Bella was at her therapist’s office. She was looking at her legs and shocked at how much they’d grown in the three months since she started working with Edward. He was talking about possibly using the bars to start walking. It terrified her. Could she walk again? Would her legs work for her?
“Bella?”
“Coming,” Bella said, turning her chair and rolling into Rose’s office. “Hey, Rose. How’s the baby?”
Emmett and Rose had had a baby girl, via surrogate. “She’s good. Just started rolling over. I can’t believe she’s three months old. How’s your physical therapy?”
“Edward mentioned that we may try walking at my next appointment,” Bella said, giving Rose a smile. “I’m terrified that it won’t work. The muscles in my legs are getting stronger. I have more control in my limbs, but what if I can’t … what if this is all for naught?”
“Bella, you will fall. You’re rebuilding muscles that had not been used in over a year. It’s never easy,” Rose said. “However, you can’t let that slow you down. Your recuperation has been slow and steady …”
“It’s what wins the race,” Bella murmured, smiling gently at Edward’s tender voice when he first mentioned this.
“Now, there’s a face I’ve never seen before,” Rose sang, a coy grin spreading over her face. “Did someone catch your eye?”
Bella’s cheeks flamed. She hid behind her hands, shaking her head harshly. “Maybe, I’ve got some Florence Nightingale thing going on for my physical therapist.”
“Florence Nightingale was a nurse, Bella. Not a physical therapist,” Rose snickered. Bella gave her a hard look, arching a brow at her shrink. “Okay, okay. I’ve met Edward Cullen. He’s easy on the eyes and he pushes for his patients.”
“I agree,” Bella blushed. “I may have a teensy crush on him. There are moments where I feel like there is this connection. I feel more comfortable with him than I did with my ex-husband. Edward has been the rock that I expected from Riley, but he’s kind, strong and loyal.”
“And your ex wasn’t kind?” Rose asked.
“He had moments of kindness, but he was very self-centered and narcissistic,” Bella shrugged.
