Chapter 14 - Emergency Room

"Daddy!" Alice grabbed onto Carlisle as he slid next to Alice trying to asses Emmett's injuries.

"I didn't see them!" Alice was hysterical. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry Emmett!" Alice was screaming.

"Emmett!" Esme cried as she reached them. Alice immediately went to her mother.

"Mom!" Alice cried. Esme pulled her into her arms.

Edward reached them and put Esme's coat over her shoulders before going over to Carlisle and Emmett.

"Emmett," Carlisle called out over the noise from the storm, "can you hear me?" Emmett wasn't responding.

"Carlisle!" Esme pleaded screaming at him to do something. By now sirens could be heard approaching, still a small distance away.

"He's breathing, he has a pulse," Carlisle shouted.

Edward went over and took his sweatshirt off handing it to Carlisle, "to clean his face," Edward explained loudly. The rain did not seem to be letting up at all.

Carlisle nodded taking it and trying to gently clean away the bloody mess covering Emmett.

"Dad..." Emmett suddenly spoke, Carlisle barley hearing him.

"Oh thank god! Don't move, don't try to move," Carlisle told him.

"Emmett!" Alice screamed, "I'm sorry!"

"My god, Emmett, baby don't worry you're going to be fine," Esme tried to assure him. Please god let him be fine... Esme told herself. She didn't want to scare him anymore than he was.

"I... I... " Emmett tried to get his words out but couldn't.

"Ssshh," Carlisle ran his hand over Emmett's hair, "don't try to talk, you're gonna be fine, just fine." Carlisle didn't know at that moment if he was telling the truth or not, but he needed to believe it.

After what seemed like forever an ambulance pulled up behind Alice's car and a team of paramedics rushed over with a rugged looking stretcher, some portable machines to assess Emmett's vitals and a neck brace which was standard, just in case there was any spinal injury.

"Dr. Cullen!" one of the Medics called out over the rain.

"He's been conscious about 4 minutes, he lost it for a while after being hit," Carlisle informed.

Edward watched as they worked quickly and very carefully. They strapped and lifted Emmett in one swoop onto the stretcher before they brought it up into a higher position and carefully navigated him over to the ambulance.

"I'm going with him!" Esme yelled rushing over to the ambulance.

"I'll be right behind you," Carlisle told her, as they shut the doors and took off.

"Carlisle!" Edward shouted over a thunderous flash of lightning. "You need to put shoes on! You need a jacket."

Carlisle shook his head no. He was about to run off back to the house for his keys when Edward grabbed his arm.

"Get shoes Carlisle, I'll start your car," Edward promised. Carlisle nodded and he grabbed Alice's hand and they rushed back to the house. Edward went over and closed up Alice's car, whose door had been left open still. Once the car was secure he ran back to the house. He grabbed the keychain he had seen them use earlier for Carlisle's car and went and turned it on. A few moments after Carlisle and Alice hurried out the house and got in.

"Just direct me," Edward said.

"I... I should drive," Carlisle spoke, Edward has never driven in Forks and the roads were slippery.

"I can drive Carlisle, trust me. Just tell me what way." Edward tried to assure him. Carlisle relented and after passing Alice's car Carlisle began to give him instructions on how to get to Forks General.

Once they arrived to the hospital Edward pulled up as close as he could to the Emergency exit for Carlisle and Alice to get off. Alice had her coat on from earlier but Carlisle had only grabbed his shoes. They rushed out of the car while Edward went to find somewhere to park.

"Tanya! My son..." Carlisle called to one of the nurses he knew.

"Mrs. Cullen is in the waiting room, they took Emmett to the back," she replied.

"Please get me the attending as soon as he stabilizes him... we need to know..." Carlisle said as he rushed past her to get to the waiting room, Alice following.

"Carlisle!" Esme ran over to him throwing herself into his arms.

"Calm down, I know these doctors, these nurses, you know them. They will do everything needed for Emmett to be ok," Carlisle assured her.

"I have to call Jasper... oh my God Rose... I have to call Rosalie!" Alice's fingers trembled almost dropping her phone but Edward caught it as he walked in. He was soaking wet. He had not ran in to change.

"I'll do it," Edward told her taking the phone. She nodded and went to sit next to Esme.

