The great thing though is that I've finally decided on my major...psychology! Whoot! Anyway I hope this more then makes up for my lateness. I love you all and enjoy!

Carlisle's POV

I walked up the stairs, slowly. Alice had been overjoyed when I had called home. I knew she had been practically bouncing. I remembered asking about Edward, but she just sighed and said he would get over it. I didn't believe her, but then this was Alice. One should not bet against her.

I was at Bella's doorway. I stood their just watching her. She was beautiful, so very beautiful. She looked at the doorway and smiled softly. I felt my heart melt, and suddenly I could not be by her side fast enough. I almost forgot myself and walked in vampire speed. That would have worked out, oh so well. She patted the bed space beside her and I sat down. She gently took my hand.

"What are we going to do now?" Bella asked. She looked up at me with the most beautiful brown eyes and I moved my hand to her face, stroking her cheek. We stared into each other's eyes for another few seconds, before I bent my head down and lightly brushed my lips with hers. My eyes were wide open and I was staring at Bella waiting for her reaction. Her eye's widened for a moment, but then they turned warm and she closed them. I took that as a sign to continue.

I gently molded my lips to hers. I was very careful; I did not want to scare her with my need. I did not want to hurt her, though I was quite confident that I had full control over my strength. You do not live as long as I and not develop control that is second nature. She moaned and I almost lost it. I almost ignited something that I would not be able to stop. She was sick, and that would be taking advantage. I pulled back and she whimpered. I made sure she settled for our foreheads touching. Bella sighed and said, "Everyone was right."

I laughed a little and said, "I was that transparent?"

"I don't know," Bella replied with a little giggle, "If you are, then I am blind." She smiled sheepishly and said, "Charlie was right. I do see what I only expect to see.

I laughed and kissed her forehead, pulling away a little I asked, "Do you need anything?" Bella gave me a sly look and said, "Another kiss like that one."

I gave her my best stern look and said, "Now Bella, really. Do you want to make me sick?"

A knowing smile crossed Bella's face and I felt a lump in my throat. She cocked her head to one side, and asked, "Can you get sick?"

It was then that I knew Bella had figured it out. I knew she would have, sooner or later. I had preferred later. I stood up straight, but then I deflated a little and asked,

"Let's talk about this some other time, when you feel better."

Bella must have seen something in my eyes, probably the defeat, and nodded. She then held out her arms and said, "Hold me."

I obliged willingly.

Bella's POV

I heard Carlisle's feet on the stairs, and I felt butterflies in my stomach. My feelings were out in the open, as were his. I couldn't believe that he felt the same for me. He was amazing. I loved him so much.

I was still staring up at the ceiling. When I felt his eyes on me. I turned my head and smiled at Carlisle. He was so handsome, so beautiful; it hurt. I wanted him to lie next to me and hold me. I watched as he walked a little too fast across my room. His eyes were so eager and bright. Like a little boy in a toy store, and his smile was so infectious I felt a matching grin spread across my face. I loved him so much. I patted the bed beside me and he sat next to me, and I took his hand.

"What are we going to do now?" I asked looking at him. I wanted him to tell me, because honestly I did not know. A hundred and one things were running through my mind and all of them were chasing another. I could think of nothing. There were just too many thoughts. Carlisle then began to stroke my cheek. He was so gentle and the look he was giving me was one of awe. His finger was so cold, and my cheek must have been so warm. We stared into each other's eyes for another few second, before he bent his head and lightly brushed his lips with mine. I felt heady and woozy and I felt my eyes widen in surprise. Then I smiled once I gained my bearings and closed my eyes waiting for what I knew what was to come. He gently molded his lips to mine and I felt wonderful and giddy. This was my first kiss and it was so sweet. I knew that this was only the beginning to something wonderful and good. Only a good man could possibly kiss like this, only my man.

I let him guide this first kiss. I did not feel well enough to deepen it further. There was time enough in the future for making out. Right now I just wanted him to kiss me. To show me how much he loves me. I hoped I was conveying that as well. I think I was. I was in need of oxygen when he finally pulled back. I whimpered. I knew I needed the air, but I never wanted to stop touching him. He must have sensed this because he made sure our foreheads were touch. I sighed and said, "Everyone was right."

He chuckled and said, "I was that transparent?" I loved it when he laughed, even if it was a chuckle. It remained me of chimes.

"I don't know," I replied with a little giggle, "If you are, then I am blind." And it was true. I really was blind compared to what others. Charlie was right; I do see what I only expect to see.

