Chapter 14: Carlisle's Confusion

The last few days had gone very well with Kagome's family. Bella and the baby were doing well. Carlisle and Sousuke had a really good talk and were getting along very well. Kagome herself was getting along very well with everyone, especially Rose. She had seemed kind of cold at first, but had been very open and talkative the last few visits. Kagome was becoming fast friends with her. On top of everything Sesshoumaru had called and said he would be arriving tomorrow. She couldn't wait to see him.

Right now though she was on her way to the hospital to see Carlisle at Esme's request. She had called Kagome and asked her to please see him privately. Apparently she was concerned that Carlisle was feeling guilty over leaving her pregnant and alone. He had loved her and he wasn't the type to leave a loved one. She had been concerned because he wasn't acting like himself, and Edward said he was thinking about Sousuke a lot. Though Edward had also called to fill Kagome in while he was out hunting so Esme wouldn't hear.

Kagome sighed as she thought about that conversation. Edward hadn't filled Esme in on the whole issue. He didn't wanted to hurt her, so he called Kagome to explain why Carlisle had been acting different around Esme.

"You have to understand Kagome he just got all his memories of you back, and with that, the feelings. He remembers loving you more than anything, and has been thinking a lot about you." Edward didn't want to mention all the intimate moments he had witnessed through Carlisle's mind. They were so loud and vivid that he couldn't ignore them like he can most people's thoughts. "He misses you. I'm hoping you can remind him that your relationship ended centuries ago."

"Don't worry Edward, I'll get his head straight. I think he needs to talk this out and realize that he loves Esme now." with that said she had gotten in her car. She couldn't have Carlisle ruining his marriage over a relationship that was never going to happen again.

"Hi, I need to see Dr. Cullen please." Kagome said as she reached the front counter where two nurses were on their computers.

"One moment ma'am while I page him." She picked up the phone to call Dr. Cullen to the front. It only took about a minute before he was greating Kagome.

"Kagome, it's a pleasure to see you." he smilled. "Would you like to talk in my office?" He asked hoping to spend some time with her.

"Yes, I would like that." she followed him. Once there they set on the love seat that set against the wall. He also two chairs that set infront of his desk for the patients, and the one for him behind his desk. Sitting at a slight angle to speak to one another.

"Carlisle I wanted to talk to you about everything and see how you have been dealing with it."

"It has been a little difficult to realize I forgot the love of my life and left her alone and pregnant. I keep thinking if I had only remembered you maybe things could have been different." he said as he grabbed her left hand in his right.

"You know that isn't your fault, right? You didn't choose to turn or forget me. I don't want you looking back and blaming yourself for things turning out the way they did." Kagome wanted to reassure him that no blame rested on him.

"You're the love of my life." he told her.

"I loved you deeply as well. It was difficult to move on, but at least I had Sousuke." Kagome smilled, "He was the best gift you ever gave me. Our love created him, and you will always have a special place in my heart."

Carlisle pulled her on his lap, and just held her for a moment. Kagome hugged him back. " I still want to love you." He kissed her softly on the lips. Thinking of how he missed making love to her.

"Carlisle, I know you haven't had the years I had to move on. The thing is you did move on with out even knowing. You love Esme, I know you do. You wouldn't have married her if you hadn't." Looking him in the eyes she asked, "Could you really break her heart like that? The Carlisle I knew would never cheat on his wife, or chase someone else's."

Kagome could tell he had already seen reason, and felt horrible. So she hugged him tightly, and rubbed his back. "It's ok to be a bit confused, just don't lose sight of what or who is important."

" I'm sorry Kagome your right I would always regret hurting her, and trying to ruin your marriage if I didn't let go of the past." He hugged her a little tighter to himself. "Thank you for this chat, I think it helped just to talk things over with you. We really hadn't had a chance to talk alone."

" Yeah, Esme said the same thing. She was sure if I spoke with you that you would feel much better." She smiled at him.

"She asked you to talk to me?" guilt practically radiating off of him as he realized just how much he had been pulling away from her.

"Yes, she was worried that you felt guilty about leaving me. Edward had told her you were thinking about Sousuke a lot. Then he called me and told me it was more than that.

"Edward would know the best. I'll have to thank him for not telling Esme what I had been really thinking. I also have to appoligize to him, and you once again. I am afraid I have been focusing on our more intimate moments. I have probably made him feel really uncomfortable."

Kagome laughed at this, "You know earlier today his aura was very embarrassed even though he appeared to be completely at ease." Laughing harder, "I guess he got an eye full. He really is just like any human teenager walking in on his dad getting layed." Now causing Carlisle to laugh as well.

Raising her laughing face to his, "Your family really loves you, and just wants you be ok." She said giving one last hug before pulling away and standing up to leave.

"They are great, you know. I'm lucky to have them. I suppose I'll see you tomorrow at the house."

"I'll be there before noon, but Sesshoumaru is coming in tomorrow so I'll be leaving after I check on Bella." reaching for the door handle she said, "See ya later."

Kagome left feeling good about Carlisle's aura. Now she needed to get home and get to cooking that fish dinner she promised Charlie.
