Pretty please review! They mean loads!
I woke up the next morning to the sound of my phone, alerting me that I had a text message. I rubbed my eyes, and turned my head to see Carlisle still asleep next to me. A smile crept over my face, he looked so God damn beautiful sleeping. I leaned over him carefully to get my BlackBerry off the bedside table, trying not to wake him. I successfully grabbed my phone, and went to move back to where I was lying to read my text. I nearly got back to where I was lying when I felt Carlisle take hold of my waist, and pull me so I was sitting on top of him.
'Morning beautiful' he softly spoke smiling.
'Well hello there' I whispered back, with a smile on my face. I bent down to kiss him, throwing my phone onto the pillow next to us. Carlisle sat up with me still sitting on his crotch area. He put his hands around my back and our lips finally met. We kissed for what seemed like forever, the most passionate and meaningful kiss we had ever had since we'd been together.
'I'd love to stay here like this forever but I really must go have a shower' I pouted my lips, and folded my arms.
'Fine' I said trying to act like I was sulking. I got off him, and lay back down where I was earlier.
'I love when you're mad Isabella' Carlisle whispered leaning over me before kissing my nose. He got up out of the bed, and walked out of the room stark naked, and laughing to himself.
'Looking good Cullen!' I shouted after him as he left the room, I could feel myself blushing.
'Thanks Miss Swan' he shouted back. I hated slightly that he never called me by my married name..but I can sort of understand why he didn't. I snuggled back under the covers, and picked up my phone to check the text, expecting it to be one of three people; Mom, Dad or Edward asking where I was. I shut my eyes, silently begging it not to be them..not wanting them to ruin my perfect mood. I opened the text, and sighed a sigh of relief, it was a number not in my contacts!
'Bonus' I whispered to myself.
'Hey B! Its been nearly 2 weeks since I last saw you and been expecting that text off you for us to meet up..still waiting on that text. Do you still wanna catch up? X' I read out loud. 'Shit!' I had completely forgotten I was suppose to text Jacob..I knew it was him straight away because he was the only one who ever used to call me B over text and now again face to face.
'Jake? X' I replied, just to be sure it was definitely him.
'Yeah, its me..forgot to say who it was! So how about dinner then?' I didn't reply. I was going to have to speak to Carlisle about this, I mean I didn't want to go if it was going to upset or worry him. I got up out of bed, wearing my pink vest top and underwear. I quickly slipped on my yellow floral skirt from yesterday and walked out of the bedroom door towards the bathroom to speak to Carlisle. I knocked on the door lightly, and entered the bathroom. Just as I walked in he was putting a towel around his waist. He looked up in surprise.
'Well this brings back some memories' he chuckled. Oh, yes! How this whole attraction towards Carlisle first started on my behalf when I walked in on him doing exactly what he was doing now. I tiptoed to reach his lips, kissing him softly on the lips whilst I wrapped my arms around the back of his neck.
'The best thing I've ever done was accidentally walking in on you in here that night, and I don't regret it for the world.' I spoke looking him straight in the eyes at all times, making sure he knew how much I meant what I was saying. He smiled, before kissing my lips, nibbling at my bottom lip before moving to my neck. I began to moan in pleasure.
'Don't' I whispered trying not to moan even more or end up having sex with him again...its not that I don't want to its just that I want to get this discussion over and done with about Jake. I knew exactly how it would go with Edward if I was asking him, and I knew Carlisle would never be violent towards me but with my past I can't always fully trust.
Carlisle stopped and stepped back. He moved a strand of my hair that had fallen loose behind my ear and then took hold of my hands.
'What's up beautiful?' He asked frowning with clear confusion in his eyes. I put my hands on his chest, and looked up into his eyes.
'Come with me..' I said taking his hand and leading him out of the steam filled bathroom. '...on second thoughts go get changed first else I might end up jumping you' I turned winking at him. He grabbed my hands, pulling me into him and wrapping my arms around his back. He slid his hands down my back, putting his hands on my bum.
'Maybe I want you too' he whispered looking down at me and kissing my forehead.
'Well..maybe if you go get changed, and come downstairs, I might jump you after we've talked..' I laughed, and began to walk down the stairs. I stopped midway and turned to look at him, he was still standing there '...and it'll be more fun, I'll get to strip you out of your clothes first' Carlisle's jaw dropped open and he quickly walked to get changed. Well trained I thought to myself, whilst giggling.
