Forks, 1988.
- I'm Dr. Carlisle Cullen and work in a hospital in Seattle, "I said as I hurried her way among patients, doctors and nurses who stood in the hall I bring a wounded man!
full trying to control my speed, but my own self had limits.
wore a wounded man on a stretcher and needed a second opinion. As I pushed through more and more impatient, I get a doctor who once treated me, probably because of the guild.
- Well Dr. Cullen? "I ask with practical aspect-What is the diagnosis?
"His name is Charles Swan, twenty-four, 1.85 cm, 81kg, group negative zero. I met him on the road trying to get help because someone-I was not going to tell the poor man rather "something"-has entered her house and assaulted causing him multiple fractures in both legs, broken ribs, possibly bruising in the area of the forebrain and lost a considerable amount of blood. As I have understood is not allergic to any medicine or drug, I explained as best I could given the history of the circumstances.
"Okay Dr. Cullen" Dr. Snow, from what I read on your plate began to observe the human who had saved and called two nurses "If you can go or you can entering the operating room and lend a hand because you are in the profession. Thank you very much for everything and given the circumstances a pleasure to meet Dr. Cullen.
I shook hands and prepared to enter the operating room with Charles, when Charles suddenly grabbed my arm and made me bend over until I felt her lips near my ear.
- Is it vegetarian? "Said a hoarse voice very low because of his injuries.
entendíaa At first he meant, but looking into his eyes I saw in them the spark of compression.
I felt slightly apprehensive, slightly pursed my lips and narrowed eyes darkened to but ultimately chooses to pretend not sabíaa what he meant.
"Mr. Swan, I think it suffers concussion, tried to hide behind my professionalism-atenderány Then you'll see how everything will be fine.
But I smiled, or at least tried, because his mouth was bruised, so enigmatic.
"No need to pretend with me, Doctor," she sighed Cullen. is vegetarian.
I must have astonished face because he laughed slightly and then complain about the pain that made the effort and whispered:
"I guess I wonder as I have known" His smile was amplified to look at my look of surprise and uncertainty, "Dr. Cullen've seen too much on his to not be able to recognize one of them as soon as I get a kick-and raise my arm slowly and when he showed his wrist and saw a dragon-shaped tattoo inverted red, I understood everything.
tried to stay as calm as possible.
could not do anything to me. First, because his health prevented him from even getting power and I also had fulfilled the rules and could not touch me. But still showed me slightly suspicious.
"Your secret is safe with me," I said because it meant my mood and I would reassure me.
smiled slightly and I was relieved. But something bothered me.
-Charles, "I whispered anxiously importante. And that is the question that out of my labioséese resistíaa pronounce the final" Do you know how it was that attacked you?
I started having a terrible foreboding as the only ones who were living in Forks were my family and me. No I wanted to think bad but I could not help and I started to think about each one of them. The only truly innocent
were Rosalie and Emmett, and who were doing their honeymoon in South America and Edward, who was with me at the time of the accident. Were discarded three, but still had another three that could have been.
I refused to think badly of Esme, because she had never bitten any human, and not going to do now and knowing what you could make.
Alice was too cautious and calm and if I had seen something, she would have abstained passing through that place at that time.
will only leave Jasper. I began to tremble, as though he tried with all his might, Jasper was the least self had on human blood. Recently had no cause for alarm, but it was like a bomb relojeríay could erupt at any moment. Had he been able to have attacked someone like Charles Swan? That would be an unprecedented disaster and try not to think about the consequences of their actions. Charles
response me back to reality.
"Sorry, but I think I can not help much, "sighed painfully, was covered with a black cape and all I saw was that it was very pequeñoy when I look with its bright crimson eyes, I felt a horrible pain and never felt as I could not move the insulated flooring, I calm down and I was sorry to think badly of Jasper. But I felt uneasy in the presence of vampires in Forks but could understand why. Our kind could be very vindictive and certainly Charles, for his condition, had done something to make him avenge started to torture. Then I saw the room as dirigíaa my wife ... "he opened his eyes suddenly remembering something and grabbed my arm forward. He seemed frightened was carried Renee! "His eyes showed his anguish and despair" Please, Dr. Cullen, you have to help me, "She's just a girl and is so innocent and is also embarazada.-beg "My baby is in danger.
