Chapter 2

A special thank you to Naruto's lost love for helping me with the chapter :D

Life Continues On...


Carlisle Cullen left the sanctuary of his home, making his way to his black BMW. He worked at Forks General hospital. He liked helping people, unfortunately as they had such a big secret to hide, they always went to small towns. Which meant there were not a bus load of emergencies all the time. His day consisted of seeing adults complaining about aches and pains, and performing operations when they were needed. One of his elder patients had bad hips, and today they would be operated on. Blood no longer bothered Carlisle; he was even immune to its affects one would say. It wasn't as easy for the rest of his family unfortunately, especially Jasper who had the most difficult time of them all. As he drove towards the hospital he observed a change in the normal routine he always saw. Since his shift started rather early, people were only taking in the news papers, setting out stands, chairs, tables and the likes to start their day. Yet there was one such shop that had been unoccupied for months that was now open. He idly wondered what the shop would be turned into this time. Not many shops survived in Forks, since it was such a small town and people rarely ventured into Forks unless it was an overnight stay before moving on once more.

So much had happened since he'd first been here; back then it had just been himself, Edward, Rosalie and his lovely wife Esme. There they had signed a treaty, never to venture on their land the same went for the shape shifters. Esme often worried in private about their 'adopted children' especially when it became apparent they'd never fall in love. Only a few years later Carlisle had realized they were just too different. Yet after they'd moved from Forks, Rosalie had asked him to save Emmett. He would never have denied her, he saved those he could. Nobody young deserved death, especially not one young as Rosalie, Edward or even Emmett.

Then two other companions joined them, and Edward finally found someone right for him. They were so different, it had surprised him, surprised everyone really. Alice was bouncy and bubbly; Edward was quiet and reserved really. Yet together they made the perfect couple, and who was he to argue? Edward deserved someone to love after being so alone all those years. Jasper was the only one in the family that didn't have someone in his life. He felt so bad for him, he wanted his other half. He became even more despondent after spending time with charlotte and peter. Which was a dead give away that he really needed his mate; otherwise Jasper wouldn't continue to live this life. It didn't help that he never interacted with others, not even their own kind. Other than Charlotte and Peter of course and his family. He hated humans, hated attending school, more often than not he would just not attend.

Even Edward had, had it tough last year. His singer had moved into town, Edward and Alice had fled to the Denali Coven for a week before Alice managed to convince him to come back. Thankfully Edward had made Carlisle so very proud, he'd suppressed his thirst and survived an entire year of sitting next to his singer. Not many vampires could say they had the will power to do it. Yet his son had, and he was extremely proud of him and let him know it too. His son had spoken of not taking biology this year, not that he could blame him. Best to avoid the temptation if one could. Although Bella had been staring at Edward in a way that was beginning to annoy the copper haired vampire. Especially considering he couldn't read her mind, the only thing that calmed him was knowing that Alice would see whatever it was.

He parked his car, perfectly despite the thoughts on his mind today. Turning off the ignition off he made his way into the hospital. Smiling kindly at the receptionist, nurses and other doctors he saw as he made his way to his office. It was the start of another day, in nine days the school would start back up and everyone would have something to do. They didn't like school much he knew that, but without something to do they'd start feeling agitated. He knew from personal experience. He idly wondered if Edward would learn to be a doctor again, or if he'd choose another course this time. He had practiced it several time, but never once actually worked in a hospital. The down side of always looking young, he'd never be able to work for long before they have to disappear and start all over again.

"Good morning Doctor Cullen, here are the files you requested," said the nurse making her way into his office, putting the files upon his desk. "The book you wanted wasn't available, I've purchased it for you, and I hope that's okay?" it was evident by her worry that she was very young and new here. Despite the fact that he was newer here than her, she was actually very young.

"That's fantastic Chloe, I appreciate it," said Carlisle smiling at her softly, as he sat down and began flipping through the various files he'd been handed. He rather hoped she left and did not start gossiping with him. It's why he avoided the nurses stations when he could, they chatted so much that he found it increasingly difficult to leave.

"Have you met the new Englishman that's just moved here yet?" she asked, and Carlisle's hopes were blown.

"Englishman?" asked Carlisle surprised, it must be the shop then, rumours travelled so fast.

"Oh yes, he's very polite! I bumped into him at his new shop! Unfortunately he was too busy to talk much." Chloe said almost pouting at Carlisle.

