Time Will Tell- Chapter 3
Dear readers, I have made the decision that I will be finishing –or at least really working on- this story before finishing the others. I hope you don't mind...
BPOV
I dreamt about him that night. Those eyes, those golden eyes, the same shade as butterscotch, which pierced my very soul. I dreamt about how his blonde hair was pushed back from his face, how his dark scarf wrapped around his neck, how his dark suit fit to his form perfectly. Doctor Cullen plagued my dreams that night. He was unlike anyone that I had ever seen before, he was perfection incarnate.
Dream-
I was sat in the most beautiful meadow, surrounded by an array of different flowers. The breeze rustled through the trees and through the long grass, gently pushing my hair back off my face as I sat amongst the foliage. Looking up into the darkening sky I watch the sun slowly slipping down past the horizon. A heavenly smell filled my nostrils, a mixture of pine wood and mint, a heady scent that made my mouth water. Looking over my shoulder I realised what was causing the smell. There, knelt behind me was the God-like creature that had haunted my thoughts.
"Isabella." The way my name rolled from his tongue sent shivers up my spine, and caused my knees to go weak. Leaning forwards he crawled towards me, a strand of his golden hair falling across his forehead and into his eyes. As soon as he was close enough I ran my hand up and pushed it back, my palm coming to rest against his ice cold cheek. A sound that sent another thrill through my body erupted from his chest, a tender purr vibrated throughout his body as he nuzzled into my hand.
"Doctor Cullen..." My reply came soon after, a faint whisper that caused his eyes to snap to my face. That liquid gold seemed to melt all my resolve as I simply stared at them. A small smirk wrapped itself into his features as he leaned forwards, his face inches from mine, causing my heart to skip a beat.
"My precious Bella." My eyes dropped to his bow-like lips to watch them form the words. "Mine."
End Dream
"Bella! Stop drooling and get up!" A voice broke through my barrier of sleep and jolted me awake. Looking around tiredly I surveyed my surroundings, finding myself not in the beautiful meadow but back in my bedroom in Forks. Rubbing my sleep filled eyes I focus on the tall form beside my bed.
"Go away Georgia." I groaned and moved to bury my head back into my pillow to find it ripped from under my head. With a huff I sit up and glare at my younger sister, shaking my head slightly before throwing back the covers and storming to the bathroom to get ready. After a quick shower, brushing my teeth and getting dressed I came back to the room to find Georgia already dressed with her hair and makeup done. "You look nice..." I comment suspiciously, my eyes surveying her clothing choice.
A pair of blue skinny jeans, a white t-shirt with a red belt, her curls had been straightened and pushed back with a matching red headband, on her feet she wore a pair of black boots with small heels. Her makeup was less natural then the day before, she had an excess of black eyeliner, her lips were glossed and I could smell her FCUK for Her perfume from the door. With a frown I leant against the door.
"What's the occasion?" I questioned, a grin spreading on her lips as she regarded me in the mirror.
"Nothing... Can't I just try and look nice?" She asked briskly, her eyes gleaming as she slipped multiple bracelets over her arms. This caused me to frown and turn around to go downstairs. Grabbing a bowl I pulled a carton of eggs from the fridge and started to make some omelettes, not knowing what Charlie would want I made enough just in case.
"Something smells good!" Came a booming voice from the door. Looking up sharply I spot a dark skinned youth, his hair was long and black –pulled up in a ponytail to keep off his face-, he was dressed in dirty clothes but had a boyish grin on his face. "Hey Bells! Miss me?" Before I could ask the boy who he was a loud laugh came from the stairs.
"Hey Jake, what you doing here?" It was Charlie, regarding the youth like he was part of the family. "Bella, you remember Jacob Black right? You and Georgia used to play with him all the time when you were younger." A faint memory of a much smaller boy and a lot of mud came to mind as my dad said this.
"Right... Erm hey Jake... You want some breakfast?" I offered, nodding to the plate half full of omelettes, causing a grin to spread across his face.
"Don't mind if I do!" He launched on the plate and took the majority of the food, causing me to back up in fear of getting hurt in the attack. As he took his food and some for Charlie to the table they sat and ate in compatible silence. After a few minutes Georgia entered the room, bag over her shoulder and around her neck a small heart necklace. I sighed and pointed to the food.
