Stephanie Meyer Owns Twilight I own nothing
Bella POV
I wake up to Jasper laying across me bleeding, I hear sirens and screaming. My head hurts like hell and my arm is numb which cant be a good thing. I try to move to see Jasper, I can see a lot of blood and he is not moving. I am not sure if he is breathing or if I am shaking what the fuck happened. As the sirens get louder I drift in and out of sleep I open my eyes and I see the paramedics pick Jasper's unconscious body off of me and onto a stretcher I scream as I see the blood covering his chest, I black out after that I am not sure what happened.
When I wake up I can hear the steady beeping of a heart monitor and before I open my eyes I can feel pain, a lot of pain. I slowly open my eyes and they burn, and I wonder how long have I been here.
"Help" I rasp out I can hardly make noise I look around for the call button. I need medicine and water now.
Walking through the door in her Purple scrubs and pink crocs, her name tag said Jackie.
"It is good to see that you are away . Are you in any pain? If so then could you tell me where?"
I lifted my hand and grabbed my throat I was so thirsty that my throat burned. She looked oddly add me but obviously got it and reached over and grabbed a mug of water that I had never seen with a straw and what sounded like ice.
"Drink slowly you have been unconscious for 2 days so it will hurt if you drink to fast."
Her words shock me two days. I frown at her but lean up to meet the straw with my lips. Ice cold delicious life I don't think that i have had water taste so good but I take a few small sips and my stomach cramps as the cold water hits it. Pulling my face back from the mug I nod.
"My head feels heavy and my middle hurts really bad and I can't feel right arm. How is Jasper doing? He is my fiancé I need to know that he is okay please." Nurse Jackie is typing on the computer and nodding.
"Okay Ms. Swan the doctor will be in soon to explain to you what is going on with you and is awake and asking for you as well. Once the doctor clears it we will be moving you into his room. I need to call the doctor and your father."
Turning and walking out with that being said leaving me in silence aside from the beeping of the monitors. As I lay my head back onto the bed I realize that my head is bandaged which may be why my head feels heavy I reach up to touch the bandage it covers most of my head and my hair is matted. Reaching over to my other arm I am surprised to feel it casted but there I was honestly worried that it was not there anymore.
A very young doctor comes in the door with the nurse and he smiles at me and I find myself smiling back he seams enigmatic.
"Good to see that you are awake and talking your fiancé will be happy to hear this as well and will stop harassing my staff. I am Doctor Cooper and I have been treating you let's discuss what has happened with you now. When you came in you were unconscious. We found quickly you had a concussion and a broken arm. When we got you in for a full body scan we found a bleed in your spleen and several broken ribs. I am assuming from what has said he pushed you down rather hard on to the sidewalk and then jumped on to of you, you must have put your arm out to catch yourself. Your wrist is broken and your arm is as well in two places. We put a nurse block in there for surgery and it may not have worn off yet but I would like to look at it. We did emergency surgery on your spleen and repaired the internal damage. "
"Wow" is all i have to say I didn't realize that saving my life could have hurt that bad. I really just want to see Jasper and my papa and I want to know what the hell happened.
Doctor Cooper checks my stomach tapping asking if there is pain and then removing the bandage over my stitches. He nods at the nurse who is scribbling in my chart moving around to the other side of my bed.
" I need to look at your arm and I a sorry to say that it may hurt if it does tell me and I will try to be easier." I nod at him to continue.
He pulls the blanket down and take the first look at the bandaged arm. I am a bit shocked I was supposed to get married and go on a honeymoon and instead of laying in a hospital bed with a doctor taking bandaging off of an arm that was broken in 3 places and I had two screws in. My arm looked horrible it was bruised and ugly I couldn't feel it but it looked painful.
"Okay Ms. Swan your stitches all look good and since you are not in a massive amount of pain we are going to move you into Mr. Whitlock's suite. Which is abnormal procedure wise but I also understand that the circumstances of both of your injuries are under investigation, You will be released in the next few days but your fiancé will not his injuries are far more reaching than yours but I am going to give you some pain meds so that when the feeling comes back in your arm it is not too bad." I nodded as Nurse Jackie came in with a milky looking substance into my IV I start to feel a bit sleepy as the nurse and doctor walk out talking quietly. My eyelids are heavy and so I close them as my arm starts to go one pins and needles.