"I see," said Carlisle, it had been a very long time since he'd met a fellow Englishman. He was originally from England, a fact that was easy to forget with his accent always changing to suit wherever they were. Even his family forgot where he was originally from, since they were all from one part or another in American.

"He's opening a bakery," said Chloe still talking despite the fact Carlisle was politely trying to get her to leave by reading. No success, as she impatiently waited for him to reply.

"That sounds nice," said Carlisle, as if they didn't have enough food shops around here.

"Isn't it!" she said breathlessly positively gushing at him.

"I'm sorry but I do have these files to read," said Carlisle a regretful look upon his face.

"Of course Doctor Cullen," she said blinkingly almost blankly before turning to leave, and only then did Carlisle sigh gratefully. He liked them he really did; he just did not like the constant gossip that they fed from. Most of the time it was about his family that he did not approve off. Unfortunately it was expected in such small towns, it's all they had to speak about really.


Jacob Black had brought along Quil Ateara, Seth Clearwater and Embry Call, such weird names but who was he to say anything. Draco was just as weird as well as many people's names from the Wizarding world Harry couldn't help but think. They had no problem moving the equipment he needed moved he had known the second they'd shown up what they were. He could feel it, sense it, it had to be part of his Master of Death abilities, because he'd never had the ability to tell the difference between other creatures before. Not that they were creatures per say, in fact Harry was dying to know more about them. Unfortunately he couldn't just ask them, it wouldn't be right.

"Where do you want this Harry?" asked Jacob, staring at the twenty two year old curiously. He was very young, obviously loaded, Jacob had drooled over the car! What he wouldn't do to drive a car like that for even half an hour. He was also English which he'd discovered earlier. Quil and Embry had basically had to drag him into the store and away from the silver Ferrari. He had called him 'Sir' to begin with but Harry hadn't liked that very much. Insisted immediately that they call him Harry. Considering he didn't look much older than them they were all too happy to.

"That goes in the back, if you can't handle it just leave it there," said Harry, they'd finished painting the back a soft green colour. So everything was being moved in, carefully of course to avoid having to redo it. Harry doubted they'd have trouble, they were pure muscle. He was curious about them; they were nothing like Remus and more like his godson.

"Alright," said Seth, he was by far the smallest of them but he was no means lacking. In a few months he had no doubt he'd be as big as the rest of them.

Harry looked around the kitchen in satisfaction; it was coming together rather quickly. He wasn't very fond of the sinks but they were only used for washing things. He could live with them. The guys would be in after lunch to install his worktop, white marble he'd chosen. It would blend in fantastically with the colour he'd chosen on the walls. Not that you'd see much of it, since he had plans for two huge wooden choppers and racks to sit on it.

Harry looked around, nodding in satisfaction, and then looked down at his list. It was a long list he'd created a few Stand mixers one floor mixer and a table stand one. Scales both normal and digital. Sheeter that's used to flatten dough, fondant and the like. Proofer that is used to give the yeast in dough heat to puff up. Five Convection ovens Refrigerators one was already there a walk in, and he'd ordered two reach in ones just to be safe. Work Tables which were due in later today. Racks where he planned to put baked goods to cool or to put in the oven also put in freezer. Bread slicer's. Pans and sheet pans and the smaller utensils that were needed and still waiting on. The actual ingredients he'd need to either bulk by from a shop or order from. He'd wanted to get a dishwasher, but it wasn't very logical most stuff wouldn't fit in an actual dishwasher and the big ones are too expensive. He would be better of actually hiring a bus boy.

Now that most of the equipment was moved, he could begin painting the front of the shop. He quickly opened the large paint tin, and poured a generous amount into the plastic roller box and immediately began working. He'd received funny looks from the boys when he'd first helped. Evidently most people who had money that hired help didn't actually help during the process. Harry wasn't like that though; he wasn't like many people if they were being honest.

It didn't take long for the others to join in, and the blue paint was spread across the entire front of the store. Harry only stopped helping when the door went, and he had to sign off on deliveries. Thankfully everything that was coming was now much smaller and easier for one person to handle.

"Alright guys why don't you have lunch on me," said Harry handing over fifty dollars for them to spend on whatever they wanted. "I'll see you back here in about an hour in a half." putting away his wallet, glad he'd had the money converted already.

"Alright! Thanks Harry!" grinned Seth; his handsome features alight with glee. The others all stared at him in amusement and fondness. It was obvious they were close to one another, Harry had no idea just how close they actually were.

"No problem," laughed Harry before gesturing for them to leave with his head, which they all too gratefully did having been working all morning.
