Carlisle POV
"Edward come on let's go!" I called up the stairs waiting for my youngest son to emerge from his bedroom. It was eight weeks today that Edward had runaway and he was due to get his cast off - something he was looking forward too but dreading at the same time.
"Sorry daddy, I couldn't find my CD" he spoke as he 'clunked' down the hallway. I rolled my eyes and ushered him out the doorway and into my Mercedes. Securing him in his car seat I pulled away before pushing in his CD.
"Guess what CD it is daddy!" Edward's face broke into a smile. I had to laugh at the eagerness of his face.
"Errm how about 'Bob the Builder?"
"NO! Silly daddy!" I laughed at his disgruntled face.
"Transformers?" I questioned. I took in the look in his eyes and I knew exactly what was coming.
"Try again daddy!" Edward was forcing back the giggles, realising I was struggling at this game.
I mock-sighed as I pulled into the hospital car park. "I think you have me there son. Daddy's stuck!"
Edward laughed heartedly as I got him out of the car and picked him up into my arms to save time.
"Well….." He teased me softly as I walked though the doors into the outpatient's department. I raised my eyebrows at him and tickled his back softly to force the answer out of him.
Through his giggles, he managed to splutter out "Turtles". I laughed.
"So we had teenage ninja mutant turtles on did we?" He beamed at me as he knew my disgust for the cartoon and it's violent ways. I tickled him again as I checked him in.
The Receptionist smiled as Edward gave off a round of more cheeky giggles.
"How are you today Edward?" She questioned softly. I managed to stop tickling him long enough so he could answer accurately.
"I'm fine thank you, and you?" He asked interested. I smiled his manners were impeccable as always.
"I'm fine thank you. Take a seat Carlisle it won't be long" She smiled at me.
"Thanks Audrey. Come on giggle monster" I carried him away and walked round into the waiting area. Edward's face lit up as he saw Bella was there too.
"Renee! Lovely to see you" I greeted Bella's mother as I sat down placing Edward next to Bella so they could play.
"Carlisle how are you?" Renee smiled at my greeting.
"I'm fine and you?" I kept an eye on the kids. Both were as clumsy as each other.
"I'm not bad thank you. All things considered" Renee was what Esme termed to be 'Skittish' and she never ceased to be involved in new hobbies. Bella took after her father and was very mature for her age.
Before the conversation could continue, "Edward Cullen, Bella Swan" was called out and Renee grabbed our respective child and lead them to other sides of the department much to their disgruntlement.

Bella POV (Thought I'd make a change)
I smiled timidly as mummy took me into the waiting area. I was having my plaster taken off today which was good as it was way too itchy. Mummy had told me, I could go to the bookstore if I was good, so I was determined to be on my best behaviour.
I wasn't waiting long before a familiar face walked in. Edward. I smiled happily and we began to play with the toy keyboard as our parents spoke when suddenly both of our names were called.
"Bye Edward see you in a minute!" I called as I followed Andrea, the nurse to my room.
"Bye Bella. Race you to X-ray!" He called back and I giggled. It had become our game to see who could get X-rayed first.
"Okay Miss Bella, are we ready to get this cast off?" I bounced a little too eagerly at Andrea and slid out of my seat and landed on my bum with an "oomph". Mummy and Andrea burst out laughing before helping me to sit on my seat again, where Andrea used the saw-thingy to cut my plaster away.
I smiled, I would beat Edward yet.

