Just letting you know, this chapter jumps around a bit.
Enjoy!
Chapter 31
BPOV
It was two hours before Carlisle came out through the doors. I shot up, Edward right behind me. His family gathered behind us, anxiously waiting for the news on my daughter. I had convinced Charlie to stay at work and Renee to stay in Florida, mostly for Edward's sake, but I had to keep them updated. I really didn't need Edward to leave my side.
"Carlisle, how is she?" I asked, fearing the worst.
He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. My blood ran cold and my heart started beating a million milers per minute. The tears were already coming down my face before he even spoke.
"She had some head damage. A couple of ribs were broken, but I got them patched up. She has bruises and some internal bleeding, but I stopped that. She's lucky. Physically, she's fine. But…." he trailed off.
"What are you blocking from me, Carlisle?" Edward asked harshly. I would have scolded him, but I was too worried for what he was trying to block from Edward.
Carlisle stared at his son for a minute until he took another breath and bowed his head in a defeated manner.
"She's in a coma."

I felt myself falling and falling until I hit something hard. At first, everything hurt. Then, it stopped. I just laid there for a few minutes until I heard someone calling my name. I had never heard the voice before, but I felt that I should know it.
"Sophie! Wake up!" it sounded like a boy's voice.
I managed to get my eyes open. I blinked a few times to clear my blurry vision. I looked up and my green eyes met brown ones.
The boy looked my age, and strangely, a version of what I would look like if I was a boy. His hair was bronze and his skin was pale. But he held most features that Daddy held. The way his jaw curved and the shape of his nose. But those eyes, they were definitely Mommy's eyes.
With a small smile on my face, I realized exactly who this strange boy was.
"Sammie!" I exclaimed.
Sammie smiled at me.
"Hello, Sophie."
BPOV
I sat by my baby's side, holding her hand. I haven't moved from her side since the day of the accident. It was almost three weeks ago my life came crumbling down. My baby had been in a coma for three weeks.
I should have known my life couldn't be as perfect as I wanted it to be. I had an amazing fiancé, a wonderful daughter, a loving family ready to accept me to be one of them. Everything was perfect, until it all caught up to me at once.
She had weekly visitors, mostly the Cullens and Charlie a few times, but mostly me and Edward. I managed to get Renee to stay down in Florida, but it wasn't an easy task.
Edward stayed by my side, but our relationship had a continuous strain on it. Edward worried about both me and Sophie, but I was more worried about Sophie rather than myself. She was the one on hospital bed, fighting for her life.
Edward would go to school each day to pick up our homework then bring it back here. Sometimes, I would do it, sometimes Edward would do it for me.
"Bella," Edward sighed. Here we go again.
"Bella, you need to eat," he said. I rolled my eyes.
"I'm not hungry," I mumbled.
"Not eating isn't going to make her better, Bella. You need to eat. It's not healthy," Edward said angrily.
We usually managed to stop ourselves from fighting before, but the stress was catching up with us. There was no stopping this time.
"Don't you think I know that. Do you really think I care about my health when our daughter is dying right before us? Do you not even care about our daughter?" I yelled at him, all my emotions I held inside for so long leaking through.
"Of course I do! But both of you being in the hospital won't help anyone!" he yelled back.
"You don't have to me waste away. You can leave. I'm not making you stay here! Just leave!" I yelled, instantly regretting the words, but I couldn't stop myself.
"No, I'm not leaving. You and Sophie are everything to me! If I have a limited time with her, I'm spending every second I have by her side!"
It was silent after that. I was completely numb until his words caught up to me. A limited time.
I felt myself break. All the emotions I had held up came rushing to the surface.
I started sobbing, wrapping my arms around my body to hold myself together. Cold arms surrounded me, doing the job for me though.
"I just want her to wake up. I want my baby back," I sobbed into his chest. I felt him kiss my hair.
"Me, too, love. Me, too," he whispered.

"I've missed you, Sammie," I said, hugging my brother.
"I've missed you, too, Sophie," he said.
"Why did you have to go away?" I asked.
He smiled a sad smile. He pulled his shirt up and showed me a scar centered between his belly button and heart.
"The glass remember? It hit me."
I looked down. "Oh yeah."
"How are Mom and Dad? I see they found each other again."
I smiled.
"They're good. Oh, Sammie, I wish you could meet Daddy! He's so great. He makes Mommy happy. I'm his little princess! He's wonderful! The best daddy anyone could ever have."
Sammie smiled another sad smile.
"One day," he said.
I gave him a confused look, but he distracted me, telling me to race with him. He won, of course, because he's older than me by two minutes. We fell down laughing and looked up at the sky. I didn't know where I was, but I liked it here. I sighed as Sammie wrapped an arm around me.
"You got to go back, Soph," Sammie said.
"Why? I like it here. I miss you," I argued.
"I know, but Mom and Dad need you."
"Can you come back with me, Sammie? Mommy and Daddy will be so happy to see you again! They miss you."
"I miss them, too. But I can't right now. It's not time yet. Don't worry, I'll see you all one day."
My eyes suddenly got wide as I thought of something.
"Am I dead right now?" I asked. Sammie laughed.
"No, you're in a coma. There was an accident and you got injured badly. But you're mostly healed now. Mom and Dad are just waiting for you to wake up," he said.
"How long have I been in a coma?"
"Three weeks. You need to go back soon. Mom and Dad miss you. They've been fighting. They need you back."
"But I don't want to leave you. I just got you back!"
"I told you, Soph. I'm going to see you and Mom and Dad soon. I'll be back one day. But you got to keep it a secret. I want it to be a surprise for Mom and Dad," as he said this, he started fading.
"Wait, Sammie!" I screamed, reaching for him, but my hand went straight through him.
"Tell them I love them. I'll see you soon, Sophie."
When he finished his sentence, he was completely gone.
As soon as he was gone, I was falling again. Then I could see a bright light. It was really bright, much too bright. Then I heard the voice of an angel.
"Please wake up, Sophie," the angel whispered.
I tried to move my eyelids to do what the angel said. It was hard at first, but then it became easier. My vision was blurry at first, but after blinking a couple of times, I could see.
I looked down my body to see brown hair cascaded over my arm. I recognized the hair as Mommy's.
"Mommy," I croaked. My throat felt unbelievably dry.
Her head shot up, her brown eyes wide.
"Oh, baby!" she started kissing every inch of my face. Then she stood up and headed towards the door.
I wanted to tell her not to leave me, but my throat felt dry. I didn't worry too long because she opened the door and paused.
"Edward! Edward, she's awake!" she said out of the door.
A second later, Daddy was at my side. His reaction mimicked Mommy's.
"It's so nice to see those beautiful green eyes again, baby girl," he said. He reached up and stroked my hair out of my face as Mommy came over to my other side.
"I saw Sammie," I told my parents.
They both froze, looked at each other, then back at me.
"That's great, baby," Mommy said, something I couldn't identify lying under her tone.
"He says he loves you both," I said. Daddy laid his hand on mine.
"And we love him," he said.
"I love you, Mommy and Daddy," I said.
"We love you, too, Sophie," Mommy said, kissing my forehead while reaching for Daddy's hand.
I was glad I was finally back with my parents. But Sammie's words kept repeating in my head over and over again.
I'll be back one day.
So...There it is! She didn't die! See, ya just got to have faith in me! I hope to have the next chapter up soon! Do not ask about Sammie, because I'm not giving anything away! :) I told you a while ago I wasn't finished with him! So enjoy and just be patient! Review!
