All Human

Edward POV

Time has changed everything. I've been out of medical school for a year and I am now practicing as a doctor alongside Carlisle. I did get some offers for some big time hospitals, although ever since I was little I dreamt of working with him.

Lately, life has been hard alone. All of my siblings are happy in their matches. Alice and Jasper have been planning their wedding; she's obsessing over every little detail. For example, she spent hours debating with Rosalie if lily's or roses made the best bouquet. She still hasn't made a decision. Some nights, Jasper came over to my apartment because there was no room for him in their bed or on the couch. Alice is a bridezilla meets the energizer bunny, a deadly combination.

Rosalie and Emmett are content, they were married two years ago and don't have any plans for children. It's ironic, everyone thought I would have been the first to get married, yet here I am, alone.

I just ended my shift and needed to get away from Alice and her rampage of wedding catalogs. How Jasper kept her under control is beyond me.

I was now almost to the Port Angeles Pier. I loved to go walking to clear my head at times when life seemed hectic.

I got out of my new Volvo, same look, new interior and a better gas mileage. I began walking, not paying attention to the atmosphere. I was browsing the windows, seeing if there was anything Esme might like for her birthday.

It was then that I saw something that I never thought I would see through the windows of the local coffee shop. It was her. The one love I've ever had. She still looked beautiful. Her hair was shorter now, only reaching slightly past her shoulders. Of course, that only made it curlier. Her curves were more defined, although I think I know why.

In her arms was a child, no older than three. Bella, a mother? She and I rarely spoke of children and when we did she didn't sound like she was in a hurry to be a mother.

I stood there for a few minutes, watching her. She never looked up to meet my gaze. Bella looked extremely tired; she had dark circles under her eyes, most likely due to the sleeping baby girl in her arms.

Part of me was dying to walk into that coffee shop and talk to her. To make sure she was alright. My more rational side told me I shouldn't be happy to see her, she's the one that left me nearly three years ago. By now she's probably happily married with the father of her child. That was probably the reason that she left me in the first place.

I was so enveloped in my own thoughts; I didn't realize she was staring at me. It looked as though she was having the same internal battle as I was.

Instead of waiting to see what she chose, I left. Walking quickly back to my Volvo. I raced back to my parents' house, knowing that the rest of my family could also have been there, as today was our weekly family dinner. I need to talk to Carlisle. He would surely know the right thing to do, right?
