Previously: Then suddenly just before Carlisle could pull the switch a big gasp came from Edward's mouth and his eyes fluttered open.
"Edward!" I squealed racing to his side.
Bella's POV:
"Oh my God! Edward! Your awake!" I exclaimed as everyone joined me around his bed. There were lots of people saying basically the same thing I was.
He smiled his crooked smile at me and I erupted into tears, "I'm so glad your okay! We were so worried, oh Edward I love you so much!"
Edward's eyes were now widely open but no one had given him the chance to speak yet. Carlisle then said, "Edward! How are you feeling?"
It took him a second to reply but when he did he said, "Sore." His voice was crackly, I'm sure it pained him to speak.
Carlisle took his pulse and checked all the monitors. "That truly was a miracle. Edward, you were seconds away from death but now, now your heart beat is regular and your pulse is back to normal, I don't even understand though I'm very grateful!"
Edward nodded with a smile.
"We'd all been so worried! Thank god you're okay!" Esme gushed with Alice and Emmett nodding ferociously next to her telling him how much they worried about him.
Edward then said with a quiet voice, "I'm sorry for making you all worry."
He was such a gentleman, too much for his own good. Even when he was the one in the hospital bed after almost dying he was the one apologizing.
"Edward, no need for you to apologize! This isn't your fault, you have nothing to be sorry for." I told him. He nodded, "Does it hurt to talk?" I asked him.
"A little." He told me, "How long have I been in here?" he asked no one specifically.
Alice answered, "A little over a month. We were worried sick but I kept telling them you would be okay! I had a feeling, plus you're a fighter." She said with a wink.
He laughed, "It doesn't feel like that long. It feels like the accident was yesterday." He then looked at me with realization, "Your okay right, because you were in the car with me. Are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine, just some burns on my legs but nothing worse than that." I told him.
"Good. I'm glad your okay." He said, still with a quiet voice but with a big smile.
"Okay guys, as much as I would love for you all to stay I have to get some nurses in here with me to do a thorough check on him." Carlisle said. I looked over Edward quickly before nodding. Edward's casts were now off except for the one on his arm—the time he spent asleep had healed his broken bones.
Carlisle made us leave so that he and the other doctors could make sure everyone was okay with Edward. Esme, Alice, Emmett and I went downstairs into the waiting room only to be bombarded by Jasper and Rosalie.
"How's he doing?" Rosalie asked in a frantic voice.
"A nurse called us earlier." Jasper said practically mimicking Rosalie's voice except a boy version of that. They both looked like they had been crying.
"They wouldn't let us in his room!" Rosalie told us.
I smiled a huge smile, "He's awake!"
"He is?" Rosalie said a big smile spreading across both her and Jasper's faces, "But why did the nurse tell us something was wrong?"
Emmett went over to Rosalie and put his arm around her, "They were going to have to take him off life support," Jasper gasped—Jasper is Edward's best friend. "But just before they pulled the plug he took in a big gust of breathe and his eyes opened!"
"When can we see him?" Jasper asked.
Alice was now over with Jasper, "A bunch of the doctors have to make sure he's okay, and then we will be aloud in again."
Everyone walked down to the food court in the hospital and we grabbed a booth. We talked on and on about how glad we were Edward was okay and how terrified we were when he was sick. Every was just ecstatic that Edward was going to be okay.
After eating we went out to the waiting room to wait until Carlisle said we could go back in. Finally after like a half hour of waiting a young nurse came out and said, "Isabella Swan?"
I stood up and said, "Right here."
She smiled at me and said, "Um, Edward Masen asked specially for you to go see him."
"Just me?" I said glancing back to the rest of the family.
She wore a soft smile and said, "He just wants to talk to you alone for a little bit, the rest of the family will be aloud to go in soon." I nodded and followed the nurse to his room. She left once we got to the door and I proceeded to go in.
I opened the door and was greeted with Edward saying, "Hey love," In a quiet voice.
"Hi." I responded closing the door and going to his side. "How are you feeling?"
