Ch 45

Carlisle waited when Ellen finishes the breakfast and then they drove to his work. When he saw the people already waiting for him, he knew it would be a busy day. Wednesdays are the longest days and the number of visitors confirmed his worries.

And he was right. They were very busy. Since the morning people were coming. There must have been some sort of infection among the school kids and they were coming with cold and sore throat and some of them had stomach problems. Ellen knew most of the kids that were coming to see the local doctor. Some of them were from her class. She felt so sorry for the little sweethearts. How much they had to suffer.

They were acting as if having a flu and in addition some of them were vomiting too. She was afraid of Patty when she saw that but hoped that in the worst case, Carlisle would take care of her. Most of the kids had the same symptoms. It must have been tiring day for Carlisle….

For the first time he didn´t have time to go to her even for a second. He wanted to spend few minutes with her but he knew he couldn´t. Every time he tried to take a break, three other people appeared in the waiting room and he hurried to devote to his little innocent patients. He felt sorry for the small kids, it wasn´t easy to deal with this all. He tried to give them some medicine to fight with the virus.

Around lunch he received a phone call from his colleague from Forks. He desperately needed his consultation about a serious case and phoned Carlisle if he could head there. He agreed and apologised to the last waiting mother with her kid. She was a patient one, she decided to wait until he comes back. Ellen just watched him disappear without saying a word. He seemed to be in a hurry. She didn´t have even time to ask.

She returned back to her book. She finally took the Christmas gift from Emmett and began reading. She used to like the romantic books and had to admit that the book really got her.

The only difference was that she couldn´t look at the main hero as the true romantic one, since she met Dr. Carlisle Cullen, he seemed to her as the only unique romantic hero. He really was. She reminded of his understanding, patience, love, kisses, embraces…..she just wasn´t sure whether any romantic hero as described in the books was capable of this all. And the most important fact. This person was hers. It was her boyfriend, the most passionate love she has ever seen.

If only things weren´t too complicated. This is the disadvantage living in a huge house with a big family. There is much greater opportunity of being caught. It already happened many times. She wanted to spend more time with him being intimate and they just didn´t have proper opportunity. She looked at the watch. It´s been more than 40 minutes and he wasn´t coming back. It must have been something serious when he left like that.

Mrs. Collins was already becoming impatient.

Ellen watched her: „ Please, hold on, I am sure dr. Cullen must have hand something urgent. He just never leaves so fast without telling anyone."

She smiled at her and moved closer to her reception table. She smiled at Ellen: „ Don´t worry, I understand… it is just too long, I hope that Emily won´t be asleep when he comes back…"

She looked back at her daughter who was just playing with the dolls and seemed to be really tired.

Ellen noticed her and offered: „ Mrs. Collins, if you need, I can make you an appointment and you can come when Emily is already awake…we have a long day today…..it´s Wednesday, we end around four…"

She shook the head: „ No way, we wait….when we are already here, I hope she will get some good medicine that will work…. And she won´t vomit again"

Ellen just nodded: „ I am sure, dr. Cullen will give her some medicine to feel better…."

Mrs. Collins watched her: „ I apologise for intruding, but I would like to congratulate you…."

Ellen didn´t comment and she continued: „ I heard that you are going to get married to dr. Cullen….that you are engaged….."

Ellen blushed: „ Where did you hear that?"

She smiled innocently: „ My best friend claimed she heard it in the town…. From her friend…."

She was stucked, well, there must be really many gossips going about them. She had no idea of where this was coming from. She decided to stay silent. It is better when people think they are engaged than if they were claiming something else.

She watched the woman but couldn´t say anything. This was one of the nice women here. She didn´t want to be rude. Before she could say anything, the door opened and Carlisle entered. He apologised and immediately invited Mrs. Collins with her child in his office.

Ellen remained alone. She left for the bathroom and when she was coming back, she could see a small artificial singing flower on her table. She had to smile, it was really so cute. When she looked at the door, she could see Carlisle leaning against the door frame and watching her reaction. He came closer and hugged her.

She caressed his cheek: „ Thank you…what happened? You didn´t say a word….."

„ I am so sorry dear….the other pediatrician needed my immediate consultation..I had to get there as soon as possible…."

