Soooo, another chapter today...it´s kind of about Christmas, I know it´s spring now (despite it doesn´t look like that...at least not in Europe... we have looong winter this year...), but it includes some romance too...
This is kind of small highlight of the story...therefore I would love to know what you feel about it till now...
I am curious to know your opinion whether it is worthy to continue
(I don´t want to spend time on something people don´t read or don´t want to read...)
so now it is up to YOU to let me know... ( I have many ideas in my head but I need to know also some feedback...)
Thanks a lot to everyone...
A/N I don´t own anything from Twilight, just the plot and the Williams family...
Ch 33…
Ellen was sitting close to Patricia hugging her. Patty was kind of nervous. She had no idea if Santa would fulfill her wish and Ellen tried to calm her. Suddenly somebody rang at the door. Alice went to open and brought a package for Ellen.
She wondered: „ Wow, it really arrived….I didn´t believe….."
She wanted to stand up and jumped to the stairs to get to her bedroom alone. Jasper as watching her with interest: „ Elly, are you sure it is the best idea?"
She smiled: „ Well…it depends….."
He came closer: „ May I help you?"
She nodded with smile and let herself be carried in her bedroom.
He opened the door and sat her on the bed: „ When you are ready, just shout and I will take you back, ok?"
She hugged him: „ Thank you, Jasper…."
She ran to her closet for the wrapping paper. She didn´t expect this to arrive in time. She was thinking about Patricia´s wish on the previous day and then she decided to send an online a order for the photo book.
She made a photo collage with Patricia´s pictures since she was a child.
She went through all of them making sure there was no Derek on them.
The company promised to send it immediately with messenger because she paid almost a fortune for the last moment gift.
But now when she had almost no expenses for household and she managed to spare some money, she could afford it…..
She wanted this as a surprise for Carlisle and Patty. Her daughter wanted to have him as a daddy and what is a better way than to give him a book full of her photos since she was a child.
The second half of the book was full of the pictures with the Cullens that his kids or Ellen took.
Alice was always sending them on her email.
There were also very nice photos of Patty with Carlisle and Ellen thought this might be a nice idea.
This surprise came in the last two hours she almost lost hope. After 4pm Carlisle will be at home and she will have no time for preparation because Alice claimed they would start with this around six so that Patty wouldn´t fall asleep.
And Ellen was sure that with everything that she has on her mind, this night will be very long.
After Jasper took her back to the living room, Bella handed her the ice cream. Ellen smiled and tasted the delicious chocolate flavor.
Ellen finished the ice cream and then she heard the bell again. She could hear Bella scream and then she heard a female and male voice.
Bella exclaimed: „ I was hoping you would appear….."
The male replied: „ Well, we almost missed the plane…."
Bella was hugging them both and said: „ Renesmee, Jacob, I would like to introduce you to Ellen and her daughter Patricia…..They live with us here now…."
Ellen couldn´t hear that but Jake whispered in surprise: „ Humans?"
Bella nodded:
„Ellen is Carlisle´s mate and she lives here with her child…."
Renesmee smiled: „ Wow, so grandpa is no longer lonely….?"
She could see smile in her mum´s face and Bella hugged her again: „ I am so glad you are here…I missed you…."
Jake seemed to be interested in the situation: „ And I expect she has no idea?"
Bella shook the head: „ No…."
He laughed: „ At least somebody warm among you all here…"
Renesmee nudged him: „ Jake…."
He apologised: „ Sorry…..I couldn´t help it…..Do I know her?"
Bella refused: „ I doubt it….They´re pretty new in Forks…."
Then she looked at her daughter:
„ Sweetie, please don´t take it wrong, but since Ellen has no idea…. That you are our child…..could you please call me and dad by name? We told her we have a cousin…"
Nessie looked at her mum but agreed: „ Of course….."
Jake was excited to get to know her.
He had no idea that after everything that happened around Bella, this family could have another human, better said humans among them.
