Date: December 7th

Character: Carlisle

Stimulus Word: Hospital

This time of the year was Carlisle Cullen's worst. Sure, his family was celebrating, all happy and cheery with their holiday spirit, but that was not what made him unhappy.

It was the patients.

Every year visitors would visit their loved ones to give them presents and talk to them, but really Carlisle knew what they were thinking. I'm going to lose them.

Of course, Carlisle would never tell them. It would break their heart. He hated hurting people. And the people who died on Christmas were the worst. To die on a day of celebration would be nice, but to imagine getting that phone call that night. To hear that someone you loved has left you on that day would be excruciatingly painful. To imagine any of his children dying, his wife, his first son.

The thought gave him chills.

"Merry Christmas Dr. Cullen." an intern said as he walked out of the door.

Oh, what a Merry Christmas it was.


Review. I want to know how I am doing!
