Older Grandpa

Chapter Nineteen

Esme's P.O.V.

Its day four, and I am getting pretty sick and tired of putting on enough clothing to give a person heat stroke.

"Did Seth come back in last night?" Leah asked sticking a fork in the stack of pancakes I put on her plate.

"Yes, it was pretty late, do you think I should wake him up so he can eat?" I flipped another pancake into the air.

"I'll do it," Leah got up and pounded on Seth's door, "SETH GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE AND EAT," she yelled through his closed door, and making my ears ring. Leah could be REALLY loud when she wanted to be.

Seth looked like a kid on christmas when he noticed the pancakes on the table, sitting down and eating three servings.

"What are we doing today?" I asked taking there dishes and placing them in the soapy water.

"Jake and I are going to visit Nessie," Seth explained cooley, and I felt it hit me hard. My heart ached to see any of them.

"I see," I looked away so they couldn't see the hurt in my face.

"Yeah we were planning on bringing Bella back so Jake and her could ride the bikes. Oh and then we were all going to come back here for dinner," my face lit up at the thought of seeing Bella, I mean it wasn't even close to how happy I would be if it was Carlisle but, it still made me happy.

"What about you Leah?" I asked trying to hide my smile.

"I was planning on sleeping, I have to 'work' tonight. Would you mind waking me so I can eat though?" Leah was starting to not be a total 'female dog'.

"Sure I could do that. I was going to run up to the store is there anything you guys need?" I thought that it would be nice to stock the fridge for Sue.

"Yeah I need some nose plugs if you don't mind," Leah barked back.

"Don't forget that there is only one of me and a lot of you," I hissed back.

"Whatever," Leah mumbled as she got up and trudged to her room.

"I'll be in town all day. Bring any one you would like back, I can cook for over twenty," I hoped that he would listen and bring back everyone.

"Sure thing Esme," Seth waved me off running out the door and meeting Jacob in front of the house. Leaving me alone.

I cleaned the dishes and put them away before heading out.

I decided to go to the store in town, and met one of the nurses that worked at the same hospital as Carlisle.

"Hi, Esme," she greeted me coldly.

"Hi!" I said putting on a fake smile.

"Is there something wrong with Carlisle? He hasn't seemed like himself lately," she didn't know?

"Uhm, yeah. Carlisle and I aren't exactly living together at the moment," I could see her coming on to him now, trying to comfort him.

"Oh that's terrible, did you get in a fight," her words were sympathetic but I had a feeling that she was ecstatic on the inside.

"I'd rather not talk about it," the fact that she believed me was amazing.

"I totally understand, but if I don't go now I will be late for work," she rushed to the till cutting in front of an older lady.

I got all the groceries and an hour and a half later was back on the reservation. Seth still wasn't home and Leah was sleeping, so I unpacked the groceries alone.

"It is so lonely without Renesmee," I said to myself so the camera's could hear.

Just as I said that Seth, Jacob, and Bella came through the doors laughing.

"Speak of the devil," I laughed.

"Seth your home!" I greeted him with a hug.

He retreated holding his nose closed, "you stink!" he laughed.

"Speak for yourself! It smells here!" Bella said pushing him.

"Bella!" I hugged her and didn't want to let go.

"Hey Esme it's good to see you!" she said once I had taken my arms away.

"Anyway, we came to tell you that we are going to go ride bikes," Seth interrupted.

"I'm sure Edward is ecstatic with that!" I laughed.

"He doesn't know," Bella whispered.

"Well be careful," I smiled knowing that even if she did fall off there was no chance she would get hurt.

They left and a couple of the camera men followed, just like one had followed me to the store.

"I miss them," I said to the camera once they had all left.

I made lunch and woke Leah to eat it, did the same for Dinner. Later Seth and Jacob came back, with Renesmee.

"I told him not too," was the first thing Seth said as she ran into my arms.

"How do you expect me to say no to that face?" Jacob fought back.

"I missed you!" Renesmee cried.

"I missed you too sweety," I laughed, trying to pull her arms from around my neck without hurting her.

Before I knew it they had to leave, and I was alone again in the middle of the night, waiting for morning to come. I pulled out my phone from my pocket and found a message from Carlisle.

I miss you Esme, more than you could ever imagine. The nurses have seemed to get worse since the swap, one even asked if I needed some comforting today. I love you see you soon. -Carlisle

I softly laughed and clicked reply.

I miss you too Carlisle. Did you know that Bella and Renesmee came by today? Seeing them is the only thing pulling me through, that and our communication, even if I can't hear your voice. As for the nurses I have no idea why they would think you needed comforting ;) I love you too. -Esme

I hit send and smiled closing my eyes. 'Ten more days' I thought, before relaxing and waiting for morning again.

Thank you for reading and if you have any ideas for truth or dare please tell me because it will be coming in future chapters
