Hey guys,

So as you probably know I haven't posted in an extremely long time and because I am posting a new chapter right now I know many of you probably don't remember what going on so here is a short summary of everything so far.

Bella and Edward were friends since they have been little, with Edward in high school being popular and sought after Bella the nerd always felt and little lonely not to mention she was bullied by Tanya.

One fateful night when they were seventeen changed everything (BIRDS AND THE BEES INSERT) Bella got pregnant. Not wanting to ruin Edward's life she left vowing to never talk to him or Alice her best friend and his sister ever again; though she kept in contact with Alice through letters.

For four years Edward has no clue where Bella is and Bella wants to keep it that way. Until on day Alice decided to get married, she convinced Bella to come back to Forks for the wedding convinced Edward wouldn't show up for it, he had not been talking with his family in a while.

Even though Edward is not showing up according to Alice, Bella still tries to leaving Emma (EDWARD AND BELLAS DAUGHTER) with her mother Renee. Renee unfortunately was leaving with her husband Phil to travel for his job. Bella therefore had to bring Emma with her.

She gets to Forks and stays with her father, seeing no sign of Edward. Until one night in the grocery store when she sees him.

She still goes to the wedding and sees him, lucky Emma is at home. But one thing she is not expecting is that he is there with the girl that used to be cruel to her, Tanya.

Edward and Bella share a kiss, reminding Bella of whom she is and her daughter. She wants to run, and does, but not soon enough. She is informed that Tanya and Edward are engaged to be married.

She leaves gathering Emma and saying goodbye to Charlie, at the same time Tanya the woman Edward as tried to convince himself to love pulls a move on him and he moans Bella's name. Not wanting to be in Forks anymore and have the reminders of her he goes to the airport.

Bella and Edward are both in the same airport when Emma gets separated from Bella only to find Edward. Him having no idea who she is tries to help her find her mother. And when he does Bella drops the bomb on him and tells him that Emma is his daughter.

Both missing there flights decide to head home, it is late and Bella passes out at the wheel resulting in a car crash and ultimately a coma and Emma left with only scratches.

Emma still not knowing Edward is her father saying with Auntie Alice for a week because Charlie has to work. Emma gets to know Edward better and Edward realizes how much he actually loves her. Tanya also finds out that Emma is Edwards daughter. Carlisle and Esme still have no idea.

Bella appears to Edward in his dreams and just as her condition is getting worse and worse she wakes up.

And that is where we left off.

BELLA POV

*************************************

My eyes fell upon his face, the face of the angel that stood before me.

It had been so long since I had seen his features in person, so long since I had been able to touch him. Reach out and grab what I knew belonged to me.

"Oh Bella..." He sighed.

Oh Edward…

My mouth opened but no noises came out. I was speechless.

I could feel warm tears rolling down my face.

"Nurse!" I heard him scream once again.

As his voice filled my ears about three nurses scurried into my small hospital room.

Each of their face revealed the same amount of emotion. This was nothing new to them, people here in a place of death had miracles ever single day. People who had been in a solemn slumber for years suddenly awake. People who had been affected by tumors suddenly are cancer free.

Miracles they happen ever day, but me…I never thought that I was one of those fortunate few.

I spent my life hoping, praying for miracles and when I finally let myself forget my desire, I got what I wanted, what I needed.

Edward towered over my bed with eyes that shone like lighthouse in a fog filled bay. Those lights were calling me home, home into his arms.

But once I got over the light there was only one emotion filling them.

Love.

Love for me.

Love for life.

Love for everything.

My heart swelled with the feeling of a thousand butterflies.

I was so close to my happy ending, so close I could smell it.

"Edward." I finally croaked.

Things, places, smells were now all coming back to me slowly but surely. My eyes stung, adjusting to the light after being closed so long. Life now had a new meaning for me; something that I never knew could be possibly. Everything was so clear, so fresh.

This was my new beginning.

My rebirth.

I knew that I had so much time left, but I also knew that at any second everything could change. Someone could die, someone could get hurt… I could die, I could get hurt.

My new appreciation for life made my head swim with uncertainty.

