Sorry this one is short and it is kind of a filler but it's a means to an end.

Edward and I had several things to decide on and my mom came to stay with me after the incident. We had to decide if we wanted the baby's remains or not and where to go from there. Edward's family is Catholic and I know for some people it is a big deal about these things. I really had no opinion at all but the doctors assured me that I was just depressed. My mom wanted a funeral for family and close friends. I just wanted to forget about it.

I had been stuck in bed for three days listening to them argue over decisions about a funeral and I couldn't escape it because I wasn't allowed to leave my room. I convinced them to go get some food in the cafeteria and I paged my nurse. "What can I help you with?" My room and phone were already set as private because of Edward but I needed them to stay away too. "I was wondering if you could possibly keep them from coming back in. They are just driving me crazy and I just... I can't…" She rubbed my shoulder, "Consider it done. I know what you're going through. My family was the same when I lost my baby. They wanted to plan and talk and I just wanted to be." I sobbed just glad that someone understood.

She left me and not even ten minutes later I could hear them yelling at her. Then I heard the one word that I hoped I wouldn't "Security" she threatened them but I couldn't bring myself to care. I loved them both so much but I needed to be alone if only for a couple of hours.

Later that night Jenny, the nurse, came in to let me know she was leaving for the night but Marcus, the night nurse, said he could keep them out if I still wanted. She said Edward was sitting in the waiting room while my mom had left.

After she left I tried to sleep but it was pointless. After 45 minutes I paged Marcus to let Edward, and only Edward, in my room. He looked really pissed when he came in even though he was trying to hide it. He sat in the recliner furthest from me. "I'm sorry I had them keep you out, but you guys were driving me crazy. I love you both but it was just non-stop madness." He did speak, "Did you guys decide anything?" Still silence.

I tried to not be mad at him for giving me the silent treatment but it was so hard not to feel hurt and I just snapped, "If you're going to be a childish ass then you can go back out in the waiting room. I can enjoy the silence with or without you." He stood from his chair and I assumed he was going to leave me so I just closed my eyes not wanting to watch him walk away, but then I felt him sit on the bed and hold me.

He wiped my cheeks smearing the streams of tears I didn't even know I was letting out. He tried to rock me to calm me down but it only caused more pain and I could tell he felt worse. "Edward, just stay here with me that's enough." He kissed the top of my head, "I'm sorry your mother and I have been such a pain, but we just wanted to get your opinion on what to do." I closed my eyes, "Did you two decide on anything?" He rubbed his face with his free hand and shook his head.

It was now time for me to say what I wanted. "Ok well you're Catholic and more religious than me and my family so how about we cremate and have a gathering for our friends. No family, since it was our friends who have been here through out all of it."

He didn't speak for a while and I thought he was asleep but when I looked at him he had tears in his bloodshot eyes. "Bella I think that is the best idea. However would you mind if we sent the ashes to my parents to be kept in the family mausoleum?" A smile spread across my face as soon as he finished his question, "I think that is a very nice and loving thing to do." I wasn't going to mention that having them in our home would freak me out, so he saved me from that.

I eventually fell asleep in his arms and wasn't woken until the next morning when they brought me breakfast. Jenny told me that if all my tests were good that I would be able to leave by the end of the day. I was happy but Edward looked nervous and voiced his opinion that maybe it was too early for me to be released. My doctor assured him that I would be fine as long as I followed his instructions.

When my mom showed back up she understood why I had them banished from the room and she loved our plans. However she was disappointed that the remains would be sent to his family instead being kept here. She didn't have to say it out loud I saw it in her eyes.

Only two more chapters after this.