Then I remembered that Edward had seen a very dark figure in your lap being a woman was wearing only a nightgown. Did not think twice and ran after her. I could not stop him and all I could do was throw your mobile to call me about something happening. The phone was quiet. Good maybe bad sign. I did not want to get in the worst.
"Mr. Swan, stay calm," I whispered to comfort but actually it was me who was nervous, "My son saw something and giving it scope. Surely at this time and have found "I tried to calm as I could but I did not say as I could find. I looked at Charles
gesture of despair as Dr. Snow took him to theaters.
I felt sorry for her and her baby and I cursed myself for belonging to the same species as that being who killed a helpless girl and her unborn child. But there was always a choice and I chose, perhaps by the Hippocratic oath that he had made to become a doctor or maybe it was not in my nature to tolerate abuses, protect these creatures as evil beings. And it felt like they were my kind or not. Evil is manifested in many ways and that was what was actually owed to eradicate.
" Carlisle, do not get at worst, I thought to myself, sure to call soon . "
disponíaa I leave the hospital when I heard the phone ringing. Anxiety made my movements were slow and clumsy, so it took longer to catch it.
, Edward, have you found? "I dropped from close range.
Edward's voice was breathy and tremulous.
" Yes, I have found Carlisle, gemíay seemed that I felt a strong pressure in my chest.
- Is alive? "I decided not beating around the bush and ask to have no anxiety or false hopes.
The response was immediate.
" Yes"
The sense of relief filled my whole being and for a moment I forgot that Edward's voice had a touch nervous.
- What was the vampire?
" Escaped" , I replied nonchalantly as if that was not the biggest problem.
"Well, I thought," and we'll find you later "
" Carlisle "I heard him whimper. It seemed as if any moment be put to mourn, if I could, or scream.
- something wrong, Edward? - I frowned.
" Yes"
- But what? "I was beginning to worry again.
" Please come running I'll go crazy!" Beg shouting, "warns And an ambulance, quick!"
Suddenly in the distance I heard a cry from a woman and as I started to get worse.
"There will have been able to ..." I did not wanted to imagine.
-Edward stammered "What have you done?
"I do not look!, shouted," What is doing it all alone "
And the cries of pain intensified.
And suddenly I remembered something I had said Charles Swan ...
-Edward, the woman is pregnant.
"I think I have not noticed! " I stopped screaming so loud that I had to remove your ear and make it a safe distance. " In fact I'm living in first person" I started
to perceive what was happening.
- Baby I asked.
" Do not worry about the baby comes because of the way!" - I felt like hysteria had gripped him - "Damn, Carlisle! ... Water has broken and having contractions every five minutes! You know what that means? "Of course I knew if I doctor was," What a hurry! "Scream Hearing Renee broke down over what was, " Please tell me that I can get back in until you come to you! ", I pretended not to hear such stupidity," Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn ... Damn!
I felt
ridiculous when I realize the staff looks amazed, as they were listening to everything, and apologized with a smile.
"It's a particularly patient made a gesture that was missing a screw-and now you've forgotten to take your medication.
And before you ridicule but I decided to go out of the hospital.
"Edward, calm-calm-I tried him there, but when you get to do something.
" Yes, of course I'll do something " he said sarcastically, "by Imre legs here ... Damn! ... Why me? "
deep breath to keep her quiet. In this situation, someone had to stay sane.
" not leave me," pleaded
"If I hear, everything will be fine. Now follow my instructions, "I said as he pointed to the receptionist to send an ambulance to the house of the Swan and dirigíaa me my car" Well, I left the briefcase in the house, go find and take the material you see fit, sterile, take water and towels, take it to a room clean and neat, look for a comfortable position and you'll see how nature operates on its own. Just lend a hand ...
