Ch 44

When they appeared home, Bella was playing with Patty. Edward was just bringing a home made strawberry milkshake.

Patricia ran towards him and happily drank the glass.

Then she noticed Ellen and Carlisle. She finished the glass and ran towards them: „ Mum, dad…..I missed you…."

Carlisle took her in the arms and Ellen hugged them both: „ We missed you too Patty, what were you doing with your friends in class?"

Patricia replied: „ We were told a story, then painted the princess and talked about the Snow white …. I liked the DVD that we watched afterwards…."

Carlisle carried Patty back to the living room so that Ellen could hang the jacket.

After the bathroom she headed to the kitchen. She realised that it´s been few weeks since she cooked in this amazing kitchen for the last time.

Bella appeared in the room: „ Elly, go sit down….I will prepare the dinner.."

Ellen replied: „ No, really..I would like to cook something for dinner myself…..I wonder if I haven´t forgotten it…"

Bella smiled: „ Would you like me to help you?" Before Ellen could agree, Carlisle appeared in the room: „ I will help to Elly, thank you Bella…."

She smiled and left the room to Edward and Patty.

He asked: „ Would you like an assistant?..." Ellen could see the smile in his eyes and replied: „ I think I could use one…"

„What are you planning to cook?" „I thought that maybe meat, curry and rice…."

He nodded: „ Good one, do you have a special recipe?"

„Yeah, my mum used to do this one very often and Patty loves it actually, she hasn´t eaten this for months…."

„Great…..just tell me what you need and I will try to discover whether we have it…."

Ellen began thinking about all the necessary ingredients. She hasn´t cooked this meal for so long.

He found everything: „ Done, so where can I start?"

She instructed him: „Could you please prepare the meat? I need small pieces…."

„As you wish, my princess…."

She blushed and turned to preparing the sauce. They were silently working and when he finished the meat, he washed the hands and hugged her from behind.

She grinned: „ This is also included in the assisting job?"

„Exactly, you have just guessed my new plan…."

She took the meat and tried to give it to the pan. She began stirring it and he was watching her.

After the meat was ready, she added the sauce and prepared the rice.

When she finished, she realised that he is still watching her. She couldn´t help it, but she wanted to kiss him immediately.

She didn´t have to say a word, he could feel that and leaned closer to her and kissed her lips.

They were hugging and teasing each other and Ellen felt the desire to take him to the bedroom immediately.

She wants him so much. It´s been for so long and she desired to spend the night with him.

Yes, they were couple since the Christmas but they knew each other longer and since the middle of November they have been living in one house.

It is natural that she wants him now. He was really so handsome. She realised that his hands have moved under her T-shirt again and she was enjoying his soft touch on her skin.

It was such exciting moment. She enjoyed his every touch but longed for more. She was holding her hands around the neck kissing him passionately.

Then they heard a cough. Ellen looked up and saw Alice and Jasper standing in the door. Alice laughed: „ Won´t you like to concentrate more on the meal?"

Ellen wondered and returned back to the bubbly sauce. Alice just smirked and with Jasper they headed out of the room.

Edward winked at him and it was clear that he could read Carlisle´s and Ellen´s mind. They were both thinking about the same idea and he was still hesitating of what is going to happen. Will Carlisle tell her?

Jasper must have had a very hard time when around them. With his gift he had to feel the emotions coming out of the two of them. Ellen wanted to make love with Carlisle as much as he wanted her too. Alice was very much aware of this and therefore they headed outside for a hunt.

Ellen turned back to the meal that she was preparing and Carlisle offered to prepare the table.

There would be just three of them eating this night. Bella, Edward, Rose and Emmett wanted to follow Alice and Jasper but told Ellen about a party that someone in Forks is doing in the evening.

When they left, Ellen called Patty to come to the table. Patricia loved this and enjoyed it a lot.

After the dinner she headed to the shower and to the bed. Carlisle was reading a story and Ellen was hugging Patty. After he finished they were all cuddling in Patty´s bed.

Carlisle was thinking about this and he felt so happy with them both. This was something different than to play a father to adult vampires.

With Patty and Ellen this was different. He was acting like a real father. They all had blond hair and so they looked like a natural family.

And their evening hugs were so touching for him. He has never experienced these close touches with own children. And he regarded Patricia as his own daughter.

