Carlisle

After Bella's mini meltdown I took her downstairs to the rest of the family, we took a seat on the couch as I spoke to the family about my decision. "Right first of all you should know that I have agreed to change Bella"

Rosalie grinned "Great, when are you going to do it?"

I looked at Bella as I was a little unsure when she wanted to do this, she smiled at me before speaking "I'm not really sure, I want to finish school first and then get changed" she looked at me uncertainly.

"I would rather wait until your a little older Isabella, the first year of being a vampire you will need to be kept from people, the blood lust is so severe and you may attack someone, so the only education you would have is your high school one, also I would really like us to be around the same age" I looked at her hopefully.

She scowled at me "So what I'm supposed to sit and wait for Edward to attack us for another 4 years just so I can get an education?" She narrowed her eyes at me daring me to contradict her, with the way my temper has been going lately it was a bad move on her part.

"So what you don't trust us to look after you?" I snapped at her.

"I do but I want to be able to look after myself as well" she snarled, I could see the rest of my family sharing uncomfortable glances.

As Bella and I stared at each other in anger, Jasper muttered "We are going to be in the kitchen Carlisle, let us know when your done"

I nodded slightly in acknowledgment, once everyone had left I spoke quietly "Isabella I just want you to be able to have a good education, you will have many chances through the years but this is the only one time you will experience it as a human"

Her angry look softened and she took my hand in hers "I'm sorry Carlisle, I shouldn't have snapped, I appreciate the thought and I guess it would be easier for you if I was a little older. Do you promise to change me after Uni?"

"I promise Isabella and until then, you will always be protected" I gripped her wrist and pulled her onto my lap until she was straddling me, I took her face into my hands and looked at her "I love you Isabella, nothing will hurt you ever whilst I am around" I pulled her face to mine, my tongue running along her bottom lip until she let me in, our tongues battled for dominance as she moaned against my mouth. My hands roamed up her thighs and cupped her ass, I squeezed softly as she whispered my name. I smiled and manoverued us so she was lying back on the sofa with me on top of her. Her hands snuck under my shirt and massaged my back, I purred as I buried my head in her neck sucking on her pulse point.

"Oh Carlisle, more please" her hands moved over my ass and back up to my neck. I pushed her dress further up towards her hips stroking over her hip bone. We completely lost ourselves in one another, I forgot all about my family in the next room, all my anger dissipated as I allowed myself to be overcome with desire for the beautiful woman underneath me. I pulled away and looked down at her, stroking her cheek "What do you do to me woman"

She giggled and wriggled under my body "I'm sorry, I will stop"

"I didn't say stop" I growled lowly and lowered my lips to her once again.

My attention was suddenly grabbed as I heard a loud wolf whistle, I groaned and pulled away "Way to go Carlisle" Emmett boomed, I faced my family to find them watching me with a look of amusement on their faces, Bella had turned scarlet and was burying her head in my chest.

Stroking her hair I whispered "It's ok sweetheart"

"So you all made up now?" Emmett asked slyly.

I glared at him "Yes not that it is any of your business, now if you will all take a seat, I want to tell you my vote" everyone quickly grabbed a seat and looked at me "I think we should stay here, at least until Isabella finishes school and then we can go from there, if anyone has any issues with this please tell me now"

Everyone shook their heads as Rosalie spoke "I'm glad Carlisle, I know I voted to run but this is home and I don't want to have to move straight away, so what about Bella's change?"

"Isabella and I decided to at least wait until she has finished University. I want her to at least experience that first time as a human before the blood lust hits her" everyone nodded in agreement.

"So what are we going to do for the rest of today?" Alice asked.

"I would like to go out for a bit, maybe go to the mall" Bella asked quietly, all eyes shot to her in shock, not the one we thought would be asking about shopping "I just want to get out for a bit, today has been so stressful and it's the best thing I could do right now"

"That's fine Bella, I will come with you," Alice beamed.

"If you don't mind I am going to go hunting" I said

Bella frowned slightly "Ok, but I will miss you" she kissed me softly.

"Carlisle, do you mind if I come with you?" Rosalie asked.

"Of course you can Rose, what about the rest of you?"

We decided that me and Rose would go hunting and everyone else would go to the mall, I was excited at the prospect of some alone time with my daughter, it had been a while since we had some family time. I led her out the door as Alice was dragging Bella to the car. I grabbed her waist before she got in and pulled her close to me "Be safe sweetheart" I whispered into her hair as she took a seat. "Guys all of you be careful" I called out as I ran into the woods with Rosalie.

We ran for about half an hour and drained a couple of deer before finding a fallen tree and took a seat. Rosalie turned towards me "How you doing Carlisle? It has been a while since we had a chance to talk"

I turned to her smiling softly "I'm fine Rose, just worried about whether I made the right decision"

She patted my arm "You have, your giving her the chance to have some human experience's. She loves you, you know? It's beautiful to see the look's you give one another"

"Thank you Rose, It's nice to know you all accept us" I reached over and gave her a quick hug as we began to chat about life and where we could go with Bella as a newborn, we had a discussion about how to handle Edwards mental state and the best route of protection.

My phone rang suddenly, we looked at each other curiously as I pulled it out my pocket, flipping it open I put it to my ear, It was Jasper "Carlisle, you need to come to the mall, its Edward" Rosalie gave me a look of horror as we sprinted back to the house......Edward what the hell has he done now........
