Chapter 11: Carlisle's Suprise
At the same time as Kagome was sitting down to a family dinner Carlisle Cullen was walking through the door to his house. He had just come back from the hospital and had brought some supplies for an I.V. drip for Bella hoping that would help some. What he found when entering though was not what he had expected.
Carlisle walked to the kitchen where he heard Bella's heart beating to see her having dinner. Not only that, but she looked like her old self, perfectly healthy. She was sitting there eating rosemary chicken, and a small salad. She had a glass of coke next to her plate that she had just put down as well. Edward on one side and Rose on the other both with smiles on their faces watching her happily. Esme was also there by the bar watching.
"Well, this is certainly a welcomed suprise." he said as he walked further into the room. "You look wonderful Bella, does this mean you are no longer feeling ill?"
Bella shook her no while smilling since she had just put a piece of chicken in her mouth. Edward answering for her, "No, she's feeling great now."
"Well this is wonderful news, lets hope this keeps up."
"It will as long as her sister keeps seeing her." Edward said as he watched Carlisle closely.
"She has a sister. How come I didn't know, and why didn't she come to the wedding?" a now curious Carlisle asked.
"I never mentioned her to anyone." a guilty Bella responded. "She's five years ol...she was born five years before me." Bella corrected herself seeing as Kagome has a lot more years on her than five. "I've always been really jealous of her." Looking to Rose she continued, "She's like an exotic Rose with dark hair. Though she's probably the sweetest person you could meet." Bella took a big breath before admitting to something majorly embarrassing. "I was afraid of Edward meeting her, even if Kagome would never do anything to hurt me. People just meet her and love her." She was now blushing deeply.
Carlisle's eyes were understanding as were Esme's, and Rose's. "How could you even think that I would leave you like that?" Edward softly asked.
"Well, you left once, and..." Bella stopped for a moment. Leaving Edward feeling horribly quilty about how he had left her before.
"Well, you saw her." Bella said. "A pretty woman isn't going to change the love or attraction I have for you."
Emmett came walking into the kitchen then, "Pretty, she's hot with a capital H." he said receiving a glare from both Edward and Rose. Which caused Bella to laugh.
"I still can't believe what a lucky bastard Car..." he was stopped there by a smack to the gut from Rose and Esme's words.
"Carlisle there is a lot we have to discuss. You see Bella's sister isn't exactly human." She glaced at her children and continued, "She came on Cheif Swan's request, since apparently he knows of her powers."
"She has powers? What sort of powers?" Now his interest was really peaked. "Is she a vampire as well?"
"No she is an immortal priestess." Esme supplied looking for anything that would might pass over her husband's face.
"Why does that sound so familiar?" he wondered aloud. "I know I've heard that term before, but I can't seem to remember where.
That caused them all to look at him. Edward was more than aware of everyone's thoughts, aside from Bella of course. Esme was wonderiing why he didn't remember. While Emmett was wondering how the hell anyone could forget a woman like Kagome. It was Alice who had of course heard everything from her room that made the most sense.
"I think Alice is on to something." He said aloud "We all know not all vampires remember their human lives. Look at her for example. She obviously didn't have the best childhood, the one person that loved her, and she probably loved back, she can't remember." Everyone's attention was on him at this point. Alice and Jasper coming into the room.
"What if we vampires block out what might cause us pain or sorrow. It's already a huge change, and shock. What if we block out things that would make it worse on us, hurt us more."Edward explained.
"That is one explanation, but what has this got to do with Bella's sister?" Carlisle was very curious as to what had happened while he was at work.
"Bella's sister is far older than her, or us." Carlisle's eyes widening slightly at this information. "She time traveled to the past and has lived through the ages." At these words Edward could see Carlisle's thoughts drift to a long forgotten memory of a woman Edward recognized as Kagome with her back to him.
Esme decided to let Edward continue the explanation knowing he would read her thoughts. So Edward plunged on with how Kagome had come over and figured out what was wrong with Bella and the baby. Carlisle was beyond suprised at the simple yet over looked answer. Edward explained about the gods and demons, and again watched as Carlisle seemed to remember more.
