Chapter 4

I threw on a pair of flip flops which is avery bad decision for Washington but, as I wasn't doing anything that involved being truly outside today, I decided, why not?

"Going to go see Charlie, Bella?" I heard Carlisle say from behind me.

"Yeah. I thought he would need to see me since in two days I won't be his baby anymore," I said. I shrugged while saying it. Carlisle's eyes seemed to twinkle in the light of the chandelier above us.

"Would you like me to give you a ride? I'm going to the hospital anyway. Apparently a young boy decided to crash a motorcycle," he said. Though he was disaproving of the way many humans behaved, Carlisle loved his job. It was, in a way, the perfect job for him. Even though you never imagine a vampire working in a hospital. Its not part of the cliché. Which is really kind of good.

"Umm, sure. If its not a problem to you, of course." I said shyly. I may not be shy around Edward and Alice, but I would be wrong to admit that the rest of his family was slightly different. I've never really been around them for a long period of time. But soon, I would have an eternity to know them.

"its no problem at all, dear. Please, follow me. My car is just this way." he pulled his keys out of his pocket, and opened the door for me. I stepped through and he was quickly behind me. It was amazing to watch him move. Carlisle walked so smoothly, just like all of the Cullens.

As I got into the sleek black car, I was reminded suddenly of the prom. When my leg had been wrapped in gauze and then the deadly shoe. I had been Bella Barbie to Alice all day...

Carlisle started the car and we were off.

The drive was quiet. Neither of us tried for conversation. Carlisle, like Edward, was a very good driver. He drove fast, too. We were at my house in a matter of minutes. I always find it amazing to stare out the window when driving with a Cullen. The trees look even prettier.

"Thank you Carlisle. I very much appreciate you driving me," I said and smiled. I unbuckled my seat belt.

"Your welcome Bella. I'm sure Chief Swan can give you a ride home. And if he can't all you need to do is call one of us and we shall come and get you." his returning smile, was sweet. But it was much more dazzling than mine, of that I was positive. His teeth seemed to gleam in the light of the car.

"Alright. Bye Carlisle. Have fun sewing up that boy." He laughed. I shut the door and waved as he sped off.

I walked up to the door of Charlie's house. I stepped in. "Dad? Are you here?" I asked.

"Bells? I'm in here!" he said. It sounded like he was in the kitchen. So I went that way.

"Hey dad. How are you?" I asked as I watched him try to fry some eggs. Unsuccessfully.

"I'm great Bells. Just one sec." he smiled and then took the eggs off the burner and put them on a plate. I had to admit, he was doing better.

"Alright. Bella. Its good to see you." he said and then gave me a semi-awkward hug.

"Nice eggs, dad." I commented.

"Atleast they aren't burned. Be happy about that. HA. Your living in a house full of good cooks now, so I dont think you'll cook much." he smiled his smile.

"I still cook, dad. Edward loves my cooking. So does Esme. I dont know about the others though. They haven't tried it," I smiled at my small joke. "So, how are you? With the whole wedding thing? Got your suit yet?"

"I'm doing fine, Bella. You baby me too much. I think your too young, but I know that you love him. I told you that. And yes I have my suit. Alice basically wouldn't let me be alive right now if I didnt. She's quite the wedding planner. Is she going to do that for a living?" he asked.

"I doubt it, dad. No one really knows what Alice wants to do with life."

"Well I suppose she better start thinking about it. You'll all be going to college soon."

"Yeah...we will." They will. We still dont know what i'll be like in the fall.
