If I Fell

Chapter 7

CPOV

"I can't believe she walked out on me! It's the one thing we both said we'd never do and she does it!" I paced back and forth in front of Renee and Charlie.

"Listen, she's pregnant, scared and hormonal. She's never been one to run, but she freaked when she thought you didn't want her. I'm sure she was thinking of her EX." Charlie reasoned.

"It still doesn't excuse her not calling me and letting me know she's OK!" I snapped.

"She'll come around. She's with an old friend, she's safe and keeping in touch with me." Charlie admitted.

"Where? Where is she?" I begged.

"No, no way! I value my balls! My sister would chop them off if I betrayed her. Just let her relax and gather her thoughts, she'll be back soon." Charlie smiled and asked me to trust him.

"Just so she knows there's going to be a serious talk! I'm pissed she did this, especially while carrying my child. She can't just run away Charlie!" I was yelling again.

"Look, just be calm. You're the doctor, you should know this. She doesn't need to get stressed, especially this early in her pregnancy." Renee scolded me.

"I know, I know Renee. I guess that's why I'm yelling now." I shook my head.

"Look, things will work out. Just forgive her. She loves you and I know you love her. She just doesn't think you feel as strongly." Charlie sighed. I nodded and thanked them for listening. I had to get home so I could sleep before my shift.

BPOV

I was so nervous about seeing Carlisle tomorrow.

I knew he was at work, I wanted to come into town after he was. Charlie said he drove by and checked on my house every day.

Alice and I arrived around 9 last night and I knew Carlisle would get off around 8pm tonight.

We relaxed all day, Alice cooked dinner for us, leaving me picking at my food because of my nerves.

She warned me she was telling Charlie and Renee about my not eating at the BBQ tomorrow night.

I of course rolled my eyes at her.

I told Alice I'd see her later and she wished me luck.

As I approached the front desk the nurse gave me a dirty look.

"Dr. Cullen doesn't want to see you." She snapped.

"Susie!" the older nurse snapped.

"Come dear, I'll put you in his office and page him." She smiled sadly and kindly all at once. "I hope you being back makes him the happy man he'd been before these last few weeks." She squeezed my shoulder.

I smiled at her and sat on the couch in Carlisle's office.

"What is it Agnes? I've got five other patients to…" he trailed off when he saw me.

I stood and walked slowly toward him.

"I'm sorry. I know that's not enough nor will it ever be enough, but I don't know what else to say. I freaked out when you didn't say anything, then you shook your head and looked pissed." I rushed it all out.

"And me coming to your place, chasing you down, banging on your door, calling and texting you meant nothing?" he yelled.

"I'm sorry! I can't say any more!" I cried.

"You promised me that you'd never leave and I in return promised to never raise a hand to you, except for in passion! I was fucking stupid to believe you meant it!" he yelled and pulled at his hair.

"What? You think I didn't mean it? I'm not her! I'm not Esme! I'm here, I couldn't stay away from you!" I shouted while tears streamed down my face.

"Look, I've got work to finish up here. I'll call you when I'm ready to talk." He snapped.

"Will you be at the BBQ tomorrow?" I whispered.

"I don't think so. Please just go." He motioned towards the door with his hand.

"I really am…." I started and he turned to me with steely eyes.

"Don't! Just don't!" he growled.

I walked out wiping my tears and the nurse was smirking at me. I shook my head and walked to my car.

"Bells?" It was Jasper.

"Oh hey." I wiped my tears away.

"Did Carlisle do this?" he asked, clearly angry.

"Leave it be. Please." I shook my head.

"Fine, for now." He pushed my chin up to look at him.

"It'll be fine, no worries." I sniffled and smiled.

"I'll see you at the BBQ tomorrow, right?" he asked.

"Of course, Charlie and Renee would have my ass." I smiled.

He gave me a big hug and told me to be careful.

I drove home in a daze, not knowing when or if I'd see Carlisle again.

And there you go…
