Bella
As we stepped off the plane and walked through arrivals we could see everybody was there to greet us. Esme had her arm around Carlisle's waist as has Rosalie around Emmett's waist. Jasper however was restraining Alice from launching herself at us with a grin on his weary face. Alice fired questions at us the entire time it took to walk to the cars where she had to leave us alone as we were travelling with Edward's parents.
Home sweet home was all that I thought when we unlocked the cottage door before I collapsed on the sofa with my head in Edward's lap. He stroked my hair softly and hummed my favourite song quietly and with minutes I was fast asleep.
When I woke up later I was in my bedroom alone. Edward must have gone out but before I went to look for him I found the note that he had left on his pillow.
'Bella,
I've just gone to see my parents. I am sure they will want to catch up with you so come along if you wake up. I didn't want to wake you earlier as you looked so peaceful.
I love you,
Edward.
Xxx'
I pulled on some new clothes that weren't crumpled and headed for the door.
Edward
I was funny how tired Bella was getting. I mean, I was tired but not at the point of exhaustion. Perhaps I should talk to Carlisle about it, after all he is a fully trained doctor and I am only in my first year of work.
I put Bella to bed and left a note in case she woke up before heading down the path to my parents' house. It was only six o'clock. My dad opened the door and I asked immediately if I could have a word with him alone and as usual he agreed. My parents are very understanding.
'Dad, my question is really weird. Bella has been so tired recently, literally getting back to the hotel or home and sleeping. I was wondering if you have any idea why.' My words came out in one huge rush. But, after processing my word Carlisle replied.
'I can't tell you right now but if you bring her round here tomorrow I can talk to her. I don't have to work so any time would be good.'
'Thanks Dad.'
He asked me about the holiday and then told me to go and see Esme who was desperate to speak to me about our honeymoon. Finally Esme let me go back and check on Bella, she didn't seem very concerned about her when I told her my worries but I let it pass, perhaps she wasn't listening properly.
Half way along the snaking path I met Bella looking beautiful as always in a green t-shirt and white flowing skirt. I swept her into my arms as she giggled. My lips found hers and did not break their hold until we reached ou house.
