"Stefan?"

I stood in the middle of Bella's room, rooted in the spot. My mind started whirling and I was beginning to accumulate a headache.

I tried to say something, anything but I found no words coming out of my mouth.

Noticing my bewilderment, Stefan obviously couldn't contain his amusement. As I continued to stare, he lifted his hands up and waved sarcastically whilst a permanent grin was etched onto his face.

"What's wrong Maria? Too enticed by my beauty?" He asked conceitedly.

It was that stupid comment that made me snap back into reality. There was the idiotic Stefan I knew. In return, I glared forcefully at him, trying to send him the message that I was in no mood to joke around with him.

The beautiful angelic voice that I had become so accustomed to these past few years spoke calmly. Causing me to stop glaring at Stefan and turn my attention to her.

"Maw maw" I noticed Stefan's shocked expression as Bella used her nickname for me. "This is my big bwrother" As she spoke the words brother, I couldn't help but notice the little four year olds eyes shined with bright admiration and love towards her Stefan, her broth-

Wait what? Brother?

"Woah , woah, woah" I spoke aloud, lifting my hands up, that were once clenched at my sides and waved them in the surrender motion. "Brother?" I almost spat.

"Indeed" This time it was Stefan to speak, putting his arm around Bella as he said it, giving her an adorable side hug.

As soon as that thought entered my mind I pushed it away again. Stefan cute? I almost laughed out loud.

"Oh ok" I spoke after a few awkward moments of silence. I was actually beginningto see the resemblance. They almost looked a bit like twins, obviously if Bella was older.

"So what are you doing here Maria?" Stefan asked inquisitively. I'm guessing it's not everyday he sees somebody he knows in his sisters hopsital room.

"Well...I umm.." Before I could say anything else Bella interrupted me.

"She helps out here, and she is my bestest fwriend" She giggled, bouncing up and down on the bed on her hands knees.

I couldn't help but smile. She was just too cute! If you looked at her right now you probably wouldn't even guess she was ill. She looked so happy and healthy, I have always wanted to know what is wrong with her. Maybe now that Stefan is her brother, he could give me a little insight into what's wrong with her.

"Is she now?" Stefan asked sarcastically, grinning at Bella. "And what about me?" In a flash Stefan pinned Bella on the bed and began tickling her, earning piercing sounds to tumble our of her little mouth.

"Teffie stop!" Bella screeched as soon as she got some breath back from laughing so much. I'm guessing that Teffie was Bella's nickname for him, she was so young its hard for her to pronounce some words.

Stefan just continued to prod and poke all around Bella's tummy so that she wriggled around. "Not until I get the answer I need" Stefan said as he laughed along with Bella's, although his booming laugh just drowned out any other sounds.
