AN- Sorry about all the confusion on this chapter. I have rewritten most this chapter and turned this story in a different direction. So hopefully it makes more sense and makes the story begin to come alive faster. I changed Alice's vision which changed the direction of this story. I hope you enjoy.

Thanks to Blue77 for making me rethink this story. I needed it.

Please remember to leave me a review after you finish.

Chapter 4- updated on 4/6/10

Previously- "We have a basement?"

EPOV

"yes, but I guess you wouldn't know how to get into it yet?" he said jokingly. "Come, I will show you."

"In the past, we would only allow ourselves this time with others when I could persuade you to go on a hunt, run errands, or whatever I could creatively come up with to get you out of the house. Only once has it occurred when you were in the house." He said proudly.

"Edward, do you feel comfortable with Bella? I mean do you believe she is your soul mate?" he asked me while walking through the house.

"Carlisle, I feel that she may be my soul mate, but I am not totally sold on it yet. Today at lunch, I approached her, just to talk and see if she would be interested in eating lunch with Emmett and I. She reached across my arm to grab some silverware and lightly touched it with her arm, I felt like she shocked me with something, then this warmness pulsated through our bodies."

"You said, 'our bodies', did she feel it too?"

"Yes, we talked about it for sometime afterwards. It seemed that we felt something but it was hard to describe."

"Edward, I am not sure if she is or isn't your soul mate but it does mean that you will have a close bond with her. Make sure you take things slow and let them develop in their own time."

**CPOV**

I don't think Edward even noticed where I was leading him to till we came upon the secret door to the basement. The door was secretly hidden by a massive shelving unit along one of the walls in the mud room. He didn't even notice it until I went to opened it. I lead him down a flight of stairs where the room opened up in to a rather spacious room. It had numerous couches in the center and circling around the room were a series of doors. There were six doors in total and each door was painted in a different color. I briefly mentioned that one of the other doors was a closet; the other one, well I was embarrassed to even bring it up, but it was for the girls to use when they wanted to explore…other distractions. At that Edward turned and just looked at me with a goofy grin on his face. I guess he might to be a fly on the wall along side me. I quickly went on to explain that each male in the family had a color that corresponded to their room. I told him that he had a room here too, but couldn't show him until he had an interest in finding a mate. I walked him over to a silver door and he opened it. The room was rather empty; it had a few dim lights on but not much else. I explained to him that he could design it however he wanted but I suggested that he should keep it simple. I am not sure what Edward thought about all of this because he was keeping his emotions very much in control at the moment. Edward was usually easy enough to read, his body language and his facial expressions usually gave him away but not tonight. I told him that he could use this room with whomever he wished with my prior approval.

My mind kept returning to all the things that have happened in these rooms. The crazy things I have tried in here were mind blowing to say the least. Some of my fondest memories came from such activities. I only wish I could use it more often, but ever since Esme and I decided about a decade ago to just part ways as mates and live as friends I haven't had many chances to enjoy these rooms like I used to. I wish one day that I might be able to again, but I haven't thought much about seeking a new mate.

"Edward, what you use your room for is your business. I will not ,nor would I want you to be involved with anyone that you did not wish to be with. I will tell you it does yield more privacy than the bedrooms upstairs."

He seemed to think that over some, but he didn't look too convinced. "I want you to be happy. If you would rather not use this room it is fine with me but know it is here for you."

I walked out of Edwards's new room back up to my study and left him with his thoughts. I wanted and needed to sort out our conversation and see what my questions would be to Bella when she came over tomorrow evening.

I am curious to see if Edward has found his soul mate after all these many years. I had wished that his soul mate came to him in the form of a vampire though, but seeing that the possibility of her being a human will complicate things for him quite a bit. I can only wonder what hurdles he will have to overcome to be with her. I wonder what Alice can see regarding Bella and Edwards's future. I could hear her looking through some catalogs in her room. So I simply spoke her name, knowing she would hear me and come into my office. I needed to hear what she saw about our newest family member.

**APOV**

I was just killing some time looking at some catalogs for the new spring line coming out when I heard my Carlisle call out to me. I quickly went to his office and sat down in one of his large leather chairs. He briefly mentioned that Edward had been in and was telling him about this new girl in school. He asked me if I had met her or if I had any classes with her. I told him that I heard about her, all the students had been talking of her in the recent weeks but since I haven't been to school this week I wasn't up on all the gossip. He seemed satisfied with my response but then he had that look on his face that he was going to ask me to use my power to look for something.

"is there something I should know about regarding this young girl?" I asked.

