Saving Emily ch.2
(Edward's POV)
When we got home Bella ran into the house and into our room. I sigh and get out. I pick ness up and carry her to her room. I go to comfort my wife when my phone rings. I quickly answer.
"Edward I need you down here" Dad says as soon as I answer.
"Ok I'll be there in a few minutes" I say and hang up. Go back outside to my car and get back in. I drive to the hospital and go to dad's office.
"What's up?" I ask as I walk in.
"I need you to keep watch on Emily her uncle can't get here for a few days." He says and I nod.
"Has she woken up yet?" I ask softly and he shakes his head.
"Ok I'm going to go and wait for her to wake" I say and walk out of his office with a book from his shelves. I walk down the hall to Emily's room. I sit down in the chair next to her bed and start to read.
After an hour or so I hear her heartbeat speeding up meaning she was waking. Her eyes snap open and she looks around in fright.
"Mommy?" she asks.
"Emily" I say softly and she whips her head to the side t look at me.
"Where's mommy and daddy?" She asks near tears.
"Honey have you ever heard of heaven?" I ask softly and she nods with tears in her eyes.
"They told me buster went to heaven when he died, does that mean mommy and daddy died?" she asks and I nod sadly. She starts sobbing and I try to shush her. I hug her and she starts to sniffle.
"Hush its ok sweetheart, your uncle is coming a few days to take you home with him" I say softly but she stops in fear but relaxes before I could ask.
"Can you tell me what happened sweetheart?" I ask softly.
"My mommy was cooking and daddy scared her and she dropped a towel and it caught on fire and then caught the curtains on fire.. I got scared and hid that's why they died they were looking for me.' She cries.
"Shh its ok sweetheart its ok" I coo softly and hold her to my chest. She clings to me for comfort. I hold her to me and whisper soothing words. She yawns and I chuckle.
"Are you in pain?" I ask as I notice her grimace when she went to stretch. She nods and if on cue dad walks in.
"Hi Emily" he says softly. She looks at me and then back at him.
"OH I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself, I'm Dr. Edward Cullen but you can call me Edward and this is my father Dr. Carlisle Cullen" I say and she nods.
"How you feeling?" dad asks as he walk further into her room.
"Sore" she says softly and dad nods. He quickly does a checkup.
"Ok I'm going to get some pain medicine for you" he says and leaves. A minute later he comes back with a syringe. Emily pales and shrinks back.
"Shh darling its ok it's going to go into your IV port" I say softly. Dad quickly administers the medicine and Emily starts to yawn.
"Sleep Emily" I say as I tuck her in. I turn off the lights and shut her door softly.
"She's going to be sleeping a lot theses next few days" Dad says as he walks down the hall with me. I nod and walk to my office.
(3 days later)
I was sitting at the nurses desk talking to my nurse when Emily's uncle arrived.
"How can we help you sir?" my nurse asks.
"I'm here for Emily Jonson" he says and I standup.
"You must be her uncle Jason it's nice to meet you" I say. He nods and shakes my hand.
"If you follow me I can take you to your niece" I say.
"How is she?" he asks roughly.
"Doing well with the amount of injures she received. My father can discharge her tonight." I say and he nods. I knock on Emily's door.
"Come in" she says softly and I open the door she looks happy to see me but her eyes fill with panic and her heart races when she sees her uncle.
"Emily your uncle is here to take you home tonight" I say and her uncle walks past me to his niece.
"Oh Emily I was so worried" he says but his voice is too sweet. Something was up.
"I'll leave you two and try and find my father" I say and leave the door open in case of an emercancy. I didn't like the sound of Emily's heart rate.
"Kayla do you know where my father is?" I ask.
"Last time I saw him was this morning in the O.R" she says and I thank her before going to the surgery floor. I quickly find him by the nurse's station.
"Son you never come down here what's up?" he asks and walks towards me.
"Emily's uncle is here" I say and he looks at me questionably.
"When Emily saw him she panicked and he was sugar coating his voice" I say and he nods to himself.
"Edward you know we can't do anything we have no proof that he did anything wrong to her" He says as we walk back down to the PICU (pediatric ICU).
We walk to her room and dad knocks. He walks in.
"hello Mr. Jonson I'm Dr. Cullen I took care of your niece" dad says and shakes the man's hand.
"How is she ?" he ask sweetly and dad looks at me from the corner of his eyes.
"She's doing well, she is still on pain medicine and her bandages over her burns will have to be cleaned every morning and night" Dad says and her uncle nods.
"I'll go get her discharge papers and her prescription for pain killers and get a nurse to come in and disconnect her IV and get her dressed." Dad says and her uncle nods. Dad leaves and I follow. He goes to the nurse's desk and his personal nurse goes into the room. Mr. Jonson come out and waits by the door.
"Edward" Dads personal nurse calls and I walk back into the room.
"What's up?" I ask.
"Can you help me please" she says and I see Emily curled in a ball on the bed crying.
"Of course" I say and go over to her.
"Emily what's wrong?" I ask as I lift up her chin.
"I don't want to go home with him" She says.
"Why sweetheart?" I ask softly.
"Because he doesn't like me" She says.
"Honey you need to go home with him" I say softly and the nurse gets the IV out.
"Why can't I live with you?" she asks softly.
"Because honey I'm sure you would rather have family then me and my family who would be strangers" I say.
"Fine" she says softly.
"I got to go Emily but it was nice meeting you" I say and then leave the room and go to my office.
Were we making a mistake letting her uncle take her?
