A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING! I ONLY OWN THIS PLOT! I'm co-writing this story with Elena Rain. I hope you enjoy this chapter:


"Bella would you like to go in and see your father before they take him?" Edward asked.

Bella shook her head. "Not now. I just…I can't handle it."

"Ok, no pressure."

Edward kissed her head. "I love you Bella."

"I know. Thank you." Bella said.

Before Edward could say more he caught his family's sent.

"My family is coming."

"I really don't want to talk or see anyone."

Just as the Cullen's arrived Edward stood up blocking them from getting any closer to Bella.

"Give her some space. She's in shock, she's shut down, give her some space."

"Alice is my dad going to live?" Bella asked quietly.

"I'm watching Bella but I can't see anything."

"Maybe you should go in and talk to him. You two did have a bad fight before your left. Maybe if you just remind him that you love him and that you're out here waiting for him."

"I'm scared to go in alone."

"I'll go in with you." Edward offered.

Bella slowly nodded and headed into her father's room. She gasped at the sight. Wires and machines were everywhere, bandages covered most of his body and he had an oxygen mask covering most of his face.

"Wha-what ar-are al-all tho-those wir-wires fo-for?" Bella whimpered.

Edward held her in his arms. "None of those wires are hurting him Love. They are all helping him."

"But they look so weird!"

"I know they do Love. I know it's scary but he will be ok. He is a fighter just like you."

Bella walked over the bed and took his hand. She gasped but didn't pull back. She was used to cold hands but his hand was colder than Edward's and that scared her.

"He's so cold, colder than you."

"He'll be ok Bella I promise."

"Hi Dad, um…I don't know if you can hear me or not but um…I'm really sorry about the fight we got into. I love you very, very, much and I'll be fighting for you to live so you better do the same. I love you dad. I always have and I always will. You need to fight. Fight and come back to me. I need a father. Who's going to give me away at my wedding? Who's going to spoil my child rotten behind my back? I need a father and no offence Phil doesn't count. I need you. I need you as my father so please dad. Please come back to me. Fight your way through this and get back to me."

Just then the doctor walked in. "We need to take him now."

Bella nodded and followed Edward out of the room. "Will you scrub in Carlisle please?" Bella asked.

"If I'm allowed to Bella."

The doctor came out pushing Charlie.

"Can Dr. Cullen help?" Bella asked.

"He's not on duty but he can come assist if he would like."

Carlisle nodded and followed the doctors. Bella sighed. She felt slightly better knowing Carlisle was going to be in there. She sat down in the waiting area. How could her life possibly get any worse? Her boyfriend's worst enemy imprinted on her, and her father could die all because she willingly left the state with Jacob. The other Cullen's sat and waited with her. She didn't know how long she was going to be here but she was glad she wasn't alone. Suddenly she felt really tired. "Jasper!" she whined.

The Cullen's laughed. "You need to rest Bella. Your body is still healing from Jacob's first attack, now you need to heal from this one, plus I'm sure you didn't get much sleep when you were with Jacob so just close your eyes. We will all be here when you wake up." Esme said.

"Promise? All of you?"

"Yes, Bella all of us."

Bella nodded. She leaned her head on Edward's shoulder and let the sleep take over.

"Esme please don't take offence to this question but what are the signs of rape?"

Both Esme and Rosalie sighed. "She wasn't raped Edward. She would be a lot more freaked out if she was. She wouldn't want anyone near her or close enough to touch her." Esme said.

"But she won't kiss me anyone, she won't say "I love you' something happen to her and she won't tell me what it is. I'm worried. When I got there Jacob was on top of her and her clothes were ripped."

"Sexual assault, that's all it was Edward. Trust me, if Bella was raped we'd know it."

"Then what happen to make her so scared of showing a little affection towards me?"

"Edward just because she wasn't raped doesn't mean she wasn't shaken by it. She was still touched in places she didn't want to be, it was still scary for her. Just give her some time. I'm sure everything will be fine."

Edward sighed and nodded. He knew Bella better than they did. He knew there was something she wasn't telling him and he was going to find out what it was. Bella started to whimper and squirm.

"No, no, Edward…Edward I'm sorry. I'm sorry!"

"Shhh Love, shhhh." Edward soothed rubbing her back. "It's just a bad dream."

Bella relaxed and stayed sleeping.

"Whatever happen to Jacob?" Emmet asked.

"I broke every bone in his body. Literally." Edward smirked.

"Nice." Emmet smiled. "Was he admitted to this hospital?"

"Nope, he is at home. Carlisle fixed him up there." Esme said.

"Why would Carlisle do that?"

"Because it's his job to help those in need, even if they don't deserve it. Plus Jacob will get his punishment. I'm sure of it."

"Nothing is punishment as long as he is alive." Edward growled.

"Edward, killing Jacob won't solve anything. Just let this work out on its own. Jacob will get punished. We just have to wait to see what is done."

Edward just sighed. Bella started to whimper and squirm again.

"No, no Edward I'm sorry. I'm sorry Edward I'm sorry. Come back! Please come back! I'm sorry. Don't leave me please! Edward !"

"Shhh Bella, I'm right here love. I'm right here."

Bella started to cry. "Edward! Edward come back please! I'm so sorry please come back!"

"Bella I haven't left I'm right here shhh, shhh."

Bella opened her eyes and clung tighter to him.

"Please don't leave me. I didn't mean for it to happen it just did. I had no control over it. Please don't hate me!"

"Love, I love you. I'm not going to leave you. No matter what Jacob did to you. I'll always be by your side."

"Promise?"

"I promise." Edward kissed her head .

Bella nodded. "Will you hum?" she asked shyly.

Edward chuckled a little and started to hum her lullaby. Bella fell back into the darkness.


A few hours passed and finally Carlisle came out. He didn't look happy.

"Well?" Edward asked.

"Charlie survived the sugary but slipped into a coma. We don't know when or even if he will ever wake up."
