Ok guys. My heart goes out to all of the families who were affected by the recent terrorist attack As well as eveyone who has lost a friend, parent, sibling etc.
When the Boston Marathin bombing happened, I was with my grandma in the car and we heard it over the radio. Her brother used to always run in it and we all thought that was where he was. She pulled over and called his cell. When he didn't pick up we panicked we went home and called his wife and she said that his phone died and was on the charger. She put my unckle Dan on the line and we had a long session of "I love you"s and "Were glad you're safe"s. Thankfully he decided to stay home cuz his daughter was pregnant and he didn't wanna miss the birth. We were all very relieved and happy that he was safe at home with his wife and daugher. When we called they were super confused because they hadn't heard yet. I will never forget where I was when the Boston Marathon bombing happened and I will never forget how scared I was when I heard about it.
Here's the next chapter. Carlisle's POV. Enjoy!
I placed the last of my paperwork into my briefcase. And placed it on the floor next to the coat rack on my way out to the back yard. Edward was waiting on the back portch with Bella, Nessie and Jake. I could tell that Edward wasn't entirely happy with Nessie sitting in Jake's lap. But she was still slightly worried about him from this morning.
Edward turned as I approached then stood.
"Where are you going?" Bella asked. I guess Edward didn't tell anyone about our run.
"Carlisle and I are going to go for a run. I will be home in time to tuck Renesmee in."
She started to stand. "I'll come with you."
"No. That's fine. We just wanna have a father-son kind of a run."
"Okay." She sat back down and Edward moved over to Nessie and Jake.
"Have fun, keep your mother out of trouble. I'll be home to tuck you in." Bella crossed her arms and glared at the back of his head. He lightly chuckled. She must have had her shield down.
He turned to me. "Let's go." He ran toward the river and I followed him. I could tell he was running slower than he really wanted but he let me keep pace with him. Soon we reached the river and jumped over it. We ran for about another mile before he stopped.
"I had an idea yesterday. Ur gonna think its crazy but I've thought it out. Alice has even given me a little input on the subject. It will take years to complete but those years will be well worth it."
What in the heavens are you talking about?
"Be patient, Carlisle. I'm getting there. When Jacob fell, the whole family - even Rose - wished that there was more than one doctor in the family. They all wanted to help Jacob. What if we opened our own hospital as a family." Edward was polightly silent as I considered the posibilities.
What about Jasper? I doubt he could handle being in an operating room for very long.
"Hospital psycologist. He already has his digree. All we'd need to do is have Jenks create some fake identities, just as bank acounts to fund the hospital. Once its up and running you would be the head surgeon. Rose would love to work in the NICU. Alice would be best placed in the ICU so she could be ready if something happens. I could work in the emergency room or something. Emmett would probably work well there too. It would look more believable if he lifted patients when the need came compared to Bella or Alice. We can make it work!"
What about Esme? Or Jacob and Renesmee?
"Esme can be a secratary or nurse. Pretty much whatever she wants. We'd have to ask Renesmee and Jacob. They might not even want to work at the hospital and that would be fine. We can encourage everyone to choose their job at the hospital based on their skills and weaknesses."
It was hard to argue against him. Mainly because his argument pleased me. Give me a while to seriously consider this. You'll be the first to know my answer.
"We should tell the rest of the family so everyone can decide together. If it doesn't work out the way we plan we can resign and let new people work there and we can simply invest in the hospital."
"Ok. Let's go. I'm all for it. While were away on Isle Esme we can have the physical building built. Let's get home and get started. Race ya!"
"Oh, you're on, old man!"
On go... 3... 2... 1... Go! And we ran. I managed to keep up with him till we reached the river then I landed a little later than him and I was just a step behind him the rest of the way.
Sadly, by the time we got home the house was silent. Everyone was getting ready for night time. In the morning then? Edward nodded. I watched as he ran toward his cottage and I headed up to my room where my wife was brushing out her long, beautiful hair.
"How was your run?"
"We had a great time. We raced all the way back."
"Oh? How did that go?"
"It was closer than you would think." We climbed into bed and held each other for hours.
Ok guys. This is all you're getting till I get 3 more reviews. So I wanna see reviews soon.
