Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, I only own my original characters and the plot. Now the plot that I got from the book isn't mine and I don't plan to use any of it!

A/N: Thanks everyone for the lovely reviews!

writingNOOB: I can't really explain it, but I have the general idea on how I am going to play that. It simple and others have probably done it unless I change it, but I dont want that aspect to be too fancy.

IggyBane: Thanks for joining! I am glad you are enjoying this and I sure hope you continue to do so!

Guest (1): Sorry I have three Guest reviews and They all might be the same person but in case they're not I'm breaking them up. As of right now I have not thought about what her power would be or even if she'll have one; though she probably will. I like the idea in my head about what I could do but I worry its a bit much. As to the having a baby. She might I havent really decided just yet lol but thanks for letting me know you like the idea.

Guest (2): As to her Ex, I'm not sure if I explained that yet or not lol I need to check and if not I'll work it in soon :)

Guest (3): Your advice about working in the advice that Carlisle gave to Edward, is a lovely idea and honestly I forgot about that. I'll have to see what exactly the advice was and see if I want to use it but its a lovely idea!

Thanks to everyone who reviewed! I love reading your thoughts and will respond to them when I can! This chapter is a little longer than usual so I hope this makes up for the wait!

Chapter 18

All I could hear was the soft pit pat sounds hitting the roof of the building as I sat with my eyes closed, my head on my arms. The soft sound more than enough to put me to sleep, but now was not the time. No instead I needed to stay awake and try to listen to what the teacher was saying or else I'd get lost in this class but honestly it was already a lost cause. I can't even remember the topic anymore. This is the way its been for the last few weeks, everything is slow and dreary right now, the forecast has been nothing but rain and honestly its been a little depressing. Its been awhile since I've been back to the Cullen household. Even since telling Rose that a relationship with Carlisle would be impossible...though she doesn't know it was him I was talking about. I just can't face him anymore...not when I can't be with him...

At the beginning of the week the questions began. At first it was just Rose but it didnt take long for the others to begin to join in on the questions. They wanted to know why I stopped coming around but honestly I couldnt explain it to them, they wouldnt understand. This is why I no longer am seen with the Cullen family by the student body. I was simply tired of the questions that I could not answer and I hated lying to them.

~Rose POV~

I looked over at Adeline to see her laying with her head on her arms over her desk, I couldn't help the small smile that crossed my lips at the sight. She looked so peaceful. This is the first I've seen her with such an expression in weeks. Adeline has been so distant lately, not just from my family but from me and I can't help but wonder why. I can't help by think that it might be that fact that she has feelings for Carlisle but she doesn't know that I suspect her for having such feelings. No one knows for sure whats going through her head except Edward and he wont tell anyone whats going on. Even Carlisle is concerned with the lack of Adeline's presence at the house.

I sighed and looked away with a frown. I'll have to confront her about this it seems. I just wished she'd talk to me and tell me what was troubling her. I was snapped out of my thoughts as the bell rang and i coolly stood up gathering my books, i noticed that Adeline grabbed her things and ran out of the door with out a glance back. This cant keep going on. It was time to talk.

I walked out of the room and met Emmett at the door. "Hey, babe, everything ok?" he asked as he put his arm over my shoulder. I shock my head in response,

"No, somethings up with her, Em and I don't like not knowing whats going on."

"She still hasn't said anything to you?" he asked as we headed down the hall.

"No, nothing. She slept in class, she looked so at peace. Its been a long time since she looked like that."

"She'll come around, babe. And if she doesn't well, then we'll approach her." we sat at the table joining the rest of the family at our usual lunch table. I looked around the room for Adeline, just to find her sitting one the other side of the room with Angela.

I realized that while she had food in front of her, she never ate a bite of it, instead she picked at it and tore it into little pieces.

Edward sat up straighter causing us to look at him, "What's up, Ed?" asked Emmett.

Edward frowned, "The girls are planning a trip."

"That sounds normal enough." I said with a shrug not seeing any big deal about it.

Edward shook his head, "It's not but I figured you of all people wanted to know what Adeline was up too." I shrugged and leaned against Emmett. "Apparently it is Lauren and Jessica's idea to go."

"Since when is Adeline friends with those two?" Emmett said with a grunt of disgust.

"She's not, but Angela is friends with Jessica, so Jessica invited her and Angela in turn invited Adeline." Edward said with a roll of his eyes. "They're going tonight, in case you wanted to know."

