Hi guys! Listen, I'm really sorry it took so long, but I've gotta thank my betas, Irina and Joanie for reading, and critiquing. Thanks guys!
Bella's POV.
We drove to the hospital faster than usual. I didn't speak the whole way, because, to be honest, Edward had a bit of a crazed look in his eye.
And you don't mess with a crazed, repressed vampire.
That's like holding your bloody hand out to a rabid dog, And saying, 'Come get it! Tasty blood!'.
And, regardless of what Edward says, I do have some form of self-preservation.
After the second episode, where he found Alice and Jasper doing the dirty deed in his bed, he got a little. . . um. . . .psycho.
So, I very smartly elected not to say anything for the drive.
I wondered vaguely what Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie were doing. It was probably a continuation of their, um, fantasies, as Jasper so wisely called it.
I looked at Edward. Beautiful, smart Edward. Sigh. It was so sad that he was always the one to get teased by his siblings, about his virginity, his lack of experience.
Things got even worse after Emmett saw 'The Forty Year Old Virgin'.
They didn't usually tease me about it, but that was probably because I was actually eighteen, not a hundred and six year old virgin.
With my 'one track mind', as Edward liked to call it, I could never have stayed a virgin for as long as he had.
Which made me think about his self-control. Damn, that boy was good.
Which made me think a little more. With all these things stressing him out, I should find a de-stressing method for him.
One that Alice might have to help me a little with. I said no sex until marriage, but there were LOTS of things we could do that didn't actually involve the insertion of stick A into slot B, if you catch my drift.
But, that method was gonna have to come after this little excursion. When he was a little less crazed.
Ooh. We're here. I wonder how he's going to get Carlisle and Esme to punish his sex-crazed siblings. Oh well. I'll find out soon.
He just opened the door for me, looking very far away. I hope he doesn't do anything too drastic. As Alice is fond of saying, her dear brother has the slightest tendency to overreaction.
I looked at him tentatively as we walked. He didn't even glance at me. He was muttering to himself, quickly, in vampire speed, so, naturally, I didn't catch a single word.
He ignored the flustered nurse who asked him if he needed any help and, as he neared Dr. Cullen's office, he paid no attention to yet another nurse who I heard saying, "He's having lunch with Mrs. Cullen! He asked not to be disturbed!"
Then I realized. They were having lunch. Didn't want to be disturbed. Dammit. I didn't want an emotionally scarred vampire for the rest of eternity, so I uttered, "No, Edward wait!"
Which, in the middle of, he promptly wrenched open the door, exposing Carlisle and Esme against the wall, him supporting her, her legs wrapped around his waist, as they kissed with their uhhh, pants down.
Ok. I'm just gonna pretend I didn't see that. La-di-da-di-dum.
Nup, I did not just see my future 'adoptive' parents doing the deed in the doctor's office. Yeah, If I pretend I didn't see it, it's not there.
And, therefore, I will not be emotionally scarred for the rest of my existence with the sight of matrimonial porn.
Ok. This so isn't working. You know what, let's try the truth, okay Bella?
Okay, the truth is. . . My eyes! My eyes are burning! Stop the fire Edward! The fire in my eyes!
Another thing. . . So, was today 'have raunchy sex on things that aren't yours' day, and Edward and I just missed the memo?
Huh?
At least I was doing better than Edward. Who appeared to be hyperventilating. When he didn't even need to breathe. Okay, time to take him to the meadow. Where he can get un-traumatized. Hopefully.
He slammed the door, and I put my hand around his waist and guided him out of the hospital, where everyone stood, speechless.
Carlisle and Esme would be the talk of the town by tomorrow.
Carlisle's
POV
Oops. I looked at Esme. Seconds ago, she'd been in the
throes of passion. So had I, for that matter. But, that was before
our son, who just happened to be a mind-reader, burst
in the door of my office. Unannounced.
You see, with the mind-reader thing, I thought we'd have been safe, with him at least. And Jasper. And, really the whole family. Drawing on the fact that we're vampires and have enhanced hearing.
So, I thought we'd have been sheltered from this particular phenomenon.
Coming to think of it, Edward must not have been concentrating on our thoughts, because, when he burst through that door, his face did look somewhat. . .pained.
And why would he come here during the day anyway? He could've called. It must have been something important.
I met Esme's gaze. She looked terribly embarrassed. I supposed now wouldn't be a good time to tell her that the doctors and nurses outside the door had seen us.
"Carlisle, darling." She started, somewhat timidly.
"Next time we choose one of our. . . 'places', let's make sure it's not by a door, which, if opened, the whole of Forks can see us, hmm?" she said, rather quickly.
I nodded emphatically.
Then, my phone rang. The family was the only one who had the number. Something must be wrong.
Edward's POV
I
tried not to think. I tried not to read anyone's thoughts. I tried
to picture the meadow, Alaska, and my Volv-no. My Aston
Martin. I attempted to picture the most non sexual things I could
think of.
It still didn't remove the memories of my siblings having sex on my possessions. What were they thinking?
No! I knew what they were thinking. Disgusting, heated thoughts, that made me wish I could puke, to get rid of this, this, feeling in my stomach. Ugh!
Before I knew it, we'd reached the hospital. Bella had been silent the whole way, and I got out of the car, opening the door for her, and almost carrying her to get to Carlisle's office, because I was in a hurry.
I walked at a quick pace, ignoring the vile nurses that tried to stop me.
We reached the office, and, seconds before I wrenched the door open, Bella said something like 'stop,' which I ignored also. I didn't mean to, but I just opened the door, too quickly for her to stop me.
Oh, how I wish I'd listened.
The sight that greeted me was that of my adoptive parents, having sex on the wall of his office, with him hoisting her up against the wall.
Something that I never wished to see.
Carlisle thought something like, 'Close the door Edward!'
And Esme was frozen, in shock. I don't think she even thought anything, like, she was completely frozen.
I too, was shocked, and frozen, it seemed like.
I was also traumatized. Very, very traumatized. And, it was the strangest thing, I felt like I couldn't breathe, so I sucked in air as quickly as I could, but I still couldn't. . .
Luckily, Bella put her hand around my waist and guided me through the hospital doors.
And out into the car, where she took the keys out of my pocket.
And drove, with her warm hand on my cold one, for the whole ride.
All the while I muttered, "Freesia, Bella, sun, meadow, wedding," over and over and over.
Bella looked worried.
Okay guys, you know the drill. Please review.
