Ch 31
Carlisle closed the door and headed outside with Ellen in the arms, Bella was just giving Patricia in the car seat. They all travelled home and in the living room everyone was curious about the news from the mountain trip. Edward was sitting on the sofa and talking to everyone. Patty ran in his arms when she came in. He held her in his lap and began talking:
„ I was surprised myself. Patty was really so good at it, she knew how to do it after the first day. I didn´t have to try too much to teach her….she was really fast….."
Patty giggled: „ And in the last race I won…"
Edward laughed: „ Yes, princess, you did…."
Ellen asked: „ And were you nice?"
Patty nodded: „ Yes, mum… it was great….we were having ice cream every night…."
Everyone laughed and Bella commented: „ It was supposed to be a secret….."
Patty touched her mouth: „ Oops, I forgot…."
Another burst of laughter in the room.
Patty was sitting next to Ellen hugging her, Carlisle disappeared with Emmett. In an hour Patty was already eating dinner prepared by Bella. When she finished, Emmett came in and called:
„ A surprise…."
Everyone looked to the front and Carlisle was helping Emmett with a huge Christmas tree. Patricia watched them with amazement in her eyes. She hasn´t seen such tree home, such were only in the malls.
Carlisle came to Patty: „ What do you think?"
He caressed her hand and she screamed:
„ Wow, this is a big one…I love it….."
Alice asked: „ Patty, will you help me and Bella to decorate it?"
She screamed immediately: „Yes, yes, yes….."
Ellen looked at the watch:
„ Patty, you will help Alice and Bella but you will do it tomorrow….it´s already after eight."
Patty asked Alice:
„ Will you wait for me until tomorrow?"
Alice replied: „ Of course, Patty, we will, don´t worry…"
Bella came closer to Patty:
„ Princess, we should go to the bathroom and then straight to bed"
Patricia agreed and kissed everyone for good night.
Edward asked: „ Ellen, do you want to….?"
He didn´t have to finish the sentence before she jumped in:
„ Yes, please…..thank you…."
Bella went upstairs with Patty and Edward carried Ellen to them.
Ellen remained with Patty in the bed and caressed her: „ I was missing you so much…."
„ So was I mum….but uncle Edward claimed that I was a big girl….."
Ellen smiled: „ Yes, you are no longer a baby, but a young girl already..…."
„Mum, was uncle Carlisle taking care of you?"
Luckily Ellen couldn´t hear the laugh downstairs.
Ellen replied: „ Yes, sweetie, he was…"
„Mum, do you think Santa will not forget about me?"
Ellen asked: „ Patty, has he ever forgotten about you?"
Patty replied: „ no….but I have a special wish and I am not sure if Santa can fulfill that…."
„And will you tell me?"
„I will whisper it in your ear….."
Patty did that and Ellen gasped. Her baby girl was already so smart.
„Would you wish that?..."
Patty nodded: „ Yes, so much…."
Ellen kissed her: „ Why do you think that Santa cannot fulfill it?..."
„I asked uncle Edward and he told me that I need to beg you…."
Ellen replied: „ Well, then I will talk to Santa about it and we´ll see what we can do, ok?"
Patty looked at her with worries in her eyes: „ Do you promise?"
Ellen hugged her: „ Yes, I do….I love you baby…"
Patricia fell asleep a moment later and Ellen was thinking about what she has just heard from her daughter. Patricia wishes uncle Carlisle to be her daddy. She had no idea how Patty came up with this idea.
It really surprised her. It was clear that Patricia got really close to Carlisle. He certainly loves her too, he made it clear last night and it was also visible from his attitude towards her. He was spoiling her in a way but on the other hand, he could also make her do what he wanted without raising a voice once.
Ellen fell asleep next to her in the bed and she woke up when somebody touched her arm: „ Elly…." She opened her eyes and could see Carlisle smiling at her:
„ Would you like me to carry you in the bedroom?"
„it would be great…thanks…."
He took her in the arms. He went with her to the bed and kissed her for good night. Then he left.
Ellen had no idea that the whole family knew about her daughter´s Christmas wish.
