Don't hate me it just has to be done.
Now onto the story.

Chapter 14
EPOV
Sitting here alone with Bella. I couldn't help but think of all the doctor said yesterday. She is in a coma, a broken leg, three bruised ribs, and bad gash on her head. My poor angel is just broken. I wouldn't leave her. Everyone begged me to leave but I wasn't leaving until she did.
I heard a knock at the door and loud enough they could hear I told them to come in. I saw a older man and woman who I presumed to be Bella's parents. The man was dark haired and had a mustache. His eyes matched Bella's perfectly. The woman had shoulder length dirty blonde hair but her face was all Bella.
I stood up to introduce myself. "You must be Mr. and Mrs. Swan. I'm Edward Cullen. Bella's boyfriend." I walked up to her dad and held out my hand. He looked at it before extending his hand to shake mine.
Then he smiled at me. "Hello Edward. I'm Charles Swan but everyone calls me Charlie. We have heard a lot about you." I gave him the best smile I could.
"Hello Edward. I'm Renee. Bella speaks of you all the time." I kissed her hand showing her I was a gentleman .
"It's so nice to meet you. I wish it was under different circumstances." I moved back to Bella's side and brushed her hair back from her face.
"Edward, how long have you been here?" Charlie asked.
"Since Emmett got the call yesterday. I can't leave her."
"Son you need to go home shower, eat, and get some rest. We will call you if anything happens." He patted my shoulder.
I looked up at him hoping to express through my eyes that if I left her it would kill me. "I can't sir. I'll go and get something to eat but I won't leave the hospital. It would pain me to do so." He looked over at Renee.
"Honey we will be back. We are going to the cafeteria." She smiled at us and kissed us both on the cheek.
Sitting in the quiet café with Bella's father wasn't uncomfortable at all.
"You love her." It wasn't a question but a statement.
"I do very much. And by some miracle she loves me too, Charlie." I was trying not to lose it in front of the man who I wanted to impress.
"I know she does. Bella and I are closer than one thinks. She and I talk more than her and her mother. She told me all about you Edward. And I honestly couldn't ask for a better man to love my daughter. But son she will be disappointed you aren't taking care of yourself." I knew he was right.
"You are right I know. But what will happen if she wakes up and I'm not there. I would feel guilty and I don't want her to think I didn't care enough to stay." I rubbed my face with my hands.
"Edward I don't think she will care. Just run home shower come back. Cause no offense son and I know we just met but boy…you kind of smell." I looked up at him and saw a grin on his face. I couldn't help but smile back.
"Alright. I'll be back in 20 minutes. If anything happens-"
"I will call. I promise. Now go." I smiled and nodded.
True to my word. I was walking back into the hospital twenty minutes later.
I walked into the waiting room and stopped in my tracks. The smile that covered my face and the tears welled in my eyes as I saw my mother and father sitting with Bella's parents.
"Mom?" I croaked out. She looked up at me and I could already see she had been crying.
"My baby." She threw her arms around me and just held me. It was what I really needed. "How are you holding up?"
I held her tighter and whispered in her ear. "I'm doing okay." I pulled back and my dad was standing there and he pulled me into his arms. "Thanks for coming dad."
"No need son. We love her already."
We were pulled out of our embrace when I heard my name. "EDWARD COME QUICK SHE'S WAKING UP."
My breath caught in my throat and I was running faster than I should have been in a hospital but I just didn't care. My angel was waking up.
I pushed past Emmett and was by her side in no time. I saw her eyelids move. "Bella? I need you to open them beautiful eyes Angel. For me. Come back to me." I kissed her hand and I felt it.
She squeezed my hand. "Edward?" Her weak voice croaked out.
"Yes my love open your eyes baby." And she did.
"Don't cry my love." She whispered. I didn't even know I was crying. I was just so happy she was back and safe.
"They are happy tears baby. I have missed you. You had me so worried. Do you need anything?" She smiled a small smile at me.
"Some water would be good." I told Emmett to go get the doctor while I moved her bed to her sitting up and let her sip some water.
"Edward I love you." I gently pressed my lips to hers.
"My love. I love you more than the birds love to sing. More than the sun loves to shine. You are my world."
I heard sniffles and looked behind me. Everyone was standing there. "Baby you have some visitors." I went to move back so everyone could see but Bella grabbed my hand. So I just sat beside the bed and watched people visit.
Seeing Bella and her parents made me smile. She loved them and they loved her. Charlie was sitting on the bed by Bella's head rubbing his hand over her head. While Renee sat near her hand and held it.
"Bella don't you dare scare us like that again." Charlie chastised.
Bella smiled. "I have to do something to keep you on your toes old man." She smiled.
Charlie smiled and wiped away a tear from his eye. "I love you Bells."
"Me too daddy."
They visited before saying they were going back to the beach house to rest and fix supper.
My parents were next in visiting. I loved seeing my family and Bella's getting along. My mother kissed Bella's forehead. "Dear you gave us quite a scare. I do believe Edward hasn't left but 20 minutes to shower."
TRAITOR! "Mom!" She looked over at me with a smug smile. Bella on the other hand…glared at me. And my dad, well he had this 'your in trouble' look.
"Edward Anthony Cullen. You mean to tell me you have stayed the entire time?" I felt like I was in major trouble so instead of verbally answering, I just nodded.
"Edward. We will talk more about this alone. I promise you that."
Uh oh. Thanks a lot mom.
Reviews are loved! Let me know what you think!
Hugs and Love
