(Emmett's POV/ 8P.M)
BEEP BEEP BEEP
I groan as i roll over to check my pager.
Rose wakes up and looks at me tiredly.
"I have to go" I say as i sit up.
"no" Rose moans.
" Baby I'm sorry but i need to they need me for a pediatric case" I say as i lean down and kiss her.
"I love you" She says and rolls over.
I chuckle and go to get into my scrubs.
Once i get in my scrubs i head down stairs.
"Pediatrics?" dad asks as he gets his shoes on.
" Yeah. You to?" i ask as i grab my keys.
" yup" He says and we leave together.
We get in my jeep and speed off to the hospital.
When we get there nurses run over to us in flock.
" we need you guys in room 4" They all say.
Dad and i look at each other and try to hold back our laughs
" OK. we will but we need to get to the room" Dad says and all the nurses run to the side.
We walk to the room.
"NO GET AWAY FROM ME" The little girl screams as shes thrashing against my team of nurses.
"What do we have?" I ask as dad goes to the medicine cabinet to get some sedatives.
"This is Mia who is a victim of child Abuse. Police had to force remove her from the house" Nurse Alexa says.
I nod and walk to the head of the bed.
" Hi baby girl. We're not going to hurt you" I say and i look at dad.
"Can everyone get out except my son and i" dad requests and everyone scatters.
" Hi sweetheart" Dad says as he walks to the bed.
She whimpers in fright and clutches onto her stuffed cat.
"Shh its OK Mia that's my dad he wont hurt you i promise" I say as i kneel by her.
"Emmett we need to start soon." Dad says.
" I know but we don't want to cause her to panic" i say as i look over her body and see one spot full of blood.
"Sweetheart have you ever been to the doctors?" Dad asks as he sits down on his stool.
She shakes her head no.
"Travis wouldn't let mommy take me" She says.
" OK sweetheart is that why your so scared?" i ask.
She nods but the shakes her head no.
"There's another reason to?" Dad asks softly.
"Men scare me" she says softly and if i wasn't a vampire i wouldn't have heard it.
"Shh sweetie we wont hurt you" I say as dad stands back up.
"Alexa we need to get started so you don't lose to much blood" Dad says as he grabs a pair of gloves for him and i.
We both put them on as quietly as we can.
"Honey were going to need to cut your clothes off so we can see how badly injured you are." Dad says and she screams.
"No naked" she crys.
"Shh its OK we'll wrap you in a blanket sweetheart" I say as i look at dad.
He nods and grabs a blanket from the linen closet.
I take it and he start to cut her clothes.
Once her chest was exposed i cover her up as dad works on her pants.
Once he gets those cut away i cover her body fully.
"Emmett can i talk to you in the hall" Dad says as he motions towards it.
"Mia I'll be back OK sweetheart" I say as i walk towards dad.
Mia starts to cry as i walk out of the room.
"Whats up?" i ask.
" I think you should just talk to her, she seems to be calmer when you talk to her." Dad says.
"I'm still helping but yeah I'll talk to her when she gets scared" i say.
" OK" dad says and we walk back in.
"Shh we're here" i coo as dad gets some supplies of the counter and put them on the cart next to the bed.
"Sweetheart we're going to look over your body OK?" i ask softly as i look at her.
She shakes her head no.
"What sweetheart" I ask.
"me be uncovered then" she says.
"Shh only for a few minutes at a time and then we can get you into some PJ's." I explain.
She cry's harder and i look at dad for help.
"Hug her" he mouths.
I sits next to her and bring her tiny body into My arms.
At first she fights but once she realized i wouldn't hurt her she relaxed.
"Shh your OK baby girl" I say as i rest my chin on her hair.
She snuggles into me.
"Honey can we look you over?" i ask as i wrap her blanket around her.
She nods her head.
"But you stay" she says quietly.
" Shh I'll stay" i say as i set her back down.
"Emmett can i use your stethoscope mine will work but your will be easier to use since is a pediatric one" dad says.
I nod and pull it of my neck and hand it to him.
"Honey I'm just going to listen to your heart and lungs and then examine your chest and torso" Dad says as he pulls the blanket down to her waist.
She looks at me with fright.
" its OK sweetheart its just going to be a little cold" I say.
Dad quickly swoops in and sits behind her.
"Deep breaths little one" He says as he places the bell on her chest.
She does as shes told and dad gets back up.
"Everything sounds good with her heart there is a crackling noise in her lungs which is probably the early stages of pneumonia" Dad says.
"SO we'll need to get her on antibiotics then" I say as dad finishes looking over her chest.
"Mia hone Can you Lay back for me please?" i ask as i put the bed back.
She lays down and looks up at me.
"Sweetheart I'm just going to press on your belly softly to check for an abnormalities." I say as i place my hand son her warm flesh.
"I don't feel anything" I say as i pull back and cover her up with the blanket and dad writes down more information.
