After Bella asked her sister to give her and Carlisle some privacy she sat against the wall and waited for her outside and when Bella finally came out she saw stitches in her arm. Alex was about to walk downstairs with her when Carlisle stopped the older girl, "I'll have to look at your head." He said.

Alex looked at Bella who had her head down then nodded and walked into Carlisle's office. "What was that down there?" She had to ask, she was concerned about what her sister had gotten herself into.

He looked at the whilst he numbed the skin around the cut on her head before preparing for it to be stitched, "I, uh, I don't know what to tell you."

She raised an eyebrow at him, "Your son almost attacked my sister then you tell me you don't know what to say?" She wasn't mad, at least she didn't think she was. "What are you? A coven of vampires?" She asked, jokingly. Even though she knew he was he had never officially said it. He left the hospital before she even go to ask him about it.

His lip twitched up at that, "We've already had this conversation." He sighed, thinking back to her time in the mental hospital. "Are you scared?"

Alex thought about that for a minute and realised she wasn't, "No." At that she felt something poke through her skin and winced. "You did numb it before sticking through that needle?"

"That's all you're concerned about?" He asked as he carried on, "About me numbing your skin when you're in an office with a vampire?"

"So you admit you're a vampire?"

"I didn't say that I did."

"But you did."

He sighed, "All right. We're vampires, all of us. Jasper is a new member of our coven and he's a little uneasy around humans."

"And when he see's blood, he goes..." She couldn't find the word, "Like that?"

He nodded, "Normally he can handle it but for some reason he just couldn't tonight."

"So how can you handle it?" She asked.

He smiled, "I'm very old and I've just learned to deal with the smell. Of course, I'm a doctor. I think it would be pretty unhelpful to suck on ill people's blood."

Alex laughed, "Yeah, it would be and they won't thank you for it."

"No, they would not." He smiled at her again and put a small bandage over her new stitches. "I should get you home."

"It's fine, I can go with Bella." She said, standing up from the chair she was sitting on.

"She's already left with Edward." He told her.

"Good to know." She bit her lip and nodded.

"So, will you take up my offer of driving you?"

Alex took a deep breath and nodded, "Sure. Thank you."

~~~~~

Carlisle drove her home and waited for her to get out, "I'm sorry this had to happen. I didn't mean for any of you to get hurt." He told her.

Alex shook her head, "Don't worry about it, and just so you know, I don't blame Jasper, and I don't think Bella does either."

He smiled, "Thank you. Bella is just like you."

"What do you mean?"

"She didn't freak out when she found out we were vampires and neither did you."

Alex shrugged, "Bella's a little weird, that's why. But, if I'm honest with you, I think vampires are pretty cool."

He raised his eyebrow at the vulnerable human, "We kill." He said in a deadly voice.

"Yeah well, that's the downside of it." She smiled then opened up the door, "Thank you for driving me home and thanks for the stitches." She chuckled, "Though, it would have been nice not to receive them."

He chuckled, "You're welcome, and sorry. Again."

"It's not your fault." She smiled again, "It's not Jaspers either." She got out of the car and waved at him as he drove off. She sighed and tried to cover her forehead with her hair to try and hide it from her dad.

She walked into the house and smiled at the officer, which he returned but as his eyes drifted upwards he lost his smile, "What happened to your head?"

She raised her hand to it, "This? I've had this for days."

He pursed his lips and got up, walking over to her and moved her hair out of the way, "I'm no doctor but this looks fresh. And plus, I would have noticed it long before now."

"Maybe you just have bad eye sight, dad. Might want to go get your eyes tested." She smiled and turned to walk away.

"Alexandria." He said sternly which made the girl wince and turn towards him and she folded under his gaze,

"All right, fine! Just stop looking at me like that!" She sighed, "I was up at the Cullen's with Bella...," She started, trying to drag it out as much as possible.

"Alex!" He almost shouted at her, knowing what his daughter was doing.

"I fell down the stairs and hit my head off their banister." She said so quickly that she hoped he would believe her. She watched him as he just shook his head,

"You have to be more careful. I don't know where you got this clumsiness from but I definitely know where Bella got it from. You." He frowned and hugged her, "Did you go to the hospital and get it done?"

"No," She smiled, "Dr. Cullen did it for me."

He nodded, "I just thought because you didn't come home at the same time as Bella."

"Oh, yeah no, Edward offered to bring her home since it was late and I had to get this done." She pointed to her head, "Well, I'm going to bed. Night, dad," She smiled at him and walked up the stairs.

"Night, baby girl." She heard him say and she looked up and saw Bella who rushed to hug her sister then pulled her into her room,

"So now you know."

"So now I know." She repeated her.

"And you aren't scared or whatever?"

"No. Bell's you live with me, you should know that I love the idea of vampires."

She nodded her head to the side, "Right. Well, are you okay?"

"Yes." She nodded, "Are you? You got it worse than me."

She waved her hand and nodded, "Sure. I'm fine." Alex knew that she was lying and Bella probably knew that Alex was lying. They both don't really like to say when they're hurt and just keep it to themselves.

"Right." She said, "Well, we should get some sleep."

She nodded, "Yeah. Night, Alex."

"Night, Bell's." She kissed her head and went to her own room and got changed into her pyjama's. She took off her make-up, brushed her teeth in the bathroom then went to her bed where she stayed up most of the night reading her book. When she did get to sleep though she had the most weirdest dream of Carlisle and his family. When she woke up in the middle of the night she thought she saw the doctor standing in her room but she knew it must have been an hallucination as she got her small torch and turned it on then shone it to where she thought he was standing. Of course, he wasn't there but she decided to sleep with her lamp on just in case.