I got to the kitchen and put the kettle on and got out two mugs to make some cups of tea. Carlisle walked into the kitchen wearing a pair of jeans, a shirt, a grey jumper and for some reason a scarf. I frowned but refused to even question him. He sat down at the table and I put a mug in front of him but I remained by the kitchen side, with my back towards it and gripping tightly onto the side. I took deep breaths and began to count slowly to ten. I shouldn't be so worried...I just kept thinking of what Edward would do to me if we were in this situation right now. Maybe it would be just a punch, or maybe hair grabbing and my head being whacked against a wall..or being thrown into something. I closed my eyes and shook my head, my grip tightening even more on the side. I opened my eyes, and eyed Carlisle still seated at the table, his eyes never moving from me, clearly concerned in what I was going to say.
'Look...Carlisle...here's the thing...' I began. '...remember Nurse Black from the hospital, when we thought...I had lost the babies?' I asked, placing my hand on my now larger stomach.
'What's he done?' Carlisle was immediately in front of me, with his left hand clenched in a fist, he lifted his right hand to move a piece of my hair but I involuntarily flinched. Carlisle moved away, brushing his hand through his hair, looking rather annoyed. 'You thought I was going to hit you didn't you?' He asked shaking his head.
'I'm s..sorry' I stuttered looking away from him. I was ashamed of myself, I knew he wouldn't hit me but yet I still flinched? 'Look, Nurse Black has been my best friend since I was a little girl, we grew up in the same street, he was like a brother to me...but...but when me and Edward got engaged we drifted apart..he..he didn't agree with our relationship..he knew things that you don't know..always told me Edward wasn't right for me. Always told me I'd end up getting hurt. I guess I should of believed him but I loved Edward then, trusted him with my life.' I sighed. Carlisle put his hands on my shoulders and looked me in the eyes.
'Is..you don't have to tell me this if its going to upset you' he reassured me. I shook my head at him again.
'No..no. I want to.' I whispered. 'Well anyway, he recognised me when we were at the hospital and asked me to have dinner with him to catch-up..more to get the gossip really..he knows your Edwards dad Carlisle, and the thinks these are your babies.' I spoke, taking his hand and putting it on my stomach. 'He text me this morning when you were in the shower asking if I would go still...but I don't want to go if its going to worry you..but I'm going to have to tell him everything..mainly because he's the one doing my scan tomorrow and because well...Edward will be there..' I explained, hoping he would understand. Carlisle lifted my chin up, so I was looking him in the eyes.
'Is, you don't have to ask my permission to go places. I'm nothing like my son, I trust you. You tell me your just friends, I'll believe you. I love you, and being I love you that means I trust you to' I wrapped my arms around his neck, hugging him to me.
'Thank you' I whispered.
'While we're discussing things..Esme is going to be staying at your cottage longer than planned, they've now decided they don't like how they've decorated it and want to re-do it all'
'What?!' I asked absolutely appalled. 'So first that bitch kicks me out of here, and now she's kicking me out of my own place too. I hate her, I'm sorry Carlisle but I bloody hate her' I ranted, turning away from Carlisle and kicking the cupboard door.
'Hey..hey' Carlisle soothed, turning me around and pulling me into him, resting his chin on my head. 'She never comes back here, when she's over there and Alice won't be out of hospital for at least another week because of running tests. So you know what that means don't you?' I shook my head against his chest. 'Well..you can stay here with me..that's if you want to anyway?' I lifted my head up, so I could look at him.
'What do I say to my parents though..let alone Edward when they want to know where I'm staying?' I asked curiously.
'Tell them your staying at a friends?'
'Carlisle..I don't know whether you've noticed this but my only trustworthy friend is your daughter!' I laughed. 'Hold on' I let go of him and ran up the stairs to grab my phone. Carlisle followed me up, to see what my idea was. I quickly dialled my Uncle and Aunts number. It rang twice before somebody finally answered.
'Hello?' The person asked.
'Uncle Garrett!' I nearly screamed down the phone, I hadn't spoken to him in what seemed like years. He lived about a 2hour drive away, but I didn't really get to see or speak to him much because he's always busy.
'Bella!' He shouted back, clearly happy to hear from me. 'Do you want to speak to Auntie Bree?'
