Chapter 5

"Mommy, Look Who I Found"

"Uncle Emmie?" I heard her whisper from somewhere by me. "Mommy fell down and got a boo-boo."

"Mommy? Uncle Emmie says that you have to stay awake. He told me to poke you if you close your eyes," she mumbled. I laughed lightly.

"I promise not to fall asleep," I said but still I found my eyes starting to close. A few minutes later I felt a poke on my shoulder.

"Mommy, you closed your eyes. Uncle Emmie's going to be mad," she whispered, causing me to laugh again.

"Don't worry, he won't be mad," I mumbled. I tried not to focus on the throbbing pain of both my ankle and my head, but that was becoming increasingly more difficult.

"Bella!" I heard Emmett's booming voice as he threw open the door with a loud bang.

"Uncle Emmie, we're in the kitchen," Hannah called out. I heard his noisy footsteps running through the apartment.

"Oh God, Bella, what the hell happened?" He continued to yell even though I could see him. I saw Rose pick up Hannah, and walk down the hall with her.

"I'm fine," I whispered. He just shook his head and leaned down, but stopped just as he was starting to lift me up.

"I probably shouldn't lift you up. I could like paralyze you or something, right?" He questioned, suddenly his eyes looking rather nervous.

"I don't know," I mumbled.

"Well, let's just pray that won't happen," he said as he proceeded to lift me up.

I rested my head softly against Emmett's chest. His steps were even and I wasn't moved around much, which I was grateful for. Before I realized, he was lowering me into Rose's car.

"Where is Mike?" He asked as he got into the driver side.

"I don't know, he just walked out," I said trying to will the pain from my head away.

"I can't believe he pushed you. The next time I see him I swear I'm going to-"

"But Emmett, he didn't push me. I fell," I said cutting him off.

"Why are you defending him, Bella?"

"I'm not, I'm just telling you the truth," I said boldly.

"I don't want to fight. We'll talk about it later," he stated, conveniently ending that conversation.

The rest of the ride to the hospital was silent, giving me the peace I needed. But my headache was just getting stronger as more time passed.

"What about Hannah?" I asked as I saw us pulling into the ER. Emmett didn't bother parking, he just stopped the car and jumped out to help me.

"Rose had to take your car since she doesn't have a car seat," he replied as he once again lifted me up.

Emmett walked vigorously up to the receptionists' desk.

"She fell and hit her head. She's still bleeding," he said quickly. Her head snapped up from her computer screen and looked at me, limp and helpless, clinging around Emmett's neck.

"Go right back, please," she rushed through as she pushed back from her chair. Emmett didn't need to be told twice, as he quickly went behind the double door, where a nurse was waiting.

"Follow me," she said. I put my head on his shoulder and tried to keep my eyes open. My eyes snapped open as I felt like I was being lowered down. But once I was fully on the bed, I couldn't fight against my heavy eye lids any longer.


"When is Mommy going to wake up?" I heard Hannah ask. I just realized that I was gaining consciousness, and being alert of the happenings around me.

"Soon," Emmett mumbled sounding broken, which was so unlike him it caused my chest to tight with worry.

I tried to open my eyes, but they felt like they were glued down. I finally just forced them open anyways.

I looked around the bright room. My eyes wandered until I reach the white board hanging on the door. It listed the date, the nurse on duty, and said I was not on any medication. But when I read the name of my doctor, my breath caught.

CULLEN was written in the most eloquent writing I have ever seen.

Is it possible? Can my life be that perfect?

"Mommy's up!" Hannah yelled, loudly, from Emmett's lap in the corner. My headache was starting to come back.

"Hannah, you can't yell. Mommy doesn't feel good," he said gently. She looked up and smiled. She wrapped her arms around his neck, causing his face to light up.

"Sorry Uncle Emmie, I won't do it again, I promise," she pledged still hugging him. Rose sniffed from the other corner. I looked at her and saw the tears in her eyes. I didn't even realize she was in here.

"Hey, Hannah, let's go get something to drink," Rose suggested.

"Bye Mommy," Hannah said as she jumped off Emmett's lap, and ran to grab Rose's waiting hand. She stumbled over her feet, and I once again felt guilty that she inherited that from me.

"So what happened last night?" Emmett questioned once they shut the door behind them.

"I fell."

"Please Bella, tell me the truth."

"That is the truth."

"Why are you trying to defend him? He's been nothing but an asshole to you."

"I fell, and I would never defend him. Why would I?"

"I don't know-" but he stopped immediately as there was a slight knock on the door. After a pause, the person opened the door slowly. The man, who obviously was a doctor, should be a movie star. He was drop dead gorgeous. He was tall with blonde hair and blue eyes. I could tell he was older, but that added to his looks. He smiled at me and I snapped out of my trance. He clearly was used to be starred at.

"I'm Dr. Cullen, and it's lovely to see you're awake Mrs. Newton," he said sweetly, but I still cringed at the use of the name.

"Please call me Bella," I practically begged. He chuckled and walked over to the edge of the bed.

"Bella, it seems you have a hairline fracture in your ankle, but you need to be in a walking boot for a few weeks. Also you have a slight concussion. It's not too severe, but still something you need to be careful about," he said. "The cut on your head didn't need stitches or anything, so there's some good news. I bet you want to get out of here, so once we get you a boot that fits you can be on your way."

I just nodded my head. I could have had it a lot worse. Hell, I've had worse.

Dr. Cullen was still taking, but I tuned him out. Maybe he's related to Edward or something. There can't be that many Cullen's out there.

"Excuse me, but are you related to an Edward Cullen?" I asked feeling the heat rush to my cheeks. At least I let him finish taking before I asked.

He smiled at me. "He's my son. How do you know Edward?"

"I met him the other day after he saved my daughter from getting hit by a car," I said. He just nodded his head.

"Well, it was nice to meet you," he said after a moment of silence. He shook my hand and smiled at me again. "And I hope you and Edward become friends. He needs someone like you in his life."

I blushed. "I'll probably see you again, because I fall a lot."

He laughed and finished writing something in my file. I looked over at Emmett and he raised an eyebrow.

"Shut up," I mumbled.

"Mommy, look who I found!" I heard Hannah yell as she ran back into the room. Standing behind her, with a huge smile on his face, looking as good as ever, was the one and only Edward.

"Hello," he said in his velvet voice, causing my breath to hitch.

"Hi," I mumbled back as I felt the blush coming back to my face.

"It looks like you're in good hands, so I'm going to get something to drink now," Emmett said with a knowing smile. He grabbed Rose's hand on the way out.

"Well, I should be leaving here also. Goodbye Bella," Dr. Cullen said also walking out the door.

"This is a surprise," Edward laughed and walked closer to the bed.

"Yeah, I can't believe your dad was my doctor," I said.

"I was actually wondering, Bella, if maybe I-" but he was interrupted by the familiar sound of my phone ringing. I grabbed off the bedside table.

MIKE came across the screen.

"You know you shouldn't answer that in here," Edward said with a smirk. I smiled back and pressed the end button.

"What were you going to ask?"

"Maybe we could get coffee sometime?"

"You know I married, right?"

"Yeah, but we can still be friends," he suggested, but sounded glum admitting this.

"I would like that then," I answered honestly. I looked away and noticed Hannah. She was just smiling looking out the window.

Oh, what have I got myself into?


So please review and tell me what you think!