Edwards POV
"Bye Bella. Race you to x-ray!" I called over my shoulder. Daddy smiled at me as we went into the room following Ben my nurse.
"Life's one big competition. You've been spending too much time with Emmett!" Daddy teased me as he sat me on the bed.
I poked my tongue out playfully and grinned. I loved spending time with my friends and family. It made life fun.
"Okay Mr Edward. Are we taking off your leg or daddy's today?" Ben asked me playfully. He knew I hated this part and often teased me about taking off of my leg or arm. He even offered me my ear once.
I giggled. "Daddy's!". My giggles increased as I saw the shocked expression on daddy's face. I snuggled against him still giggling happily.
Ben laughed and walked towards daddy before changing his mind at the last second. He turned the machine on, and I hid my face into daddy's arms as he cut the plaster away.
"Ssh soon be over!" Daddy kissed my forehead softly as I cuddled against him. All of a sudden my leg felt lighter and I shrieked thinking Ben had cut my leg off.
Ben laughed. "Relax it's over! Right I'll let you race around to C-ray. Try and beat Bella this time. The males need to win!" Everyone in the department knew of the competition and it had turned into males versus females with all the people.
I giggled and jumped into the wheelchair as Daddy sped me around to X-ray. We pulled up at exactly the same time Bella did and we all burst into a fit of giggles.
"It's a draw!" Bella spoke whilst giggling. We sat next to each other swapping stories, until Julia the x-ray person called us both in at the same time. They quickly took more pictures and sent us around to the doctor to see if we needed another hard plaster.
As I waited to see him, I yawned and stretched. Daddy saw and smiled. "Is all of this running wearing you out now?" I smiled and shook my head fiercely.
"I want to go home!" I explained as the doctor called us in. Five minutes later I came out happily, not needing another plaster.

Bella POV
"BELLA!" I heard Edward call me though the corridor. I turned carefully and pointed t my arm as he pointed to his leg. We both started giggling and carried on talking, ignoring what our parents said.
"Bella, earth to Bella" Dr Cullen's voice brought me back to the present. I blushed as he realised I wasn't paying attention.
"Would you like to come back to my house and play for a bit?" Dr Cullen asked, smiling as Edward bounced in his arms excitedly.
"I looked over at my mum who nodded before answering. "Yes. Yes please Dr Cullen" I said shyly.
"Oh please call me Carlisle Bella! You make me sound old like Esme!" I giggled harder and helped Mummy put my car seat into Dr Cull…. Carlisle's car. I climbed in next to Edward and we sang to the CD on the way home.

Carlisle POV
I attempted to block out the sounds of Edward and Bella singing as I drove home. The radio would have been safer! Thankfully, I pulled into the driveway as the song finished and I quickly shut the engine off before the next could play.
"Awww Daddy!" Edward whined from the backseat. I raised my eyebrows at him.
"You can have it when I take Bella home!" I told him sternly. My son had a temper that was easily flared.
Seeming satisfied with that answer he waited for me to help Bella out of the car and then lifted him out before settling him on the ground. The more he used the physical therapy, the faster he would be walking normally.
The pair of them giggled as they went into my house where Esme met them.
"Hello Bella dear, how are you?" my wife flashed a knowing smile at me before turning to her youngest son.
"I'm fine thank you Mrs Cullen" My wife playfully frowned before saying to her quietly "please call me Esme. I won't sound old like Carlisle then!"
Bella giggled again and a small blush crept onto her face.
"That's what Daddy said about you mummy!" I groaned as my youngest son told on me to my wife. She frowned playfully before questioning me.
"Oh he did, did he?" Both of the kids nodded eagerly, waiting for her reaction.
"All right you pair, go and play!" I rushed them away before turning to butter up my wife.
"Don't even go there Carlisle Cullen!" she grinned before kissing me.

Edwards POV
Bella and I played for ages, before mummy came and told me it was time to take Bella home. We made daddy drive us, so we could listen to the CD again. As we pulled up at her house, daddy got us both out so we could say bye.
"Bye Bella, thanks for playing at my house" I told her as she waited for her parents to open the door.
"Bye Edward, Carlisle, thank you for letting me!" Bella spoke back with a smile on her face. She hugged me softly and daddy had a massive smile on his face.
Bella's dad opened the door and as Bella turned to go into her house, I kissed her softly on the cheek. We both blushed and started giggling as she went into her house.
With a final wave, we got back in daddy's car and headed home.
