Saving Katelyn and Benjamin ch.9

(Carlisle's POV/3 weeks after last chapter)

Esme and I were hanging out with ben while Katie slept in our room after getting her chemo treatment.

"When will Katie be able to play?" he asks.

"Not for a while buddy but later today you can take some board games up and you guys can play" I say and he nods and goes off to find some games for later. My phone starts to ring.

"I need to take this" I say and walk into the kitchen.

(After phone call)

"Esme I need t go into work, the need me for an emergency surgery" I say softly.

"Ok go" she says.

"You sure you're going to be fine with the kids? I could call Edward" I say realizing now that everyone was gone hunting.

"No we will be fine" she says and I nod before going t my office to change. When I'm done I kiss esme good bye and leave.

(Katie's POV)

When I wake up I see the now familiar color of mommy and daddy's room.

"Katie your up" ben says excitedly and I groan.

"Ben shh your sister is jut waking." Mommy says as she walks in the room.

"Daddy?" I ask looking around.

"He got called into work a few hours ago but he will be home soon" She says and sits next to me.

"I want my daddy" I whine and start to cry.

"Shh it's ok Katie, daddy be home soon, we can play a game until he gets home" ben says as he climbs on the bed.

"Don't cry sissy" he says softly.

"Shh sweet pea he will be home soon" mommy coos as she rocks me front side to side on her lap.

"Want daddy" I say and start to cry again.

"Ok I'll go call him see if he's coming home soon" mommy says and sets me on the bed and walks out of the room. She comes in a few minutes later.

"Daddy can't come home for a few hours sweetie pie" she says and I start to cry.

"Shh you're ok" mommy says and picks me up. She lets me cry until I fall asleep on her shoulder. When I wake up again mommy is sitting with me on her lap.

"Daddy?" I ask and look around.

"Still at work baby" She says and I start to cry.

"NOOOO WANT DADDY" I cry and mommy sets me down on the bed and rushed out of the room. I throw my fit and keep screaming for daddy.

(Carlisle's POV/ After Esme's first call)

"Dr. Cullen your wife is on line three" Nicole says as she walks past my office.

"Esme what's wrong this is the second call in two hours" I say as I answer.

"Your daughter is throwing a tantrum cuz you're not here" Esme says and I listen and hear Katie screaming and crying for me. I sigh and stand up.

"OK I'm coming home" I say.

"I'll see you soon" esme says and hangs up. I grab my stuff and rush down to the car.

"Nicole I need to go my daughter needs me" I say.

"Ok I'll tell the director" She says. I get in the Mercedes and rush home. When I get there I park it and then fly upstairs. I walk at a human pace when I reach the third hall way. I walk at s human pace to my room where Katie is screaming for me. I open the door and run in and pick Katie up.

"Shh daddy's home now" I say as I kiss her flushed forehead.

"Shh relax baby daddy's here now" I coo and rock her side to side as she sniffles.

"Don't leave me daddy" she whimpers and grips onto my scrub top.

"Shh I won't Baby I'm sorry the hospital needed me" I say and sit with her on the bed. She curls up on my lap and lays against me. I rub her back and whisper softly to her. I look over to the door to see if esme is there when I see blood on the end of the bed. I look down at Katie's hand and the IV port wasn't there.

"Esme" I call and she comes in the room.

"Did you notice that she ripped her IV out?" I ask and esme shakes her head.

"I bet she did it when I called you when she was throwing her tantrum." She says.

"Can you get my bag please" I say and she nods and leaves. I position Katie on my lap so I can get a new IV in.

"Shh baby its ok" I say as she starts to whimper.

"No needles" she whimpers and grips my scrub top tighter and try's to hide her hands under her stomach as she lays on my chest.

"Shh homey please don't fight me" I say softly as esme comes in with my bag. She hand me the needle and IV stuff. I take it and prep it and then turn my attention back to Katie. Esme helps me pull her from my chest.

"Shh baby" I coo softly as she screams like someone was murdering her.

"Honey stop it, you can sit on my lap but I need to get this in" I say as esme tries to set her on the bed but she screamed saying she wanted me.

"No daddy" she says and glares.

"Then you're not sitting on my lap sweetie, all I need to do is get your IV port back in. it's just on little pinch and the needle is removed" I say softly. She starts to cry and reaches for me. I shake my head no and she shake her head yes.

"Can I put your IV back in?" I ask and she nods slowly. I pick her up and set her on my lap. Taking her hand I rub soothing circles.

"Shh" I coo softly as I put the needle in and she whimpers. I quickly finish and tape it down.

'There baby girl all done" I say and kiss her forehead. She lays against my chest and I rub her back to calm her down. She relaxes and ben pokes his head in

"Play?" he asks and I nod and he runs down the hall. He comes back with Uno and a few board games. Esme comes in and sits ben on her lap. Esme and i play two rounds with them and then let them play against each other.

(2 hours later)

"I think its bed time" I announce as Katie yawns and leans into me.

"I agree" esme says as she stand up and picks up ben and takes him to his room. I get up and set Katie down. I hand her some PJ's and UN hook her IV.

"Go change baby" I say and she nods before walking towards the bathroom. I quickly change and get the bed ready. Katie comes out yawning and stumbling.

"Need help baby?" I ask and she shakes her head and slowly but surely make it to the bed. I pick her up and set her in the middle.

"Honey can I see your hand with the IV?" I ask and she holds it out to me.

"Honey what color?" I ask as I look into my bag for gauze.

"Pink" she says and I nod and take out the hot pink gauze and wrap it around her port.

"There sweetheart" I say and put the gauze away and sit next to her as she lays down and gets comfortable. Esme comes in and goes to change. After a while she comes out and sits next to Katie on the other side.

"Sleep sweetheart" I coo softly and play with her hair. She falls asleep soon after.

"I guess I can't work until she's done with her treatment" I say and esme nods. I lean over Katie and esme meets me half way. I kiss her lips and she wraps her hand in my hair.

"Love you know we can't we have no one to watch them" I say and esme leans back.

"I know" she says sadly.

"I'll make it up to you" I say and she nods and lays down. I lay down and turn off my bed side lamp.

"I love you" I say.

"Love you to" esme says and then we sit there in silence until we both fall asleep.
