Thanks Jules Ann for the help!
Chapter 1: Carlisle's POV
Beep, beep, beep.
I groaned. It can't be that time already. It felt like I had just fallen asleep. I wasn't ready to get up yet.
Without wanting to, my hand went to the alarm clock and pushed snooze. A few more minutes of sleep wouldn't hurt. Just as I closed my eyes though, I heard soft footsteps enter my room.
I opened one eye and I saw my youngest and only daughter looking at me. Her hair was in a messy pony tail from sleep and she had her old teddy bear in her arms. She was wearing her favorite pajamas. It had frozen characters of Anna and Elsa.
"Hi Baby girl. Come here." I said.
Chloe quickly climbed into bed with me and snuggled up. We did this every morning.
I snuggled with her for a few minutes. Listening to her soft breathing. Making sure she was asleep, I quietly got out of bed. I needed to get ready for work. I won't get Chloe up till about 7:45. Carmen will be her soon to start Chloe's lessons. Chloe was homeschooled.
I got out of bed and grabbed a clean pair of scrubs. Then headed to take a shower.
*********************************
After my shower and changed, I went to check on Chloe. She was still asleep
I hated to wake her up, but Carmen will be over at nine and she needed to eat Breakfast and get ready.
I sat on the bed and gently shook her. Her tiny eyelids fluttered opened and she smiled at me.
"Hi Daddy."
"Hi baby girl, sorry to wake you, but you need to get ready. Carmen will be here soon to start your lessons."
Chloe grumbled a little bit and rolled over to the other side. I chuckled.
"I can always call the public school and have you start tomorrow." I said.
" I'm up." She said.
"I'll meet you downstairs. I hear the boys getting up and ready to go."
With that, Chloe got out of bed, with her teddy bear in her arms, and went to get ready.
Just as I got downstairs, I got a call from Carmen. She told me that she will be here in a half an hour. I told her okay and hung up.
By then the boys were coming down. First Emmett, then Edward, and then Jasper. Chloe right on their heels.
"Hi Pops, what's for breakfast?" Emmett asked.
"Something quick and easy. Whatever you want." I said.
The boys said good morning to Chloe and then got their breakfast. I gave Chloe some cereal and we all sat down and ate.
About twenty minutes later, we were all done eating breakfast.
The boys got up and put their dishes in the sink. They said by to Chloe and grabbed their stuff and walked out the door.
"Why don't you get you school books and binders. Carmen will be here any minute." I said.
When Chloe got up, I put her bowl and cup in the sink. My phone started to ring and it was Carmen.
"Hello Carmen. How are you?" I asked.
"I am well. I'll be their in five minutes. I just wanted to tell you." Carmen said.
"Okay. Chloe went to get her school books. She will be down in a minute." I told her.
"Okay. See you in a minute." Carmen said.
As I was hanging up, Chloe came down with her books and binders in her arms. She put them on the table.
I heard a car pull and smiled. Carmen was here.
I grabbed my black doctor bag and coat. Just as I was putting my coat on, Carmen came in with bags filled with books, papers, and her computer.
I grabbed her computer and put it on the table. Carmen smiled gratefully at me.
"Thanks Carlisle. Hello Chloe!" Carmen said.
"Hi Carmen!" Chloe said.
"Well ladies, I'll be off. Chloe, be good for Carmen and do as she tells you. Carmen, the boys should be home by four at the latest. You can leave when the boys get home." I said.
Chloe ran to me and gave me a hug and I hugged her back and kissed her head. I said by to Carmen and headed to work.
