Description

This is NOT a normal story. It is a monologue. It has always bothered me greatly that Edward was mostly silent during Bella's transformation. They talked to Rosalie during her change, but poor Bella was left to count Edward's breaths rather than be comforted by his voice! Even if he did not know for sure that Bella could hear, I think he still would have talked to her just in case. We humans talk to loved ones in a coma, on the off chance they can understand, and just to help ourselves get through the experience. So here is my version of what Edward might have said at Bella's bedside.

The first seven words are from Breaking Dawn. The rest is all me, based of course on the work of Stephenie Meyer.
