Fiche A Dó (22)

A/N: Whoops, I totally forgot that it was Friday. My bad. Well, here is the next chapter of this bad boy. I can't say for sure how many more chapters of this story are left, but I can say it will exceed 25 chapters, but we are closer to the end. It won't exceed 30. I want to thank everyone who reviews every chapter and there have been several from the start, so thank you so much. Thanks always to my girls: BitterHarpy, Maplestyle, AGoodWitch, 2 Brown eyes, SassyNoles and Mel C. Several of these ladies are working on more than one story for me and I 3 their input and my Beta Mel C is the best I could ask for, seriously I'd be lost without her help. Let's go onto the chapter.

I rolled over and noticed that Alice was lying next to me, and on the other side was Rose. After Edward and I calmed down and screwed the anger out of each other, we decided to stay at his parents' house. Esme and Alice could use the company, and the house was big enough for us all to stay under one roof while bringing Rose and Emmett along. The guys caught a break and were running shit down; I didn't really want to know the particulars. I wanted to know they found out who did this to Carlisle and put an end to him. Needless to say, this left us girls alone, so we hung out and passed out sometime during the night. I sat up and saw Edward, Emmett, and Jasper lying in various places on the floor and chairs in Alice's room. This was becoming a normal thing now. The girls and I would end up falling asleep wherever together, and we would wake up with the guys just passing out wherever in the room rather than wake us.

I slid out of the bed as stealthily as I could and crawled in Edward's lap. He groaned and opened his eyes minutely. Realizing it was me, his eyes opened wider and he smiled, so I kissed his jaw and his lips lightly. He wound his arms around me and lifted me with him as he stood up. Gingerly, he made his way to the door, making sure not to make a lot of noise or step on Jasper. When we were out in the hall, he set me down on my feet and grabbed my hand, threading our fingers together. I yawned and he chuckled, leading us down to the kitchen. Edward and I were early risers, but I would need to wake up the girls soon to go to work, and I needed to check at the surgery center to see how Carlisle was doing.

His last few scans were promising and showed the swelling was going down, and hopefully we would be able to start weaning him off the chemicals soon, bringing him out of the medically induced coma. I knew Esme was chomping at the bit for Carlisle to be awake, and I couldn't even begin to imagine being in her shoes. I was worried about Carlisle, and I wasn't his wife or child, so I knew that his family wanted to know he was okay.

Once we had both made our coffee, we sat down at the counter and I turned to look at Edward after we drank a little in silence. "You look tired. I know you guys are working hard, but you still need to get enough sleep."

"I'll sleep when you go to work. We have to go out again tonight. We are this fucking close, Bella. Even with all this proof, Caius may still refuse to listen to us just because of the bad blood. I want to do this the easy way, but I have a feeling it's not really an option, just a waste of time."

"Not really. Even if he doesn't listen, it still plants that seed of doubt and will cause them to fight amongst themselves," I told him. He looked at me in surprise. "Alice told me what Jazz told her. I don't understand how their relationship works."

"Alice has grown up in this lifestyle, Bella. Jasper got involved in this family and showed himself competent before he and Alice got involved. He tried to push his feelings down for her, because dating the boss's only daughter can be scary, yet she wasn't willing to let him go," he said, smiling.

Even though he was trying his hardest to leave emotions out of this and be objective, I knew that his love for his family and me were one of the main things keeping him going at the moment. He was trying to keep his mom, Alice, Rose, and me safe above all else.

"Yeah, I bet she was tenacious as hell in the beginning of their relationship. Actually, she probably still is."

Edward chuckled and nodded. Turning my whole body to face him, I tangled my legs with his, then his arms wrapped around me. I leaned into him and sighed. I reveled in his smell and warmth for a few moments then kissed him on the neck and the underside of his jaw. It wasn't enough; I wanted closer but we were sitting on stools, prohibiting me from straddling him like I wanted to. Luckily, Edward and I were always so in sync with each other. He stood up and grabbed me by my thighs and wrapped them around his waist as he lifted me. I giggled and held on tight to him as he carried me back upstairs. He started heading to his room.

"Shower, Edward. I gotta get ready for work."

