Bella P.O.V

After a while praying, I fell asleep there. Probably two hours later a nurse found me and said my family was looking for me everywhere. She took me back to Edward's room and said that I should wait for them there. I just nodded, I was too tired to say anything.

Stumbling, I walked back to Edward's bed and sat next to him, taking his hand in mine. With a deep yawn, I laid my head on his arm.

"I love you." I kissed his fingers. "Please, come back."

I try to fall asleep again but this time, something happened. His hand was tighter, he was holding my hand! Was he...? Reacting? Was he awake? I pulled away and squeezed his hand and waited for him to squeeze back.

He didn't.

"Come on, Edward," I whispered, "come on, baby, you can do it." I squeezed, again. "Come on, you can make it. Squeeze my hand."

He didn't.

That familiar ache behind my eyes came right back when I realized that I might have imagined it. I felt the single tear drop down my cheek when I realized he didn't react to my voice, or my touch, or kiss.

"Okay, take your time," I sobbed, reaching over to touch his soft hair. "Just, please, come back."

I lay my head on his shoulder, kissing it and holding his hand as tight as possible but not hard enough to hurt him.

Then, he squeezed back. No, he didn't squeeze, he held my hand tightly. He was holding my hand! He's holding it!

"Edward?" I pull away. "Edward, baby, can you hear me?" I bring our hands to my mouth and kiss him. "Baby, I love you so much, can you hear me? I love you, Edward."

"B... B... Bella?" He said, panting.

"Yes, yes, I'm here," I lean in trying to find his lips. Luckily, I do. "Thank God, you're here! You're awake!"

"What happened?"

"Tanya attacked me, she threw me to the road and tried to kill me, but you pushed me away and she ran over you with your car," I said. "You saved me."

"I... I couldn't let her hurt... hurt you," he said, "what happened after?"

"She lost control of the car two blocks away from my mother's home, crashed into a pole. They finally caught her. It's all over, baby."

"Bruno?"

"Our family is taking care of him, I just couldn't leave you alone." I kissed him one more time. "We have to call the nurse, where's the button?"

"No," he said, "when they come they'll start annoying me. Just, let me be a few minutes alone with you, okay? I've been hearing your voice, I just want to touch you."

I nod, "okay."

His hand touches my cheek, goes up to my hair and slowly down to my shoulder, down my arm. He repeats the process a couple of more times until I stop him and tell him it's time to call the nurse.

She checked him and said we had to wait for the doctor to come and give us the diagnose. While we waited, we just held each others hand, and sat there in silence until I broke it.

"I went to the chapel," I whispered, "I begged for your life, technically. Maybe he heard me."

"You prayed?" He asked, surprised.

"Can't remember the last time I did, but yeah, I did."

"Weird," he whispered.

"What?" I frowned.

"I did the same when we couldn't find our son," he said, holding my hand tightly. "I went down at the church and I prayed to have something that will help us get our son back."

I smiled, "Faith."

"Yeah," he chuckled, "I'm glad it's finally over."

"Me, too," I whispered.

I felt his hand grab the back of my neck and he pulls me in. I closed my eyes, waiting for him to kiss me, but he doesn't. Instead, he places his forehead on my and sighed. I smiled, stroking his hand that holds me in place.

"We just need to do three more things on our list," he said.

"What are they?" I asked.

"First: Get married," he chuckled, so did I. "Second: The operation."

"And third?"

"Be happy."

I smiled, touching his face. "I think we can finally cross that one off," I whispered, "there's no more obstacles."

~~~~ Two Days Later ~~~~

Edward P.O.V

Mom wheeled me out of the hospital, followed by the rest of the family. I sat on my wheelchair, holding Bruno on my lap and Bella's hand in mine by my side.

I take a deep breath in of the cold, humid air of Forks when we finally get outside.

"It feels good," I smile, kissing Bruno's head.

From afar, Jacob was walking towards us with Leah by his side.

"How's it going?" She asked, looking at us with a smile. Judging by their holding hands, I can see they're together. Which is better so he can keep his eyes off of my Bella.

"Pretty good," I said.

"How was the diagnose?" Jacob asked.

"He has to remain in rest for the next couple of days," Bella said, "everything is okay, now."

"Good," Jacob smiled. "We brought news."

"What is it?" Carlisle asked.

"Tanya and Charlie's trial was finalized today," Leah said. "Charlie was sentenced to ten to fifteen years of prison for the charges of kidnapping."

"Tanya was sentenced to twenty-five years to life for the charges of kidnapping and attempt of murder," Jacob concluded. "They're gonna be locked up for a pretty long while."

Bella sighed, relieved. "Thank God."

Right now, hearing good news I knew that our lives would start falling into place. Like we always wanted it to be.
