Hello! I managed to get this one in as I hoped. Yay! Hope you enjoy it!

Alice was up on her bed pointing and screaming.

"Emmett! Kill it! Oh my gosh! Why were those things even allowed to be created? Ewwww! Kill it!"

Emmett moved further into the room and stomped down on what I managed to glimpse to be a roach. I felt a shiver go down my back and turned away.

"There it's dead. Geez! I thought something was seriously wrong." Emmett said.

He walked into her bathroom and got a piece of tissue to pick up the dead body before throwing it in the toilet and flushing.

"It was something serious!" Alice murmured and shuddered.

Emmett just shook his head and sighed before sitting down on the edge of her bed. Alice looked at her older brother and moved over to hug him. I watched the two of them and gave a small smile.

"Thank you Emmett." Alice said and kissed his cheek.

Emmett rolled his eyes and I laughed. I quickly sobered, however, when I realized Emmett was about to tell me what happened to Edward.

"So what's wrong with Edward?" I asked.

Alice looked at Emmett, waiting to hear the news as well. Emmett took a deep breath and then began.

"Dad says he didn't know for sure, but he wants to believe Edward might've broken or cracked a rib or two. They had just gotten there so..." Emmett said with a sigh and placed his head in his hands.

"Well, I'm sure they'll let us know once they get information." I said.

"Yeah." Alice said and hugged her brother tighter.

"Alice, you probably fainted from all the stress, but I'm sure you need to eat something too. Let's grab a bowl of soup or something. Please?" I asked.

At that point, Emmett's stomach growled and we looked at each other before bursting out laughing.

"I'm gonna need more than just soup." Emmett commented and stood up.

Alice didn't let go and ended up piggy back riding down to the kitchen. I followed behind making sure the two of them didn't fall. Once we reached the kitchen, I looked in the pantry for all the soups. I didn't want to force Alice to eat something heavy, so I went with vegetable soup. Emmett searched the refrigerator for lunch meat and made himself a ridiculous sandwich. Once the soup was heated, I grabbed a small bowl for Alice and then one for myself. We all sat at the table and ate our lunches. After a while, the two of them started to yawn so I told them to catch a nap while I cleaned up.

Once the dishes were done and I walked up to Alice's room to see that she was asleep and then down to Emmett's room to check on him. He was also asleep so I walked back to the living room and called Jake.

"About time!" He yelled.

I had to pull the phone away from my ear for a minute.

"Geez! I'm sorry if there was a lot going on. I told you I'd call you back. Here I am calling you back." I said.

"So what happened? Where are you?" He asked.

"I'm at the Cullens. Edward had to be taken to the hospital, there's no word on what exactly happened, but his dad thinks it maybe a broken or cracked rib." I said.

"Oh, that sucks." Jake said.

"Yeah. Alice then decided that she wanted to just faint and Emmett wasn't too sure what to do, so that's why I left you so quickly." I continued.

"Oooohh. Is she ok?" He asked.

"Yeah, she's resting now. I managed to get her to eat a little soup." I said.

"Ah well, if they're alright, when are you coming back? Or should we postpone this for another day?" He asked me.

"We'd better postpone. I still haven't heard what the verdict is on Edward and at the moment, I'm not sure I should leave these guys alone." I said.

"What are you talking about? Emmett's there isn't he? He's a big boy. He can take care of himself." Jake was saying.

"I'm well aware of that Jake, but you weren't here just a few minutes ago. You don't know the whole story, or the behind the scene parts." I said slightly annoyed.

"Yeah well, let me know if you need anything. I'll talk to you later." He said.

"Yeah, later." I replied and we hung up.

I sighed and stretched out on the couch for a minute. I then heard a phone ringing and realized it was Emmett's. He'd left it on the table out here. I wasn't too sure what to do, but I picked it up and answered.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Umm… hello?" The voice said and I realized it was Carlisle.

"Carlisle, I'm sorry, this is Bella. Emmett's out so I answered the phone. I hope that was alright." I said.

"Oh, Bella. I thought I had the wrong number there for a minute. Is he ok? What about Alice? How are you?" He asked.

I took a deep breath and sighed.

"He was tired and fell asleep. Alice is resting too. I'm… I'm ok." I responded.

