Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of its characters, Daithi is mine though, all mine. But the Twilight people/places belong to Stephanie Meyer.

AU: I just thought I'd mention this, even though it seems odd the amount of time the Cullen's have stayed in Forks and the whole town must think they get a lot of plastic surgery, we are just going to stick with it and pretend all of the humans of Forks are dim and haven't noticed a family living there for over a decade haven't changed.

Chapter Four

TIME SKIP TO 2013 AND IT'S DAITHI'S POINT OF VIEW.

I inhaled deeply as I stepped of the ship which after so long as one of the most prominent modes of transportation was my favourite, I'd just arrived from England which is the first place I'd gone to search for my Carlisle a few weeks ago.

There had been twenty-four Cullen's in the phone book and more out of it so it had taken me a while to be certain that Carlisle was not in England so I had got on the next ship heading for America, I had no idea why but I had the feeling that Carlisle would try to stick to English speaking countries, so if he wasn't in America I would search Australia even though that was unlikely seeing as the amount of cold rainy places there were considerable less than England and America.

I was in New York and quickly got myself a comfortable hotel room with a Wi-Fi connection, I didn't bother unpacking me two suitcases and began searching through major hospitals state by state, I was one-hundred per cent cure that Carlisle wouldn't have stopped being a doctor, to help my search in my last years with my Sire I had got a doctors licence so no finding the names of doctors in any hospital wouldn't be a problem for me though sometimes I got annoying e-mails telling me to wait an hour or two whilst they checked my credentials, after all you could never be too careful with terrorists these days, I scoffed, and what was to stop a terrorist being a doctor?

It took me four days to search every major hotel in the United States of America, I had some luck on tracking Carlisle a hospital in Chicago had employed a Carlisle Cullen in the eighties but he had left apparently to find a quieter atmosphere, which in layman's terms meant a hospital that would be hard for me to track down, the only clue that they had left me was that he had mentioned going to Washington or somewhere nearby, the admin worker couldn't quite remember what he had said, probably too stunned that a gorgeous man like Carlisle was even talking to her.

It took me nearly another week to send e-mails to the smaller hospitals in or close to Washington, on the sixth day I stalked out of my hotel room to do two things; the first was feed, my eyes were pure black I was so hungry, I hadn't fed on the ship and I had been holed up in my hotel for nearly two weeks so after feeding from two back robbers I managed to buy a huge map of Washington in a quaint little store and some marker pens.

I used my laptop, the map and marker pens to narrow down the places which had the least amount of sunshine: Quillayute, Astoria, Eugene, to name a few but one that stuck out the most probably because of it's ridiculous name was Forks but considering it was such a small town there wasn't much chance a vampire would risk living there for a long time, right?

I checked the hospitals of those places anyway and was practically growling in frustration as I read the employee lists until I got to one and just stared at it slack-jawed for a minute:

FORK'S GENERAL HOSPITAL EMPLOYEE LIST:

DOCTORS:

Dr L. Appleby

Dr J. Watson

Dr M Grey

Dr I Langdon

Dr C Clove

SURGEONS:

Dr K Price

Dr C Cullen

NURSES:

By that time I'd stopped reading, C Cullen! It had to be my Carlisle; I picked up the phone and dialled the hospitals reception desk still vibrating with joy.

"Forks General Hospital, Jennifer speaking" she sounded like she'd rather be anywhere but behind a reception desk, but I didn't care I was far too excited.

"Hi, a doctor from your hospital saved my gran's life not too long ago and I would just LOVE to be able to show my appreciation" I gushed instantly catching her attention

"Aw, that's so sweet! How can I help?"

"Well, I'd love to be able to send some flowers to the surgeon who saved her, um Cruller? Crandon? Something like that?" I said desperately hoping she wouldn't tell me to send them to the hospital and not give me his address.

"Cullen? Dr Cullen? Oh he is amazing isn't he? Well look I'll just give you his address and you can send them, oh by the way I once saw him receive a bunch of white roses and he didn't look happy" as she happily gave out Carlisle's address to me a total stranger I mentally growled at her, he hated white roses because his father had forced him to tend to a neighbour's roses for a year when he was caught stealing apples from their orchard, he had been fourteen at the time, he had hated roses especially white ones after that.

I spat out a quick thank you after she rattled of the address and I grabbed my cases and immediately left the hotel to find a car dealership.

An hour later I came out with a silver Porsche Panamera and left a very happy car salesman, not that he had to do much work I walked in, saw the car and bought it, like Julius Caesar once said Veni, Vidi, Vici; I came, I saw, I conquered.

I sped towards Washington without further delay; I had made Carlisle wait for long enough.

Unfortunately for me traffic was not on my side if there were no cars on the road it would have taken me about two hours factoring in my vampire reflexed but because of traffic and speeding laws it took me just over five hours to get to Washington and another hour to get to Port Angeles, the only reason I stopped there was because I wanted to look my best for Carlisle when he first saw me so I paid for a 24 hour stay in a nice looking hotel not that I'd be there for over an hour but you tended to be directed towards motels if you asked to only stay an hour.

