The Other Twin

14

Rory's POV - 
We get to the hospital disappointingly quickly. The cruiser is in the parking lot, which means Dad's already here. I hesitate before leaving the safe confines of the Volvo. No one asking how I feel. Letting out a deep breath, I open the door and step out of the car. Edward gets out too. I start walking towards the entrance, and I see Edward follow slowly behind me, as if deciding whether or not to follow. Seeming to decide to follow, he jogged to catch me up. Walking into the building, I could see Edward stiffen next to me.
"You okay?"
"Yes. Just the hospital smell. I should be asking you that question. It's your sister who got hit by a car."
"She'll be fine." We walk over to the reception area, and the lady sitting behind the screen saw Edward.
"Hey. How can I help you?"
"We're looking for Isabella Swan. She was admitted in an ambulance after a car accident," he said, with that smooth voice. She seemed somewhat enchanted by him, like everyone else he spoke to, before replying, "She is in ER currently. You can see her in a bit." We sat on some of the cushioned chairs, next to Charlie. He looked like he couldn't quite believe what had happened, other than putting an arm around my shoulder. Gradually, more and more of the school's population arrived in the waiting area, until almost our entire year was here. Except the Cullens. Obviously Edward was still here, but other than that none of them were here. Adrienne had sent me a text, asking me if she wanted me there, but I told her I was fine. I was. But I would definitely be somewhere else.

After 15 minutes of waiting, a blond doctor came out and saw us sitting there. He came towards us, and Charlie seemed to recognise him, as he suddenly sat up .
"Mr Swan, your daughter is in room 206. She will be fine. If you and your son would like to follow me and I will explain more about her condition when we're there, so Miss Swan will also know."
"Thank you, Dr Cullen." We got up and started walking with Dr Cullen. A boy, Mike I believe is name was, came up and asked about Isabella. The doctor reassured her that she was fine, but it was currently only family to visit. He looked like he was about to complain the Edward was going, but thought better of it. Once we'd continued, Edward and I fell back, and I asked him, "Dr Cullen?"
"Yes. That's Carlisle. Surely Adrienne told you he was a doctor."
"She mentioned it in her short rant about being kept at home. But you didn't tell me he worked here. And you could've told me he was the doctor when he was walking towards us."
"Could've. But didn't."
"Why did he have to be my sister's doctor? Now she's going to think it was written in the stars, your relationship."
"Yes. We're real life Romeo and Juliet." We both roll our eyes and laugh.
"Also, I have watched enough Grey's Anatomy to know that due to his attractiveness, there is definitely at least one Nurse lusting over him. And maybe an intern, but I don't know if they have these here."
"Nurses have tried to flirt with him. He has told stories of, how did you say, 'lusting nurses', but he only has eyes for his wife."
"If this was Grey's Anatomy, there would definitely be marital problems, and probably an affair."
"Yes, well, as someone who has been forced to listen to all the seasons of that show, due to my siblings not having the courtesy to shut the doors of their soundproofed bedrooms, this is certainly no Seattle Grace. I am 99% sure their marriage is safe. But Greg from radiology had an affair with Nurse Jemma. Because his wife was always asleep when he got home."
"Has anyone cut an LVAD wire to steal a heart?"
"Fortunately not. That didn't turn out too well for Izzie."
"Are you sure you didn't enjoy this show?"
"Shut up," he says lightly shoving me. I hear a light chuckle from up ahead, but it definitely wasn't my dad.

We got to the room 206, Bella squealed, "Eddie! You came! I knew you liked me!"
"I didn't come for you. And it's still Edward." Dr Cullen explained that Isabella had badly broken her arm, but it would heal completely. She also had a cut that had stitches in it on her for head and a few large buruises on her chest that may hurt for a few days, but there was no major damage there. They were keeping her for at least another few hours, to fix the arm and keep an eye on the head and chest injuries, to make sure they hadn't missed anything. On his way out, he shook my hand saying, "I'm Carlisle. Edward's father, as I'm sure you already know. You must be Rory Swan. My children have told me a lot about you." He looked to Charlie, nodded and left. Soon after I left too, knowing I'd be in for it when she got home. But it's fine. It doesn't happen often. Plus I got to spend time with Edward, and see my baby sister's face when he rejected her. Life is mostly good.
