Raising Patricia Cullen ch.2
(Bella's POV/2 weeks later)
Today Edward and I are takin Patricia for her first check up at the hospital. "
No Alice" I say as Alice skips into Patricia's room. '
but Bella" she complains.
"No my daughter is not a human baby doll and any way I'm her mother so I will dress her the way I want and if you have a problem with it I guess I will have to talk to mom and dad" I say.
"Ok" Alice says and leaves the room. I put Patricia in her i heart my grandpa onesie and put a pair of purple socks on her feet and white pants on her little legs. I place her purple flower headband on her head and pick her up. She coos at me and reaches for my hair.
"Ready love?" Edward asks and I nod and he takes Patricia from me so i can put my oat on. He puts her little white coat on her and take her out to the car. I grab my purse and follow him out. He has Patricia strapped in and the car warmed up by the time I get to the car. I get in and buckle and Edward pull out of the drive way.
"So why isn't dad not doing her check up at home?" I ask.
"the director wants to see her and dad didn't want to have to give her shots and her crying and rose get overly protective. Dad and i have talked and rose is still feeling motherly to patricia and dad has given her a warning which she ignores." Edward says and i nod.
"Shoud I be worried about rose?" I ask.
"Not really mom and dad will keep an eye on her and i keep an eye on her thoughts and we will step in if she steps out of line" Edward says and I nod as we pull up to the hospital.
I get out and un strap Patricia from her car seat and pick her up.
"No carseat?" Edward ask
. "No I'll just hold her" I say and kiss her forehead feeling nervous.
Edward wraps an arm around me.
We walk into the hospital an immedialty the nurses behind the desk stand up.
"Oh is this your daughter? ONE ASKS.
"Yes Andrea this is Patricia Kristine Cullen" edwrd says proudly and I smile.
"awe she's so adorable" she says and coos over Patricia who just giggles. "I see the chief of the hospitals granddaughter is finally in" dads personal nurse Tracy comes over.
"She's just beautiful Bella she looks just like you" she says as she runs a finger over patricias cheek.
"well well who do we have hear" I hear Vanessa say and the crowd of nurses part for Vanessa to stand by me.
"How you feeling bell?" she asks.
"Perfect" I say and she nods.
"Do you want to hold her?" I ask and Vanessa nods and I hand patricia to her.
"shs perfect" vanessa says. "She sure is" Edward says.
"How is she at night?" she asks.
"Perfect she gets up maybe here times a night. Shehas had one bad night but she was colicky" I say and Vanessa nods.
For a few more minutes nurses come down and coo over Patricia.
"It looks like my granddaughter is popular" dad says as he walks in with the director behind him.
Vanessa hands me patricia and the nurse scatter. Patricia sees her grandpa and coos and reaches for him.
"Come here my little ladybug" dad coos and takes her from me. "shes adorable Carlisle" the director says and he coos at ptricia who just look at him.
"How are you doing Bella?" the director asks.
" I'm perfect" I say.
"that's wonderful and your daughter looks jus like you and not like him" he says and i nod.
"that's the best part i was so afraid she wouldn't look like me" I say.
"Edward you have a perfect little family now you just need to put a ring on bellas finger" the director says. "I planned to soon sir" he says.
The director's pager goes off.
"Well duty calls it was nice seeing you and the baby Bella" he says and then walks off.\
"Well should we get her checkup over" dad says and I nod and we walk to an exam room. \Patricia starts crying as dad lays her down on the exam bed. Edward stand on one side and I stand on the oherso she can't fall off.
"its alright my little lady bug" dad coos as he places his stethoscope on her chest and patrica just whines
"Hush little one your ok, grandpas not hurting you" he says softly as he looks in her mouth, nose ears and eyes. He picks her up for a minute and bounces her to settle her down. Once shes settled he cautiously lays her down and she starts whinig again.
"Its alright sweetpea" he says as he gently removes her pants and unsnaps the bottom of her onesie and unhooks her diaper.
"everything down here looks good, theres no diaper rash which is good." Dad says and then reaches for the anal thermometer. He pick patricias legs up in one hand and quickly slips the thermometer into her butt. She starts to cry and trysto roll over. Edward places a hand on her belly to hold her.
"Shh its ok baby girl I know its uncomfortable" dad says and trys making funn faces at her but she just continues to hine. After a few moments the thermometer beep.
"normal which is perfect" dad says as he reales her legs and she kicks her legs around. Edward chagesher diaper right away and snaps her onsie closed.