Edward and Bella knew it directly from Patty during their mountain trip when they were asking about what she would like to get from Santa.
The rest of them heard it when Patty whispered it to Ellen. It was a nice surprise for all of them, but especially for Carlisle. He felt his dreams becoming true. He knew that Patty dreamed of this once but this meant even more because she decided to tell Ellen. And Elly didn´t refuse her.
Alice looked at Edward and he smiled back. Carlisle watched them and laughed:
„ Alice, Edward…I thought I had made myself clear…..no intrusion…no involvement…"
Alice giggled: „ Of course dad….we respect your privacy….."
Edward added: „ of course we do…..we haven´t said anything…." He laughed: „ I know…I just…. I know you two pretty well….."
Ellen woke up in the morning and enjoyed the moments in the bed. She stretched the hands and had to smile. She felt so nice, finally Patty was back and they may start the relationship soon, she is in love with amazing man. She couldn´t believe that she could be so lucky. And yet the upcoming free days. She loved these days since she was a child. She was surprised by the big tree the day before. This must have been a shock for Patty. Ellen loved the way her daughter stared when Emmett and Carlisle brought it through the balcony door.
She sat down happily and smiled when she heard knocks on the door: „ Come in…."
She knew who is there.
He came in immediately and she felt much better at the same moment.
He kissed her cheek and handed her the small bed table with breakfast:
„Room service, for a beautiful lady…."
Ellen laughed: „ thank you…..did you sleep better?"
At first he looked a bit confused but then he remembered: „ Yes, I did…..much better…"
Ellen was watching him but didn´t say anything. He was cute when he was lost in thoughts. She had to giggle, her nice Carlisle was not able to control everything and he was looking so sweet when she confused him. He touched his hair with hands and sat down next to her.
She took a piece of cake that Bella baked and handed it closer to his lips. He opened the mouth and hesitantly ate it. When she smiled, he took another piece and wanted Ellen to taste it.
Ellen had to giggle, she felt like a teenager again.
She looked at the watch and asked: „ Is Patty already awake?"
„She woke up three hours ago….."
He giggled and Ellen shrugged: „Why didn´t you wake me?..."
„You must have been tired after the long week…."
„ Well, you spoil me…..it´s your fault…."
He watched her with amusement: „ Mine?"
She nodded innocently: „ You let me sleep long all the time, who wouldn´t get used to it?"
„ I am glad you have somebody to blame…."
He had to laugh. „ Well, it´s better than to admit my own fault…."
„Definitely…."
„What is she doing?"
He coughed: „ She is decorating the tree with Bella , Rose and Alice…..and it looks she is commanding them all…. She reminds me of Alice….."
Ellen just shook the head: „ I can´t believe it…. She is incredible….."
He finished the sentence: „ She´s lovely…. So are you…"
He looked at her with a sincere look.
She took his hand: „ May we join them?..I mean….I would like to watch…."
He agreed: „ of course…..just finish the breakfast…."
Ellen drank the coffee and jumped to the bathroom. Carlisle brought the meal back to the kitchen and returned back to her bedroom. Ellen was just changing the clothing.
Few minutes after he carried her downstairs. When she was sitting on the sofa, Patty ran to hug her:
„ Mum, did you have nice dreams?" Ellen reminded of the dreams of Carlisle and blushed.
Alice was watching her and winked.
Ellen looked at Patty: „ Yes, sweetie I did….and you?"
„Yes"
Patty screamed and jumped back to the large tree where they were hanging the Christmas decorations. They were enjoying the Christmas atmosphere, the carols were playing from the stereo and they had a very nice morning.
In the afternoon Carlisle needed to leave. He wanted to pick the gift he had for Ellen. He mumbled something about being right back and disappeared in the garage.
When he left, Alice asked Ellen: „ Do you have any plans for the afternoon?"
Ellen looked at her with doubts: „ Alice, do you think I can have some plans?"
She played innocent: „ I meant, if you and dad don´t have anything special to do….."
Ellen replied: „ I guess not, he just left….."
Alice laughed and clapped:
„Well, time for the shopping trip, girls…!"
