Chapter 7

The waiting room

Carlisle's pov:

Esme and I made it to the hospital after "playing" in the forest. When we walked in there was no one there except the receptionist. She was a petite woman with shoulder-length brown hair and large hungry brown eyes. The name tag on her desk said Stephenie. She was reading some novel.

Her eyes followed us as we walked to the center to sit down. Esme and I payed no attention as we talked.

"She's staring at you Carlisle," Esme said too fast for Stephenie to hear us.

"Don't worry Esme, she's probably just curious as to why we're here," I replied to soothe her.

"Well if she touches you in any way...." Esme trailed off muttering about what she would do to Stephenie. I must admit the jealousy was kind of sexy.

Thankfully before anyone could get hurt my children came in, well except for Edward and Bella. Stephenie almost had a heart attack when she saw my children. Then Emmett decided to wave at her and I swear her heart skipped a beat. Rose growled she was obviously not happy.

"Where are Edward and Bella?" I asked to distract Rose.

"Last we saw them they were having a lot of 'fun' in Edward's Volvo." Emmett said turning fun into a suggestive thing. Oh, I wouldn't ask anymore questions. Of course, if they weren't in here by the time we started I was going to drag them both out of that car by their ears.

Just as I was thinking that I heard a low husky laughter (Edward) and shy giggle (Bella). When they walked in the door Bella realized everyone was watching her. She blushed and stumbled over to sit by Emmett and the others.

A few minutes later, a loud booming laugh filled the room. Emmett. Next a high soprano giggle joined him. I looked around confused. Then Edward, my most mature child Edward, was laughing so hard he fell out of his chair still laughing. Bella looked at him confused at which he whispered something into her ear which started her and Rose laughing.

Great, if Dr. Rotch didn't think we were crazy before he definitely would now. I looked around embarrassed. Stephenie looked around curiously.

"What is so funny?" I asked at vampire speed.

"Look at Dr. Rotch's name." Edward hissed between giggles.

"Compose yourself," my darling Esme snapped at our children.

The children struggled and eventually calmed down, except Bella who was still trying to regain her breath and stop laughing. That's when the Doctor came out.

Edward's pov

Bella and I walked into the office after we were done with our business in the car. I must say the waiting room bothered me. He had the walls covered by many diplomas that were super easy to get. Bella and I were laughing about our time in the car.

We sat there for a few minutes everyone wrapped in their own thoughts. Then Emmett's booming laughter filled the room. Alice started laughing after seeing a vision of what was so funny.

I read Emmett's thoughts to see what was going on. Look at the names on the diplomas. Mike Rotch. I started to laugh as I got it. Mike Rotch. Priceless. I fell out of my chair, I was laughing so hard. Bella was looking at me like she was questioning my sanity. I whispered to her what was so funny and she began to laugh too. Rose heard us and was soon laying on Emmett trying to suppress her giggles.

I saw the secretary look at us like we were crazy. And hey maybe we were. We were sitting there laughing at a guys name.

"What is so funny?" Carlisle asked me at vampire speed not wanting Stephanie to hear.

"Look at Dr. Rotch's name." I managed to choke out as I continued to laugh.

"Compose yourself," Esme snapped. We all tried to calm down. Was it really that funny? I blame Jasper.

Due to the serousness of Esme's voice we all struggled to calm down. Eventually we were all calm except my Bella who was still trying to regain her breath. Just as she was the office door opened and I was hyper aware that I was still sitting on the floor.

Dr. Mike Rotch's pov

I was sitting in my office mentally preparing to meet the Cullens. I must admit I am curious as to what could be wrong with them. Carlisle is so normal so perfect, and all of the nurses think he is beautiful. And according to my son Kevin the kids were the same way.

I was preparing to go out to meet them when I heard a loud laugh. I must admit it frightened me. Then other laughs joined in. There was a pretty loud BUMP! I wonder what that was. Eventually the laughter stopped.

I decided to make this my moment to walk out there. I opened the door slowly and was surprised to see a bronze haired boy on the floor. The second thought that struck me was how beautiful they all were, but as their therapist I had to stay objective.

"Hello," I said unsure of how to act.

I looked around at the Cullens. The boy on the floor was easily the youngest with his bronze hair. The doctor and his wife sat in a corner talking quietly. Then I looked to the corner where the children were sitting. The first on e that caught my eye was the huge boy. He was so large. Note to self: ask that one about steroid use. Next to him was a boy with blonde hair and a look of utmost boredom.

Then there were the girls. The one next to the large guy was tall slim and blonde. She looked like something off of a magazine. Then there was a small hyper girl who looked like a pixie sitting next to the blond boy leaning all over him. Then there was a brown haired girl sitting in th chair next to where the bronze haired boy was. She was blushing profusely.

I must say the bronze haired boy was fast. He quickly stood up and was the first to shake my hand. His hand was also cold. I must tell Steph to turn the heat up before our next session.

"Hello, my name is Edward." he said smiling at me.

Then the big boy, Emmett ran up and gave me a big bear hug. Obviously he has problems with peoples personal space. We would have to work on that. The thin blond one Jasper looked like he was in pain but he still came up to me and said. "Jasper, nice to meet you," with a slight southern drawl.

He seemed to be struggling with emotional problems. I would have to try to help him if the would let me. Then the blond girl who could be none other than the infamous Rosalie Cullen. She walked like she owned the place. Hmm, maybe she was a narcissist. Edward chuckled, like he could hear what I was saying.

Then the blushing Bella comes up to me she shakes my hand and I must say I was surprised her hand wasn't cold too. "Bella,": was all she said. She gave me a small smile. From what I knew about her she was the chief's daughter, a bit clumsy, and Edward's girlfriend.

When she shook my hand Edward got closer to her almost like he was protecting her. Definitely overprotective. Maybe a control freak. He looked at me in anger. What had I done?

"Hi my name is Mary Alice Brandon Cullen but you can just call me Alice." The hyper black haired girl said. I could barely make out her word. Hmm maybe she has ADD or ADHD (A/n: no offense to anyone who has either one of those.)

"Well, I would take you to one of the smaller rooms but you're such a big family, the only room I have to accommodate you all is the conference room." I said after the introductions.

I opened the door and led them in. Edward's arm never left Bella's waist. The hyper Alice turned around looked me in the eye and said. "Where's the couch?"

"What?" I asked a bit confused.

"You know the couch where we lay and spill our problems." She told me. Ahh that couch. Now I understand.

"They're in the other rooms, you may get to sit on one later." I told her calmly.

"Now," I said when they were all seated. "Who should we start with?" I asked.

Eight fingers pointed at Edward.