'No..no. I just wanted to ask a huge question?'
'Go ahead' he exclaimed.
'I need you and Auntie Bree to cover for me...no questions asked?' I pleaded down the phone.
'Ermm..okay? Should I be worried?' He questioned concerned.
'No, everything is fine! Just if anybody rings or calls round the house for me at yours please just make an excuse to why I'm not there. I assure you everything is fine, I wouldn't lie to you Uncle Garrett. I just need you to say I'm stopping at yours for the next week or so, if possible?' I begged.
'Of course Bella, but don't let anything bad happen!'
'I won't, I promise! Thank you! Love you Uncle Gar!' I shouted happily down the phone.
'Love you to Bells' I hung up, and ran to Carlisle jumping on him.
'Sorted!' I shouted. I quickly rang my dad to tell him I was staying at Uncle Garrett's and Auntie Bree's house, before asking him to pack me a suitcase and promising him I would look after his car..even though it would actually be staying at Carlisle's and I wasn't going anywhere. Carlisle agreed to go pick up some clothes, from Dad's using the excuse that Edward was really busy and that he had to go up near Uncle Garretts anyway. The plan was perfect. All I needed to do now was text Jake, and then after the meal me and Carlisle had the week together again..finally.
'Pick me up from Carlisle's house tonight about 4pm for this meal then? :) x' I text Jake, for some reason Carlisle was beginning to dislike me driving, so it was either Carlisle take us or Jacob pick me up. I think I'd prefer Jake to pick me up..less awkward. My phone went off again almost immediately.
'Sounds great! See you later! x' I read. Carlisle left the house to go get my clothes, so I decided to go check out Carlisle's books in his bookshelf. I ended up choosing a medical study book, grabbing a pen and paper before going to sit on the sofa. I'd always wanted to become a nurse but Edward always talked me out of it..well there's no stopping me now, I thought to myself.
I finally got to the end of the book, after making notes and doing the practice questions and scenarios. I put the book back, and took one of Carlisle's spare folders to put all my work in before slipping it in to one of Carlisle's drawers to hide it from Edward. I looked at my watch and it was already 3pm...Carlisle still wasn't back from my parents. He was only suppose to be going there, getting my stuff and coming straight back but knowing how dad and Carlisle are quite good friends it wouldn't surprise me if they're sitting having a pint right now. I picked up my phone of the side and dialled Carlisle's number in a hope he would answer..I mean I'd need a new outfit to go out tonight I couldn't wear my skirt and vest again.
'Hello...haha gotcha, sorry busy at the moment. Please leave a message after the tone...beeeep' I shook my head, he was such a goof sometimes. I shrugged my shoulders and walked into Alice's bedroom to look for a simple outfit..it was either that or wear my current outfit once again. I filtered through her wardrobe, trying to find something easy and simple, I mean it was only a catch-up with a close friend. I decided on a pair of skinny burgundy jeans, with a pair of black Converse, a white vest top and a rose print burnt out sweater. I quickly combed my hair and put it into a messy bun. I picked up a small black bag, and put my purse, and paracetamol inside. I looked out of the window to see a dark blue Ford Focus parked outside and Jake sitting waiting on the bonnet. I jogged down the stairs picking up my keys on the way down, thankfully I still had my spare key from when I lived with Carlisle and Esme. I locked the door, and walked over to Jake.
'Hey' I smiled giving him a quick hug before climbing inside of the car. 'So where are we off too?' I asked.
'I was thinking our favourite restaurant?' My face lit up instantly.
'The In Place?' I screamed happily.
'Yeah baby yeah!' Jacob laughed. I laughed too. We had so many memories there, I hadn't been there for at least 3 years, it was the last meal we had, had before loosing contact and I hadn't been there since. We pulled up outside and I virtually jumped out of the car, and power walked inside with Jake following behind.
'The usual?' Jake asked. I nodded my head and walked over to get our normal table whilst I waited for Jake to order the food. I quickly took out my phone out of my bag quickly to tell Carlisle I was okay.
