Chapter 4: Bella wakes up!

BPOV

What's that horrible smell I thought. I moaned out loud, and then tried opening my eyes slowly. I saw my angle holding my left hand, I saw Charlie holding my right hand in my periphery, and then I saw the Cullen's… I gasped and blushed bright red... The last thing I remember before my angels face was passing out naked in the bathroom.

"Bella, are you ok?" I heard Carlisle ask. I couldn't think straight yet.

"Bella, my love, its ok, I'm here, you're safe. But we need to know how you feel, please" Edward begged of me.

"I'm f__" I tried to say

"Don't you dare say fine, I know you have injuries as I was the one who attended to them" Carlisle said sternly.

"My, my... my head hurts and I fell stiff. The cut on my leg stings but I'm fine. Really. I'm just kinda muddled, and embarrassed." I replied, finally having realized I was fully clothed in my holey PJs. "How am I dressed?" I asked suspiciously hoping against hope that it wasn't Charlie or Carlisle...

"Esme and I did of course" Alice chimed, smiling at me. Fewf…… Now that I was over the initial embarrassment, "So, what happened exactly? I remember hearing my phone notify me of a text from Edward..."

"Shit" I heard Edward snarl under his breath. I really hope Charlie didn't hear that. Edward walked as quickly as human speed would allow, out of my room towards the bathroom. I didn't understand his actions and was hurt that he would leave me right now. A quick glance at Alice told me it was for my own good and that he'd be back soon. She was right; he was back with a harsh smile on his face, within 2 minutes. I smiled up at him, wishing that everyone else was gone, so he could hold me. He did anyways!

I hadn't noticed but Charlie had let go of my hand now, and was standing with Carlisle and Esme at the foot of my bed. As I snuggled into Edward, I noticed that Carlisle was staring intently at Edward while still managing to carry on a conversation with Charlie about me. I recognized this look as a sign that he was having a silent conversation with Edward. I tried to tip my head back to read Edwards face, but my head hurt too much, and Edward was instantly holding me tighter and kissing my hair saying "it's alright Bella, I'm here… Do you want something for the pain?" I really was in pain, but I didn't want him to leave me right now… He took the silence as an answer and decided to act for my own good. He lithely slid me off his lap and propped me up on some pillows and walked quickly out the door to the bathroom.

"I'm going to get Bella some Tylenol so that she can sleep" he said in answer to Charlie's expression. I also noticed him look at Carlisle knowingly and shake his head... Hmm. I wonder what question he was saying no to? It must be something about me... I crossed my arms and pouted… I knew it wasn't right, but I knew how I felt about Edward making all the decisions for me, with "my own good" in mind.

"I don't think Bella should go to school tomorrow Charlie. She took quite a fall today and was unconscious for more time that I would have liked… I also think that Edward should stay with her to observe her in case she needs something else. I would do it myself but I have to be at the hospital tomorrow. "

"But... but" Charlie sputtered, clearly enraged by the thought of Edward staying home all day with me alone. "How can he observe her? He's only 17, he has no medical training?" Charlie countered

"Edwards has observed me enough to have extensive theoretical medical knowledge. He will do just fine, and you need to go to work tomorrow Charlie." Carlisle said sternly "the best thing to help you recover from this shock is to get back into your routine.

"You expect me to leave HIM alone with MY daughter all day? After what he did to her?"(A/N-This is after Eclipse, sorry I didn't mention that sooner) Charlie exclaimed

"Charlie" Carlisle said as sternly as was possible for him "Edward WILL take care of Bella, this is my order as a doctor. Please cooperate. It's the best thing for Bella." Those last words were what turned Charlie. He looked back at me with a worried expression; I guess I didn't look too hot at the moment. I gave him a smile.

"You gave me quite a scare there Bells… I guess if this is what's best for you, then I'll have to get over it. You call me though, you hear me. You need anything, something happens, you call me! Got it?" I was stunned by Charlie's protective nature coming out... I was trying to figure out how to respond "Dad," My train of thought was stopped in its tracks as Edward entered the room again, with a glass of water and three small white pills in his hand. I smiled as big as I could at him. His face softened, and he gave me his crooked smile that always made my heart go wild.

