Chapter 13: Surgery

Nessie's POV

The days went by in kind of a blur after that. I grew closer and closer with every single member of my new family, including Jacob. I had already been pulled out of school so I got to spend my days at home with Carlisle mainly. I did not mind in the least. In fact, I quite enjoyed the alone time that we got together. It was nice to have alone time with him and every other member of the family as well. I felt like I got to know them all a bit better that way.

I enjoyed the alone time that I got with all of my family members. Christmas came quickly this year, and I had to say that it was one of the most enjoyable Christmases that I have had in a very long time.

Now it was the day of my surgery. Even though I knew that Carlisle was a trustworthy doctor I was still a bit nervous about the whole surgery. I was scared of what would happen. Of what might happen. It was not exactly the most fun experience.

Being in the hospital made me that much more nervous. There was just something about being in a hospital on the day of a surgery that made a person ten times more nervous then if it were just any other type of visit. The idea of being cut open didn't agree with me very well.

With some help I was able to get undressed and into a hospital gown. The nurse gave me a relaxing drug to help me calm down.

It worked. I suddenly did not feel as nervous as I had when I came in here. In fact, I smiled. I smiled because I was happy. And I was happy because this was my first step into healing. If all went well I would be out of a wheelchair soon. I hoped that it worked. Everyday I regretted jumping off that cliff. I regretted my attempted suicide. I'm glad that I lived. Now I want to undo the damage that jump had caused.

I was moved to the operating room. Then I was moved onto the operating table. They gave me the anesthesia and the last thing that I remember was Carlisle's calm and reassuring smile.

I was sure that I was dreaming. I knew that I was dreaming. There are times when you just know that you are dreaming. For me, this was one of those times. Only, this felt different. Not exactly a dream, but a memory. It felt all too familiar to me.

It was dark and I could not breathe. I kicked, bit and fought to get out. I could hear someone screaming. Instantly I felt guilty because I knew that I was the one causing her pain. I was causing pain to the person who has done nothing but love me. But I needed to get out now!

Suddenly I saw a bright light and a pair of hands pulled me out. It was Edward, no, it was my father. He passed me to Bella, my mother. I could feel the love she felt for me. The scent of her blood became to much for me and I bit her. But I was pulled away by my father.

I remembered meeting my aunts, my uncles, and my grandparents. I even remember meeting Jacob. He went from looking like he was about to kill me to, well, happy I guess?

I met my mother again, this time for good. Everything seemed peaceful after that. I remember how Jacob and I used to make a game out of hunting to see who could catch the biggest prey. Jacob was my wolf. At least that is how I used to think of him.

Then the time came when Irina spotted us and thought that I was an immortal child. She told the Volturi and they came after us. Thanks to the witnesses we were able to stop a fight from happening.

Months went by and we prepared for grandpa's and Sue's wedding. I was happy because I got to be the flower girl. Everything was peaceful and happy. Until my very first birthday.

I was in the forest playing hide and seek with Jacob as the rest of my family prepared for my birthday party. It was my first birthday but I looked about five years old.

I was winning the game, or maybe Jacob was just letting me win. Who knows? I heard a strange noise and curiously I followed the sound. Then someone came up from behind me and placed something in my mouth and gagged me. They threw something over my head so that I could not see. My hands and feet were also tied so that I could not fight.

I slowly felt myself wake up. The effects of the drugs had not completely left my body yet. I was not sure how long I was out, but I'm sure that it had been awhile. I knew that surgeries as big as mine took several hours at least and it still took a long time to come out of the anesthesia.

I smiled when I remembered my dream. I knew it was not just a dream. There is no way that something as powerful as that dream could only be just a dream. Right? I knew in the bottom of my heart that I was right.

I slowly opened my eyes and I had to blink a whole bunch of times before the room came into focus. I immediately knew that I was in the recovery area because I saw several other people recovering from their operations as well. I looked around and didn't see anyone right away. That is until I heard breathing nearby.

"Nessie?" I heard a voice that could only belong to Jacob say.

I looked at him and smiled happily.

"Jakey, my wolf"
