I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT!

Chapter 54

(Jasper)

"Dad, is she going to wake up?" I asked.

Dad got up and walked over to look at Ali's readings. "Son, her vitals are perfect, it might just take some time," He said sitting back down.

Alice had been in a coma for four days and earlier in the day they had begun weaning her off the meds.

"Come on Ali, come back to me," I pleaded to her. "I need you."

"Why don't we go get something to eat," Dad suggested.

"Go ahead. I'm not leaving her side."

I looked back down at Ali. "Come on angel, I need you to wake up. I love you Ali and we are going to get through this, but I need you to wake up."

Her hand gently tightened around my hand and her eyes started to flutter open. "Dad," I gasped.

He came over and paged the nurse's station. "Ali," I said kissing her knuckles.

Her eyes widened and she tried to speak. "Honey, you can't talk right now, you have a breathing tube," Dad said.

Alice moved her hand slowly over her stomach and looked at us as Nurse Sarah and Dr. Matt came in. "Good afternoon, Alice," Dr. Matt said walking over and shining the light in her eyes.

She tried once more to talk. "Let's remove the breathing tube, seems like you have some things to say," Dr. Matt said. "I've heard from your family that you are a fireball of energy."

Dad chuckled and I looked over, it was hard not to laugh as we knew Emmett and Rose had been talking to him.

Once her breathing tube was removed she looked at me. "What?" Her voice was dry.

"Ali, here drink some water," Dad said.

She sipped it slowly. "What's going on?"

I held her hand as they examined her and asked her questions which she was answering. "Why aren't you telling me what's going on?"

"Ali, we were in a car accident. You've been in a coma for four days," I said.

She looked around at all of us, her eyes full of fear as her hand rested on her stomach. "The baby's okay right?" She asked. "Jasper, the baby?"

"I'm sorry Ali," I said softly. "The force of the accident and the air bag hitting your stomach..."

"No!" She cried. "The baby's okay." She was sobbing.

Alice began freaking out trying to get the wires off of her and trying to pull her IV out. "Let me go, I want to go!" She screamed. "Let me go!"

Dad walked over to her "Alice Marie, stop it! You need to calm down or I will have Dr. Matt sedate you. Do you understand me?"

Alice laid back, tears still streaming down her face. "Alice, do you remember the accident?" Dr. Matt asked her.

"Matt, where is my nephew?" She asked. "He was in the car too."

"Honey, he's home. He's okay," I said.

"We need to take you down for a CT scan," Dr. Matt said.

"Don't take me away," She pleaded.

"It wont talk long and if things go well with the CT scan we will move you to a different room," He explained to her.

I leaned over and kissed her. "I'll be waiting for you when you come back."

"Do you promise?" She asked. Tears filled her eyes and she looked so scared.

"They will take you down for the scan and come to the waiting room to get me when you are done." She grabbed my hand. "I promise Ali."

"I'm scared Jasper," She cried.

"Walk down with us," Sarah said.

I took Ali's hand and we walked down the hallway. "Alice, Jasper isn't allowed to go beyond those doors right there," Dr. Matt said.

She wiped her eyes and nodded.

"I'll be waiting," I said kissing her.

(Carlisle)

I sat down with my family in the waiting room. "Is she really okay?" Esme asked.

"Do you remember when she had to have her tonsils removed when she was 8?" I asked my wife.

"Yes," She sighed.

"About like that, maybe a little worse," I said. "She's acting like a scared little girl."

"Is that normal?" Rose asked.

"It is. Mentally, she's with it, she's just really scared," I explained.

"Does she know about the baby?" Rose asked.

"Yes, she asked about the baby right away," I said. "That's another part of it. She's been in a coma for four days, she wakes up and finds out her baby is gone. It's a lot to take in."

Esme got up and walked over towards the window. I got up and followed her, pulling her into my arms. "Why Carlisle, why did they have to lose that baby?"

"I don't know Es, but she's going to be okay," I whispered hugging her.

"Carlisle, I just want to go home and go to sleep. I want to wake up have everything back to normal."

"I know Es, I do too."