"That's good to hear." He said.

"How… how's Edward? Is Esme ok? Are you?" I asked.

He took a deep breath and I waited.

"Edward's got a couple cracked ribs, a broken one, and he's fighting pneumonia. Esme's with him now. She's the strongest woman I know and she's taking it rather well. I… I'm alright. Just… tired." He said.

I was sad to hear him admit it, but happy at the same time.

"Honey" I heard in the background.

Must be Esme.

"Es-Esme…" I heard on the phone, but then I heard something fall.

I frowned and tried to hear anything, but I couldn't.

"Carlisle? Carlisle?" I called.

There wasn't a response and I pulled the phone away from me long enough to make sure I hadn't hung up on him.

"Hello?" I heard and smiled.

"Esme?" I asked.

"Bella?" She gasped.

"Esme, what's going on?" I asked, the smile gone from my voice.

"I'll have to call you back. Something's wrong with Carlisle." She said.

I gasped.

"Of course. Please call us back later." I said and hung up.

What the heck? First it was Edward, and then Alice, and now Carlisle? I replaced Emmett's phone where I found it and curled up into a ball on the couch.

"What the heck is going on?" I asked.

"I don't know, you tell me."

I jumped about a foot in the air and turned around to see Emmett standing there. I grabbed a pillow and threw it at him. Of course he caught it, but it was still somewhat of a reliever.

"I don't want to be number four!" I practically yelled at him.

He merely looked at me as if I had grown another head.

"What are you talking about? Who was that on the phone?" He asked.

I took a minute to let my heart stop racing and then motioned for him to sit down.

"That was your dad, at first. He said that Edward suffered two cracked ribs and a broken one. He's also fighting pneumonia." I said once Emmett sat down.

He frowned and sighed.

"Well, those can heal in time and he's in the right place for the meds. What do you mean that was my Dad at first?" He asked.

"Your Mom got on after it turned out your dad collapsed. She said she'd call back later." I relayed quietly.

I could barely stand to look at Emmett. He was just so quiet and the next thing I knew he was up quickly and ran from the room.

"Emmett?" I called and ran after him.

He ran into the gym and just started throwing punches at the boxing bag. I felt sorry for the bag, but I was slowly worrying about Emmett using his bare hands instead of using the gloves. He was waling so hard into it.

"Emmett!" I called again and ran over to him to stop him.

He moved around to another side and hit the bag hard enough to knock into me and knock me on my ass.

"Oww." I cried and that seemed to bring Emmett out of his rage.

"Bella? I'm sorry. I didn't see you there. Are you ok?" He asked.

I rubbed my butt for a minute and slowly got to my feet with his help.

"Yeah… I'll live. Sorry, but… your hands." I said and pointed.

He looked down at them and noted the blood. With a shrug, he walked over to the nearest sink and washed them off before going into the cabinet to pull out the first- aid kit. He let me apply ointment on his hands for him and then I wrapped them.

"Thanks." He said as he looked down at my work. "You'd make a good nurse."

He said with a chuckle.

I merely shook my head and rolled my eyes before turning away and heading back towards the living room. I saw Alice looking around and wondered if she was looking for us.

"Alice?" I called.

She jumped.

"There you are! I was looking all over for you. What were you guys doing?" She asked.

I told her to sit down and gave her the update that I'd given Emmett. She had tears down her face once I had finished.

"Why us? What have we done to deserve this?" She questioned.

"Nothing. I'm sure there's a reason for all this, I just don't know what it is." I said.

"How about we head to the hospital? That way we don't have to wait around for a phone call. We could check in on the both of them." Emmett suggested.

I was a bit hesitant. It was one thing to be here for them, but I wasn't sure I wanted to see Edward. Oh who was I kidding, I probably wanted to see him more out of everyone in the room. Sighing, I nodded and looked to see if Alice needed any further convincing. She was already out the door towards the garage, coat in hand. I blinked and followed leaving Emmett to lock up once he walked out behind me.

"I hope they're ok." Alice said quietly as we got into Emmett's car and headed towards the hospital.

Once we reached the hospital, we called Mrs. Cullen to see which room everyone was in. With luck, both Edward and Dr. Cullen were in the same room. We headed up to ICU to see about everyone.

