Bad News (Carlisle, open)

[Naomi Fox]

Naomi was asleep when they were called by Dr. Cullen to come into the hospital. Her father woke her up and got his kids ready to go to the hospital. She wasn't looking forward to this. She just wanted to sleep in. By the time they got to the hospital, it was 10 o'clock. Though, the rain outside created a dark and dreary mood. The family entered the hospital's waiting room. Naomi's dad went to notify the receptionist and then sat by his daughters. Naomi yawned. The girl wanted to go back to sleep. The medicine she was administered the day before had worked and since, she has been able to keep food and fluids down. She felt okay at the moment. Her stomach growled though. They hadn't had breakfast yet.

Ralph went over to the vending machine and got a bag of poptarts for the girls to share. As the girls ate, he sat there nervously. He knew the news wasn't good. He watched the clock ticking away as he waited for them to be called back.

[Carlisle Cullen]

Carlisle had arrived at the hospital moments before. He had called the family in so he could give them the bad news. This was not something he liked to do, especially with news he had recieved because a child was involved. No matter how long a doctor is a doctor, they never get used to seeing children suffer like this. But he would use this time to discuss the girl's options. His job was to save lives and he wanted nothing more than to save her life.

Carlisle opened the door to the waiting room and saw the family there. He smiled slightly, trying to keep them calm."You guys can come on back." Carlisle said softly. He watched the family, saddened. How could a girl who seemed so alive be so sick? He led the family to an exam room. He thought about admitting the girl in the hospital, but that was something he wanted her father's opinion on.
