Wow, almost one month since I wrote a chapter for this. I should be ashamed, shouldn't I? Although, I didn't have a computer for like 11 days. The old junker finally had the biscuit. I got a laptop now though! Okay so what happens in this chapter is a request from...uh...I forget. One second, I'll check. Okay, after five minutes... potterfan2006 suggested this. :)
Disclaimer: If I owned Twilight, I would name my laptop Sammy. I don't own Twilight though, so I need to figure out a different name.
Bella POV:
I sigh, Edward was hunting again this weekend. Perfect time to go, Edward, and I mean that with all sarcasm intended. I was catching a cold, I was miserable when I was catching a cold but Edward made me happy when I was miserable. I love Edward. I pull myself out of bed on this very rainy Saturday morning. I have to drive over to the Cullen's to be 'babysat'. I don't see why I need to be 'babysat', I'm not a baby. Oh well, whatever.
I walk into the bathroom and get a shower, quickly blow drying my hair, then straightening it, because I felt like it. Not to mention I look like crap, so I may need to put a little effort into my look this morning to convince people that I'm perfectly healthy. Then I have a sneezing fit. Well, that will blow my cover. I get dressed and walk down the stares. Charlie stares at me.
"You look terrible, Bells."
"I'm perfectly fine, dad." I say, and then cough. Oh, please, work with me stupid immune system. Work with me.
"Yea, sure, fine." he grumbles "Maybe you should go back to bed."
"I promised Alice that I would go over today though." I lie smoothly. I was getting very good at this.
"Don't want to disappoint Alice then..."
"Nope." I say popping the 'p', then sneezing.
"You going to have any breakfast?" Charlie asks.
"No, I'm not hungry right now."
"Bella." he says.
"What?"
"Never mind, you're so stubborn."
"Oh, thanks a lot, dad." I say as I grab my coat and keys.
"Be careful." says Charlie "The roads are bad today."
"They're always bad." I snort.
I head out the door, and run to the truck, with out slipping. Yea, I'm surprised too. I start the engine and head off to the Cullen's place. I could probable call it my second home now. I'm there enough. I sneeze and cough the whole way there. I hate the common cold, it sucks. I park the truck and run up to the door, not slipping again. Today is a very lucky day when it comes to my balance. Carlisle lets me in, he must have hunted last night. His eyes were the 'just fed' color of gold.
"You don't look good, Bella." he says.
I groan 'Not you too."
"Charlie noticed too, then?"
"Yes." I grumble, and then sneeze.
"Common cold?" he asks.
"Yes." I say unwillingly.
"Go sit down on the couch or something. I'll be right back."
"I'm not taking any medication, Carlisle."
"So you don't want to get rid of the cold?" he asks and raises his eyebrows.
"No." I grumble.
"Well I want you to get rid of it, and I'm sure Edward would too."
"Don't drag Edward into this." I mumble "He's hunting."
"I can call and get him to talk to you."
"You're evil, I hate you."
"Hate is a strong emotion, Bella."
"Yea, yea, don't get all wise with me, doc."
He smirks slightly "You're cranky."
"Hello, Captain Obvious."
"Bella, Bella, Bella, what are we going to do with you?"
"Keep the medication away from me."
He chuckles as I walk over to the couch and plop down on it, clearly annoyed. I grab the remote and flick on the TV, and he goes off in search of something. If it is medicine I am so not taking it. It's so gross tasting. Then Carlisle returns with medicine.
"What part of 'keep the medicine away from me' did you not understand?"
"The 'keep the medicine away from me' part."
"Well then understand it, or do I have to say it in Spanish?"
"I choose not to understand it."
"Gah!"
"Bella, just take it." he says seriously.
"No."
"Don't make me force you." (a/n: This is a common fight my dad and I have about cough medicine, I hate it so much.)
"You can't force me."
"Bella, I'm a vampire, and you're a human."
"Don't remind me."
"Just take it." he says firmly.
"Fine." I snap.
I take the medicine bottle and the spoon from him and pour the first bit, ew, this stuff is so gross. I take some and almost gag.
"One more spoon, Bella." Carlisle says.
"Do you know how much I dislike you right now?"
"Probably a lot, but I don't care, as long as you are taking the stuff."
"Well I am." I huff and take the last spoon.
"Good." he says and takes the stuff from me.
"Why did I have to meet up with a vampire family that has a doctor as the head?" I grumble.
"According to you your luck is terrible." he jokes.
"Not funny, Carlisle."
"Okay, okay, I'll shut up now."
"Thank you!" I exclaim.
Then I start to yawn and find myself dosing off on the couch. Maybe when I wake up Edward will be back, that would be awesome.
I didn't really dream, it was just blackness. I guess that is okay though. Doesn't hurt my feelings any. Then I start to stir.
"Have a nice nap?" someone inquires.
I guess Edward isn't back yet.
"Yea." I say, feeling a little better.
"Feeling any better?" he asks.
I thought Edward was the mind reader...and that my mind couldn't be read...
"Yea, thanks, Carlisle."
"It wasn't me, it was the medicine."
"Do you want to make me mad at you again?"
"It was rather amusing."
"You don't know when to stop talking do you?" I joke.
"Apparently not. Edward is going to be home soon though, so you won't have to deal with me."
"That's great, I'll throw a party over that fact."
"Thanks a lot."
"Not a problem."
"Are you hungry?"
"A little." I admit.
"Want food?"
"Please?"
He chuckles "Of course."
"Thanks." I say and get up.
"You can stay there, I'll make you something."
"No, I can do it." I insist.
"No. Rest."
"Fine!" I say in defeat.
Ten minutes later Carlisle returns with a bowl of chicken noodle soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. Yum.
"Thanks." I say, and start to eat.
"Not a problem." he says and grins.
"What are you grinning at?"
"Someone is in a better mood."
"Uh, yea, sorry about that."
"Again, it's not a problem."
I nod my head and finish eating, that really hit the spot, and I felt even better. Maybe this wasn't such a bad day after all.
"Thanks, Carlisle." I say sincerely
"Don't mention it, Bella."
I laugh, and bring my dishes to the kitchen. He isn't going to get away with doing everything.
