As Bella lays in the hospital bed waiting for a doctor to come make sure she didn't have a concussion, she started getting worried. She hoped against hope Carlisle wouldn't find out she was here and come and check up on her. She knew she would be in enough trouble as it was with Charlie, she did not need to add the Cullen's to the list of people who she would have to answer to. That includes Edward

Her worst fears were recognized when she heard Carlisle's voice. "I have it from here Kathy." Uh oh, he did not sound happy at all.

"So Bella, what brings you in here today?" Carlisle asked, in a suspiciously calm voice. She knew for a fact that why she came in here was on her chart that he was reading right now.

She decided to try make it seem it wasn't as bad as it seemed, hoping against hope that he would be ok with her explanation. "uhm, well you see, I was out with Jacob hanging out, and we well, we decided to ride our motorcycles. And my motorcycle started wobbling and going out of control, and I sort of slid onto the grass. Honestly though I am fine just a few bruises and a bit embarrassed." She made a slight grimace, hoping he would believe her.

"hmm, I see. Look here." He says as he holds up a finger and shines a light in her eyes not looking like he believed her at all. "Well other than a few cuts and scrapes, it looks like you were lucky this time. But you will be in pain for while." He says making her wonder if he was just talking about the cuts and scrapes. Oh how she wished he was. "I took the liberty of calling Charlie. He should be here any minute. You can go when he gets here."

Blushing in embarrassment and shame she nods her head, wondering how long she would have to wait until she has to face Charlie and her grounding. She didn't have long to wait however, because in walks Charlie as soon as she had that thought. Uh oh, he does not look happy. Oh how she wished Jacob was here to help take some of the blame off of her, but he went home as soon as she got here as his dad some how knew what had happened and called to tell him to get home as soon as possible. She wished she had insisted he stay here with her but she told him to just go, that she was ok.

Charlie glares in her direction as he walks in and she can't help but look away. "What were you thinking getting on that dangerous thing, knowing how clumsy you are."

"Sorry Dad, I didn't think it was going to be that big a deal. I had it under control.."

"This is what you call under control? You in a hospital bed? Hurt?" Charlie all but screamed.

"Well I was going to talk to you later at dinner, but now seems appropriate. I have to leave town for a little while. You can't be trusted not to do something stupid, so you will be going to Jacksonville with you mom." Charlie states, shaking his head.

Bella gasps, instantly ready to defend herself when Carlisle spoke up, stopping her argument. "Charlie, Esme and I would be happy to take in Bella while you are away. She would be safe with us. That way Bella won't have to miss any school if your trip takes longer than expected." Carlisle says reassuringly.

"Well, uh, I wouldn't want to put you all out Carlisle." Charlie says.

"Oh, it would be no problem at all Charlie. It would be our pleasure. Bella is always welcome at our house. And you need not worry, we have a spare bedroom that Bella can use while she stays with us." Carlisle says, looking over meaningfully at Bella. Bella looks away, wondering what that look meant.

Charlie thinks it over for a moment. "Ok then, if you don't mind. It would bring peace of mind to me. Bella's mom was going to go out of town this weekend. I didn't want to have to call her, but I couldn't trust her with Billy Black due to the fact that she was with Jacob when she pulled this stupid stunt." Charlie says, glaring slightly at Bella.

Bella looks away, deep in thought. She would get to spend a few weeks with Edward. She tried, but failed at keeping a grin on her face. She was already planning what they would do. "Well, I really need to leave tonight, but I can leave this weekend. I know how last minute this all is." Charlie says, interrupting Bella's thoughts.

"Go today Charlie, we have Bella. I will have Edward head to your house and help Bella pack. We will keep an eye on the house while you are away as well, so no need to worry." Carlisle says, ready to get his plan underway.

Oh Bella, I know what you are thinking this is going to be a fun few weeks but how wrong you are sweetheart. Just you wait until I finish my shift tonight. Carlisle thinks to himself.

"Ok, well come on Bella you have a lot of packing to do and I have a plan to catch." Charlie says.

Bella gets up, thanks Carlisle for his help and making sure she was ok and leaves with Charlie. She is ready to go pack and get ready to go to Edwards house.

"So, um, where do you have to go Dad? Is it going to take long?" Bella asks, trying to find out how long she will have with Edward.

"I was asked to help out with the New York Police Department on a case that we had that was similar to one we had. They think it might be connected. I hope it will be easy to solve but I have a feeling I will be there for a while." Charlie sighs, he really loves being a Cop and especially loves being Chief of Police here in forks, but its times like this that makes him think about retiring soon. He hates that he has to leave Bella for so long, especially since he just got her back, but he knows he has to go and he can't just leave one of his deputies to go. He wants this sicko caught and fast.

"Bella, I want you to know that I will call all the time and I am only a plane ride away if you need me for anything." Charlie says, worried. Although he trusts Dr. Cullen completely, he don't really trust Edward too much and he worries.

"I'll be fine Dad, you go and don't work too hard. Catch the guy doing this. Carlisle and Esme will make sure I have everything I need. And um Dad, I really am sorry about today. I didn't mean to make you worry. Trust me I won't be doing that again anytime soon. I know I got lucky not to be more hurt than I am." Bella says.

As they pull up to the drive way, they seen Edward waiting on the porch for them. They get out of the car and before Bella can run and hug Edward, Charlie calls Bella over. "Um, Bella? I hate doing this but I really have to go now if I'm going to make my plane. You take care and I will call you when I get to the airport. I love you kiddo." Charlie says, hugging Bella tight.

"Ok dad, love you too. Be safe." Bella says. She waves to Charlie as he drives away. Edward rushes over to her, having heard what had happened earlier. He wanted to wait until Charlie got to say goodbye to Bella before he confronted her. "What were you thinking? You could have been seriously hurt."

"Edward relax I am fine, Carlisle looked me over and told me I was fine. Lets go upstairs, we have the place to ourselves for a little while. I am sure no one will miss us. I just want to hang out with you for a little before we go to your place." Bella says, trying to lighten Edwards mood.
"Sorry love, we can't I already packed your bags while I waited for you and Charlie to get home. Carlisle finished his shift and expects us back soon. He wants to talk to you, and the way he sounded you do not want to keep him waiting." Edward says, shaking his head slightly. He leads Bella to his car and helps her in before getting in the drivers seat and driving off.
Bella cant help but feel really worried now. What could Carlisle possible want to talk to her about? And why was Edward acting so weird? Bella has a really bad feeling about this "mini vacation" now. She just hopes her fears don't come true.
