A/N I don´t own anything from Twilight...
Ch 42
Monday morning was busy as usually. People were coming and leaving and Ellen still had so much to do.
She was glad, this is much better than just to stare to the book or surfing the internet.
For the last two months she had absolutely no time for the laptop. Yes, the Cullens had the wireless network in the house but she didn´t have time for that. There was still someone to have fun with and she didn´t need to open the laptop.
Around ten she was looking around, the last patient has just left with his mother and the waiting room was empty. She left for the bathroom and when she was coming back, she could see Carlisle hanging his jacket back on its place. He must have just returned.
She wondered: „ Taking a break?"
He nodded and left her a small cake on the table wrapped in a paper.
She jumped and asked: „ This is for me?"
He leaned closer to her and kissed her: „ I thought you might like it…." „Yes, I do…I love them….How come you know?..."
He smiled: „ I don´t, I just guessed…"
She tasted it: „ I like it a lot... thanks a lot…."
He wanted to move closer to her but the bell just disturbed them.
Before Ellen could jump to the opening button he was at the door and welcome the incoming mother with two children himself.
Ellen returned back to her work and filled the papers he gave her. She was supposed to order a few things and she spent some time figuring out how to do that. It took her a few minutes but in the end she succeeded.
During the lunch break she ordered the lunch from the nearby restaurant and when she was almost finished, Carlisle entered to her: „ Bon Appetit…"
She smiled: „ Thanks….are you going out to eat too?"
„No, not today…I have some paperwork to finish…"
„but you will be hungry, won´t you…?"
„ don´t worry… I will make it…."
She left her meal unfinished and jumped to him: „ But I have to worry….I don´t want you to feel bad…."
He hugged her around the waist and whispered in her ear: „ now I feel the best…..it is so pleasant to have you here all day…..you´re a sunshine…."
She smiled: „ Thank you... have I told you I like your blond hair? It shines through the whole room when you enter…."
He couldn´t resist to kiss her, when he did, the nurse opened the door.
When she saw Carlisle kissing Ellen, she closed them immediately.
She realised that all rumours in the Forks were true then. He was really having an affair with her. She used to be married and had a child.
But she is not the one to talk about that. She respected her boss´s privacy.
He was always so nice and considerate to everyone that she believed that he wouldn´t seduce a married woman. There must have been something more.
But definitely after the Christmas holidays he looked satisfied and relaxed. She hasn´t seen him like this for a very long time.
The door made the sound and he returned back to the work. The nurse began filling some prescriptions and then gave it to him to sign.
In the afternoon it was pretty busy and they were having so many people that they couldn´t leave exactly as planned. She was worried about Patty.
She was leaving pre-school around three and now it was almost four and they weren´t still leaving. It was so long and she was worried about Patty´s reaction.
When she texted to Carlisle that she would walk in there just with the crutches, he texted back: „ Love, don´t worry, Patty is already at home, Edward drove her…."
Ellen smiled and texted back: „ You could have told me…I was just worried…"
„Sorry Ellie, dear…busy time…."
He could surprise her somehow so much. At the same moment she received a picture message of Edward and Patricia building a snowman in the garden. She couldn´t stop grinning and resent the picture to Carlisle too. As a reply she received a smiley. He couldn´t have been that busy when he was able to reply to the text message in less than a minute.
Finally the last patient left and two minutes later also the nurse ran away: „Need to catch the bus home…"
Ellen waved and began packing her things.
Carlisle appeared in the normal clothes few minutes later: „ Let´s go home…"
„ I will be more than happy…."
She sat down in the car and fell asleep immediately. He was watching her and she seemed tired to him. He had no idea of what is going with her. She must have caught something. Sometimes she seemed to be acting weird, as if she had some stomach problems. He decided to watch her and force her to let him check her if she isn´t better in few weeks.
When they arrived home, he decided not to wake her up and carried her sleeping in the bedroom. He let her in the clothes and just covered her with the blanket.
Patricia wanted to greet mum but he showed her that she was sleeping and asked: „ Patty, would you like to go shopping with me?"
She nodded immediately and they headed to the mall. He needed to stop by in the pharmacy and then they went to the flower shop.
He chose a big bunch of roses and asked: „ Which color does mum like?"
Patty pointed: „ the pink ones are beautiful….."
He told the shop assistant to prepare a pack of the pink roses and bought one special for Patty. He gave it to her and she blushed:
„ Thanks, daddy… I like its smell…"
He watched her reaction and was curious of what Ellen would say. She was still sleeping when they arrived home. This time he allowed Patty to wake her mum up. Patricia did what he asked her to do and Ellen looked around confused:
„ Where…where am I? What happened?"
Patty smiled: „ Mum, you´re home…in your bed…."
Carlisle entered the room with the flowers in a vase:
„you were sleeping for so long, I was worried you would miss our surprise….."
Patty nodded: „ Yes, we just returned from the mall…"
Ellen could see Carlisle handing her the big bunch and she stared: „ Wow, they are beautiful….what are they for?..."
He handed them on the night table: „ for the fact that you are here….and that I love you…."
She caressed his cheek: „ You know that I love you….."
She kissed him and whispered: „ You´re constantly making me happy…."
„I can say the same about you and yet you ´re spoiling me so much….."
He returned back the hair that fell in her face behind the ear: „ it´s an amazing feeling to spoil the loved woman…."
She kissed him and Patricia watched them and screamed: „ I wanna be kissed too…."
They both laughed and each of them kissed her forehead.
On the following morning Ellen was feeling bad again. She didn´t eat much for dinner and as soon as she woke up, she had to run to the toilett where everything from her stomach returned to the toilett. She washed herself and hoped this won´t repeat. SHe hates this. It must be flying somewhere in the air. The kids from previous day were also vomitting. She didn´t say anything in front of Carlisle. She didn´t want to worry him. She knew he wouldn´t just let it be. And she has the appointment on Monday. She has to ask her doctor.
SHe was kind of worried of tuesday afternoon. Carlisle had an appointment with the woman that was inviting him to his home few days before they became a couple. They had an argument about that and Ellen was very angry with him then. He was very much aware of that and didn´t want the situation to repeat.
He knew that Ellen was very jealous and he wasn´t surprised. True mates sometimes act like this. Luckily he didn´t have to prove his jealousy yet. Ellen wasn´t the kind of flirting woman. He didn´t have to show this side of him.
On the other hand he knew that he would have to do something so that Ellen wouldn´t feel bad in front of the woman. He was trying to find some gesture but then he waved the hand and decided to leave it open. He will certainly figure out at the right time.
Patricia wanted to drive with Edward to school again. She came to ask Ellen. She agreed, she felt sad about it but understood that Patty wants to enjoy Edward´s company. Carlisle´s kids are leaving next week again and they will be alone in the house again.
Ellen managed to eat the breakfast without any problems. She didn´t want to cause worries to Carlisle and therefore pretended that everything was alright. He could guess something wrong but waited when she would tell him. He knew that she read about today´s appointment and maybe this is the reason. But he wasn´t sure….. He decided to talk to her before the practice opens.
