Chapter Six
An Appointment with Dr. Cullen
(Q: Which Dr. Cullen? He-he!)
I waited patiently in the waiting room surrounded by other people, listening to the classical music play from the speakers. The obstetrician in Port Angeles happened to have been on vacation this week and I didn't want to go all the way to Seattle to see one who I didn't know so I decided to called the hospital and had an appointment with Dr. Cullen just like Dr. Frederick told me to do. I wasn't scared to be seeing Dr. Cullen just…nervous I guess. I was twenty weeks along now and my belly was round enough that my belly button was now no longer indented. Elizabeth was still kicking which I took as a good sign though she could kick me in other places outside of the one side of my stomach—which is now sore—and the organ which held my urine.
"Isabella Swan, please come to the nurse's station," called one of the nurses over the loud speaker.
I looked up and saw a doctor leaning against the nurse's station. As I stood, he straightened up and turned his head to look at me, his emerald eyes full of concern and…something else. Edward? What happened to Dr…Cullen…oh no! I just realized my mistake as I walked towards him, my tan parka over one of my arms.
He smiled as I came within hearing range and said, "Nice to see you again, Bella."
I nodded. Alice Cullen keep coming over to Charlie's every other day to keep me company while Charlie was away at work. A few times, she drove me back to her house. "More of a selection of things to do," she said to me once when I asked her why we were heading to her house. And there was more things to do at her house, one of which including more food that Charlie had in a month. Jasper, who was home in the morning and part of the afternoon, made me all my cravings including the craziest and probably the yuckiest if I weren't pregnant. But never in those weeks did I see Edward again, mostly because I arrived after he left for the hospital and heading home before he got home.
"I thought I was seeing Dr. C. Cullen," I whispered as I got closer.
He looked hurt but his smile reminded…slightly. "He's down in the ER. I can go get him if you rather have him for your ultrasound?"
"No," I said, shaking my head. "It's…okay."
"If you're sure," he said, motioning to follow him.
I wasn't sure but what choice did I have? It was bad enough that I was as getting as huge with a baby created by rape, but it was worst because the fact…I was starting to like like Edward and I wasn't completely sure…what he thought of me.
Edward's POV
I watched as Nurse Theresa used the Doppler to spread the gel across her round stomach before looking down at Isabella's charts. Everything was there from when she was just an infant till now. I saw red when I saw in the jumbled handwriting of her previous doctor, Dr. Fredrick.
"Four weeks along, pregnancy due to rape that occurred about six weeks previous."
Rape…I looked up at Bella to see staring the ultrasound screen. I looked to and saw a little infant girl. I knew from Alice, who chatted none stop about Bella, that the baby was a girl and that Alice and Rosalie were planning on going shopping with her for baby stuff. The infant's thumb was stuck in her mouth and I could see clearly from here the nose and mouth of the baby. I knew everything about Bella but I didn't recall from my father or from anyone else that Bella was…raped.
I sighed and entered the room, plastering a smile on my face.
"Oh, Edward," Bella said, smiling and pointing at the screen, "Nurse Theresa thinks Elizabeth has my nose."
I looked back at the screen and then back at Bella. "She might have your cute little button nose."
Bella blushed and suddenly became self-aware of her body, the dressing gown well opened on the upper abdominal part of her body. Her breasts were rounded, readying for motherhood, and her hips, though covered, I could tell that they had widened. All the normal stages for birth, but Bella probably was still self conscious of the fact she was uncovered to me.
I sat down where Nurse Theresa had been and took the Doppler from her. Little Elizabeth kicked me as I moved the scope over to the far side of her stomach.
"Yep, a kicker in there," I said, smiling. "You, Ms. Swan, might be a soccer player in there." Elizabeth kicked me again causing me to laugh. "Or a swimmer."
Bella blushed and said, "She is very active." I smiled slightly inwardly and made up my mind on the one single matter that I had been thinking about since the first time I saw Bella.
Bella's POV
I was glad when Nurse Theresa helped clean the gel of my stomach and allowed me to dress back into my clothes. I blushed every time I thought of Edward seeing me, my upper half bare for him to see. I didn't know what he thought seeing me like that and I wasn't sure if I wanted to know.
I put my arms back through my parka and exited the examining room, Edward standing next to a different nurse who held a chart at him, smiling suggestively up at him. It made me upset seeing them like that but my heart lighten when I saw Edward inform the nurse of his opinion and turned to look at me. He smiled and walked towards me.
"Everything seems okay with Elizabeth," he said smiling as he walked me back towards the waiting area.
"That's good to hear," I said smiling, resting my hand on my stomach.
"But there is a…personal question I want to ask you of," he said, stopping in front of the revolving doors.
"Oh," I said, taking back. When he said personal question, I assumed that it wasn't anything medical, as if he stepped out of Dr. Edward Cullen and into…just Edward. "Sure."
"That is slightly embarrassing, but none the last," he said, looking down and then back up at me. "I was wondering if you would like to go out for dinner with me. I know this great Italian place not to far from Forks, that is, if you want to go."
I gapped at him for a moment, my brain slowly processing the fact that he asked me to dinner. I loved Italian food, my mother always took us to the local Italian place back in Phoenix when I lived there and I hadn't had the lovely food in a long time.
"Sure," I said, smiling.
"Cool, um, Seven O'clock, Friday?" he asked me.
"Sound fine."
"Okay, I'll pick you up."
I was about to say something else when over the loud speaker someone called for Edward to go to Room 435.
"Um, I need to go," he said, backing away from me, "Seeing you Friday."
"Ya," I said, watching him go, "See you Friday."
