Blurry Lines: Chapter Ten
Isabella
"What is that Alice?" I asked as she pulled along side the unfamiliar red brick, two-story house.
"It looks like a flower company?" She asked unsure. "And a bakery company. Is that a sculpture?" she asked in ah, placing her left hand over her mouth.
I knew, before Alice got out of the car and inquired from a girl carrying two white chairs inside the house, asking if she knew what was going on, what was really taking place here today. And I knew that since I told him to do this, that I had no right to stop it. So once Alice got back into her car I begged her to drive away. I couldn't do it, just like I told her weeks ago. And now, it was too late...
Eight Years Later
"Paging Dr. Swan. You're needed in the emergency room." Came the monotone voice over the intercom.
"I guess I'm up ladies." I sighed as I left the Doctors lounge.
"Are you going to come out with us tonight Bell?" Sandy, the peds Doctor asked.
"I have to ask my guy, but I'll see." I promised.
"Tell him you need a night out with the girls, he'll understand." She yelled as I walked out of the lounge.
In the last eight years, I've completed med school, early to my amazement and I've finished my internship and I am now a resident at Seattle Grey hospital. And I don't want to gloat, but I'm the shit at what I do.
"Okay, okay, I'm here." I called as I entered the chaos that was my emergency room.
"We have a car accident," nurse Jen rattled off. "three car pile-up with one bike, six injured, one dead, and one critical care coming in. Mercy was too far away so we got the end."
"Okay ladies and gentlemen," I called out as the ambulance pulled up to the emergency entrance. "lets save a life."
-~~'\\%/'~~-
"So you won't go out with me, why? I don't see a ring on your finger so you can't say that you're married."
"Maybe I don't wear my ring because it rips my gloves." I told him off flippantly as I stitched the large gap in his arm.
"Or maybe you don't have one to wear. Therefore you don't have any excuses." He countered as if my tone wasn't a shot down in itself.
"Actually I have many excuses, Mr. Black. Beside, I don't date bikers."
"I'll throw the damn bike away. What do you say now?" he asked amused.
"I say you are heavily drugged, and you're starting to let it go to your head, Mr. Black"
"Jacob, please. Mr. Black is my father."
"Well, Jacob then. Besides, my bud hasn't even approved of you. How am I supposed to make a decision if my bud hasn't approved."
"You're bud? Is he like your 'happy friend'?"
"My 'happy friend'?" I asked as he looked embarrassed.
"You know, you're 'happy friend'." He pronounced the phrase, trying to get me to understand.
"No, I'm sorry I don't know what you're talking about." I fined ignorance, letting him squirm uncomfortably.
"You're gay friend." He whispered. I laughed, shaking my head.
"Um, no, Anthony is actually not gay at all, I don't think."
The door swung open then, a little form about four feet stepping into the room.
"Oh, um, Dr. Swan, um, mom, um I don't know." He wined. "Aunt Alice told me to come get you, she's in the parking lot. She said something about her bag of water popping, or was it broken pipes. I don't know." Anthony exclaimed frantically. "All I know is that she's really scarring me. She pushed uncle Jasper. I think maybe he hurt himself. Help woman! I need help!" I stood, calling a nurse over to finish working on Mr. Black, as I darted for the door.
"So that's Anthony?" Mr. Black asked as I reached my son.
"The one and only." I told him before I turned back to Anthony. "Now tell me where they're parked at Anthony?"
"By that shiny black car."
"Okay, I know exactly where that is. Go ask Peterson to show you where I stashed my afternoon candy, and I'll come get you from the lounge soon."
"Okay, good luck mom."
"Thanks kiddo." I ran out the side exit, the closes one to the parking lot. I knew exactly where that shiny black car was. It was in my parking spot, I know this because the words Dr. Swan is written on a sign in front of a spot where there is now a car that is not mine in it.
I ran down the rows of cars, tripping once, but not letting that phase me. "Alice!" I called out as I neared her new, red, family friendly Kia.
"Bella!" she yelled out. "I'm over here. Jasper hit his head on the car door and my water broke."
"I know about your water." I told her as I reached her side of the car. "But how did Jasper hit his head?" I asked her as I checked to see how she was doing; trying desperately to keep her mind off of her current situation.
