Right Here All Along
Chapter 9
Here we were on our honeymoon and I'm trying to find quiet time with my husband and be there for the movie producers and to top it all off I was still violently ill. Carlisle was coming this weekend and checking me out, we just didn't trust anyone else right now.
Emmett was getting frustrated and I was tired and crying, not the honeymoon we envisioned.
"Bells, please take a couple days off. We just need to stay in bed and get you relaxed." Emmett sighed as he paced the hotel room.
"Emmett, I'm fine." I smiled.
"Bella, you've LOST 8 pounds since our wedding! You're NOT fine. Why do you think I called my dad?" he walked over and hugged me.
"OK. I'll text the producer and let her know they can reach me by phone for the next couple of days." I relented.
"Bella, I'm not trying to be an asshole here. I love you and I only want the best for you, us." Emmett hugged me tight.
There was a knock on the door and Emmett kissed my forehead. "That'll be dad." He smiled.
He opened the door and immediately went off. "What the fuck is he doing here dad?" Emmett barked.
"Calm down son. I've got to get back, I've got an important meeting that came up. I just wanted to be here with Edward to go over everything with him. He'll stay for the next three weeks and watch Bella's progress. He's right next door if anything happens. He also has rights at the local hospital. I let them know Bella is a high-risk pregnancy, he can be lead doctor in her care." Carlisle nodded.
"Carlisle." I smiled and hugged him, he returned it and then led me to the room, telling me we needed to talk in private. I looked towards Emmett and he shrugged, as did Edward.
"Bella, I noticed when I looked at the ultrasound closer that you have some scar tissue." Carlisle sat calmly holding my hand and I lost it. I told him all of what happened, from Edward's roughness with me the first three times to the abortion.
"Bella, why didn't you come to us?" Carlisle asked sadly.
"I was scared, alone." I held onto him and cried.
"Will you be OK with Edward looking after you?" he asked sincerely.
"Yeah, but I'm not telling him." I stated firmly.
"I'll stand beside you on that. I'll let him know it was from previous problems and will note it as well." Carlisle patted my hand.
"I'll get Edward so we can start the exam." He smiled and I nodded.
Twenty minutes later they were done and Carlisle said he'd run the blood and urine sample by the hospital and introduce Edward and then come back and have dinner with us before catching his flight home.
Emmett and I laid down for a short nap, listening to Carlisle I was going to take it easy.
Thankfully we gave them a key, we were out and didn't hear them come in. Carlisle woke us when it was time for dinner.
"Bella, I was able to get the tests ran right away since you're a high risk, you're dehydrated, and anemic. I've got some extra iron tablets for you and you're going to need a lot more rest and fluids. No more than five hours a day at work, if you know it's going to be a long day, they must provide you a place to rest or you come back to the hotel and they can contact you here. No arguments! Emmett and Edward will be with you, I'd prefer you NOT to drive." Carlisle stated.
"OK, we can make that work." Emmett spoke up.
"I'm with Emmett. She'll be in good hands dad, promise." Edward smiled softly at his brother and me.
Dinner was nice, Emmett and Edward talked civilly and I sat and listened, not wanting to interrupt their re-bonding.
Carlisle talked with me and noticed the same thing I did.
After dinner we headed back to the hotel as Carlisle caught a cab to the airport.
"If you guys need anything, I'm next door, just call." Edward smiled at his brother and wished us a good night.
Relaxing the next two days was nice and so hard to do.
My phone rang constantly and I was trying hard to keep food down again.
I was able to get Emmett and Edward to go out to lunch alone, promising I'd nap, which I did. Emmett woke me when they returned and said they'd brought back lunch.
I nibbled on it a little while and then excused myself to lay on the couch, immediately falling asleep.
"Emmett she's going to be fine. She's just having a rough pregnancy. We see these all the time. And it doesn't help she's stressing herself over the movie. I'm not going to let anything happen to her. I know I screwed up years ago and I'm sorry. I hope it hasn't caused a rift between you two. You are perfect for each other." Edward sighed and walked out.
"How much did you hear?" Emmett asked as he walked towards the couch.
"All?" I smiled.
"I hope you're really OK with this." Emmett asked.
"Yes I am, especially if it means you're going to get your brother back. I know you've missed him. Now, let's work on our honeymoon exercise." I smiled wickedly and led him to the bed.