He laughed and kissed my forehead. I was in heaven. He pulled away a little and said, "Do you need anything?"

As much as I loved his concern the one thing he really should not have done was pull his lips away, but I was good and didn't say anything. Instead I gave him a sly look and said, "Another kiss like that one."

Carlisle gave his stern look and said, "Now Bella, really. Do you want to make me sick?"

It was at that moment that I realized he did not know that I knew his secret. I should make that known right at that moment. It really didn't bother me. I knew a long time ago I would never fall in love with a normal man. Normal just wasn't me. Though to be honest I did not think it would be a vampire doctor.

I cocked my head to one side and asked, "Can you get sick?"

I saw the realization dawn across his face because he seemed to deflate a little and said, "Let's talk about this in some other time, when you feel better."

I made a mental note of talking about it tomorrow. He needed to know that I didn't care about that. That I loved him no matter what he was or was not. He was my everything, and there really was no living without him.

I nodded and held out my arms to Carlisle. This was the only way I knew to let him know that he was still everything I wanted, "Hold me."

He obliged, and despite his rock hard chest and his artic temperature, I had never slept so soundly.

Carlisle's POV

I watched her as she slept, and worried. Now that I knew she knew my secret, would she still want me? When she sat back and logically thought about it, what would her choice be? I sighed and pushed her hair out of her face and I could not help but feel small and insignificant in the whole grand scheme of things. Would she really want me? I just did not know, and it was driving me crazy. I was just about to go into a boredom-induced haze when I felt Bella stir. She slowly opened up her eyes. I felt her confusion and her quickened heartbeat, but then she smiled and I knew she remembered. My doubts left me like birds from their nests.

"Good morning my love," I whispered so as not to wake the others. Jacob and Billy had stayed the night to make sure that Bella would be okay. Charlie and I had made a bed for Billy on the couch. Billy and seemed thoughtful the entire time. Maybe he was beginning to see the error of the pack's line of thinking, maybe. I was not exactly hopeful.

"Morning handsome," Bella replied kissing the tip of my nose. Before I could respond she placed her lips on my mouth. I closed my eyes and kissed her back, with a little more feeling behind it then was prudent. Bella moaned and squeezed me tighter, but I did not deepen it. It was a wonderful good-morning kiss. Pulling back she said, "You sure can kiss Dr. Cullen."

I felt my mind stray to Bella in a nurse's outfit again and I had to firmly jolt my brain back on track. I had to remember to push for that outfit on Halloween.

"Thank you doll," I replied and she smiled her eyes bright and she said, "I like that."

"Like what?" I asked with a little smile of my own.

"Doll," Bella replied, "I like it when you call me doll. With your British accent you sound like a twenty's gangsters or something."

"Gee… thanks Bella," I replied and she giggled.

"No I really like it," Bella insisted. Blushing she said, "It's hot."

Grinning I replied, "I'll remember that…doll."

Bella grinning and hid her face in my chest. I chuckled and laid my head on top of hers. Finally she said, "I should get up and take a shower."

"Do you feel well enough?" I asked.

"Sure," Bella replied pulling away reluctantly. Giving me a lopsided grin she said, "I'll be out in a minute."

"I'm going to go downstairs," I replied, but she caught my hand and said, "I really want to talk to you about…. well you know what, so you should stay here."

I nodded and watched her gather her things. She kissed me and then went into the bathroom. She did look better, and I felt something inside me relax. I leaned back and closed my eyes. She wanted to talk…this could be bad.

Bella's POV

My eyes fluttered open and the first thing I was aware of was that I was pressed against a rock. The next thing I noticed was the cold. I was beginning to worry when I looked up and my eyes locked with the most intense blue I had ever seen. I smiled. I watched as he gave me a little grin in replay and said, "Good morning my love,"

I shivered when he called me his love. It felt so right, yet so surreal. I mean it was only a few days ago that Charlie and I fought about Carlisle. Things sure do happen fast.

"Morning handsome," I replied kissing the tip of his nose. I loved touched him. It was beginning to become a little unnerving how much I wanted to touch him. It didn't matter where, just as long as I felt his hard skin against mine. I then suddenly, on a whim, placed my lips on his and hoped he kissed me back. He did. I closed my eyes when I felt him kiss me back, and I sighed. I loved how he kissed me. Like he wanted to devour me, yet at the same time he was unusually gentle. I moaned and squeezed him tighter, but Carlisle did not deepen it, and neither did I. I was quite content with the kiss on the level it was. All in all it was one heck of a way to wake up. Pulling back I said, "You sure can kiss Dr. Cullen.

