Addicted Chapter 13
Led Zeppelin-Babe I'm gonna leave you
I could see the gears turning in their heads as I said this to mom but I need to let them know.
"Listen mom I gotta go ok...but my shift ends at six so barring any complications or surgeries I will call you ok?" I tried to avoid looking directly at Alice as I'm sure I would sadness and guilt in her eyes. They are three smart women who will deduce what's happened but will tell them.
"Ok baby I love you give Rachel a hug for me ok?" I agreed and hung up ready to face the music. As I flagged down a waitress ironically the same one as before who took one look at all of my clear plates and gave me a look that would kill.
"Hi can I get a cup of regular coffee to go please." She took away my plates and nodded.
"So I know you are all wondering hat happened when I left." I stated and they all began shaking their heads and disputing the fact.
"Why no alcohol?" I was silently glad Rose had enough balls to bring it up because I couldn't...I actually couldn't.
"I used a little problem with certain refreshments and pharmaceuticals I want to tell you all the full story together rather than telling it tw..." I was cut off by my pager going off. CRAP Baby Wheeler.
"Ok I'm sorry I have to go...emergency..." As I took out money Esme had a $20 bill lifted out and set down just as they came back with my coffee. I thanked her and hugged them all before running across the street without my coffee.
This I was not looking forward to. Why is this baby having so many problems. As I walked into the NICU I saw a furry of activity around the baby and Carlisle in the middle.
"What's happening?" I asked with that bitchy doctor tone everyone was accustom to.
"Baby is not in good shape...um she was seizing and I think her kidneys are shutting down. We got her stabilised but she need the OR now." I started unhooking monitors as Carlisle was talking.
"Ok people let's move ok I need Rachel ok someone page Dr Adams please." I said and started walking toward the OR with a very sick baby. Playing and Hoping that this baby will be ok.
"Hey you ok?" Carlisle was making small talk with me in the elevator something is wrong.
"Good you?" I decided to indulge for a second cause I could see it coming.
"Good...umm...do you wanna...come and have dinner with Esme and the kids? Dinner is for you obviously but it would be dinner at our house." I loved making men stutter and making a vampire stutter was even more satisfying it was like so much fun almost as much as making your boyfriend cry, and I am a sick individual.
"Sure I guess...have to see Edward sometime right." He looked up at me sharply as I realised he never even thought about that.
"If you don't want to that's fine to you know we could go out." I just shrugged at him in a sort of whatever motion...if I had to see him them I suppose I shouldn't put it off.
"No...I mean if I'm gonna be a part of your lives again then I have to get it over with, right?" He smiles at me at touches the top of my arm.
"Bella...I am so proud of you...I don't think I couldn't be...I...you have turned into an exceptional young woman Bella." I hugged him fiercely and in that moment I was so glad that we were alone in that moment.
"Thank you..." I was interrupted by us arriving on the OR floor. And that was when I reverted back again. It took us six hours to fix the baby's kidneys but she needed a transplant and I don't know if he can get them.
The whole day depressed me, first of all the baby and then a sly Peads fellow stole my surgery and flaunted in my face at any time and then I got another consult in the ER so at the end of it I was not getting changed out of my scrubs until almost ten.
I felt like crap and looked like crap, so of course I only agreed to have dinner with the vampire ex who will quite possibly look incredible.
"Hey Dr Swan, this was left for you." The young nurse that I found was nice from earlier handed me a piece of paper with Carlisle number on it and a short anecdote at the bottom.
BELLA HEARD YOU GOT CAUGHT UP I CAN PICK U UP WHEN U R FINISHED CALL 555-4567 xoxo
"Thank you." She smiled and walked out of the room as I rang the number.
"Hello..." I wanted to play a little but I sure Esme would not appreciate my sailor sex line jokes.
"Hey Carlisle it's Bella." He sounded almost out of breath and I could hear giggling and the smacking of lips.
"Oh Bella hey...you finally finished?" Either Papa C was getting a hickey or he was moaning at her hand Down his pants, go Esme for making the whole who wears the trousers question completely obsolete.
