The Cullen house was immersed in a deep silence. After the battle against the newborns, the team of wolves and vampires had dispersed, but Carlisle stayed to tend to Damian Black, Jacob's little Baby Brother . One of the creatures had managed to hit his Side, leaving him with several fractured ribs. Now, Damian rested on one of the sofas in the spacious living room of the Cullen house.

Carlisle, with his usual calm and precision, was at Damian's side, assessing Damian's injuries with his gentle, sure touch. Alice watched from the doorway, ready to assist if necessary, while Jacob hovered restlessly nearby, unable to hide his concern. Despite his discomfort at being in vampire territory, his concern for Damian.kept him in place.

Carlisle disinfected the areas around the bruises and, with precise movements, began wrapping Damian's torso with an elastic bandage to stabilize his. Ribs. His touch was firm but careful, making sure not to cause him any more pain than necessary.

“Your Ribs Damian...will heal quickly, but the pain will be intense for a few hours,” Carlisle explained in his calm voice. “I want you Damian..to avoid sudden movements so as not to aggravate the fractures.”

Jacob listened to him in silence, watching Carlisle’s every move cautiously, though he seemed relieved to see the care with which Carlisle treated his Little Baby Brother

Finishing applying the bandage, Carlisle gave Damian.a reassuring look before speaking again “I’m going to leave Damian on some mild painkiller's and Shot's.... It should be completely healed in a couple of days, but until then, just rest.”
