Kyle and I both pulled away from each other, he held the gun shakily in his hands. He looked down from the gun to me in horror. He shook his head in disbelief.

"I wasn't going to do it Rosa. I swear, I was just scaring ya' I wasn't going to do it,"

I felt something oozing down my abdomen, I looked down. Blood was seeping through my blouse, I placed a hand over it, trying to stop it. I didn't know how I felt, maybe numb?

My neighbors started to pool out of their houses, screaming, yelling, telling people to call 911. They sounded faint, distance almost. I hit the ground with a thud. Someone had came over to me lifting my head up.

"Keep pressure on the wound," Someone had yelled.

Over all the commotion I could hear her whine and began to cry.

"M-mia," I whispered, I wanted to be with her. I couldn't leave her, not now.

I heard the sounds of the ambulance and police cars fill the night air. They're almost here.

"Rose, Rose, honey?"

I felt my eyes fighting to open, they blinked a few times to adjust to the sudden abundance of bright lights.

"Mom?" I croaked out, I was now fully awake. I tried to sit up. "Ouch!"

"Sweetie stay still, you're going to be sore for a while," She explained to me, placing a comforting hand over mind. I looked around the room, I had wires, and IV's hooked to me. I could hear and see my heart monitor beeping with every breath I took.

"Wha- what happened?" I asked shaking my head a slightly, my mind was still a little hazy.

"Baby Kyle shot you last night. It's a miracle you are still alive,-"

Mom was interrupted by my doctor walking in. He looked quite happy to see me awake.

"Ah, Mrs. Hale glad to see you up and talking, how are you feeling?"

"I feel like an old person who just got ran over by a truck," I blurted.

The doctor which I learned his name to be Dr. Cox let out a small chuckle. He came closer to me checking all my vitals, etc, etc.

"Everything seems perfectly find," He pulled up my gown to check my bullet wound a couple of inches under my chest. Dr. Cox pulled my gaze, blood caked to the material, it was freshly stitched. "Looks good, no infection, little blood leaking, it's still a bit tender so don't move to much." He informed me.

"Thanks," I smiled pushing my hair behind my ear.

"Well you get some rest, A nurse will come in a few to up your dose," Mom thanked him as he left the room.

"Where's Mia?" I questioned, I wanted to see my daughter, I needed to have her by my side.

"Your sister has her, they'll stop by along with everyone else later,"

I nodded my head understanding, hmm, I wonder what happened to Kyle. Did he flee the scene? Was he in jail?

"Kyle?" I caught my self saying out loud.

"They put him in jail for attempting murder, but they have him under watch."

"Why?" What were they watching him for.

"They've ruled him a danger to himself, he tried to kill himself after you came out of surgery."

"Knock, knock," I heard a familiar voice say. I looked to the door to see Edward there standing with a dozen flowers, and a get well soon teddy bear. He was dressed in crock, lab coat, black trousers, and a stethoscope around his neck.

"Hey," I whispered giving a small wave.

"I'll leave you two alone," Mom got up leaving the room, she shut the door behind here.

Edward came to my side pulling a seat next to me.

"How you feeling?" He asked brushing my blonde locks out of my face.

"Better then before,"

"I'm sorry,"

"For?" Why was he sorry? He didn't do anything it was all Kyle.

"I wasn't there to protect you, he almost killed you, and he could have harmed Mia," I watch his eyes began to water, tears threatening to spill over.

"I don't know what I would do if I lost you,"

"Edward, its not your fault. No one could have predicted that this was going to happen," I responded. I grabbed his hands, "Don't bang your self up because of this, I'm fine, we'll get through it together, okay?"

"Okay," He wiped away the tears before they could fall.

"Good because I'm starting to think you've gone all emotional girl on me," I joked.

Edward sobered up, shaking his head with a smile.

"Glad to see you can still crack lame jokes," He retorted. "Did you eat anything?" He asked looking at the IV in my arm.

I shook my head no, "I recently just woke up no more then an hour ago."

"Want anything?" He asked standing up. A nurse with dark down pin straight hair, and muddy brown eyes walked in.

"Hello dear," She greeted me walking to my side. "Scale of 1-10 what is your pain level?" She asked eyeing me.

"6,"

"That's good," She grabbed a tube from a trey and injected a needle into the liquid. Once the needle was full of the liquid she injected it into my IV line. "You'll feel drowsy when the meds start to kick in,"

She left the room with they trey.

"What do you want?" Edward asked again.

"Just something to drink and some fruits," I requested.

"You can't have any solid food right now, but how about a fruit smoothie?" He suggested.

"That's fine,"

"Alright give me 10 minutes," Edward gave me a quick kiss and left the room.

"Honey your dad is here," Mom came back into the room, Charlie behind her.

"Hey Dad," I smiled.

"Well look at my little fighter, Told you Renee that Rose was a strong one," He smile walking to my bed side and giving me a kiss on the cheek. "Welcome to the club," He added. Mom shot him a look slightly hitting him on his arm.

"What?" I didn't get it.

"Don't listen to your father," Mom said.

"I got shot while on the job, Jasper got shot, and now you. It seems to be a family curse," Dad joked.

"Charlie," Mom warned pouring some water in a cup, she handed it to me. I smiled at my parents bickering bringing the cup to my lips.

"Rose!" I heard a chorus of voices say.

"Hey guys!" I smiled at my family, they all filled up the room, each giving me a hug or a kiss. My room was now filled with balloons, cards, flowers, and stuffed animals.

"Here," Edward handed me my smoothie.

"Wait Edward is she allowed to drink that?" Bella asked concerned.

"Calm down Bella, its just a fruit smoothie," I told her.

"Still the same old Rose," She muttered handing Mia to me.

"Hi baby, mommy missed you," I cooed to her, kissing her chubby little cheeks. "Did you miss mommy?" I asked messing with her mop of curls on her head.

"When do you check out of here Rose?" Emmett asked wrapping a arm around Bella.

"I don't know pretty soon I guess,"

I continued to play with Mia will everyone just talked, my family ended up ordering Pizza, they ate while Bella gave me some baby food which I fed to Mia.

"Aunt Rosie look what I just drew," Carly handed me the construction paper with her drawing. It was all of us in my hospital room.

"Its for my scarp book like mommy is making," She informed me.

"Nice!"

About three hours later, everyone was still chatting up a storm and I was feeling sleepy, I wasn't the only one. Mia was out cold in my arms, Carly was passed out on a recliner, my dad was dozing off. Bella was yawning, Alice, well she was doing most of the talking. I don't know how she had so much energy stored.

"Alright guys, visiting hours are done," The nurse announced coming into my room.

"Later Rose,"

"Bye Sis,"

"Get better!"

"We'll come tomorrow,"

"Bye sweetie,"

Bella took Mia from me after I gave her a final kiss.

"Dr. Cullen you're needed in section B,"

Edward turned to me, " Bye," I whispered allowing him to give me a kiss.

"Get some rest," He ordered.