But he was my clarity, the fog of my indecisions faded when I looked into his green eyes, green eyes from which water flowed from like a rain shower.

"Edward?" I heard a small voice ask from the door.

I tore my eyes away just in time to see my baby. Her hair was pulled back into a French braid, and her eyes were slightly swollen.

Her beauty one in which could only be described in the longest paragraphs of the longest books.

"Mamma!" She cried.

Her little feet couldn't get her to my bed side fast enough.

"Mamma!" She sobbed.

Edward gently picked her up and placed her beside me. This made me cry, harder.

I always new he was going to make a good father.

"Oh baby" I whispered into her sweet smelling head, my arms weak with sleep couldn't be lifted to support her fragile body. My breath came out in dragged lulls, my lung still not used to breathing on their own.

"Mamma, you've been asleep for too long." She cried

"I'm sorry" Was the only thing I could form in my mouth.

"Don't ever fall asleep again, okay?" She breathed into my shoulder.

I laughed slightly "Anything for you"

It felt like I held her in that moment for eternity, my baby girl still fit perfectly into my arms, just like the first time I had held her and no matter what she would continue to fit like a puzzle piece into my heart, the only place she would ever be safe from the harshness of the world.

Alice soon appeared beside me, her smile one that withheld the power of a hundred watt light bulb. My tired arms attempted to reach out to her, but I failed miserably "Come on Emma, lets go to the bathroom." She said while pulling Emma successfully into her small arms.

Alice and my daughter quietly left the room leaving me and Edward alone, with a fancy array on doctors and nurses checking my charts and playing around with my fluids.

I turned my head from where a woman named Susan disconnected and reconnected a new package of fluids to keep me hydrated, he was looking at me and I was looking back, letting my many emotions pool into my eyes

"I've missed you." I blurted out.

A smiled played across his lips.

"You don't even understand… " He smiled a smile that made my fragile heart flutter, his hand gently touch my check and my eyes closed. The feeling of his skin against mine made me shiver.

Suddenly his hand fell from my face. My eyes flew open. Edward's hand was now at his side. His eyes directed towards the door.

Carlisle; his expression was one of furry, and frustration.

"Bella." Carlisle breathed. He was looking at me but out the corner of my eye I could see that he was shooting draggers at Edward; If looks could kill.

"How are you feeling, any dizziness?" Carlisle asked while shining a light into my sensitive eyes.

"I feel fine." I replied trying to smile but failing miserably.

He smiled back, but it never reached his eyes.

"Well, we'll have to bring you for a head CT either today or tomorrow." He mumbled while scribbling something down onto a clip board.

"Just rest right now, maybe without visitors." When the heck did Carlisle start acting like a bitter old man? How much had possibly changed in the two weeks I had been aimlessly wandering my dreams.

"Edward," Carlisle directed his gaze. Until that moment I had been to consumed in my ponderings to even realize Edward was there best side me, holding my hand.

Oh how I've missed you…

"Can I talk to you outside for a moment?" Carlisle muttered while walking over to the door.

"Sure." I looked up and met Edward's ocean green eyes. "I'll be right back." He said before releasing my hand and following his father out through the gray door.

Finally, for once in my life, my happy ending was right around the corner.

EDWARD POV

******************************************************

"What is it Dad?" I asked, trying to make my voice serious, but not being able to wipe the permanent smile off my face.

"We need…to…um…talk" Why was he suddenly so hesitant. My stomach seemed to drop to the floor. "Come into my office with me."

I followed closely behind, the smell of leather hitting me as I followed my father in like a duckling.

But one thing was in this room, in which I was not expecting.

"Tanya?"

"Edward." She cooed. Oh god I was going to be sick.

"Edward, it seems the Tanya has something to tell you…"

I hate you so much.

"Tanya…" My father prompted.

Tanya just stood there grinning like a total idiot. "Eddie…" Eddie I loathed when people called me that. "I have some good new." She squealed.

You're going to go and die in a hole? "Really."

"I'm pregnant!!"

Oh shit.

"You're…what?"

"Pregnant, silly."

"What?" My voice died down to a whisper. But no, she cant be, it's not possible.