He entered the room and waved: „ Hi, everyone…"
Ellen could see a handsome young man followed by a beautiful woman with curly hair.
Bella came in and talked: „ Ellen, this is our cousin Renesmee with her boyfriend Jacob…."
Jacob went to shake her hand: „ Nice to meet you…."
Ellen smiled: „ Well, my name is Ellen… and this is my daughter Patricia…."
Jake touched gently the little one: „ Hi, little one…I am Jake…"
Patty greeted him and said shyly: „ Patty….Nice to meet you…."
They greeted also with Renesmee and then she went to hug Edward….. She missed her parents so much.
Edward asked: „ We were worried you couldn´t make it this year…."
Jake commented: „ Well, we almost didn´t , the plane was delayed and we almost missed the following flight….."
When they talked, they had no idea about the time. They almost didn´t hear the person that appeared in the living room.
He came closer and laid his hands on Ellen´s eyes. She immediately knew who it was because of the familiar scent and enjoyed this little game.
Patty turned around immediately and jumped in his arms: „ Uncle, Carlisle….we missed you…."
He laughed: „ Nessie, Jake, welcome home….."
Jake just waved: „ Hi….nice to see ya…."
And Nessie went to hug him too.
She had to hug him together with Patty because the child didn´t want to let him go.
He sat down with the little one next to Ellen whispering: „ Hi…." to her.
Alice suddenly stood up and asked: „ Patty, would you like to go with me outside for a while? I need to find something….."
Patricia ran to her: „ of course…."
Everyone went for the only one gift they were supposed to have prepared and Ellen asked: „ Edward, could you please take me upstairs?"
He stood up: „ Of course, can we just stop in my room too?"
She giggled: „Of course….."
He left her in front of her bedroom and disappeared in his one.
Ellen took out the envelope and the small package for Carlisle, and a big box for Patricia.
Edward laughed when he saw that but handed her another thing he had for his wife and asked her to hold this all.
Then he took her in the arms and ran upstairs.
Carlisle was waiting next to the stairs waiting when they come downstairs. Then he disappeared in his bedroom too.
Ellen laid their things to the Christmas tree next to other boxes and Edward laughed:
„ Ellen, we said one thing for each person…."
Ellen laughed: „ Don´t be so curious Edward…these two things are connected….."
He nodded: „ Alright, I trust you …. I hope they are for me….. I´d be delighted…."
She laughed: „ No, truly, they aren´t….." everyone else joined them.
Emmett went to check Alice and Patty and then sent Alice to bring her presents too.
When she appeared back, Edward rang on the bell and Emmett led Patty back to the room.
When they entered, there were some boxes at the Christmas tree. Patty couldn´t keep her eyes from the decorated tree. She was staring at the boxes for so long.
Emmett noticed her reaction and began gently tickling her shoulders:
„ Come on, baby….Santa must have already left something here….."
Edward was already holding Patty´s present giving it to her:
„ I believe, he left here some samples and he will bring the rest tonight when we are all asleep….."
Patty ran to him and took the box.
She left it with Ellen and Edward asked: „ Will you help me to hand out the other gifts?"
She nodded with laughter and she was carried the gifts to everyone.
Carlisle got his gifts as the last one and asked: „ I thought that each person would get only one gift…."
Edward claimed: „Santa said they belong together…"
Patty repeated what Edward just said and Carlisle nodded amused: „Alright, I get it..…"
When Patty handed out all gifts, Alice said: „ I believe, Patty should start opening her gift….."
Patricia nodded, took her box and ran to sit down next to Rose and began tearing up the paper.
She giggled: „ Wow, that´s beautiful…"
Ellen was watching her little daughter who just opened the gift. She bought her a drawing set with princesses. She knew Patty would love it. From her amazement she could say that she really enjoys it. She pointed at Rose: „ Auntie, it´s your turn now….."
Rosalie agreed and opened her box with a beautiful earrings from Emmett: „ Love, they are amazing…."
