Bella's POV (Lacy-age 3)
I'm having lunch with Emily and Leah and Kim while all the guys hang out at the house with the kids. Just as our food comes Quil calls and I answer knowing he wouldn't call without a reason.
He tells me Lacy fell from the monkey bars, he's taking her to the ER.
"I have to go, Leah can I take the car, I'm sure someone can come pick you up. I'm so sorry." She hands me her keys and then asks why I have to leave so suddenly.
"Oh right, Quil is taking Lacy to the ER, she fell from the monkey bars." I'm shaking and crying, what if she's really hurt?
"Hey, you can't drive. We'll take you and drop you off. I'm sure she's fine." Emily tells me.
Leah gets the waiters attentions and pays the bill really fast and then we head the hospital.
As soon as we get there I find out her room # and rush in to see her.
"Oh I'm glad you're here, she's been crying for you. I am so sorry Bells." Quil tells me as soon as I walk in.
"Mommy, hurts!" Lacy screams.
I sit by her and kiss her head and tell her the doctors are going to make it better.
"Why are you sorry?" I ask Quil.
"It's my fault, I knew she was up there but we playing football and I was watching her but I didn't think she could get hurt from that low down. I should have been standing with her." He looks like he's about to cry.
"Baby, chill out. I let her do the monkey bars by herself all the time while I'm gardening. She can go all the way across by herself; she does it all the time. It was an accident." I tell him.
"I should've been there; I should've been there to catch her." He tells me.
"Quil, she's so active and fearless, she's going to get hurt sometimes. Baby she's your kid. I'm surprised we made it this long with her climbing chairs to climb cabinets and jumping out her crib. It's just a broken arm. She's going to be fine."
The doctor comes in and tells her she's going to have to be a cast for at least 6 weeks. This should be fun.
After hours we go home with a very exhausted and cranky Lacy.
We walk in and Jake and Leah are cleaning everything up from earlier.
"Hey Lacy, how you feeling baby girl?" Leah asks her.
"Bad." She whines.
"Come on Lacy, let's get you to bed." I pick her up and she screams daddy come too! So he follows us up.
After we put her down we go and help Jake and Leah clean up.
"You didn't have to stay but thanks." I tell them.
"We didn't want you to have to do it and everyone else had a kid to put to bed. But we don't mind really." Jake tells me.
"Embry doesn't have a kid to put down." Quil tells him.
"Yeah well he might as well with Lauren. She's whines likes one and she's completely useless. I really don't get why he's still with her." Leah answers back.
"Because he loves her and they fit. I mean yeah she's annoying as hell and she hates me but she needs someone patient and more sensitive than a normal guy. And he needs someone he can over-love and protect. That's her." I tell them.
"I really don't get why you defend her babe, she really does hate you. She only came today because you were gone." Quil tells me.
"She doesn't have to like me, she loves Embry and he loves her. That's all that matters. I'm going to go to bed." I kiss Quil good night and lay down.
I hate talking about Embry and Lauren. It was me who convinced him to ask her out. It was me who got Quil and Jake to leave him alone about it. It was me that said yeah I understand when he told me he couldn't hang out with me alone anymore because Lauren is jealous. I was me that said I understand when he started hanging out with us less and less and then only when it was just Quil and Jake.
He seems happy and it's not like I need him. I have lots of other friends. I just thought I meant more than that to him.
Lacy starts crying so I get up to check on her and give her some Tylenol.
"Sleep with you mommy." She tells me so I carry her back with me.
"Daddy?" She asks.
"He's with Jake and Leah baby, he'll be here soon." I tell her and she curls up next to me and falls asleep.
Quil comes in and kisses her on the head and moves her unto her pile of blankets on the floor, this is pretty routine.
"You know he still loves you right?" He asks.
"I don't want to talk about it. He picked her, were not friends." I tell him.
"Fine, then you're really not mad at me for letting Lacy break her arm?" He asks.
"If I had been here with her would you have been mad at me?" I ask him and he says no of course not. "Then why should I be mad at you?"
"I love you Bells."
"I love you too."
"Can I at least be sorry she got her fearlessness from me?" He asks.
"Yes I do blame you for that."
He laughs and kisses me goodnight and we fall asleep only to wake up with Lacy in the middle of us as usual.
