Here is the next chapter. I decided not to do Charlie's pov because it wouldn't really fit in. Thanks for the reviews(:
Chapter 4
(Bella's Pov)
I had just gotten to the airport; hopefully Esme had left me a message or something to help me know where to go. I walked up to the window and the clerk looked up at me,
"What can I help you with today?"
"Is there a message for Bella Swan?" I asked.
Hang on and let me check. . . Ah yes. One from a Ms. Esme Cullen?"
"Yes, that's her."
"Ok. She said to get on the first flight to Denali, Alaska and that she would be waiting for you at the gate."
"Thank you." I answered as I purchased the plane ticket and headed to the line. My plane was to leave in just a few minutes.
(Esme's Pov)
I quickly got dressed and went to the phone to call the children and Carlisle.
Alice and Jasper were attending the local high college with Tanya, Kate, and Irina. I decided to call them first.
Ring. . . .Ring. . . .
"Hello?" Came Alice's melancholy voice from the other and. Poor dear, she sounds so sad, but not for long. I thought to myself.
"Hello Alice. How are you?"
"Ok I guess. How are you Esme?"
"I'm wonderful." I answered her happily.
"Is there something you're not telling me?" She asked confused.
"You don't already know?" I asked. Then I realized that maybe Bella hadn't decided to do this in order to surprise Alice too.
"No. . . Should I?"
"No. Just come home tonight as soon as classes are over instead of going to Tanya's."
"Ok. See you tonight Esme."
"Alright, dear. Bye."
I then called Rose, Emmett, and Carlisle. Rosalie and Em said that they would be on the first flight home and should be here in around 4 hours. Carlisle was coming home as soon as his shift was over. Which meant we would all be getting back here around the same time.
After finishing my calls I grabbed my purse and the keys to Edward's Volvo, and left to go pick Bella up.
(Bella's Pov)
I arrived at the airport in Denali just around 10:00 p.m. After going through baggage claim I began searching for Esme. I didn't have to look for long because just as I was about to pull out my cell phone I felt to cold arms wrap around me.
"Esme!" I squealed, reminding myself of Alice.
"Oh, Bella. I've missed you!"
"Me too."
"Well are you ready to go home?" She asked while taking the few bags I had from my hands.
"As I'll ever be." I answered as a wave of uneasiness washed over me, one of the times I wish Jasper was here. Esme just giggled and led me outside toward a silver Volvo.
When we got inside I instantly smiled, it still smelt like Edward. I looked around, and there in the back seat was his jacket that I borrowed so long ago and a box. Esme must have noticed my stare,
"You can touch them. They won't turn to dust." She joked.
I slowly picked them up. I sat the jacket in my lap and then began inspecting the outside of the box. It was beautiful, heavy silver with ornate carvings and on the top were the words, Special Memories.
"I don't think he would mind if you looked inside." Esme whispered softly.
I lifted the lid and inside was an envelope of pictures, the letter I had written him before I went to meet James, and a small jewelry box.
Just as I was about to open the little box I heard the sound of a garage door. Startled I looked up to see that we were pulling up a driveway and I could see a house that reminded me of the one back in Forks. Parked in the garage were Emmett's big Jeep, Rosalie's red BMW, and Carlisle's black Mercedes.
"Were home." Esme whispered.
"Ok. Let's go." I answered as I got out of the car and headed toward the door.
Esme decided that she would go in first and then me. She walked in and I walked up just close enough to the door where I could hear.
"Esme, is everything alright?" Alice.
"Why are you so excited?" Jasper.
"Hey mom! What's the emergency?" Emmett.
"Is everything ok sweetheart?" Carlisle.
"What's that smell?" Rosalie.
Instantly I realized I shouldn't have gotten so close.
"To answer your questions, yes everything is fine, there is no emergency, and that smell is why I'm excited." She joked. "We have a visitor." I took that as my cue to come in.
Before I could get all the way through the door a small figure collided with me. I looked down to see a dry sobbing Alice in my arms.
"Bella!" She kept practically yelling between sobs.
"Shh.. Alice calm down."
"I just missed you so much." She cried as she started to jump up and down like a little school girl.
"Hey don't hog my little sister." I heard a booming voice from behind me say. Before I knew what I was doing, I turned around and ran into Emmett's open arms.
"Miss me much?" he laughed as he hugged me to him.
"Of course."
"Good. You better have."
After hugging Carlisle and surprisingly Jasper and Rosalie we sat down to talk.
"So how have you been?" Carlisle asked conversationally but I could see the burning curiosity in his eyes.
"As good as I can be I guess."
He looked at me quietly.
"Not great." I finally answered.
He just nodded and we had easy conversation for about half an hour when a question kept nagging at me. I just held my tongue.
"Just get it off your chest, Bella." Jasper smiled at me.
"Well. . . Um. . . . When are you going to call Edward? I stuttered while looking at Esme.
"Well… You can wherever you are ready."
"Me?" I squeaked.
"Yes, Bella. It would be best that way." Carlisle answered.
"But what if he hangs up on me before I can talk to him/"
'He won't. Trust me." Alice said while smiling wryly and tapping her head.
I took a deep breath. "Alright, I think I will call him now.'
"Here you go. I already dialed it just press send. Wait and let him speak first." I nodded to Alice and pressed send and waited for him to answer.
"Hello?" I froze. His voice was so much more beautiful than my mind could ever conjure up. But I could plainly hear the anguish in his voice.
I was pulled out of my thoughts by his voice again.
"Hello? Is anyone there?"
"Edward." I whispered.
"Bella."
So there is the next chapter. What do you think? I am thinking about doing in Edward's pov. Review Please(:
