Chapter Two Just a Little Bug

Bella

I woke up the next morning a little bit congested. My back was aching a tiny bit. I was probably catching one of those flu's going around. I really didn't care because the love of my life was back in my life. He was laying beside me with his arm wrapped tightly around me. He had a grin on his face that made me wonder, what I had said in my sleep this time. "Good morning, Love" he said as I sat up. I gave a little cough and he stared at me with concern. He was clearly going to say I was sick and needed to see Carlisle. I looked him in the eye and said "don't say it. It is just a little flu bug. If you don't mind I need a human moment to get ready for school". He moved aside letting me into the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and hair. I got dressed and walked out of the bathroom. Edward was already dressed in a new outfit for school. We went into the kitchen where Edward had poured a bowl of cereal for me. But I did not have any appetite. My stomach felt kind of upset to eat. "Are you sure you are OK to go to school?" Edward asked with a raised eyebrow. I shot him a look and said "Edward, I have been sick before. What I have if called the flu, it is not a big deal. I feel OK enough to go to school, so I am going to school. Besides, I can't afford to miss school". He shrugged and put a couple oatmeal bars in his bag.

He lead me to the car and drove off to school. Alice and Jasper were waiting by Emmett's jeep for us. Edward had talked me into eating one of the bars he had brought. My stomach now felt full and upset. My first class was with Alice. She guided me to class and seated up really close to the door. Class began and I struggled to pay attention but my stomach was twisting and turning too much for me to pay attention. Alice's face went blank for a second then her hand suddenly shot up. She said to the teacher, "Bella isn't feeling well. Can I take her to the nurse?" The teacher nodded and gave us a hall pass. We got out into the hall and Alice pulled me towards the bathroom in time for me to throw up the oatmeal bar I had eaten. Alice patiently held my hair while I threw up. After I finished she handed me a wet cloth for me to wipe my face. I rinsed my mouth and face. Alice took my hand and led me slowly to the office. She signed me out and and walked me to Edward's Volvo. She started towards my house.

I put my head back against and said "I am so sorry you had to do that. Maybe I should have stayed home". Alice laughed and said "hey I would do anything for sister. Even if it means holding her her hair while she barfs". I coughed into my sleeve and noticed I was a little more congested. Alice took out her cell phone and dialed a number. I heard Carlisle on the other line. "Carlisle," Alice started into the phone. "Bella got sick at school so I am taking her to her house and I am going to spend to afternoon with her until Edward or her father come home". I heard Carlisle expressing concern but Alice simply said, "no need to worry, it's just the flu... Okay...Bye". She pulled into my driveway and helped me into the house. She ran upstairs at vampire speed and came down with blankets and a pillow. She set up the sofa and made me lay down. She went into the kitchen and began to make me something to eat. She came back with a bowl of chicken soup. I felt a sneeze coming on and she had a Kleenex by my nose as I sneezed. She made me eat then entire bowl of soup. "Edward is going to call in a couple seconds" she said pulling out her cell phone. She flipped it open before it rang and said "Edward, Bella threw up so I brought her home. I am already taking care of her". There was a brief pause and Alice tossed me the phone. "Bella, are you OK?" his voice pleaded. I answered with "it's just the flu, I'll be fine. I will see you after school. I have got to go, I need to get some rest". I handed the phone back to Alice and snuggled into my pillow. Alice talked to Edward for a minute and then hung up.

I fell asleep for a little bit, but I was awakened my sudden pain in my stomach. Alice had a bucket by my mouth just in time. She held the bucket with one hand and my hair with the other. She waited until I finished to get a cool cloth from the kitchen. She helped me upstairs to the bathroom and waited while I brushed my teeth and washed my face. I gave her a thankful face. Once I got back downstairs and went back to sleep. I woke up to hear Alice talking to Edward. "She has a slight fever. She is a bit congested and really exhausted. She threw up again after she talked to you and she has been a sleep since then," she explained to Edward. I groaned and opened my eyes. My head was pounding. Edward scooped me in his arms and said "I am taking you to see Carlisle, now". Alice shrugged and walked with us to the car. Edward didn't dare run with me because my stomach was still a bit queasy.

I sniffed and coughed in Edward's arms. "Bella, your teachers gave me your homework. You can do it tomorrow while you rest in bed" Edward said to me as we pulled into the Cullen's garage. Edward carried me into the house and set me on the sofa. "Carlisle, could you come here for a moment?" he called up the stairs, as if Carlisle were standing next to him. Carlisle was by Edward's side a second later. "What's up?" he asked quietly. I let out a cough in response. Carlisle was beside me a second later. He began to look me over. "Open your mouth" he said in his Doctor voice. Once he finished he said, "it is the flu. I recommend bed rest, fluids and more rest. You should be back on your feet in about a week. I want you to go back home and get straight in bed".

Alice ran into the living room and said in a very excited voice "I am going to be staying with you for the week". That was the last thing I heard before I fell asleep.

That was an interesting chapter. They don't yet know what's really wrong. Next chapter Bella is going to get worse. Next chapter will go up soon. Please review.