"Thank you doll," Carlisle replied and I gave Carlisle a shocked smile. Did he just call me doll? I smiled and said, "I like that."

"Like what?" He asked with a little smile of his own.

"Doll," I replied, "I like it when you call me doll. With your British accent you sound like a twenty's gangsters or something."

"Gee… thanks Bella," He replied and I giggled. I loved it when he teased me. It wasn't even like we were flirting, just simply together having fun.

"No I really like it," I insisted. I really wanted him to keep calling me that. It did something for me. Blushing I said, "It's hot."

He grinned and replied, "I'll remember that…doll."

I grinned and hid my face in Carlisle's chest. He chuckled and laid his head on top of mine. Finally I said, "I should get up and take a shower."

"Do you feel well enough?" Carlisle asked.

"Sure," I replied pulling away reluctantly. Giving him what I hoped was a cute grin I said, "I'll be out in a minute."

"I'm going to go downstairs," he replied, but I caught his hand and said, "I really want to talk to you about…. well you know what, so you should stay here."

Carlisle nodded and I knew he was nervous about it. Hell I was nervous and I didn't even care about wither or not he was a vampire. I loved him no matter what. I felt his eyes on me as I gathered my bath things and I couldn't help but shiver a little. Now that we were together, it was hard not to have even more dirty thoughts of Carlisle, especially when we shared a bed. I smiled and went into the bathroom.

Carlisle's POV

I waited for her, nervous as a schoolboy. I could still feel her body next to mine and I savored that feeling. She was so warm, and for a little while I was warm too. I am not going to lie to anyone. There were times I wished I was human. I loved them so much, but my life has been good. I have been able to help people over the years, and that's all I ever wanted.

I heard the water run and my thoughts turned to Bella. I heard her singing softly to herself and smiled. Her voice was not half bad. I smiled and closed my eyes. The smell of rain wrapped itself around me and I sighed. I really loved her scent and as soon as she came back from the shower I was going to wrap my arms around her and breath in her scent. It would be even better after a shower. She would smell fresh and new, like a spring shower. I could already smell it coming from the bathroom. The water suddenly turned off and I heard her step out of the shower. Suddenly my mind changed. I could imagine her dripping wet, completely naked, and pink from the scrubbing. I shivered and tried to shake away the thoughts, but they stayed there, making me hard. I closed my eyes and forcefully thought of anything else. Thankfully I had myself under control by the time Bella walked back into the room.

I smiled and motioned for her to come to him. She plopped down on the bed and I pulled her close. I buried my nose in her hair and breathing in. Her scent was even more overpowering and I was barley able to contain himself. Groaning I titled her head up and kissed her passionately. Pulling back I nuzzled our noses together and said, "You smell so good."

Bella was breathing hard, and she looked dazed. Finally she said, " Wow."

"Yeah wow," I breathed and nipped her nose. Bella giggled. I finally pulled back and sighed. Then I took Bella's hand and rubbed mine thumb over the back of her hand. I tugged her closer and she snuggled against me and sighed in contentment. We lay like that for a while. Finally Bella asked, "So are you going to explain the whole vampire thing?"

I sighed and asked, "What do you want to know?" I seemed to be saying that a lot lately.

She looked into my eyes and said, "Everything."

I smiled sadly and said, "Everything huh?"

"Yep," Bella replied sitting cross-legged on my bed, "Leave nothing out."

I nodded and mimicked her actions. I sat there for a moment making sure that none of the others were nowhere near us. They were not. I took a breath that I did not need and I said, "I was born in the sixteenth century. My father was a pastor, and he was obsessed with the occult. He believed that there were evil sprits that needed to be stopped before the coming of Christ. He was a fanatic, and I had no other choice but to follow in his footsteps. Yet I was not like him. I believed that those people could be helped, saved even. I did not wish to kill." I gave Bella a little lopsided grin and said, "I have always been something of a pacifist." She smiled softly and squeezed my hand.

"When I was twenty I come back from seminary school and father began to teach me how to kill the evil spirits that plague this world. I did not like it, and he would beat me roundly when I refused to torture a witch into confession. A year later he died and I took over the church. It was a small country parish and it was a good town. I slowly began to gain the trust of the town. Those suspected of witchcraft were no long tortured. I talked with them. I was always able to tell if a person was lying. I believe it is called profiling now. I was quite good at it, and there was only one person I believed truly guilty of harm. He was actually a friend of my fathers, and he truly was a witch."