" OK little one i need to check your eyes ears,nose and throat" dad says as he steps towards her.
I sit in the chair and offer her my hand She takes it and squeezes it gently.
Dad quickly checks everything.
"We'll everything looks OK." he says and goes to write stuff down.
I groan knowing the next part would be hard for her.
"Honey we need to look at your legs" I say softly.
She whimpers and i look at dad in fright
" Honey has Travis ever touched you?" he asks.
" Hes grabbed my thighs" she says in fright.
"Shh sweetheart like I have said we will not hurt you. We just want to make sure your OK" I say and dad nods in agreement.
She sighs ad i quickly pick up the sheet and pull it up till i reach her belly button.
On her leg was a huge gash that would need stitches.
Dad goes to get everything while i run my hands gently up her legs.
When i get to her right one she cry's and trys to pull back.
I go to the door way.
" We need a portable X-ray in here please" I call out and then walks back in the room.
"Dad it feels broken and i think it might need surgery" I say and Mia screams.
"Shh its OK Mia baby your OK" I say as i nurse comes in with the x-ray machine.
"thank you Alexa." I say and Mia starts to panic at the machine.
"Dad take over" i say and go next to Mia.
"Shh sweetheart your OK" I say as i sit next to her and hold her hands in one of mine.
The other plays with her hair.
"Shh its OK Mia baby your OK" I say as i nurse comes in with the x-ray machine.
"thank you Alexa." I say and Mia starts to panic at the machine.
"Dad take over" i say and go next to Mia.
"Shh sweetheart your OK" I say as i sit next to her and hold her hands in one of mine.
The other plays with her quickly and painless as possible moves Mia's legs to get a clear X-ray.
Once he finishes he has a nurse take the x-ray machine and tells her to get the x ray printed.
"Emmett block her view please" He says and i see him starting to grab his stuff for stitches.
I nod and sit right in front of Mia so she can only look at me.
"Whats happening?" she asks but then screams when she feels the needle pierce her skin.
"Shh its OK sweetheart he just gave you some pain medicine so he can finish looking at your leg and clean up that gash" I say softly to her.
The nurse comes in with the x-rays and puts them on the light board.
" DO you need anything?" she asks.
" Not right now thank you"Dad says and the nurse leaves.
Dad finishes and we both go to look at the X-ray.
"Shes going to need surgery for this" Dad says.
" I know" I sigh knowing i wouldn't be allowed in the Operating room.
" I'll go get our ortho to come look at theses. Son relax i will be with her to" Dad says before leaving.
" Honey have you every heard of a surgery?" I ask. She nods.
"That's what my mommy needed after Travis abused her but she died" she cry's.
" Shh sweetheart its OK you not going to die we just need to fix your leg. I promise you" I say as dad walks back in with our pediatric ortho Dr. Greene .
" And this is Mia i assume?" she says with a smile. Mia nods timidly.
" Her X-rays are already up" I say and she walks to them.
" this is an easy fix. we need to re position the bones and then make sure the blood vessels weren't pierced" She says.
"Mia are you OK?" dad asks and i turn my attention to her.
Her heart was racing and she was panicking
. I quickly grab her and pull her to my chest.
" She's scared of surgery her mom died while in surgery. She thinks shes going to die to" I say over Mia's screams.
"Hush little one your OK" Dad says "I'll go get prepped Carlisle you will need to be to" Dr. Greene says and leaves.
"Dad can you get her some PJ's?" I ask as i stand up with her and wrap the blanket round her fully.
Dad exits the room and i coo softly to Mia.
She relaxes a little.
" Mia your going to be OK my dads going to be with you the whole time." I say.
" Your not going to be with me?" she asks.
" I'm sorry sweetheart but i cant. You wont even notice I'm gone you'll be sleeping the whole time" I say.
"Yes i will" she says.
" Shh I'll stay with you until you fall asleep OK?" I ask as i rock her from side to side
She nods and dad comes back with Surgical Pj's.
" here sweetheart" dad says as he hands them to her.
Mia takes them and dad and i both leave to let her get changed.
"Emmett?" she calls out.
I walk back in she was sitting on the bed.
" You ready sweetie pie?" dad asks as he UN locks the wheels on the bed. She shakes her head no.
"Shh its OK remember baby I'll be with you when until you fall asleep" I say as i help dad move her bed.
We get to the operating room and dad leaves to get scrubbed in.
A nurse hands me a surgical gown and helps me wheel Mia in the O.R. Mia looks around in fright.
"Shh sweetheart it OK" I coo softly as i pick her up and lay her on the metal table.
She squirms in discomfort.
Dad and walk in.
"Anna prepare the sleeping mask please' Dad requests as he stands on the other side of Mia.
Mia looks up at him in fright.
"Shh sweet angel your OK. We're making the pain go away" He says and Anna tinkers with machines before picking up the mask.
" Hello little one. This is just going to go over your face and help you sleep OK" she asks.