"Eat." I ordered, knowing her aversion to breakfast in her attempt to lose weight. She stuck her tongue out at me but did as I requested and took an omelette whilst I cleaned up. Once she had finished I picked up my keys from the rack and Charlie handed us both some money.
"Right I want you to both be careful, alright? There's been a couple of bear attacks lately, and I don't want either of you to get hurt, alright?" Charlie's concerned brown eyes bore into my own, causing me to frown. I knew what he was trying to say; Keep Georgia out of the woods and out of trouble. She was always one for running off and getting into any form of trouble when we were younger.
"We'll be fine, dad!" Georgia shouted as she hopped into the truck, grabbing her iPod out and putting her music up to fall volume so that I could hear it. With a shake of my head I hopped into the truck and pulled away, waving at Charlie and Jake as we left.
The benefit to being in such a small town is that you can get to any place within ten minutes. Pulling into the parking lot I switched the engine off just in time to watch my sister launch herself out of the cab and run around to the front of the car. I got out of the car and walked to meet her, following her eye line to spot a black Mercedes. I froze. That was Doctor Cullen's car... As if sensing my gaze the doors opened and the Doctor got out. I noticed other doors opening and the Cullen kids getting out, but all I could really see was Doctor Cullen.
"His name is Carlisle." Georgia whispered beside me, her eyes searching my face as I openly stared. I frowned and looked down at her, wondering how she knew that. She giggled, "Charlie told me last night."She shrugged nonchalantly then turned her back on me and walked over to, what must have been a group of her new friends.
I turned again to look at the car, he was standing there alone, his eyes already on me. I bit my lip to prevent myself from doing anything stupid; his gaze was so intense, as if he were studying me. Today he wore a pair of beige pants, a white button-down shirt tucked into them with a grey jacket over that. He was beautiful as ever. When he noticed I was watching him he smiled gently and nodded his head in what looked like a mock bow. I could feel the blood flooding my cheeks as I returned the gesture. He bared his teeth at me in a simple grin, causing my stomach to flutter like a million butterflies had taken residence there. With that gesture he slipped into his car and drove off, leaving me standing there awkwardly. That's where I was when Mike found me.
"Hey Bella, 'sup? Ready for class?" He inclined his head towards the school and I nodded, still not trusting my voice that almost meeting with Carlisle. I followed him into the warmth of the building just to be stopped by a blur of white and black.
"Hey, you're Bella right? I'm Alice." It was the little pixie-like Cullen girl, she was standing in front of me grinning broadly, her energy radiating off of her in waves.
"Erm, yeah... Hey." I replied, slightly overwhelmed by the introduction. Her golden eyes, the same as Carlisle's, sparkled in the artificial light.
"Me and you are in the same Biology I believe? Wanna sit next to me later?" She asked, her spiky hair bouncing as she did, her enthusiasm was cute. I smiled nervously and nodded at her.
"Sure, sounds good." She clapped and waved at me before turning and skipping towards the tall boy with copper hair, Edward, I think. I turned to look at Mike who was just standing there, his mouth slightly agape as he watched Alice skip off. "You ok, Mike?" He turned to me with wide eyes, mouth still open.
"That was Alice Cullen..." He pointed out dumbly, staring at me as if I had grown a second head. With a gentle laugh I nod and walk off to Bio.

After leaving my sister I walked over to a group of girls that I recognised from the day before. They all looked up and smiled, but as I spotted a certain familiar glare I stopped. Lauren. With a sigh of annoyance I waved at the nice girls and walked past the group and into the building. The last thing I needed was for my only decent clothes to get ruined by a drink bomb. Pulling a strand of hair into my hand I twirled it around my finger and kept my head down. Bad move.
I turned a corner and walked head first into a massive body, sending myself backwards with a cry of pain.
"Shit! You ok?" A large hand was held in front of my face for my aid. I took it and nodded, he hauled me up onto my feet before I realised who it was.
"I am so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going, I didn't... I mean..." I stumbled over my words as I looked up at the bear of a boy that was Emmett Cullen. He grinned down at me, showing deep dimples that matched his curly black hair brilliantly. He shook his head and patted my arm.