He turned and headed toward the main bathroom. Once inside, he deposited me on my feet, turned the water on to get warm, then slid out in the hall to grab towels from the closet. He was gone for a few minutes, so I got impatient and undressed. Right after I stepped under the spray, he came back in. "Started without me, I see. I had Emmett wake the girls up."

When he got in the shower with me, I pushed him up against the tiled wall. "Thank you, Edward." I breathed.

He had just made my morning that much easier, and I was still surprised when he did thoughtful things like that. With how often he was starting to do that stuff, I should have been used to it, but I never wanted to take him for granted. He kissed me back and fisted his hand in my hair, pulling my face closer and dominating the kiss. When I ran my hands down his arms and chest, he moaned into our kiss. It seemed since we reconciled and said the 'L' word to each other, the amount of sex we had was multiplied, and subconsciously I think he was trying to keep from thinking too much, and I was more than willing to assist him in this task.

Sliding my hand along his length, I lowered myself to my knees, kissing down his chest and torso as I went. Taking him into my mouth, I set a slow pace. Not teasing, but just savoring his taste and the feel of his shaft dragging against my tongue. I knew that eventually he would take control and set the pace he wanted, but right now I was in control. Following my mouth with my hand, I gently twisted my wrist when I reached the base of his shaft each time.

"A pheata, I need you to take me deeper."

I took him in as far as I was able to. I grabbed his hands and laid them on my head, and I gripped his ass. He rocked his hips in a steady rhythm, pulling my head closer to him, forcing me to take him deeper. I swirled around the tip and tongued the slit every time I withdrew. The grunts and groans falling from his lips let me know how much I was pleasing him. He usually had dirty words for me, but when I let him fuck my mouth, he was generally quiet.

I felt his pace start to falter so I sucked harder, hollowing out my cheeks and running my tongue over every inch of his cock that I could while he thrust into me faster, pulling my face right to his pubic bone. When he pulsed inside me, I quickly swallowed everything he gave me. He pulled out of my mouth and looked down at me, his gaze still burning with passion. Stroking my cheek, he dragged his thumb across my lips, and I sucked the digit into my mouth.

He gripped my elbows, pulling me to stand, and turned me so that my back was facing his front. Cupping my breasts in his hands, he rolled and pinched my nipples. With the warm water running down my chest and the heat from his body behind me, I was surrounded and consumed. One hand slid from my breasts up to my neck, while the other glided down to my pussy. He pulled me closer to him, and his hand on my neck was comforting, not threatening; we were so far beyond that now. His fingers slid through the arousal gathering there and pushed inside me. I gasped and moaned. "Tell me you are mine, Bella. That no one could ever make you feel the way I do."

"Oh, fuck. Edward, I am yours in every way. Show my body how you are the only one who can please it."

He growled in my ear, and it caused goosebumps to break out across my skin. When Edward lost control like this and got all demanding and dominating, it turned me on more than usual. He pumped his fingers inside me faster. With him standing behind me and controlling my body and orgasm, it made my desire ratchet up higher, and soon I was panting, praying for my release to come. But Edward knew my body, every inch of it, and he knew what would make me explode, and he was purposely not touching my clit. He was going to make me beg again.

"You know what I want, a pheata. Give it to me."

"Please, Edward. Please make me come. It feels so good. Touch my clit."

His hand let go of my throat to grip my hair tight, and he lightly bit my earlobe. "My fucking dirty girl. Listen to those words coming out of your mouth."

"Don't stop, please."

He circled my clit with his thumb, his fingers pumping in and out of me, bringing me to the edge and then letting me fall over. I was moaning loudly and Edward covered my mouth and continued to draw out my orgasm. By the time he pulled his fingers from me, I was having a hard time standing up. He helped me to the seat in the shower and gave me a moment to recover as he washed up. Then he helped me and we finally got out of the shower.

After our shower, I had to rush, but I didn't regret a single moment of it. Throwing on my purple scrubs and kissing Edward, I was ready to go. Rose and Alice were riding together to go open the clinic. My mission was to head immediately to the surgical site because Eric called me to let me know that the scans we had sent to be read by a radiologist were back. With my training, I could supervise and perform cat scans, MRIs, and everything else, but I had no experience in reading imaging, so the scans we did for Carlisle had to be sent to be read by someone else. We had to use an alias for them, but that was more for their protection than anyone else's.