She exclaimed.
Ellen was staring at them: „ Alice, I have no idea what you have in mind but I am not able to walk…."
Alice waved the hand: „ Well, first option is that my lovely Jasper would carry you all the time…."
She smiled at her husband who looked up from the book and waved them with smile.
Alice continued: „ Or a possibility number 2… look what I have….."
She took out crutches from the closet.
Bella laughed: „ These were mine….."
Alice nodded: „ Right, Bella, now Ellen may use them…."
Rose murmured: „ Dad will kill you Alice…."
Alice giggled: „ Well, technically he can´t, but what he doesn´t know….doesn´t hurt him…."
Ellen was watching her with smile. Alice was so deep into this, she couldn´t ruin this action.
She wanted to ask question about Patty but Alice already responded:
„ Don´t worry, Patty and guys will finish the job, won´t you sweethearts?"
Edward responded: „ of course, Alice…enjoy the time….."
Girls helped Ellen to the car and took the crutches with them. Alice was the last one and before she closed the door, she stated:
„ Shut the fuck up, dad may not know a thing... about the….you know what…"
The men laughed out loud. They hardly heard Alice speaking like this.
Jasper watched her: „ Language, darling…."
Alice waved and left the room.
Rose started the jeep and drove to the mall. Ellen was sitting in the back together with Bella and listened to her talks about their mountain trip.
Alice looked back at Bella and Ellen and laughed: „ And now we´re finally gonna have a girls party….are you with me?"
They all agreed happily. Alice commented: „ Elly, it is your turn today…we will show you what it means to shop with the Cullen girls….right ladies?"
Rose and Bella giggled. Bella helped her out of the car and helped her with the movement.
They headed in the clothing shop and they all started bringing her different kind of clothing. Ellen just stared.
Alice guessed her size easily. Ellen wasn´t exactly as thin as Bella or Alice, but Alice could choose outfits that fit her figure and could hide nicely what didn´t look exactly the best.
Alice sent Bella to the place where Ellen was trying on new clothes to help her with changing the different kinds of T-shirts, trousers, blouses, and dresses. There were so many of them ready for Ellen to put them on.
Ellen wondered when she was standing in front of the mirror:
„ Alice? How are you doing that? Everything you choose fits perfect and looks yet better…"
Alice seemed to be pleased: „ Years of experience honey….."
After she tried on the last piece, Ellen came outside and watched where Alice and Rosalie disappeared. Then she could see them. Alice was already at the cashier´s desk and Rose helping her with giving the clothes in the prepared bags. Alice took back the credit cared and they returned to Bella and Ellen.
Ellen wondered: „ Alice? What was that? I wanted to choose something….I didn´t mean to take all of it" Alice giggled: „ You see? We took everything that fit you….."
Ellen protested: „ No, you cannot mean it, I mean, you cannot pay for me….It´s so expensive…"
Alice commented: „ Don´t worry, it´s family money and dad certainly won´t mind if we spend few bucks on your clothing."
Ellen stared: „ Few bucks?"
Alice hugged her around the shoulder: „ Elly, don´t worry…..we all do that…..once upon a time we go like this and we buy clothes, shoes, lingerie for each of us… and for our men as well….… each of us has a lover and we want to be adored by our guys, right ladies?"
Rose and Bella couldn´t help but giggle. Bella came closer: „ Ellen, you will like it, you´ll see…..Alice wants just the best…"
Alice nodded: „ Right, dad will be astonished when he sees you…..let´s go, lingerie is the next on the list….."
Before Ellen managed to protest, they helped her all to move faster to the neighbouring shop.
Ellen got closer to Alice: „ Alice, is it necessary?" Rose mentioned: „ Elly, it´s beautiful…you´ll be perfect in that…."
Ellen was just looking down shyly. She never enjoyed buying the underwear. She felt ashamed. Alice commented: „ Ellen, look, I am more than sure that you will need them…why not to be prepared in advance?"
Ellen blushed immediately and Alice added: „ See? I was right….. just try these bras so that we know the exact size…."
