A/N: Heyy, so here's the next chapter. I have decided that due to my pathetic college timetable, I can write on a Wednesday and a Thursday as well as the weekend. I'll update as and when I can as I'll be starting to get assignments soon. Thanks to my beta, and to Sobriquett. Enjoy the chapter.
Bella's POV
They dismissed us and we walked out of the room, when we were out of the room I jumped on top of Jasper and hugged him so tightly.
"We did it." I whispered.
"We did indeed, Darlin'." Jasper said.
We left the castle, and made our way back to the hotel quickly. Jasper showered while Carlisle and I sat in our room.
"You did well today Bella. I'm proud of you." He said.
I lent over and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek, "Thank you dad." I said to him.
"Bella, I know I'm not your real father but." I interrupted him
"Carlisle. You and Esme might not have made me and gave birth to me, but your my parents in every way that counts."
"Thank you Bella. You don't know how much that means to me," He said.
"It's the truth. Would you rather I lie to you and say that I agree you're not my real father because I won't. In my eyes you are my real father. Sure your name isn't Charlie, but you and Esme have given me more support and stability then Renee, Phil and Charlie ever gave me."
He kissed the top of my head and we hugged for a while longer.
"Do you think it'll work?" I asked.
"What?"
"The hospital, I don't want to do all of this for it all to fail. I just can't bear to disappoint any of you and if it does fail it'll be on my shoulders." I said quietly, but I knew that Carlisle could hear me.
"You won't disappoint us Bella, it's something we all want to do, so if it fails we all do." He said.
"Okay, thanks Dad. Love you." I said quietly. I hardly tell Esme and Carlisle I love them.
"Love you too sweetheart." He said and kissed the top of my head.
Jasper came into the room seconds later.
"Hey, bathroom's free for you Bells," he said.
"Thanks Jazz, I'll go in now." I stood up and kissed him on the lips before entering the shower.
I showered quickly, washing my hair and body before getting out.
I got dressed quickly and walked into the bedroom, when I entered I found Carlisle on the phone to Esme, while quickly packing his bag, and Jasper on the phone to Emmett.
I walked in and got my phone out, and dialled Renesmee's number.
She picked up 3 rings later.
"Hey Mom," She said.
"Hey Honey, you okay?"
"I miss you," She said.
"Miss you too. We're going to be coming home soon, we'll be home tomorrow hopefully." I said.
"Okay. How was it?"
"It was great, we got it. We'll talk more about it when we get home okay?"
I looked around the room and found that Jasper and Carlisle were ready for going.
"Ness, I gotta get going we're leaving soon." I said to her.
"Okay, bye mom, be safe."
"Will do. You too."
I closed the phone and got my stuff together when we were ready for going.
"Ready?" Jasper asked.
"Yup," I said, and picked up my bag as we exited the room. We walked down the stairs to check out. When that was all over we left the hotel and go into the car. Carlisle again at the wheel and we made our way to the airport.
When we arrived, we checked in, and made our flight easily enough. We spent the flight mostly in silence, only talking about what happened in Volterra and what was to come.
We arrived early in the morning, and made our way back to the house. When we arrived everyone was waiting outside for us. Alice must have seen us.
When we got out of the car Renesmee jumped into my arms.
"I missed you, Mom." She said. I kissed her forehead,
"Missed you too," I whispered. Jacob whisked me into a hug and held me for ages.
"Hey Bells. It's been boring without you."
"Thanks Jake," I laughed and Rosalie pulled me into a hug.
"Never. Leave. Me. With. Them. Without. You. Again." She said each word individually.
"Okay Rose. Promise."
Emmett was next and he pulled me into one of his bear hugs.
"Bellsy! Missed you squirt"
"Missed you too brother-bear." I said and hugged him tighter.
I went to Esme next and pulled her into a hug.
"So glad your home Bella." She said.
"Thanks Mom," I said.
She gasped.
"I love you." I whispered into her ear, loud enough for her to hear me only.
"I love you too sweetheart."
I said a quick hello to Edward and Alice and made my way into the house.
We all sat around the dinner table awaiting the news.
"Okay, so we went to Volterra and Aro has given us his permission and $10,000,000. He wants updates on what's to happen with the hospital." I said.
"So we're going to do it?" Esme said.
"Yeah, I guess we are."
We spent the rest of the morning, making plans on the building and area. We quickly found the perfect area and we found that we have to build the hospital itself. Esme and Carlisle got stuck into plans for the building, Edward and Alice were looking into the future for stock markets and looking for business's that will become our sponsor as we can't only have the Volturi, or it will look a tad weird.
The rest of us were getting unpacked, and went hunting.
When we arrived back at the house, I found Carlisle on the phone to some building contractors, and Esme hunched over building plans that she drew up herself.
I walked over to her and hugged her.
"Hey Mom. Anything I can do?" I asked her.
"Sure, you can help me plan where all the rooms will go." She said, and we spent the rest of the afternoon hunched over the plans making changes where they need to go. We found ourselves on Esme's laptop, 3d'ing all the plans and making al the plans, with a decroating tool on it also, so we can see how the hospital will look in the end.
The hospital will have 7 floors. Emergency, Outpatient, inpatient, maternity, operating theatre, consulting rooms and a meeting floor.
All together there will be 4000 rooms, everything included and 14 waiting rooms. One on each side of the floor. 3 staircases and 3 lifts. We even planned out the car parking spaces.
When everything was finished, we called another meeting and showed the others our plans.
The response was brilliant. Everyone was shocked by how the whole things looked that we all wanted to make a start straight away.
Luckily Carlisle had found a contractor that can start right away and is more then up for the challenge of our project. They are to start within the next month as they have to find the materials for the build. Of course as we are vampires we could get the whole thing built within a month. Hopefully, we can decorate it ourselves, so it won't take as much time. As it would only take a couple of days with 7 of us on the team and defiantly with vampire speed, it can be done 4 times quicker.
* * * * *
We spent the next month and a half building and decorating the hospital. Carlisle and I have interviewed the staff personally, and found a terrific team of doctors, nurses, receptionists, board members, and found another 4 sponsors.
It was the week before the opening, and we had contacted the Volturi and asked them to come to our opening. They greatly accepted, and will be arriving tomorrow.
My Dad is also coming. We have been in regular contact with each other for a while. It'll be nice to see him. Thankfully, the Volturi know that my father knows seeing as it was under their permission that we could tell him.
We have named the hospital, 'The Cullen Free Hospital'. It sounds kinda dorky. But I like it. Hopefully none of my human friends will see me while I was there or any of the others. But hey, what can I do? Of course Alice will be on the lookout for anything bad that will happen, that also includes previous acquaintances from the past 50 years.
In which case if that does happen, we can give another doctor the case.
* * * *
The Volturi arrived and everything was okay, Charlie arrived the day after and I worried over nothing. They all got along like a house on fire. It was weird to see.
Suddenly, it was the day of the opening...
A/N: Whoo opening of the hospital!! :)
Anyway, I've been asked by my 'ideas girl' to mention her story:- Blind Faith by Sobriquett
A local radio station runs a blind date competition where the lucky couple meet on their wedding day. Edward and Bella, shy but independent, are deemed a scientifically perfect match, but how does that work out in reality? AU, AH.
She's also writing for the Support Stacie Auction. Have a look at her profile for the link. Also please have a look at my poll. I'm currently writing a Marcus&Bella fic as well. I know I need a life, anyway, if anyone is interested in Beta-ing it for me, let me know!
Please review this chapter. I'll make me happy and I'll update quicker too
