Here you go. If this chapter sucks then blame it on the fact two of my best friends have been lying to me =(.

Chapter 9. Possibly cured.
Edward's POV.
There had to be some sort of cure for me. The only reason I cared about getting cured was because of Bella. She wanted me to be cured. It hurt her to see me like this, which hurt me, because she was hurt.
I traced invisible patterns on Bella's back as she slept. She was getting worse despite the treatment. Her body was getting used to the medication. I sighed. Was there any hope for us?
Yes, somewhere, somehow, there was.
Lately people have been visiting us. Mostly Alice, Esme, and Emmett, but yesterday Renee' had visited us.
FLASHBACK…
"How is there no cure?" Renee' practically yelled at Carlisle.
"This is a virus that doesn't have a cure, yet." He replied calmly.
"Why?" She yelled back.
"Mom, listen to Carlisle." Bella said almost in tears. She has cried enough tears she didn't need to cry anymore.
"Carlisle," I said so low and fast no human would understand or notice, "Please at least take her outside."
Okay, he thought.
"Please come to my office, Renee'." He said as he started to walk out the door.
"No. Why should I? I'm taking my daughter to a place where they can cure her!"
"They won't be able to help her at all. Trust me." He replied still calm.
"Please, Mom, just listen to him." Bella said still holding in tears.
Renee' stopped and realized what she was doing, and that it wasn't helping.
"I'm sorry. I was just worried. I trust you, Carlisle. I k now Bella is in good hands."
"Thank you." All three of us said in sync. That caused a chuckle out of Renee'.
She walked over to Bella gave her a hug and said she would be back in two days.
END FLASHBACK…
"Edward…" Bella mumbled in her sleep. I couldn't help but to smile at that.
"I love you…" she mumbled again.
"I love you too." I whispered.
I smiled knowing she would always love me no matter how much of a monster I was. Then I frowned. The reason why she was sick was because of me this was my fault. I stopped myself. She wouldn't want me to be all sad and guilty. That wouldn't help her get better, and that is all I wanted was for her to get better. I hugged Bella a little bit tighter to me without waking her.
I herd the hospital door open slightly and Carlisle walked through it.
"Edward, we need to talk." He whispered now standing next to mine and Bella's hospital bed.
"What is it?" I whispered.
"I think I found a way to cure you, and Bella." He replied.
"How?" I said just a little too loud waking Bella from her slumber. She murmured something, moved around to where she was no longer lying on top of me but on her side with her head on my chest, and fell back asleep.
"How?" I whispered.
"Well what you need to do is eat human food, I know it sounds crazy, but it will back you puke thus getting the toxins out of your body, now for Bella…" he trailed off.
"What?"
"Since puking will not work for her, we have two choices so far, ether give her a higher dose of the medication she's already on, which I am not completely sure that will work, or change her."
I immediately said, "A higher dose." I did not want her to be a vampire yet. It wasn't supposed to happen like this.
"I figured you would say that so I already ordered it. It should be here later today. Now I'll be back with food for you." He said and left the room.
The medication had to work. I did not want her changing to be this way. I wanted us to get married, and let her be human for a while and then change her. Well things don't always work out as planned, a voice inside my head said. I sighed. I would wait until I absolutely had to change Bella. If there were second choices I would take those before I would ever change her.
A few minutes later Bella awoke.
"Hi." I said to her.
"Hey." She murmured as she stretched.
"Carlisle thinks he found a cure for me." I told her.
All her attention snapped on me.
"What? How?" She said overly happy.
"Well he thinks if I puke enough all the toxins will come out of my body."
"How will you puke?"
"By eating human food." I said crinkling my nose in disgust.
She giggled a little and smiled.
"Will it work?" she said.
"I think so. It doesn't seem like bad plan to me."
She was beaming. "I love you, Edward."
"I love you more." I challenged.
"Nuh uh! I love you more."
"Nope." I said smiling.
"I love you more and that's that. No one could ever love anyone as much I as love you." She said very sure of herself.
"How about this, we love each other more then ether of us could love each other?" I said not sure if it made any sense to her.
She bought it. But that didn't mean it made sense to her.
"Okay. I'll buy it even though that barely made any sense."
"Good." I smiled. I sat up slowly as did she.
She laid her head on my shoulder and said, "Promise me something?"
"Anything."
"When we are all better, promise me we could go to our meadow, just you and me?"
"Of course." I said. I pulled her on my lap and wrapped my arms around her and she put her arms on top of mine and laid her head back on my shoulder. We fit together so perfectly. I thought.
"We fit together perfectly." I murmured kissing her shoulder and smelling her. The burn of thirst in my throat was worse then usual do to my lack of hunting, obviously, but I didn't care. I ignored the monster inside of me almost easily.
"Mhmm." She kissed my neck and I smiled.
Just then Carlisle came in and the horrid smell of human food caught my scenes.
"Ew…" I said quietly mostly to back Bella laugh.
It worked her giggled. "Its not that bad."
"Are you sure," she nodded, "How you like to eat," I trialed of thinking of something. Then I got it. "How would you like to drink blood?"
"Ew gross!" She said. Then she thought for a moment. "That's gross, so that's what food is like to you?"
"Yep." I said popping the "p" at the end.
"Ewww…" she said again.
Carlisle smiled and handed me the food and walked over to Bella. She looked up at him.
"What?" she said sounded almost worried.
"I have to give you another shot Bella." He said.
She pouted. "But you gave me one yesterday."
He and I both chuckled. "I know but I'm giving you a higher dosage. It might help you."
"It will." I murmured mostly to myself.
"Now eat, Edward." Carlisle said smiling.
"Fine." I said taking a bite of bread. I chewed it as fast as possible and swallowed it. It was disgusting.
Carlisle gave Bella her shot and walked out of the room.
I finished all the horribly disgusting food and I knew I was going to puke soon.
"Are you okay?" Bella said kind of worried.
"Yeah."
"You sure?"
Then I knew I was going to puke. I got up as fast as possible and thankfully made it to the toilet in time and puked. And puked, and puked. It felt like hours of puking. When I finally stopped I looked at the clock in the bathroom and realized it had been an hour.
My eyes widened. Then I herd a soft knock on the bathroom door. I got up slowly and opened it. Then I realized how much better I felt. There was to aches or pains, I could breathe, not that I needed to, perfectly fine and my throat, other then the burning thirst, felt fine as well. I was so caught up in realizing how good I felt I didn't notice Bella was in front of me crying.
I took her in my arms. "Why are you crying?"
She ignored my question. "Are you okay?"
"Actually, way better then okay."
"Really?" she said looking at me.
"Yeah. I mean I barely feel sick at all."
New tears came down Bella's face; these were not sad tears, considering she was smiling, they were happy tears.
"Maybe it worked." She said sniffling.
"Maybe so." I smiled.