Ellen couldn´t believe her eyes. Alice was getting crazy, it was clear that shopping was her passion.
She could make everyone do whatever she wants. Alice and Rose made her try on at least ten of different bras with pants.
When she did, they seemed to be satisfied and left to have it packed and pay for them.
Ellen was shocked, they bought all ten at once. She never had so many new underwear.
When they were leaving the lingerie shop, Ellen seemed to be pretty shocked from this all therefore Rose suggested a break. Bella asked:
„ Let´s have some coffee and ice cream, shall we?" All of them agreed. They headed to the nearby cafeteria.
The waiter brought them the coffee and Ellen had the ice cream also. She needed it. Alice´s addiction was something completely new to her.
Alice could see that this was too much for Ellen to bear and tried to calm her:
„ Elly, don´t worry…..Bella felt the same like you when she started going with us…. She always made fun, she didn´t want to be my Bella-Barbie….. after some time she gave up…"
Rose added: „ Yes, we usually shop for everyone….today when you are with us for the first time…..we have the feeling you need our help with everything….."
Ellen replied: „ But I really don´t need a brand new sets of clothing, underwear and this all…I have my old clothes and I am satisfied with them."
Alice commented: „ Yes, just imagine how happy our dad will be when he sees you in such sweet stuff…."
Ellen blushed again.
Bella hugged her: „ Ellie, breathe, it´s gonna be fine, Alice is just teasing you…."
And she threw a weird look at her telling her to stop this.
Alice understood but didn´t forget the last question: „ Ok, one more thing I am gonna ask: do you love dad?" Ellen blushed again and nodded: „ Yes, with my whole heart….."
Alice smiled content: „ great…..then we will have nice Christmas….."
Ellen couldn´t get her but she already knew that Alice acts weird sometimes.
She finished the ice cream and Bella asked: „ How is the leg, Elly, does it hurt you?"
Ellen shook the head: „ No, not at all…I am fine….the crutches make walking easier for me…"
Alice exclaimed: „ Great, let´s go on then….."
And she pointed at the shoe shop.
Ellen sighed: „ Great, finally, I don´t have to take my clothes off….I don´t like that too much…my figure is terrible….."
Rose commented: „ You should really forget about your hang-up from your figure. You´re beautiful….the way you are….."
Ellen nodded: „ Thanks, Rose…."
The girls brought her so many shoes and she was trying them. Apart from clothing, she enjoyed this a lot.
Alice took everything that fit and went to pay for it while Bella was helping Ellen to get to her old shoe.
Ellen giggled: „ I must admit that it´s been years since I bought myself new shoes…."
Bella replied: „ You´ll get used to this, Alice loves to fulfill our closets with clothes. When I dated Edward, she had a box full of clothes in my size if I ever needed some spare clothes. I must say that there were times when I was really grateful for that…..this is our Alice….."
Alice added: „ I can hear it….."
Ellen stood up and with the help of the crutches and Bella on the side she was able to move pretty well.
The last stop was the cosmetics saloon. Alice had already a reservation for the whole afternoon for all of them. They had the whole saloon just for themselves. But she said nothing about that to Ellen.
She just smiled: „ Now we´re going to relax…."
Alice introduced Ellen to Marcia. She helped her to get to different departments. They began with facial, pedicure, manicure, then she took her to the colleague who cut her hair a bit and did a beautiful new haircut. Ellen felt like princess, she never had money and time for this and therefore she was enjoying this completely. Alice was delighted when she saw Ellen´s excitement.
In the end Marcia accompanied Ellen to Beverley who applied her the make up. When Ellen looked in the mirror, she couldn´t believe her own eyes. She looked stunning.
Bella and Rose came to see Ellen and they clapped:
„ Elly, you are so beautiful…the new haircut fits you so much…."
Alice appeared next to them and laughed: „ Dad´s jaw will fall down when he sees you…. I bet…."
All of them laughed. Ellen did too.
She was getting used to Alice´s weird sense of humour.
So this is all for today... :-))), Please let me know if you liked the girls afternoon :-)))) I swear I would enjoy it too :-)))))
