Chapter 18

Bella's POV

I woke up the next morning felling dazed and fuzzy. My eyes couldn't focus on anything and my head was swimming. "Edward, what happened" I could fell him laying next to me.

"Bella, your awake, are you okay? How do you feel?" he asked.

"I fell a little sick, like I have been drugged" I said.

"Well, Bella, you kind of had a fit last night and dad had to give you something to make you sleep. I need to call him in now that your awake." Edward turned over and grabbed his phone off the night stand.

"Hey, dad Bella's awake. …..Okay." Edward turned towards me "Dad is on his way to check you out"

About one minute later there was a knock at the door. "Come in dad" Edward said.

Carlisle opened the door and met me with a smile but there was concern in his eyes. "So, Bella dear how do you feel this morning?"

"Okay, just a little fuzzy in the head" I said with a laugh. He came and sat next to me and took out his stethoscope out of his black bag. "Bella, I just want to listen to breath and then I'm going to take your blood pressure."

"Okay" was all I could get out.

He listen to me breath, has I watched my chest rise and fall. Then he took my arm and tighten the cuff to my arm. I always hated this, the cuff always seemed to cut into my arm.

"Well, Bella everything looks good, I am glad to say. Do you remember anything from last night?"

"I remember the ring and then going to the bathroom to get ready for bed and they... Oh my God I was back at the Stanley's house with him, but then it goes fuzzy after that."

"It will get better but Bella you had a break down last night and I can't say you won't have another one, you've been through a lot. I am going to subscribe you some medication that should help. I'll have Officer Anderson get it delivered today with everything else." He bent down and kissed my forehead and walked out the door "Oh one more thing, if you need me call and I'll come and check your vitals again in a few hours. Just rest, watch TV and I'll send Alice up with your breakfast in a bit." Then he shut the door.

Edward crawled up on the bed next to me and pulled me in his embrace. "Bella, are you okay?"

"I am now. Everything is fine when I'm in your arms." He pulled me tighter to his chest. "I love you so much Bella."

"I love you to Edward, I'm just sorry I keep causing so many problems, just when I start feeling comfortable about being in the family and that we are all in this together then I go and do something like last night. Why can't they just catch Dan and this all be done with" I said with a big sigh.

"Bella, they will catch him soon and when they do everything will go back to normal, I promise." He bent down and kissed me. We laid there for what seemed like minutes but when there was a knock at the door and I checked the clock, to my surprise a hour had pasted my.

"Bella, Edward, I have breakfast for both of you" Alice said opening the door. Edward jumped up off the bed to help Alice with the tray of most wonderful smelling food.

"I hope you guys are hunger Mom has been cooking up a storm this morning" She said.

Edward placed the tray on the bed so we could eat sitting next to each other. "Hey guys I brought up a movie for you to watch, It's really funny "The Proposal" I love it when Sandra is dancing in the woods to Balls." She had was laughing just thinking about it.

"I love that part, I mean I just about peed myself the first time I watched it." I said happy to have something funny to watch and think about.

"Well, I'll let you rest and eat if you need anything let me know, alright." She skipped out the door sing Balls all the way down the hall.

"You just have to love her" Edward said placing the DVD in the machine.

"This look so good," taking a big bite of pancakes with strawberries and whip cream. "YUMMMMMM, you have to get over here and try this. I swear your mother should open a restaurant.

"She always wanted to do that when she was young but then she started having kids and she said cooking for a family was more fun then cooking for a bunch of strangers." He said taking a big bite then closing his eyes to enjoy the taste.

We had finished eating the pancakes, bacon, mushroom omelet and hasbrowns when there was another knock at the door.

"Yes" Edward said not paying much attention to the door and more on the tv.

Officer Anderson came in and sat on the chair next to the tv. "Bella, they are on Dan's trail, my hope is that they will have in custody by tonight. Keep your fingers crossed okay." He stood up and left the room.

"This could be over soon, Edward, really over" I said finding myself relaxing more than I have been in a very long time." After all that food and the side affects of the medication I found myself getting really tired. "Edward, I am going to take a nap I still feel medicated and now I am really full."

"Okay, Bella. I'm going to go down stairs for a bit and check in with dad." He kissed me a walked out the door. "I'll leave the door open for you."

I turned over and was out before my head hit the pillow.

I woke up a few hours later to a lot of noise coming form down stairs. I got up and slowly made my way down the stairs, that's when I heard that voice, the voice from my nightmares, Dan was in the house. I stopped and listened.

"She isn't in the house, she is in a safe house in Seattle." Carlisle was saying. I looked over the banister and saw the whole family, my family all tied up and Officer Anderson knocked out on the floor bleeding from the head. It looked like he came in the back door. Edward noticed me and mouthed run to me, but there is no way in hell I would not fight for my Edward and my family.

I went back up stairs and into Officer Anderson's room, there had to be some type of weapon in there, he was a cop after all. I searched and searched until I found a little black gun under his bed. Time to take my family and my life back.

Read or not Dan, time for payback.....