I showered and blow dried my hair and changed into a nice outfit, a pair of Dolce & Gabbana slacks and dark purple shirt with a black cashmere Hermes scarf and considering the weather I added a Milford coat and of course a pair of black gloves I didn't want to risk touching people.

I giddily sped towards Forks and being as excited as I was I missed the turn off to Carlisle's house…twice.

I got there eventually and I immediately knew he's expanded his coven even more, he'd told me he wanted to add people and I could smell at least eight vampire's scents here alongside my beautiful Carlisle's as well as…dog, dog? Why would Carlisle have bought a dog? He couldn't be that desperate for food, there was a whole forest not twenty metres away from his front door!

With a sigh I slipped on a pair of sunglasses that were so dark not even a vampire could see my eyes clearly through them, from the murmuring inside as I approached I deduced that I had been spotted/smelt/heard arriving.

I knocked gently on the door not wanting to break it down like I'd done a few times in my early years and then took three steps backwards as was polite as to not intimidate whoever answered the door; a pretty brunette female vampire with golden eyes answered the door with a hesitant smile on her face "Hello"

"Hello, is Dr Cullen in?" I asked, she seemed nice

"Not at the moment I'm afraid, would you like to come in and wait? He should be home in half an hour"

"Yes please, that would be lovely" I followed her into the living room where I was confronted with six other vampires, a vampire/human hybrid and a human that smelt strangely enough like wet dog? Maybe he had rolled around with his pet?

"Well…Carlisle's certainly been busy, excuse my lack of knowledge but I only recognize Edward, Rosalie, Alice, Isabella and Renesmee"

The largest vampire in the room whom I had no prior knowledge about took a few steps forward and immediately demanded "who are you?"
luckily Rosalie I guessed from the description Carlisle had given me, stepped up to me "It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Edward and I have been dying to actually meet you for years" she practically gushed which form the looks she was getting was uncharacteristic of her.

We hugged quickly before Edward practically shoved her away to take her place in my arms which she just rolled her eyes at "It's amazing to finally meet you" he whispered even though only the full vampires actually heard what he said.

Rosalie laughed at the incredulous looks and finally explained "Carlisle met Daithi in London in the twenties, unfortunately Edward and I had already left for the states" she stopped and let out a slight squeal "Carlisle is going to be so happy you're here! You're picture really doesn't do you justice"

I sat down in the armchair Edward waved me towards and before anyone could ask, Rosalie, Edward or I any questions I turned to the smelly boy "what are you?"

I knew it was rude but he smelt far too strongly of wet dog to have been playing with his pet

He laughed and replied "I'm Jacob, a wolf shape-shifter form the Quileute tribe down at La Push"

Renesmee who had been sat on the floor next to the piano stood and walked over to me, I knew that she was only eight years old even though she bore the appearance of a nineteen year old and she reached out to touch my cheek, Edward and Rosalie shouted "no!" as I tried to lean back to evade her touch, but she ignored them and surged forward to grasp my cheek, I immediately stilled and watched her life pass by my very eyes, then I heard a young girls voice inside my mind 'How do you know me?" and my earlier words of knowing her Alice, Isabella, Rosalie and Edward echoed inside my mind.

I gently pried

Her hand from my cheek with my gloved hand "I'll tell you later little one, please don't touch me again, it makes me…uncomfortable"

She nodded shyly and returned to her previous seat as Edward turned towards Jacob "you kissed my daughter?" he'd obviously watched with me as Renesmee's life flashed through my mind and had seem Jacob shyly peck Renesmee goodnight a few months earlier.

I interrupted before Jacob could make him angrier "Edward, she's a beautiful girl, she's going to be kissed at some point, calm down"

That didn't stop Edward from glaring at Jacob and grumbling under his breath, after five minutes of silence, interrupted only by Edwards mumbled death threats the large vampire approached me again this time much friendlier than before "I'm Emmet, Rosalie's husband and the coolest vampire you'll ever meet" he shook my hand with his bear paw which swallowed my hand completely, then vampire who had been hovering over Alice cautiously approached looking weary, I saw his scars and deduced he must have been on the vampire territory wars, he was a formidable warrior to have survived them.

"I'm Jasper, Alice's husband" I detected a slight Texas drawl in his accent, yep the southern territory wars.

Alice practically skipped over to me "I'm Alice as you already know, Carlisle is going to be so happy to see you!" considering her gift of psychic visions of the future I didn't doubt her.

The woman who had opened the door came over "I'm Esme, Carlisle told me about you, it's very nice to meet you" I smiled and shook her hand, before Isabella could come over we all heard a car pull up in the drive way and expectantly look at the door.

"Hey guys, who bought a new car-?" Carlisle stopped in his tracks mid-sentence. He was just as gorgeous as I remembered him.

"D-Daithi?" he gasped.

I smirked.

AU: Kudos to anyone who spots the two Sherlock (BBC) mentions in this chapter and the Grey's Anatomy one. Hope you all liked the chapter.

Also that was my longest chapter ever!
