Disclaimer: So tell me in Twilight is there a girl named Caylyn that Edward dumps Bella for? That he falls in love with has a baby and then changes her? There isn't? Oh… well then I guess Twilight isn't mine… cause if it was that's how the story would go… I'm Caylyn by the way, and the girl that really owns Twilight, her name is Stephanie Meyers, she's almost as great as J.k Rowling.!
Chapter Four
I was sitting in the hall of the hospital as the nurses in Edward's room worked on him. A soft sigh came from my lips as I wiped the last tear from my face. I had vowed to stop crying a while ago, but I couldn't help it, whenever those nurses rushed me from the room I couldn't hold back anymore. They came full-fledged. Luckily this time, the wracking sobs were not included.
"Here Miss. Swan, dinner," Dr. Cullen sat next to me on the floor with a bowl of rice. I sniffed and smiled, happily accepting the steaming bowl from him.
He sat with me in silence as I ate greedily, I really did need to take care of myself for. "Aren't you hungry Dr. Cullen?" I asked after a moment.
He chuckled, "Oh no I already filled myself up, but thank you." His smile was infectious and made me smile back.
"Thank you for taking care of me. I know I've been a nuisance."
The doctor shook his head and took my hand. I lowered my face. "Isabelle, you have been nothing but a gift since the moment you were born. You're just like your mother in every way… I mean look at your choice in men. A Masen of all people."
That made me chuckle. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and I rested against his cold body, suddenly utterly exhausted. "I know, how did that happen? Tell me about my mother, father never talked about her and I only wish I had known her, even if it was only for a day."
"Your mother was a free spirit. She was so beautiful, and she spoke for herself. She was definitely mixed up with another baby at birth because there was no way she was your grandfather's daughter. He was so much like you father, and there was no stopping what he said. Of course your mother was strong willed, and when she met Edward's father she knew nothing but love."
"It was the same for me," I whispered, as small smile on my face.
"I know, and your mother would have been proud. It's as if she's allowing you to live the life she was never able to live. You should be thankful Isabelle, she would be so proud."
The tears came again and we sat there for a long time as I cried into his unusually cold chest, he patted my back and soothed me softly.
I woke up some time later in the chair that was in Edward's room. When I opened my eyes I found him sitting up, eating something for once. The sun shone brightly through the window behind him, making his bronze hair glow like a halo. He looked at me, his face pale and pasty, with dark circles under his eyes. And he smiled brilliantly.
"Morning sleepy head. You want some breakfast?"
I shook my head, and sat on the bed next to him. He had only been there for two days and already I could see how sick he was getting. I ran my hand through his hair and he set down his fork to grab my hand. "Belle, please don't worry so much."
I had nothing to say so instead I pressed my face into his warm chest, reveling in how different it felt compared to Dr. Cullen's cold one. Edward's heart raced, when he felt my tears through his hospital gown. And he hugged me tightly. I focused on his speeding heart, counting the times it pumped.
It wasn't until much later that I realized that the main difference between Carlisle Cullen and Edward Masen's chests was that I hadn't heard a heartbeat from Carlisle.
"Good morning Dr. Love," a creepy forty year old male nurse said winking at Emily as she walked into the hospital that morning.
"Morning Eustace," she muttered picking up her pace towards the room of her first patient in her rounds. Only to stop at the scent of a vampire, and the sight of a golden haired god.
"Hel-lo," Emily purred.
The Doctor turned around, a clipboard in his hands, "Hello, you must be Dr. Love. I'm Carlisle Cullen, it's great to meet you," he held out his hand.
Emily shook it, "you don't remember me do you?"
He gave the girl a strange look before shaking his head, "I'm sorry but no, should I?"
Emily looked at the old man who lay sleeping. Comatose state. "We met back when I was a newborn, you stopped me from killing my family and showed me the animal lifestyle. Of course I had been a real bitch about it seeing as to stop me you dragged me off and tied me up. I only stayed with you for a few days when we finally went separate ways. You said it was my choice how I lived. I got to say though I had full intention of going back to my old ways… but I couldn't. So when I heard a rumour in Alaska that you were working here I had to come… I had to thank you… I had been so ungrateful then and it sucked… so yah, thanks and sorry and all that," she finished off feeling pretty embarrassed.
"Emily Love," he said after a moment, "yes I remember now. I'm happy you stayed with this lifestyle, it really is the better choice."
Emily laughed, "yeah well anything beats killing humans. By the way I met your family yesterday, very nice, you're so blessed."
"Thank you Emily. So from what I've heard you're taking a few of my patients off my hands?"
"Yeah sorry, but you snooze you lose," Carlisle chuckled and shrugged.
"That's quite alright; I had too much work anyways. Here's you clipboard. Mr. Hendrix got his meds this morning and everything all good so that's done."
Emily nodded, "Well then I better get on my next patient. I'll see you later Dr. Cullen," she gave him a brilliant smile, which he happily returned.
"Good day Dr. Love."
"Oh and just so you know Esme has invited us for 'dinner' again!"
Carlisle nodded and waved goodbye to the younger vampire, walking off down a separate hallway. He was quite surprised to find another vampire doctor, not to mention proud. He was glad that he able to save so many human lives by just saving one vampire's life. Life was strange that way though.
