Author notes: Here's the lametastic chapter seven! Enjoy! For those of you who don't know Sea-Tac is the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport
Chapter Seven
The Sea-Tac airport was pretty busy that Sunday afternoon as Esme and Carlisle got the kids their tickets and passports verified, then walked them to the security gate. Bella hadn't let go of Carlisle's hand for a moment. She hadn't taken kindly to the news that he wasn't coming with them right away.
Two days ago…
Carlisle sat Bella down on the big comfortable chair in his office and couched down in front of her, smiling, almost sadly. He brushed a lock of hair out of her face. "Bella, you know we're moving right?" He asked, Bella nodded. "Do you know where?"
Bella nodded and smiled, her big brothers, sisters and Edward, her boyfriend she claims, told her about it. "An island!" She said. Carlisle felt sad that he'd have to break her cheerful mood. She was excited about going. She said she's never been to the beach. That her parents, her biological parents, were taking her camping and then go to the beach, and then the best part! They were going to drive down to Disneyland. Unfortunately, her parents met up with a pair of hungry monsters. "It's gonna be fun."
"I'm sure it will, Bella." He agreed, "There's something I have to tell you, about the trip." Bella looked up at him with sparkling brown eyes, wide and innocent. He took a deep breath and released it. "Esme and I are going to stay behind for a few weeks, then we're going to join you and the others."
Her face crumpled up, her lip pouting and trembling. He waited for it to come, the tantrum all little kids have when something doesn't go the way they want. After a few moments the screaming didn't come. She just hopped down from the chair and walked out, stomping her feet and slamming the door as hard as she could. Carlisle winced and got up to go after her, but waited for the fireworks to start. He wasn't disappointed.
"I WANNA STAY HERE!" She screamed, tears already falling down her cheeks. "I. WANT. TO. STAY. WITH. YOU!" She stomped her feet with each word. The screaming went on for what seemed like an eternity. She dropped down and hit the floor with her fist as Carlisle stood by and watched, letting her get it out of her system. He sat through a tantrum of hers a few times before, and he would sit them out, wait for her to calm down.
The tantrum went on for another ten minutes, until Jasper and Alice came back early and calm filled the air. Bella calmed down considerably and sniffled. She ran to her room, slamming her door. She climbed on the bed and buried her face in the pillow as she cried. She rolled over and screamed once the calm feeling was gone.
Everyone that was in the house winced. "I WANNA STAY WITH DADDYYYYY!" She drawled the last word out. After 10 minutes the house fell silent and everyone held their breaths. They could hear Bella's steady breathing. She had fallen asleep. Jasper sat back on the couch, folded his arms and put them behind his head, content.
Back to the present…
Carlisle bent down to Bella's level and looked her in her eyes. "I'll only be gone for a few weeks. I promise you'll have fun. Listen to your siblings." Bella nodded mournfully and hugged him tightly.
Esme hugged her children and saved Edward for last. It was known that he was her favorite, her first adopted son. She hugged him and kisses his forehead.
"Aw mom…" He said, embarrassed.
"Now Edward, I want you to make sure Bella goes to bed at a decent time." She told him, Edward promised. He didn't like upsetting Esme. He hugged her tightly and let her go, then took Bella from Carlisle. Emmett came to Esme and gave her a big bear hug, spinning her.
"I'll miss you, mommy." He said, causing Rosalie to roll her eyes. Esme smiled.
"Be good Emmett." She said, "I'll miss you too." The farewells went on for another few moments then Carlisle ushered them to the line and waited until they were through security. He wrapped his arms around Esme and waved to the kids.
After the seatbelt sign went off, Bella unbuckled her seatbelt and went to Rosalie since Alice had her eyes closed, pretending to be a sleep. Edward, Jasper and Emmett was setting up a three way chess game, so that left Rosalie to snuggle with. She crawled in her sister's lap.
Rosalie looked down and smiled, wrapping an arm around the girl. "Sleepy?" Bella nodded, "It's a long flight isn't it?" Again, Bella nodded, yawning. Rosalie called for a stewardess to give them a blanket. She wrapped the little girl in her arms up and held her as Bella fell asleep.