We hadn't left the hospital but a handful of times to shower, eat and get a change of clothes. I hated not being there for Bella, Edward and Matt, but they seemed to be doing okay. Each time we would leave, Matt would tell us to hug Alice for him. I was hoping he'd be able to hug her himself soon.

"Um, sorry to interrupt, I just talked to Edward. They said if she feels like company they would love to come see her," Emmett said.

"Once she gets into a room, it will be easier for visitors," I said.

"When will that be?" He asked.

"Once they get the CT results back, they will decide."

My phone buzzed "CT is done, and we're back in the room, but Ali is in the middle of a panic attack. She's freaking out." -Jasper

"Do you need me?" –Dad

"Yes," –Jasper

I looked at Esme. "I'm needed back there with Ali and Jasper."

"What's going on?" She asked me.

"Ali's having a panic attack."

I raced down the hall and into Ali's room, she was sobbing hysterically and starting to get physical with Sarah and Jasper.

With gentle force, I helped pin her down to the bed. "Alice, stop it!"

"I want to get up!" She snapped.

"You can't," I said. "Not yet, you need to be resting."

"I hate hospitals, I want to go home!" She yelled fighting me.

"Ali," Jasper pleaded.

"Go Jasper, I've got this," I said.

He backed up immediately and I turned my attention back to Ali. "Get a grip and talk to us."

"I didn't lose my baby!" She yelled.

My heart broke into a million pieces. "Oh Ali," I said.

"They are lying to me! I didn't lose him!"

I went to try to hug her, but she shoved me. "Do not push me!" I said forcefully. I took a deep breath. "Why would everyone lie to you?"

"I don't know, but my stomach isn't flat," She sobbed.

I saw the charts, I'd talked to the doctors, she lost baby. Excessive bleeding and trauma to her abdomen, the baby hadn't stood a chance.

"Alice, listen to me," I knew this wasn't going to work, but it was worth a shot. "There was too much trauma for the accident, the baby was too small. Hell Ali, we almost lost all of you."

"Shut up!" She screamed. "Stop lying to me!"

"Give her something to calm down," I said.

"No, do not drug me!" She screamed.

Sarah came back seconds later. "Here Alice, take this, it will help you relax."

"Fuck you!" She yelled.

"Alice, take it or we will sedate you," I said.

I was shocked when she actually swallowed the pill. It didn't take long for her to start to calm down.

I turned to Jasper, who stood there wide eyed and defeated. "Come here," I said softly. "Hold her."

"What if she freaks out?"

"We're all right here," I said.

He sat on the bed next to her rubbing her arm. "Jasper," She whispered.

"What love?"

"I'm scared, I don't feel right. I feel out of control," She cried softly.

"I know sweetheart," He sighed. "We're trying to help you"

He leaned down kissing her on the nose. "I love you Ali."

"I love you too," She whispered moving his hand up to her cheek.

"Did I really lose the baby?" She asked softly.

"Yes Ali," He said softly.

"Is Matt really okay though?" She asked.

"Yes, he's at home with Bella and Edward. He had a concussion, but he's getting through it."

"Are you okay?" Alice asked him.

"I'm much better now that you are awake," He said leaning over and kissing her.

Alice reached over and took my hand. "Is mom here?"

"She is honey, we haven't left."

"Can you get her?" She asked.

(Esme)

Carlisle and I walked hand in hand into Alice's room. I couldn't stop the tears as I saw her sitting there with her eyes open. "Mommy," She cried.

"Oh Ali," I cried hugging her tightly. "I'm so glad you are awake."

"Me too," She said. "I just feel so empty and different."

"I'm sorry baby," I said wiping her tears away.

I sat there on the edge of her bed holding her hand, while Jasper laid back in the bed holding her in his arms. Carlisle sat in the chair close by and I realized that none of us could take our eyes off of Alice. She had dark circles under her eyes, but she still looked beautiful.

"I'm really tired," She said quietly.

"Go to sleep Ali," Carlisle said.

"What if I don't wake up?" She asked.

"I'll wake you up," Jasper said.

"How?" She asked.

He leaned over. "Like this," He said kissing her.

She leaned in against him and after a few minutes of really fighting it, she fell asleep.

AN- SO I'VE HAD A CRAZY WEEKEND AND I'M EXHAUSTED.