Emmett kissed her and she tried them on immediately. Especially all women in the room seemed interested in them. Rosalie gave away the paper and watched the family. She looked at Alice and she just winked.
Therefore she turned back and said what everyone desired to know: „ Dad, I think it´s your turn….." He nodded having no suspicion. He began with the envelope. Ellen sitting next to him was watching him.
She was asking herself whether it was the right decision, right here in front of the whole family.
But she knew she would never find courage to tell him straight in the eyes and this was much better. Together with the Christmas atmosphere, it could be a nice surprise…..
She could see that everyone was watching Carlisle impatiently and Edward stared directly at her.
When she noticed him, he smiled gently to support her.
Meanwhile Carlisle opened slowly the envelope and took out a piece of paper. He opened it and read the word there.
He hesitated for a second and Ellen began to worry when she saw his expression.
It suddenly changed when he looked in her eyes for reassuring that he understood right.
He seemed to be really happy, his eyes were suddenly so warm and smiling he asked: „ Does it really mean that…..?"
Ellen touched his hand: „ Yes, ….I am ready…"
He whispered happily: „ I love you…"
He kissed her finally without any doubts about their relationship. Ellen felt a little bit relieved after a moment.
When she saw his first expression, she thought he would reject her.
Then he laughed so beautifully that she felt she melted when he took her in the arms.
She enjoyed the kiss but for a second felt a bit embarrassed that all Carlisle´s relatives were watching them with curiosity.
She believed that everyone was happy for them.
He suddenly pulled the lips away but truly he didn´t want to. He wanted to touch her forever.
When he left her lips free, she whispered: „ I love you too…." He caressed her face and hugged her happily.
Everyone in the room clapped and laughed.
The whole family was seemed to be excited that their father is in love again.
Immediately he hugged her around the waist and held her tightly leaning against his chest.
She whispered: „ It´s not everything…" He looked back at the package next to him.
Patty was watching them kissing and felt a bit confused. Her mum was kissing uncle Carlisle and this was so new to her.
She had no idea what this means.
She was looking at them with a not very understanding look. They stopped kissing and Carlisle checked the other gift.
He wanted to open the book when Patty asked: „ Mum, you were kissing uncle Carlisle…..does it mean that…" Ellen was watching her and Patty finished: „ that he will be my daddy….?"
Ellen replied: „ Patty, come here…."
Patricia jumped up to her and sat on her lap: „ sweetie, you told me this was your wish from Santa…..so I think that if you still want ….and if uncle Carlisle agrees….then….."
She didn´t finish the sentence and could see as Carlisle was watching little Patty feeling nervous and little bit confused of this all.
He caressed her hair: „ Sweetie, look at me please…."
Patricia did that and he whispered: „ Would you like me to become your dad?... I would so much love to have such a wonderful girl as my daughter…"
She smiled immediately and jumped to him hugging him around the neck: „ You know that I would like to…It was my wish I wanted from Santa…."
He hugged her tight and then she asked: „ Isn´t it me on the pictures in the book?"
He agreed: „ Yes, it is…... your mum wanted me to see what a beautiful baby you were and what a beautiful young girl you have become…"
He began browsing through the pages and in the end he could see the common pictures of his kids together with Patty and the last two pages were full of photos with of him and Patty.
Patricia laughed: „ it is us…." He nodded: „ Yes,…." And Patty finished: „ We look good….I like that….."
Everyone laughed and he hugged her tight: „ I love you my baby girl…"
Patricia watched him: „ I love you too, unc…sorry, I meant daddy Carlisle…..if you are now my dad…."
He smiled: „ I will be delighted…"
He was holding Patty in his arms and with his other hand he pulled also Ellen closer.
He whispered to them: „ I love you my girls…today you´ve both made me the happiest person in the whole world…my life has sense again….."
Ellen could feel the tears running down her cheeks again and Patty was wiping them.
All eyes in the room were following the scene and they began shouting aloud again.
This was a very special moment for the whole family. Because not only their dad was finally happy but also they gained a small young sister who already became everyone´s darling.