Jasper raised an eyebrow, "On a school night? Lauren and Jessica are the worst ones to do that with, they tend to stay out all night I heard."

Edward nodded in agreement, "That's true, but there's nothing we can do to stop them, besides it might be a good thing for Adeline."

~Carlisle POV~

ITs gotten harder over the last few weeks. For some reason Adeline has stopped coming over to the house. The laughter has been missing ever since. I tried to stay away I really did but I couldn't help myself. Last week I started visiting her, without her knowing. But I just could not stay away I needed to see her, see that she was ok, especially since I have no clue what caused such a change.

Flashback

It was quiet, the rain had let up to a drizzle. I stood outside of Adeline's home, just under the window where I could hear her heartbeat. I quietly jumped up to her windowsill. I peaked in once I listened to the slow beat of her heart that told me she was fast asleep.

She laid in the center of her bed. Her hair spread much like a fiery yellow halo around her as she slept on her side. She was wearing a pair of low riding shorts and a tshirt, that had ridden up enough in her sleep to show her belly button to the room. One hand way cupped up beside her face while the other was stretched in front of her, her fingers resting on the pages of a book that she must have fallen asleep reading.

I noticed that her window was unlocked and carefully opened it careful to make no sound. I stepped into the room leaving the window open and walked over to her side. I smiled at the sight and gently ran the back of my fingers along her cheek. I looked to the book she was reading to find 'Great Expectations'. I smiled fondly and carefully moved the book from under her fingers and placed a marker off her nightstand into the book before closing it and placing it on the stand.

I went back to watching her, listening to her talk in her sleep. Most of which made no sense at all. I took the blanket from the foot of her bed and tucked it around her, knowing that it'll get cooler through the night. I stand on the edge of her bed and was content to watch her, occasionally running my fingers through her hair. I know it is wrong of me to spy on her in such a way. But I could not help myself, I had to be near her. But I was content to sit and watch her sleep. At least I knew she was safe.

End flashback

Every night after that was the same, I would visit her as she slept and sneak out before she was awake. I know Edward finds this amusing after all he did the same to Bella, but I did what I could to ignore him. Edward had actually came and spoke to me about it and told me his thoughts on it.

Flashback

I was working in my office at home trying to get some working done but my thoughts were distracted by the absence of Adeline from the house. I have asked the others, but none of them can tell me the reason for her absence. Edward either knew and was staying silent or he really did not know but there was no real way to tell.

There was a knock at the door, I knew it was Edward and kept writing in the file I was currently working in, "Come in, Edward." I responded. I heard the door open and close, along with the light footsteps of my son. "What is bothering you, Edward?"

"Why are you putting yourself through this? She is your mate, not just a random human girl." Edward said, as he leaned against the bookcase.

"I am aware of this, Edward. But she is young and deserved to live her life and dreams out." I explained without ever looking up.

"And that choice should be hers, not yours. What if she wants you and not someone else, have you thought of that?"

I nodded. "I have, but this is for the best. This way she is safe as well."

"Wasn't it you that told me that I should stop fighting against my desire? To give it a chance if it made me happy?" Edward said, his voice starting to raise before going soft once more. "When is it your turn to be happy, Carlisle?"

I looked up at my son, seeing the sadness on his face, "I am happy Edward. I have a family that I love, a job that I love."

"And the woman you love?" Edward interrupted, "What about her? Take a chance, don't just write it off for later. Because what if later never comes. What if she does find someone else?"

"Then that will be her choice, Edward." I explained with a sigh. "All that matters is that she is happy."

Edward shook his head and opened the door and paused in the doorway, "Think long and hard on your decision, Carlisle. If you wait too long, when you finally decide to make a move it may be too late." he said and left the room.

End Flashback

Edward has not brought it up to me again, but his words never left my thoughts. I sighed and looked down at the files on my desk when suddenly the shrill ring of my phone cut through the silence. I picked it up and answered "Hello." the person on the other end spoke fast and in a panic. I stood to my feet in a rush, my heart and body slowly filled with dread with every word

A/n: ok this is it! Next chapter and something big happens. Honestly I was going to put it in this chapter but i felt this needed to cut off here. I'll try to update faster. But having internship, classes, and work makes writing time limited. The more reviews and the faster I'll write.
