Forever And Always

Chapter 24

Edward P.O.V

After we arrived, they wouldn't let me pass the waiting room. They took both Bella and the baby to the emergency room. Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, and Mom catch up right after we arrived.

"What happened?" Alice asked, "did she...? The baby...? What...?"

"Tanya attacked Bella right after she arrived, the police say we couldn't help her until she said 'red' then when she said, I arrived and everything was just... horrible," I said.

"And Tanya?" Esme asked.

"She fled in my car," I said, "she's injured but she still managed to flee."

"God," Rosalie cried in Emmett's arms.

Esme walked up to Renee, who cried on the couch. Alice and Rosalie talked and talked, worried and Emmett and Jasper just stood there silent. I paced around the room, waiting for Carlisle to come. Time is just going so slow here at the hospital.

I've never imagined that one day I would be here waiting to see if my fiancee and child would live.

~~~~~ Hours Later ~~~~~

Carlisle finally comes out, looking exhausted and, relieved?

"What happened? Is she okay?" I asked, "is she okay? Is Bruno okay?"

"Edward, take a deep breath," he said. "Bella and Bruno are going to be fine. Bruno is a little weak, dehydrated and needs more nutrition but he'll be fine. Bella's lost a sever large amount of blood but everything it's okay now, we gave her blood transfusion and her wounds will heal fast. She has a small head concussion but everything is okay, we treated it. She's resting right now."

"Thank God," Mom sobbed.

"Can I see her?" I asked him.

"Not her, yet," he said, "she needs to rest so she can finally feed your son. Now, I think you need to meet someone."

I take a deep breath and nod. He leads me down the hall, up two floor and into the new born section. We walk down the long, slient walls until we reach a room.

"We gave him his own room," Carlisle said, before opening the door. "Are you ready? I just have to let you know, he's way too small to be a month and a half old so be gentle."

"I'm ready," I said, shaking off my  nervous. I'm literally, just about to meet my son, my son. The one I've been looking for, for weeks and now, he's right behind this door.

Carlisle opens the door and lets me walk in first. "I'll leave you alone with him," he said and closed the door.

My eyes landed on the little crib on the center of the room. I froze where I stood when I saw the little blue blanket moving. He's there, he's actually in there. My son.

I slowly walk up to it, taking deep breaths, trying to control my heart beat.

Then, I see him. He's there. Creamy white skin like his mother, red flushed cheeks, chocolate hair, big green eyes and a little crooked grin on his face while he licks his tinny fingers. His eyes land on me, making him smile bigger and kick his little feet and flap his arms, it's like he knew who I was.

"Hey, buddy," I choked out. "I'm... your dad."

He kicked, again and reached up for me. I slowly reached in for him and carried him for the first time ever.

He's so light, soft and warm. I kiss his forehead head and slightly swing him in my arms, humming a new lullaby that just came up in my mind. He slowly starts to fall to sleep in my arms, his tiny hand holding on tight to my finger. In a matter of minutes, he's in a deep sleep, still holding on to my finger.

I feel like house go by and I'm just standing there, looking at him sleep. I feel like he looks more like Bella than me, which I feel he's lucky.

"There's the little one," Mom sobbed when she walked in the room. "Oh, my God, Edward... Can I?" She asked, holding her arms out for Bruno.

I nod, walking up to her and placing him on her arms. Tears pour down her cheeks when she sees him, sobbing she kisses his forehead and rocks him back and forth.

"Edward, he looks just exactly like you," she whispers, looking at him. "He reminds me from when you were a baby."

"I feel like he looks more like Bella," I said.

"He's here, at last," she says, "we've been through enough to find him. Now, we only need to find Tanya so we can continue living our lives."

"Yes. She's injured so she might not be far from here," I said. "Where's Alice, Rosalie and the guys?"

"On their way," she answered.

Later that day, everyone met Bruno. Alice and Rosalie immediately fell in love with him. They wouldn't let him go, even if I told them he needed to take his nap but they insisted that they wanted to hold him more. After the guys came, they decided to take the girls to the mall to buy new clothes that would fit him. Carlisle was happy to hold his grandchild and as Esme and Renee, some tears dropped down his cheek.

That night it was just me and him. He was wide awake, playing with my fingers and sometimes putting them in his mouth. I rocked him back and fourth, humming his new lullaby.

"Edward?" Carlisle came in.

I looked at him for a second before looking back at Bruno. "Yeah?"

"She's awake."

I look at him and immediately feel bad. I was with her an hour ago when Bruno was with my sisters, waiting for her to wake up but she didn't. I sighed, looking back at Bruno.

"Let's go see Mommy."

Author's Note:

I'm excited to see how Bella reunites with Bruno, who else is?
