Carlisle flung open the door to Bella's room, the door crashed into the wall leaving a crack on the plaster. He was met with a frantic scene. Charlie and Edward were standing in the corner of the room, horrified looks on their faces as they watched the scene in the room unfolding. A nurse rushed over and began ushering them out. Edward was very persistent that he stay, however, after a look from Carlisle, agreed to conform.

Carlisle rushed over to the bed. It was clear to him that within the time he was gone Bella's temperature had risen and caused her to fit. She was foaming at the mouth and her fragile body was thrashing around on the bed uncontrollably. She began to vomit and Carlisle thrusted her onto her side so she would not choke. He did not have time to place anything in front of her mouth and allowed her to be sick onto the side of her bed and the floor, something they would just have to clean up later.

He helped the rest of the team to hold her body still so that she wouldn't hurt herself or cause further damage to her injuries while he had the nurses inject some medication into Bella's IV to help ease her seizure. Finally, and much longer than Carlisle would have liked, Bella stopped thrashing around and lay still, a sheen of sweat covering her entire body. Carlisle's shirt was completely damp from holding her body and began sticking to his skin.
He brought a fist to his mouth and closed his eyes for a second, leaning on the hospital wall for support. "Why is this happening? Why can't I do more for her", Carlisle thought as he reached forward and brushed the sweat from her forehead with his cool hand, knowing his coolness would bring her pleasure.

"We need to bring down her temperature", he mentioned to one of the nurses, who nodded and left the room to get some supplies.

Bella looked exhausted, and this was something that troubled Carlisle greatly. How much more trauma could her fragile body go through. Her eyes were laying half open, slightly fluttering and a look of shock was overcoming her face.

"I'm here Bella", Carlisle said calmly, brushing her forehead with his hand again. He watched as she closed her eyes, in reaction to his cool touch.

"Mmm", Bella responded her eyes fluttering shut again, as she took a struggled deep breath.

Carlisle took a tissue from the bedside table and used it to clean up around Bella's mouth from her earlier fit, just as the nurse came back into the room holding some ice packs and a cloth, and some clean bedding. She left these with Carlisle and began to remove the soiled sheets and remake the bed around her.

"I am going to try and bring your temperature down, Bella", Carlisle mentioned as he reached for the damp cloth that was covered in ice cold water, helping the nurse lift Bella's body off the top half of the bed to clean the sheets. He carefully lowered her head back onto her new clean pillow, watching her head sink back into it helplessly.

He began on her arms, running it up and down, removing her warm sweat as he went, next moving to her chest and then down to her legs. After finishing up with the towel he placed some of the ice packs around Bella's body. She returned this with a pleasurable moan, her mouth hanging open, using all her energy to focus on breathing.

The nurse handed a new hospital gown to Carlisle, actioning that they should now change Bella's clothing. Hospital clothing was made for this kind of thing and was very easy to change. Carlisle undid the strings on the back of the gown and removed the soiled one from Bella's body, quickly replacing it with a clean and dry one.

Throughout this whole process Bella lay motionless, her eyes glassy and her mouth laying open in pain. Carlisle was incredibly worried for Bella and began checking her other vitals, taking more notes regarding her condition on his clipboard. He lovingly brushed some of Bella's hair away from her eyes. Through his exam he noted the labour in Bella's breath and opted to place an oxygen mask over her mouth to assist her breathing.

Carlisle noticed as Bella's eyes began to droop considerably, fluttering back open as she fought against the sleep that was calling her in. He smiled slightly, his warm concerned eyes met Bella's.

"You should sleep", he said, raising his arm slightly to look at his watch, it was almost 1pm.

"Edward…" she whispered in response as her eyes fluttered closed.

"He will be back soon, but I will be here," Carlisle replied, as he sat down on the side of Bella's bed, realising how uncomfortably sticky his wet shirt was from earlier on his skin. "Charlie is here."

Bella's eyes became a little wider, "Oh Carlisle, why would you tell him. He's just gonna freak out" Her words were slightly slurred due to how tired she was, but none the less Carlisle could hear the panic in them, and heard uncomfortably as Bella's heart rate increased.

"Shhh," he said, gently pressing his finger to her lips and moving to stroke her hair. "He was on duty when the accident happened, he knew already."

Bella's eyes were dropping considerably, but he voice remained panicked.

"I-I can't remember what happened…" she sighed, her eyes closing for a considerable number of seconds.

"That's enough for now. We can talk about this later." Carlisle said, looking towards the door as he heard it open. Edward reentered the room, he had opened the door so quietly only Carlisle's vampire hearing would have heard. Edward's eyes were calm, but had a quantity of worry. Bella's eyes were closed now, Carlisle pressed a finger to his lips to tell Edward to be quiet.

Slowly getting up from the side of the bed he was sitting on, Carlisle made room for Edward to take his place. Both vampire ears were greeted with the welcoming sound of a deep sleeping human, Bella's breaths were laboured, but calm. Carlisle leaned over Bella, slightly adjusting the oxygen mask on her face so it was covering her nose properly and placed a hand on his sons.

She will be ok just to sleep now, she is exhausted.

Edward nodded slightly, looking back towards Bella and responded in the softest voice possible that would not wake Bella, "You better go change… again."

Carlisle made a small amused huff, "Yes I better, I will call Alice to bring me another shirt. I will be back in a moment".
