AN: I know it has been forever since I updated this story, but I actually got inspiration for it again. I finally know how it is going to end and everything. There are probably ten or so more chapters, but I can't say there will not be more since you all know me and how my stories tend to go on forever. Anyways, I do hope that are still reading this story since it was my first ever Twilight story so parting with it is going to be hard for me, but like I said I have ten or so more chapters.
Carlisle's POV- Flashback
I felt as if I had not spent any time with my song for month's now. I know that things have been tense since I brought Rosalie in to the family and I fear that Edward my resent me for trying to mingle in his love life. I wish that he could see I really only wanted what was best for him. I wanted my son to have love in his life. I wanted him to be able to share with someone what I shared with Esme. When I found Rosalie in the street breathing her last breath I honestly had thought it was fate, a beautiful blond woman around his age just waiting for me to turn. It had been an opportunity I couldn't give. Yet now that I think back on it I should have realized that Edward would be angry with me. How would he be able to find love with someone when he couldn't even find it within himself to love himself?
In trying to make it up to my son I had gotten him the job at the mental hospital. I thought that maybe if he could help others it would take his mind of hating what he had become. It seemed to be going well in my opinion. Ever since he had started working here I could see a change in my bronze haired son. He seemed lighter and happier than I had ever seen him before. Edward smiled more and if one can believe it he actually laughed when he heard a joke and got along with Rosalie for the most part. It was almost as if someone had breathed a new life in to him. Whatever had happened to change my son it had changed him for the better and I could only hope that change was permanent.
Making my way in to the mental hospital where I knew I would find Edward even though it was his day off, I smiled at the woman running the front desk as I hurried past her. It wasn't that I didn't like her anything, but all the women who worked here seemed to forget that I was a happily married man. It would be better for everyone if I pretended they did not exist and do what I had come here for. I wanted to talk to my son and see if I could get him to open up to me about what had changed in his life. When he was first changed we used to talk all the time and yet since Esme came along he has closed himself off and I can't help, but wonder if he did it because he feels that he is taking up my time with my wife. I needed to assure him that married or not I would always be here for him if he wanted or needed to talk.
After talking to a few of the orderlies I learned that Edward was in the shock therapy room helping one of the patients. I cringed at the thought of shock therapy. It was one of the many human medical practices that I did not agree with. I saw it more as a form of torture than a form of help. It saddened me when I thought of the poor patients were basically torture and all for medical purposes. Our job as doctors was to help them not make their lives worse. With a shake of my head I headed in the direction of the shock therapy room as quickly as I could while still being able to pull off looking human.
By the time I made it there I could hear my son and the human he was with talking. Now normally I would not be one to eavesdrop, but I couldn't seem to help it. As far as I knew my son hardly ever talked to the patients and by the tone of his voice I could tell they were both very comfortable with each other. Moving as slowly as I could I peek through the window above the door to see my son for all intents and purposes holding a small girl who had to be around his age if her facial features were any indication in his arms as he rocked her back and forth? It was clear as day to see they cared about one another to a degree I never would have expected.
"It's going to be alright Alice." My son whispered in to her as he kissed her cheek and continued to rock her in his arms with a gentleness I had never seen him exhibit before. "I swear that I am going to get you out of here. I won't let you ever go through this torment again. As soon as I talk to Carlisle we will set you free I promise. If he doesn't agree with our plan then you and I will go somewhere together just the two of us."
The girl who I now knew to be called Alice bit her bottom lip as she curled in to his embrace. "I would never tear you away from your family Edward. Carlisle will understand I have already told you. I've seen how accepting he will be. You need to get over your fear because your father loves you Edward. He loves you as if you were his biological son and I can only hope that when I become like you he will see me as a daughter as well."
I left after that because I had so much on my mind I needed to process. Edward had found his mate and she was a human. Edward was going to turn a human which meant that we would have to leave, but I suppose if that made him happy then that is really what matters. I think what bothered me the most was the fact that my son feared I would not accept his choices. Did he not realize that all I ever wanted was his happiness? I had two choices and one would be confronting him about what I saw while the other would be waiting for him to come to me. I guess I'll wait for him to come to me because that shows he trusts me. He needs to do all of this on his own time and all I can do is try to be patient.