"Better than when I was in the coma." He joked, "Not that I can remember any of that. I'm truly sorry for causing you worry."
I laughed, "Like I said, not your fault!"
He nodded, "I'm still sorry," he then patted the bed next to him and said, "Sit."
"Yes sir!" I said with a fake salute. He laughed and I laughed along with him.
After a few seconds I said, "Thank you for the note."
It took him a few seconds to remember what I was talking about then he said, "Oh yeah! I forgot about that." He lifted his eyebrows, "What did you think of it?"
"I loved it. Well not the fact that you thought something was going to happen and didn't tell me, but I liked the note besides that."
"I'm sorry for not telling you. I didn't want to worry you." He told me.
I took his hand and said, "I return all the feeling in that letter. Every single thing you said about me, I feel the same way about you. I feel the electric current running through me when I touch you too," to show effect I grabbed his hand, "And the question you asked about soul mates? Edward, you are my soul-mate, I just know it. No ifs, ands, or buts on the subject."
"I'm glad you feel the same way, I really do." He smiled.
Suddenly I heard the door creak open and in came that snooty receptionist that I had to tell I was getting married to Edward just so she'd let me in.
"Oh sorry I didn't mean to interrupt you and your—"she started.
"Shut it." I interrupted under my breathe trying to be quiet enough so that Edward wouldn't hear me. My face got bright red I'm sure.
"Shut what?" she said with an evil smirk, I have no clue what I did to her to make her hate me so much! I mean, its not like I know the girl, she just must dislike people randomly. "Why wouldn't you want me to continue my sentence?"
"Because I don't." I mumbled, Edward was now looking at us with a confused expression on his face.
"What's going on?" Edward asked.
"Nothing," I quickly replied.
"Oh. Hi Edward, sorry for being rude, I'm very glad you are awake and I just came in to congratulate you two on your upcoming wedding." She glanced at me with another evil smirk.
"Wedding?" Edward asked looking at the receptionist and me.
"Yeah, Bella here told me you two were getting married! Congrats!" and with that, she left us alone.
Edward was still looking at me and I was still sitting next to him on the bed, before he could say anything I quickly blurted out all in one breathe, "She wouldn't let me in to see you unless I was a blood relative, legal adopted family, wife, or fiancée and I was dumb and didn't even think about saying anything about Carlisle so I just blurted out that I was your fiancée because I really, really, really wanted to see you and she was being really—" I was cut off with Edward's finger placed firmly against my mouth.
"Marry me." he said.
I was caught off guard, "Wh-wh-what?"
"Marry me," he repeated, "I already know I want to share the rest of my life with you." He was completely serious about this too. I hesitated but he continued, "I know we haven't really known each other for a very long time but I love you more than you can even imagine, I know you were caught off guard by this, and believe me I wasn't planning on asking until that girl came in and gave me the idea, but Bella, I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
I still didn't answer, I was in complete shock, I was afraid if I should try to answer that my voice would crack Edward continued with saying, "So whad'ya say?" he now wore one of his famous crooked grins.
"I-I-I s-s-say y-y-yes!" I told him and leaned down to give him a kiss. I was very careful not to move his arm too much; I didn't want to cause any more damage than there already was.
I raised my head from the kiss to be greeted by Edward wearing a huge grin. "Really?"
"Absolutely! I want to spend my life with you too. I truly love you Edward!"
He propped his bed so he was sitting upright and I bent in and gave him a huge hug, I'd never thought this day would come so quickly, I'd always been opposed to young marriages but if the young kids getting married were as much in love as Edward and I, then I have no problem with it. I guess I just never really felt the glory of actually getting engaged so I didn't know the true happiness it brought.
I leaned my forehead into his as out noses slightly rubbed against each other, "I love you so much Isabella Marie Swan. More than you can imagine." He told me staring into my eyes.
"I love you too Edward Anthony Masen. Forever and Always." I told him getting lost in his gorgeous topaz eyes.
