Chapter One

A Surprising Awakening

Damn it," he growled, kissing hungrily down the edge of my jaw.

"We have plenty of time to work on it," I reminded him.

"Forever and forever and forever," he murmured.

"That sounds exactly right to me."

And then we continued blissfully into this small but perfect piece of forever.

...

My eyes shot open, and I began to make my way back into consciousness. I stretched and I felt my muscles ache for the stillness, as I yawned the sleepiness faded suddenly making me aware of something.

Sleeping? I couldn't do that anymore, not now that I was a vampire. My muscles weren't supposed to hurt like that because of stillness either.

My eyes felt weird and for some reason my sight isn't nearly as good as it was before, in fact compared to it I can say I am now practically blind. What the hell is happening to me? I can't see anything. Everything looks off!

"Miss swan, are you alright? Did you just say you can't see? Wait just a minute, I'll bring the doctor." I hear a voice say before listening hurried footsteps and a door closing. I hadn't realised I was talking out loud. Whoa, this is not my room, that is not my ceiling.

I try to sit up but there is an IV put in my arm.

"Please, be careful Miss Swan, we don't want you hurting yourself." A familiar voice says to me. I look up surprised that I didn't hear the door open and my eyes meet a pair of golden ones.

"Carlisle? What is happening to me?" I say lying comfortably back down and trying to relax my nerves. Carlisle eyebrows shot up in a surprised gesture.

"How do you know my name?"

"Oh, come on Carlisle. It's not the time to go around making jokes." And then, the perfect explication plopped in my head "I can't believe you agreed to play a prank like this one on me. Who convinced you? Let me guess, it was Emmett with a lot of Jasper's help. I can't believe all of you!"

"Playing a prank on you? I am not doing anything of the sorts to you Miss Swan, please do me the favor of calming down, being upset is not good for your body, especially right now. And I hope it doesn't bother you if I ask, but, how do you know my sons?" I give him a disbelieving look, I can't believe they are taking it this far.

"Ha ha ha, you are so funny Carlisle. I can't believe Edward didn't try to stop this. What did you guys do to distract him? Let me guess, Rose, Esme and Alice went out shopping and Reneesme run out of something that she really needed suddenly."

"How do you...? Who is Reneesme?" he asked, his face now was the perfect illustration of surprise, his mouth wide open and his eyebrows arched upwards. Ha, like I was going to buy that.

His pager suddenly made a sound and he picked it in his hands looking at it. He looked at me and then again at the pager with indecision, then he sighed and started to retreat back to the door.

"I'm sorry Miss Swan, I have an important operation to do right now, we'll continue this... interesting conversation later." He opened the door and closed it behind him soundlessly.

I sighed and look around, this was definitely a Hospital room. I looked at my body, and it looked human. My head was spinning with an upcoming headache.

"Bella!" I heard my father say from the door. He looked extremely relieved as he stood beside my bed.

"Hey Dad," Now this was just impossible, I was starting to believe this couldn't be just some trick of the guys, Charlie would never get into it, and he had a bigger belly than he had the last time I'd seen him, only 3 days ago, just like the one he had when I had just moved to Forks.

"Oh, Bella. You had all of us so worried, your mother is on the way."

"Umm, Dad? What happened to me?" Charlie looked at me confusedly.

"I thought Dr. Cullen had come here to tell you. I was sure I'd seen him leave this room before I got in."

"Um, he... got sidetracked, I was really disoriented, so it took him some time telling me where I was and all that and then he had an emergency to attend to before he could explain everything to me."

"Alright," he nodded, took a breath and with a voice full of guilt he said. "Can you remember that I had just picked you out of the airport and we were going home? Well in our way there a van appeared and hit us on the side, on your side. You were immediately unconscious from the blow, in a few seconds I had called from the radio that the cruiser has and soon we were in an ambulance and were being taken to the hospital." His eyes dropped to the floor. "You have been unconscious all this time since that happen, it seemed something had put you in a coma, Renee and Phill came to stay in a hotel not far away from here." he looked up again, his eyes rarely vulnerable as they met mine. "It's okay if you want to go back with them to Phoenix, I should have been more careful."

It took a moment for all the words to register. Had he said 'I had just picked you out of the airport and we were going home'? I fought the urge to freak out. Instead I focused on his last words and looked at him. "Don't worry Dad, I'm staying here, I don't want to leave Forks or you."

Charlie looked at my more intensely, but I couldn't really read his expression anymore. "Really?"

"Yes, I have no desire to go back to Phoenix." I replied. He smiled, and then said.

"Alright, but you are telling Renee."

"She is going to freak out, isn't she?"

"We were all very worried for you. I would stay more but I really have to go finish some important business at the station, I'll be right back."

"Okay, bye." I closed my eyes tiredly, my head almost exploding with all the new, crazy information. My body relaxed and my mind drifted off to dreamland. Something I know I would have missed more if I hadn't had my daughter.

...

I was woken again by the sound of the door opening, in front of me stood Carlisle, his eyes dancing with curiosity. Damn! What was I going to do about all the things I'd said to him? It seemed like I had travelled to the past or something like that so I had to think quickly before I screwed up more badly.

"I'm sorry I woke you up, Miss Swan, but I have to check up on you to see if everything is alright. Now, what were you telling me about my family?"

"What do you mean? I never talked about your family, or to you. Who are you?" I let confusion color my tone. I was extremely lucky that being a vampire had made it easier for me to learn how to lie. I was pretty sure the only thing that betrayed me was my heartbeat, and it had picked up from nervousness the moment I had seen him. So there wasn't really a way for him to know that I was lying.


Okay, so... that's it for now. There you have the first chapter of "Right From The Start All Over Again?"

What do you guys think? I hope you all like it.

Bye, have a nice weekend!
