Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters.
Ok, I know this is a really fast update, but I couldn't sleep last night, so I just decided I would write another chapter.
Please comment! I am interested in you feedback.
I hope you enjoy this! Part of this is from Edward's point of view, because, obviously he knows more about this situation than Bella does.
"How much pain are you in?" Edward said into the phone, he sounded worried, but his tone was ligfht somehow.
"Um, I don't know, enough to hurt my somach. It feels a little weird like, it feels numb, but throbs at the same time." I said, an audible change in my voice from the stuffed nose.
"Okay, I'll be right there. Keep your wrist straight and level. Dn't move it too much. It will take about twenty minutes for me to get home okay?" He seemed calm, but he was good at making his voice sound a certain way. I couldn't see his face though, which was what usually gave away his emotions.
"Okay, take your time."I said, I didn't want this to be something huge. "I love you." I added.
"I love you," he said, clear affection in his voice.
The line went dead.
I handed to the phone back to Alice, who looked slightly mortified. It was shocking, I had never seen her so scared. It couldn't have been my wrist, then what was it? I decided I would ask her in the morning. who flashed her fingers across the keypad again.
I didn't pay attention to their conversation; instead, I focused on stoping my subconcious crying. Pretty soon, Alice was escorting me downstairs, holding my wrist gently in her fingertips once again. She gave me some medicine and we sat on the pale sofa.
She put on the movie, and we watched in silence. It wasn't for a half an hour when Edward came through the door.
I looked up at the door as I heard it open, followed by footsteps towards the couch. Alice's cold arm, which was around my shoulder, vanished, and Edward's arms wound my around my waist. He pulled me onto his lap his lap and shifted to theside of the couch, so he was facing forward, and I was facing to the side, my legs outstretched on the couch, my feet resting in Alice's lap. I leaned my head on Edwards shoulder as Emmett switched the now pointless movie to a football game.
Edward kissed the top of my head.
"Welcome home. I hope you hunted enough, I would hate to have you leave again," I wispered into his shoulder.
"Luckily. How did you manage this?" He picked up my wrist delicately, his ice cold hand felt amazing against my swollen skin. I took the opportunity to look at his surreal face to see his expression. It was pained, worried, and somehow humorous.
I didn't answer. I just nestled in closer to his body. He held my wrist between his hands gently. My head cheek comfortably against his wintery shoulder, herested his cheek against mine.
"GO! Go go go go go go go go! NO! What are you doing?" Emmett boomed at the TV.
"I'm so tired." I said.
"Then sleep, Bella." His sympathetic voice replied.
"I can't."
He chuckled at that. I was always stubborn like that, according to him. A few moments later, Carlisle came in, with Esme behind him, carrying supplies for a cast, I groaned. the last thing I wanted right now was a cast.
"It's alright, sweetheart, there is nothing to worry about now," Edward assured me. He kissed both my cheeks as he effortlessly lifted me and carried me to the dining room table.
I rested my wrist on the table while Carlisle carfully examined it.
"Based on how you broke it, and what it looks like, and it doesn't feel deformed in an way, I would say. . . "
I lost his voice somewhere, I was so tired, and edward had provided me with a very confortable lap for me too put my head in while carlisle constructed a cast around my arm.
Edward pushed my hair out of the way and off of his lap, making a think curtain hanging off of the chair.
"Edward, I'm finished, you can take her upstairs after I give her more medication." Carlisle said.
"Alright sit up while Carlsisle sedates you." Emmett chuckled. I didn't realize Emmett was there, I didn't even think og Rosalie until I saw her sitting nest to Emmett. I realized I hacn't really thought of her once tonight, I felt a little guilty.
I laughed weakly. Carlisle gave me 2 small pills and a glass of water, which I took oblidginly.
"Well, that was probably the least chaotic injury I have ever had. Thank you Carlisle." I said, as Edward carried me out of the room.
"Bella, I have to warn you, the second day is the most painful." Edwards's lips were at my ear, I could hear pain in his voice.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
He chuckled at that, I laughed along the best I could.
We were in his dark bedroom now, and he was pulling the gold bedspread and sheets over me. He wrapped his arms around my waist, and I drifted into slumber.
Edward's POV:
I didn't want to tell Bella that I wasn't really worried right now, but probably would be incredibly worried tomorrow. I warned her that the he day after breaking a bone was hardest. When a human usually awoke the next morning, the bone would be throbbing even worse for the dominant part of the next day. I watched her sleep to drown my worries. I wasn't sure if she knew that she fell asleep while Carlisle formed a cast on her arm, I surpressed a small amount of laughter, I didn't want Bella to wake up and suffer. Throughout the rest of the night I thought about the half-hour we spent on the couch. He head rested on my shoulder, and my cheek rested against hers. The smell only slightly burned my throat due to my hunting trip—where I had managed to get three mountain lions before Alice had called me. Bella seemed vey comfortable against my hard lap and torso. Sometimes I worried if it hurt her to be sitting on on my rock hard lap, resting he head on the equivalent to a slab of marble. it never seemed to bother her though, for which I was thankful.
This small catastrophe was unusually calm, as if it were routine. Nobodies thoughts were surprised, only worried if Bella was in pian. I didn't even think Bella thought it a horrible emergency, the only thing she semed worried about was a cast. I laughed at that, she always objected to casts. Barely even the broken bone intself. I didn't want to tell her, not yet. Besides, all this would cause would be relocation; with her this time.
Oooooohhhh! Suspense. please comment! The new chapter will be out in about 2 days is my guess. I have already started it and it won't take long to finish.