"What did you do?" Bella asked thoroughly engrossed in my tale. I really could not believe her. She was listening and did not seem disturbed in the least. That made me fell a little better.

"I had the town decided," I replied with a heavy sigh. To this day I hated what we had to do, "They wanted him to burn. Which is just what he deserved. He had falsely accused so many people." I shivered, "He screamed as he burnt. I felt so dirty. A few days after the execution the town's folk and I stumbled into a nest of vampires, and I was bitten. I knew what I was becoming even as I crawled into a trash bin and let it happen. There was nothing I could do. A day later I crawled out of the trash bin, and knew that I would never be the same. I walked awhile. I felt so weird, and then I smelled something that was heaven. I followed the smell, and found that a man was bleeding. He was holding his arm and he said, "Go get me help."

I slammed him against the wall and grabbed his arm. I pulled the arm to my face and smelled. It was good, and I was hungry. That thought made me appalled. I let him go and ran. I was out of London and in the woods before I even knew what I was doing. I stayed out in the woods for a very long time. I did everything humanly possible to try and kill myself, but nothing worked. I starved myself; until one day I became so hungry that I caught and killed a passing deer. It was like heaven. I fed until I was full. It took four and I realized that I did not have to eat humans. I slowly began going back into towns. I made myself get used to humans. I would not feed on them, and I have not. I am proud and thankful to say. I made myself to Italy and found a coven of vampires, the Volutari. They are the elite of the vampire world, and they fed upon people. They are brutal and powerful and no one says anything. For their silence they protect the town. I learned a lot there, and I stayed there, but not with them. I took an apartment in the city and I began to study medicine. After the first mass murder I could not stay with them. I tried to talk them out of eating others, but Aero, their leader would only laugh me off. The others were actually a little violent. They saw me as weak, and I learned fast to defend myself.

Once I completed my study program I left. I could not stay in the town any longer. I could not stop them, and truly if the town's people could live with it then it was their own business. Still… it bothers me that they still do this. I should have done something."

I was quite for a time. Bella just sat there, until finally she said, "If they were an entire coven, then you could have done nothing Carlisle. It was the right thing for you to leave babe."

I nodded and smiled. Babe? I kind of like that.

"Anyway… I spent years playing the night doctor. I could not go out in the daytime. It was all too obvious what I was then, and I could not spend as much time as I wanted in the hospitals. Vampires do not sleep. We do not need to, even though that does get old after a while. I spent years like this, and I slowly became lonely. The humans I made attachments to either died or I had to leave before people noticed that I did not age. It was a lonely life, but then at the turn of the century the yellow fever hit. So many people died. There was this woman and she begged me to save her son. He was dying; no one was around, so I changed him. I was lonely and he was dying. It was so hard to resist drinking his blood, but I did. Sometimes I think that I should not have done so, but others I am glad that he is here with me." I smiled at her and said, "It was Edward I changed."

"Edward?" Bella said with her eyes wide.

"Yes," I replied, "Edward and I have been together so long he feels like my brother, but I digress. We lived many years and then I found Rosalie dying on the side of the street and I turned her. Then I turned Esme. Rosalie found Emmett dying in the woods and she carried him fifty miles to have me turn him. She thought she would kill him. By the time I turned Emmett I no longer wanted human blood and it was easy to resist. Jasper and Alice joined us already turned. Soon we became one big family."

Bella was silent for a while. She just sat there and I became worried. Then she got on her knees, grabbed my face, and kissed me like she was dying. Not thinking I pulled her close and she pressed herself against me. She attacked my mouth, almost like she was trying to prove something to me, and I let her. She was driving me wild and I trailed my hands up Bella's arm and then down to her waist. I let my hands stay there, but then they began to wonder to her back and then to her behind. She moaned when I squeezed her behind. Finally she pulled away and her breathing was ragged. Looking at me she said, "My poor Carlisle" and she stroked my check. I smiled at her and kissed her nose. I whispered, "I would not change a thing."

"Really?" She seemed surprised.

"If I did then I would not be here with you," I whispered, "And I love you too much to want to change.
A tear streaked down Bella's cheek and she whispered, "I love you too babe."

Suddenly we heard someone clear their throat and Bella's face turned ashen. I closed my eyes and slowly turned around. There stood a woman and a man that were unfamiliar to me, though Bella seemed to know them. Charlie came up behind them and said, "I tried to stop her Bella, but you know how she is when she has something on her mind."

"Yes," Bella replied still with her arms around me. Pulling away she said, "Carlisle this is my mother Renee and her husband Phil. Mom, Phil, this is my boyfriend Dr. Carlisle Cullen."

