I'm Trying

Bella's POV (still in coma) I'm pretty sure this is not medically accurate.

I can hear Emmett. He is telling me all these stories from our past. I know all of them. Some I actually remember, some he has told me before. But I love listening to his voice. I can hear his love for me. I love that man with everything I am. And I know I'm killing him right now. I'm trying so hard to wake up. But I'm stuck. And so tired. I hear other people too. But I can only focus on Emmett. I keep trying to say his name. I feel so weak. I need to wake up for him. And my baby. She must be so confused. Why isn't he with her? Go home Emmett I yell. But only in my head. Grrrrr.

Edward's POV (a few days later)

Rose called me and threatened to kill me if I didn't come see Bella and convince Emmett to go see Emberlee on her birthday. I was shocked when he actually went. Rose is pretty good with guilt. And threats.

I'm sitting there telling her my latest girlfriend drama and when I hear her.

"Emmett?" So soft I barely hear. "Emmett?" Slightly desperate this time.

Holy crap. I tell Rose to get the doctor. And call Emmett. Crap Emmett is going to kill me! Maybe if I had come sooner… But it doesn't matter if he does kill me. At least she is awake. Holy crap she's awake!

"Bella, it's Edward. Emmett will be here as soon as possible sweetheart."

"Edward. What happened?"

Oh god. Luckily the doctor comes in.

He's doing what doctors do and Emmett comes rushing in.

"Bella, oh my god Bella." And that's all he says. That's enough.

Emmett's POV

I'm sitting on the floor with Emberlee playing with one of her birthday presents. My phone rings and mom picks it up.

"She's awake Emmett!"

That's all I hear and I'm out the door. I am the worst husband ever. That's all I can think. Well that and thank god she's awake. How could I leave her? At least Edward is there. He should have come sooner! No, this is not his fault.

She's awake.