"It's cool, just as long as you're ok?" His eyes changed from joking to concerned quickly and I realised that they were the same shade that Jasper's were.
"I'm fine thanks..." I stopped, realising a moment too late that behind him was the rest of his family, including Jasper. My face burst into flames as my embarrassment coursed throughout my body. Why wouldn't the ground just open up and swallow me whole? I coughed and looked around for any form of help, but the Cullen's seemed to have a force field around them that kept them separate from everyone else. Looking up again I spot the tall blonde girls smirk, the copper haired boys concerned frown, the pixie girls massive grin, but what made me stop was Jaspers glare towards Emmett. Pushing forward he came to stand right in front of me.
"You sure you're ok, darlin'?" His voice was laced with concern, but the southern accent made my knees go weak. I just stood there, staring up at him, my whole body shaking with a mixture of fear and excitement.
"Y-yes, I'm fine... Thank you." I whispered, not used to being shocked into this kind of silence before. Jasper looked over his shoulder and nodded to his siblings, with a final smile to me they all dispersed, leaving me alone with him. He tilted his head slightly, his eyes scanning my face.
"It's Georgia, right?" He asked, his golden eyes reaching mine again. I simply nodded my response, he smiled knowingly. Immediately I started to feel a sense of calm overcome me. I licked my suddenly dry lips and watched him. "I'm Jasper Hale, it's nice to meet you ma'am." He smirked and took my hand, bringing it up and kissed my knuckles. As soon as he touched my skin I realised that not only was he paler than me, but he was ice cold. My eyes flashed to my hand in his then back to his face, my eyes widening. As if he remembered something he pulled back and his entire body tensed.
"Are you ok? You're really cold.." I ask gently, my brow furrowing slightly as I survey his reactions.
"I'm fine, I have to get to class though." He half smiled then lifted his gaze to glare at someone over my shoulder. Turning my head I see Alice talking to my sister excitedly. With a sigh I look back to Jasper.
"I have to go too... It was nice to meet you, Jasper." I bite my lip and go to step back before he grabbed my hand again. I looked up at him again in shock.
"Sit with me at lunch? You can bring your sister to if you want, as it seems that my sister has taken a shine to her." He asked, his gleaming eyes pleading me silently. Butterflies took flight in my stomach and I grinned up at him.
"I'd love to, Jasper.. Thank you." I smiled and squeezed his hand before turning and walking past my sister to my first class.

In biology I sat with Bella, both of us talking about everything under the sun besides the work that we had been set. I had learnt that she and her sister, Georgia, used to live here until their parents split up and they moved to Arizona with their mother. Georgia had hated it there; she preferred the woodlands to the city, unlike Bella. Their mother, Renee, had remarried and wanted to travel with her new husband so Bella had decided to move back to Forks with her sister.
"So that's why we're here." Bella casually finished off her story, leaning onto the table, still watching me. I nodded, liking the fact that I was getting to know so much about her. In truth I asked her to sit with me because I had a vision that if she did we would become friends faster. I wanted to be close to her, especially seeing as she is Carlisle's true mate.
"So, how do you like Forks? See any cute guys?" I asked slyly, sending her a look just as she blushed, obviously embarrassed by the question. I giggle and nudge her as gently as I can."Go on, you can tell me! I'm great with secrets."
"No, there isn't anyone. Not really... I mean, he doesn't know I exist, and nor will he ever know." She shrugged it off and I sighed in frustration. Watching her hunched over form I was sucked into a vision.
Vision
"Georgia! Move!" Bella's shrill voice called from the doors of the school. The scene in front of me morphed, I was standing beside Georgia as she lay on the ground, half covered by a van, blood pouring from an open wound at the back of her head.
A snarl behind me welcomed me to the feral eyes of Jasper, his eyes filtered to flat black, hungry and his teeth were bared ready for the kill.
"No Jazz!"
End Vision
"Alice? You ok?" I was brought back to the science room sharply as I looked into Bella's concerned eyes. I shook my head to clear my thoughts before whipping my phone out.
Jazz, don't leave Georgia alone tonight. Vision. Bad. Protect her. – Alice
I hit send before turning and smiling at Bella.