"Alice, it seems that Edward has taking a bit of fondness to her, would you mind too much to see what sort of future these two would have together?" he sheepishly asked. He hated me to use my power to spy on strangers so this must mean it was serious.

"Of course, I would be glad to." I closed my eyes and thought of Edward, then I remembered this girls' face. I kept my eyes closed to help me focus on my thoughts, seeing a human was harder than vampires but this vision came rather quickly and easier than I expected. The vision first showed them talking at school, but jumped again to see standing outside our house talking with someone, but it wasn't Bella. I opened my eyes to see Carlisle anxiously waiting my results, if any. I told him of my vision but it didn't seem to answer the questions he was hoping for but he seemed at ease. I guess he felt that way because I didn't see them together, that would have been odd, to have a human in the house dating one of my pretend brothers.

**EPOV**

My father left me in this empty room that is supposed to be used for sex…with my so called siblings….I just couldn't believe what he was telling me. I mean I would have never guessed in a million years that I would hear Carlisle talk to me about my so called siblings have sex with each other. I mean we aren't really true siblings in that sense, but we do consider ourselves a family. I have never thought about being intimate with them before today.

How could this possibly go on around me all these years? Have I lived in a bubble or what? I am a mind reader after all, what power do they have to block such thoughts about what they were doing behind my back. I mean Alice and Carlisle both have learned over the years that they could hide some of their thoughts from me but the others have not. I know for a fact that Emmett would have been thinking about this a lot, maybe I have just missed the who but not the what with him. He is a very sexual and lustful creature and I would had only guessed that all his thoughts would have been about Rose, but if he didn't think of someone else per se I would not have known different.

Now that I have had a few moments to think about all this news, I wonder what it would be like to be with Rose or Esme. They are both very different creatures. I bet Rose would be a fierce lover and Esme would be a gentle one. The thought of asking Esme to join me down here was beginning to seem like a good idea. I knew she and Carlisle only pretended to be mates in Forks to help us be appear like a normal family, but about a decade ago they parted ways as mates. I will have to think about asking her to join me sometime and test out this room. I guess I would need to add a few things in here to make it more comfortable and useable.

My thoughts began to return to Bella. I wonder if she is my soul mate. I wasn't for certain by any means but I barely even know her. Carlisle said that we would have a strong bond, but he didn't say for sure that she could possibly be my soul mate. Maybe she will be or maybe I will find someone else, but what I did know was that I was ready to begin looking for my eventual mate. I was finally ready to have one.

**BPOV**

When I got home from school this afternoon I went up to my room and fell on to my bed. I began thinking about my day at school and talking with Edward for the first time. When I was getting my fork my arm had touched his and something had happened, I wasn't sure of what it was but it was something. We both felt it and then I felt a certain draw to him. I am not sure that we are destined to be soul mates but you never know what will happen. I did know that we were friends and I don't think that will change. I am not certain that I have feelings for him but it's still too early to even think about that right now.

I heard my father's police cruiser pull up the drive way, and I ran down the stairs to meet him. When I got to the stairs I tripped over the runner that went down them and I did a couple of flips while rolling down them to the bottom. I landed with a loud thud and I realized that I had hit my head on the landing because I could feel the warmness oozing from my head. My father walking in just as I hit the floor couldn't believe what I had done. He saw the blood and came running over to me, asking if I was okay. I sorta nodded to him and then the blackness came over me. I heard him talking but not to anyone, then a few minutes later I was being picked up on something hard and was going out into the cool air. The next thing I know, I felt cool hands on my head. I slowly opened my eyes to see what was going on, but everything was really blurry.

A calm and controlled voice spoke to me, "Bella, can you hear me? You are in the hospital because you fell down the flight of stairs at your house. Can you open your eyes for me please?"

A feeling of calm washed over me and I opened my eyes, I was still trying to focus on who had been talking to me a moment ago, when I turned my head and saw the most sexiest man alive standing a foot away from me. He had the blondest hair, the most perfect caramel color eyes I had ever seen. I was looking into the eyes of a god, and I knew I was dead.

"Am I dead? where am I? and who are you?" I asked the blonde god standing over me.

He chuckled and replied "Bella, you are not dead by any means nor were you even close my dear. You fell down your stairs at home and you have a severe concussion and a broken leg. Bella, I am your doctor, my name is Dr. Cullen."

Now my god has a name. I am in heaven.

"Dr. Cullen, that name sounds familiar to me, where do I know it from?"

"Bella, I believe that you may know one of my sons, Edward. He mentioned meeting you at school yesterday." He gave me a little smirk.

"Yesterday…..how long have I been out?" I was curious. I remember my dad coming home from work but I didn't remember fixing dinner or going to sleep last night.

