Thank you to Kara & Sherry for all your help. I don't own Twilight, SM does. The subject matter of 9-11 is what gives it a M rating, so if you're triggered by that then please do not read.

Sighing into the phone, I tell her. "Rose, Don't worry about it. I'll be alright. I've gone to the doctor by myself before."
Disappointment was evident in her tone. "Yeah, but this is different. It's your first ultrasound and I really wanted to be there with you."
"I'll be fine, really. I have to go finish up some work here. I'll talk to you later, okay." I was sad about having to go by myself, but there's no use dwelling on it.
"Okay, but call me later. I love you."
"Love you too."
When I hung up the phone and turn around, Edward is standing there, leaning against the doorframe. The way he looks at me, he's always so - intense.
"Hey, Edward." I can't help but smile at him.
"You have a doctor's appointment." He asks with a blank face.
"Ummm… yeah, with my OB/GYN. Why?"
He lifts a shoulder in a shrug. "I can go with you."
I'm shaking my "no" head before he can finish his sentence.
He crosses his arms over his chest. "Why not?
"Because, it's not right."
"What's not right about it? I don't understand, Isabella?" When he uses that name, I blush because I told him before it was my name and technically it is, but no one calls me that. I told him that was my name because I was scared out of my mind when I met him. He scares me, makes me feel things I think I shouldn't be feeling.
"It's not your place to go." A pain shoots through my chest thinking about Jake because he should be here, but never will be and I've accepted that.
"I don't give a fuck what people think." Edward says while rubbing his jaw.
He pushes off the doorframe and walks toward me, looking me in the eye. He stops directly in front of me and raises his hand like he's going to touch my face, but decides against at the last second.
He swallows hard and I see his Adam's apple bob, he's nervous. Wait, how have I never noticed his eyes before? Maybe because he's never looked at me eye to eye this intensely before, but they're mesmerizing.
He speaks so softly that if he hadn't been standing so close, I might not have heard him. "Please." Was all he said and for some reason I'm powerless to tell him no.
So, while looking into his beautiful green eyes, I cause him to smile the biggest smile. "Okay, you can go."