"What the hell happened that mad them do this? Why wasn't the security on top of who was coming and going?" A quiet and very angry voice spits out on the other side of the room.
"Look Jasper I know your pissed off and in a lot of pain but I didn't fucking know this and I do not work for you." Another obviously upset voice says.
I try to turn over toward the voices and lift a very heavy arm and yell when I hit my ribs with it. "Damn it." I grown out as the pain radiates through my stomach all the way to my toes.
"Go get the nurse for Bella I imagine that hurt like hell." Jasper says and I snap my eyes up to see him laying in a bed across the room from mine his hair was up in a ponytail his eyes were sunken in and he had a smile on his face. "Good Morning Beautiful I don't think I have ever seen a more beautiful sight."
I laughed which hurt in turn. " How is bruised and broken beautiful do tell? But I am very happy to see you I was afraid when I woke up and you weren't there. I didn't know what had happened really I remember the shots and hitting the ground and I was in and out after that."
Jasper sighs and grasps at his chest with a pained look on his face. "I am not entirely on all of the details yet honestly we have not found out much but we will. I have never been so afraid for anyone else's life. I love you Isabella Swan and I wanted to wait until we were at the alter in front of god and everyone. But I don't want to wait anymore you were supposed to be my wife and I want you to know that I am in love with you, and it is more than I ever expected out of marriage."
I couldn't believe what he was saying that he loved me. "I love you too Jasper and I am so happy that our marriage will be out of love and not just duty. I want to get married now I want to be your wife if this has shown me anything it is that life is to short for semantics. A church and family are great but I want to make this commitment to you and our families in love." I glance down at my hand and see that my engagement ring is not there the tears well again.
" They had to cut it off darlin your hand swelled around it from the break. I will buy you a new one that is made for you and only you."
I cried then the ring that had started this, us, was broken. It must be the medication because I was not this girl, I do not by over a damn ring. I curled into a ball and cried myself to sleep.
Jasper POV
I watched her cry herself to sleep and it broke my heart I couldn't go to her I was bandaged up and not able to move much let alone get out of bed. Where do we go from here? Do we call a priest and have him come to the hospital and marry us here? Was it the near death experience that made Bella want the rush put on our vows or whether it was the fact that our wedding had been postponed until we were both well enough to have a ceremony. I was to tired to tell right now maybe Bella had the right idea in sleeping.
I woke up to her sweet voice a lot closer than the last time I heard it. Not knowing whether or not it was real made me want to lay here with my eyes closed and listen.
"Papa just tell me what is going on I just need to know. They shot at us the night before our wedding that has to send a very obvious message." I can hear the strain in her voice I reach out my hand for her and find her silky palm on my bed. My eyes pop open and all I see is her beautiful face looking at me with wide eyes.
"I am sorry if I woke you Jasper. I wasn't trying to be loud." She said squeezing my fingers she was sitting in my bed her father sitting in a chair in front of her. Someone had helped her shower and brought her outside clothes. She was fresh faced her hair shiny and pinned up out of her face and she had green pajamas on.
"Never apologize for waking me up darlin. I was just lying here with my eyes closed is all I didn't think that you being this close was real. Good morning Charlie I take it that everything is being dealt with."
He nodded at me and stood kissing Bella on the forehead. "Okay I will leave you two now let me know if you need anything. I am glad that you are both okay."
"Wait Charlie I had a question." I say swiftly before he walks out the door, he turns his eyebrows raised. "I was wondering if it was okay with you if Bella and I get married here on Sunday? We don't want to delay any further and I want to make sure it is okay with you. Maybe when we have both recovered we can go have a church wedding."
"Isabella is this what you want as well?" Charlie is looking at me dead in the eye.
"Yes papa I love hime and I don't want to wait." Bella says with absolute certainty.
"If that is what you two want to do then who am I to disagree." Charlie says turning out the door and walking out.
