Chapter 2: Kind Family

Nessie's POV

My heart told me that I could trust Carlisle. I didn't know why, after all he was just a stranger to me. Yet, there was something about him that just made me feel safe. He seemed like a good man that really wanted to help me and my baby.

He even helped me walk to his car when he noticed that I was struggling a lot.

"Nessie are you feeling okay?" Carlisle asked me in concern once he was on the road.

"Not really. I think I twisted my ankle and I'm also still in a bit of pain. Actually quite a bit. But really it's my son that I'm worried about. I think that he has developed a fever" I said to him trying to keep my voice calm. I didn't want anything to happen to Noah. I'd die if something happened to my son!

"Nessie I promise you that as soon as we get to my house I will give you both the help that you need. You two will be okay" Carlisle said in a soothing voice. I couldn't help but to relax when I heard his voice.

"Thank you Carlisle. Really. I can't thank you enough for what you're doing for Noah and I" I had a smile on my face. I had so much gratitude for him right now. He wouldn't even understand it.

"Nessie I couldn't just leave you and a baby out there all by yourselves. Especially knowing that you had just given birth and that you both needed help. Honestly I can't believe that your parents would just kick you and your son out like that! Especially when it's pouring rain!" I could tell that he was getting upset. Honestly if the situation were reversed I would be upset after hearing a story like mine as well.

"Actually I can believe that they would do something like that. They never loved me or even cared about me. They have always cared more about their reputation and their money more then anything else. They are always gone at parties too. From an early age I have taken care of myself for the most part. I don't even know why they adopted me honestly. I wish they hadn't. Getting pregnant and having a baby would have damaged their reputation so they chose just to kick me out when I had my son. I didn't even know that they were going to do that"

It was silent for a full two minutes before Carlisle's voice broke that silence.

"Nessie I am really sorry that this happened to you. Your parents should have never treated you so badly. Your parents should have loved you and taken care of you the way that they were supposed to. And they most definitely should not have kicked you out right after having a baby"

"It's okay Carlisle-"

Noah started crying before I could even get my whole sentence out. I tried rocking him but that didn't seem to help much. Then I realized that he might be hungry again. It had been awhile since I first fed him. I was almost certain that he was just hungry again.

"Carlisle is it okay with you if I breastfeed him right now? I mean I can wait if you'd rather-"

"Nessie you don't even have to ask that. If he's hungry then you should feed him right away. You should not feel embarrassed to do something that is completely natural"

"Okay thank you" I was thankful that he couldn't see me blushing right now.

Turns out that I was right about him just being hungry. He latched on pretty quickly again and started nursing.

I stroked his head and admired his beautiful little face. I was still worried when I noticed that his fever had not gone away. It hadn't gotten worse though, and for that I was happy.

20 minutes later we pulled into the garage of what looked like a mansion of some kind. I was awed by the house and by the cars that I saw.

"Well this is weird. My kids were supposed to be home by now" Carlisle said.

"Wait, you have kids?" I asked him feeling a bit worried. I never even considered the fact that he might have a family. What if they didn't want Noah and I here?!

"It's okay Nessie they won't mind. Neither will my wife. As a matter of fact I'm sure that they will love you both" he said with a warm smile on his face.

"Okay"

Again Carlisle was kind enough to help me get out of the car and walk.

On the front porch stood a beautiful young woman that I assumed was Carlisle's wife. She had the same pale skin and gold eyes that he had. She also had a welcoming smile that instantly made me feel at ease.

"Carlisle who is this? You didn't tell me that we would have any guests tonight"

"I'm sorry dear. It was an unexpected situation. I just found her and her baby out on the street by themselves. Apparently her parents kicked her out after she gave birth today. So I couldn't just leave them. I hope you don't mind"

"Of course not" she answered.

"Well in that case Renesmee this is my wife Esme. Esme this is Renesmee or Nessie as she likes to be called"

"Renesmee? As in-"

"Yes"

I didn't even try to understand what they were saying. It was too confusing.

"Get inside you two before you all get sick" Esme said in a loving voice.

"Nessie is there absolutely anything that you need? Are you hungry? I can make you something to eat if you want"

"Chicken soup sounds nice right now. As long as it is not too much trouble" I was so cold right now that the thought of soup sounded absolutely delicious.

"Of course Nessie. You just go get warm okay?"

"Okay"

"Esme is really nice" I commented.

"She really cares about people. Especially children and teenagers like you. You see, in this family when we see someone in need we do not hesitate to help"

I smiled.

"Now Nessie I want you to go take a warm shower and change into pajamas. Okay? In the mean time I will examine your son and then I will examine you"

"Okay"

He gave me some pajamas and a towel so that I could dry myself.

I walked the short distance to the bathroom and took a quick shower.

When I was finished I quickly dried myself off and put on the pajamas. I quickly found Carlisle in his office which looked like a hospital room more then anything. It looked like he was finishing up examining my son.

"Is he okay?" I asked him.

"Well he has a mild case of hypothermia. Which I believe he caught out there in the cold. Luckily we caught it early enough to treat it before it turned into something more serious. He will be just fine"

"Oh thank god" I breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Just then I heard footsteps running toward the office.

"Carlisle-" It was an impossibly beautiful young woman that appeared to be about my age. She froze as soon as she saw me.

"Bella this is Renesmee and her son Noah. Nessie this is my daughter Bella"

Bella just stared at me as if she could not believe that i was there. She seemed genuinely shocked. Then she stared at my som. She breathed in a shaky breath as if she were about to cry.

"Bella why are you girls just getting home now? Also are the boys almost home yet?"

"The guys will be home soon. The reason Alice, Rosalie and I are just getting home is because Alice suddenly felt the need to go to all the baby stores in town and buy all kinds of baby supplies as well as the cutest newborn boy clothes. She didn't tell us why but I guess now it kind of makes sense" Bella explained.

I'm glad it made sense to someone because it sure as hell did not make any sense to me.