Edward handed me the pills and water, which I took. Then he picked me up gently and laid me back down between his legs, resting with me back against his chest. I reveled at the feeling. He put his arms snuggly around me and kissed my head before responding to Charlie.

"Mr. Swan, I can never express how sorry I am for what I've done to Bella, but I assure you I've always only had her best interest in mind. I love her with all my being and never want anything bad to happen to her. Please, let me prove this to you tomorrow. I have watched Carlisle in his work ever since I came to live with him; I know I can take care of Bella." He said this as fervently as possible and no one could doubt the transparent honesty in his voice. I looked at Charlie.

He was still stunned by how polite Edward was to him after he made such an effort to be the opposite.

"OK Edward... but you call me if anything and I mean anything happens that changes Bella's condition!"(A/N-hint hint, I'm gonna have some fun with this one next chapter!!) Edward nodded.

"Yes sir!" With that Charlie nodded and stalked out of the room, I heard him bedroom door shut, a very un-Charlie like thing to do. I had been attempting to hold my laughter in ever since I caught sight of Edwards face when he answered my dad right before he stalked out. Now I couldn't hold it in any longer and I burst out in practically hysterical laughter.

"Bella, Bella!!! Are you alright? What's wrong?" My worried angel begged of me yet again.

"Ha..." gasp "your" gasp "Face!!!!" "HA HA HA HA!!!!" I burst out again Edward just looked at me like I was crazy.

"Carlisle, are you sure she's ok?" He asked of his father, getting more and more worried by the second.

"Edward" gasp "I'm fine" deep breath "Your face was just soo funny, it was like you were trying to hypnotize Charlie!" Edward gave me another worried glance, so I reached up quickly and kissed him fervently on his cold, wonderful lips. I could tell he was surprised but he didn't move to restrain me, so I figured while I was embarrassing myself in front of my 'soon to be' family, I might as well make it worth my while. I crushed myself to his stone body, molding myself to him. His hands ran through my hair, down my cheeks, he pulled his lips away from mine only to kiss along my jaw and down my neck to the base of my throat. He stopped there and laughed; his cold breath tickled me and made me dizzy at the same time.

"Edward, you better stop there. She'll faint again in 3 seconds if you don't" Alice chimed "Besides we need to talk to you and Bella before we leave for the night". Immediately Edward removed his grasp from me, and settled me in his lap again. I was almost as happy here as I was a second ago. I felt my head spinning and realized Alice had been right.

"Bella, Bella, Bella, what AM I going to do with you?" Edward asked, slightly exasperated, as he kissed my hair and stroked my cheek with his hand.

"OK love birds, let's get down to business" Alice said slightly annoyed now.

"OK, so you heard the plan. Bella you are staying home, Edward will "come over" to "observe" you tomorrow. Charlie will go to work as normal. Bella you need to rest, drink fluids, and take Tylenol for the pain, I'm sure Edward will make sure you comply" Carlisle said giving his son a serious look. Edward smiled back smugly, I could tell he was going to abuse this power tomorrow, but I guess as long as I was with him and not at school I should enjoy it.

"Yes, thank you Carlisle. I really appreciate the help with Charlie." I said fervently, smiling at him.

"No problem Bella, you are family and we want to take care of you" Carlisle smiled back at me. "Ok, with those orders in mind" Carlisle said sending another stern look at Edward and I "sleep well Bella, take care, call if you need anything. Edward, take care of her, I know you will".

"Goodnight Bella, Edward!! Have Fun!!!" Alice trailed off suggestively. I blushed of course, Edward growled at her, but just smiled down at me, kissing my hair again.

"Goodnight dears, Edward, let her get some rest." Esme said maternally

"Goodnight, Bella, sorry again Edward" Jasper said simply before closing the door behind the retreating family.