"It's you who'll lend a hand to the neck, you little bastard!" , snorted, " Next time, you will responsible for this and I drive "
" Edward, I've done this many times and I assure you is easier than it sounds, I reminded him calmly.
"Sure! "replied bitterly, "Direct delivery while driving is easy. What I can do to me! "
turned on the engine of my car and stepped on the accelerator.
ever drove that night. I had to admit it was quite difficult to operate the steering wheel with one hand and have a phone in hand listening to the screams of pain and anguish, not understanding anything, a first-parturient and hysterical moans an inexperienced "midwife". I started questioning if I was going to have to take painkillers this night.
"Edward, I know you two diplomas on the wall of the Harvard University medical saying that you end up with an average of Distinction" I tried to call to order to see if he started to react.
I heard him whine even louder.
" it too late to confess this, but ... When I was studying medicine, I piraba all hours of gynecology because they seemed deadly soporific and if I passed the exams of this course, was because he read the mind of the professor. But you know that it was only in this subject. The others I passed by the human method "
Did you start to shake me out?
"Damn!, I never thought that this subject would be useful. I remember that I am not predicting the future "
" Well, do not worry and see if it has dilated, had to start being practical. Renee and Edward needed me to keep me calm and clear thinking.
More moans and cries.
" Damn, this boy was beginning to end of dictionary words because he had begun to lose count of the times he had repeated "fuck" in what we were in labor, "What a dilation ! What does that mean? "
smiled despite myself.
"That means a new life is coming," I said softly and is waiting to receive him.
" No! , "I hear whining loudly," This sucks. I see what happens. Today is Tuesday and thirteen "
- Do not tell me you're going superstitious back now?
"How not to be!, Because otherwise I can not explain. That baby is jinxed. Not born and is already beginning to torture me. I have an intuition that will be jodiendome my whole eternity "
-Edward, with a little luck you will not see this baby more than a few hours. And you never know.
" But I remember that damn life" , growled.
could hear the sobs of Renee and I decided to do something.
-Edward, leave the phone where you can hear me both, "then I went to Madame Renee Swan," I said with a soft voice and quiet as I thought it was what she needed- I'm Dr. Carlisle Cullen. I care for her husband ...
"Charlie?" moaned, "How are you?"
"He badly hurt but will leave this" I told him ; to reassure her.
" So you live?" asked, unsure.
"Of course now I am going to instruct you.
"Well, I'm glad Charlie is okay. Because then I can break every bone in me ... What a bastard! ... Why it does to me? ... It hurts! ... And you're even more fucking for me in the hands of an assistant as useless. How do you think of me in the hands of a vampire who is about to go into shock? I do not know what is going to do first. If you try to drink my blood or faint printing. Oh, my God! What have I done to deserve this? "
" That I ask myself, "I heard Edward say.
"Mrs. Swan" I said with a neutral tone to try to keep the situation under control "Do not worry. The blood of pregnancy and menstruation does not interest us ...
" That's true," Edward swore, "I've never had less thirsty in my life, and I felt that feeling nausea human as I'm feeling now. That sucks! "
I decided to ignore it.
"Mrs. Swan, my assistant is now under pressure but when you relax, it will be helpful. I trusted him, he is the best.
"But you're referring to me," replied the aforementioned .
"Shut up Edward and stop matters worse, I mentally cursed. Ignore him again.
"Okay, if it does what I tell him everything will be fine," she ordered, Relax, deep breath and push hard.
"Push?", "Push?", "Push, What do I have to push? How do you push? When push ?..."
- Not you, Edward! "Began to lose his temper," he referíaa Renee.
The road to the house of the Swan began hacérseme very long. The faster I insisted on going, it seemed that moved slower.