When I arrived, I pulled up Carlisle's information on the computer. I looked over the notes and information from the radiologist. The report indicated that we were cleared to begin reversing Carlisle's coma. I picked up my phone and called Esme, Edward, and Alice to let them all know what was going on. Esme wanted to come down immediately, but I explained to her that since Carlisle had been in a coma for a week, it could take 24 hours or more to completely wean him off the medication and promised to let her know if that changed.

Picking up the walkie-talkie, I called our anesthesiologist, Irina, and waited to hear her tinkling voice. When she answered, I told her to meet me in Mr. Cullen's room so that we could start the process. Irina would lower his medication while I watched his readings and brain wave activity. She could have done it herself, but this was Carlisle, and there was no way I wouldn't be here as much as I could to make sure he was completely safe. Irina walked over to the machine that regulated the IV fluids that Carlisle was being given. She programmed it to continue with a lower dose. She squeezed my shoulder as she walked by. I held Carlisle's hand and sat to watch his readings, making sure that everything was staying where it should be.

After about an hour, I called Angela to come in, and I explained to her that she needed to monitor his vitals as Irina continued to lower his dose and to call me if anything changed or there was an issue. I had patients that I had to see, otherwise I would've stayed here all day. I headed to the clinic, trying to push the worry and panic down. He was in good hands, and I trusted the people at the surgical site. They were all vetted and thoroughly checked before walking through the doors.

It was a busy day, and it was just what I needed to keep me distracted while we all waited to hear news about Carlisle. Edward and I returned to my surgical site when we closed the clinic for the work day. Emmett, Jasper, and Demetri were all going out without him, because they understood that this was more important right now. I called Esme as well because Irina was able to lower his medication sooner than she thought, and he had about two more cycles before we would be able to stop the meds completely. She said she was on her way, despite my protestations that this still could take some time. I think they figured that if I was going to be here, then they were going to be as well.

We had been there two hours when the medication was low enough that it could be stopped completely. It was another hour before we saw a huge change in his brain activity, and I saw his hands start to twitch. Esme and I each grabbed one of his hands. Squeezing our hands back was one of the easiest ways to tell he was waking up.

I was about to call it for the night, but Edward stood up, looking at the monitor for his EEG. His brain wave level was at normal levels, and soon I felt his hands grip tight around my fingers. Esme must have felt it too because she gasped. We all looked at Carlisle, willing him to open his eyes. After what seemed like an eternity, his eyelids fluttered. The tears that had been forming behind my eyes finally fell, and Edward rubbed my shoulders behind me and kissed the back of my head. Esme hugged Carlisle and he smiled slowly as he looked at her, but he didn't try to lift his arms to hug her. I knew he was still probably groggy. I stepped up to him after wiping the tears away to check his vitals and do my job.

Carlisle was doing as well as could be expected. His vitals and reflexes all checked out like they should. He remembered who he was, the year and month, and who his family was. There didn't seem to be any lasting issues, but he was still healing from all the other injuries he suffered from the explosion. Edward was still the boss, because after Carlisle got out of the hospital, his health would still be fragile and he wouldn't be able to really return to his level of activity pre-injury for some time. It seemed like he was forced into an early retirement. He wasn't happy about it, but I had more than enough experience with cranky patients, and I had enough Carlisle experience to get him to calm down pretty quickly. Esme and I stepped out of the room while Carlisle talked to Edward alone, and when he exited the room, he gave me a huge kiss then told me he was going to join the guys with what they were working on. I talked to Carlisle a little bit, but soon my day started to catch up with me and I was exhausted. Esme said that she was going to stay with Carlisle, and I bid them both goodnight and told them to call me if they needed anything.

I walked outside the site feeling very hopeful because Carlisle was awake and all the worrying about whether or not he would make it through could be over. My stomach dropped when I turned the corner and saw someone standing next to my car. A head of blond hair was the first thing I noticed, and I stopped dead in my tracks. I pressed the button on my watch to call Edward and prayed to God he answered.

A/N: Eek! Yes, I did end it there. How are we feeling? Carlisle is awake! But Bella may be in danger. Well, you can't win them all. Leave a review and let me know your thoughts! See you next week, lovelies!
