Part Three: Home

Alive. Well. Safe. Those were the only words that I could comprehend when I received the phone call from Alice the next morning. I was in our room; Jasper, Emmet, and Rosalie were downstairs watching a movie; and Carlisle was at the hospital for a few hours. He didn't want to leave me, but I urged him to go. The hospital was one of the places where he could escape and take his focus off of anything. His mind was moving so fast there that he possibly couldn't have any time to think of the problems back home. So he went reluctantly, but reminded me multiple times that he'd be back in a few hours.

"I won't be gone long and don't hesitate to call if anything comes up," He place his hands on my waist and kissed me on the forehead.

"I won't forget, Carlisle, I promise. Just please, you need a break, I'll be here," I assured him, taking in a deep breath and gently kissing his collarbone.

He tilted my chin so that our eyes met. Then his lips overtook mine and I was locked in fire of it all. I pulled myself closer to him, if that was possible, and deepened the kiss.

"I love you," He murmured and stroked my cheek gently before running out the front door.

"Emmet! Jasper! Rosalie!" I bellowed at the top of my lungs as I flew down the stairs.

They stood up immediately from the coach.

"What, Mom? What happened?" Jasper rushed over to me, followed closely by Emmet and Rosalie.

"They're all right!" I exclaimed, kissing them each on the cheek and hugging them countless times.

The looks on all their faces was priceless, like the look on a little girl's face when her daddy comes home from a war for Christmas. The most innocent, excited, genuine face you had ever seen!

"When are they coming back?" Emmett bellowed as soon as he had gathered his senses.

"Alice said that they're finding a flight now and that she'll call us when they know." I clapped my hands together in excitement.

"What about Bella? Is she all right?" Rosalie asked quietly from behind Emmet.

"Yes, just very exhausted, dear." I stepped forward to pull her into a hug and Emmet and Jasper joined in.

"I'm so happy that we will all be together again," I sighed in contentment.

Carlisle was right about last night. Everything would be all right. Everything would definitely be okay.

"Carlisle!" I gasped. I looked at the surprised faces of Emmet, Jasper, and Rosalie at my sudden outburst. "I need to tell him. You stay here and wait for Alice's call." I instructed.

I grabbed the keys to Edward's Volvo that rested on the dining room table.

"I love you all!" I called as I left their smiling faces behind.

I screeched to a halt in the small Forks Hospital Parking lot. Swiftly turning off the car, I ran out of the car—almost forgetting to close the door behind me.

I ran as fast as I could. No human could question my speed if I moved to fast for him or her to see it, but I slowed down anyways as I got to the front doors. Before I opened them, I inhaled and exhaled once, catching my breath. I burst through the glass doors and ran human speed to the front desk. The whole lobby was crowded with people.

"Excuse me, I would like to speak with Dr. Carlisle Cullen," I stated. "I'm Esme, his wife."

"Oh, well he's in surgery right now, Mrs. Cullen, but should be out in the next ten minutes," the clerk (who's name read Ms. Shane) told me.

"Please, could you tell me what room he is in? This is a very urgent matter," I pressed.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Cullen, but it is hospital rules that Doctors are not to be disturbed while in surgery," Her old voice was growing impatient, but not as much as I was.

"Please ma'am I--."

But I was cut off by the sounds of laughter coming from down the hallway. I picked out that laugh easily—the flawless, church-bell sounding one.

I turned to face the sounds of happiness and no doubt there he was: Carlisle, walking fluidly and gracefully. He made even all the other handsome, young interns next to him look barely decent. His white teeth shimmered and his laugh rang throughout my entire being. And somewhere deep inside my soul—if we even have one—I could feel my heart beat erratically. Not only did I have wonderful news, but he also looked happy, genuinely happy. No matter the situation he would always make the best of it and that was one of the many things I loved about him.

"Carlisle!" I called.

He looked up from his paperwork in a flash and immediately dropped it.

I ran to him in human speed, jumping into this arms, unaware and not caring that there were many people watching.

He lifted my small frame off of the floor as we embraced each other and he kissed my hair.

"They're s…sa…safe," I choked out as he pulled away to look at each other.

He didn't say anything; he didn't have to. I could feel it, like a vibe. I hadn't felt more communication between us till that moment. Then he pressed his lips to mine. It was sweet and utterly romantic, but simple. He told me what he felt about me all in that simple kiss and it was incredible. The whole lobby erupted in cheers, but my eyes and thoughts were only for Carlisle. I've never seen him happier in my entire life of being with him—besides our wedding day that is.

We just beamed at each other during those precious moments that he held me and gazed at each other, we knew that everything would not be okay, but that everything would be wonderful.

Awe I just love happy endings don't you. Thank you all for reading and reviewing my story. Be sure to check out my other one: Carlisle and Esme. I'm thinking of renaming it, so if you have any ideas PM me one. Again, thanks for reading. =)
