I Believe- Carlisle Cullen Twilight fanfic

Acceptance and Headaches

Carlisle P.O.V.

No one had answered the home phone and I realized that, as she had only just left the hospital premises, she probably wouldn't be home anytime soon. So I waited.

For some strange reason, the hour seemed to go by tortuously slow for someone that's been alive for three hundred plus years.

Regardless, I finally dialed her number and waited.

"Hello?" The sweet voice on the other side asked.

I regained my composure and then asked, "Is this Davina Michaelson?"

There was a bit of a pause on her end. I could hear her scrapping back her chair and muttering, "I'll be back in a minute." to someone who grunted.

"Yes, this is she." She answered.

Hmm, proper grammar. What else was this young girl going to surprise me with?

"This is Dr. Cullen from the hospital regarding your internship."

"Ah." She said and I could hear the distaste start to seep into her voice.

I quickly replied, "I reviewed it and realized all of the questions on this sheet are ridiculous. I had no idea what the form consisted of. If you could please come in on your next available day to sign and fill out a new sheet that will be more towards the actual medical part of the field."

"Will I have to know my blood type?" She asked.

"No, it's unnecessary." I replied.

She snorted on the other side of the phone and then said, "Is there anything I should know?"

"Basic anatomy." I answered, wondering if she truly could name every bone in the body.

"I'll be in tomorrow then." She replied.

"I look forward to meeting you." I replied before letting the phone click.

There was a knock at the door. "Come in." I called.

Alice danced through the door, Jasper following her. I was just slightly surprised and said, "What can I do for you two?"

Alice was buzzing with excitement, per usual, making Jasper looking excited as well. "We met your soulmate at school today."

That perked my interest, "Did you really?"

"Yes." Jasper said which confirmed everything I needed to know.

"What's she like?" I asked curiously. The idea of having a soulmate after three hundred years was exhilarating and also frightening at the same time, though I'd never admit it. Jasper could probably feel it though.

"She's very different." Jasper answered with just the slightest frown.

"Not like anyone I've ever met before." Alice replied which sent my hopes up. "And, she'll be interning under you!"

"What's her name?" I asked carefully.

"Davina Michaelson." Alice replied.

Davina P.O.V.

Dr. Cullen let me hang up on him and I headed back into the house.

"So?" Sam asked with a raised eyebrow.

"That was Dr. Cullen. He's discarding the internship papers. He wants me to come in for a sort of test on my anatomical knowledge tomorrow." I said, a bit of excitement slipping into my tone.

"Oh." Sam said, but it sounded more like a question.

"I hope I do good on it." I fretted and then smiled. "Anyways, I should head back home. I'd hate to keep intruding on the two of you. I'm sure you have. . . things you want to do."