"Oh good, now we're alone" I said suggestively. I turned around and planted another kiss on my love's cold lips. He was surprised again, but didn't react with quite the same intensity. He gently kissed me back, his lips moving softly against mine. His hands came up my arms, making me shiver a little. I felt him smile at that. His strong cold hands continued up my arms and then lightly traced my collar bones. I felt myself trembling and my head started spinning again. Edward moved his lips along my jaw and said into the hollow beneath my ear:

"Breathe Bella; I don't want you passing out on me again. You nearly gave me a heart attack tonight! Which is a hard task for someone with a dead heart I may remind you". I took a deep breath and then moaned. He was still tracing my collar bones deftly with his long, cold, graceful fingers. He took my face in his hands and look deeply into my eyes….

EPOV (A/N- I know it seems like a really weird place to switch POV's but I needed this part in Edwards perspective)

"Bella, I love you, with all my being, I can't imagine loosing you again! Please, please take better care of yourself" I said as intensely as possible without scaring her. I know I had promised Alice I wouldn't talk to her about it, but I couldn't help it... She didn't seem to realize how much she means to me, and how much it hurts me when she gets hurt. I don't know how to explain it better. Before I could think anything further on the matter, Bella reached up and planted another kiss on my lips, this one singular and left me leaning in ready for more. She laughed

"Edward, it was an accident! I really was trying to be careful for you; I realize how worried you get. I used 3 times as much shaving cream as needed trying to be careful! Please don't be mad__"

"Bella! How absurd are you that you think I'm mad at you?" I demanded. Seeing the hurt in her eyes, I berated myself and then carefully cradled her in my arms so that I could see her face. My thumb stroked away her tears. "Bella, I'm not mad at you, I'm just worried... I thought that maybe you didn't realize how much I care for you. How much it hurts me, when you are hurt. But apparently you do... I'm sorry for underestimating you." She got that cute tiger-ish/kitten fury that I love so much on her face, she slapped my face lightly, I feigned being hurt. She laughed, and she grabbed my hand and brought it t her lips, she kissed it lightly before placing it on her forehead, which was hot. Hmm I thought Carlisle told me that she didn't have a temperature. I better check it again... Hmm how to without getting my love angry at me again…..

"Edward?" she asked, I could hear the worry in her voice. Oh crud, she must have read my face. "Thank you, for everything. I love you more than anything in the world, more than my own life" I choked at that statement. "Well, it's true!" she said sternly dropping my hand and taking my face in her hands. "Please! When will you realize that I love you just as much as you love me?" I heard her edit something out, I think I knew what it was and I frowned at that. She started to say something else, but put my finger to her lips to stop her.

"I promise Bella, I know... I just can't help worrying about you. But let's stop this talk for tonight shall we? Just bask in each other's company and rest. You had a big night! Sleep my angel, dream happy dreams" of me "I'll be here in the morning, and we will spend a wonderful day together". I started humming her lullaby as I got off the bed, pulled back the sheets, and laid her carefully down. Then I tucked the sheets in around her before carefully climbing on top of the quilt and taking her in my arms again. I felt her relax as she drifted off to sleep. Wow… she never goes this easily... She must have really been exhausted today… I couldn't wait for tomorrow! I got her to myself all day long! I let thoughts of the coming day fill my mind as I watched my love sleep.

But as she started talking, it reminded me of the evening's events. I began to brood over what Emmett and Jasper had done… I had forgiven them, but only grudgingly, only because I could feel Bella safe in my arms again… Then I thought of what Emmett had written. AUGH!!!!!!! I snarled deep in my chest. Wait, stop. I told myself. I couldn't wake up Bella, even if I meant I had to live with those despicable things Emmett texted to my innocent love. I couldn't even think them to myself…

I took a deep unnecessary breath to calm myself. Then I let my mind fall into the closest thing a vampire can get to sleep. I felt every breath my angel took, heard every word she said, yes, this was surely heaven…..

DUN-DUN-DUH!!!!!
