Clinic Hours

"Leah are you ready?" I call

"Coming dad, I just want to grab a granola bar for later."

"Okay little one, I'll be in the car. I'll see you around 4:15 darling."

"I'll be there; I'll bring Leah a car so she can go see her mom after the clinic." Esme say's

The morning went rather smoothly, we did 3 well baby checks, 4 wolf physicals and 1 walk in that needed stitches. I decided to take my daughter to the diner for lunch.

"Ready to go little one, I thought I would take you to the diner."

"Thanks dad! That would be wonderful."

Once we got to the diner we saw Sue and Charlie who invited us to join them. We enjoyed our lunch talking about everything and nothing. I told Sue and Charlie how amazing Leah was doing since she was not telling her mom herself.

"I am so proud of you baby, soon we will have a nurse in our family." Sue said.

"And a Physician Assistant that is as soon as we are married." Charlie added.

I smiled at both of our ladies as they blushed slightly.

"Well I know 2 young ladies who will be hired instantly if I have anything to say." I say.

This gets the exact reaction I want they both blushed completely.

"Well I hate to say this, but we have to head back to the clinic. But before we go Charlie when can I expect you to come for your physical?" I ask.

"Well…Um…You see…"

"Charlie?"

"I'll call for him Monday Carlisle if that is okay for me to do?" Sue asks.

"Of course Sue, but when you call ask for me or my personal nurse Jessica. We will get him in as soon as possible. You are almost as bad as Billy, what will I do with you two."

Leah lets out a giggle as she had an idea of what I could do.

"Let's go little one, oh Sue I almost forgot Leah should be off around 4 – 4:15. Esme is bringing her a car so she can stay as late as you want. Please just have her call us when she leaves and she'll call you when she gets home."

"That would be wonderful, thank you Carlisle. Charlie is working afternoons so we can work on the wedding. I'll see you tonight baby. Have a good day."

"I will mom, love you. Love you Uncle Charlie."

"Love you too princess" Charlie says.

I am actually really happy Seth and Leah not only came to terms with Charlie and Sue getting married, but they picked a name to call Charlie that everyone is comfortable with. I personally think Charlie is more comfortable with this title than any other, especially since she will be married to their mom soon.

Back at the clinic I decided to do 2 more wolves physicals and Billy's. Sam has to almost carry Billy kicking and screaming.

"What is going on in here? William Ephraim Black Cullen what is all this commotion?

"Tell Sam to…wait…did you just call me Cullen?"

"Yes I did young man; you all are Cullen's as far as we are concerned. Now please answer my question, what is all this commotion?"

"Tell Sam to put me down"

"Sam you can put him down, I'm sure we won't have any issues will we Billy?" I say watching him closely.

Once again I hear Leah giggle as I turned her way I know hear Billy and Sam giggling.

"Okay what's so funny?"

"Uncle Billy got the dad look" Leah says

"And backed down Uncle Carlisle. I never thought I would see that happen so fast." Sam finishes.

Now we all burst into laughter.

"Well I am a bit older than him remember" I say laughing.

After we were done joking around and the only complaint Billy has was his Rosebud was not here, his physical went fine. He lost 15 pounds since the last physical and his blood pressure was 145/85. I am very pleased and tell him so.

"Keep up the good work and next time I may try taking you off your blood pressure medication. Now your blood test results…hmm…I am happy to report they are over all good. Your cholesterol is coming down, your total cholesterol went from 275 down to 220, your triglycerides from 200 to 165, your HDL which is your good cholesterol went from 45 up to 53 and your LDL which is your bad cholesterol went from 170 to 149. I am very impressed, but I would like to increase your Red Rice Yeast to 3 a day and Rosalie will help you with more food choices. Let's see your sugar now, hmm…fasting glucose went from 172 down to 146 and you're A1C from 7.1 down to 6.5. Well with your weight loss I must say your numbers are looking much better. I am very proud of you my brother, very proud."

"Carlisle, I promise I'll….Wait what did you just say?"

"I said I am very proud of you, and with a little more work with Rosalie we should see better results next time. So let's plan on your next blood draw in 6 months. Then maybe we can drop some medications completely."

"Thank you Car., no Thank you my brother. I will try. Rosebud makes it easier for me as she finds ways to allow me things I enjoy, just made a little healthier."

"I am so happy to hear that and I think you should tell her. Maybe you can give her more food idea's you like and she can find ways to prepare them, also I think you should tell her about your results too. She'll be so happy. Nurse Clearwater" I call.

"Yes Dr. Cullen"

"Could you please schedule Billy in 6 months for follow up labs? I would like a CBC, CMP, Lipid Panel, and A1C. If I think of anything else I will let you both know."

"Yes sir, Uncle Billy when you are ready I will set your appointment."

"Thank you sweetheart, I'll be right there."

After Billy was done, I finish up Paul and Jared's physicals and then work on paperwork.

"Hi Sweetheart, how was your day?" Esme asks Leah

"It was really good mom, thank you"

"I'm glad, is your dad in the back?"

"Yes he is he is finishing paperwork."

Esme heads back and finds me in the office.

"Hello handsome how was your day?"

"Hello beautiful, it was good. I had Billy and most of the boys come in for their physicals. Leah is doing amazing, always helping when I need her. Billy's labs are coming down nicely. I must remember to talk to Rosalie about it. Also I told Billy he should talk to her too."

"I'm sure he will. He really loves her and we both know the feeling is beyond mutual."

There is a soft knock at my door.

"Excuse me, Dr. Cullen?"

"Little one we're alone, you don't have to call me that. Clinic hours are done for the day."

"I know I just feel when we are at work I should. What would it look like at the hospital if I kept calling you daddy? She says with a giggle.

"Adorable if you ask me, it would definitely give those nurses more to gossip about." Esme says now laughing with our daughter.

"Alright you two, very funny." I say with a mocking glare. This just makes them laugh harder.

After about 5 minutes they finally calm down. Leah then tells us she is going to leave; we each got a hug and kiss before she leaves.

"I just want to finish these reports up and then we can go darling. It's almost 4:20 and even driving slow it should only take us about 5 minutes to get to their house."

"That's fine; I am just catching up on my magazines. Bella found a really interesting one on interior design and bought it as a surprise for me."

"Well that was sweet of her. You know how much you mean to her, to all our kids right?"

"No your wrong" Esme says

"What?"

"I know how much we mean to our children and what they mean to us and each other. Do you realize Jasper knows Bella is up to something but cannot figure it out, it's kind of funny?"

"I bet it is, since he has become so close to his baby sister. I bet it is."

A few minutes later we head out to Tony and Catherine's. Once we arrive I help my beautiful wife out of the car and walk up to their door.
