I have no idea how available I will be during the weekend, my best friend is having a birthday party and it usually takes the whole weekend but latest Monday the new chapter will appear... I wish you nice weekend too :-)))
Ch 35
Carlisle stayed the whole night watching Ellen sleeping. He couldn´t get enough.
Already few times they were together like this but now it was something completely new.
Now they both are in love.
He could hear in the next room Patty getting up from the bed and he used his super speed to appear yawning in the corridor.
He didn´t want the child to catch them in one bed.
It was too soon for her to understand.
She noticed him standing in front of his bedroom door and ran to hug him: „ Happy Christmas daddy….."
He kissed her: „ Happy Christmas to you too, sweetie….where are you going?"
Patty was excited: „ I wanted to wake mum first….then go to check if Santa already visited this house…"
„ Let´s go to wake her up….."
He stood her back on the carpet and Patty ran in Ellen´s bed.
She hugged and kissed her: „ muuuuuuuuum…up…we need to check if Santa left us any gifts…."
Ellen opened her eyes and instead of sleeping Carlisle she could see her excited child taking her out of the bed.
She yawned: „ Patty, I need to dress….."
Carlisle handed her the bathrobe: „ Take this…..I doubt my kids will be wearing something else…"
She understood and they followed Patty out of the room. She began screaming: „ Hey….wake up everyone….Santa has already been there…."
Ellen stopped her: „ Patty, not everyone wants to be awake so early…."
Carlisle, on the other hand, was enjoying this.
Patty was staring from the distance whispering: „ Wow, this is…."
He came closer and caressed her hair: „ You have lost your words, haven´t you?"
Patty replied: „ I have never seen so many presents…..we must have been nice…."
Ellen looked at them: „ Patty, there are many people in this house….therefore Santa must have brought many gifts….."
She laughed: „ Can we unpack them mum?" Ellen looked in the corridor where she heard voices: „ We should wait for the rest….it wouldn´t be fair to start without them….."
Patty nodded: „ May I wake them up?"
Carlisle caught her: „ You´re so impatient, princess….."
She kissed his forehead: „ You wouldn´t be?"
She surprised him and thought for a second: „ Yeah, probably I would…..you´re right…."
He heard Alice saying that they are ready and he sent Patty to Alice´s room: „ Go to wake aunt Alice….."
Patricia knew exactly where to run.
Before she could knock on the door, Jasper opened it: „ We´re ready princess….."
Jacob opened the door too: „So are we…."
Carlisle could see they were all wearing some sort of night clothes or pyjamas and had to smile for himself.
It was so new to see them all in the awkward clothes other than brand clothes from fashion designers, especially the girls.
Now they couldn´t keep Patty from the presents.
She ran to them and as soon as Edward appeared in the room she caught his hand and pulled him to help her with reading names.
He pretended to be sleepy but Patty persuaded him easily.
They worked like a good team. It took quite a while before she handed all presents.
The most of them of course belonged to her. Everyone loved to spoil their new little sister. Patty was sitting on the sofa with Ellen and Carlisle and was opening each present. But the most happy she was when she saw the new bike.
She screamed with joy and wanted to try it. Carlisle wanted to help her and Edward brought the things to maintain the seat just for her height.
Patty was excited: „ Mum, can you see it?...I will be riding…."
Carlisle added: „ Just wait for the spring….. then you may learn it…."
She looked outside: „ It will be loooong….."
Edward laughed: „ You need to be patient, Pattie….."
Patty frowned and he added: „ Well, if you´re gonna be nice, we will take you to some gym, you may ride there…. Even though the snow is outside…."
Patty ran to him: „ Thank you, uncle Eddie…."
Then she ran back to Ellen to take another box.
Meanwhile she was saying: „ Mum, did you watch me? I was sitting on the bike seat and I will learn to drive it…"
Ellen hugged her: „ I saw you honey….you looked amazing on it…."
Patty must have been really so nice because she got so many presents.
Ellen felt happy for her but was kind of worried so that she wouldn´t become spoiled.
When Carlisle was coming back to them to sit she pointed at the bike and he nodded. At least he had some decent idea of not spoiling her with other dolls, pram and other girl stuff.
He preferred to teach her some sports which Ellen was grateful him for. She didn´t want her baby girl to spend too much time in front of the laptop as the kids love doing nowadays.
When Patricia was running around the room and showing everyone what she got, the others were opening their presents too.
Emmett took it easy with the girls this year. He bought all of them their own copies of the Fifty shades.
Bella asked: „ Guys, what is that?" Ellen opened the box too and said: „ Well, guys, this is not funny….."
Alice giggled: „ I suppose it is in this blue box of mine too….."
She knew who to blame: „ Em?"
He laughed when he saw their reaction and had to tease them a little bit: „ I read some review…..and truly, they recommended it for every modern woman… and concerning the content….. I thought you might want to learn something new…."
Ellen blushed and Bella with Alice ran to him to tickle him but they ended up hugging each other.
Carlisle commented:
„ At least you will spend some time reading….take it as positive….." Edward and Jasper joined him in laughter.
