A/N: Well, we are up to the very beginning of spring break. Today is the day the group will begin their vacation to Florida. I hope you all enjoy how their vacation gets set up. Please remember to vote. There are only a couple more chapters until May.

Sorry, it has been a few days since my last update, but I have been busy watching my adorable nieces and packing my things to head home. I hopefully will have a full week to work on this story before I start back at work.

Now, back to the story.

DISCLAIMER: I am not Stephenie Meyer. I do no own TWILIGHT or its characters. However, this is my story and I hope that you will read and enjoy it.

BPOV

April 1

I woke this morning to the same white hospital room. The monitors were still hooked up, keeping track of my heart rate. The IV still hung beside my bed feeding me some medication to keep the pain subdued. I looked around the room and noticed that the room was empty except for the chair beside my bed. Edward was still sitting there, asleep. I was shocked to say the least about Edward's presence. He looked so peaceful, but I was surprised that the doctors and nurses had let him stay with me.

Just as I was about to say something to Edward, the door opened, and a gorgeous, blond doctor came walking into my room. He looked over to see that I was awake and then noticed that Edward was asleep on the chair beside me. He started chuckling to himself and shaking his head slightly. "Well, I guess he meant what he said," he said mostly to himself.

"Um, excuse me, doctor. What are you talking about?" I asked, trying to sound as positive and pleasant as possible.

"I'm sorry, Bella. I didn't mean to sound negative. I was just commenting on my nephew's determination to stay with you last night. Edward was told by everyone, including his basketball coach, that visiting hours were over and that he would see you this morning at the airport, but he said that he wasn't going to let you wake up alone. He really cares for you. Now, shall we see how you and your arm are doing?" he stated with a warm smile.

"I'm sorry, did you say that Edward was your nephew?" I asked him. I felt bad, he looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen him.

"Yes. My wife is Elizabeth's sister. We met you at their house on Thanksgiving. I believe that you were a little distracted by something that happened between you and Edward that day, so I'm not surprised you don't remember me. Esme however, was enchanted by you. She said you were a wonderful addition to the holiday. I'm Carlisle Cullen, by the way. It's a pleasure to meet you Bella." He reached out his hand to shake my good hand, and then looked over the monitors to check the levels.

"It's a pleasure to meet you again Carlisle, I mean, Doctor Cullen." I shook his hand and looked back at Edward to watch him while he slept.

"Please, Bella. Call me Carlisle. From what I hear, you're practically family Well, Bella, everything looks good. I'm going to get you a prescription for some pain medication. Take a pill ONLY when you are in pain. You don't need to take it with food, but drink plenty of water with it, okay?"

I nodded my head to show that I understood what he was saying. Although, my arm really wasn't as sore as it had been yesterday. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to take any of the pain pills, but I promised to act responsibly anyway. Carlisle walked out of my room to get my prescription. I continued to look over at Edward. He looked so peaceful, like an angel while he slept. He was smiling as he dreamed. I noticed that a lock of his hair had fallen across his eyes. I reached out without thinking, and moved the lock of hair to behind his ear. Unfortunately, this caused him to stir and wake up. He opened his eyes and looked over at me where my hand was still slightly raised.

I looked sheepishly at him as he woke up. "I'm sorry. You just had hair that had fallen into your eyes. I thought I would move it for you. Sorry to wake you up."

He looked up at me and smiled. "It's okay Bella. I wasn't supposed to even be here. I snuck in through the window last night after everyone had left. Carlisle, I'm sure will be in soon to yell at me."

"Actually Edward, he was already in here and he was laughing when he saw you. He just went to get me some pain pills for when we leave on vacation."

Edward seemed shocked but smiled back at me. "Do you need anything? I could go get you something to eat if you're hungry. I could get you something to drink if you're thirsty. Seriously, if there is anything you want, it's your's. I want to make this up to you."

"Edward? What are you talking about? You have nothing to make up for." I couldn't understand why Edward would feel guilty for anything.

"The reason your arm was dislocated is because I jumped on Mike. If I had just controlled my temper…"

"Mike would have just hurt me in one way or another. You kept me from being hit by him, or worse. I don't know what he would have done to me if I would have gone with him alone. I owe you a lot for getting him to let go of me and keeping me from being alone with him." I reached out and held Edward's hand that was lying on my bed.

"Bella, you are so absurd. I will make up for you spending the night in the hospital. I promise you that."

