Carlisle's POV

………………………………………………………………………………………………

I watched him run up the stairs his cheeks red with embarrassment. I felt concern for him. What medicine could he be on? I could also tell he did not like her reminding him about it. He came down stairs while I was thinking and looked to be waiting on us.

"Esme are you ready" I asked.

"Yes dear" she said.

"We will have him back in an hour and a half" I said.

Now watching the lady I was beginning to dislike.

"Oh, don't worry about it just make sure he gets home" Ms. Glanic said.

"Of course" Esme said.

I looked towards him and said "Are you ready."

"Yes sir" he said.

I walked towards the door and held it open for him and Esme. We made it our way to the car and got in. I knew he was nervous, but did not want him to know I noticed. I could also tell Esme was desperate to ask him questions. Of course, within a few seconds she started asking questions.

"What type of food do you like?" she asked.

"Any is fine" He said.

I noticed he was looking at his feet.

"How about Italian then, is that ok" she asked.

"Sure" he said.

I knew a little restaurant near by that would be good to go to .I looked in my mirror to see he now had a bag with him and was looking at Esme with a beautiful smile. The boy was nice looking he had short blond hair, and blue eyes. Esme looked so happy asking him questions and being totally engrossed in the answers. Soon we pulled up to the restaurant and got out. We were seated in a small booth towards the back. He sat across from Esme and I .I noticed there was a football game on and tried to be friendly.

"Do you play any sports" I asked.

"I use to but don't anymore" He said.

He seemed very disappointed at that fact.

"Why not" I asked.

I could not figure out what had upset him.

"I can't" he said.

Just then the waiter showed up and asked for our order. I sat there thinking why can't he? I did not think it was wise to ask because he seemed so upset.

"Why can't you sweetie" she asked softly.

It was quite for a few moments .He was looking at his fork his eyes never moving .He looked so ashamed .Esme looked bothered that she had asked .I deiced to step in.

"You do not have to tell us" I said.

I was trying my best to calm the situation down.

He looked up and looked straight into my eyes.

"I have to sir you took me out" he said quietly.

Now my mind was spinning .Did this have to do with his medicine?

"I have a heart condition" he said.

The boy was ashamed because of a medical issue. He honestly thought we would dislike him because of it. Esme looked as if she wanted to reach out and hug him.

"Oh" she said.

I did not want to make him more nervous but I deiced to ask anyway being the doctor that I am.

"Which one do you have" I asked.

"I have a single ventricle cardiac anomaly" he said strongly.

My jaw almost hit the floor that was one of the most complex heart defects out there. Living with it had to be awful.

"Do you have Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome or Tricuspia Atresia" I asked as calmly as I could trying not to show worry.

He was looking at me amazed. I think it was because I knew what they were. I deiced to end is curiosity.

"I am a doctor" I said.

Now it was his turn for him to be uncomfortable. I could tell the fact I was a doctor bothered him a bit .I let him try to pull himself together.

"I have Tricuspid Atresia" he said softly.

He has been though a lot then. Of course it explains why he can not play sports. He must be on quite a bit of medicine. When you have this there is no Tricuspid valve to carry blood to the right atrium or the right ventricule. I wanted so badly to care for this boy. Esme was on the edge of crying. The waiter walked up and gave us are food.

"That must be hard to deal with" I said looking straight at him.

"It does not bother you……..my condition"he asked I could tell that had just slipped out.

Esme responded first "Why would that bother us sweetie."

He looked dumbfounded like, why would it not bother us?

"Most people at this point say bye and leave" he said.

My heart hurt so badly for him. Esme was upset by his last comment. I could tell if she ever meet those people they would get an earful.

"We would never do that sweetie" Esme said full of conviction.

"Thanks" he said staring at us in amazement.

We were about to leave and Esme was standing up when I remembered his earlier promise.

"Joshua I hate to do this but you forgot your medicine" I said.

"I'm sorry I forget sometimes" he said.

That scared me I would have to keep an eye on him.

"That is ok honey" Esme said.

He reached into the bag he had been carrying and pulled out a box that had the days of the week on the front. He opened the Thursday box and started to take his medicine. Esme was starring at with a very worried look. We then got up to leave and take him back. When we got to the house we got out and walked him in. We said our goodbyes to him and he ran upstairs. Then we started looking for Ms. Glanic. We found her in the kitchen.

"Excuse me but could we talk to you" Esme said.

"Sure" she said.

"Thanks" Esme said.

"How about we go to my office to speak" Ms. Glanic said.

We sat down with and she went behind her desk and sat down.

"We are very interested in Joshua is there any way he could spend the weekend with us"I asked.

"Before you consider him you should know he has a heart condition and requires a lot of care" she said smartly.

"I know" I said starting to get mad.

Her face went to complete surprise. You could tell she was wondering why that did not bother us.

"Well you would need to know how to use his medical equipment" she said thinking we would give in.

"I am a doctor" I said my eyes narrowing.

"Okay how about you pick him up at six tomorrow" she said.

"Joshua come here" she yelled.

He showed up in the door a few minutes later looking completely dead on his feet.

"What took you so long you kept these people waiting" she asked sharply.

"It is not a big deal" Esme said looking ready to chew this lady out.

"Still it was rude what took you so long" she asked.

I was super mad at this point. This lady was a jerk. Joshua was starring at his feet.

"It was a long day and I am tired" he said softly.

"Fine" she said not a bit of concern in her voice.

I was so ready to yell at her but knew I should not in front of Joshua.

"Would you like to spend the weekend with us we would pick you up at six tomorrow" Esme asked.

"I would love to" he said now looking happy.

We were walking towards the car it had taken a lot of restraint to not yell at that lady. Once we were in the car I turned to Esme.

"He is the one" she said her voice full of love.

"I know" I said.

We were both content knowing the search was over. We would have a son in a few weeks.