Ellen got another huge choice of clothes from Alice. These were not the usual shop confection but some of them were from the famous brands that Ellen has heard about just on TV shows.
She was watching them with adoration and Alice felt satisfied.
At least after the huge first shopping trip finally there is somebody who acknowledges her good taste.
Then she moved to the small boxes that were just prepared to be open.
She did that and could see a very beautiful silver ring. It was so beautiful. She knew who it was from.
She smiled gently: „ Thank you, it is beautiful…." He commented: „ When you are at school again, so you might remember me…."
She replied: „ I am sure, I won´t think about anything else….."
Edward joked: „ And who will think about the poor kids?" everybody laughed…..and Ellen kissed his lips:
„ Thank you….it´s amazing….." he took the ring and gave it on her finger.
Second box wrapped in the same Christmas paper contained the ear rings that fit well to the necklace from the previous night.
She looked at him: „ Wow, I have a brand new jewelry equipment….Thank you…."
She kissed him with tears in her eyes. She never got so many expensive things and she felt that she doesn´t deserve him.
He is so nice to her all the time. She yawned and Carlisle smiled: „ You are tired again?"
She laughed: „ I know I shouldn´t be….but I would sleep all the time now…."
He kissed her: „ You sleepy head….. as soon as we are finished here, I will take Patty out for walk and you may rest…"
She caressed his hand: „ Thank you…"
He commented: „ Well, I am glad that Denise will be back after New Year, it must have been incredible exhausting for you….."
Ellen looked at him and nodded. She became a little bit sad. She still had no idea what she would do for the whole days here alone.
She knew that Edward and his siblings would be leaving in the half of January but still, she didn´t want to be a burden for them.
Carlisle noticed her small sad feeling but decided to ask her later. He didn´t want to talk about it in front of the whole family. Among many other gifts he got beautiful great diary from Ellen which he loved and then she bought a weekend trip for all of them when the wetter is better.
She hoped he might enjoy to spend the summer in some mountain area. She knew he loved hiking but it needs to wait until she can walk again.
He seemed content with her choice and she felt happy that he looked alright with it.
During the lunch time they finished everything and each carried the gifts in their rooms.
Bella began cooking and Ellen sat down next to her on the bar chair and they were talking.
They were watching the men having fun with Patricia in the living room.
She got new DVDs and they were discussing with Emmett which one they should watch first. Carlisle offered them to play rock, paper, scissors. Patricia didn´t know this game and so they began explaining it. When she learned it, she wanted to play with everyone.
They had so much fun because she could never win over Edward. His reading ability was an enormous advantage and only he could say what the opponent prepares. But nobody revealed this and so they were encouraging Patty to try to beat Edward in that. In the end he let her win once.
She was screaming and running around the room so happily.
In the afternoon Carlisle took Patricia out for walk. He was looking forward to spending some time together with his „new" little daughter and he wanted to take her in the woods.
„Patty, would you like to see animals? They have some food stored here…."
He pointed at the feeder and Patty asked: „ And are they coming even now in winter?" He nodded: „ Yes, they need to feed too…."
It was so much snow everywhere and he added: „ Do you think we will see any little animal?"
He smiled and tried to sense it. He succeeded and lead Patty away from the feeder: „ If we go away, they might come closer…."
Patricia agreed and followed him. They hunkered down and waited.
Few minutes later they could see a deer doe coming to eat something. The other one followed her and they had a nice view.
They were watching as the finished and ran away immediately. Somebody touched Carlisle´s shoulder as he was down and he turned around: „ Jake?..." „What are you two waiting for?"
Patty shouted: „ An animal… and we already saw some….and you certainly frightened the two ones…."
He raised the hand: „ My lady, I sincerely apologise, would you forgive me?..."
Patricia laughed and Carlisle asked: „ Going to visit your family?"
Jake nodded: „ Yeah, I am curious how the pack is doing…"
Carlisle touched his shoulder: „ Go, and greet them from us…."
Jake pretended he hasn´t heard him, just grinned, waved and left quickly up the road.
They were walking and after some time Patty began complaining: „ Daddy….my legs hurt….I can´t walk…I am frozen…." He sat her down on his shoulders and asked: „ Is it better miss?"
„Much, better, daddy…I have perfect view now…"
He laughed: „ I believe you do….." )
Patty giggled: „ This is so comfortable….."
He tickled her gently on the knees and she laughed happily.
Then his cell phone began beeping. He picked up and listened to the voice in there.
Then he hang up and Patricia asked: „ what´s wrong dad? Any problem?"
He replied: „ No, sweetie, nothing I couldn´t deal with…."
He could see the house in the distance and headed there as fast as he could.
Ellen was already downstairs, Emmett brought her down from the bedroom. He heard her coming out of the room.
Ellen took out Patricia´s wet clothes and commented to Carlisle: „ wow, you must be really strong to carry her on your arms…."
He touched her shoulder: „ Well, she is still easy to take…." Patricia added: „ Mum, I had an amazing view, I liked that…."
„ Patty, I am sure you did…just…"
He stopped her: „ Don´t worry…I am strong man right, Patty?"
The named one agreed immediately and as soon as her clothes were off, she ran to play with her new toys.
