A/N: Hey all, like 12 hours later and I have all the reviews I need to continue on. Thank you!
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight because I am not Stephenie Meyer, that makes sense! Doesn't it?
Esme POV, 2 Months Later (speeding up time a little):
I just lay here in a state of nothingness. It's all I do, all I want to do. Even time can't mend what has been done. It's too late now, and nothing will ever be the same. I listen to the doctors as they talk. They are suggesting that I be transferred to Forks General Hospital, because they just had a bed opening there. What would Forks do for me? I mean, closer to where I used to live, and maybe closer to my kids. I heard something else that a nurse had said that causes me a lot of pain. My children think that I am dead.
"We're moving you over to the stretcher now, Esme." one of the paramedics said.
I just nod my head and then the move me to the stretcher. I am wheeled through the hospital, and to the ambulance bay. Loaded back onto the ambulance, and the journey to Forks begins.
It is a very boring three hour ride, the paramedic tried to make conversation with me a few times but I just gave him a blank stare.
Soon we arrive at the hospital, and I am taken in there and up to the mental wards. A nurse just finished taking my vitals as the most gorgeous man walks into my room. My heart rate quickened and I stare with wide eyes. He's absolutely gorgeous…
Wait Esme, this is probably your doctor, and is most likely married, or just like the most of the other men out there. Most of them you can't trust.
Maybe you can trust him though…
No, what am I THINKING?! It must be the new surroundings, yes, I blame that.
"Hello Esme." The doctor says. "I'm Dr. Carlisle Cullen, I'll be your doctor for your stay here at Forks General. I would say that I hope you have a good stay here, but being in a hospital isn't really a good thing."
I smile just slightly at his introduction, it was rather amusing to me actually. Carlisle Cullen, eh? That's a very…different name. Then again, this comes from the woman named Esme.
I don't respond to him though, it's to soon to trust someone. He gives me another gentle smile and leaves. Muttering something that sounds like 'Evenson…I wonder…' then 'Maybe I should ask Bella, Jasper, and Rosalie…'
Bella, Jasper, and Rosalie?
Carlisle POV:
I head home after checking on my newest patient, she was just slightly catatonic, but I got a bit of response from her. A very tiny smile. This woman was incredibly beautiful, my heart rate definitely increased when I saw her. What the heck, Carlisle! You're acting like a love struck teenage boy for gods sake! Her name seems familiar though… so the first thing I am going to do when I get through the door is ask Bella, Rosalie, and Jasper what their mothers name is, and what she looks like. I never did ask them that. I got home and sought out the three of them.
"May I talk to you three for a moment?" I ask.
"Yes, of course." says Rosalie.
"I got a new patient in the mental health wards today." I begin carefully.
"Uh, okay?" says Bella, giving me a very weird look.
"Her last name is Evenson, and I know you're mother is supposedly dead. I just wanted to ask what her name was though."
"Her name was Esme." answers Jasper.
Woa.
"Okay, well what did she look like?" I ask.
"Why are you asking us this?" asks Bella. "The last name is probably just coincidence, our mother is dead."
"Could you just please answer my question?"
"She had caramel coloured hair and blue eyes." says Rosalie.
I froze. No, it can't be? Or can it?
~ Flashback~
"Carlisle, the new patient should be arriving soon." one of the nurses informs me.
"Alright, I'll just take another look at her file then." I say.
I go through a tonne of papers on my desk, finally locating the right one. It was faxed from the mental health unit at Seattle General Hospital a few days ago.
Patient Name: Esme Anne Evenson.
Reason For Mental Health Issue: Abused by her husband for 17 years, one night was nearly killed by him. Patient often goes through catatonic like 'phases' and doesn't respond to anyone or anything. Smiles or laughs at mention of her three children that believe she is dead.
I continue to read all the different things, this patients case doesn't seem so bad. She'll need time, but she certainly isn't going to be 'insane' forever. If only the attempted suicides would stop…
Soon the nurse has Esme settled into her new room, so I decide to go and meet her now. What I saw nearly made my heart go in my throat, she was beautiful. Caramel coloured hair, and vibrant blue eyes. Whoever did this to her was a sick minded psychopath.
~ End Flashback~
"Carlisle?" Jasper asks, pulling me from my thoughts.
" I believe your mother is my new patient." I say finally.
I also think I'm in love with her…
Okay, now that is just weird Carlisle. Get it together man!
"Uh, that can't be possible. She is suppose to be dead." Bella says.
"I don't think she is though, because she's right back there, ten minutes away, in the mental health wards in the hospital."
"We won't believe it until we see it." Rosalie says stubbornly.
"You can go and see in a couple of days then." I say.
"Fine." says Jasper.
"Alright, I'll leave you three alone now, this must be hard to take in."
"Yea you got that one right." says Bella "It's been three months and then all of the sudden you tell us that your new patient in the mental wards is our dead mother."
"You'll see in two days time that I am not lying, I would never lie to you."
With that I leave the room. Obviously the children will be stubborn until they see for themselves. I still can't believe I just experienced love at first sight…and with a patient in the mental wards. Not to often that that happens. Am I going insane? Maybe dealing with six children has finally driven me off the edge.
Or maybe I really did just fall in love with someone again.
A/N: Ha! I bet you guys never thought it was going to happen! Well it did, so yay! Like I said thought, this isn't just going to be a wave of a magic wand and a fairy godmother coming and then BAM they are in love. It doesn't work that way. As my Youth Pastor says: Good things come for people who are patient. Oh and after more discussion some of my friends, and my very close friend who is totally awesome (Pam :D). I decided that in WAY later chapters, the kids will get together to. This is now a FINAL decision. No turning back this time.
7 reviews for the next chapter, please.