"Edward, if you really want to make it up to me, just promise me that you'll help me have fun this next week. I can't really do much at the parks, so I will probably be boring to hang out with. I could probably hang out with some of the parents during that time, but, it'd be more fun to be with you guys." I didn't want to tell Edward that as long as I was with him, I would be happy. I doubted that he would be happy to know I still had feelings for him.

"Bella, you are never boring. I'll be by your side for as long as you want me there." Edward held my hand tightly, as if he was reassuring himself as well as me.

"Does forever work for you?" I wanted to ask, but I kept it to myself. Instead, I settled for smiling at Edward while the door opened and Carlisle walked back inside.

"Ah, I see Sleeping Beauty has woken up. Did you sleep well Edward?" Carlisle smirked down at Edward as he spoke, showing that he was just joking.

"Well, unlike Sleeping Beauty, I wasn't awoken by a kiss, I was awoken by an angel who is way to good to me." He smiled over at me, and I smiled back at him.

However, the moment was broken when the door burst open. Alice and her parents burst into the room. Alice was by my bed within a blink of an eye. She was whispering my ear quickly. "Don't worry, Bella. I went over to your house last night and saw that you hadn't packed yet. So I packed your suitcases for you. I even packed your carry on full of the books that I know you will want to spend the flight getting lost in. However, you will not be allowed to spend the entire vacation reading, so I'm giving you a fair warning."

Edward's parents were sternly speaking to their son about spending the night in my hospital room. He kept glancing over at me, and I did my best to give him an encouraging smile without looking too obvious about my true feelings. Soon, we were joined by the Hales and my parents and Emmett. Carlisle was with my father signing me out of the hospital and making sure my parents had his phone number. Alice kicked everyone out of my room besides Rose and my mother a few moments later.

Alice quickly pulled out an outfit for me to get dressed into. It looked new, but I was still a little sleepy, so I didn't make a comment on it. Rose, Alice, and my mother helped dress me as my arm and shoulder was still a little sore. When I was dressed, Alice let everyone back in. Carlisle insisted I was taken out of the hospital by wheelchair. So, Edward came up behind me after I was situated in the chair. He pushed me at a reasonable pace towards where two airport shuttle vans were waiting to take our entire group to meet our flight.

My parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hale, and Emmett and Rose rode in one van. The Masens, Jasper, and I rode in the other. Edward kept his promise and sat beside me. He handed me my carry on, just in case I wanted one of my books for the van ride. I was shocked that the ride to the airport took very little time. Soon we were loading carts full of luggage and standing in line at the ticket counters to get our boarding passes. The parents went to the counter to get each family's tickets. Edward and I talked quietly in our own little group. Jasper and Alice were doing the same thing, as were Emmett and Rose.

Soon the parents were holding boarding passes out to each of us. We stood and made our way over to security. After our group made it through all the detectors, we were walking quickly to our gate. We didn't have a lot of spare time to get to the gate because of my field trip to the hospital last night. When it came time to board the plane we all sat quickly in our seats and waited for the plane to take off. I was seated between my brother and father. My mother was across the aisle beside Mr. and Mrs. Masen. In the row in front of us, Mr. and Mrs. Hale sat beside Rose. Jasper, Alice, and Edward sat across from them.

Luckily, the captain soon turned off the seat belt sign and we were able to move around and switch seats. Mr. and Mrs. Hale took Emmett and my seats. The parents sat in one row and the kids sat in front of them. Emmett and Rose sat beside me on one side of the aisle with Edward sitting beside Alice and Jasper. Edward and I were able to talk across the aisle, but for the most part, I rested and read my book. Our five hour flight seemed to fly by, and we were soon landing in Orlando, Florida. The captain came on to tell us that the temperature outside was over 80 degrees. When we left Washington this morning it was just under 60. I was looking forward to soaking up as much sun as possible on this trip.

The parents went in one direction to retrieve rental cars while the kids were left to gather all the bags. We got a few carts and soon all the luggage was loaded and ready to go. Edward grabbed my carry on and carried it out while pushing a cart of luggage towards where our parents had pulled the rental cars up to the curb. It didn't take that long to load bags into the car and soon we were driving to the hotel ready to start our vacation.

I was so excited to be somewhere warm with the people I loved most that I was bouncing in my seat as if I were Alice. I could just tell that this trip was going to be a great time and maybe, just maybe, something special would happen for all of us during this week in the sun.
