Bella
remained asleep the whole day and until Carlisle came to check on her. He
looked like hell. “Nice clothes, Masen,” Carlisle quipped.
“Thanks
for letting me borrow them,” Edward snorted. “You look like shit.”
“I
feel like shit,” he laughed. “Is she still medicated?”
“No,”
Edward said. “The sedatives were removed early this morning, along with the
blood thinner. She’s just sleeping.”
“She’ll
probably stay asleep until tomorrow. Come on, let’s get you home,” Carlisle
said. “I’m spent and off for the rest of the week. My boss took pity on me.”
“Seeing
as you look like something the cat dragged in, then yes, it makes sense,”
Edward snickered.
“You
don’t look much better,” Carlisle said, arching a brow. “You look more alive
than yesterday, but still bushed.” He checked Bella’s vitals and seemed
pleased. “Now, my wife is making a feast. I want to go home, shower, meet my
new foster son and crash. You’re driving me home.”
“Can
I get a few moments with her?” Edward asked, kissing Bella’s knuckles. Carlisle
nodded, squeezing Edward’s shoulder and leaving him in the ICU room. “Gorgeous,
hopefully tomorrow I’ll be able to see your eyes. Your dad is on his way. He
texted me an hour ago. He landed in Boise. He’s staying there overnight with my
parents and he’ll be here tomorrow.” He caressed her cheek and wished that her
mouth was free of the breathing tube. “I love you.” Her fingers squeezed his
hand. He smiled, kissing her forehead. “I’ll see you tomorrow, love.” Her
fingers squeezed his hand again. “I don’t want to leave, either, baby.” With a
sigh, he left the room, meeting up with Carlisle near the nursing station. They
left the hospital and Edward drove them back to the house.
Jake
bounced out of the front door, hugging Edward’s legs. He smiled happily at the
little boy as he prattled on about how Mama Esme bought him new clothes, new
toys and decorated his room. Edward was dragged up to the second level and Jake
showed Edward his stuff, but he clung to a stuffed wolf. He prattled on about
his day, excited to share with someone who knew his past, about his future.
Edward listened intently, happy for him.