"Son, take it easy." I father said, while placed a cool hand on my burning back.

Not now. Was all I could think. I was so close to my happy ending, so fucking close.

I wanted nothing more then to go over to Tanya and slap her smile right off her lips. I had, for four years tried to convince myself that I loved this woman. And now every time I looked into her ice blue eyes it made me feel sick to my stomach.

"I need some time alone." I said, before sprinting it down the hallway.

I ran until I was sitting down on one of the benches conveniently placed directly outside the doors of the hospital.

I could feel the contents of my breakfast threatening to come back up.

No, this couldn't be happening…

But really, what else could happen?

*****************************************************************
BELLA POV

*********************************************

"Mamma, do you like my hair. Auntie Alice did it." Emma graced me with her fathers smile.

"It's beautiful baby." I said while running my limp hands over her french braids. Emma sat in my hospital bed, curled up beside me telling me all about her two weeks that she had spent with Edward.

"Oh Mamma, Edward is the best." She stopped to reposition herself to look me directly in the eyes. "I really like him"

I smiled at her. What else could I do. Hey baby, I actually really like him too, hey guess what he as happens to be your dad!

No.

That was not how it was going to work and I knew it.

I had no clue at all how I was going to tell Emma that the man she adored was actually her father. She has always wanted a father and I knew that. Ever since she had been enrolled in preschool and the teacher had made her bring in a picture of her family. All the other kids had a Mamma and a Daddy; while her picture was missing one important part of the puzzle.

I had prayed that Emma would never meet Edward, but somewhere deep down I knew that the day would come when she would ask the question.

It just came around a little sooner than I had expected.

And it didn't help that my feeling also got in the way.

I knew that Edward would forever be the love of my life and there was nothing I could do to change that. I had been in love with him since the first day I had met him. He had been in a different class then me in eighth grade, but slowly over time as Alice and I became closer so did Edward and me. I remember the first time I knew I was in love with him. It was winter and we were soon to be going in to grade ten, things soon were going to be changing I could feel it in my bones.

But like most Saturdays Alice was painting her nails watching a chick flick in her bedroom and I had slipped out to the washroom. Really, I slowly founded myself walking down to her bedroom.

He sat there, like her did every weekend listening to music and reading. I had always called him a nerd, but he had always managed to be popular. We sat there together, reading, as I watched him quietly hum to the music he was listening; at this moment I realized that this was what loving someone felt like.

To feel comfortable with them.

To be able to read with them without things feeling awkward.

To know that they will always be there for you.

I looked to my daughter, my fog ridden mind slowly came out of its flash back.

"Me too." I sighed. Emma smiled at me and put her head down beside mine. Her hair felt like silk against my numb hands.

My eyes began to close.

"Bella?" A voice whispered.

My lids flew open to find Carlisle standing in front of me.

"Carlisle." I repeated in the same tone.

"We need to take you for a C.A.T scan now. Is that alright?"

"Yeah." I mumbled while nudging Emma. Her eyes slowly slide open and met my face.

"Baby, go with Dr. Carlisle, he'll take care of you." I whispered into her hair.

"Where are you going?" She replied, her lip jutting out.

"No where important, I'll be right back, I swear." I smiled at her, leading her small hand over to Carlisle "You wouldn't mind would you?" I asked him, pointedly staring at Emma.

Something fazed through Carlisle eyes. "Yeah, sure; of course." He said while grabbing Emma's hand.

I smiled at him "Thank you."

"Bella, Tyler, the nurse will be bringing you down to the CT. I'll bring Emma down to the cafeteria in the time being."

I sat down in the wheelchair beside my bed, waving Emma and Carlisle off.

I was no longer in second place, no longer compared to his second chance.

I was first.

I hoped.

I CAN NOT SAY THIS ENOUGH.

IM SORRY

IM SORRY

IM SORRY

For a long time I really thought about giving up writing this story, but my friends changed my mind.

I know you all hate me and psh I hate myself.

But I hope you can forgive me.

I have a few chapter lined up and ready to go, and I will smack myself if I don't get them up within the week.

IM SORRY

I hope you enjoyed the chapter.
