Chapter 4: CVA-Certified Vampire Assistant

Bella

"I don't know who I am more worried about, Nessie or myself." I told Edward as I stared at my outfit in the mirror. He was doing it again. Staring at me in the way that he knew I loved so much. I couldn't believe all of my feelings felt the same way as they did 6 years ago. I was sure my human mind thought it loved him this much but I knew it took these senses that my love had bestowed upon me to fully appreciate everything that he was. I considered calling in sick my first day but I knew that wouldn't fly well. I knew my boss pretty well.

"Edward. Please stop. I can't help myself when you are doing that." He looked up at my eyes with his wicked grin.

"Do what? You're no longer human I can't dazzle you anymore." He fished. He knew his magic still worked on me. I thought for a second of crushing his little attempt but I knew better. Since I was the only mind he couldn't read he was very sensitive about the things I said, so I tried to be very honest with him all the time.

"Honey, I think we both know that I still get my daily dazzle from you." His smile was there but I could tell he was thinking. "Why do you always think that whenever we talk about stuff?" I asked.

"Think what?" He asked me, sitting up on the bed.

"Think, 'man I wish I could read her thoughts.'" I answered with a smile. His shocked face almost fell to the ground.

"I'm supposed to be the mind reader!" He said, leaping up to me and grabbing on before I could stop him. I hated losing my overwhelming new born powers. Now my senses and speed were equal to a normal vampire. He held me so firmly that I almost threw in the towel.

"Hey, I love you. I always have and I always will. Trust the words I say like I have to trust the ones you do." Getting used to not knowing for certain what someone actually thought wasn't new to me like it was to him.

"I know love. I wish you could tell what I was thinking too." He added. Being able to read people and know their true feelings, I knew, would give you an outlook on humanity as liars, because normally people were not open to each other, and opened themselves up falsely to hide what they expected people to not like. It was completely different when you were in love. I nestled into him.

"What did you just say?" He asked me curiously.

"You just said.." I started but he cut me off.

"No, were you just thinking love made things completely different?" Oh no. I thought. He had found a way around my shield. He could tell through my eyes that he was right.

"Not your eyes baby, your head." I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to think it was a bad thing. I had been practicing throwing my shield out so he could read my thoughts and it was very easy for me to do now. I checked to see if maybe I had accidentally pushed it out and I felt it come and cascade into me.

"I lost it. It was your shield. You have to make sure you don't make a habit of that. I need you fully protected from the powers that be." He said concerned. He stepped out earlier then I think he wanted to and I finished getting ready.

I walked down the stairs and heard Edward's pleas for Nessie to stop. She was probably feeling his head up with the one thing that she knew disturbed him, images of her kissing guys. I didn't know what was so disturbing about the images. It must be a father thing. Nessie had tried it on me once but I laughed. So she tried something else. She sent me images of myself and Jacob. Edward stood in the background staring at me. I remember falling to my knees and she quickly turned off the image. She didn't mean anything by it but it still hurt. She didn't know why and I didn't want her to. I stayed away from her the whole day and it hurt me just as much as I was sure it hurt her, but not even close to how much the images had hurt. She didn't know about Jacob and me. She had no idea that before she was born I was caught up with a predicament involving my love for Jacob. It was my biggest shame. Something that I still didn't want Edward to know I hated myself for. Even if it was just a kiss, it was not his.

"Nessie. Stop." I told her walking away from the group just as fast as I had joined them. The memory had made me feel uncomfortable and all parties were there. I didn't even wish her a good day at school which I felt bad for but I didn't have the heart to go back and say it.

I got to the garage and jumped into the passenger seat of the Mercedes. The keys were left in the ignition which was normal procedure in our garage. So I turned on the radio. A CD began that I instantly recognized. Someone had thoughtfully put in the CD that Edward had made for me, my last human birthday. It was heavily ironic that I officially emerged a vampire on my human birthday.

