Eye Candy - chapter 269 - Tense

Emmett and I are ushered out of the room once the nurse is done explaining. He looks as scared as I feel.

The nurse had assured us everything would be fine, but that's his wife and unborn children in there – and my sister.

Edward hurries over to us, and after quick, whispered words, he hugs first Emmett, then me.

"She'll be okay," he assures as we take a seat again. He reaches for Emmett's hand, squeezing it. "They'll all be okay, Em."

Emmett nods, swallowing.

We settle in for the wait, looking up whenever a nurse or doctor walks by.