"I'm fine! I just remembered something important that I had to tell Jazz." I smiled reassuringly but could see the suspicion still in her eyes.
"So, what's the deal with Jasper? Does he have a girlfriend or..?" Bella asked casually, her eyebrow rose slightly. I giggle and shake my head.
"Nope, no girlfriend. But I have to say... He sure was taking a liking to your sister yesterday! He couldn't keep his eyes off of her." I grinned at her as she smiled back. "Hey, why don't you and your sister sit with us at lunch today?" I asked, knowing that Jasper had already cleared it with Georgia. "It'll be fun." I add on for good measure.
"What? Like with your whole family?" I nod eagerly. "What if they don't like me?" I snort, shaking my head.
"Trust me, they'll love you! Edward, my boyfriend, likes your sister already from their biology lessons. Emmett likes everyone; Jasper will like you because of Georgia and Rose..." I cough nervously, "don't take Rose too seriously." I grin broadly and can see her thinking it over.
"Alright, sure. Why not?" She smiled at me as I clapped happily just as the bell rings.
"Let's go!" I grab my bag and bounce whilst waiting for her to move.
GPOV
I waited outside the cafeteria for a few minutes, my breathing still semi-erratic from my meeting with Jasper. Other students walked past me, watching me as if I were mad, some whispering that they had seen me talking to the Cullen's so openly. With a heavy sigh I walked into the food hall and looked around. On their table sat Rosalie and Emmett, picking tediously at some food, not eating, seemingly in a deep conversation. I licked my lips and walked to the cue where I picked up a soda and a small cake for myself and a soda and a red apple for my sister. I paid and walked slowly to the Cullen table. Emmett looked up and grinned at me, waving my over.
"Hey clutz how's the head?" He asked, grinning all the while as I opted for the seat beside him rather than beside the steely blonde. I opened my soda and sat, drumming my fingers against the side of it.
"The head is fine, how's the chest?" I return quickly, half smiling as I try and make conversation. With that comment he let out an almighty laugh which drew more attention to my seating arrangement then I would have liked.
"Please, like you could hurt me." He scoffed, leaning over to ruffle my hair. I batted his hand away playfully and scowled at him.
"Not the hair, dude!" I chided as I looked for a small mirror in my bag. "Damnit! Left it at home." I huffed and placed my bag down again as a compact mirror slid itself in front of me. I looked up as Rosalie pulled her hand back, offering the tiniest smile. "Thanks." I smile back as I look into the mirror to fix my hair. Once done I hand it back to her, our skin touched and I tensed, realising that she had the same ice cold feel to her skin as Jasper had.
"No problem." She replied, her eyes immediately hardening as she put it back in her own bag. I took a sip of my soda and turned to look at the door just as my sister walked in next to the pixie and the tall Copper head.
"Eddy! Alice! Over here!" Emmett called, once again drawing unnecessary attention to us. I leant forward to hide my blushing from the onlookers as my sister sat down beside Alice, opposite me. She offered me a smile and I returned it nervously, realising that the only open seat left was to my left, and the only person left was...
"Glad you could make it, darlin'." The southern drawl whispered in my ear as he sat beside me, his arm casually hanging off the back of my chair, causing an unnatural warmth to spread throughout my body at the closeness of his body to mine. I looked up at him through my lashes and smiled as I saw his gentle smile on the perfect face. A snort of laughter came from the other side of the table and I looked up in confusion as Edward started laughing to himself. I frowned.
"What's so funny, copper head?" I asked quickly, using the nickname I had given him in Biology. He stopped laughing at that and jokingly narrowed his eyes.
"Oh, nothing, ginger nut." He returned and I groaned in annoyance.
"Look, I've already told you before. I'm NOT ginger!" I frowned at him and stuck my tongue out for good measure. He only chuckled in response.
"She's not ginger, bro. She's got a little bit of red in there, but not ginger." I tensed as I felt Emmett ruffle my hair again, inspecting the colour in there. "The same as her sister actually." I looked up at Bella and grinned, shaking my head.
"She's got better hair, I think." Bella replied, shrugging her shoulders slightly. At that I had to scoff.
