Another odd end from my story BBH. Not so much an outtake, just a drabble which is no longer relevant. In this section Edward is sick and Dr. Bella is talking to his parents about it on the phone. I hope that you can follow since all the talking is on Bella's side. Esme and Carlisle's side of the convo is inferred. This has not been beta'd.
Thanks for reading.

Bella found Rosalie in the living room talking on the phone. "Yes, Mother I've already told you she's a doctor." Noticing Bella, she waved her over. "Mother, she's here now. Hold on."
Rosalie handed the phone to Bella. "Please talk to her?"
Bella reluctantly took the phone. Rosalie crossed her arms and listened. She knew her parents had more on their minds than her brother's illness.
"Hello, Mrs. Cullen this is Bella Swan. Yes, gastroenteritis. It could be food poisoning but he's been sick for more than 24 hours and he has a fever. Yes, I also ruled out appendicitis. When he wakes up I'll check again. I've given him some anti-nausea medicine and he's kept down some liquid-. Sure I'll speak with your husband.
"Hello, Dr. Cullen."
"Yes. Pediatrics-."
"I do, in developmental psychology."
"Of course I know Dr. Mallory, she's the chief of staff, after all."
"Three years. The Child Development Unit."
"Yes, I am aware that Edward is a lawyer. Really, summa cum laude? I had no idea."
"How old am I…ah Dr. Cullen, do you have any questions about Edward? If not, I should be getting my son ready for bed."
"Yes, Ben is 8-years-old. Well he is a very good chess player. Ben is very fond of Edward too. Fishing? They do go fishing. Yes, Ben loves camping too. He's in the third grade."
"Hello again, Mrs. Cullen. Yes I did live there. For a few years. Yes, a widow. Well, I'm not sure how that applies to this situation…"
Bella raised her eyebrows at Rosalie and mouthed, "Are you kidding me?"
Rosalie laughed and gestured for Bella to hand the phone back.
"Mom, It's me. Let Bella up for air, would ya?"
Bella signaled to Rosalie that she would be back later and left, quickly.
Poor Bella, beseiged by nosy parker, cullens.
