All conversations happen in the kitchen

Carlisle sat opposite me. He was beautiful just like all the other vampires in the world and beyond. I didn't know how nurses could concentrate on their work while he was around.

He looked like a model with his collar-length blonde hair, the perfect height of 6'2", with a well-toned medium frame, gentle eyes and appeared to be around the age of 23 or 24 years old.

He was every woman's dream.

"So are you going to shoot or what?" I asked eyeing the green hardback notebook he sat in front of him for his notes on my species. He opened the first page to pull the pen from its holder and stopped in his tracks.

"Shoot you? I would never do such a thing." He gasped, raising his eyebrows up at me.

I laughed at his expression, "I didn't mean it like that..." Tears were seeping out of the far corners of my eyes from laughter.

"Than what…" He stuttered looking appalled.

"I mean shoot, like shoot your questions at me not literally shooting me with a gun that would be a very bad idea with a house full of vegie vampires." My laughter was dying down as I explained this to him, why would I want him to shoot me when my life was beginning to feel so right?

"Oh… Sorry, I suppose that I do not keep up with the modern English." He looked sheepish and embarrassed.

I patted his hand while stretching over the smooth wooden table.

"Shall we start the conversation again?"

"Yes… that would be a good idea I think." He mumbled, smiling up at me.

I sat back looking at him, my legs crossed under the table and my right arm placed under my chin holding my head up. I was in the exact same position as I was before.

"So are you going to ask me questions or what?" I emphasised on the word 'ask' to make sure he understood.

We both smirked but kept the conversation going for the sake of his interests.

The questions were simple; about how I grow one year every nine or ten years, what my vampire traits are, my human traits it was basically what I already told the Cullen's the other day but in more detail and so Carlisle could make sure what I said was true.

"Is that it?" I asked nodding towards the many pages full of notes and diagrams in the green notebook.

"Yes I think so…" He cleared his throat after putting the gold fountain pen back in its holder and closing the book firmly shut. I read his emotions and caught that he wanted to ask me something else.

"I thought we cleared this up earlier?" I said firmly staring at him right in the eye, "Your emotions aren't safe with me, what do you want to ask me?"

"You're good." He chuckled wagging his finger at me and leaning back in his chair.

I sat there folding my arms waiting for him to continue.

He sighed and reached into his trouser pocket.

What he pulled out of his pocket made me jump up on my feet in shock and stand back to try and defend myself.

"Woo, what are you doing with that thing? You said you won't do me any harm." I hissed at him my eyes wide.

"I want don't worry," He defended himself holding his hand up in surrender leaving my worst nightmare lying on the table. My eyes stayed on the thing I didn't look at Carlisle as he tried to reassure me.

"I just wanted to get a sample of your chromosomes to find out more on the inside of you, so I could understand more as you have never had a test like this before." I followed the syringe as he picked it up slowly with his white, cold hands and placed it back into his pocket.

"I guess that you still don't like needles huh?" He asked referring to when I first met him.

I shook my head frantically at him, still standing my eyes wide and weary of my surroundings.

"OK, I'll leave it you have already given me a lot to think about and I am very grateful for that, thank you."

"It's the least I can do for what you and everyone else in this house has done for me," I smiled up at him and expressing my feelings to him. "You all have given me a reason to live and you don't know how long I have waited to find happiness and security, I didn't even feel like this with john around and that's saying something. Thanks you so much." I felt awkward after saying that as he just stood there. I ruffled my hair back for something to do and looked down at my feet.

"You don't have to say 'thank you' were family."

I peered up at him looking through my hair that covered my face and smirked.

"Esme said exactly the same thing about an hour ago."

"That's because it's true." He stated after chuckling.

"It's weird ya know, being a part of this… a family I haven't got a clue how to act or what to say. Jasper being all protective earlier was a complete shock to me; it's a first for me and its going to take a while to get used to." I sighed.

"We have all the time in the world."

"I don't know if I do have forever I'm still aging, it might be slow but I'm still getting older."

"It doesn't matter how long you have we all still love you."

"And I love you guys to." I took me a while to respond to Carlisle but I finally did in a whisper.

We both stood there grinning like idiots.

"But you're scared."

I nodded my head and shivered from the cold. "I'm going to go and have a shower; I'm still cold from the rain." I pointed to the kitchen door taking steps back.

"I'll see you later."

"Yep!"