"That's bullshit and you know it." I replied before sliding her the food over the table. I heard a snicker beside me and looked up at Jasper as he shook his head.
"You got a mouth on ya, that's for sure." He winked at me causing me to stir uncomfortably on my chair.
BPOV
I watched the back-and-forth between my sister and the Jasper guy and smiled, they looked good together. In the back of my mind I wondered if Carlisle and I would look that good together before mentally slapping myself into not thinking about such things when I was eating with his foster children.
"So, Bella, tell us about yourself." Edward leant forward in his chair to look at me from the other side of Alice. I licked my lips and shrugged.
"What do you want to know?" I asked, leaning back and playing with my apple before taking a small bite. Emmett sat up straight in his chair and grinned.
"I know! How about your favourite colour?" He grinned at me and I shook my head, laughing slightly at his childish nature. I tapped the apple, thinking.
"It changes... I like brown, but I have to say that right now I like the colour gold." I reply without even thinking then freeze, spotting my mistake. A small smirk curved onto Emmett's features as he leans back, nodding.
"Say, Bella, have you met our father yet? Carlisle Cullen?" Jasper asked, turning his gaze from my sister to me. "According to your father, you're a bit of a clutz and end up in the hospital nine times out of ten." He chuckled shaking his head.
"Clumsiness must run in the family!" Emmett stated, using his elbow to nudge Georgia's side. She flinched and rubbed her side, frowning as she did. The action earned him a glare from Jasper to which he put his hands up, showing he meant no harm in it.
"Yeah, I guess it does... No I haven't met him yet, officially. I think I saw him yesterday, if he drives a black Mercedes that is..." I lick my suddenly dry lips and bite into my apple again to give myself something to do to ward off the eyes that were staring at me. Alice beside me nodded excitedly.
"Yeah, that's him. Don't you think he's handsome?" She asked, grinning at me, causing me to blush brightly. She also, in the process, earned herself a disapproving shake of the head from Edward.
"Well... Erm, yes... He is rather attractive, I mean.. Erm..." I felt something hit my forehead and looked down to see the bottle lid to my sisters' soda bottle.
"Stop rambling." She ordered, grinning at me in the process. "Yes, she thinks he's hot. You should've heard her last night in her sleep." Her grin spread even more, daring me almost. "Oh, Doctor Cullen, your hair, your eyes!" She broke off, chuckling with the rest of the table, leaving me to stare at her completely mortified and blushing myself to a tomato-like state.
"You're not much better, Geo." I state, sitting up and glaring back at her, watching as her gleeful face slowly falls. "Jasper, so beautiful, so perfect, oh Jasper." I raised a brow and leant back in my seat as her eyes widened, her mouth dropped and her face lit up. All laughing stopped and all eyes fell on Georgia before they started to snicker. Jasper however just sat there watching my sister, his face almost smug as he watched her head drop to the table and her hair covered her blushing face.
"Bitch." I heard a mumble from the curtain of hair, causing everyone else to laugh harder at both our discomfort.
"Well, that's brilliant!" Alice squealed. "Georgia likes Jasper and Bella likes Carlisle! Perfect matches!" She grinned and clapped whilst both Georgia and I groaned simultaneously.
"Not one word, Alice." I warned her, frowning at her over excited face. She pouted at me, sighing.
"Fine." She leant back into Edward, who was still chuckling. The bell rang soon after that and I don't think I'd ever seen Georgia move so fast. She was up and out of her chair before any of the rest of us said goodbye to each other.
JPOV
I waited outside her last class, feeling her still prominent humiliation rolling off of her as she walked out. She stopped when she saw me, the humiliation becoming stronger before she turned and walked in the opposite direction.
"Oh come on Georgia, darlin', it's alright." I called after her before running after her, catching up quickly I walked with her to parking lot. "Don't worry about it; I'm rather flattered that you dream about me, actually." I was elated, to be honest, nothing had made me happier since that day that Georgia and I had first kissed in the barn so many years ago. She stalked towards her sisters rusted old truck and hopped up on the bonnet, looking down into her lap as I stood beside her.