The cries of anguish from Renee and I were increasing their efforts to imagine out in front. That was a good sign. And was very close. He had attended a lot of deliveries but running one from a car was the hardest he had ever done.
But for some strange reason I knew it would be okay.
" I trust you, Edward " I thought hopefully.
" Psss, pssss, psss, pssss" heard from the phone. It seemed as if someone were calling a cat.
I did not think of anything at all.
- What are you doing, Edward? "I asked slightly nervous.
" As the baby is slower than the horse's bad, I decided to call to see if it already once and bloody, which is taking it very calmly. He will have no hurry, but to me it is fraying the nerves "
I began to take their hands on the head.
"Carlisle " Wow, "Please tell me what I'm doing wrong! The human does not stop scream "
count to ten before answering.
"You're not doing anything wrong," whispered a voice breaking with neural-births are painful to human women.
" That you can not know " he protested.
" And if we in the case, you either " I thought I could hear how tired
Renee focused on pushing while her husband cursed loudly and remember the day married him. That seemed a madhouse. And in the end Edward exploded at all:
"Damn!, If you give birth, please do so in silence, Hysterical!" roared, "Because if you go to shout I swear I'll leave you stranded in the field to give birth outdoors. As the cows!
If I started to head against the steering wheel, it was because I needed it. But how could I get so little sensitivity to women!
The road was starting to hacérseme ... too long.
I was worried. If not soon reached the house, rather than deliver a baby, would serve two, because if the situation remained as it was, Edward empezaríaa have a psychological pregnancy and I did not want ; to imagine the pains of childbirth.
I started thinking there had to be turned to Esme, as it was the only one who had gone through this experience and could understand what was going on Renee. But she could not grieve and was using the only card he had.
just had to trust that Edward recover composure and could bring this to fruition. Apparently, the roar
Edward had served to calm the atmosphere and only heard a faint moaning and rustling of Edward ordered Renee push hard.
Finally some sanity! Everything would be fine.
"Carlisle", Edward's soft voice took me out of my thoughts, "Something is not right" This time it sounded really worried and I shuddered.
- What is it? "Asked worried.
" has left the head but is stuck and it is turning blue, " beginning to be really scared but began to control the situation. I furrowed
ceñoy started thinking.
-Edward-and I meant what was happening, the umbilical cord may become entangled in the baby's neck. What you have to do is reach in and find your neck, then pull cordóny unravel the head. And all over.
hysteria turned to empower him.
"Do you mean to put my hand into the intima of a married woman on top? ", was shocked," Hey I'm a gentleman and not do those things, "
" course you all a gentleman when you want, I thought desperately.
my fury The dam broke into a thousand pieces:
- Edward Anthony Cullen, "he roared with fury Do please stop being so squeamish and concentrate on what you have to do! The life of a person is in your hands, Damn! "What I had bound to say.
I heard him give a slight groan and soon I heard a cry of pain Renee. He sensed that the end was near. Then I spotted the house
brake the car snapped and went running to the front porch.
- Come on Renee, "I heard Edward contact Renee-The last empujóny this end!
I heard a cry almost dying I rumble in my ears and shout very exalted Edward.
- There!, It is!, Already is, "is euphoric laugh-it's all over Renee!
was formed ... that silence was broken by a loud cry that could only come from a small creature, and was followed by very quiet sobs and some laughs with relief.
felt like something was expanding in my chest.
When I entered the house and went to the room of marriage, I found Edward on her knees, laughing with relief, holding in her arms a little red and wrinkled creature, who wailed and clung to Edward T as beings living clung to sunlight. I looked at the bed and found a woman should not spend twenty years very beautiful, "according to human standards, he was completely pale and did not know if mourn or laugh. Renee should be addressed.
The euphoria was so contagious that I could not help joining my laughs with them.
As Edward had already cut cordóny had been responsible for cleaning the baby, my only job was to see the health of the mother. I examined and found in perfect condition.
