A/N: So, I made a
medical mistake, as I knew I would. Bella would not have lost her
hair before treatment, so I'm very sorry for the mistake. Thanks to
Edwardcullenluvaa, SourAppleChica, and FangWannabe for telling me.
So on with the story! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Twilight series; it all belongs to the wonderful Stephenie Meyer.
Bella's Point of View
"Um…Edward…" I started.
"Yes love?" He replied angelically.
"Why is there going to be a family meeting in your room?"
"Well, you know we consider you part of the family, therefore you are to be included in our family meetings. Carlisle is going to make you move from the bed, so he decided to bring the meeting to you."
My heart swelled as I heard that they considered me part of their family. I always knew they did, but it was still so nice to hear.
"Oh." I put on a small smile, and Edward kissed my forehead. Seconds later the entire Cullen clan was in Edward's room.
Edward's Point of View
I watched as my family piled into my room. Emmett and Rose took the couch, Jasper sat on the floor with Alice sitting between his legs, and Carlisle and Esme sat at the end of my bed. I was trying to read my family's minds, but they weren't thinking about anything of importance. This could be bad. Either their ideas are so off the wall, that they knew I would throw a fit, or they don't have ideas at all.
"Edward, did Emmett tell you his ideas?" Carlisle asked me calmly.
"Yes he did, and I don't approve of any of them."
"Come on Edward, the shower idea was good, and you know it!" Emmett spoke loudly.
"Shower idea?" Bella questioned quietly.
"You really don't want to know." I told her. All of a sudden Alice broke out laughing.
"Emmett…how could…you be…so…stupid?!?" Alice said between laughs. I could tell from her thoughts that she could see Emmett's plan in motion.
"If you're seeing it Alice, then you know it would have worked!" Emmett claimed.
"No Emmett, I can't see the outcome, because Bella and Edward never agreed to it. It was never set in motion. The only reason I can see anything at all is because you were so set with that plan." Alice continued to laugh.
"Someone want to fill me in?" Carlisle asked.
"Basically Emmett wanted Bella to get electrocuted by the hair dryer and then fall into a shower of gasoline, then she'd go up in flames." I explained annoyed.
"Ow!" Emmet bellowed.
"What's wrong with you now?" Jasper asked.
"Rose just hit me!" He pouted. Jasper just laughed.
"Rose, why did you hit me?"
"Do you know how gasoline would be wasted if we had used your little idea?"
"I'm sorry Rose." If Emmett had a tail, it would have been between his legs. We all had a laugh at Emmett's expense, and then I looked to Bella who had just gasped.
"Are you okay love?" I asked concerned dripping from my voice.
"Yes, I guess I just hadn't pieced together that this meeting was about my…death…until now." I cradled her in my arms, and whispered in her ear.
"Nothing's going to happen to you, you trust me right?" She nodded silently.
"Ok, so you've heard Emmett's and Alice's ideas. Why don't you quickly go over them, so that we don't have any repeats?" Carlisle said.
"Alright, Alice mentioned a car crash, burning down the house, and also…a shark attack." I paused while everyone laughed, including Alice.
"Okay, okay, it wasn't the best idea." Alice admitted.
"Alright, and Emmett's ideas?" Carlisle pushed.
"Emmett mentioned cliff diving, an animal attack, the dumb shower idea, and he also mentioned a car crash." I said.
"Alright, so, does anyone else have any ideas?" Carlisle asked. No one said anything.
"How soon do we need a plan?" Esme asked curiously.
"The sooner the better, if we don't come up with a plan soon, then we're going to need to send Bella to a specialist for further treatment, and all of the doctors I would trust with her are out of the state." Carlisle said.
"I have an idea." Rosalie spoke quietly.
"Go ahead Rose." Carlisle said.
"What if we said Bella spontaneously combusted…"
"What?" I cut her off, angrily.
"Edward just let me finish, you never know, you might like my idea."
"Fine." I said gruffly.
"Spontaneous combustion would occur with a chemical imbalance. If Bella were to spontaneously combust, we wouldn't have to really do anything. It would just be something that happened."
"This isn't about being simple Rose!" I yelled.
"Edward, that wasn't what I meant it to sound like, but do honestly think it's a bad idea?"
"Yes." But it wasn't me who said it, it was Carlisle.
"Rose, it's extremely unlikely that that would happen." Carlisle said.
"Yeah, but a gasoline shower would." Rose mumbled under her breath.
"Rose, we didn't agree to that either, we said that wouldn't work, remember." Carlisle said.
"Yeah, I remember."
"Any other ideas?" Again no one responded.
"Jasper...Esme?"
"I might have an idea." Jasper said.
"Well go ahead. It's worth telling us." Carlisle said.
"What if Bella were hit by a car?"
"Why would she be outside, where she could get hit by car?" I asked.
"I don't know, but we could figure something out."
"I don't like it." I said.
"Alright, well I don't have anything else." Jasper said.
"Carlisle, have you thought of anything?" I asked.
"Nothing that hasn't already been said, have you?"
"Nothing that would actually work."
I turned to look at Bella; she looked like she was going to cry. I pulled her closer to my chest.
"Sweetie, we'll figure something out, don't worry." I tried to say it with great confidence, but I knew it wasn't there.
"I don't want to die." She whispered so quietly, that if I hadn't been a vampire, there is no way I would have heard it.
"You won't." Surprisingly it wasn't just me who said it, but instead my entire family said it all at the same time.
"Bella, we aren't going to lose you." Esme said firmly, with so much confidence in her voice.
We all sat in silence for a good thirty minutes. It made me sad that I could read everyone's thoughts, other than Bella's, and no one had an idea.
"I think I got it!"
A/N: That's it! I'd like to mention, the one who said I think I got it, really does have it! It's the winning plan! But who said it? You tell me! Review review review!!
