BPOV
I was very frustrated. Only that this time it was not because a vampire was chasing me, or because my mortality had caused a disagreement between my vampire family. Crazy as it sounds, they were common occurrences in my life. But not this time. This time it was because of something as simple and mundane as a toothache. Even if I was used to going to the doctor at least once every month due to my clumsiness, the dentist was something that I always managed to avoid. Not that I would ever admit that I prefer fighting a newborn army before having to face a dentist. Once again I tried to grab a bite of my tuna sandwich, having the same result: An intense wave of pain that threaten to disable the right part of my jaw forever.
"Still with pain kiddo?" asked Charlie as he entered the kitchen.
"Don't worry Charlie, it's nothing that a day or two of soft food will not manage". Still, I knew that today I would not be able to eat anything solid, so I wrapped my sandwich for putting it in the fridge. Maybe Emmett would like a bite. Why did he always wanted to try human food was beyond me.
"Look Bells, I know that you don't like going to the dentist, but I have heard you all week complain while you are eating." I didn't like the sound of that. I turned around to face Charlie as if looking at his eyes would change the fearful words that I knew were coming.
"That's why I made an appointment for you."
Yep, fearful indeed. It was time to take out the cavalry.
"Daddy, I am sure that… "
"Don't Daddy me Bella. I know that you don't like going to the dentist. That's why I called Carlisle"
"You called Carlisle?!" Oh god, what would my future father-in-law think about my refusal to go to the dentist by free will, or whatever Charlie had told him
"Yes, because if someone should know a good dentist it's him. So don't worry, just go with him and tonight you will be able to eat as usual as always".
Tonight?
"Wait, Charlie, are you telling me that Carlisle is going to take me to the dentist today? "
As if answering the question, the doorbell rang. Sure, Carlisle being a vampire and being able to hear the conversation from outside the door had to give him some clue, but did he have to time his interruption so perfectly?
As I moved to open the door I couldn't stop myself from murmuring "stupid vampire powers". When I opened the door I found a very amused Carlisle chuckling at my bad mood.
"Good morning Doc.", greeted Charlie as he went to the door and shook Carlisle's hand. "Thanks again for agreeing to take Bella. I wish I could, but I really can't avoid going to work"
"Don't worry Chief, I assure you that I have no inconvenience with accompanying Bella. I will bring her back as soon as my college finishes the treatment"
With both of them agreeing that the best thing for me was going to the dentist, even if I strongly disagree, I knew that it was not a fight that I could win.
"All right Charlie, you win. I will go with Carlisle".
As quickly and careful as I could, because having one medical appointment for the day was bad enough, I went to my room and grabbed my bag and money for the dentist. I knew that Carlisle would not allow me to pay, but I still feel that I had to try. After all, they were my teeth the ones that were being taken care of.
Fighting the blush that wanted to make itself notice, I went down the stairs and met Carlisle in the door. I said a quick goodbye to Charlie, and followed Carlisle to his car.