Carlisle had visions of a beautiful woman walking around his home, cooking, shopping, and lying in bed sleeping with her back to him. Although it wasn't till Edward said her name was Kagome that he got the first full view of her face, and everything clicked into place. He now remembered everything he felt and knew about Kagome.
"Kagome." He wispered the name so quietly that Bella didn't even hear. As his mind was flooded with long forgotten memories of the woman he had loved more than anything in the world. He was so in love with her, and couldn't stop the feelings from flowing to the front of his mind. "How could he possible have forgotten her." he thought as he remembered the first time he made love to her.
His father was a very religious man, and as his son Carlisle was raised to wait till marriage. Though when Kagome came into his life he couldn't get enough of her. He would bring her flowers almost daily, and told her he loved more than once a day. She was equally as loving with him, and had pretty much moved in with him after only a month. She was an excellent cook, and made practically all his meals from then on. Making love to her was just another way to show their love and they did show it quite often. He didn't see why he needed to wait till marriage, he was going to marry her no matter what. He would never leave her, and couldn't wait to start a family with her.
"Carlisle." Edward called to get his attention.
Edward's voice brought his attention back to his son. "Sorry." he apologized to him knowing Edward had witnessed everything he thought about. He knew he made Edward feel uncomfortable seeing him and Kagome making love. With all the times they were together there were a lot of memories Edward had viewed. He'd obviously just seen far more of his sister-in-law than a man should see.
"I just remembered everything." he continued to explain to the rest of his family. "So, how is she?" Carlisle said calmly, but felt more nervous than he ever remembered being.
"She's good. She has her two youngest boys with her as well. One looks about twelve or thirteen even though he's three hundred and forty. The older one looks about fourteen though he's going to be three hundred and forty-three this December." Edward was easing into telling him. "The thing about Sousuke, that's the oldest of the two." Edward took a breath he didn't need, "He looks just like you."
Carlisle was very glad he didn't need air to live because right now he didn't think he could remember how to. Her oldest son looked like him, three hundred and forty-three years. Had he really left her pregnant, and alone. She obviously got by or she wouldn't be here now. Edward had mentioned a younger son, so she had also found someone. A part of him was jealous at the thought that someone else had Kagome. She had been his, but at the same time he loved Esme greatly. It was probably the fact that all these memories were just reawakened. Now he was dealing with the idea of the love of his life moving on with someone else. Not that he would've wanted her to be alone forever when he just disappeared on her. Though now he desperately wanted to see her and the boy they made together.
"She had dinner plans with Charlie, and had to leave." Edward explained after hearing his thoughts. "She invited us over to her place after we filled you in on everything. She didn't want to shock you when you saw Sousuke."
"Yeah, man that would have been a pretty big shock." Emmett laughed, "He looks like a teenage version of you."
Edward had continued to tell him how Kagome returned and found out what had happened to him. How she had sought vengeance on the vampires, and tried to find him, but had to go back to Japan. By the time he had finished filling Carlisle in on everything he knew so far Bella had finished eating and gotten dressed in something nicer that Alice got her.
"Is everyone ready?" Carlisle asked. They were going to go in two vehicles. Edward, Bella, Emmett, and Rose in the Volvo. Carlisle, Esme, Alice, and Jasper went in Carlisle's Mercedes.
Edward thought it was good Carlisle had Jasper to calm him down if needed as he got behind the wheel of his car.
"Was Carlisle alright, Edward?" Bella asked. She had noticed that Carlisle had not been himself, and took a little longer to respond to questions. "Yeah." He thought for moment how, "He just really loved your sister. Not to mention he found out she had his child, a child he really wanted when they were together."
"Come on Eddie, we don't want Carlisle to beat us there let's get moving." Emmett always one to try and lighten the mood.
"Don't worry I'll catch up and beat them." "Yes! I love to race!" Emmett cheered.
