Both Sides of the Story

Chapter 16

RPOV

When I answered Bella's door and saw the two officers standing there, I immediately started crying.

I tried to shout out to Bella, but nothing would come out.

When she came out and saw them, she gasped and grabbed her stomach, fainting.

The officers put her on the couch, apologized and said they'd be back.

I called Carlisle and told him what happened, he sent an ambulance to the house immediately.

I called Emmett to meet us at the hospital and he said he'd call everyone else.

BPOV

I woke up and realized I was in the hospital.

I pushed the nurses buzzer and Carlisle immediately came in.

"I'm glad you're awake. How are you feeling?" he asked, checking my vitals.

"O.K., my head and stomach hurt a little." I shrugged.

"You hit your head pretty hard as for your stomach, I think that you grabbed your stomach to hard, when you fainted." he stated, checking my stomach and the babies vitals.

"Um, is Rose here?" I asked. Not truly sure if I had witnessed what I thought I did.

"Yeah, but your parents would like to see you first." he smiled.

"O.K., sounds good." I smiled back.

A few minutes later, Lilly, Lee, Charlie and Sue came walking in.

Lilly and Lee had clearly been crying.

"Bells, you O.K.?" my dad asked.

"Yeah, just sore." I replied.

"There's some people that need to talk to us, are you up for it?" my dad asked.

"Yeah, I guess." I played with my blanket.

Sue and Lilly came to stand by me and took my hands.

In walked the same two officers who were at my house.

"Ms. Swan?" they asked.

"Yes. That's me." I replied in a whisper.

"We're here to inform you that Sgt. Whitlock was severely injured. He is currently in a coma at a military hospital in Germany. You were listed as his first contact, but seeing as you were not in the state to accept the news, we went to his second, Mr. & Mrs. Whitlock." he stated.

"Thank you for going to them, they're his parents, they have a right to know everything." I stated.

"Yes ma'am. We also know families usually go to visit, so they can get all the medical information, we're only given limited. So we're here to find out which two will be going." he stated again.

"Oh, well, I really can't go, I'm too far along. So I think his parents should go." I stated.

"Can you give us a few minutes?" Lee asked.

"Yes sir." they replied and walked out.

I immediately broke down.

"Bells, you've got to calm down, it's not good for you and the baby." my dad said as he hugged me.

"I know dad. But, why can't anything go right for us?" I asked.

"Baby, life isn't easy or fair and I know you and Jasper have had to fight for everything, but it'll only make you stronger." he smiled.

"I know. I know." I hiccupped.

"Bella, I'd like it if Lee went and took Carlisle, if he'd go." Lilly said.

Lee looked at her.

"Look, Carlisle would be able to ask the right questions and get us medical answers. I'd be here to look after Bella and Charlie." she said.

"Well, let's get Carlisle in here and find out." Lee sighed.

Carlisle came in about 10 minutes later and we talked it over with him.

They'd have to leave next week and would probably be gone at least 2 weeks.

Carlisle agreed and said he'd have no problem getting the time off.

I was thankful for that.

They all said their good-byes and went to talk to the men for the arrangements.

Rose and Emmett came in after that and I broke down with Rose.

Her parents had filled them in when they came out.

Emmett hugged us both, but told me I needed to calm down.

After a few minutes, I was successful.

Rose and Emmett said goodbye and I was alone with my thoughts.

I started crying again.

I guess I must have knocked my numbers out of whack, because the machines went crazy.

A nurse rushed in and called for Dr. Cullen.

Edward came rushing in and looked surprised.

"Bells, what's wrong?" he asked, trying to calm me down.

"Jasper, Germany, coma." It's all I could say.

Carlisle came in right after that and explained everything to Edward.

"Look, I'm going with Lee and I'll need you to look after Bella, extra careful." he stated.

"Dad, no worries there." he smiled.

"Now, Bella, you need to get some rest and keep calm. I'm going to give you a light sedative and your dinner will be right here. You should be nice and tired when you finish. I'm going to go over everything with Edward and he'll be your new doctor while I'm gone. Your OB will be in tomorrow and if things look good, she could release you." he smiled.

"Thanks for everything Carlisle and please, give Jasper my love." I hugged him and Edward said he'd check back later.