"I pushed him. I didn't know that I'd pushed him that hard. Is he going to be okay?"
"Yes, he's going to be fine."
"And where is your car? I always park next to your car." She asked between deep breaths.
"Some ass took my spot. I have no idea whom this shiny piece of crap belongs to. Come on now Alice, I'm going to lift you and you and I will walk through those doors. I'll send a chair out for Jasper."
She nodded her head, squeezing her eyes as I helped lift her from the car. I leaned her against the shiny black car, putting prints on the new paint job. I smiled smugly as I helped my friend off of the car, making sure to touch it as much as possible.
"How many contractions have you had?" I asked her, back in Doctor mode.
"Two, they're thirteen minutes apart and Bella, they fucking hurt. I want to rip this kid out of me, but I know that will hurt worse."
I laughed, hoping to lighten the mood. "I know exactly what you mean, but I promise you the end result is awesome." It took us two minutes to walk into the hospital doors, a chair and Jen- the peds Doctor- waiting for us as soon as we entered. "How did you…"
"Your guy told me before he ate his way into a snickers bar. That kid of yours has got some chops Bella. I'll take her from here, and I'll keep you informed every step of the way."
"Thanks Jen." I leaned down, placed a kiss to Alice's head as she placed one to my shoulder. We'd seen that once on 'Whip It' between Bliss and her father. Now it's our thing. "Going in alive," I started.
"And coming out the same way." She finished between larger breaths.
"Larry?" I called, as Larry, an unofficial nurse, walked by with an empty wheel chair.
"Yes doctor Swan?"
"Follow me with that chair."
It was two hours later and everything seemed to be running smoothly. My ER was quiet, the board was being cleared in record time, the pit was empty, and Jasper woke up about twenty minutes after we got him checked out, but I knew the night was far from over.
And 'unpredictably,' I was right.
Jessica Stanley, a nurse who got where she is solely on her looks and good hand and oral cavity skills, passed by the board as I was erasing a surgery for Brat, another resident, with her gang of flies; Lauren Mallory and Irena Moore. They were going on about a new resident, one to just die for, one that all of them wouldn't mind sneaking into the supply closet with. I was sickened and pissed that there was a new guy that I didn't know about.
Who is he? And why Grey's? And god I hope he's not a chauvinistic pig.
Around eleven I found myself walking the short distance to the lounge, looking for my little guy. As soon as I entered the lounge I was hit with a very unfamiliar scene. "Whoa, whoa, whoa you guys, keep it on until you get home, or until I get my stuff and my kid." I said as I looked around the empty room for my son. "Have you guys seen-"
"Alice's room, get out Swan." Lisa a very, very horny nurse complained as she devoured some guys' neck.
"Take it to the bathroom Lisa, or how about this one, take it to the nurses lounge."
"Tiffany already called that one." She said as she winked.
I grabbed my stuff and ran from the room as if it were on fire. That's so tasteless. I can't believe she would do that, there. Anyone could walk in, even the chief.
I walked upstairs to the delivery ward, Alice's room was at the far end of it, room 316. "Ally?" I called as I knocked on the door.
"Bella, thank good, get your son and this Jackass out of here. I can't believe I married him. I should have brought the father of my child instead of my lamn ass husband."
"Still no baby?" I asked, looking around at the guys. They were both on the floor, wearing toilet paper mask. Anthony's with red lips and Jasper's with pink lips.
"Nope." Anthony answered, popping the 'p' for exaggeration.
"Okay, how many centimeters are you now?"
"They slowed down; I've only dilated six centimeters. I have four more to go then I can start pushing. The anesthesiologist came in earlier, he was nice, I liked him a lot, he had lots of good drugs. "
"That's great Ally." I said looking at Jasper. He mouthed 'the drugs kicked in' and I nood my head knowingly. "I'm sorry, but I have to get Anthony downstairs and across the street to bed. He has school in the morning and he needs a bath and fresh clothes and his nice and warm bed."
"Thanks for being here Bells."
"You know I would do anything for you Ally, that's what sisters are for. Oh, hey Al, have you heard anything about a new resident?"
