A soft beeping slowly roused Bella from her unpleasant dream. She yawned as she woke and sat up, stretching. A wince escaped her when sore muscles pulled, but otherwise she could feel no pain. She opened her eyes, hoping to see Vincent beside her, to see that it really was all a dream and he was just fine.

Imagine her surprise when she was not met with the sight of a redheaded vampire pretending to sleep, rather she saw several machines that didn't come into existence until closer to her time period. Bella gasped and looked around, feeling much more awake than she had been before.

Everything: the walls, the floor, the bed, the IV machine next to her…All of it was from her time. She had been here too many times before her adventure not to recognize Forks hospital, but how had she gotten here when she was in the fourteenth century just last night?

The door opened to emit a young nurse. She looked up and gasped when she saw brown eyes staring at her curiously, confusedly. Dropping her clipboard, she held up her hands as though Bella was a wild animal and she was telling her to stay put. The nurse slipped out the door before it closed, and Bella winced when she heard her shrill voice screeching “SHE'S UP!” over and over again.

As soon as the doors shut, it seemed they opened again. Bella was reminded eerily of Henry's home when she and Vincent had been waiting in the study, but she quickly dispelled that thought. She didn't want to think about either of her deceased companions right now, not when one's death was still so recent, and she hadn't completely gotten over the first.

Edward, Alice, Jasper, Emmet, Carlisle, Esme, and Rosalie entered. All were looking at her with wide smiles and disbelieving looks, all except Rosalie who kept her usual cool glare. Bella gasped again when she saw Edward, her Edward, standing tall and unharmed.

“Bella?” he whispered softly, as though speaking any louder would make her disappear.

“Edward!” she cried happily, trying to stand, but she was stopped by the IV machine and her blanket twisted around her leg. Edward rushed over to her, enveloping her in a tight embrace.
