“I’m gunna get your mother, Belly. Stay here and see what else you can get out of him. He must be coming around.” I couldn’t see his face, but I could hear the smile that he wore on his face.

 “God, I have missed you so much. You’ve really scared us, you big oaf. You have some competition for that title now; you need to meet Emmett.” My smile grew as another spike appeared along the steady line measuring Cain’s heart. He really could hear me. I thought about that breakthrough for a second and then … oh god … that’s not good. I racked my brain for everything I had told Cain.

 My life since moving to Forks and in with Dad.

The Cullens.

 My relationship with Edward.

 The Cullens.

 My short engagement.

 The Cullens.

Then it really hit me … Had I really told him about vampires? 

Mostly when it was just Cain and myself in the room, seeing as the nurses had given up trying to get me to move, I would just vent to him about life among other topics. Cain and I had always had a very open relationship from the very start. I admit it has been lacking recently, but I am going to get everything back on track, not matter what it takes; even if it kills me, I will get my family back together … healthy and happy. 

I heard the door open and close swiftly, followed by the scuffing of shoes.

 “You were right, Dad. He can hear me. Look at the machine, you see that spike? That was me.” I said triumphantly.

 “It’s so good to hear your voice again, Bella.” I craned my neck to see Edward leaning against the doorframe, looking as handsome as ever; even with light purple rings under his eyes. “I’ve missed that, and you of course.” He whispered. I lowered my eyes, and turned back to Cain’s recovering body.

 “I’ve missed you too,” I mimed, not even too sure if what I said was even heard.

 “Bella, was that directed at me or Cain? I didn’t know if it was to me as you are looking at him and …” I pushed back off my rather uncomfortably plastic chair that had put up with me for the last 96 hours, and pulled a slightly startled vampire into my embrace. I was greeted instantly and I felt safer then I had in days.

 “I love you …” He whispered into my hair. I barely heard and wondered if I was even meant to.

 “I love you too. No matter what happens, you are my life. Yes, admittedly, it will take time for us to heal, but we will heal… won’t we?” He crushed his lips to mine and I took it for a yes. I unwrapped my arms from around his torso, and repositioned them around his neck, in an attempt to bring him closer to me. He moaned into my mouth as I attempted to wrap my legs around his waist.

 “Bella, as much as I am loving our … make up … someone wants to see you …” He stammered, resting his forehead against mine. I looked up at him with a dumbfounded expression, peeling back the blind at revealed the long white corridor.

 “I don’t see anyone. Edward, no one is out there, nor coming. Are you sure? Was someone getting excited?” I teased and saw the crooked smile I loved, and had sorely missed. I deep chuckle threatened to escape as he placed his hands on my shoulders and guided me to Cain’s resting place.

 “Five … four …” He started to count down as he backed away from me towards to door.

 “Edward, what the hell …”

 “Look down. Three … two …” I heard a sharp intake of breath from beneath me, and a hand suddenly grip mine.

 “Be … Bella?”