Renee and Phil looked at each other. Finally Renee said, "Doctor?"

I smiled worriedly. This was not going to be good.

Bella's POV

I ran my fingers through my hair and sighed. Carlisle was in the other room, and a part of me wanted him right behind me in the shower. I wanted him to run his fingers through my hair and to hold me tight against his naked body. I shook my head and climbed out of the shower. It was way too early to go there. I made sure that everything was in place before I walked into my room. Carlisle smiled at me and motioned for me to come to him. I plopped down on the bed and he pulled me down next to him. He wrapped his cold arms around me and I sighed. He buried his nose in my hair and breathed in. He groaned and he tilted my head up and kissed me passionately. I actually thought he was going to devour me. Finally he pulled back and nuzzled our noses together and said, "You smell so good."

I was breathing hard, and I probably looked like an idiot. Finally I said, "Wow."

"Yeah wow," He breathed and nipped my nose. I giggled. Carlisle finally pulled back and sighed. Then he took my hand and rubbed his thumb over the back of my hand. He tugged me closer and I snuggled against him and sighed in contentment. We lay like that for a while. Finally I asked, "So are you going to explain the whole vampire thing?"

He sighed and asked, "What do you want to know?"

I looked into his eyes and said, "Everything."

Carlisle smiled sadly and said, "Everything huh?"

"Yep," I replied sitting cross-legged on my bed, "Leave nothing out."

He nodded and mimicked my actions. He sat there for a moment and then launched into his story, and what a story. He had really lived such an exciting and sad life. I felt so sorry for my Carlisle, yet charmed by the simplicity of his narrative. He did not exaggerate his story or try to impress me. Carlisle just told me his thoughts and feelings from his point of view. In that moment the knowledge that I had found a good one hit me like a ton of bricks, and I was never letting this one go. Never. Period. The End.

I interrupted him a few times. I shouldn't of, but the story was fascinating and I loved him for telling me. I loved all of this man. Right down to the whole sucking of animal blood. I must say having him not eat a human being was a plus on an epic scale. I could have over looked it, but still… it was nice to know that my man was a strong one.

There were a few times I had to reassure him that he had done the right thing, the only thing, and he seemed to feel better once I sat fears at ease. He must have thought I would judge him, but I never would. Not on his past.

It surprised me that Carlisle could turn his entire family without drinking one single drop of blood, but he could and I was in awe of him. If there was one thing everyone knew about a vampire, it was that the lust for blood was stronger then a starving man wanting food. I was glad that he had helped his family. It really showed how he cared about people. Though now I see why Esme and Carlisle thought they were in love.

Finally his story came to an end and I was silent for a while. I just didn't know what to say or do. Now that the story was finished it was an impressive story and it made me want to hold him and shield him from the world. Looking at him I got on my knees, grabbed his face, and kissed him like I was dying. I had to let him know how I felt about him, and truthfully I had never wanted him more then at that moment. He really was a good guy, and I was more then happy he was mine. He pulled me close and I pressed myself against him. I had to feel him next to me. I had to feel his cold body against my warm one. It was necessary to survive. I attacked his mouth. I knew I was being a little violent, but I had to let him know how I felt. His hands trailed up my arm and down to my waist. I loved his hands there and sighed in contentment, but he didn't stop there. I must have been exciting him because his hands began to wonder up my back and then down on my behind. I moaned and he squeezed. I couldn't take it anymore. I had to pull away. My breathing was ragged but I was happy. I was probably even flushed. Smiling at Carlisle I said, "My poor Carlisle," and stroked his cheek. He smiled at me and kissed my nose. He whispered, "I would not change a thing."

"Really?" I asked a little surprised.

"If I did then I would not be here with you," He whispered and I felt tears sting my eyes, "And I love you too much to want to change.
A tear streaked down my cheek and I whispered, "I love you too babe."

I happened to look up as someone cleared their throat and I knew that my face turned white. Carlisle gave me a worried look but I didn't really see it. I was too busy staring at the two people behind me. Suddenly Charlie burst in and said, "I tried to stop her Bella, but you know how she is when she has something on her mind."

"Yes," I replied with Carlisle's arms still around me. Pulling away I said, "Carlisle this is my mother Renee and her husband Phil. Mom, Phil, this is my boyfriend Dr. Carlisle Cullen."

Renee and Phil looked at each other. Finally Renee said, "Doctor?"

I smiled worriedly. This was not going to be good.

So I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will updated as soon as I can. So HIT THE PRETTY BUTTON!