The was dreary once more, and the moment I stepped from my truck I heard the complaints of the rain and the clouds and cold. I of course was smiling away at the results of the overcast. No sparkles for me today, no sir.
"Bella!" Alice Cullen was waiting at my locker that morning, a male vampire on her arm.
I sensed him prodding at my mental wall. Obviously this was the pathokinesis. "Hello," I said offering a smile.
"Bella, this is Jasper," she lowered her voice to vampires-only, "he's my hubby."
"It's nice to meet you Jasper, I'm Bella Masen," I held out my hand, which he shook happily.
"It's nice to meet you, Alice hasn't shut up about you since we got back," his southern accent was very clear in his speech.
"Except Edward ignored me of course," Alice rolled her eyes, "anyways we'll see you at lunch," and then she was practically skipping off with Jasper on her elbow.
I had to giggle, that girl was just too much.
In my locker I grabbed my books before heading off to homeroom.
At noon I was stayed behind after class to have a talk with my English teacher who was set on sending my essay on Italian History to the newspaper in Seattle, and Portland. I was trying really hard to come up with a polite way to refuse the offer.
Twenty minutes later I walked down the hallways with my ripped up essay and a smile on my face. But when I arrived in the cafeteria the Cullen's were nowhere to be found. So I sat between Jessica and Angela. "Hey Bella," the kind girl on my left said with a smile.
"What you not sitting with the Cullens today?" Jessica's lame insult roused a bought of laughter from the table, and it was just then that I noticed Alice, Jasper and Rosalie walking in from the far entrance and sitting at their usual table. Alice waved me over.
"Oh sorry, I've got to go," I said.
As I walked off I heard Mike whisper to Jessica, "Good job you scared her off. You suck."
"Hey Bella," Alice patted the seat next to me and I sat down.
"How was your guy's morning?"
They all shrugged and I nodded in agreement. Just then the biggest vampire I had ever seen came and sat next to Rosalie, giving her a peck on the cheek. "Sorry, Eddy was having a hissy fit about how weird you're being Alice, he'll be here in a few minutes," his gaze came to me, "Who are you?"
"Emmett, this is Bella Masen. Bella this is Rose's Emmett. Don't let his size scare you, he's kind of a softy," Alice stuck her tongue out at him and he rolled his eyes.
"Nice to meet you Emmett-"
My voice was caught when I caught sight of the most miraculous I had ever seen. I swear if my heart was still living it would had stopped, along with all my other organs. I stood too quickly, earning weird looks and a hiss from Rosalie. My tray of uneaten food clashed to the floor, and still no sound came from my open mouth. With all my heart I wanted to sing, and cry and scream all at the same time, but I couldn't nothing worked. Nothing moved, I was frozen and I would have paid any amount of money to stay that way for the rest of my life. Everything was perfect, everything was clear. In that exact moment my whole life had meaning again and I knew I would never, ever be without doubt. Without reason. Without love. He is here. Right there. Right in front of me. It was him.
"Uh… Bella?" Emmett's low voice sounded, and I heard Alice smack him.
"Shuuuuussshhh she's reuniting with her long lost love don't ruin the moment!"
"Alice I think you just did…"
I ignored then and finally took a step forward, hoping he'd just spot me already, just turn and see me and know that I'm here and I love him, but he stopped to look at food that I knew he wouldn't eat.
People at other tables started whispering. "Edward," I said in a low voice. "Edward."
Finally he turned and I was met not with the green eyes that I had fallen so deeply in love with, but a deep, rich, gold colour that brought everything into perspective. He had been changed just like me.
I saw the confusion, the recognition and then the confusion once more, and then he walked calmly across the room to me, standing so close that I could breathe in his scent. He dared not touch me. "Isabelle," he said, not breathing.
The kids at the table next to us were also frozen, looking completely intrigued.
"Edward," I sobbed, my face falling into his cold chest.
He wrapped his arms around me and I heard him whisper my name over and over. I was soaring, nothing could knock me down. I had him back.
"Would you two sit down, you're creating a scene," Rose's venomous voice nearly spat at us.
"Rosalie Hale! I swear!" Alice sounded like she wanted to cry.
All the same Edward pulled me to the table and we sat, staring into each other's eyes. "You died." I whispered.
"Your doctor, you remember him?" His voice was like music to my ears and I closed my eyes, smiling.
"Dr. Cullen of course… he saved you."
Edward nodded, "he told me that it wasn't fair that first your mother and my father were never able to be together and then we were being forced apart. So he did it, but when I went back for you years later… you're father had told me that you committed suicide after my death. I couldn't live with myself Belle. I was so lost… but here you are… with me."
I rest my forehead on his and take a deep breath, loving the feeling of air filling my lungs. "I missed you Isabelle Swan," he whispered.
"I missed you to… only thing is, my name is now Isabella Masen," I gave him a goofy smile and he widened his eyes in delight.
I flashed him the ring on my finger, "I mean if this still means something to you."
He took my hand kissed my fingers one by one. "Of course it does. I'm so happy. Come on let's go somewhere," he pulled me up.
"Escape this town for a little while?" I asked with a giggle and he nodded, laughing as well.
"You kids better be at dinner or Alice and Esme will kill you!" Emmett called after us.
We ignored him and ran off into the woods.
