Read it and weep! Haha!

I wondered how Bella was doing. She usually didn't cope well in stressed situations; and I am using the word usually very loosely here. She would fidget with the first thing she could find; that thing was normally the hem of her shirt but sometimes it would be her warm brown hair; and then her words would come out all wrong and then this would become a vicious circle of embarrassment until someone intervened.
But when she was human she would turn the most delicious shade of crimson. Ever so tempting, so beautiful, so warm. It was these thoughts that made me miss her blush, her clumsiness and the warmth of her skin. I would miss the feel of her soft warm lips, the sound of her pounding heart as my skin made contact with hers. Sometimes it would lead me to regret my decision to change her but then I would think of how my life would be without my beautiful Bella and I would know I made the right choice – no matter how selfish it was.
I always thought I was so foolish to be so attached to some meaningless human girl, but that was before I knew Bella as much as I do know. That was before I found out I was in love. That was before I found out that we were meant to be and nothing; not even my foolishness; could destroy our love.
As I sat in Carlisle's personal study lost in my thoughts of Bella, her humanity, her immortal self and why I was so attached to her, Carlisle walked in. He gracefully walked into his study carrying a clipboard and mumbling thoughts of something about a patient's cancerous cell.
If only I had caught it sooner. He would have never had gone comatose and we could have prevented his near heart failure. I'm sure the cancer in his lungs wouldn't have affected this, maybe it was the blood. Maybe his kidneys are shutting down. I'm going to have to look further into this... Carlisle trailed off in his thoughts. He could get so wrapped up his work that it was all he could think about for days. It was at times like these we could all see the dedication he had to the hospital. Well, might as well make myself known. I coughed lightly to get his attention and it worked.
Oh Edward's here. I wonder what this is about, as long as my desk remains safe from their active sex lives then everything will be fine.
"Right Edward," he sighed, as he noticed me perching on the edge of his comfortable couch, "What is it you wanted to discuss with me?" I hope your not going to tell me I'll need another desk? He thought as he raised one of his eyebrows slightly.
I chuckled before I answered. "No, your desk is fine. We wont be making that mistake again, I can assure you." Carlisle sighed in relief at the news of his desk.
I was mentally slapping myself as I remembered that eventful afternoon that led to the violation of Carlisle's desk. I remembered the time an unfortunate, unsuspecting Carlisle walked innocently into his study, while Bella and I were doing… not so innocent things on his desk.
(Flashback)
It all happened so fast. An innocent flirtatious smile led to the hurried clearing of Carlisle's desk. Oh Bella could drive me crazy sometimes and I'm sure she knew it. It wasn't only her lack of control. Oh no it was far from that, it was mine as well.
Her skin brushed across mine as she traced fiery trails up and down my back earning a low moan from me. I hurriedly whisked off her top and appreciated her in all her glory. She was glorious. The word didn't even begin to describe how beautiful she really was.
My mouth hungrily captured hers with an urgency that sent us over the edge. We didn't care who caught us. We didn't care what we destroyed. In our passion it was only us in the universe. My mouth left hers and trailed kisses along her neck as she dug her nails into my back.
I was laying her down on Carlisle's desk when Carlisle innocently walked in.
I really need to find her file. I'm sure it was on my desk, or maybe it was saved on my computer. He thought as he walked into the room.
We went unnoticed until he went to use his computer, which was currently discarded, on the floor.
What the.. Oh dear lord. I didn't need to see that! It's bad enough with Rosalie and Emmett! There is some things best left behind closed doors and this is one of them.
We noticed him at the same time he noticed us. And that is a sure way to kill a mood.
(End Flashback)
"Edward…" he sigh as he looked at me with a disapproving look. He was about to say something before he decided against it. His thoughts didn't tell me what it was, so I decided not to pry. "You know I had to get a new desk, right? I really liked that desk!"
"We really are sorry about that. We learned our lesson, but we contributed to your new desk - doesn't that count for anything?"
Well.. I suppose he is right. But it's the fact that I caught my children doing things I would have rather not seen. It's like another Emmett and Rosalie and one pare of them is bad enough.
"So Edward, what was it you wanted to talk to me about because we never got round to discussing it." He asked in a more serious tone. I hope everything is all right. He looks so serious; well he normally is but since Bella has entered his life he has been so happy... No... That's not possible. Is it? Could they really be fighting? Could they really not love each other? No, don't be silly Carlisle.
Carlisle's mental argument with himself made me angry. More than angry. Furious! Did they really have so little faith in our relationship? Did they really think it wouldn't last!? "Carlisle, how could you even think that!?" I roared in anger at his thoughts, "How could you have so little faith in us!? And no, our relationship is still going strong and nothing will ever change that!"
Edward, you know I didn't really think that it would happen. It was only a wild guess, no it was even less than that. Don't be offended. I have more faith in your relationship with Bella than you could ever know. Now hurry up and tell me what it was you wanted to say. I have to examine a patients symptoms and figure out if it is related to the cancer or not, so I don't have all day you know.
"Your right, I'm sorry. It's just that... I have thought so many times that she would get scared and run away from me. And she wouldn't and now I know she never will, but I will always have that doubt and your thoughts they just made my own much clearer and I was.. scared. Scared that they would come true."
Edward don't be foolish. She loves you and only you. Everyone can see that. Now once again I will say, hurry up and tell me what you came here to say!
"We are planning to move…" I blurted out unthinkingly.
EMMETT!!!! Carlisle thought as he averted his eyes.
"No, No, No! It's not Emmett… well he is annoying me but anyway! We have agreed to move away because we feel that we need some… privacy." I explained. I knew Carlisle would understand. I just hope that he doesn't have a problem with it.
"Well, I have to say Edward, I am pretty surprised! Do you know where to go?" He looked anxious.
Esme's thoughts, right on cue, entered my head. Hmmm… Glasgow in Scotland! Yes! That's perfect! They will fit right in with the Douglas Clan!
"Yes. We are moving to Scotland." Thank you Esme, "Glasgow to be precise, with the Douglas Clan! Esme has it all sorted. There is no need to worry!"
Edward, I'm not sure. There are many human feeding clans in the area… the most troublesome is nearest to where you will be! It was flattering to know how much Carlisle cared. Lord, he really looked worried!
"Don't worry! We can handle them!" I attempted to ease his mind.
"I really hope you are right, Edward!" he glanced at me and left the room at vampire speed, wandering back to his patient at work.
Glasgow actually sounds really good. To be honest, I couldn't wait!
