Seth Clearwater visited his sister every single night after that. Of course he was never allowed to be in her room alone just as a precaution and Edward always made sure she had been given meds to help her sleep so they didn't have to worry about her waking up in the middle of the night and getting caught off guard. That wouldn't end well for obvious reasons and the last thing anybody wanted was for her to have yet another setback. Still it did the younger boy good to be able to his sister and know that she was safe. It made him feel better watching over her even though she had no idea he was there. One day they would tell her, but for now this was enough and even if it wasn't he had to be satisfied with what he had.
"She had another ultrasound today." Edward smiled as he handed Seth a picture from the ultrasound he had copied for him. "You will be happy to know that your nephew is doing wonderfully. He is the exact size he should be at this stage of development and while he is a little bit underweight I am sure that with a controlled diet will have both mother and son where they should be weight wise shortly. Leah is improving every single day and soon enough she will be ready to leave the hospital."
Seth nodded as he looked at the picture. Soon he would be an Uncle and he had promised himself that he would be the best Uncle ever. "Mom mentioned that soon she will be ready to leave. She also mentioned something about Leah not coming home with us right now. Alice came over to speak with us and she said that even though my sister is doing better than they could have expected she is not ready to come home yet. We are going to be introduced to her slowly starting next week. Since she can't come home, does that mean she will have to stay in the hospital? You're not going to make her stay in a shelter or something like that are you?"
The bronze haired doctor motioned for Seth to follow him in to the hall. He didn't want to have this conversation near the sleeping woman in case it got out of hand. Not that he thought for one second it would, but it is always better to be safe than to be sorry later on. "I would never allow for your sister to end up in a shelter especially considering her fragile mental state and her pregnancy on top of that. While she could stay in the hospital I have been talking to a lot of people and they all agree it would be best to have Leah out in the open so hopefully she will be able to start living again. We don't know what happened to her for sure, but it is apparent that she was locked up for a very long time. It wouldn't be fair to keep her cooped up in a hospital. I have already talked to your mother, but I want to clear everything with you first. What would you think if your sister came to stay with me for a while?"
"What?" The younger of the two male's had to blink a few times to make sure he had heard things right.
Edward rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "I wanted to hear your thoughts on Leah staying with me for a while. I know that you want her to go home, but like I said I have been talking to others and they feel that it would best for Leah if she stayed with someone she trusts and they think that where I have been around constantly and she seems to like me that I would be the best person for the job. It would allow me to keep an eye on her health around the clock which is a good thing. I want what is best for your sister Seth I hope you believe that."
"I know you do." He replied with a sigh. "I know that you want what is best for Leah and that is why I am okay with this. I know that you will take care of my sister."
"That I will do I can promise you that." Edward said with a smile as he patted Seth on the shoulder. "When you are Leah are introduced to each other again you are free to come over whenever you want. I have an X-box that I never play. It was a Christmas gift from Emmett though I think he bought it more for himself when he visits than for me."
Seth grinned as they headed back to the room. "It sounds like a good plan. You know I wouldn't mind if someone like you ended up with my sister. I have no idea what she went through and to be honest I am not sure I want to know. I only want her to be happy and from what I know of you I know that you can make her happy. I'm not telling you to marry her or anything I am just saying that one of these days if you decided to or something I wouldn't be against it."
"Let's just see about getting her healthy first." The young doctor said with a slight blush to his cheeks. Talks of relationships and feelings always made him nervous and uncomfortable. "It's getting late so you may want to get home before your mother notices. I assume that I will be seeing you same time tomorrow night?"
The boy nodded as he picked his jacket up from the back of the chair and slid it over his shoulders. "Of course, I will be here a little bit later because mom has a date with Charlie, but it should only be by an hour or so. I'll see you tomorrow."