I felt a rush of air as the door opened and Carlisle entered the vehicle. He seemed surprised by the CD so it wasn't him that put it in. The mystery was still open. I smiled at him and he smiled back.

"Did you get enough hunting in yesterday?" Carlisle asked looking into my eyes trying to answer his own question. Although my eyes were clearly bright amber I answered him with a nod. "If it gets rough, just walk away. I will cover for you. It's imperative that you never lose control." I knew he was scared but there was no need. I was in control. We listened to the CD the whole way there. The last song playing was one of my favorites. I loved how aggressive he seemed to push on the piano keys.

When we reached the hospital the smell of it sent tingles down my spine. I walked directly by Carlisle's side. We entered the hallway and he started telling me the locations of each station. I couldn't help but focus my shield into a thick protection around myself. It was something of a habit that I did when I was nervous.

As I thought people were staring. I didn't make eye contact. I tried to smile at what Carlisle was saying but none of it was coming through. We stopped suddenly and he looked down at me.

"Are you ok, Bella?" He asked. I didn't know how to explain the fact that I was extremely nervous. I hated being at the center of attention and I knew a new nurse was definitely the talk of the hospital.

"I'm fine." I lied and I was sure he could tell. "So where's my post? I'm ready to get started." I told him rubbing my hands together. He smiled at my mock enthusiasm and we continued walking to the area I would be spending most of my time while at the hospital.

"Sam." Carlisle called to a lady in her early 30's. She turned and came with a smile. "Sam, I would like you to meet Bella, my youngest son's wife." She grabbed my gloved hand and shook it.

"My, she's beautiful Carlisle. She's very fitting for that Edward of yours." She smiled at me. I didn't know how I felt about her talking about Edward but I was flattered that I fit with his beauty. She looked deep into my eyes. I knew my new contacts would work perfectly. We had spent a lot of time on our cosmetics since we planned on staying in Forks long term.

Alice had perfectly placed a beard on Carlisle that aged him magically. She had spent three years straight training in cosmetic surgery and had used the hair of one of the wolves for her masterpiece. It seemed the hair of the wolves was one of the only things that would not be disintegrated by the venom. They had a natural defense against its acidic properties. The contacts unfortunately did not share those properties and needed to be replaced every two hours. Pretty expensive. My salary almost covered it. It was good that like Carlisle I wasn't in it for the money.

Carlisle

I put my watch on and checked my pocket for my pen and my mini flash light. Everything seemed to be in order. I was nervous and I knew Esme could see right through me.

" Everything is going to be fine." She coaxed me. I sat on the edge of the bed we never slept on. She swept over behind me and plunged her fingers into my shoulders. She caressed me like only she could and I wondered how I got through the first 200 years of my life without her.

"I know. It's just a big day for the Cullen family." I said not wanting her to realize all the danger we were in. We were attempting to set up a home for ourselves. A real home, that like Volturra we could stay in forever. Unlike Aro and his coven, we would not be using intimidation and murder to control the people around us. We would be blending in like we always have but for long term now. I looked into our mirror at my beard. It was just around the mouth and chin but it did its job. The goatee was Alices idea. She thought it would go well with our age transitioning. We were going to go with the heavier beard in about ten years.

Esme followed me to the mirror and inspected our reflections. She played with my beard through her fingers. I twisted my head to be in view with her face. We kissed our immortal kiss that we had perfected in a little under a hundred years.

"I really wish Bella would have decided to be a homemaker like me." Esme said while we embraced.

"I know. Me too. I think she considers you more as an artist by profession." She shrugged and would have blushed if there was any heat to her body.

"That's a hobby." She defended I knew she wanted more. I knew even more then she did. I knew what I had to do. First thing when I arrived home today I was going to get with Raphael, my preferred art dealer and I was going to set up an exhibition for her.

I smelled Edwards scent as a knock sounded at the door.

"Come in Edward." I said and he obliged. He looked disturbed, maybe even scared.

"Edward is everything alright?" I asked as I approached him. He shook his head.

