I got off the plane and made my way to baggage claim. Where I know my parents were waiting. My mom came running and gave me a big hug.
"I missed you so much" my mom said.
"Me too mom" I said. I knew mom was having a hard time with me being gone. I had been gone for a year in Iraq. I was back for two weeks for Christmas and New Year.
"How are you dad" I ask giving my dad a hug.
"Good son your mom was so excited when she found out you were coming home for a bit."
"I'm glad to be home for a bit too."
Dad help me with my bags and we walk out to dad's car. I was staying with them for the holidays.
"Have you been talking to any girls?"
"No mom I have been busy." My mom had wanted me to be in a relationship. My last relationship was a year ago. Her name was Tanya. She didn't like it because I was going to Iraq. She didn't want to be left alone for a year with only letters to keep her company. I didn't want to start another relationship and have to worry about her cheating on me. We got home for an hour later.
"Give me 30 minutes to get supper on the table" mom said.
"Ok I will go and unpack."
I walk up to my room. It had not changed one bit since I left. I couldn't wait for a home cook meal.
After 30 minutes I walked in the dining room.
"It smells really good mom" I said.
"Thanks honey come and set" mom said.
I sat down and mom brought in the food putting it on the table.
"How work going dad" I ask.
"Good I'm on call tonight so depends on the kids. If I get any sleep, but I love my job."
My dad work as a pediatric doctor. I'm a doctor also and thinking about coming to work with dad when I'm done with the military.
"Can I come with you if you get a call?"
"Sure that will be nice Edward."
We finished our supper. I decided to go to my room and read. I read for a couple of hours. I was falling asleep so I decided it was time to go to bed.
About 3:05 my dad came to my room.
"Edward I just got a call one of my patient is running a high temperature. I need to meet them at the hospital. You still want to come?"
"Sure dad" I got up and got ready quickly. When I got down stairs my dad was looking at some papers. We walk out to the car and head towards the hospital.
"Is there anything you can tell me about this patient dad?"
"No sorry son not without her mother's permission. She got a high fever that needs to come down."
When we got to the hospital. Dad got a room prepare for the patient. I stayed in the room while dad went to meet them at the front desk.
A few minutes later in step in the most beautiful woman that I have ever seen.
"Bella this is my son, Edward. He's here on leave from the army for a couple of weeks" my dad said.
"Hi Bella nice to meet you" I said sticking my hand out and she shoke it.
"Bella is it ok with you that my son is in here while I exam Faith" my dad ask.
"Sure DR. Cullen that's fine with me" she said handing the baby in her arms to my father. Bella turn around and got her other two daughters in a chair to set and wait.
Looking at Bella I notice she seem to be tired. I wonder if her husband helps her out with the girls. I could only guess not because she brought all three girls with her.
"Ok you two I need you to set here and be good girls. So I can talk to the doctor about Faith." Bella said to the girls.
"Bella would you mind if I grab some books and read to the girls" I asked hoping to help. Bella looked at me surprise.
"Sure Edward that's fine" she said. I went and grab a couple of books and sat down in between the girls and read to them. It wasn't long before they were asleep again. I look over to Bella and my dad they had Faith on the bed with an IV in her arm.
"Is she going to be ok" I ask
"Ya she just had an ear infection with a cold" said dad putting a cold wash cloth on her forehead.
"Bella I'm going to admit her for a day or two" my dad told Bella
Bella look at the girls sleeping next to me
"Bella so you want to call your husband to pick up your other daughters" I ask
"No Edward I'm a single parent and my dad is my only family that lives close by" Bella said. I look at my dad. Bella couldn't be at the hospital with one daughter and at home with the other two at the same time. Carlisle excuse himself for a second. I know my dad was thinking the same thing and went to call my mom. Bella was looking at Faith and running her hand though her hair. Faith had fallen asleep. After a few moments my dad came back in.
"Bella I know you don't have many people to help and I know your not going to want to leave Faith here alone" said dad.
"Yes DR. Cullen what's going on?"
"Well I called my wife, Esme and we would love to have Natasha and Tina at our house till Faith gets out of the hospital" my dad said.
"I would hate to impose on you guys. I will figure something out."
"No Bella your not imposing we are offering let us help you."
"Ok DR. Cullen but I want to meet Esme first."
"Of course and call me Carlisle" she nodded and went back to run her hand through Faith's hair. Dad went out and called Esme to get her to come to the hospital.
