that I can get a closer look at Bella." He asked kindly.
"Bella?" I looked down at her, and she slowly released my shirt from her grasp. I kissed her forehead, and stood up slowly.
Carlisle walked up to Bella, and took her temperature.
"Well, your fever has gone done a bit, but not as much as I would have liked, we'll have to give you more medication to lower it."
"Ok." Bella said quietly.
"How are you feeling, the nurse said you were in pain, is it a general pain, or is something in particular bothering you?" Just then Charlie walked into the room quietly, Bella didn't even notice.
"My whole body just aches, but my head is really bothering me." She stated quietly.
"I'll have Jenny come back and give you something for the pain and the fever."
"Hey Bells." Charlie spoke, trying to keep his voice cheery.
"Hi dad." Bella mumbled.
I looked at Carlisle, trying to give him a look to let him know that I needed to speak with him.
"Edward, could you join me in the hall for a moment?" Carlisle asked, and I was so grateful.
"Bella?"
"Go." She said quietly. I leaned down, kissed her forehead, and whispered in her ear.
"I'll be right back my love." With that I stepped out of the room with Carlisle.
"I think I'm ready to change her." I came right out with it.
