Sam's sister

Chapter 33

NoPoV

When Sahra and Alice got home, Rosalie was the first to walk over. Before she could ask anything, Alice warned her not to, immediately telling the others that no one was to speak with Sahra until after the meeting. Bella tried to ask why but Edward stopped her telling her that he would explain later. Alice took Sahra to her room and left.

Sahra sat on the bed as she tried to think of what happened to make Carlisle angry with her. Let's see, when I slept on the couch, the baby kicked again, Carlisle came to help me, He told me to stay home, I tried to compromise, he refused and got angry with me. Somehow this reminded me of when Sam and I fought about me taking part in the fight against Victoria. Sam told me later that he just wanted to keep me safe as he couldn't bear it if I got hurt again after the incident in Egypt. Could Carlisle have the same reason? Is it just to keep us safe? but then... why did he get so angry? I don't understand that. I should apologize though, I was just the same when I went to Volterra. I wanted to keep him safe so bad that I actually lied to him. Somehow I'm happy that he doesn't lie. So I will apologize for trying to defy him, and I should listen to him.

Satisfied with having thought up what happened and what to do about it, Sahra fell asleep. Edward had followed her thoughts and was glad that Sahra was smart enough to realize why Carlisle acted the way he did. Now Carlisle will only have to be calm enough to listen to her. Speak of the devil and he shall appear, Carlisle just arrived. Everyone was acting a bit submissive since Jasper sensed that Carlisle was still feeling angry though according to his thoughts, he had calmed somewhat. Carlisle came inside and one could sense the authority in his stance. "Dining room, now." He said with a low growl. Everyone walked to their seats and sat down, when Carlisle sat.

"I called for this meeting to inform you that Sahira will be staying home at least until the baby is born. I want someone to watch over her, since she gets hurt each time the baby kicks. It happened twice today. The second time she had an internal bleeding. My plans will have to wait until after the birth. What I want from you is a schedule on who will watch her when I'm not able to do so myself due to hunting or other things. I will be taking time off from the human world as a doctor to take care of Sahra. Does any of you have any questions?" He asked. They all shook their heads no.

"Good, I'll go see to my mate then. This meeting is over." Carlisle left to go upstairs.

SahraPoV

I couldn't really hear what was being said, but I only heard Carlisle talking. He sounded very firm. I heard chairs being pushed back and I sat on my knees on the floor right in front of the bed with my head down and my hair swept aside to show my mating mark. I heard Carlisle coming upstairs and he opened the door. I tried to relax but I couldn't. "Carlisle, I-" I tried to apologize but he stopped me from talking.

"Sahira, you will only speak when I give you permission, until I have explained your punishment. Do you understand? You may answer." He said.

"I understand." I decided short answers were the best for now.

"Good, do you understand what you did wrong at the hospital? Answer me."

"I think I do. I tried to go against you, when you only ordered me to stay home because of my own safety and health and that of our baby. I do wish to apologize for acting the way I did. I realize that it was wrong of me and I hope that you can forgive me for this sometime, even if you can't right now." I answered him quietly, not looking him in the eyes.

"You are right, I can't forgive you for this yet. However, I will lessen the punishment, since you were able to realize what you did wrong on your own. Sahira, you will be watched over during the remaining time of your pregnancy, most of the time by me and sometimes by the others, but I will allow you going out once in a while, as long as you tell me where you are going and you take someone with you." He told me. It did sound reasonable, but I didn't really want to make anyone watch me like a babysitter.