" Good job, Edward , I thought proudly. It seemed that I heard. Renee
held my hand and whispered: "Thank
.
gently stroked her hair and shook my contact with cold.
-Give it to him, "I said to Edward as he removed his shirt, black shabby from Guns and roses, and hid the child with her.
- What happened? "Asked curious.
With the excitement I had forgotten the sex of the child. "Hey dad
first-Edward-joke with me and I heard a grunt" Look to see the baby's sex. Edward
get up a little and hit an upturned shirt. Then put frightened face.
-Carlisle ... "his voice shook this baby is missing something. Renee
began to moan and I shuddered and walked over to them.
Lift the shirt and, by reflex action, unleashing a campion Edward.
"Idiot , reproach him mentally.
"I was going to know-it-all are defended equal at birth.
I ignored and went to Renee with a dazzling smile and announced: "Mrs. Swan
, just be you the mother of a child. Renee
began to mourn with emotion.
hear the sound of ambulances, but it seemed that Edward was elsewhere.
put in his chest while the child and cradled softly sang a lullaby. The light in her eyes was incredibly smooth and for a moment I was given an air of another person. That made me sad. Would have been very proud of him. Ambulances were
noise hell and there was a swirl of medical personnel, but in that room could only hear the sound of the voice of Edward and his nana.
~ * ~
I helped carry the stretcher were Renee and little to the ambulance, while Edward sat on the porch, looked absently.
When was the ambulance to the hospital, Edward I approached very slowly and stayed a while in silence.
- You're not going to go see it or ask his name? "I asked, breaking the silence.
"No," replied tersely.
And before you ask the question I answered
I do not want her to mix with dark creatures like me. He deserves a life normal. whispered with a hint of sadness.
gave up saying anything, I decided to change the subject.
- What's the vampire that was Renee? "I was worried about that topic. Really it was just a vendetta against Charles Swan, or was something else?
"It was very strange. I could not see his face, just know it was pequeñoy though it was fast, I caught him quickly. I was stronger than I took Renee Ely, but I was suddenly back on the floor in pain He grimaced a little but that should not happen, that they saw or heard to another and ran no more, leaving me with women.
I shivered slightly at the thought that there might be another vampire in Forks. What were they would be looking for?
"Strange, Carlisle, Edward interrupted my thoughts, but this vampire has followed a pattern very different from the rest. If it was revenge or just a hunt, had killed Charlie and Renee in the house and not have risked so much. "Maybe
did not want to hunt, take them-is me cruzó un nombre por la mente y me estremecí, mientras Edward me miró estupefacto-Y a lo mejor no era a Renee a quien se quería llevar-sentencié. Entonces, I had a strange feeling. And I trembled as he looked at Edward significantly. Edward
heaving breath and shook his head to remove it:
"No, Carlisle. I have not heard anything "I thought I heard my mental sigh of relief. But I countered "But it means that he has not had something to do. Remember, years ago I ceased to have an open mind with him. Anyway, the affairs of the Swan does not matter to us, "replied dryly Within a month we will move to Denali and we will not hear from them.
I did not think anything but expected the creature who had wanted to take Renee or girl, not one of those sent by Him That would also seek to Edward.
- Are we going? "I said after a while in tense silence.
- Okay, happy and smiled mischievously said, I ride, Daddy.
sighed and gave him the keys. That night she had deserved.
We were moving toward the car, when Edward suddenly stopped dead and stiffened. And I with him. Expected to take off the bad hunch I had. If Edward had heard anything, the years used to control your mind and learn to close in order to survive and become independent of their own destiny maldicióny would have been like pouring water droplets on a glass.
I heard him growl softly, I turned and gave a slight gasp when I saw sitting on the roof, a small figure in black who looked at us with red eyes filled with hate.
And as quickly as it appeared, he disappeared again.
Edward returned to normal and got in the car.
Breathing heavily, but in the end I was relieved that this vampire is not the same as the one who killed Elizabeth Masen ... And Edward was joined by his mind and something more sinister ...