She nodded and hugged him: „ I missed you…."

„I missed you too…it´s been so busy here since the morning…..how are you?"

„Just tired…..but fine…thanks…..and thanks for the flower, it´s funny…."

„ I saw it in the window of the shop I was passing by and I couldn´t resist….."

„You´re sweet…."

„No you are….."

She moved her lips closer to touch him and enjoyed the moment with him. He could hear the nurse´s steps coming closer and pulled back.

He handed her the jacket and took his one: „ Would you like to eat outside?"

She asked: „ You aren´t busy?"

He looked at the clock in the room: „We still have 30 minutes for the lunch break….I believe we can make it….."

„Then I say yes….It would be nice…."

When the last patient left, it was almost 4.30.

The nurse had to leave at three, she was leaving on that afternoon. In the end she asked Carlisle for another day off and he didn´t want to disappoint her.

So he gave her two free days. The two hours he had to do also her work seemed incredibly hard. He knew that he cannot get tired, but still, it was too many unnecessary steps, he wasn´t used to doing. But every time he opened the door and saw Ellen deeply thrown in that kind of new book, he had to smile. She took Emmett´s gift really seriously.

Finally the today´s shift was over and he was looking forward to going home. He felt like he needed to spend some time with Ellen already. He closed the office and headed to her outside. She already had the jacket on and waited when he closes the office and locks the main door.

They arrived home and Patricia ran happily to them: „ I missed you both…."

Ellen hugged her: „ we missed you too Pattie….what were you doing with your class mates?"

„We were outside throwing snowballs and then building a snowman,,,,,,"

Carlisle laughed: „ You have enough practice with this right?"

Patricia laughed: „We trained this yesterday before you came home….Emm and Eddie were playing with me in snow…."

Edward came closer: „ Hi, you two…"

Then he turned to Patty: „ You said you hit some boys right?"

Patricia giggled: „ Yes, I did…They had no chance…."

Rosalie came out of the kitchen saying: „ girls, what would you say to a ladies night tomorrow?"

Emmett followed her: „ girls night? Wow….what about us?"

Ellen smiled: „ I like that idea….."

PAtty joined: „ Me too…."

Emmett turned to them: „ Then we will have a good hun….."

He was interrupted by Edward: „ We will go hiking, right dad?...we haven´t been out in the hills for so long…it could be nice…"

Carlisle noticed Emmett´s slip and added: „ Edward, you´re right, it will be nice…we will leave the girls to have their party time…."

He threw Emmett an amusing look and left the room. Luckily Ellen didn´t notice anything. He didn´t want her to find out. He wanted to tell her soon. He just needs to figure out how and when.

Rosalie took Emmett´s hand and they headed for walk. Ellen wanted to play with Patty and so Carlisle carried her upstairs and promised a good dinner for the evening. He wanted to cook this time because he wanted to surprise Ellen. They might have a nice evening.

Ellen was drinking the tea that was supposed to be for her Bella doll and enjoyed the moments with her child. Since living in the Cullen house, Patty always had someone to play with and so they didn´t get so much time to spend together as they used to have before. Therefore she was so grateful for their common play time after coming back from work.

Patty touched Ellen´s leg: „ Mum? Is the leg still hurting?"

Ellen watched her tenderly: „ Sweetie, it´s getting better…in few weeks I will be walking again…..without crutches…."

„ And will you come back to school?"

Ellen was surprised: „ Yes, of course, I will…"

„I thought you like working with Daddy….."

„Yes, I do….but sweetie I am a teacher….and I want to work with children again….."

„ but children come to Daddy too….."

Ellen had to smile, Patty was really so cute trying to find an answer for everything: „ Yes, you are right, baby, but I want to teach them how to read, count, sing…..you cannot do that in the doctor´s office…."

Patty nodded: „ I see….. will you drive me to school in your new car?" Ellen agreed: „ Yes, definitely…..when I am able to walk, I will….."

„Great, can´t wait…."

She wanted to add something when Carlisle opened the door: „ Dinner is ready….." Patricia smiled and ran downstairs when he stopped her: „ You forgot something….."

She pointed: „ I know…need to wash my hands" She hugged him and ran in the bathroom next door. Carlisle took Ellen in his arms and carried her downstairs to eat.

