Emmett POV
Dammit, now I'm completely screwed… First the incident while cooking in class, then the biology lesson and now me showing-off in gym class. I guess Carlisle will be pretty pissed at me when he comes home. Maybe I should start writing my testament….
Bella POV
Oh man, I'm just adding to my list today. I didn't pay attention and got knocked out by a stupid volleyball. Again, in front of Carlisle, my future father-in-law. Great. He promised to check on me later. Gladly Charlie isn't at home tonight, so I don't have to tell him. At least, that's something. But I still made a fool out of myself…
Carlisle POV
Finally, I was done with the last class: freshman biology. Now heading home, I thought of having to deal with Emmett and his actions. I sighed. There really was a long list of unpleasant actions today. Throwing a sponge, making fun of Bella, not listening to the teacher and, last but not least, showing-off in gym class. What am I supposed to do with that boy? Will he ever learn to behave himself? Grounding him would do no good, I suppose. I tried that on several occasions. Banning him from using any of his media would also bring nothing but stress to the whole family. Because Emmett would either try to talk me out of it or going on somebody's nerves to cease his boredom. I sighed again. Maybe a simple talk would do this time, if I got him to take it serious enough. And, the more I thought of it, the more it looked like Emmett really regretted his actions. In biology, he looked really ashamed and embarrassed, and in gym class also. Actually, he looked a bit scared too. So it's settled then. A little small talk with my small big boy. After that, I will go and check on Bella to make sure she's alright.
Emmett POV
I heard Pop's car come down the driveway to our garage. Oh-oh. Time to face the angry tiger and-"Emmett, would please join me in my office?" Here we go. I opened the office door and trotted over to the chairs in front of the desk, facing the floor. "Emmett, look me in the eyes please." I slowly looked up, using my best beaten-dog expression I could come up with to show him that I really was sorry. Dad sighed. "Emmett, son, I know that you are sorry. But still, what's done is done and there is no going back. Would you, and answer honestly please, do that all again if you could relive the day and change your actions?" "Sure, Pops. I would not throw that sponge again, I wouldn't laugh at Bella or the other students in gym class." I answered eagerly, wanting him to forgive me. Dad sighed one more time. "Alright Emmett. Since you really are sorry you won't receive any punishment, but, should I ever catch you doing those things again, there will be no way out of it. Do I make myself clear, son?" "Crystal" I quickly replied. "Okay, well then you are free to go. I need to check on Bella, she got hit by a volleyball pretty hard and blacked out for a moment." And with that, he was gone.
Bella POV
The doorbell rang. I knew instantly, this was Carlisle. To check if my head was alright. I sighed, but opened the door. "Hello, Bella. I just wanted to check on your head again, to see if there is really no damage other than the small bump I already noticed." "Sure, come in." I closed the door behind him and turned around, so that he could get started.
Carlisle POV
I quickly checked Bella's pupils and her head altogether. Everything seemed fine. No harm done. Thank God. "Alright Bella, seems that you are alright. But please, do it the easy way this evening. Actually, I would like to have you in my line of sight for tonight. Would you mind coming over?" "Sure, that would be nice. Thanks, Carlisle" "No problem at all." I smiled at her and she kindly smiled back. "Just one more thing." Bella said. "Yes?" I asked. "Is Edward there tonight?" She bit her bottom lip, unsure. I chuckled. She was truly a miracle happening to our family. And I can't wait for the next day to come, because I already spotted her name on the list for the HE course tomorrow…
