Chapter 4

Kaylee

As I lay in bed at night staring at the ceiling my thoughts wandered to Carlisle. How could he not have had anyone in his life. It just did not make sense and I felt that I would not stand a chance. Wait what was I thinking. I am his lawyer nothing more. We had another meeting tomorrow evening because he had to speak to the adoption facility about more paper work that has to be redone because the judge had called him saying they were misplaced. Although I had a feeling it was just so she could see Carlisle and get turned down again which would not work out in our favor. I also needed to speak to the child so that I could have extra reports written that could strongly help with the case. Although it was eleven thirty at night I decided to call Carlisle and leave a message regarding my latest thoughts.

I scrolled through my phone looking for the contact.

It rang and instead of going to voicemail his wonderful voice that made me melt picked up. I hit my head with my palm, stupid me.

"Hello Carlisle I am sorry to bother you this late at night. But I know you are calling the adoption facility tomorrow for more papers and was wondering if you would be able to schedule a meeting so that I could meet him and take and create a report that could benefit you in court."

"I know I probably never mentioned it but his name is Emmet, and that would be wonderful. What kind of setting would make it work for you?"

"Any setting that would make him feel comfortable and definitely happy. The happier he is the better it would be for this report."

"Okay let me think of some ideas and I will text you in the morning after I discuss with them what we are allowed to do."

After the normal yes and good nights I continued to ponder about this case. I wanted Carlisle happy too and knew I had to work as hard as possible for this case. Maybe once this case was over I would begin working opening my own law firm.

I awoke to the pain in my leg and looked my phone. 9:30 am.. Well at least I got a decent amount of sleep. I hobbled on the crutches towards the kitchen. I ate breakfast peacefully and wrote some poetry as I sat at the kitchen table. I decided a bath would be a good idea for some me time. I grabbed my phone and saw three messages from Carlisle that he would be picking me up at 12 for the meeting. I huffed guess a quicker than normal me time bath would work.

Carlisle P.O.V

I was unable to let the kids go to school today because with this meeting I would not be able to pick them up from school. I had the best idea possible. We would all take a trip to the aquarium. I packed all the kids in the SUV. Emmet I would just take out of the wheel chair, put him in a booster seat, and put the wheel chair in the trunk. I turned a movie on in the back for the kids to keep them quiet. As always the princess Rose chose what they would watch.

Kaylee hobbled out and I at a little quicker then human pace went to her side to help her out of the house. I prayed in my head that if there was a God he would make sure she didn't see that. How I wish I could just make it known my strength and just carry her to the car. Her makeup was done so well, would it be awkward if I commented on it? Is that acceptable? I was so out of touch with flirting.

As I helped her into the car her hand found my arm and I never felt my body become as warm as it did in that moment.

"Kaylee you look very beautiful today."

She looked at me and even beneath the makeup I could still see a blush forming. I smiled to myself as I got into the driver side.

"Hello Ms. Kaylee" Rose practically screamed with excitement. I looked in the rearview mirror and saw her bouncing in her chair.

"Hello Rose" Kaylee responded in a silly voice.

We arrived at the facility and Kaylee decided that coming in would be a good idea so she can add the condition of the rooms to the report. I was happy that she was being logical about this. All I cared about was seeing Emmet and making sure he was okay.

I saw Kaylee take out her phone and took her headphones out of her bag. I threw a questioning look her way.

"I wont be able to use crutches and write at the same time. So ill just record my findings and then change it to writing once I get home."

After everyone exited the car, Kaylee went first and I followed with the kids at my side. As she got close to the door she dropped her headphones and bent. Her mini skirt rode up and I got a full view and was instantly turned on. If I was human my cheeks would have been flushed.

The pick up was simple, you could tell the people were thankful that Emmett would be gone for a little while since it was one less mouth they would have to feed and a body they wouldn't have to take care of. Kaylee asked me where we were going but I wanted her to be surprised just like the children. In my head this was our first family outing, but I would never reveal that to her. 33 more minutes until we arrived.

We arrived and Kaylee looked up at the sign as we drove under. She leaned over and whispered to me that the kids would love this. I threw a soft smile her way and parked the car.

"Kids wake up we are here."

The kids missed the sign as we pulled in and were completely confused looking around the parking lot.

"Daddy I don't want to go car shopping."

Kaylee burst out laughing with a little snort which caused all of us to laugh even harder.

"Princess I promise we aren't going car shopping lets start getting out of the car okay?"

I took the wheel chair out of the back and gently retrieved Emmett and put him in the seat. I put Alice in the stroller and Jasper and Rosalie grabbed hold of either side and pushed it together. I went behind Emmett to push him. Kaylee trailed at a slower pace behind with crutches but that would be fixed. When we got to the ticket booth, I paid for all the tickets and the kids were bouncing excitedly. I politely asked the lady if it would be any trouble if we could have two motorized wheel chairs. I explained the situation and what we were hoping to accomplish here and without consulting her manager agreed quickly. I knew Emmett would feel that he had more freedom this way.

I helped Emmett into his after the nice lady brought them around and his smile was big. Rosalie ran to his side immediately. The future was so bright for them.

Off we went into the Aquarium, to the first exhibit of Emmett's choice: Sharks. This caused Kaylee's face to go pale and I could see her brain searching for an excuse to be somewhere else.

THERE WILL BE A PART TWO TO THIS ADVENTURE.
