IPOV

Edward was at work so I was stuck at home, on my own, well kind of. I still had Esme and Jasper. But anyway, what was I meant to do for hours until my wonderful husband came back home?

"HOME!" I called out to the house. I unclipped pip's lead from the collar and he ran off into the living room. The house was quiet, too quiet. It sort of scared me but at least I had Pip to protect me. Oh my god! I just said that a puppy can keep me safe from a house. I think I'm sick.

"Izzy?" I knew that voice from anywhere.

"Hey, Carlisle" just then something was off, "Why aren't you at work?" I asked confused. He smiled sadly and sat down in the arm chair.

"I retired" he said simply.

"WHAT! No! you can't retire! Your too good!" I was shocked to say the least. He laughed at my expression and told me to calm down.

Sitting down on the couch next to Pip, I took some deep breathes and asked again,

"Why?"

He smiled and replied to my pleading question.

"Because I'm getting older and Edward is taking my place" I instantly calmed down a lot more.

"Oh" he laughed again and then changed the subject.

"So where is Edward anyway?" he asked confused.

"At work"

I frowned and slouched into the couch cushions.

"Oh, Izzy, he will be back soon, don't worry" he leaned over and grabbed my hand, rubbing reassuring circles into my palm with his thumb.

"Yeah I know but I still miss him"

"I know, he misses you too" I sighed and relaxed a bit.

"Do you want a drink?" Carlisle asked me.

"Yes please" I told him.

"What sort?"

"Tea please"

"Okay"

We walked into the kitchen and I sat at the breakfast table as he boiled the kettle.

"So I hear you and Edward are going to try for a baby?" he asked as he got some cups out of the cupboard.

"Yeah" I blushed and his my face in my jumper.

"Well, good luck, you will make great parents" once again I felt the het rising to my face.

I was pretty sure my face was as read as a tomato by now. Just then the kettle boiled. I walked over to the fridge and pulled the milk and cream out.

"Thank you" Carlisle said as I gave him the things.

He poured the water into the cups and took the teabag out of mine and stirred his coffee. After he added milk to mine and cream to his.

"There you go Izzy" he smiled at me and gave me the drink. We move over to the table again and slowly drank our drinks while telling each other about the past.

I was in the middle of telling him what happened at school the day we met when the front door opened and closed. By now our drinks were empty and it was about seven at night.

The person who came through the door sighed and then walked into the kitchen with us.

It was Edward.

"Hey baby, how are you?" I looked at his face and frowned. His eyes were red and had dark circles under them.

He grumbled something under his breath and took the coffee Carlisle gave him.

"Tired?" I asked him. He nodded and sat next to me. I wrapped my arm around his shoulders and pulled him close.

"Do you want to go to bed?" I asked gently into his ear. He nodded again and made his way upstairs.

"Look after him Izzy" Carlisle told me.

"Okay, thank you for spending time with me today Carlisle, I appreciate it" he nodded his head and then sat down with a newspaper.

I made my way upstairs and found Edward waiting outside our bedroom door, leaning against it.

"Come on baby, let's get you to bed" I told him. Grabbing his hand and dragging him into the room. I closed the door and stripped his clothes of then put his blue and black plaid pyjamas on for him. I changed into my silk ones and climbed into bed, dragging him with me.

He sighed as I pulled the covers up to his chin and tucked him in. I wrapped my arms around his waist as he leant his head on the chest. I stroked his hair with one hand and waited for him to fall asleep. Not long after he fell asleep I joined him.

The next morning I woke up to an empty bed. Wondering where Edward went, I stumbled out of bed and made my way to the bathroom. I done my business, slipped on my bathrobe and walked into the hall way. It was empty. I got more and more confused as I mad my way downstairs, the only people down there was Jasper and Esme. I walked over to them. But Jasper already spotted me and shouted.

"IZZY!" I kissed his head and said hello back.

"Where's your brother?" I asked him. He looked thoughtful for a minute before replying to me,

"He went to the store to buy some food" I nodded and started talking to Esme.

After about an hour I got a text message from Edward. It read:

Izzy x

You are probably wondering where I am?

Well hopefully Jasper told you, if not I am at the store.

I will be back in about 20 minutes.

I love you baby. X

See you soon.

-Edward. X

Aww! That's sweet. At least I know where he is now. And true to his word he arrived just over 20 minutes later.

I helped him with the bags and kissed his cheek.

"Why did you go to the store?" I asked him.

"My Mum told me to go" I noticed he looked a lot more awake now than last night.

"How are you feeling now?" I asked again.

"Much better, I have never been so tired in my life since last night" I laughed and we went to the lounge to watch a DVD.

The rest of the day was spent in front of the T.V. watching old movies and eating junk food.

What a way to end the week.