At one moment he was thinking about legal adoption but then decided to postpone it when he and Ellen are married. He hoped this moment would come someday. Now it is too soon but he would so much love to call her his wife. He told already to Mrs. Burns that Ellen was his fiancée.

This is just the matter of the fact when she will spread it as a newest gossip about the local doctor.

He didn´t want Ellen to face this.

At the end of January she will return back to her school work and all these bad talks about her will reappear. She will have to face the parents every day. And Forks is a small town.

He realised that Patty fell asleep while they were holding her. He softly touched Ellen´s hand: „ She´s asleep….are we going back to the living room?"

„Love, I apologise, I am too tired now….would you mind if I went to bed too?"

He smiled: „ No problem…"

„But you may join me if you like?"

He smiled: „ Yes, I will,…..but when you fall asleep….I need to finish some work…."

She went to take shower and returned at the moment when he was knocking on the door.

She jumped to the bed and moved in his arms. It was so calming to move closer and hug his chest.

She enjoyed this completely. It was the best sleeping position. He kissed her forehead and she yawned: „ Good night, my dear Carlisle…."

„Good night Ellie….."

Before she could listen to his other reply, she fell asleep. He stayed with her few more minutes and then got up.

He remembered about the promised call to Charlie and headed to his study to phone him. But he didn´t pick it up. It was already around 9pm and maybe he already went to bed.

So he decided to postpone it and call him on the following morning.

He was thinking about Elly again and he couldn´t understand himself. The woman was really getting all his self-control.

Yes, he knew that she was his mate. But he could never guess how powerful all emotions are among the true mates that even a person with hundreds years of self-control practice is now helpless. He wants to make love with her so much, he cannot think of anything else. And yet, every time they are together touching each other, something happens and causes them to stop. This has happened already a few times recently and it was becoming quite stressing and maybe even frustrating. How come he couldn´t get her out of his head?

He sneaked out of her room and decided to leave the house for a moment too. He needed to think about everything too.

When Ellen woke up in the morning, the bed next to her was empty. She missed waking up in his arms. But she knew that he doesn´t need to sleep long hours as she does.

The doctors need to be used to working even after a sleepless night. She truly admired this about him.

She took the shower and dressed up. Then she noticed the clock.

It wasn´t even before seven. She got up really early. She decided to wake Patty up.

When she was in the corridor, Edward was walking downstairs: „ Ellie? Can we take Patty to school? We need to go to Bella´s dad….."

„Yes, of course…..I will wake her up to get ready…."

„no need to hurry…..we still have time….."

Ellen smiled and went to Patty´s bedroom. She was silently sleeping hugging Bella doll. Ellen moved to her and kissed her cheek: „ wake up, sunshine…."

Patricia opened her eyes: „ Mum….give me a moment…."

„Ok, I will wait…but Edward wants to take you to school today….do you want to miss him?"

The thing about Edward worked. Patricia jumped out of the bed and headed to the shower and then dress something nice.

Ellen was watching the clothes as they fit: „ Did you choose this yourself?"

Patty shook the head: „ No, Alice asked if she can choose me the dress and I agreed and I like this…."

Ellen laughed: „ I understand…I have never seen you wearing this, it must be new…."

„Mum, can we go to have breakfast?"

Carlisle opened the door: „ Good morning, my sweethearts….it´s ready…."

„ dad, thanks…I am so hungry….."

Patty ran downstairs and Carlisle took Ellen in the arms and carried her downstairs: „ Good morning Ellie, how did you sleep?"

„I missed you when I woke up and the bed was empty…."

„ I was preparing you the breakfast…."

„ I know…I just….."

„I promise that I will try to be there next time, I promise….."

Ellen kissed him and he asked: „ Do you think Patty would mind if she found me in your bed?"

"No? Why should she?"

He just shrugged: „ I don´t know, I was just thinking….."

Ellen kissed him: „Patty takes you as a daddy and then I think she would have no problem with that….what will you do when she runs in the bedroom during the night when we sleep? She used to cry at night and always came in my bedroom…"

He nodded: „ You´re right…..I hope she will be fine with that….."

THen he watched here: „ This dress looks so cute…."

She grinned: „ Thanks, love…."