"Look, it's not that I'm denying it. I do think you're beautiful. But it's just incredibly embarrassing! I didn't want you to know..." She looked away from me and that made me frown. Lifting a hand I pulled her face to look at me.
"Why not?" I asked, my eyes searching her face, sensing each and every emotion that her body gave out. She sighed and allowed herself to look at me.
"Because I know a guy like you would never like a girl like me." She slid off from the bonnet and moved to the back of the car to throw her bag in, leaning against the end. I was shocked still that I wasn't paying attention.
"Georgia! Move!" I heard the scream and turned to see Bella running towards the truck. The smell of burning tires filled my nostrils as I turned and spotted a van coming skidding towards the end of the truck. Towards Georgia. With a yell of fear I flitted to Georgia's side and pushed her down to the ground, reaching a hand out I braced myself over Georgia and waited for the impact. The van hit my hand with an almighty crunch, and with a squeal of protest from the metal the van slowly caved inwards and bent around us to hit the trucks edge.
"J-jasper?" A hoarse whisper filled my ears and I looked down to see Georgia staring up at me, her brow furrowed in confusion. "How did you..?" I shook my head, releasing the van and lifted her up into my arms. My senses were suddenly filled by the most delicious smell. I looked down and saw that the back of Georgia's head had a small amount of blood trailing down it. I could feel the animal in me roaring, needing to feed. Straight away I placed a mental block, I stopped breathing and I prevented myself from looking at the blood. I could hear the cries around us, the shouts for ambulances and the screams of shock.
"Georgia!" I looked up to see Bella running through the crowds towards us, Alice and Emmett in tow. "Jasper! Is she ok? Georgia!" I looked down at my arms to look at Georgia's closed eyes and limp body.
"We have to get her to the hospital. Emmett and I will take her in his truck. Bella you and Alice follow in your truck. Let's go!" I pushed my way through the crowds, keeping Georgia close in my arms, Emmett slid in front of me and opened the door to the back of truck, I slid in with her still on my lap. Rose got into the front with Emmett and we were soon off.
"Alice has rung Carlisle and he's on hand waiting." Rose turned to look at me before glaring. "You're an idiot! What if she remembers this? What if someone had seen you? Don't you think Jasper?" She accused, causing a growl to rip through my chest.
"Would you rather he lost her again, Rose?" Emmett snapped from the driver's seat as he sped into the hospitals parking lot. With a huff she didn't reply, simply turning her head from me and him. Once parked in front of the hospital I slid out of the back and pulled Georgia into my arms again. Waiting was Carlisle, a stretcher and a few other doctors. Carlisle nodded to me and reluctantly, I placed the limp girl on the stretcher, my eyes never leaving her face as they wheeled her away.
"Son," Carlisle stepped into my line of vision and pressed his hand onto my shoulder, "if you can handle this, then come in. If not, I must insist you go home." He frowned and walked in after my love. I stood there for a moment before backing up, the smell of blood was exceedingly prominent around me and I knew my restraint could only go so far. With one last pained look as the stretcher turned a corner I turned and hopped into the truck again.
"It'll be ok, bro... She's a strong one." Emmett reassured me.
"I know." I whisper as I stare down into my hands.
BPOV
We sat in the waiting room, Charlie and I, nervously watching the clock as it ticked away. With yet another heavy sigh Charlie stood up and started pacing.
"I'm going to kill him, you know? What idiot drives when there's ice on the roads?!" He started the same rant that I'd been listening to for the past half an hour.
"Charlie!" I finally shouted at him. "It was a freak accident, it could've happened to anyone, alright?"
"Your daughter's right, Charlie." A deep voice came from the end of the corridor. I turned and looked but froze immediately.
"Carlisle..." Charlie breathed out, walking to meet him, "is she ok? What's wrong?" He asked hurriedly. Carlisle pressed a hand to Charlie's arm and smiled.
"She's fine. Simply a concussion and a small scratch at the back of her head. Nothing wrong with her senses and after getting her some pain killers, I will allow her to go home." He smiled brightly at Charlie before nodding to a nurse to show him to my sister's room. After Charlie had rounded the corner Carlisle turned to me.
"Thank you," I whispered, staring up at him, "for helping my sister." I smiled as he chuckled.
