This has been a random relationship that's been running through my head for a while. Carlisle is a little out of character, but I hope you enjoy it anyway. From Carlisle's point of view:

Routine. That's the only thing that kept me going throughout the day until I could be at home again with my Leah. I went to work. Made mindless chatter with my co-workers. I drove to the kids' house. Spent time with Renesmee. I helped her with her homework. She sat next to me during dinner, telling me about how nursing school was going. She took my hand, and my heart felt calm for still for once, only my Leah seemed to have that effect on me now. I wish I could be home with her already. My heart ached as I looked at my granddaughter.

"Thank you for helping me with my homework, Grandpa." Renesmee smiled up at me as we walked to the front door of the kids' house.

"You're welcome, sweetie." I leaned forward and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Goodnight, Grandpa," she said, hugging my waist.

"Goodnight." I gave her a gentle squeeze.

I walked home at a slow, human pace; I lived on my own now. It was easier ever since I lost Esme. By the time I got home and unlocked the door, I found the kitchen light one. A sent of blood filled the air, causing me to move at my lighting speed. Terror filled me as I realized that I smelled Leah's blood. A stream of curses came from Leah's lips as she sewed up a large cut in her arm.

"Leah," I growled out. I took the tools from her and started to close her skin up. "What happened this time?"

"Rouge vampire," she huffed. "Took him on my own."

I gritted my teeth together, knowing she wouldn't listen to any protests I had; I hated it when she went hunting on her own. Images of the last vampire I took down ran through my mind; him tearing Esme in half as he threw her into the fire. "You're lucky he didn't bite you." I pushed those old thoughts out of my mind.

"I know, not that he didn't try." Leah's voice sound smug.

I looked into her dark, chocolate eyes, feeling the same pull that I had for her over the last few months. She smiled at me, making my throat tighten. I finished sewing up her wound without looking away from her beautiful face.

"You're staring again," Leah said smugly.

"Couldn't help it." I gave her a smile before cleaning and putting away my tools.

"How was your day?" Leah asked. I put away my last tool and looked up at her.

"Slow. I was missing you," I blurted out.

"Were you now?" She gave me her beautiful smile. "I have to admit, I missed you too."

Without thinking, I took her in my arms. It was one of the few times that I had, and peace flowed through me. Closing my eyes, I rested my forehead against hers while my left arm snaked around her waist, drawing her close to me. My right hand cupped her cheek; my thumb caressed the smooth texture of her beautiful face.

"Leah," I breathed out. I heard Leah swallow as she pulled away.

I opened my eyes when she said, "Please, Carlisle. Please don't if you're just going to …" She bit her lip.

"If I'm going to?" I asked. She was out of my reach now, my hands felt cold again.

"Please don't …" Her face saddened. "Please don't lead me on."

My eyebrows furrowed. "Leah." I reached out for her again and pulled her in my arms. "I'll never lead you on."

"Does that mean you're," she said, voice dropping to a whisper, "ready?"

I knew looking into her eyes that I was; everything clicked in that moment. I was ready to make Leah mine and, I think, to move on. Without saying anything, I dipped her my head and gave her a slow kiss, pouring every emotion I had into it. Leah moaned, wrapping her arms around my neck, making our kisses deepen. I was ready now. I led her upstairs, never breaking our kisses. Many hours later, I held Leah's warm body close to mine. I pulled her closer as she rested her head on my bare chest just so I could feel every inch of her skin against my own.

"Hmmm," Leah said groggily. "Carlisle."

"I'm here, my love."

Leah lifted her head and rested her chin on my chest. "It's good to hear you call me that."

"You are. My love." I kissed her nose.

She smiled at me, her hand tracing patterns on my chest. "I can't tell you how glad I am that you're my imprint."

She smiled at me. "I am too."

"You know," she said, leaning on her elbow, leaving her hand on my chest. "I never thought I'd hear you say that."

"It was a long time coming." I smiled sadly at her, running my hands over her bare arms.

Leah nodded. "I'd have to agree with you there, but I'd have to say after finding out how good you are in bed, it was worth the wait."

I laughed, almost shocked by the sound; it wasn't something I did often anymore, but now I had a reason to. "Will you move in with me?" I blurted out.

"Really?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. "Is that a little fast."

"I just made love to you repeated times, Leah," I said. "You have no idea how fast that is for me."

"That's true." She smiled at me, her beautiful eyes swimming with happiness. "And you've been my imprint for longer, and I've been in love with you for a while."

"You have?" I asked surprised.

"Ever since we started to become friends," she whispered.

"Oh, Leah," I said. "And I've been pinning over Esme during most of that time."

"You were." Leah's eyes filled with unhappiness.

"That isn't fair for you. Esme's been gone for ten years now." Saying that now didn't hurt as bad as it had in the past.

She sighed. "I didn't want to share you with her memory," Leah said, looking guilty. "I shared Sam with Emily in my mind, and I didn't want to do the same with my imprint."

"And you deserve better than that." I caressed her face with my hand.

"Darn right I do." I laughed before she grew serious. "I'll move in with you."

"Oh, Leah." I sat up and kissed her firmly. "Oh, my darling."

Turning us over, I kissed Leah again. Over the next few weeks and months had been the happiest I'd ever had. Leah brought me out of my depression, and I started to do things with my kids and Renesmee more often.

"So, are you going to tell us what's going on?" Edward asked one evening on our hunt with my sons.

"Like you don't already know," I muttered. I couldn't keep my thoughts off of Leah, and I had to catch myself thinking of our intimate evenings together when I was around him. Edward flinched and shot me a dirty look.

"It isn't my secret to tell," he said dryly.

I don't want you to think I've forgotten your mother, I thought sadly.

Edward sighed as we both stopped running. My other sons stopped as well, just within ear shot. They slowly walked toward me as I gathered my thoughts.

"What's going on, pops?" Emmett asked.

"Leah's moved in with me," I said as I prepared myself for the protests of my sons.

"We know, Dad," Emmett said after a few moments.

"You know?" I said slowly.

"Her sent is all over you, Carlisle," Jasper said. "And you've been putting off lust and love. I haven't seen you feel this way since Esme passed."

Guilt flooded me. "I didn't mean to feel you guilty, Carlisle," Jasper said. "Esme would want you to move on, and we can all see the change that Leah has caused in you for the better."

"You have to know we'd support you in this," Edward added.

"Thank you. I'm love with her," I admitted.

"So when do we get to meet her as your girlfriend?" Emmett raised an eyebrow at me.

I laughed, feeling grateful for their acceptance of my new relationship. "I'll talk to her about it and bring her over tonight or tomorrow."

Desire rushed through me to see Leah again, causing Edward to roll his eyes and Jasper sighed. "Really, Carlisle?" Jasper asked.

"Sorry," I said sheepishly. "I've had to put up with all of your behavior with your mates."

Emmett snorted. "But we never had to worry about this with our dad though."

I smiled sheepishly, but didn't argue with him. An hour later, I walked into our house, where Leah's scent filled the air. Using my sense of smell, I found her laying in our bed upstairs. I gazed down at her, knowing that I was totally in love with her. She sighed in her sleep, and the hand that was curled under her chin moved slightly, revealing what she held. My stomach plummeted. She held a positive pregnancy test.

So, I hope you enjoyed, and I'm planning on keeping this short, so there will be one more chapter to follow.
