Bella's POV

2 months later

My heart still ached to even look at Nessie. It had been 2 months since we found her and 2 months that she had been in a coma. The doctors were trying to prepare me for the worst but I couldn't hear it. If I wholeheartedly refused to accept it then it wouldn't happen. That was the thought that was getting me through the long days when I sat by her side, holding her tiny hand and talking to her and the thought that got me through the even longer nights when I had to go home to attempt to sleep. I rarely slept for more than 2 hours at a time though, the nightmares wouldn't go away. As well as the dreams, the memory of the last night I saw her healthy plus the guilt that hadn't left me since that night kept me awake. I remember so clearly thinking that something wasn't right but I didn't act on it. I should have gone back inside and cancelled the dinner with Edward until someone else could look after Nessie. If I had done that, she wouldn't be here now, lying in a hospital bed in a deep coma and covered in bruises and bandages. It was my fault. It was all my fault.

I spoke to Nessie all day when I was with her and today was no different. I was brushing her hair and telling her all about the lovely things Alice brought for her room at home when I heard a gentle tap on the door behind me. I turned and called for the caller to come in. I wasn't surprised to see Carlisle standing there; as well as her grandfather, he was Nessie's doctor.

"Hello Bella, how you doing?"

He spoke in a soft tone and I smiled a little in response.

"I'm...coping. Is there anything new about Nessie?"

He sighed

"I think you should come into my office Bella, we have some things to...discuss"

My stomach clenched and I tried to convince myself that it could be a good thing. It wasn't helping though; my mind was screaming this isn't good! This isn't good I turned back to Nessie and told her that I would be right back before following Carlisle into his office. I was surprised to see Edward there already, sitting on a chair in front of Carlisle's desk, so deeply immersed in his thoughts he didn't notice our entrance. I took a deep breath and sat down on the chair beside him and gripped his hand tightly. He looked up and the expression on his face was so heartbreaking I wanted to cry. His eyes were watering and it was clear from the redness that he had been crying before I came in. I felt my breath catch in my throat as I saw the pain in his eyes and his trembling lip made him look like a child who needed to be comforted. I stroked his face with my hand and told him that it would all be okay though I just wanted to break down and sob with him.

"Bella..."

He started to tell me something but Carlisle came into the room and spoke over him

"No Edward. I think it would be best if she heard it from a doctor"

His voice was quiet but was still laden with sadness. Edward sighed

"I suppose you're right"

Carlisle went and sat down across from us with Nessie's file in his hand. He took a deep breath and looked straight at me. I tried to think positively but Edward crying was a bad sign and the voice that I had been trying to silence for so long was getting louder and louder until it became a bellowing in my head. Its over.

"Bella...we did another scan today and...it's not looking good. Nessie's brain activity is lower than usual and...that's a bad sign." He took a deep breath "We think it would be best if her life-support machine was switched off. I'm sorry Bella"

I didn't- couldn't– speak. All I could do was shake my head. The reality of Carlisle's words began sinking in and I knew deep down inside me that it would be over. No! I couldn't accept it! She would survive- there must be another way. There had to be. She was my little Nessie and she couldn't...die.

"Carlisle there must be another way."

I wasn't aware of the fact that I was crying until Edward gently wiped a tear from my eye. Carlisle looked like he was close to tears himself.

"Bella, there are no other options. A few coma patients respond to new methods but with Nessie being so young and her condition so bad we think it would be best if we..."

"New methods?"

"Yes a few patients have responded to methods such as animal response where an animal somehow encourages brain function but the chance of that working with Nessie is minimal Bella."

"Isnt it worth a try?"

I was clinging to any hope.

"I'm really not sure Bella..."

I was started to get angry, it was like he wanted her to die.

"No Carlisle! We're her parents and want everything tried on her"

He looked at Edward who nodded in agreement with me. He sighed

"Well I will speak to the other doctors but If you're really serious about this then I suggest that you find an animal you think Nessie will respond too"

I smiled weakly at him before gripping Edwards hand and pulling him up with me. I ran into Nessie and kissed her on the head

"I will make you better Nessie. I promise"

In the pet shop

Walking around the pet shop I realised that I must have looked at every small animal in the shop at least three times and I hadn't found anything that I thought Nessie might like. I wanted to cry, there must be something. Edward called me over from the dog section. I frowned. A dog? Well it was worth a try. I found him at the back with the puppies. They were all so...lively. All but one. I was immediately drawn to one russet-colour puppy at the back of the cage all by himself. I bent down to pick him up and I looked at him. He looked....sad but some part of me instantly fell in love with him. He was perfect. I looked at his collar. Jake

Back at the hospital

We went into Nessie's room and found that the rest of the family were already in there. They had all been crying- that was obvious and only Alice looked the slightest bit optimistic. This would work. I knew it would. It had to. I smiled nervously at everybody and took Jake out of his carry cage. Esme cooed- he was a cute dog. I went over to Nessie and bent down beside her.

"Nessie. This is Jake. He wanted to meet you"

He started to leap around in my arms and I struggled to keep control of him. He licked Nessie on the face and I pulled him away. Suddenly, her little finger twitched. I was sure it did.

"Did anyone else see that?"

I was met with confused expressions.

"Nothing happened Bella"

Then I saw it again, this time her whole hand moved and Jake leapt up and down excitedly. Everyone looked shocked and I smiled widely, it was working. Her eyelids started moving and her nose wrinkled. I ran over, nearly kicking Jake in the process.

"Nessie? Can you hear me sweetheart?"

She mumbled and I cried with happiness

"Mummy?"

It was quiet and hoarse but she definitely spoke. I started sobbing and her eyes opened. Edward rushed over and went on her other side, gripping her hand. She smiled at him.

"Daddy?"

Edward started crying again. This time happily though. I wanted to just hug Nessie and never let her go. She would be fine. Our story would have a happy ending and I had Jake to thank for it.

Did you like the ending? Let me know =D