Mia looks up at me with fear.
" shh I'm here I'm not leaving" I say and Mia nods her head.
I take the marks from Anna and place it over Mia's nose and mouth.
" Just breathe normally sweetie" Anna says.
Within a few minutes Mia was starting to drift.
" I'll see you when you wake up sweet heart" I say as her eyes close.
"You should really think about becoming a dad " Anna says as she hooks Mia to the monitor.
I smile and then leave so they can start.
Once i get ot my office my phone blares.
I quickly pick it up.
" yes Alice?" I ask as i sit down.
"You know Anna is right. I've seen it" she says.
" Alice i don't know you know roses hatred towards humans" I say.
" But she wants a child Em" Alice says.
" I don;t know. Can you see how long she's going to be in surgery?" i ask.
" Yeah another hour and you'll be next to her when she awakens and em shes so happy to see you. She's perfect for rose" Alice says.
" OK but rose needs to meet her and have the final word." i say.
" i know but dad wont let her for at least two weeks but you need to get a room ready for her. I'll be there in ten minutes to give you some stuff to make her comfortable" Alice says and hangs up.
I sigh and get up. I go to the pediatrics wing and my personal nurse gets me a Private room for Mia. Alice comes in with two bags.
" here you go i will see you when you get home. Rose is still sleeping in your bed." She says and then leaves.
In one bag was a big fluff pillow and blanket.
The other bag had a few stuffed animals,movies,candy,a night light and a pair of shorts and a tank top.
I put the candy on the night stand for later.
I run back to my office remembering Mia's kitten was in there from when i took it when she went into surgery
. I quickly take it to the room and set i with everything else.
"Emmett,Carlisle is calling for you" My personal nurse Nikki says from the door.
" OK thank you" I say and walk to the O.R. Dad is standing there.
" There just finishing up and i think you should take her to her room and get her comfortable." Dad says and i nod.
Mia is soon wheeled out and dad grads one side and i grab the other side.
We take her to her room and dad rolls his eyes.
"Alice?" he asks and i nod as i pick Mia up and lay her down.
"Nikki" I call out.
"Yes Emmett?" she asks as she walks in the room.
" Can you and Shaina change her please. We will wait in the hall" I say and hand her the tank top and shorts.
Nikki nods and gets Shaina.
Dad and i wait outside the room listening to them struggle with her being asleep.
Once there done they come in the hall with death glares.
" thank you girls you can take the rest of the day off." i say as dad and i walk back in Mia's room.
I quickly get her comfortable.
" Your sister spoils her already" Dad says.
" Yeahs he says she sees me and rose adopting her but you won't let rose meet her for at least two weeks so Mia can heal" I say as i sit down next to Mia.
"OK then i guess i can get use to being called grandpa" Dad says with a chuckle.
Mia's heart starts to race a sign she was waking.
I take her hands into mine.
Her eyes pop open and she searches the room frantically.
" Mia" i say softly and her eyes land on me. She relaxes.
" Shh its OK I'm not leaving" I say as i cover her up again.
"Fuzzy" she says in awe.
" yeah fuzzy blanket and pillow" i say as i hand her kitten.
"Kitten" she squeals and i chuckle.
" how do you feel little one?" dad asks making his presence known.
" sore" she says as she looks at her casted leg.
" OK I'll get you some pain killers." He says and leaves.
"Are you OK sweetie?"I ask seeing her looking scared again.
"After i recover are you leaving me" she asks.
" No sweetheart your staying in the hospital for at least two weeks" I say as i smooth her hair.
"OK" she says happily and i chuckle she was the first kid to willingly want to stay in the hospital.
Dad comes back with pain medication.
He hands it to her with some water.
I help her with it and she gags at the taste.
"I know sweetie. It tastes bad" i say as i wipe a few tears from her cheeks.
"Lights out in ten doctors" A nurse says.
We nod and i turn back to Mia.
"Are you comfortable baby?" i ask as i tuck her in.
She nods her head and puts her arms up.
I hug her and kiss her forehead.
"Goodnight sweet girl" I say and then go t the door. Dad does the same thing and meets me by the door.
I quickly plug in the night light Alice gave me.
"See you tomorrow sweetheart. Nurses will come in periodically to check on you" I say as i sign off on her chart for the night.
She nods and cuddles into he covers. Dad and i quickly sign out and then leave.
When we get home we sneak in and head upstairs to our rooms.
I quickly change and get into bed. I wrap my arms around rose who moans in sleepiness.
"Emmie?" she asks.
" yeah its me baby" I say as i kiss her neck.
"What happened?" she asks.
"Abuse victim a little girl 3 years old." I say and rose gasps in shock and i see the fire rising in her eyes.
'Shh i promise no one will ever lay a hand on her and put anymore bruises on her" I say as i kiss rose who started to settle down.
" Promise?" she asks.
" I promise no more bruises" I say