I ate dinner and drifted into a fitful sleep.

Carlisle and Lee had left for Germany yesterday and I'd been released.

Esme and Lily were going to take care of me, while the guys were gone.

I was told very specifically to take it easy and DO NOT STRESS!

Yeah, right, easier said than done.

I was on pins and needles, waiting for them to call.

CPOV

Lee and I landed in Germany and were escorted to the hospital, Lee was a nervous wreck, I thought I was going to have to have them give him a sedative to calm him down.

We arrived to Jasper's doctor's office and immediately ushered inside.

"Dr. Cullen and Mr. Whitlock, very nice to meet you. I'm sorry it's under these circumstances though. As for Sgt. Whitlock, he just awoke, but unfortunately, he's got amnesia, we don't know how bad yet. He's also had to have his left leg repair, he caught shrapnel in the muscle and he won't regain full strength of that leg. He's also lost his right pinkie. We've got him pretty drugged up because of the pain and we're hoping that he'll remember the both of you, so when he's able to be transferred, he can be transferred back to Washington. I heard he's to be a father soon." he smiled sadly.

"Actually, this will be his second child, his first is 10 year old." Lee smiled.

"His fiancé is due to give birth soon. She was actually just released from the hospital as well, due to stress." I replied.

"I'm sorry to hear that. Then, let's go see Sgt. Whitlock and get him better." the doctor said.

We walked into his room and I was relieved to see he was breathing on his own, that was a big plus.

Lee and I walked on each side of him and grabbed his hands.

"Jasper, wake up son, Carlisle and I are here for you." Lee said.

Jasper's eyes opened and he smiled.

"Dad." he rasped put.

"I'm here Jasper." Lee smiled.

"Where's Maria?" Jasper asked and Lee and I looked at each other in confusion.

"Maria? Why would she be here?" I asked.

"Oh, Carlisle, you didn't know. Maria and I are dating. We're just here to visit mom and dad." he tried to smile.

"What about Bella and Charlie?" Lee asked.

"Pffttt… Bella? Dad c'mon, you know she hates me and Charlie can come see me when I get home." Jasper sighed.

"Get some rest son. We'll be back after dinner." Lee smiled and we told him goodbye.

Lee was quiet until we reached the hotel.

"Carlisle, what are we going to do? He thinks he's still in Texas with Maria. This will KILL Bella." Lee sighed.

"Let's call Esme and fill her in and then Lily." I said.

We called our wives and explain everything. I told Esme to call Emmett and have him pick up Lily, she needed to NOT be around Bella right now and I also asked how Bella was doing. She read a list of notes Edward had left her, her BP was still high, but not enough to go back to the hospital, unless this news got to her.

Esme said she'd keep a closer outlook on Bella and asked if there was anything she could do.

I told her to ask Bella for recent pictures of her and Jasper together and if Charlie was there, all the better. And a recent one of Bella pregnant and to just tell Bella that Jasper asked for them.

She said she'd have them faxed with in the hour.

By the time Lee and I arrived back from dinner, the pictures were there and I explained to Lee what they were for, hopefully to jog Jasper's memory back.

Jasper was sitting up a little eating when we arrived.

"Dad, Carlisle." he smiled.

"Jasper, we've got some pictures for you." I smiled.

I handed the one of him and Charlie together and he smiled, but made no comment on it.

I handed him the one of all three of them and his eyes sparkled a little.

The last one was of Bella very pregnant.

"Who is she married to now?" Jasper snapped.

"No one." Lee replied.

"So she gets herself knocked up a second time?" he laughed.

"Jasper Whitlock! You will not talk about Bella that way." Lee snapped.

"What the hell do you want me to say? I mean, it's clear that this is a recent picture." he said.

"Jasper, look. You asked Bella to marry you, right before you shipped out. You've been with her. This is YOUR baby." I replied.

"The hell it is! I haven't slept with her since high school." he snapped.

"Look, I'll leave them here for you to look at and we'll be back in the morning. Get some rest." Lee smiled.

"Whatever." Jasper snapped and threw the pictures on the bedside table.

I knew this wasn't going to be easy, but damn it, these two deserved a fucking break!

I've got to think of a way to make him remember.
