Hello all! Sorry this took so long to get to you all, I am fighting a nasty bug at the moment. Took some Advil, drank some tea and this is what you get. It's short and sweet. Hope you enjoy.

Carlisle and Edward – Sticky notes

"What's with the sticky notes, dad?"

"What do you mean?" Carlisle looked at Edward with eyebrow raised.

Edward crossed his arms over his chest and leaned back into the chair. "I think it's time to get a blackberry or an iphone or something. It would make your life a lot easier."

Carlisle laughed.

"Nuh uh. Nope. Not a chance." He replied as he continued to glance over his charts. Edward started reading the sticky notes that were attached to everything on Carlisle's desk.

"Look, you even have one stuck to your coffee cup." Edward pointed out in amazement.

Carlisle looked up at his son in frustration. "Edward, it's my system, okay? You've got your system, I've got mine. Now leave me the hell alone so I can finish up here. Doesn't your shift start soon?" Carlisle asked dismissively.

Edward pulled out his iphone dramatically and began scrolling.

"Hmmm, let's see. Well according to my iphone here, I am due to start in an hour." He winked at Carlisle and smiled smugly.

"Great, I have to put up with you for another hour then?" Carlisle said under his breath.

Edward chuckled and started fiddling with his iphone.

"Just how much did that contraption cost ya, huh?" Carlisle raised his eyebrows and then spoke again before Edward had the chance to respond. " Yeah, that's what I thought." He held up a pad of sticky notes. "See this...$3.99 at Staples." Tossing it down on his desk, Carlisle smiled triumphantly.

Edward rolled his eyes.

"Oh yeah, well what happens when one of your little sticky things falls off and gets lost, you're screwed aren't ya? What do ya do then?" He challenged.

Carlisle paused long enough to look up at his son again. "Never happens. My stickies are fool proof." He tapped on the note that was stuck to his coffee cup it said 'dinner with Esme at 6 at Eclipse' and smiled smugly.

"Huh, well that's kind of funny because I just talked to mom and she said she would be in Seattle tonight for an ASID convention." Edward challenged again.

Carlisle laughed under his breath then pointed to the sticky note that was stuck to his FarSide calendar.

Edward squinted to read the note...'ASID convention Saturday'.

Huh...today is Thursday.

" Maybe I heard her wrong." Edward thought aloud.

"Yup, maybe you did." Carlisle chuckled as he tapped on his beloved pad of sticky notes.

Edward sighed and continued to play on his phone.

"Well, one of these days you are going to have to get with the times, dad. People don't use those antiquated methods anymore. You'll be left in the dust."

Carlisle just rolled his eyes. "What ever did people do before cell phones and text messaging? How did anyone survive?" He chuckled.

"Stubborn ass." Was Edward's reply.

Carlisle laughed as he started closing up folders and stacking them on his desk.

"Well... this discussion has been extremely stimulating, son, but I have a date with a beautiful lady. Can't be late." He said as he snatched the sticky note from his coffee cup and waved it infront of Edward's face.

Edward just huffed and continued playing a word game on his phone.

Before exiting his office, Carlisle paused. "Oh, and son?" Edward looked up at Carlisle.

"You better take a look at the pink sticky note on the lamp there in the corner of my desk." Carlisle smirked, grabbed his coat and left the office.

A few minutes passed before curiosity got the better of Edward and he got up to cross the room. Bending over, he read the words that his father scribbled on the pink note...'Edward and Bella's anniversary'.

"Shit!" Edward exclaimed as he pulled up the calendar on his phone.

He didn't have his and Bella's anniversary entered.

"Fuck!"

Edward quickly typed it in and saved it.

"Thanks for saving my ass, dad." He chuckled. "Touche'"

Edward stood there looking around for a minute and then glanced at his watch.

Half hour before rotation starts.

Popping a piece of gum into his mouth and hanging his stethoscope around his neck, Edward shifted back and forth from foot to foot in contemplation. Sighing, he took one last look around and headed for the door...stopping first to grab a pad of sticky notes from his dad's desk and quickly stuffing it into his pocket.

Chuckling to himself, Edward shook his head as he hit the light switch and headed out to work.
