Emmett POV
The trainee nurses were observing Carlisle so funnily enough, he couldn't skip my medical examination. Rosalie had got bored ages ago and gone to sit in the waiting room but I was still half-covered in foam and my shirt had been mostly burnt away. Those trainee nurses were having a hard time concentrating on Carlisle, what with my bulging muscles exposed for all to see.
"Emmett, if you could write your name for me please," Carlisle instructed me. I took his pen and scrawled my name on a piece of paper. He nodded and held it up to show the nurses. "If there was any issue with co-ordination or writing, the patient may be in shock or injured in some way." About ten twenty year-old nurses gazed at us in awe.
"Umm, Doctor Cullen, shouldn't we give the patient a copy of this?" One of the nurses held up a pamphlet on fire safety. Carlisle nodded.
"Well done Sophia. Emmett, if you'd like to take a copy of this leaflet from Sophia." I reached out.
"Thanks Sophia, this looks really interesting!" Just the flames on the front cover made me nervous. Next door, in the waiting room, I could hear Jasper and Edward laughing at me. Shut up mind-reader, I thought. You want me to swipe you a leaflet on teenage sex in case you and Bella ever decide to move your relationship past the lips? Even from Carlisle's room, I could hear his low growl. Ok, fine. I told him. Maybe I'll just tell Bella about the time when you tried to practise snogging on my Vera Lynn cut-out. A snort came from next-door. Hey, I thought that she was hot in the thirties! And so did you, by the sounds of it.
Jasper POV
Carlisle came out of the room, surrounded by about fifteen young nurses who were all gazing lustfully at either him or Emmett. I sent waves of lust at Emmett just to...spice up the situation.
"Hey sweetie," Emmett drawled in a strange Texas accent. I thought that I was supposed to be the one from Texas?! Maybe he thought that the accent sounded sexy...
The young nurse giggled and blushed about two million shades of red before burying her face inside Stop Drop & Roll: Fire Safety magazine. What a stupid thing to waste paper on. Why cut down the rainforest to publish something that could actually be used as kindling in a fire? Humans were pretty stupid at times. Edward growled.
Not your stupid human, I added silently. For Aro's sake, you act like her father at times.
"Children, Emmett has decided that he needs to stay in overnight," Carlisle told us, in obvious annoyance. Alice stifled a giggle behind a magazine that she'd found in the waiting room; Fashion For Idiots. She had been trying to force Bella to take a look but Bella was more interested in Edward lips than what Alice wanted her to wear.
"Oh poor Emmett!" Alice exclaimed, ever the overreacting sibling. "He's...going to....survive though, right?" I had to admire Carlisle for his never-faltering calm. If I was him, I would have bitten Emmett's head off by now.
"He'll survive." Carlisle replied.
"Maybe we should visit later this evening!" Alice cried. I caught a huge waft of anticipation coming from her. I guessed that she'd had a vision that she couldn't wait to see in action. Edward's mouth twitched upwards in a half-smile. Whatever had almost made him laugh was definitely going to be good.
"Yes, visit me!" Emmett begged, pouting at the nurses for sympathy. They all sighed straight away. Rosalie scowled at him and picked up a leaflet for abstinence. Edward was trying hard not to laugh.
"We'll come back later," Alice promised. "I hope you're still alive, Em."
