Chapter 15: Hospitals, Doubt, Questions, and Calendars

Carlisle POV

Where did it all go wrong this morning? What happened that made Jasper snap just like that? What set him off on attacking Casey? Millions of questions bubbled in my head and of the two people sitting here nobody knew what had happened. Edward and I sat outside in the corridor as Casey lay asleep in a hospital bed. Little did I know when I took today off that I would find myself here at work anyway. Casey had quite a few injuries. She had lost a lot of blood, a concussion that had already been treated successfully, and bruises that carpeted every inch of her frail tiny body. It could have been worse but this was bad enough.

Alice had seen Jasper attack Casey and had called us. She didn't see what triggered Jasper's reaction so I guess we were all going to have to wait until Emmett and Jasper came home after hunting. The girls had begged to come home, but we convinced them to stay as they hadn't even had a chance to hunt since they had to travel so far. We told them that if they didn't hunt now they would have to make up for the lost trip and leave her again anyway. We had to do more than to convince them though we had to force them to stay and not run home to their precious Casey.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Emmett and Jasper as they took the corner at the end of the hall. Emmett looked worried and stressed even after spending the day hunting. Jasper looked ashamed as he hung his head and followed along Emmett a little slower than his brother.

"Is she okay?" Emmett asked his eyes bugging out of his head in fear that something was seriously wrong.

"She'll be fine; nothing too bad, bruises, a concussion, and she also lost a lot of blood when the glass cut her." I explained.

"I'm a monster," Jasper whispered shaking his head slightly.

"Jasper you didn't mean it," Edward said trying to comfort his brother.

"No I am, she's my sister and I almost killed her." He sighed gently and turned to look up at Emmett. "It's a good thing you were there Emm."

"Yes Emmett, I am very proud of your control and that you were able to get Jasper out of there before things got any worse," I praised him patting him gently on the back. He really did do a good job earlier today. If Emmett hadn't been there Casey might not even be alive now.

"Thanks Dad, can we go in and see her?" He asked

"Not right now she's fast asleep with all of that pain medication in her."

"She'll never forgive me," Jasper said.

"Of course she will forgive you Jazz, she loves you and everything you do for her, nothing could change that." Edward comforted his older brother.

"I almost killed her and she knows that, I know she's been brave through everything, but I'm afraid that maybe I just pushed her over the edge. Maybe it's all just too much for her. I feel do guilty. What if she doesn't want to stay with us?"

"Give her some space for a while and see how she reacts to it," Emmett suggested ignoring Jasper's question about her not wanting to stay. Nobody wanted to even think of that.

"We have a bigger problem then that," I explained.

"What?" Jasper and Emmett asked in unison both looking me straight in the eye in fear and worry.

"What are we going to tell the humans about this little accident? What are we going to tell them about how Casey got hurt?" Edward finished for me. This question had been bothering me for hours. Casey would not be in school for at least a few days and we needed the perfect excuse that could result in a nine year old girl falling through a screen door and into the yard.

"Umm… she tripped?" Jasper offered sarcastically as he sat down carefully in the chair to my right.

"Oh I got a good one!" Emmett said.

"That just might be stupid enough to make sense!" Edward began laughing after hearing the excuse he heard in Emmett thoughts.

"What is it that's so funny?" I asked perplexed on how something so hilarious would be logical enough to explain Casey's injuries.

"Okay dig this, we were playing football in the house, even though we aren't supposed to, and I told her to go long for the pass out the door, but she didn't see that it was shut, and badabing! Casey ran right through the door tripping and hitting her head on the porch and rolling down the stairs!"

We all stared at Emmett. He smiled back and we all exchanged glances.

"So what do you think? Isn't that like the best idea ever?" He said bouncing up and down lightly.

"Hmm…Emmett, I think Edward's right; that just might be stupid enough to work! What do you think Carlisle?" Jasper asked me.

"You guys are right that might actually work! Good job Emmett, you're on a roll today!"

"What can I say you either got it or you don't and I got it!"

"Wow something useful actually came out of Emmett's head. This is a first. Someone mark it on a calendar!" Edward joked.