Bella sat in her seat on the plane. They had an overnight layover in Houston. She hummed as the stewardess came around passing out soda and snacks. She came to Bella and smiled. "Hello little one, do you want a snack and something to drink?" Bella nodded and she was handed a packet of trail mix and she requested apple juice. She sat back and opened the bag as the lady left to help other people.
She ate a pretzel, unaware of the other contents inside the little trail mix bag. After a few moments, she felt tightening in her chest, the inability to breath. She gasped for air as she went in to a severe allergic reaction, 3000 feet up in the air. Suddenly her brothers and sisters was around her and Alice was digging Bella's bag. Carlisle had packed a carry on bag for Bella, and made sure that he had packed EpiPens incase she came in contact with peanuts on the plane. They forgot about the trail mix packets. Alice grabbed it and jabbed it in the small girl's leg, releasing the drug.
Bella felt light headed, unable to breath. Darkness creeping up on her, ready to claim her. Then suddenly, she felt a stab in the leg as Alice jabbed her with her epinephrine, or EpiPen. She faintly heard voices and felt a mask going around her face, helping her breath, a portable oxygen tank was giving her extra oxygen. Bella became more aware of her surroundings when a warm hand, not the cold ones she was used to, touched her.
Edward had asked if there was a doctor onboard, and luckily there was. She was now tending to the little girl. "Pulse is returning to normal, so is the heart rate. She's lucky to have had that EpiPen. I do suggest she goes to the hospital to be checked out though."
"Our father is a doctor," Edward said, "He'll look at her when we arrive at our destination." He smiled and told the airline worker that there wasn't any need to turn around. Alice had told them that Bella would recover. Edward sat down and picked up the phone from the back of the seat, he slid his credit card through the credit card slidey thing and called Carlisle.
"Carlisle? We're on the plane now. Listen, Bella had an allergic reaction. She's fine. We gave her medicine and there was a doctor on the plane luckily, but she'll be okay. I just wanted to tell you. She's a bit lethargic, however. Okay see you there, Carlisle." He hung up after a second. "Carlisle will meet us there."
When the plane landed, later that night, Edward and Bella were the first off due to the young girl's health. He held her in his arms. She was still out of it and Edward was growing concerned. Waiting for them was Carlisle, and two paramedics, Rosalie had the airlines call for an ambulance. Edward handed his precious cargo over.
Don't worry Edward, she's in good hands. Carlisle reassured him. I'm just taking her to get checked out and make sure everything's okay. I'll bring her to Isle Esme soon. Edward nodded and waited for his family and told them the news. They wanted to go to the hospital but Edward said it was best to get settled in on Isle Esme and that Carlisle would be by soon with their little sister.
"I wonder if we can sue…" Rosalie said, knowing she'd by Bella a pony if she sued, but then realized she had the money to buy Bella twenty ponies should she want ponies.
"It was an mistake and the airlines were nice. Lets get our luggage." Edward said and went to the luggage pick up area.
It was before dawn when Carlisle brought Bella to the island. He told her he had to go back home because he left Esme all alone, but he would call and talk to her. She accepted that and hugged her. She was quiet, not feeling well. It was an effect that would linger for a few days, but otherwise she should be fine. He reassured his children. Told them how proud he was of them and promised to call when he got home.
After Carlisle left, Bella asked a question. "How did daddy get to us so fast?"
"When motivated, daddy can go very, very, very, very fast." Rosalie said, chuckling and hugged her. "I'm glad you're okay, Bells." Bella smiled, then yawned. They had also given her Benadryl to help with the side effects, though her eyes were still kind of puffy. Rosalie picked her up and took her to bed after everyone gave her hugs.
"I told you she'd be okay." Alice said, grinning.

Endnotes: Remember the more you review, the faster I get these babies out. Though, I have been stuck a few times, but once I get the first few paragraphs going, I keep going. Oh and I know some of it seems unrealistic with the allergic reaction and stuff, but I'm not allergic to anything except nickel in earrings. Anyways, Review or Bella dies. MUWAHAHAHA. :D
