C. POV.
I had just finished up with clinic hours at the reservation and decide I would go through the charts of the pack and their imprints. I want to make sure everyone is up to date with their physicals and vaccines. So far the pack is up to date, I have already scheduled Emily, Bella and Sue for their yearly exams, and Claire and Skylar for their vaccines. Rebecca has asked to see Catherine, and Rachel is all up to date. Leah is the next I am checking; I notice she is due for a complete physical. "Leah," I call.
"Yes Dr. Cullen?" Leah answers as she comes back.
"I see it's time to schedule your annual exam, you have a choice of Catherine or myself to do it. I am however going to ask you to do it soon though," I tell her.
"I should be done with my cycle by this weekend; can I do it a week from that Monday? I am scheduled to work here so I can come in early or stay late," Leah offers.
"Little one, we can do it during hours, I just need to know who you prefer doing it," I reassure her.
"I don't really care Dad. I am comfortable with either of you. I mean you already know everything about me and have done it in the past, you get me my prescriptions when I need them, I guess whoever is free at the time," Leah replies shrugging.
"Okay, let's say 1:00 a week from this coming Monday. This way it's right after lunch. I will schedule you with me, and if something comes up I will ask Catherine to do it. It looks like we just need to do your exam; your immunizations are all up to date," I inform her.
"Okay dad, ah… dad?" Leah asks.
"Yes Little One?" I invite.
"Thank you for caring about us so much," Leah answers hugging me.
I pull her on my lap holding her for a moment and say, "my pleasure, my true pleasure," before I kiss the top of her head. "Are you ready to go home?" I ask.
"What about your paperwork?" Leah quires.
"I only have a few charts left; I can bring them home with us. Plus I want to talk to Angela about setting her for a physical also. As newest family member I think it's a good idea," I say.
"Me too," Leah agrees.
I grab the charts and my bag then we head out to the car, I decide to take the longer way home giving Leah and I a chance to just talk and catch up. Once we arrive home we notice Charlie and Sue's car, as we enter we see everyone in the living room watching Angela and Emmett playing Mario Karts against each other.
"I WIN!" Angela shouts excitedly.
"You cheat, I don't know how but you cheat," Emmett complains.
"Oh give up, she's just better than you are," Edward teases as everyone laughs.
"So what's going on?" I say to get their attention before something else transpires.
"Emmett's just mad that Angela beat him 3 times in a row," Peter informs me chuckling.
"She cheated Pops," Emmett grumbles.
"I don't think she cheated Emmy, I think it was just luck," I tell him. As I am trying to settle the argument, Sue and Charlie come over and ask to talk. They ask if Seth and Leah were free for a weekend. They tell Esme and me they want to take them and Bella away for a long weekend to San Juan Islands before the weather gets cold. Charlie tells us he will be checking his schedule and calling with possible dates. They are all excited until Seth realizes he will be away from Angela for the first time.
Apparently Rose caught this too and decided to reassure him. "Hey cubby, don't worry. We've been waiting to kidnap her and have a sisters/girls weekend. So now we get to have it twice," Rose says.
"Twice?" Angela asks.
"Well of course silly, it can't be a true sisters weekend when two sisters are away," Alice chimes in.
"Oh," Angela answers still surprised.
I decide maybe I should step in. "Angela, once you are accepted in this family you become one of three things; a sister, a cousin, or an aunt. Since Seth is their brother and you are his imprint you are their sister and our daughter," I say smiling at her.
"I didn't think you thought of me like that, I'm… I'm… thank you. Rose, Alice I would love to spend time with you," Angela tells them blushing.
"YAY! So it's settled, pre-sisters weekend is on. We can go shopping, do each others nails and hair, and watch movies all night…" Alice babbles.
"Alice, calm down before I say no," I say to her.
"Sorry Daddy, it's just we have a new sister to play with," Alice apologizes.
Everyone starts laughing while I remind her, "she is not a toy Alice Cullen, you will respect her wishes."
"Yes Daddy," she replies with a pout.
I just shake my head. Afterwards we say our good byes to Sue and Charlie. "Seth why don't you walk your Mom and Uncle out to their car. I would like to speak with Angela for a moment," I tell him
"Okay Dad," Seth agrees.
"Angela would you come with me please? No you are not in trouble," I reassure her quickly.
"Okay Mr. C," Angela agrees.
"When will you start calling me Carlisle?" I ask.
"I'm sorry, it's just I was raised to show respect, to address adults by Mr., Mrs., or Miss.," Angela answers.
"I understand, but we have given you permission in the house and at the reservation to use our first names." I remind her.
"I know sir, I will try," Angela replies.
"That's all I can ask. So I asked you up here to talk to you about planning your physical. Why don't we plan to do your physical the Friday Seth and Leah go with Sue, Charlie, and Bella on their trip. This way if you have a reaction to any vaccines you may need you'll be here and I can take care of you. It shouldn't take more than an hour or so for me to do it, then you can spend the rest of the weekend being spoiled by your sisters, Esme and I," I suggest.
"Okay, that sounds good to me. Do I need Mom or Dad to sign anything for you to do this?" Angela asks.
"No, you are 18 now so you can choose to do this yourself," I tell her.
"Okay," Angela acknowledges.
The rest of the evening the kids continue playing games and enjoying their time together. I only had to prevent one more argument from happening this was over Wii Bowling. It however gave me an idea for an outing for our family that will include Angela. I look at the clock and decide maybe Seth should take her home; he will need sleep before he patrols. "Seth I think it's about time you should take Angela home. You need to get some sleep before you patrol in the morning," I remind him.
"Okay Dad, mac tíre cailín are you ready?" He asks as he extends his hand out for her.
We look at him, though I know what he is saying no one else does. "It's Irish," I whisper to Esme.
"What does it mean?" Esme asks.
"Wolf Girl," I tell her.
"Aw," Esme sighs happily.
"I am mac tíre pup," she says taking his hand. As she stands he kisses the back of her hand. He then brings her to say good night to us.
After we hear Seth's car pull away I whisper to Esme she said "Wolf Pup." We start heading upstairs when my phone rings. I see its Charlie. "Hi Charlie, is everything okay?" I ask.
"Yes, I just thought I would call with possible weekend dates, I hope it's not too late to call," Charlie explains.
"Not at all, let me grab my calendar, oh and while I have you on the phone we were wondering if you and Sue would be interested in…"