'Baby, just to let you know I'm okay and we're at The In Place, won't be long see you soon. Love you xxxx' I clicked send and placed it on the table, knowing he would reply almost straight away. 10 minutes past, and Jake finally came and sat at the table with our food. Jake chose teriyaki chicken and rice, and I had fish and chips with a side salad, the best fish and chips in Forks! I quickly looked at my phone again to see if Carlisle had replied..still no reply that was unusual, I raised an eyebrow looking at the screen with no messages, but I quickly shrugged it off, put my phone in my bag and began to tuck in.
'I'm absolutely starving, I haven't eaten all day' I said, rubbing my tummy feeling a little guilty because of Jellybean and Peanut. I'd nicknamed baby two peanut, it was only fair when baby one had a nickname. Jacob put his knife and fork down on the table.
'Doesn't your husband tell you to eat? Your eating for 3 Bells, you need to make sure you eat for all of your sakes!' Jacob lectured. I shook my head at him, and tutted.
'Just because you're a nurse does not mean you can lecture me Jacob Black' I laughed pointing my finger at him. 'Anyway I'm eating now aren't I? And no, Edward doesn't make sure I eat..I mean I haven't seen him for nearly 3 weeks' I told him, taking another bite of my food.
'Edward?' Jacob questioned frowning, picking up his knife and fork to continue eating.
'Well, yeah. That is who I got married to' I smirked, completely forgetting he thought I was married to Carlisle.
'But..you said you were married to his father' Jake stated.
'Shit..well..about that..' I began. Jacob looked up at me, and I began shuffling under his gaze. 'Look..its a long story Jake'
'I've got time'
'Fine! I'm having an affair! He's not the father of my babies he just said that so he could stay with me in the hospital and Edward has no idea about the affair and I'd like to keep it that way!' I nearly screamed at him, when I noticed an elderly couple look over in our direction. 'Sorry' I spoke, glancing over at them. Jacob turned red, pure anger in his eyes.
'Your what?! Don't you remember how my mother died? Don't you remember what happened to my Dad afterwards and what happened to me, Rebecca and Rachel?' He shouted back. I completely forgot about Sarah, she had died when Jake was 5 and when I was 7. I can't really remember her that well but what I do remember of her is that she was a lovely woman who was always warm and happy to help anybody. We were never told how she died when we younger but as we grew older we learnt that she had died in a major car accident. She had been having an affair with a man named Phil, and was on the way to his house, after Billy found out about the affair. She had gone to a bar, drank a lot of alcohol and then tried to drive to Phil's. She did get to Phil's house but lost control of the car and crashed straight into the house, with scaffolding on..she had died straight away at the scene of the accident. After that Billy committed suicide and Jake and his sisters ended up living with his grandfather William who moved to Forks soon after.
'I'm..I'm sorry Jake but I can't help who I fall for' I stuttered.
'Affairs break people Bella! They ruin lives! Look what it did to my father, let alone to us children! Think about your babies Bella, what will it do to them when they're born? Are you stupid? Did you not learn anything?' He spat. I burst out crying, and ran out of the cafe leaving my remaining food. Jacob got up and ran after me. I got outside, and I felt Jake grab hold on my arm. 'Bella..'
'Don't touch me! Leave me alone!' I screamed at him, snatching my arm away. I ran as far away as I could from the restaurant and Jacob Black. I found a quiet and deserted park. I sat down on the swing, and tried Carlisle's phone again..still no answer. I began to cry even more, what was wrong? Had something happened? I tried his home number and still no answer. There was only one place left to try..mom and dad's place. I dialled the number and almost straight away someone picked up.
'Hello?' It was dad..great now I've got to find an excuse. I cleared my throat, trying to clear the lump.
'H..hi dad. Is Carlisle with you?' I asked.
'Yeah, let me just get him for you. Is everything okay sweetie? Have you been crying?' I could sense the concern by the sound of his voice.
'I'm f..fine dad. I've ermm..just been a bit sick. Normal pregnancy sickness I think' I stuttered thinking an excuse up on the spot.
'Right' he answered, not quite believing me. I heard him pass the phone to Carlisle, and heard murmuring before Carlisle came to the phone.
'Bella?' He questioned. I broke down instantly in tears.
'C..can you pick me up please?' I cried. I heard the sound of keys in the background down the phone.
'Where are you?' He asked immediately.
'At some park near The In Place' I murmured, moving off the swing to sit with my back against one of the fences, so I could hug my knees.
'I'm on my way' I heard a beep sound on the phone.
'I love you..' I whispered through tears but he had already gone.
