Chief of Police, Billy Black, steps into the surgical waiting room and wants nothing more than to be anywhere else. This is the part of the job that he wishes didn't exist, especially tonight. Because he isn't just a boss and fellow cop now; he's a godfather.
Bella and Emmett's dad, Charlie, was his best friend and partner. When he was killed in the line of duty, Bella and Emmett were 18 and had just graduated from high school. They'd already made it clear they were going into the police academy, but Billy tried his hardest to talk them out of it. When that didn't work, he pulled every string he could to get them assigned to his station house when they graduated at the top of their class. He made them partners even though it was technically against the rules, simply because he knew they would work well together and would watch each others backs more than anyone else. And for the last year and a half he'd tried almost every day to give them a promotion. A promotion that, unless there was some sick twist of fate, would keep them from being right where they are tonight.
All eyes turn to Billy as he surveys the room and Emmett gets up immediately, rushing into Billy's arms. He doesn't care that he's six foot four and 200 pounds, right now he's a scared brother and he needs the comfort of a loved one.
"She has to be okay." Emmett whispers, heartbreaking sobs almost drowning out his words.
Billy shushes him as he says, "She will be. She's strong."
The words, unfortunately, do nothing to relieve Emmett's worry and he sags further into Billy's arms.
Billy has to swallow back his own tears, there will be time to fall apart later. Right now Emmett, Carlisle, and Bella need him to be strong.
"How is he?" Billy asks, his eyes going to the devastated man across the room.
Emmett doesn't answer because words aren't necessary. Anyone that knows Bella and Carlisle knows that if she doesn't survive this, neither will he.
Billy nods and pulls back, keeping one hand on Emmett's shoulder. He leads him back to his chair and then takes a seat next to Carlisle.
He doesn't speak again as he joins those waiting for news.
