Carlisle P.O.V
- Dear god, Esme you're awake. I said as I kiss her forehead and squeeze her hand gently.
She opened her eyes slowly. Blinking a few times.
- Wha... Where...
- shhh. It's ok. Don't talk love. You're in the hospital. You got into an accident. I said sadly.
She looked at me turned her head to look around the room.
- Oh... Was all she said.
I sigh . As much as I wanted to take her in my arms and everything. I had to make sure she was fine first.
I had to ask her questions, I put on my doctor face and tired my best to hide my worry in my voice.
which I failed.
- How are you feeling?
She took a moment before answering.
- Sore. She said in a small voice.
- Esme , do you remember what happen?
She stayed silent for a couple of seconds before talking.
- My baby... my son.
I have to admit that I wasn't expecting that.
- It been 1 year today.. since..
I took her hand , making her know what I understand.
- I went to see him. At his grave.
- Esme. You should have told me, I would have come with you.
She hesisted , before looking me in the eys. Her face was unreadable.
- I couldn't . I didn't want to bother you...
- Esme. You know I would do anything for you.. I ..
I stopped myself there. Did she heard what I said?
I could feel myself blush hard and looked away.
- Carlisle I... You already done so much for me, but I needed to do this alone , please don't be mad.
I smiled softly at her
- My dearest Esme, I could never be mad at you. I understand.. I just..
I took a deep breath, unsure if I should say it or not.
- Nevermind, I just hate to see you in pain.
She smiled sadly at me.
- I am going to be ok Carlisle. Thank you for saving me. Helping me.
- Esme, I didn't.. I tried but I ..
I was cut off by her finger on my lips.
- Shh. I know you did everything you could . That's who you are. You saved me Carlisle. From everything. I was broken and you helped me and picked up the pieces. You'll forever be my hero Carlisle.
I stood there speechless. Did she really saw me as her hero ? Althrought, i'm glad said that because that means I didn't completely broke my promise. I helped her.
- God I love you. The words came out of my mouth before I could even understand what was happening.
Her eyes wided. I winced. Ready for the rejection.
- I.. Carlisle..
- I'm so sorry... I didn't .. Please, if you're going to reject me , do it quick. I'm not expecting you to say it back.
- Reject you? Carlisle.. I .. I love you too. So much.
My eyes snap back up at her eyes. She loved me back. My smile got into a big grin before I slowly sat beside her careful not too hurt her and place my hands under her chin and kissed her. It felt so right, so much better than I ever imagined.
God I love this woman. She is perfect and yet, she loves me. She actually loves me. I smiled through the kiss pulling her closer to me if that was possible.
I pulled back eventually and looked at her in the eyes pulling our forehead together.
- If you knew how long i've waited to do this. I whispered.
- God Esme you just made me the happiest man on earth. I promise you , I will never ever never in anyway hurt you Esme.
She open her mouth to reply but I shush her.
My face turned more serious.
- I'm serious. I won't let anyone hurt you. Ever. I love you so much Esme. More than my own life. I know it's crazy but I do. I've never been that close to anyone in my life,or felt like that about anyone .
I knew what she was thinking and I hated that . I closed my eyes getting around my thoughts before opening them again .
- Not even her Esme. Not even her. I gently stroke my thumb against her cheek.
- The second I met you I knew their were something special about you. You are the more amazing, smart, loving, caring, women I've never met.
I saw a tears running down her cheek, I wiped it away .
- Carlisle.. I .. I love you so much. You saved me. I can't believe you actually love me.
I sigh. She still won't believe me.
- Esme, How can anyone not love you? I know it's hard for you, we will take it slow and I will keep telling you how much I love you and how beautiful you are until you believe me.
- Thank you.. She whispered
- You're welcome my love, now get some rest. I kissed her forehead one more time and we layed down together , with her in my arms.
I know I was probably going to be in trouble and things won't be easy but, she had my heart and I had hers, and together , we could do anything.