"She's losing it. Her shield is... I think it's no longer automatically protecting her." He was very scared.

"Son I'm sure it's nothing. How do you know it happened?" I questioned. I looked over at Esme and she did what she usually did in these situations. She nodded out of the conversation and decided to go say goodbye to everyone.

"I read her thoughts. She didn't even know I was doing it until I brought it up and then she pulled back in her shield and I was out again." His grave look was fitting. The inability to effect her with any of our kinds special ability is one of the things that keep our family safe.

"Exactly." He answered my thoughts. We'll look into it then. We'll do some test. Do you think she should stay home until we figure this all out? I was hoping he would agree with me.

"She would never go for that." He said smiling, his imagination probably going through what the conversation with her would be like.

"Yep. Not so good." We laughed. We always made jokes of things when we were scared. We both stopped and frowned down. I tried to disassemble the thoughts about her shield and just focus on the task at hand. She was the newest member of our family and the newest "vegetarian". Taking her into a situation where she was going to be around the injured and bleeding patients would be considered irresponsible by any of our kind.

"She'll be fine.." Edward comforted. I really hope you're right. I thought aloud for him. He nodded and ran through the door. He stopped quickly and returned. "By the way, the Exhibition is a great idea." And then he was off down the stairs to the group leaving for school. As someone opened the front door Esme drifted into our room.

"Exhibition?" She questioned with a general since of wondering.

"Oh just something that I thought of for that deal I'm working on with the Quileute. I might need your help with it. I'm thinking about building a miniature of our idea for Billy." I smiled at her hoping she wouldn't see right through me. She didn't, and I could tell she was excited to be a part of the talks.

"I need to get on this right away. Of course I will help you with the miniature, I am the 'artist' of this family, right?" She said with a grin that I felt great about attributing to. I felt bad that I was lying but at least my lie had brought up something that I hadn't even considered before. She looked up considering a few things and then like the deadline was tomorrow she looked over at me nervously. "I have to go. I don't have enough clay…. I have to get…" She was out of the room before she finished. I shook my head with a smile. She returned a second after leaving.

"I almost forgot." She fronted a gasp. The kiss was powerful, and moving. She is definitely getting an exhibition.

I got to the car and all my excitement for my love was replaced by the fear that was present ever since Bella told me she wanted to work at the hospital as a nurse. I knew she was an exception to most rules with a control that sadly put my first couple years of this existence to shame. I haven't killed any human but I've been close. She had a natural control as a newborn that I didn't understand.

Someone had put Edwards CD into my CD player. It wouldn't have been Esme or Edward since they knew that I always listened to Wagner on the way to the hospital. I looked from the CD player to her and realized that she was considering if I put it in. I didn't have the heart to turn it off. I didn't need Wagner like I was sure she needed Edward.

I went over the basics with her. I made sure she had hunted and that she knew we could make excuses for her running off, but not for… I hated the idea of it. She was not one bit afraid and I was unsure if that made me feel more comfortable of less comfortable. We didn't say anything on the way to the hospital. We just listened to Edwards CD. The song that finished the trip was one that I knew too well. He didn't title any of the songs but if I could for him I would call it 'So Delicious it would be'. Even without lyrics the music told the story of how he thirsted for her. I didn't think she heard it. Either that or she liked the fact that he had wanted so badly to end her life, because she was smiling while it played.

When we reached the hospital I considered going over things again but decided not to, because I knew she remembered. Of course she did, she was a vampire. When we got out of the car I looked over the hood barely able to see below her chin. I saw her nose suck in the air around her. I was glad this test was going to happen here in the dark parking lot where I could stop her if need be. I saw her tense a little but she emerged from the car to my side and nodded towards the entrance. I guess test 1 complete. I thought to myself.

"Alright this is station one. This is where the surgery patients go. It gets pretty bad around there. Being the best surgeon here, whenever there is someone seriously hurt I will be there." I looked down to her but she wasn't looking back. She had a dead look in her eyes that I hoped wasn't the loss of control.