"Oh Alice, Emmett." Mrs. Cullen said as she saw us approaching.

She'd left the room in order to find us. She hugged her children tightly and gave an extra squeeze to Alice. She frowned, a bit, as she looked at her daughter, but she merely shook her head and turned her attention to me.

"Bella." She said and reached out her arms to me.

I stepped into her out stretched arms and allowed her to engulf me in a hug.

"Mrs. Cullen, how are they? Are they alright?" I asked.

She looked at each of us and sighed.

"You're father's resting peacefully" She said to her children. "Edward, however, hasn't woken up yet. He doesn't seem to be responding to the medicine too well. Dr. Grayson is seeing what we can switch him over to."

We started for the room and quietly went inside. I stood at the door a bit longer before I went in. My main focus was on Edward, but I forced myself to look at Dr. Cullen. He did look as if he was sleeping peacefully, but it was sad that it took a crash for him to get the proper rest he should've been getting at home. Emmett moved closer to his dad while Alice and I went over to Edward. I took a deep breath as I looked at him. There was sweat on his forehead and he didn't seem to be resting very well. His face was scrunched up in pain and he jerked as if he was having a bad dream. Suddenly his eyes flew open and he gasped in pain before he started gasping for air.

"Mom?" Alice called.

Mrs. Cullen quickly moved over to Edward to see what was wrong, but quickly asked me to get at nurse soon after.

I left the room and called for a nurse before returning to the room. The nurse took in the situation and paged Dr. Grayson. He entered the room five minutes later and requested the nurse to bring him two types of medicine. We were ushered out into the hall and left praying whatever was going on helped.

We stood there waiting for news and praying.

Dr. Grayson came back out of the room a few minutes later and walked over to us.

"I'm trying something a little different. He seems to be reacting to this medicine a little better, but we'll have better results in a few minutes or so." He said.

We all sighed and I looked at each person's face for a minute. I felt so sorry for the family. Any other time, they were constantly happy, the perfect family. Looking at them now however, it was hard to tell. I mean they were still the perfect family, the proof was in the fact that they were all here, waiting to find out what was going on with their sick family members. I stood up intending to get some fresh air. I walked to the elevators and rode one down to the main floor. I exited the elevator and walked towards the entrance doors of the hospital and looked left then right. Seeing a bench towards the right, I went that way and sat down. This was all too much.

"What is going on?" I asked out loud.

Just then my phone rang. I pulled it out of my pocket to see that it was Charlie calling. I blinked a few times and answered.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Bella? Were you on your way home anytime soon?" He asked.

"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry. So much has happened, I haven't had the chance to talk to you." I said.

"Well, now could be a good time." He said.

I told him everything and was shocked at the tears that were flowing down my face once I'd reached the end. He was silent for a while. I thought I might've hung up on him at one point, but I heard him take a breath before he started to say something.

"Bella, tell the Cullens I'm sorry that they are going through all this. Man, I'm glad they have you to rely on. I won't say I told you so, but I'm glad you're there. Take care of yourself now." Charlie replied.

"Thanks Dad." I said with a sigh.

"No problem. Call me if you need me." He said and hung up.

I nodded, but knew he couldn't see me. Replacing the phone in my pocket, I leaned my head against the wall and sighed again.

"Everything alright?" a voice asked.

I jumped and turned my head to see Emmett joining me.

"Oh, Emmett, are they ok?" I asked as I started to get to my feet.

"Yeah, the medicine's working better for Edward and Dad's just getting some much needed sleep. How are things on your end?" He replied.

"Oh good. That's good. Umm… Charlie was just checkin' on. I updated him on what's going on." I responded.

Emmett nodded. I quickly remembered the tears and wiped my face.

"It's cool Bella. I'd feel kind of bad is you didn't shed any." He said and reached over to hug me.

I stood there in his embrace for a while. With a sigh, I figured we should get back upstairs and see what had been going on while we were going.

"Come on. Let's go check up on everyone." Emmett said.

I nodded and we headed back inside.

Thank you so much for reading this chapter and my last ones. I managed to get this in and think of it as an early birthday present to myself. XD Leave me a review as a present? Thanks again. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
