High School for the Cullens

Carlisle Goes to Work

Carlisle POV

We just moved to Boston, where there would be plenty of cloud cover for the next few years (one of the plus sides of global warming) and a national park nearby for food. We were in our new home that my dear Esme had happily decorated. I checked the clock and noticed that it was almost seven. I kissed my Esme goodbye, got into the black Mercedes, and headed to the hospital for work.

The parking lot was already full, and I was about to go park in the back when I saw a spot with a huge sign saying "DR. C. CULLEN". Thank you…um, whoever's responsible! I pulled the car into the spot, grabbed my briefcase, some boxes, and got out. I walked through the automatic doors and stopped at the front desk.

A lady who looked to be in her mid-thirties with dyed carrot orange hair was clacking away at the keyboard while half-listening to the elderly man clutching his heart and wheezing.

"I'm sorry, Mr....." she checked the paper, "…Garner, but you'll have to wait before we can treat your little problem."

I briefly glanced at her name-tag as I said, "Miss Walker, he's having a heart attack. That is most certainly not a little problem, and I recommend you treat him right now."

She looked up with an annoyed face before she spotted me. She patted her hair as she said, "I'm sorry, Dr. Cullen, I suppose I should." She clicked a button on the desk. "We have a priority one patient with a heart attack at the front desk, we need assistance."

Ten seconds later, a middle-aged doctor and a middle-aged nurse ran in with a cot. They spared me a glance as they helped Mr. Garner onto the cot. "Dr. Cullen, welcome, I hope we meet again later," the doctor called as they hurried the patient into the treatment room. The nurse barely nodded as she concentrated on the patient. At least they seemed to have sense to treat the patient immediately and be more immune to my vampire characteristics than most other humans. I had a feeling we'd get along well.

Miss Walker coughed loudly. "So, Dr. Cullen, anything I can get you?"

I inwardly grimaced at the double meaning. "No, I just need to know where my office is going to be." I subtly shifted my left hand that was helping support the boxes (though I only needed a finger, really) so she could see my gold wedding ring.

She faltered slightly but recovered. Oh, what I would give for Edward and his power right now. "Your office is down the far corridor there, at the end on the right. Sorry about the inconvenience, but it was the only office suitable for you available."

"No problems at all, thank you," I said as I headed to my office. Joy, I hadn't even started my job and there was already someone fawning over me. I should bring more pictures of Esme tomorrow…

Very first fanfic, so I'm very nervous, just tell me what I need to do to improve, please! And I'm doing Emmett's POV next, but you can submit who you want me to do next in the Cullen family, and some ideas. Including Emmett ideas, I'm not done with his chapter yet! So in other words, please review!
