Chapter 14

"It's so good to see you again Bella!" Susan said putting a glass of tea in front of me.

"You too," I said with a smile, "Thank you for letting us stay here."

"Bells, it's your home, always will be," my dad said then turned to Susan, "Susan, there's something you need to know about Bella and Edward." Susan looked

at Edward and I, we sat right next to each other with our hands intertwined.

"I haven't properly introduced myself," Edward said, standing and walking over to her, "My name is Edward Cullen, Prince of Denmark."

"What?" Susan said, she didn't have the same response as Savannah and she sounded hurt.

"Susan, he's a Prince and by marriage, I'm the Princess," I paused to let her catch up, "When we get back, we'll become Queen and King of Denmark."

"Why didn't you tell me?" The question wasn't directed to me, but to my dad.

"It wasn't-"

"I told him not to," I lied, "Don't get mad at him, I didn't even tell him when I started dating Edward."

"Bella, we're family, families don't keep secrets from each other," that was the second time in this trip that I had heard that.

"I know, I'm sorry," I said looking down, "For as long as I can remember, it's been just me and my dad, being a family is a new thing for me."

"Why are you taking the throne when you return to Denmark?" Susan asked looking at Edward.

"My father is very ill," Edward said with a faraway look in his eyes. I knew how much his father meant to him, to both of us, Carlisle had been the whole reason

we were even married now, without him Tanya would be Princess of Denmark, not me.

"I'm sorry to hear that," Susan said looking down, that topic sure did put a bad mood in the air, "I will support both of you in everything that happens now, we

will."

"Thank you," Edward said sitting back down next to me. We all stared at each other for a few minutes until my dad finally broke the silence.

"I suppose you want to unpack," he said getting up, "Savannah has taken over the guest bedroom, but your room is just the way you left it."

"Thanks," I said getting up, grabbing my suitcase I headed upstairs with Edward right behind me. I opened the door, instantly feeling a pain to just live here

again, just live here with Edward beside me for all times.

"You remember when I woke you up in here? I was hiding from my life and you said your dad was going to kill me for being in here," Edward said looking

around, I smiled at him. I remembered it clearly, it was a great way to wake up, seeing the man I loved first thing in the morning, now I was going to be waking

up to his perfect face for the rest of my life.

"Yes, how could I forget?" I asked as I began to unpack my suitcase into the dressers.

"I don't know," Edward said looking down at his phone.

"Hey, they'll call if anything happens," I said just a matter of seconds before his phone rang.

"Hello?" his voice was diplomatic but his face was an expression of worry, "Of course, thank you."

"What's wrong?" I asked when he hung up and put the phone back in his pocket, "Edward, is he okay?"

"He's not doing good Bella, the tests came back positive," I waited for him to continue, because I didn't know what that meant, "the cancer is invading his

entire body, he's got a month at most."

"Edward, I'm so sorry, do you want to go back?" I asked rubbing his arm.

"I'll call the airport," Edward said getting up and leaving the room.

"Is everything alright?" Savannah asked walking in just as Edward walked out.

"We need to go back, Edward's father has only about a month left," I said grabbing the clothes that I had just put up and stuffing them back in the suitcase.

"What? But, you just got here," Savannah said with a sad expression on her face.

"Look, we can't stay here, what if Carlisle dies while we're here? Edward would be devastated," I said looking down, "I would be too, Carlisle had done a lot

for us, he's the reason we're together."

"Why can't he go and you stay?" Savannah asked sounding like a four year old.

"He's my husband, where he goes then I go," I said closing my suitcase and walking back downstairs.

"Edward told us, give Esme our best," my dad said kissing my cheek before taking the suitcase to the taxi that was waiting, how did it get there so fast?

"Edward booked the soonest plane, meaning he told who he was and they offered to leave as soon as you two get to the airport."

"I'm so sorry I couldn't stay longer, please come out to Denmark soon, all of you," I said looking back at Susan and Savannah, I gave my dad a final hug before

climbing into the taxi. Edward looked distraught, I squeezed his hand sending him a signal that I would always be here for him, no matter what.

"Are you okay?" I asked when we finally boarded the plane. The plane was empty, except for Edward and I, and that was why I hated people knowing we

were Royal.

Edward looked at me with tear filled eyes and uttered a single word that broke my heart, "No."

"Edward, I don't know what to say," I said honestly, "I love you, you won't be alone through this, and we have to be with Esme too. You have her, I know you

two haven't had the best relationship, but she just wants whats best for you. You're family, a family sticks together."

"I know," I couldn't help but wonder if he had even heard my speech about families. I didn't push the subject anymore, but simple laid my head on his shoulder

and stroked his arm. Edward seemed far away as he kept looking at his phone, glancing outside, and occasionally telling me memories he had of Carlisle. I

didn't know what to do except to just listen and support him through all of this, I didn't really comprehend how he was even managing to talk to me without

crying; if my dad was the one dying then I would have been bawling my eyes out and unable to talk.

"Your Highness's, we have landed," the pilot said over the intercom as we landed.

"Come on Edward," I said feeling like a mother as I grabbed his hand and pulled him in the direction of the exit. He seemed to have lost himself in all this

craziness, I wished that he would just respond to things that I asked him, or just be able to wake up from this nightmare.

"Welcome back Prince Edward," Alec said bowing as we got into the car. I expected Edward to get even worse, if that was possible, as we got closer to the

Palace but instead he stayed the same, with that faraway look in his eyes.

"How is he doing?" I asked Alice when we got to the Palace, she stood outside waiting for me; the minute the car came to a stop, Edward had jumped out and

ran inside.

"Not good, he's been asleep most of the time, he's really weak," Alice told me as we walked inside, "How's Edward?"

"Terrible, he booked our flight the minute he got the call, he hardly said a word the whole flight over," I sighed as I remembered how terrible he looked, "He

occasionally told me memories that he had of Carlisle, but other than that, well, his mind was far away."

"Carlisle's been asking for you," Esme said as soon as she saw me, her eyes were puffy and red, the elegance she had always held had disappeared.

"Okay," I said walking in, the sight was shocking. This man, who was barely 50, looked like he was in his 70's, I heard how his breathing was labored giving the

indication that he was tired.

"Hello, Bella," I fought tears back as I walked over to him, Edward was on the side holding his father's hand tightly.

"I am so sorry," I said not sure what I was apologizing for.

"For what?" He coughed, "This is life, it's my time."

"I know," I said letting a tear escape, "But, you've helped us so much, what are we going to do without you?"

"Be there for each other, you have each other, cherish each other," Carlisle said, instinctively I put my hand on Edward's shoulder, he glanced up at me and

struggled to put a small smile on his face.

"Are you tired love?" Esme asked sitting next to Carlisle.

"Yes."

"We'll leave you to rest," Edward said getting up, leaning down he kissed his father's forehead, "I'll make you proud."

"I have no doubt," Carlisle said with a weak smile. We walked out of the room, once we were out it was like someone had opened the floodgates. Esme began

to cry as did Edward, they held each other for support, I walked over and joined them in tears, because that's what a family does.
