It had been a week since Emmett’s fight. He was still in a coma, but it was now medically induced. His brain had swelled. The doctors sedated him, saying that the rest would be the best medicine. His cognitive functions were still intact when they did daily neuro checks, which put everyone’s mind at ease.
His fighting career, it would seem, was now over.
He had a long recovery in front of him and brain injuries were tricky. Rose was terrified that this injury would take away her monkey man. Would his personality change? Would he remember her? The baby?
On top of that, Volterra was found to be not responsible for what James did. He acted of his own accord, wanting to bring down Bull Dog Fighting Club. James, who had been released on bond, was spewing lies that Emmett used performance enhancing drugs and beat his wife. Jasper and Alice attacked these lies with press conferences. Years of Emmett’s medical history was released with Rose’s blessing. Charlie also invited the governing body to check out Bull Dog’s facilities.
Sitting in the waiting room, Bella read a book and snuggled against Edward’s side. He was working with Alice to help prove Emmett’s innocence, having just come back from filming a PSA about PEDs and training the right way, through grit and hard work.
Charlie walked out from ICU, sitting down across from his daughter and Edward. He’d noticed how much they adored each other. Bella had a serenity and confidence she’d never had with that asshole, Jacob Black. Edward raised her up, made her a priority, where Jacob used her and nearly sucked her dry.
