Carlisle Cullen sighed as he took out the appendix which had burst before they could operate, the theatre nurse, mopped his sweat from his brow and taking a swab and saline liquid he started to slowly clean inside the abdomen, trying to ensure that everything was clear of the poison that it had leaked out, he knew she was at serious risk of peritonitis as it had been rupturing for days. Addressing the theatre staff, "she was extremely lucky, any longer and we would be looking at an entirely differently outcome. Are the parents here?"
"Yes, Doctor Cullen, they are," Nurse Andrews answered him.
"Well I've nearly finished now, so when I have finished stitching her up, I'll go and see them, this has been going on for some days, and did they not notice anything wrong with her. This could have been preventable at this level, this has been made more serious than was ever necessary," he stated grimly.
"Dad, how is she?" Carlisle had been on his way down to the parents room where he had asked them to put Bella's parents, Edward who had drove to the hospital with Rose, had left her with Charles and Renee while he waited in his father's office. "Hello Edward and yes in answer to your question, if it relates to a Miss Isabelle Swan, she is fine, for now she is stable but unfortunately it had burst which means we have to keep a close eye to make sure no infection sets in. Is she the young lady that has been causing your head to be all a muddle?"
"Yes", Edward put his head in his hands, "Dad, I'm in over my head, I'm in love with her, I can't stay away from her, she is the air I breathe.
"Well I can't tell you who to fall in love with, but, Edward you must be careful she isn't 16 for another month, your love is illegal, plus you are her teacher, I know if I tell you to stay away you won't, I felt the exactly same way about your mother Esme. So all I will say is be careful and now I must speak to her parents."
"Hello Mr and Mrs Swan, I'm the Doctor Carlisle Cullen, I have just finished operating on your daughter Isabella, well I have to be truthful with you, we came very close to losing her, by the time we had got her down to theatre her appendix had already burst, unfortunately that meant the poison was leaked on to her abdomen organs, putting her at great risk of peritonitis. We are pumping her full of antibiotics and if she keeps her temperature down we can safely say she came through it, she must have been in some discomfort and ill for a few days."
"Thank you Doctor Cullen, may we go and see her?" Even though Renee had been told her daughter was fine, she wouldn't be convinced until she saw her. "Yes but only for 10 minutes, she has only just came through major surgery." Renee waited for the doctor to disappear before turning on Charlie, "did you hear that Charlie, she's been ill for days and she didn't feel she could talk to us, we didn't even notice." She didn't even bother to wait for an answer before storming off to Bella's room to look in on her.
Edward waited for Charlie and Renee to leave before persuading the nurses to let him go and visit, the staff knew him through his father so told him as long as he didn't out stay his welcome and just reassured himself she was alright. He sat beside her bed side holding her hand, "Bella don't you dare try and leave me, you have my heart with you, without you, life is worth living, you're like my personal brand of heroin.
He knew it was going to be difficult but after coming so close to losing her, he knew he couldn't give her up, she owned him.
