A/N: 'Kay, so no reviews yet , but I couldn't abandon this story, so I'm updating. Please review, it is my first fanfic and I want to see if it's any good. Love, Flowers x P.S I also edited the first chapter, because I thought it was a bit short.
I returned to the waiting room and flopped down into a seat next to Luke. I sighed deeply. This was going to be a long day.
"Mr and Mrs Brandon, please, with their daughter Minnie?" A doctor said over the tannoy. Luke jumped, while I soothed Minnie who had just woken up and started crying again. "The Brandon family, please come to Room 4, where a doctor awaits." A static crackle then silence told us it was time to go to the room. We stood up, Luke brushing his suit down, me scooping Minnie into my arms.
"This way, please." A friendly looking nurse ushered us down the hall. "It's this room." She gestured to a door. We scurried in, to where an equally friendly looking doctor sat in a chair, tapping away on the computer.
"Hello, Mr and Mrs Brandon. If you could please lie Minnie down on the table in front of you." I gently lay her down, whilst Luke asked the doctor to call us Luke and Becky. "Right. My name is Dr. Green. Please, tell me, what actually happened to Minnie?" So I began the story, Luke sometimes cutting in to add more details.
"I had to go to this workshop. I was getting ready, realised I was running really late, and I was about to leave when I realised I had forgotten my shoes. I sent Minnie upstairs to get a pair of shoes for me, when I heard a thump and Minnie started screaming." I gestured for Luke to continue.
"Oh right, yes. Well, there was the thump and Becky ran upstairs, and shouted that Minnie here needed to get to the hospital. And we ended up here." Luke continued, stroking Minnie's wavy auburn hair. "She's in so much pain, please, can we just give her painkillers and an x-ray?"
"Well, Mr and Mrs Brandon,"
"Becky and Luke." I corrected subconsciously. The doctor ignored me, and carried on.
"I'm sorry to say that it's not that easy. You have heard about Baby P, am I right?" Luke and I nodded. "Well your story sounds rather, how do I put this, unbelievable. So we are going to have to contact social services."
Luke caught on quicker than I did. "Wait, you think we are abusing her? That's fucking idiotic! Bloody hell! Jesus, we love her! She's the fucking light of our lives! Without her, we probably wouldn't even be together. Please, at least give her some morphine before you carry on. Morphine, and we carry on. Is that okay? If not, we will take her to another hospital. What do you say?" Luke had obviously put his business cap on.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, Mr Brandon." For once Luke didn't correct his name. "If we give her morphine, it means we have understood your story and are going to give her treatment. So, we can't do that." Dr Green smiled.
"Right, let's go." Luke said, scooping up Minnie and walking towards the door. I followed like a little dog. However, when we reached the door, a policeman was waiting there.
"How did he get there?" I asked, shocked. This was almost like a movie.
"He got here because Dr Green asked me here. It's not everyday that we get a case as interesting as your own." The policeman said. "The name is Detective Cooper. Tell me, what happened again?" The policeman took out a notebook and pen.
"Bloody hell. Why don't you ask the doctor? Or the receptionist? I mean, for fuck's sake, look at Becky!" I had started to hyperventilate. The policeman and Dr Green both turned to look at me. Then Dr Green got off his giant arse and walked up to me.
"Mrs Brandon, it will be okay. Take some deep breaths." He said in what he thought was a soothing voice. Suddenly, a haze of red descended over my eyesight.
"NO IT FUCKING WON'T!"I screamed. Everyone flinched; Luke even gave out a little yelp. I never shouted. "MY DAUGHTER, SAID LIGHT OF MY LIFE, IS IN SO MUCH PAIN RIGHT NOW! SHE COULD HAVE BROKEN HER ANKLE! MY BABY IS INJURED! SO WHILE YOU ARE HELPING HER, I WILL ANSWER QUESTIONS. BUT NOW, WE REFUSE TO TALK UNLESS YOU HELP HER." I paused for effect, and also to calm myself down. "Right, Luke?" Luke, still shocked by my outburst, only nodded. The red haze faded until I could see properly again. "If only we were in Forks, then I would have contacted Carlisle." I said to Luke. Having met the Cullens when we went on a holiday to Forks, I had got to know them quite well. I had bonded especially well with Alice because of our shared love of shopping, and Carlisle. He had changed Luke and I when we were in the car crash. Luckily Minnie was staying with Jacob and Nessie and their twin girls, Jess and Amy at the time. Alice and I still emailed each other every day. We had to wear contact lenses so you couldn't see the gold our eyes had turned. That was why we had to stay in Forks for a year, to let our eyes go gold, rather than the red they started as. In all good time, we would change Minnie, when she was the same age as Edward was when he got changed. It was only then when I realised I had woken Minnie up, and she was crying even louder now. I started sobbing as well, just my crying was tearless. Luke wrapped me up into a hug, whispering soothing nothings into my ear. I stroked Minnie's gorgeous auburn hair, my hair, looked into her big green eyes, Luke's eyes. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. She took my breath away. She didn't need to be a vampire to be beautiful. I knew one day, she would belong to a boy, so many boys would want to be with her. But for now, she was mine and Luke's. Dr Green cleared his throat. I snapped to look at him, my gaze furious. He took a nervous step back.
"Well, I'm sorry, but we can't." he began, nearly stuttering. I could see beads of sweat forming on his forehead. I snarled. I could see the fear radiating off him. He gulped nervously. "Well, maybe we could. But it would be breaking almost all of the hospital's rules, and even worse the actual law."
"I don't care. Help my daughter, now!" I growled. He inched forward, and tried to make me let go of Minnie. "You don't need to hold her, you're checking her ankle."
"Mrs Brandon-" He began.
"Becky" I corrected him angrily.
"Becky, I, erm, I need to check her heartbeat, pulse, retina, etc. You need to put her down. You can still hold her hand, though." Dr Green tried pulling Minnie out of my arms, which made me snarl and Minnie let out a scream. He jumped back, so I slowly lowered Minnie down onto the table, not breaking view from Dr Green for even a millisecond. Slowly, he began his checks on Minnie, flinching whenever she whimpered, because I looked like I was about to murder him. I could do this easily. I blinked, and felt my lenses dissolve. I could see everything clearer all of a sudden, so I knew I had to go fix myself up.
"Sorry, I need the bathroom. Luke, hold Minnie." I said. Luke looked up and saw my eyes, then gave a nod of understanding. "Sorry Dr Green, I think I have something in my eye." Seeing he was about to offer to help, I quickly said "I have a phobia of other people touching my eyes. Help my daughter." And I was off before I heard his reply, pushing past various people, ignoring the beatings of hearts. I hadn't fed in a while; my eyes were very nearly black when I put my chocolate brown lenses into my eyes this morning. I only just realised quite how hungry I was. I would hunt tonight with Luke.
So, this chapter came out better than expected. I hope it's okay. I literally just decided to make it a crossover when I was writing this. First review gets a cookie! So review, sil vous plait!