"Apparently you're not." I laughed down the phone at him hoping he wouldn't be mad at me for bringing up his current activities.
"I do not know what you are talking about." In all of the noises I could hear in the background at the moment I'm surprised he could still speak properly.
"Ok well I'm gonna head home and take a shower." As I packed my things into my bag including my dirty scrubs to be washed I instantly wish I could click my heels together and be home.
"Alice, Rose and the boys are on their way over to you as we speak."
"You mean as you make out..." Wait did he say boys as in all of them? Oh no I am so screwed I look like shit.
"Bella...what I do in the confines of my home with my wife are none of your business." As he said that all of my mommy and daddy sex jokes were put to the side for now.
"Ok well I will see you and Esme later on." I was doing a jig in my head with the prospect of getting a shower but at the thought of seeing Edward I wanted to punch him in the face.
"Bella its late we don't have to come over tonight." I almost took him up on that offer because in all honesty I wanted to sleep and shower and maybe perhaps watch a ridiculous movie on tv, but I have missed Emmett and Jasper. After saying no and letting them come on ahead I felt rather annoyed, how the hell am I going to do?
EdwardPOV
When Carlisle arrived home from the hospital and announced that we were going to her apartment to catch up if it was possible my heart leapt into my chest as I sat alone in my room upstairs.
What was I going to say to her? I abandoned her and left her to her own defences...what do you say to that? How do I apologise?
"Bye mom we're going to get Bella at the hospital." I wasn't even sure what happened but I leapt up and ran downstairs quicker that normal.
"I'm coming." All of my siblings looked at me with a yeah right expression plastered on their faces.
"Edward...I don't know if that's a good idea." I was determined and Jasper knew that as he placed his hand on Alices shoulder.
"I have to see her Alice..." I gave her my best moping look that always used to work with her before I met Bella. If they were talking about a subject I wasn't comfortable with that look stopped it in it's tracks.
"So just wait till we go over later." Rosalie rolled her eyes at me and showed me her mental images of herself hugging Bella and all I could think of is what's wrong with this picture?
I could hear Carlisle and Esme going at it in his study and in all honesty I was not staying in this house whether I had to hurt someone I am not staying to listen to Esme and Carlisle have sex like Rabbits in the house.
"The car is five seats, where do you suppose we put Bella in the trunk?" Cue eye roll from Rosalie to go along with that sarcastic comment.
"She can sit on my knee...I don't mind." Emmett of course with his ridiculousness grinned and waggled his eyebrows at us.
"I vote Edward goes in the trunk." The Ice Queen is on a roll tonight I could tell that she was being serious about that, Alice just told us that she and I would meet them at Bella's house a little later. I was confused...so was Jasper not to mention he was nervous about being apart from her.
"What time will you be picking her up?" I could not do anything right tonight if Rosalies scoff was anything to go by.
"We are picking her up in 20 minutes and then probably pick stuff up to make her dinner and then Esme and Carlisle there later." Rose said and jumped into the car without another word and the others followed suit, Jasper was a little bit reluctant but eventually got in.
"We can pick up Bellas food and meet you there ok?"
"Ok so why exactly did you volunteer to be my baby sitter?" As she huffed over to her car and slid in without a word I took that to be that I had to follow her.
"Edward...I had a vision and we need to talk." I was curious at this and she was blocking her thoughts by recurring poetry in Latin.
"Ok so what exactly is this vision..." I laughed at her which proceeded a slap on the arm.
"You approached Bella the wrong way she threw food at you and got into a huge fight ok...she hates you Edward...well she hates you on the surface but all those feelings she had are hidden somewhere but the only thing is finding them." I have never been good with girls and being with Bella then was confusing enough now she is completely different.
"Ok we will go and get things for Bella ok...food and stuff let her got home and reacclimatised with Em and Jazz and then we will pick up Chinese food and take it to her." I felt silently cheated but went along with her anyway because she wasn't going to back down until I did.
