I don't own twilight

"Oh my god did you see him, I mean seriously its Emmett Cullen." Bella tightened her hold on Emmett's hand. It had been a week since Esme had been hospitalized and Bella was stepping inside the hospital for the first time. Trying to support Emmett but Anger buzzed through her blood as she heard the whispers of the nurses at their backs.

They silently walked to Esme's room neither speaking the silence falling between them. "Hello Emmett," Esme looked up from the book she'd been reading.

"Mom," He nodded his head standing back against the door.

"Oh and I see you brought Bella, hello dear."

"Good afternoon Esme." Bella gave the other women a slight smile Not sure what she should do or say in this situation she looked to Emmett for cues but he wasn't giving any. Bella looked between mother and son, Esme looked so hopeful. Emmett looked so guarded.

"So Esme, how is your day?" Bella ventured the question.

"Oh its ok, I've talked to my therapist he's helping me but I'm not ready to leave yet, I know if I did I'd relapse." She looked beseechingly over at Emmett.

"Well.. Um.. at least you know what it takes to get better." Bella stuttered out uncomfortable in the situation.

Esme just nodded not taking her eyes off of her eldest. "Yes I refuse to go home until I'm 100% stable. Bella heard the words but she felt they were not meant for her ears but for Emmett's.

Emmett's phone beeped and he pulled it out of his coat.

Alice: Hey are you with mom?

Emmett: Yes, me and Bella are here.

Alice: Oh ok well me and Jasper were going to come up is that ok?

Emmett: Yes please

Alice: Ok see you soon

Emmett looked up at his mother feeling some of the pressure release from his chest. Alice and Jasper will be up here soon."

"Oh that's nice," Esme gave him a brittle smile.

"What about Rose and Edward?" Bella asked.

"I think they are studying Edward mentioned something about a big test." Emmett was secretly relieved his little brother wasn't coming to the hospital he knew it wouldn't be good for Edward and as selfish as it may sound he just couldn't handle picking up the pieces of his brother also. It was enough Hell to be standing in this room in this hospital trying to talk to his mother but not wanting to get to close, not wanting to get his heart snapped again.

Bella nodded and turned back to Esme, "is there anything we can bring you, book or anything you've been wanting?"

Esme's eyes twinkled as she ushered Bella closer and had her bend down so she could whisper her request in her ear. Trying to stifle a giggle Bella nodded and winked. "You've got it."

"What did she ask for?" Emmett asked seeing the amused look pass between his girlfriend and mother.

"Nothing for you to concern yourself over"

"Sure leave me out." Emmett pouted. Just then he was shoved aside by a very angry pixie.

"you'd think they'd have more decenceny but no their nothing but a bunch of sluts." She threw herself down in the chair as everyone in the room looked at her wide eyed and Jasper groaned in the doorway, shaking his head.

"What's with you pixie stick?"

"Oh nothing except slutty nurses whispering about my boyfriend and how hot he is, I swear to god one of them was about to ask him to sign her bra."

"What," Emmett shouted with laughter. Bella turned and glared at him.

"Oh don't act like you didn't notice it when we walked through the halls." She crossed her arms and tapped her foot. Emmett decided the safest course of action was to back away very slowly. Alice held up her hand and Bella high fived her. Esme watched them all interacting and it did her heart good to see them acting so carefree.

"So mom how was your day?" Alice turned to her mother

"Oh it was nothing of note." Esme refused to talk to her children to much about her treatment. She didn't want to pull them too far into her troubles. Just then Carlisle walked into the room.

"Well it looks like a party in here," he joked. The young adults looked around the room and decided without speaking that it was getting to crowded.

"Well mom I think it's time for us to get going." Emmett came forward and gingerly hugged his mother. Followed by Alice then Bella and Jasper gave a quick goodbye.

"Come back soon kids it does me good." Esme watched the leave clouds drifting over her eyes. "They hate me, they hate being here." She cried as soon as they were gone.

"Esme they don't hate you, they just don't know how to handle it," Carlisle tried to sooth his wife.

"Yes they do, Edward won't even come in here, Emmett won't look at me and Alice would rather pretend everything is the same."

Carlisle took a deep breath. "Es give the time." He was torn he wanted to comfort his wife and his children but at the same time he wanted to get on his kids case about not being sensitive to their mothers needs, but he knew that wasn't fair because he wasn't as present as he himself should be.

"Emmett, Jasper will you sign this?" a short blond held out a Seahawks calendar. It took everything in Bella not to slap the bitch but she keep her mouth shut just looking over at Emmett she wasn't going to dictate what he could do. She looked over at Alice who looked like she was about to blow a gasket. Before anyone could stop her she'd stepped in front of the women.

"Listen here." Bella had stepped behind Alice ready to grab her if she lunged at the women. "Do you really think that is ok to do, we are in a hospital."

"and who do you think you are?" The blond sneered.

"I'm Alice Cullen and I'd watch your back if I were you. slut. She sneered. "

"Ok I think its time we left. Jasper pulled her away before she could do bodily harm.

"Pixie you have some claws,"

"Shut up Emmett." She snapped. Her eyes snapping with fire.

"Hey Alice will you come to the store with me?" Bella asked as they exited the doors, she was trying to diffuse the tension.

"Store sure," Alice rubbed her hands together, shopping would take her mind off the sluts, causing Bella to roll her eyes.

"What about us?" Emmett butted into the conversation.

"You and Jasper are going to go back to the apartment this is something for me and Alice to do alone." Bella stood on her tiptoes and kissed him. "I'll see you later."

"Girls I'll never understand them."

"No you won't now we have things to do." Bella pulled Alice towards Alice's car. The girls watched the boys drive away before they slide into the car themselves.

"So where are we going?" Alice asked.

"I promised your mom I'd pick her up the newest copy of Cosmo."

"What." Alice burst out in laughter as she made her way to the nearest store.

"I know but it's what she asked for," Bella shrugged. "I would give her mine but I'm not done reading it."

"Bella Swan reads Cosmo well you learn something new every day."

"Oh Alice there are many things you don't know about me."

"I'm sure," Alice pulled into the store parking lot she got out and slung her purse over her shoulder. They walked in the door and headed towards the magazine section. Bella grabbed the first copy of Cosmo she could find as her and Alice started to walk back towards the check out.

"So I was going to ask how you handled the fan girls but it seems you try to kill them."

"Not all of them, usually if it's a store or a public place I'm pretty chill but that's a hospital and I felt like they overstepped their bounds and I wasn't going to stand for it."

"I don't blame you, I just don't have enough guts to say anything and I don't want Emmett to get made at me."

"Oh don't worry about that," Alice threw the magazine on the conveyer belt. "He'd more then likely laugh.

"Really?"

"Oh sure Emmett hardly ever notices the fan girls that's why we were all so surprised when he took to you so quickly." The cashier rung up the Cosmo and Bella went to pull some money out but Alice beat her to it taking the plastic bag and swinging it from her hand.

"Should we take it to her tonight?"

"Na it will give her a visit for tomorrow." Alice turned the car towards the boys apartment.