"Bella, you have been here since about 9:30 last night. It is now about noon and it is Friday. You have been out since before you arrived at the hospital. I was called in last evening to perform your surgery to repair your broken leg. I gave you a sedative to help you rest afterwards so your body could help heal itself. How are you feeling? Are you in any pain?"

"I am kinda worn out, I feel as though I was hit by a truck, but other than that I feel okay. My leg is sorta throbbing but its manageable."

"Well, you may feel very sore for a few days to a week I would imagine, since you came crashing down the entire flight of stairs, and I can give you something to help with the pain. It will help you rest too. Would you like something now or later?"

"Later, I am not a big fan of needles Dr. Cullen." He was the hottest thing I have seen. If all doctors are this sexy, maybe I shouldn't be afraid to come to the hospital. I think I could get used to looking at him all the time.

"Well, when it gets to be too much, just let me know and I will be glad to help you feel better." Really he wants to help me feel better…mmmm…I can think of one way he could help me feel better. At that thought,I began to feel something warm and moist starting to trickle down onto my thigh. I looked over at him again and he took a deep breath. I was hoping that he couldn't smell it, like I was beginning too. How embarrassing this is going to be if he does. He glanced my way, and a sexy smirk appeared on his glorious face. I could only blush and look away. Damn it, I gave myself away to this sexy hot god of a doctor. He had found me out, now what was I gonna do. I couldn't get up and walk away. I was stuck….S.T.U.C.K.

He leans over and begins to inspect my head wound and he whispers in my ear "Bella, it seems that something I said has give you a reaction I wasn't excepting. Can you explain to me what it was?" oh god, save me now…he even called me on it, what was I gonna say….quick someone, anyone come in here and help me out. Just then short black hair girl about my age came running into my room…thank u god!

"Daddy…..the nurses told me you were in here. I hope I am not interrupting your work." She said happily to him.

"Alice, its good to see you, what can I help you with honey?"

"I was just wondering if you might like to have lunch with me. I brought a picnic and thought we could eat outside since it stopped raining." She looked over at me like she was giving me time to breathe.

"I would love to have lunch with you sweetie, let me just finish up something with Bella and I will meet you outside, okay?"

"Sounds like a plan; I will grab the stuff from your office and meet you out back, at the tables. See you in a few dad." And she turned and ran back out the door.

"Dr. Cullen how many children do you and your wife have?" I asked.

"I am no longer married, and I have 5 children and their aunt lives with us to help me out. She is like a mother to them now. It's great to have her help in raising so many teenagers, they can be a quite a handful at times." He gave me a little smile.

"I can't imagine what it would be like to be a single father to 5 almost grown kids. I bet you have done an amazing job with them. Edward seems so polite and I bet he learned it from you." I could turn on the charm when I wanted to, and come to find out this sexy doc was single….!! Yeah me!!

"Thank you Bella, for that. I hope that I have raised them up right. It's was hard at first after my wife and I divorced about 11 years ago, but when their aunt came to live with us, it has helped out a lot. I have some free time again with nothing to do." He said and gave me a wink.

How can I possibly even think about dating this guy, he is like what…30 years old and I am barely 18 now. I doubt seriously that I even have a chance in hell with this fine Dr. Cullen….but a girl can dream. I blushed yet again when winked at me.

"Bella, let me look once more at your head before I go to lunch. Then I will come back and check on you, alright?" I just nodded at his request, I couldn't make myself talk, I was speechless at the moment.

He leaned over to lift up the bandage just above my right ear and he made the sexiest sound I have ever heard in my life….he just hummed the deepest sound in my ear. It sent a shiver down my spine and made my toes wiggle. I heard a soft chuckle from him at my response and then he asked me again still in a soft whisper…. "what did I say earlier to make you react the way you did?" I was frozen, speechless and then that same damn problem resurfaced in that very instant….he did that humming thing again and I moaned…I fucking moaned out loud…. "what is it Bella? Is something wrong?" I just started squirming in the bed trying to relieve some of the tension I was feeling. "Bella, please tell me, I can't help you unless I know how." Then another moan escaped my lips…god help me.

"Dr…C- Cullen…I am just tired is all. I just need to rest." I pleaded to him.

"Bella, I don't believe you, ….but if you want to rest I can give you something till I can get back to check on you. Would you like something now?" I looked up at him and nodded…then he pulled out a syringe and put in into my IV and then bent back over me and kissed me gently on my lips, then said "sleep Bella, I will come to check on you in a bit, sweet dreams." And he walked out the door.

SO what did you think? Is this better?
