Chapter 6-Meeting Bella Swan
Carlisle's POV
It was my typical Monday morning. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Nothing except that Alice and Jasper both seemed unusually excited this morning and I felt that I was missing the joke. They both had been acting oddly since the day that Alice had the vision the Edward was coming home on Thursday. Oh well, maybe I was just imagining things.
Jasper and I left at the same time. Jasper was studying at Cornell, and he was also in my ten o'clock General Medicine class this morning. Jasper recently acquired a Chrysler Crossfire to transport himself from place to place. Recently Jasper had been extremely excited about something, but what I didn't know. Maybe he had just been spending way too much time with Alice.
When I arrived at the university, I caught a peculiar scent in the air. It was a scent that I hadn't smelt in nearly nine months and it was not like I could forget this particular scent. It was the scent of the only human that ever knew the Cullen Family's secret. The scent was none other than Bella Swan's. Why was Bella at Cornell, and why didn't Alice have a vision about her arrival?
I turned to Jasper and he just smiled. Then I realized that Alice did have a vision. She just chose to keep it for everyone besides Jasper. Well don't I feel loved. I just thought to myself maybe I wouldn't see her and maybe Bella was just at Cornell by coincidence. Yeah, that's what it was, just a big coincidence. So Jasper and I continued on our way to the classroom.
It was visitor's week this week so I was expecting new faces in my class. I stood at my door as usual and greet all of my students, took the passes of the visitors and instructed them to the back row of the classroom.
I glanced back down the hallway and Jasper was coming down the hall. He came and stood by me. He was still smiling.
"Jasper, Please tell me what exactly your so happy about?"
"Oh, its nothing Carlisle." And I let it drop. Then I caught Bella's scent once again. It was so strong. That meant that she must be in the building. Then I saw the door to the stairwell open and a girl with pale skin, large brown eyes, and dark brown hair. I knew this girl. This girl was practically family. She was my son, one and only love. It was bella, Bella Swan.
I was in shock. Why was Bella in the medical building? She fainted at the very sight of blood. So my earlier thoughts that her being here was just a coincidence were wrong. She somehow found out were we, the Cullens, were and she had come to find us.
She walked straight up to Jasper and I, handed me her pass and then walked into the room. Jasper gave me a slight smirk and followed Bella into the room. I walked into the room still somewhat shocked. I noticed that Jasper went to sit in the back with Bella.
I attempted to start my class as usual. I introduced myself to the new students and they introduced themselves t me. When it was Bella's turn I stopped her before she could speak.
"Bella Swan, I never thought I'd see the day when I say you within a mile of a medical class."
"I'd never thought I'd see the day that Alice let you out of the house with that shirt on. Or your wife for that matter." Bella replied. Ah how I've missed. I glanced down at my plaid shirt. I really liked my shirt.
" Jasper gave this to me for Christmas." I retorted, even though Jasper really didn't.
"No I didn't you brought that off the Internet when Alice and Esme were 'shopping'" Jasper replied.
Everyone in the classroom was staring at this point. I just simply said, "It's a long story" and continued on with my lesson. While I was teaching, my mind drifted to the fact that Edward was coming back on Thursday and Bella was here. This was perfect! No really it was. Edward was acting like a, what word did Alice use to describe him the other day, and Eno kid, no, emu kid, wait no it was and Emo kid, and Bella would make him better. He would not be able to leave her again. He was too weak in that department.
I noticed that Bella had drifted off into her own dream world. I wondered if she was thinking about Edward. She probably was. She didn't look to well herself. Leaving did not do her any good. Once the class ended I called. "Um, Bella, please stay after class, if you don't mind." Of course she didn't mind.
I led Bella into my office and Jasper also joined us. Once I shut the door, Jasper and I both hugged Bella. We were both happy to see her.
"Bella, my dear, it is so wonderful to see you again. Our whole family has missed you so much, especially Alice and Esme, and of course Edward. He misses you so much; he just feels the need to protect me. This was by far of his biggest mistakes ever.' I told Bella. Her eyes seemed to brighten at the mention of Edward.
"Wait is Edward, back at your house?" Bella asked hopefully. I was about to answer but Jasper beat me to it
"No I'm sorry Bella. Edward's not home, but he is coming back on Thursday! Isn't that wonderful!" Jasper seemed so happy at that fact. Edward always gave Jasper confidence. "Bella come and stay with us at the house. Everyone will be so excited to see you. Please come back with us? I'm going home right now because I am free for the rest of the day. Carlisle still had three more classes to teach, my other teachers are at a conference so we don't have any of those classes all week. How lucky am I?"
"Okay!" and Bella followed Jasper out of the room. I was so glad that Bella had come and found us. Maybe our family will soon be back to the way it was very soon. In three days to be exact.