"Station two, over there is for pediatrics." I pointed down to the desk where Rachel sat. She looked up at me and then trailed pass me to Bella nearly falling out of her seat. I just smiled and looked to see if Bella had noticed. Her body was rigid and now she was looking from person to person with a look in her eye that I hadn't seen since she first came to our house as a human. I knew this was a bad idea. I stopped and looked down at her. I tried to read her eyes but she was looking up to mine with confusion.

"Are you ok, Bella?" I asked, looking around to make sure no one was paying attention to our conversation. She looked at me like she was trying to find the right words to tell me. Just tell me this was a mistake! I thought. I wanted to just turn around and walk away.

"I'm fine." Her voice said, but her face, her eyes in particular, said something differently. I realized that she might dive at someone at any moment now. It was over. Everything we had worked so hard for would be over in a flash. I would have to pick her up and run as fast as I can. Maybe I should just do it now. No need risk people's lives. I decided that was the best course of action and looked around to see if there was an opening. Of course there wasn't. Every eye that had glanced on us had focused all of their attention now. Well it looks like there is no other way. I started to put my hands in position to whisk her off but she didn't seem to notice.

"So where's my post? I'm ready to get started." I almost jumped back teeth fully exposed. I was for certain this was going to be the end and she surprised me yet again. It had been six years with her as one of us. I didn't know why I still doubted Bella. They broke the mold with this one.

I introduced her to Sam, the head nurse in her new area and I went to work. I was going to do what I should have done from the beginning, trust Bella. I went to my office and chuckled to myself about how, not her but, I almost gave us all away. I looked over at my Hassan and it reminded me of Raphael. I mine as well get that over with now. I reached for the phone but before I could pick it up it rang.

"Dr. Cullen." I answered.

"Hello Dr. I have Edward on line 3." Rachel informed. I remembered telling her that she should just put them through to me, but unfortunately it was pretty easy to see that she didn't want to miss this chance of communicating with me. If only she knew I was hundreds of years older than her.

"Put him through please." I said as sincere as I could. I wouldn't remind her to just put them through, this time.

"Edward. Is everything ok?" I asked when I heard the phone click over.

"It's Nessie. She's… She lost it a little bit. Not anything too bad… Yet.. I saw it all play out." I was losing the story as he drifted into his own thoughts.

"What do you mean? What happened? Is anyone hurt?" This was such a bad idea. All of these different groups without each other. Together we were strong apart we had… some weakness.

"No one was hurt. Maybe the boy's feelings…" He lost me again. "It's a long story even though it only took about 15 minutes. I will tell everyone all together tonight. She is at home with Jacob. No one noticed anything"

"Should I tell Bella?" I asked knowing the right answer but wanting his answer.

"It's a hard choice. She will be mad at us if we don't, but if we do she will want to throw everything down and come running to her side. You decide." He told me. I was just getting comfortable with her at the hospital but I would really feel a lot better if she did go home. I will tell her.

"Hi Sam. Can I please speak with Bella?" I asked, uncontrollably smiling at my plan to make it sound dreadful.

"Hello." Bella answered. She did seem to be better.

"Hi. I just got off the phone with Edward." I told her pausing for her to build up in her head dreadful possibilities.

"Is everything ok?" She asked rapidly.

"Well, there was a situation at the school. Edward sent Renesmee home. He said she lost control."

"Did anyone get hurt?" She asked and I thought about her reaction and it's similarity to mine.

"No. But he couldn't go on with it further. He said he would tell us all tonight what happened. She's at home with Jacob." I knew it made her uncomfortable having the two of them alone in the house. She and I both worried about the same thing. When was Jacob's bulb going to light up and he start to see Renesmee as a woman?

"Ok good. He won't let anything happen to her." My smile faded. "We'll see what happened tonight." At that moment I realized it. I realized what Edward had seen in her, the unpredictability. She would never stop surprising anyone.
