Dearest Bella

Carlisle and Esme sat in the study at their home in Alaska. It has been nearly a month since they left Forks. Esme came up with the idea, and Carlisle agreed to join her. They sat on the two over stuffed chairs facing each other. "Why don't you start off, Es," Carlisle told her.

"Carlisle what do I tell her. There is so much that I want to say to her, she is like our daughter."

Carlisle reached over and rested his palm on her thigh. "Then I will begin." He took the paper and pen from Esme and began scrawling in antique lettering.

Dearest Bella,

First and foremost, we miss you. You have become to be part of our family and our family is no longer whole. It is hard for Edward, though he will deny it with every excuse in the book."

A light chuckle escaped Carlisle lips after writing that. Carlisle remembered what excuse Edward gave to Bella... "It's been 10 years and people are beginning to notice that Carlisle is not aging. Carlisle continued to write:

Even Rosalie misses you. She doesn't have the opportunity to remark to Edward how dangerous it is for him to be with you. Emmett is still as acceptance as always. Jasper still feels remorse for your birthday. He may not say it to us, but we've seen Alice console him in the middle of the living room. It finally began to snow and stick to the ground. I know how you do not like anything cold and wet... well, at least not wet."

Again Carlisle let out a chuckle to his own pun.

Right now, all three boys are out in the backyard playing football in the snow. It's nearing seven in the evening and the sun had long set. It was a clear day today, the sun shining bright in the sky, so they missed school."

Carlisle handed the paper and pen to Esme, allowing her to read what he wrote and add on to it.

Esme smiled at how gentle Carlisle sounded in it. Then she added her own:

As the holidays approach I find this family is missing your presence. You lit up our lives and you brought a new spirit to our household. Alice really misses you. She misses her Bella Barbie time.

Esme laughed here. She continued to write

It was the hardest thing for us to leave you like we did.

Esme closed her eyes and took some deep breaths in and gathered her thoughts as she handed the paper back to Carlisle.

Carlisle read over what Esme had written, in a different hand style than his own. He saved his penmanship for letters, but when he was writing prescriptions, it was sloppier. Bella would be able to tell it was him and Esme writing.

"Rosalie and Alice are shopping. I hope they do not buy the entire store. Aside from the events of current, we are doing alright. Though, I do stress that we do miss you terribly."

Sincerely,

Carlisle Cullen.

He handed the paper and pen back to his wife.

Love you sweet Bella keep your chin up.

Esme Cullen.

The End
