2000s
"Who the hell is she?" Emmett asked bluntly, mirroring Edward's thoughts.
"Ah, well you see…" Carlisle began, unsure of how to properly describe Bella. "I met her before the Volturi, actually she's the one that told me about them…" In a very human like mannerism Carlisle rubbed the back of his neck. "She was… my teacher, in… actually in everything." He chuckled nervously, not wanting to say more.
"And you never mentioned her to us before?" Edward said while looking at his father. He'd never seen Carlisle look so awkward before.
"Well it was only half a year…"
"But she taught you everything how could you not tell us about her?" An image of Bella holding a dismembered bloody finger as she smirked made Edward scrunch up his face in confusion. "She's the one that helped you with your blood lust control? I always assumed you just did that on your own. I guess that's where you got your method of us getting used to the scent of human blood by you holding a vial of it in front of us." Edward was starting to get angry. He thought he'd known everything about Carlisle's past, then she showed up, practically out of nowhere.
"My stories about Bella, aren't all that family friendly. I knew we'd run into her eventually, I guess I just never got around to talking about her." Edward had never seen Carlisle nervous before. "The time I was with her didn't even make up a quarter of a percent of all the time I've been alive." Carlisle said weakly. Edward gave him a look of disbelief before giving up and going outside to try and fix the dent in the car before Rose got back. Emmett just glanced at Carlisle then the stairs before sitting on one of the sofas and turning on the TV.
Carlisle could hear her upstairs, turning another page. He laughed realizing that having her around made him feel like a naïve boy again.
