0Forever May Not Be Long Enough

Chapter Thirteen: Next Day

Author's Note: I know that I made Edward more powerful than what he was in the book. But if you ask me this new power is kind of cool.

Carlisle's POV

'So this is what it is like to have peace and warmth' I thought and exhaled with a sigh.

Heaven was beautiful, and I haven't even opened my eyes yet. I don't think I ever will either, it is so quiet and peaceful I think I will lie here for all eternity.

That is when I heard a movement to my right, opening my eyes I see Edward coming right toward me.

I fall out of the bed that I was obviously lying in trying my best to get away from him.

"It's alright," he told me. "No one will ever hurt you again I can promise you that."

"What the hell are you doing here? How did you get to hea…" that is when I trailed off and realization hit me like a ton of bricks I wasn't dead.

He obviously was reading my thoughts because he said, "you are now in the home of Cynthia and Jason Harper. And you are under their protection so you don't have to worry about being attacked anymore."

"But you were the one who orchestrated the attack on me."

"I must confess I was the one that asked my mother to send her guards to you to drive you out of here. You got to believe me, I never told her to send the guards there to kill you that I would never do against someone I love."

I snorted in disbelief; did this fool actually think that I would believe him for one second? "And I should believe you because?"

"I was the one who stopped the guards from attacking you!"

"After you sent them there to kill me," I was so angry right now I could probably blow a fuse.

"Well I guess we are even now huh? You kick me out of your house, and don't bother to show you face. Then you get beat up by my mother's guards, but at least I had the decency to show up and stop them from killing you."

"How many times do I have to tell you, I had nothing to do with what my children and ex-wife did to you?"

"Like I fucking care, the only real reason you are alive is because I didn't want to start a war between your family and mine. So you can just take your ass back to Forks Washington were you belong."

"Is that what you really want me to do? Fine I will go. But know this if I leave here without you, you will never be able to see your child. This I promise you."

"God you are still on that aren't you."

"I am still on it, because it is true. You are the one who can read minds why don't you search my mind for a lie."

"You are willing to open your mind up to me?"

"If that is what it takes to get you to quit calling me a liar."

He let out a noise of annoyance, before stepping closer to me.

"Are you sure you want me to do this?"

I nodded, "then he said just try to relax."

Then he put both of his hands against my temple, and my very life flashed before my eyes.

I saw everything from me being turned, to studying to become a doctor to turning my children even me having sex with Edward.

To my almost attack scene in the forest, where I almost killed a few people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Then finally we got to the part with Nashoba and Hosea, and Edward stopped going through my mind and watched as it played out before his very eyes.

I watched as his face went from, surprise to shock to horror and then he staggered back confusion written all across his face.

"Hhhow is this even possible?" he stammered.

"I don't know I told him honestly, but it is a miracle and we should cherish it."

Next thing I know I am gathered up in his arms, and he is holding me weeping piteously but I was not one to hold pity especially not after what he did to me.

So I pushed him away, "from what I have been hearing from you in the last twenty-four hours you don't want me or my baby. So why are you acting differently now?"

"Oh god Carlisle I didn't know! I swear I didn't, how could I know something like that was real and could really happened. And you were telling the truth about, what happened that night that your family put me out. I am so sorry for not believing you in the first place please forgive me."

"To be completely honest right now, I ain't holding any forgiveness in my heart. Especially not after you sent them goons over to my hotel room to scare me off as you say but I seriously doubt that, I think you sent them to kill me."

"I didn't send them there to kill you, I swear it on my real mother's grave."

I snorted in disbelief, and I should believe him because? Oh I forget he had a change of heart, and instead of letting them kill me he saved me. How can I possibly look past that and forgive him.

"Okay what do I have to do, to get your trust back again?"

"Nothing," I told him pushing past him on my way out the door.

He gave me a puppy dog look, that was begging me to take him back but I wasn't in the mood for that right now. That look would have worked just a few months ago, but things are different now and we can't go back to how it used to be.

"I think that it would be best if we go our separate ways. For we have both experienced some hurt in our lives that is just colliding with the other person hurt and it is doing no good to either of us. For this much I know, hurting people hide their hurt, hurting people run from their hurt and hurting people hurt others."

"But what about the child?" he asked.

"You can come and see him or her, anytime just give me like a twenty-four hour notice before you show up. Now if you will excuse me, I need to get back to my family."

Edward looked like he was on the verge of tear, but to be honest I didn't really care not anymore. I just wanted to get back home to my family as soon as possible.

"My father went and got your bags from the hotel room, and fixed the door so it wouldn't be charged to your account. They were brought into my room but I put them over in the closet over there. May I ask how you are getting home?"

"I am going by plane which is the fastest route for me home."

"Okay I will see you later hopefully."

"How about you don't call at all for the next few weeks, don't write don't try to track me down if I need you I will call you."

"Can I be there for the baby's birth?"

"I don't know yet, we will see."

Than he grabbed his things, and walked out of my life possibly forever I made up my mind right there to win him back whatever it took.

It may take time for time heals all wounds right? But I swear that on everything I love me and Edward is going to be together for all eternity.

For time is all we have right?