"It's my job, Isabella." He replied, shaking his head.
"Bella." I responded, out of habit more than anything, and winced slightly as I did.
"Bella.." He seemed to be testing it in his mouth before nodding. "A very apt name, did you know that it means 'beautiful' in Italian?" He raised a brow and I nodded gently.
"I did, sir." I blushed slightly, clearing my throat before rocking back on my heels. "Your son, Jasper, is actually the reason for my sister's life still being here. He got to her so fast, and he..." I stopped, frowning, thinking it over, "he stopped the van..."
Looking up again at him I could see him still smiling, shaking his head slightly.
"When a body goes into shock it tells the brain it sees things that aren't actually there. I'm sure he didn't 'stop' the van, you probably just thought you saw that." He smiled down at me, his golden eyes gentle.
"I know what I saw." I crossed my arms stubbornly, watching his face closely.
"Well, either way she was very lucky..." I nod, biting my lip before holding out my hand to him.
"Thank you again, Doctor Cullen." I smiled, he took my hand and I flinched slightly, his hand was ice cold, strong and sent an unfamiliar tingle through my arm.
"My pleasure, Bella. But please, call me Carlisle." He smiled sweetly, his eyes searching my face before nodding his head again, that slight bow hidden behind the features again. "Have a nice evening." With that he left me, turning his back on me and walking down another corridor, I was left standing there, watching his retreating form until I couldn't see him anymore.
CPOV
I was euphoric. I had finally met my love. She was exactly how I remembered her, so sweet, yet determined. She truly was perfect. Driving home from the hospital she was all I could think of, her face, the way the slight blush tickled her neck, the intelligent chocolate eyes that searched my every move, and the delicate, soft skin that held my hand so carefully.
Upon reaching the house I parked my car in the garage and stepped out. Looking to Emmett's jeep I see him standing there, holding it up, whilst Rosalie's legs were sticking out from under it.
"More work on the monster?" I joked to them, and Emmett rolled his eyes.
"There's always something wrong with my baby." He huffed as he playfully looked down at Rose who had climbed out from under the car, rubbing her oily hands on an old rag. I nodded to her and smiled before walking into the living room and placing my briefcase down on the coffee table. I heard heavy footfalls quickly moving from upstairs and looked up to see Jasper's blurred form running towards me.
"Where is she? Is she alright? She isn't hurt is she? I'm an idiot! I'm sorry Carlisle, I had to do it!" He started spurting questions and apologies to me and I felt nothing but empathy for my newest son.
"Jasper, calm yourself. I'm not mad. I would have done exactly the same thing in your shoes. She's fine; I've dismissed her from the hospital. She only had a minor concussion and a small scratch, nothing to be afraid of. She'll be sore but should be back at school by next Monday. I assure him, patting his shoulder gently.
"That's four days I won't see her!" He protested haughtily, and I could feel his aggravation rolling off of him.
"You lived without her for over 100 years, Jasper; you can stay away from her for a few days." I sigh, shaking my head and sitting down. "But I must discuss something with you all." Knowing they could all hear me I waited for all of my children to fill the room and sit down. "Bella Swan saw what happened. She was the only real witness to the accident and saw what Jasper did to protect Georgia. This may be a problem, as I didn't want either of them to be brought into our world too soon... But we may have to speed things up. Both know that something isn't right with us."
"Georgia has noticed our eyes and temperature." Edward cut in, frowning at the floor. "I can't read Bella though... It's like she's blocking me, but I don't know how."
"Interesting..." Emmett whispered, rubbing his chin gently. "My little sister may be a shield." A chuckle arose from Edward as he nodded gently, his chuckle was cut off as he looked to Alice who had frozen.
"Another vision?" Jasper sat up, his eyes widening as he watched her. All of a sudden she squealed and clapped her hands happily.
"They'll be gorgeous!" She giggled. Confused at what she was talking about I raised a brow to Edward who was smiling.
"Bella and Georgia... She's just seen them both. As vampires. I have to say, they will be a rival to Heidi and Rosalie in their beauty." He commented lightly. I simply looked to Jasper and grinned at him.
"That does not surprise me." I whisper.
Thanks guys! I hope you enjoyed it! I love you all so much!