"Um kind of. I heard it was a guy, nice looking, supply closet worthy, and I heard he was married, but that was a while ago. I heard he's really good at what he does, which is really bad for any older staff members in his department. Why?"
"Stanley and her disciples were going on about getting him in the broom closet. I just wanted to know who the hell was coming into my Emergence room. Well I have to go, I'll be back in the morning around seven, or as soon as you call me and tell me the baby has been born."
"We'll call, I promise."
And so she did. Three-thirty this morning I was awoken to the sound of my cell phone ringing. I answered it only to get an ear full of harsh words and screaming. "I'm on my way!" I yelled down the phone, before running through my room and putting on my Jacket and my shoes. I ran down the hall of my two bedroom apartment to Anthony's room, fetching his jacket and shoes from the closet.
He was dressed and asleep in my arms once again. I ran down the stairs of my apartment building, my son in hands. I lived directly across the street from the hospital; all I had to do was run through the parking lot, so I ran, thankfully not falling once.
I ran into the hospital, going straight into the doctor's lounge to lay Anthony down. I took off, taking the elevator to the deliver ward, and racing to room 316. I heard the screaming before I saw any people. And that made me nervous, but I held my cool and speed to my best friend.
Nurses tried to flag me down as I ran, I flashed them my badge and passed them up. I was not in the mood for distractions. When I finally reached room 316 I was the happiest little brunet on the planet. I took a face cover from the bin on side of the door and peeked into the room just in time to see Alice push a head clean out of her 'whoha.' With one last push from Alice and pull from the person I knew was Jen, there was a bloody baby being held in the air.
"Congratulations," Jens familiar voice exclaimed through the air. "It's a… girl; unless I cut off the wrong wire." Jen joked.
"Thank you," I heard Jasper murmur to Alice. "Thank you so much baby. Thank you." He cried. Blubbering something about buying her something nice.
"You're welcome," Alice cried back. "She's so beautiful, and was so, so worth it. Bella," Alice called. "Bella are you here?"
"Over here Al, I caught everything." I assured her. "I even caught the part where Jasper promised to buy you a diamond for going through that much pain."
"Me too," she laughed through her tears. "And I have the perfect diamond for him to get, but Bella, you were right, it's so worth it. God she's beautiful, did you see her?"
"Yes, she looks just like her mommy. Congratulations girly. I'll be back in a little while to see my niece."
I quickly left the room, giving them the privacy they will never get again. I took my time walking downstairs to my son, savoring the moment as long as possible. I am so happy for Alice and Jasper. They have each other and now they have a beautiful little girl to share their love and time with. That little girl is going to have everything from designer clothes and shoes to a mother and father who love her and care for her.
And fuck me if I wasn't jealous of that little girl for my son who I know would never be as green-eyed as I am at this very moment. And no, it's not for the nice things she'll have, its because she'll have both her parent there. It's because she had them there tonight.
That little girl who's barley been in the world for twenty minutes has the unconditional love of not only her mother, but her father. Her mother doesn't have to work her ass off to show her child that the love of one parent is enough to make up for both. That child, like so many others, like my son is not, is lucky enough to have both her parents and for that I am jealous for my son.
I walked into the lounge, tripping on the edge of the door and tumbling forward into one of the beds to the left of me. I tried to catch myself, but to no avail did I. I fell clean into the bed, landing on an unsuspecting sleeper.
"Shit!" a males voice growled as he shot out of bed, making me tumble to the floor.
"Sorry," I whispered, trying to keep my voice down as to not wake up Anthony. "I'm so sorry, I tripped over the damn door. Are you okay?"
"Is-Isabella?"
"Edward?" I murmured as his voice registered into my brain. "Fuck!" I exclaimed loudly.
"Mom!" Anthony scolded just as loud. Oh god.
AN: Okay, someone asked if Bella was going to have a baby...I guess I anwsered that. Honestly all the stories on my profile, except Secret Circle(Which is awesome by the way...might want to check that out) has a kid in it. I'm trying to get all the kid writting out of the way so I can get over that phase and move on to another one. Like kidnappers and murders and toughella and hardassward...Or killerella and fixerward or copward and detectiveella. How about SWAT Swans and Undercoverella and fuck hot Edward? I don't know yet, just let me get all the baby mojo out of the way.