"One of you guys should hold her for this next part" Dad says as hepulls out 3 syringes and medicine vials.
"Um Edward" I say and he nods andpcksup our fussing daughter and she latches onto him. Dad comes over with alcohol wipe and wipes Patricia's thigh and she screams at the coldness.
'Shh its ok baby girl daddys got you" edard coos and dad quickly gets the first injections and pokes her with it and she screams louder and looks around violently. Dad gets the second and patricia tryst kick he legs but dad pins them to Edward and gives her the secondinjection. Her eye sland on me and she reaches for me.
"Bella" Edward say and I take our daughter who imedditaly places her head between my breast and breaths in my scent and she starts calming down. "shh I got you baby girl, its ok mommy has you" I cood softly to her and rock her side to side. Dad place his hand on her leg and she starts to cry.
"I'm going to walk her a bit" I say and dad nods andopens thedoor. I wak out and start to walk around. I pass the nurse desk and they smile at me.
"I bet this is killing Carlisle" vanessa says a she walks out of a room.
"I'm sure shes not happy about this" I say as I rock patricia who sigh in content. Vanessa walks wit me to he nuse desk.
"Dr. Roberts you have patientin room 3" the nurse says.
"Bye bells" vanessa says and walks to room three. I walk back to the room where Edward and dad are talking.
"Shes calm" I say and dad nods and quickly grabs the last injection and come t me. He grabs her legs and she whnes and dad quickly sticksher and gives her the injection. He places a band aid on her thigh and Edward quickly puts her pants back on.
"shh its alright honey" I coo to her and walk out the exam room
. "she good to go for today and I'm done with work in a few so I will see you guys at home" dad says and I nod. Edward checks us out of the hospital and we walk to the car and place Patricia in her car seat.
She plays with her stiffed hanging giraffe. I get in the car and Edward does and starts the car. He pulls out of the parking lot and gets on the road.
After fifteen minutes we pull up to the house and rose is standing in the living room looking out. I get out and get Patricia out and hold her to me. I walk inside and hear mom talking to rose. I head upstairs to protect my baby.
"whoa Bella relax moms getting rose under control you don't need to bring momma bear out" jazz says as he intercepts me to my room.
" I still don't like it" I say and jazz walks with me to my room.
He looks at me for permission to enter and I nod. We put that rule in effect after rose acted out with Patricia crying in her crib and dad said to leave her because I would get her. And I got her and rose got mad at me so we turned my room into mine and Patricia's safe heaven and when we were in there they had to get permission.
" I know you do, mom and dad are trying there hardest" he says and sits on the bed next to me. Patricia gurgles at him.
"hey sweetie pie" he coos in his southern accent and I smile. My daughter was exactly like me and loved jazz's southern accent. Jasper runs a dinger over Patricia's cheek and she gurgles and smiles.
"she loves you so much" I say and jasper smiles.
"just like her momma" he says and I laugh. Jasper and I just talk formawhile until a knock sounds at my door. I look up and dad is standing there with a hand behind his back.
"may I come in sweetheart?" he asks.
"of course" I say and he walks in and to my other side. Patricia sees him and looks at him with an odd expression. Dad pulls his arm from behind him and he has a stuffed bug eyed zebra. Patricia gurgles and reaches for it.
"here you go my little lady bug grandpa sorry he made you cry" dad coos and hands her the zebra and Patricia holds it to herself and gurgles happily. I laugh at her expression and dad smiles.
"so why are you in here?" he asks. "mom was lecturing rose when we got home and I didn't want to take any chances" I say and dad nods.
"when I got home she was fine so we can probably head down I know your mother wants to see Patricia and probably call me a bad guy" dad says but jokes about the last part.
I nod and stand up as does jasper and dad. We head downstairs and mom immediate comes to us. I hand Patricia to her and she smiles at my daughter.
"oh that's such a nice little zebra did grandpa get you that to make up from being a bad guy and poking you with needles" mom says and Patricia shakes her toy. Mom laughs and I smile.
I feel Edward wrap his arms around me and I lean into him.
"she content right now" Edward says and I nod. Edward leans down and kisses my neck and I giggle.
"I'm happy shes healthy and she's happy with our family and her toy" I say and Edward nods.
"and she wont need more shots for awhile now" dad sayings he wraps mom in his arms and rests his head on moms shoulder and makes funny faces at Patricia.