Edward stepped out into the hall and ran through Alice's contact list until he found Jasper's name.

Ring... ring... ring...

"Hey beautiful, this is a surprise, thinking about me right now, are you?" Jasper grinned, his southern twang in full force.

"No..." Edward said a bit weirded out.

"What the fuck... who.." Jasper was now confused.

"Um, it's Edward. Alice was too freaked out to call you." Edward explained.

"Why is she freaked out?" Jasper became concerned.

"We're at the hospital. Emmett was just brought in..." Edward got cut off.

"What! Fuck! Can't you guys just chill the fuck out?" Jasper yelled coming to the conclusion that Emmett and Edward had once again gotten into a fight.

"It wasn't like that. Alice..." Edward hated telling people she hit Emmett but it was what happened.

"Dude... I know Alice can be scary sometimes but..."

"Alice hit Emmett with her car. I don't know how bad it is, but she tossed him like 10 feet. It was dark and she didn't see." Edward's mind drifted to the sight of what he saw when he had gotten up from the ground.

"I'm on my way. Forks General?" Jasper asked.

"Um, yeah... the emergency room... oh um... your sister..." Edward spoke.

"She's not back yet. She's landed a bit ago but she's still on her way here from PA. I'll call her... thanks..." Jasper said before hanging up.

Edward put the phone in his jeans pocket and walked back into the waiting room.

"Edward," Carlisle looked up at him. "What happened? What were you two doing outside in the rain?" he asked.

"I went out looking for something, uh, he followed me. Thought I was running." Edward looked ashamed. Had they gone inside when Emmett said...

"With the rain, the storm, I didn't see them dad, I didn't see them. I wasn't going real fast, but no one is ever by that corner. I didn't see Edward until I was about to hit him. I tried to stop." Alice was crying.

"Edward? You mean Emmett..." Esme spoke.

"No... she means me. I was in the middle of the road. I thought I saw... I was looking down, bent over, didn't see the car. I heard Emmett yell and then I was pushed." Edward sat down across from them.

"He... pushed you out of the way?" Carlisle asked.

"Yes." Edward replied.

Carlisle didn't know what to say. How could he begin to thank God Edward was ok, when Emmett wasn't. One son sacrificed himself for the other. How did he even begin to deal with that? Before he could reply a doctor came into the room.

"Carlisle," the man cleared his throat to make his presence known.

"Felix, how is he?" Carlisle and Esme stood up.

"He has two cracked ribs, some bruised bones. A lot of scrapes, cuts, he'll be a bit black and blue for a few days. But honestly he is going to be just fine. Aside from the ribs, he looks more worse than he is. Due to his muscle mass, and the fact the ground was very soft, thanks to the storm, things could have been much worse." Felix explained.

"Oh thank god!" Esme cried.

"Thank you Felix, when can we see him?" Carlisle asked.

"About 15 minutes, when we have him situated in his room. I'll come and get you when he's ready." Carlisle shook his hand and Felix went back to work.

Esme was crying into Carlisle's shoulder. "Shhhh, he's ok, he's gonna be fine," he told her.

Edward looked at Alice who had calmed down hearing Emmett was going to be fine. "Jasper is coming, he's going to tell Rose." He handed her phone back to her.

"Thank you, Edward." Alice took it and placed it in her coat pocket.

"Um Alice?" Edward raised his eyebrow at her.

"Yeah?" she looked at him questioningly.

"Jasper is Emmett's friend?" Edward wondered.

"Yes Edward, you know that." Alice wondered if Emmett pushed him too hard at this point.

"So why did he answer the phone 'hey beautiful...' amongst other things?" Edward saw her turn three shades redder.

Author Note: Ok so thank you to everyone reading and reviewing and all that. Let me address some questions and things I've been seeing and receiving.

Where is Bella? Bella is around. Don't worry the story will not end when she comes in. But first and foremost this is Edward's story. But Bella is coming. They will meet but at a specific place and its taking a while to get to that place but thats how I originally saw it and I'm sticking to that.

Also, I just want to ask, I try and make things sound as plausible and real as possible but it is still after all a story of fiction so I hope some of you will keep that in mind and maybe cut a little slack lol.

Also I did not research injuries but let me say I have seen videos of people being hit by a car and totally walking away perfectly fine so things are possible.

Again thanks for reading!