After they finished, Patty headed to shower and then to the bed.

She was incredibly tired. The whole day was so exhausting and on the next evening they will have the ladies night and she wanted to participate. Therefore she listened to Ellen and headed to bed a little earlier.

This time Patty wanted to listen a story from Jasper. The named one had no problem with that and opened the book. Carlisle was surprised by that but then Alice explained: „ Well, they have been reading in a fairy tale book since they arrived home….Jasper was reading aloud and Patty listened to him….." Ellen smiled: „ That´s great….."

She was glad that Patty loved everyone in the house. Yes, she adored Edward and Bella, she loved shopping and trying on dresses with Alice and Rosalie, Emmett was playing with her outside and Jasper read her stories. Everything was so perfect in this family. Carlisle opened the door and carried Ellen down to the living room.

He sat her on the sofa and asked: „ Do you want to watch a movie?"

„Yeah, I would love to…."

They sat down in the living room, finally being alone. Nobody else wanted to join them and she moved closer to his chest. He hugged her and they cuddled as the movie began. They finally enjoyed silently the calm moments.

They movie continued but Ellen realised that she knows absolutely nothing about the movie. She hoped they wouldn´t talk about it because she doesn´t remember anything. All she has in her mind concerns the man sitting next to her. He caught her attention completely. He was everything she could only think of. She couldn´t concentrate on anything more. She felt kind of ashamed but she couldn´t help it. She began watching his face and he noticed that.

After a second he turned to face her. Instinctively she moved her lips on his and they began kissing deeply. When feeling his lips on hers, she couldn´t think anymore. She felt incredibly beautiful and didn´t want to do anything else. She enjoyed this completely. Suddenly she reacted the way she would never expect. She couldn´t resist but she touched his T-shirt and pulled him closer on her. While kissing they appeared to be laying on the sofa, with Ellen was leaning on the cushions and Carlisle on her.

This was for the first time that he experienced something like this with her. He was stuck when he realised this and Ellen could see his nervosity. But she didn´t want him to feel uncomfortable. She knew she had promised to take things slowly. But in the last few days she couldn´t help it. She just wanted him so badly. She kissed him as tenderly as she could and touched his hands gently. This seemed to have calmed him and he returned back to her lips. It was another step for both. He seemed to enjoy this new position as much as she did.

His face was just millimetres away from hers and he enjoyed the closest look in her enchanting blue eyes. He simply couldn´t stop kissing her. The kisses were becoming so passionate that he was worried that he won´t be able to stop it. Now he felt he was losing his self-control again.

Ellen was moaning his name during the kisses and he couldn´t resist touching her soft skin under her T-shirt with his cold fingers. But on Ellen this had exactly the opposite effect. She was shivering, had weird feelings in her belly and enjoyed his touches completely. When his fingers travelled up to her bra, she was enjoying it completely. She couldn´t understand herself. She was repeating his name, loved his all touched. He could make her do anything. When he opened the laces and began touching her softly, she felt so incredibly beautiful. She couldn´t describe it, it was all so sensational, he could make her fly just by touching her. She has never experienced couldn´t keep herself quiet when his mouth was moving from her belly button to the places where his hands were touching few moments before. He suddenly realised that they weren´t alone in the house.

All his kids were upstairs in the house and were aware of everything going on. He didn´t want them to hear any more of this. He kissed her softly and returned back to her mouth kissing her lips slowly and slowly while bringing her back to the reality.

He watched her with all love in the eyes and waited when she opens back her eyes.

She did and looked at him with a not understanding look: „ What happened?"

He tapped light her nose with amusement: „ We´re not alone here….."

She looked around and realised that they were in the living room: „ I see…."

„Shall I start the movie again?"

She blushed: „ Yes, please….I have no clue what it was about…."

He grinned: „ Me neither…"

He kissed her on the nose and she whispered to his ear: „ This was so beautiful….."

He looked her tender in her eyes: „ I loved this too…. Few minutes more and I wouldn´t resist…."

He didn´t finish but she knew what he meant. They were both moving to the points where they weren´t able to control. She felt ready for more than just these incidental making outs.

She caressed his face and he kissed her forehead while starting the movie again from the beginning.
