The accident

[Emily Uley]

The day was not the best for a long drive but I really wanted to get the supplies so I could start teaching Shay how to paint, so after letting Sam know where I would go I prepared Shay and we took off driving carefully as the roads where very slippery.

We didn't spend much time in Port Angeles, I wanted to go back home before it was dark and to make dinner for Sam as he had to patrol and knew he was going to be starving when he arrived back home, by the time we finished our shopping the weather has gotten worse, so I was driving even more careful as before, just as I was near town a deer came out of nowhere on the middle of the road, as I avoid trying to avoid it, I lost control of the car, I tried very hard to keep the car on the road but it was so slippery that I couldn't and went off the main road I panicked even more and kept pressing the break as I saw a tree in front of me and all I could think of was that I had to protect my daughter, who was already scared as I heard her screams and cries for me, so I quickly tried to reach for her as I felt the car hit the tree, the impact made me move all over in my seat and a lot of things hit me at once, I ended up bumping my head on the window and even after my whole body was aching all I thought about was my baby, that I had to get to Shay because she was scared and I was scared that she had gotten hurt, I was fighting so much to stay awake trying to reach her when the blackness finally hit me and I passed out.

I had the strangest dreams while I was out, none many any real sense at all, I saw a lot of images of Shay and Sam, also of the rest of our family and friends and a very clear image that I remember was one of Leah and me when we were kids, suddenly I started hearing voice, mostly of Sam and Dr. Cullen, I wanted to open my eyes and ask for my baby girl but for some reason I couldn't open them and suddenly the images pulled me back into a deep sleep.

When I was finally able to open my eyes before I did I felt Sam’s soft touch, I woke up startled needing to see Shay, she was all I could think of and of course as I had felt him, Sam was there with me, he hugged me and assured me Shay as safe but even when I knew he was telling me the truth I still needed to see her with my own eyes, when I finally did I was relieved to see she was unharmed and I hugged her so tight that I didn't even care my body was hurting when I did, all I wanted was to hold her. Later when Doctor Cullen came to check up on me he also discharged Shay to go home, that very same moment he gave us a new that changed our lived and was truly not expecting, yes we had talked about it and wanted it but caught us a bit of guard since we didn't expect it so soon and that news was that I was 6 weeks pregnant, at that moment I was both happy and concerned that something could happen to our baby because of the accident , but then Dr. Cullen handed us the ultrasound and I just started to cry holding it in my hand.

I spend the next 2 days in the hospital worried about my family mostly Sam at the moment, as I well knew that he was not eating well let alone resting how he should, I could see how tired he was but he denied it, obviously trying not to worry me, but I was happy he was here with me. When Saturday came I was already tired of the hospital bed and wanted to go home to my family but I knew that for the sake of our unborn baby, and god knows I would do anything to make sure the baby was safe, when Dr. Cullen did the final ultrasound after my exam he finally cleared me to go home under the promise that I take it easy and lots of bed rest.

After leaving the hospital that evening I must admit I was very hesitant to get in the car but I knew I was safe with Sam and I wanted very badly to head get home to my daughter when we finally arrived home I was so happy and received a very nice welcome by Embry that had cleaned the house and had dinner in the oven for us, a few moments after I was back, Leah and John brought Shay home as she had stayed with Leah while I was in the hospital and once again we were complete with a very special addition to our family.

Thank you John and I'll never be able to thank you enough for helping my little girl.
Sam love, we both love you so much as well, thank you for everything you do for us every day.

[Sam Uley]

To say that I am relieved that you and Shay both made it out okay is an understatement. I love you both so much
