Chapter 7: Carlisle's P.O.V.
After three heart operations, removing three kids tonsils out and stopped a man from having a heart attack, I was ready to go home to my family. I had just pulled into the driveway when I smelled strawberries and kiwis. Bella, I thought to myself. As I got out of my black mercedes, the scent hit me full force. My beautiful wife and mate came down the steps and through her arms around me.
"Hello, dear!" I say, kissing her lips then her forehead. As I greeted her; a girl with long, straight blond hair and blue eyes. Gracefully came down the porch steps.
"Bella?" It sounded more like a question then a statement. I let go of my mate and walk forward a few steps. Once again the smell of strawberries and kiwis surrounded me like a blanket.
"Bella!" I say again, this time not a question. A smile appears on her lips and she jumps into the air, I catch her in mid air and swing her around. and around, as if she weighed nothing. Well for a vampire she does.
"Yes daddy it's me." Was her reply.
"Where is your sister?" Weird they're never apart. She puts her head in her hands and starts to sob.
"I...Don't...K...Know...Where...Amy...I...is...d...daddy..." She said in between sobs. I wrapped my arms around her and whisper in her ear, "Shh baby girl, it's ok." I pick her up and we go inside and sit on the couch in the living room.
"I haven't seen her in 100 years, or so. The last time I talked to her she said she was in Jasper, Alabama." She said.
"Why don't you go give her a call." My wife asked. We both looked at Bella. Just then we hear the sound of cars coming into the driveway. As soon as Rose, Emmett, Edward, Alice, and Jasper step out of their cars Bella's appearance changes. She has straight, long brown hair with chocolate brown eyes.
"Oh! Hey dad, looks like you beat us home" Rose says with her arms full of human food. "This is Marie, she helped us with our wedding in 1935." She looks at Bella/Marie. We walk into the house and sit in the living room. Rose and Emmett on the love sit, Alice, Edward and Jasper on the couch. While Esme's in the kitchen putting away the food, that we won't be eating.
"Marie, why don't you go to school with us since you're planning on staying for a while?" Jasper asked my daughter, who was sitting on the floor next to his feet. She turned her head to the side considering it.
"Sure why not!" She said smiling.
"But first I'm going to go out of town for a day or two, there's someone i need to see first. When are you guys starting?" she asked.
"we start tomorrow since it's the start of a new week." Alice said speaking for the first time since they got home.
"Ok. I'll let you guys go first and then I'll make my entrance. I'll let you guys have ya'lls moment to shine." she said.
I'm going to try to find Amy, dad. She should be here. I heard a voice in my head.
Of course she should. Be safe and be careful! The both of you! And your shield has gotten powerful, I'm so proud of you sweetheart! I told her. She's just like her mother! She smiles as she's reading my thoughts.
Thanks dad we will. Oh, and I'm blocking Edwards powers. He's not going to hear this conversion.
"...I think we should... darling have you heard what I've been saying at all?" Jasper asked Bella, in his southern twain voice. Bella looked up and said, "Sugar I just happened to have spaced out, could you be so kind as to repeat yourself." She said through her lashes. I never in my life as a vampire have seen anyone swoon as much as Jasper did to Bella, and let me tell you it was a sight to see. He just stood there like a fish out of water.
"Ummm...Ummm." was all he was capable of saying at the time. Then the whole room was filled with laughter.
"Since Carlisle is home why don't we finish our conversation from earlier?" Rose asked. Turning to look in Bella's directions. Bella's hand went to her lap and she looked down at the ground.
"...Or not..." Rose said quietly that Bella couldn't hear. Bella had a soft smile on her face; looking at everyone in the room.
"For now all I'm gonna say is that I knew Carlisle when I was a little girl." Bell said, being cryptic.
"What time was that? Cause we knew you since 1935." Emmett asked.
"It was a very long time ago." Was all she said. With that the subject was dropped.
As if someone was calling her, she got up and walked to the big opened window. As we were talking the moon and the stars came out. I looked at my cell phone for the time, 1:00 A.M. As I walked over to the window, a shooting star shot across the night sky.
"Just wish on a shooting star and we will always find each other..." she said. Lost in thought; just low enough for me to hear.
"Since it's one in the morning, I'm going to go look for my friend." Bella said.
"Wait, I want to go with you." Jasper said. Bella turned so quick that if she was human she would have fallen. When I looked into his eyes I saw the look of a man who has just found his mate and is about to lose her.
Daddy he's my mate! Well she knows now.
Yes Bella, what are you going to do? His going to have to go because he just found out your his mate! I said.
"Of course you can go sugar." She said.
"I'll give you a few minutes to pack." He was up the stairs before she was could finish what she was going to say. Four minutes later he was down the stairs.
"Ok then let's go. Bye ya'll. We'll be back as soon as we can." They said as they kissed and hugged us good-bye. We heard Emmett's jeep roar to life and back out of the driveway. Just then Emmett's phone beeped.
"We are talking your jeep cause it's safer than my bike." He said out loud. He groaned and sat his phone down.
"Alice their mates aren't they?" Rose asked. Alice's eyes got glassy and she zoned out.
"Yes, Rose they are." The whole room was filled with cheer.
"Have they figured it out yet?" Esme asked. Coming out of the kitchen. I didn't say anything, so I don't give anything away.
"Yes he knows, that's why he asked her if he could come along." Edward said.
"But does Marie know?" I ask. Playing along although I already knew the answer.
"Dose Marie feel the same way? Oh I hope she does. That poor boy has been without a mate for so long." Esme said taking my hand and kissing me on the check.
"I don't know I can't get a read on her, Alice can't see her too." Edward said. I tried not to smile when Edward said that. Her shield has been getting stronger. I hope she has not had a run in with the Volturi. I Know how Aro gets when he finds a new "Treasure" as he likes to call them. I hope he hasn't found Amy.
"I wonder if Jasper can read her emotions." Alice said.
"I doubt it. Her powers are pretty amazing." Emmett and Rose said at the same time. We talked more about Marie and Jasper. Before we knew it a new day had arrived, and it was time for me to go to work and for the kids to go to school.
"Bye sweetheart." My beautiful wife said and kissed me goodbye.
It was the second week in forks and there was still talk about me and my family. And when the town find outs that there's two more new people and they have the Cullen last name. Well there will be more than talk.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed chapter 7.
