cannot be separated by it.
Death cannot kill what never dies."

Carlisle Pov:

Just as Esme and I were about to get ready to go to sleep, the phone ringed. Confused as to who would be calling at this late hour I answered it.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hello, is this Carlisle Cullen?"

"Yes, may I ask who this is?"

"This is Carri, I am a nurse at Forks Hospital, I'm calling to tell your son Edward and Isabella Swan have been admitted here, they've been in a car accident and they are currently in the operating room having emergency surgery, you need to get here as soon as possible." I honestly didn't hear the rest after 'car accident'; I was in too much of a shock. After she was done talking, I told her that I would be there soon. Hanging up, I got dressed fast and said to Esme,

"Honey you need to get dressed Edward and Bella has been in a car accident. I'll call Emmett and Alice, you get ready."

"What?! A-are you sure? Oh my god, I hope they're okay. I can't lose them too." She said in a worried tone.

"I know honey, neither can I." I said grabbing the phone, while searching for my keys frantically. I dialed up Alice's phone number and when they answered, I heard them all laughing. Normally I would be concerned they were drinking but I just didn't have the time for that.

"Hello?" Alice answered, still laughing.

"Sweetie? This is your dad, the hospital called and Edward and Bella have been in an accident, you need to get to the hospital immediately, we'll meet you there." I said really fast.

"W-what? O-okay, were o-on our w-way." She stuttered, sounding like she was going to start crying, all signs of laughter gone replaced with worry and fear.

I hung up the phone and saw Esme all ready and with my car keys in hand, ready to go. We left the house and sped to the hospital. Ignoring the speed limit.


Alice Pov:

After getting off the phone, I grabbed my stuff frantically, ignoring all the questioning stares I was getting.

"We have to get to the hospital; Bella and Edward have been in an accident." Everyone freaked out and started asking me a whole bunch of questions. Jasper started to try and calm me down, saying stuff like 'take a deep breath'.

"I CAN'T CALM DOWN! My brother and best friend are in the hospital right now! NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR ME TO CALM DOWN!" I snapped.

When I finished yelling I broke down and started crying. This was highly unusual for me. Normally I was happy all the time, not letting anything get to me, always seeing the bright side of things, but nothing about this was 'happy' or 'good'. Jasper held me in his arms. Totally ignoring the fact that I just yelled at him. If I wasn't so upset I would be scolding him and myself for ruining his suit. After my episode, we left and headed to the hospital. Prying they were going to be all right.

When we arrived at the hospital, I saw my father, the one I always looked up to for guidance and strength, my own personal superman, looking totally broken down and beat, crying his eyes out, with his hands covering his face. His body was violently shaking with sobs. My mother looked like she was trying to hold it all in, and was rubbing my fathers back, trying to console him and hold herself together all at the same time. But even I saw the tears flowing down her face.

"Mom, Dad." I said running up to them and into their arms. After we let go we all sat down.

"Have you heard of anything?" I asked.

"No, they haven't told us anything yet. They are still in surgery."

"Do you think they are going to be okay?" I asked.

"If I knew the extent of their injuries, then maybe I would know somewhat, but I don't and it's killing me." My dad said, in a defeated tone. We all waited. And waited. That's all we seemed to be able to do. Wait.


Esme Pov:

After what felt like hours, the doctor came in. I cringed at the blood stains on his shirt, not even allowing myself to question it. After looking in his eyes, I could already tell. We all stood up and waited impatiently for the news.

"I'm sorry, but they didn't make it." He didn't have to say anything else after 'im sorry'. It all didn't matter. They were gone. Both of them. I couldn't believe it, it didn't feel real. It felt like a ten thousand pound boulder had fell on my chest and crushed my heart. I broke down crying, as did everyone else. Emmett however was furious, so furious in fact he punched a hole in the wall. I should be mad at him for destroying the wall, but I couldn't find my self to care.

"C-can we see t-them?" I asked, trying to hold in the sobs long enough for me to ask him the question.

"Sure, we moved them both into the same room. They're both still hooked up to the heart monitor, so don't be shocked if you don't hear their pulse." He said carefully.

Of course I wasn't going to be shocked! My babies are dead. As we were walking to the room, I couldn't help but feel scared. I was scared at what I was going to see. What if there so mangled up, their bodies were unidentifiable. I don't think I could handle that. We entered and were heartbroken at what we saw. There they both were. On slabs like other corpses. But they weren't just 'other corpses'. They were, my babies. I had seen them when they were actual babies, hold hands just hours after they were born. Now I get to see them dead. A child should never die before their parent. It looked like even in death they still wanted that, to be close. Both of their hands were hanging off the operating table, so close to one another, almost touching. As I got up close, I couldn't help but think how un-dead they both looked. They didn't look dead to me. I guess it's just wishful thinking. I grabbed both of their hands and held them together. Eventually I put their hands down, back where they where.

After we all said our goodbyes, we turned to leave. But just as we were all about to head out, we heard a sound that made us all stop in our tracks. We heard two heart beats, slowly start to beat, simultaneously together, in total synchronization. Turning around we saw both of their heartbeat monitors, beating away, in sync, slowly getting stronger and stronger. We looked at Edward and Bella, and saw something that shocked us even more. Ever so slowly, we saw their hands slowly move towards one another, as if they knew they where there, their eyes still closed. Once they were close enough, they grasped each others hand, tightly. Never letting go.


PLEASE READ BELOW! IMPORTANT!

AN: I know short chapter. But WHAT DID YOU THINK? I heard that some of you in the last chapter cried, and although it's probably terrible me saying this, it makes me so happy that I made some of you cry! Shows me that I am doing something right. Did you catch the 'holding of hands' between Bella and Edward? It ties into first chapter when they are holding hands in the nursery. And the 'Never Letting Go' ties into the last chapter.

***I KNOW BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING! SOME THINGS IN THIS CHAPTER MAY BE HIGHLY UNREALISTIC, BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THE STORY LET'S PRETEND THAT IT CAN HAPPEN. OH AND I RESEARCHED IT, YOU CAN COME BACK TO LIFE AFTER BEING DEAD FOR A COUPLE MINUTES, IT HAS HAPPENED, AND I KNOW PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THAT HAPPEN TO THEM AND ARE STILL ALIVE TODAY. AND IT IS POSSIBLE FOR TWO HEART BEATS TO BEAT IN TOTAL SYNCHRONIZATION.


Again, Please review your opinions matter SO MUCH. I need to know if you want more.

Question for you: Do you think Bella and Edward should have a baby? When should they have the baby? Boy or Girl or Both? Name suggestions?
