Ch 58
Ellen opened her eyes and she was alone in a big bed. Before she attempted to sit, someone opened the door.
She smiled when Carlisle entered the door: „ It´s breakfast time…."
She smiled and checked the watch: „ Aren´t we supposed to go to work?"
He smiled back: „ Yes, we are….but it´s still early…."
She looked at the plenty of food he ordered and asked: „ Will you have too?"
He watched her: „ Elly, as I said last night…..we don´t eat…..actually the food tastes terrible…."
She grinned: „ And how did you manage to create the impression of eating during the whole months?"
He just shrugged and she couldn´t help but he seemed so cute. She caressed his cheek: „ OK, but now I am really hungry…..we kind of skipped the dinner….."
He handed her the plate and kept her company while she ate.
When she finished he, touched her hand: „ You´re so beautiful….."
She grinned: „ thank you…." He was thinking about something. She could see his hesitation.
Therefore she squeezed his hand: „ What´s going on in your head?"
He smiled surprised by her reaction: „ Actually, I am curious about seeing you walking without the cast on your leg….."
She laughed: „ Me too…..it´s complicated to be dependant on you….."
He became serious again: „ Do you think…you will…. I mean…accept my family?..."
He kept his look on her expecting the answer. Ellen looked at her hands: „ Carlisle, truly…I hope I will….. I will try….. it´s gonna be hard to get used to the idea considering what your nature is…but I want to try…"
He hugged her: „ You´re my sweetheart…the most important person in my life….."
She smiled:" So are you…together with Patricia…. And the little one…."
She pointed at her stomach." He kissed the top of her head: „ See? I told you you would learn to love the little one….."
She nodded: „ You were right…I just needed some time…."
He moved her a bit away and checked the watch. Then he felt a bit uncomfortable. He didn´t want this moment to end but he knew that they had to leave in order to be at work at ten. He already sent the text to the nurse about late arrival.
He watched Ellen: „ Love, I am sorry to say….but we need to leave in few moments….if we want to be at work on time…"
„Sure…..I hope the nurse won´t mind me wearing the same clothes as last night…."
He suddenly laughed and handed her the bag he brought from the car: „ I wanted to give it to you but when you began with the topic...This is from Alice…."
Ellen watched him surprised and looked in the bag. She could see brand new clothes and gasped: „ Wow….I can´t believe….."
Carlisle commented amused: „ I told you…Alice can see things…. So she knew about this and sent you clean clothes. She knew you might need them…."
Ellen thanked and left to the shower to change.
When she came back few minutes later, Carlisle had already packed everything and they could leave the place. When they were in the car again, she said: „ It´s sad that we couldn´t stay longer…I liked the place…."
He kissed her hand: „We will return again…..I didn´t know if you would like it…"
„I did…a lot….wonderful place…Ufortunately, we didn´t even have time to see the surroundings….."
He added with a serious face: „ And we even didn´t have time to test the bed…."
He could see her blush in the face and caressed her cheek while he stopped at the traffic lights.
She didn´t say anything when he added: „ Elly, I was just teasing you…"
„ I know…." She had to giggle...she couldn´t help it.
They arrived to work and Ellen went to do her duties.
The phones were ringing like crazy, people were coming all the time and she had no time to think of anything else but work. They even had to skip lunch. After two p.m. it looked better.
He asked: „ Would you like to go to lunch now or take a small snack and we can cook lunch at home?"
„Great….we can eat at home….."
He agreed and after few minutes he was back without his coat holding his medical bag with the paperwork. He stood at her table watching her reaction. She was surprised by the fact that he already wanted to go home: „ We don´t have the afternoon hours?"
He checked the watch: „ Well, we should finish at three….but I think, we should already go home…..these two days have been hard for both of us….." She finally understood: „ wonderful idea….I can´t wait to see Patty…."
„I spoke with Edward and he said they brought Patty home after lunch….so I believe she is expecting us impatiently." Ellen kissed him: „ You´re so thoughtful….I like that….."
He held her the coat and then helped her out of the practice. When they arrived to the Cullen house, Ellen could see Patricia standing close to the window together with Edward waving to the arriving car. When they parked in the garage, she was already there wishing to hug them. Ellen was holding her and kissing her cheek: „ I missed you so much baby…"
Patricia hugged her tight again: „ I missed you so much mum, yesterday Edward and Bella took me to the cinema to see the Tinkerbell story and I loved it….."
Ellen was so happy to be with her baby girl again: „ Great…. I am glad you enjoyed it…..What was it about?..."
Together they were walking to the living room when Carlisle said: „ And I won´t be hugged, my princess?"
Patricia laughed and ran in his arms: „ Sorry, dad… I missed you so much too…I just wanted to tell mum…."
When he stopped her: „ I know, baby girl. You don´t have to apologise….."
„Daddy, you know I am no longer a baby girl…I am already a big one…."
He watched her amused: „ I know, Pattie, I just…for me you will always be my little girl….."
Patricia hugged him and then he gave her back on the floor. He kneeled down to her: „ I was planning to cook the lunch for your mum, will you assist me?"
She laughed: „ Yeah…..that´s gonna be amazing…"
Ellen watched them both and felt so touched.
Carlisle looked back at Ellen: „ Can you see what an amazing assistant I have?"
She grinned: „ I can see that…the best one….."
Patricia took Carlisle´s hand and lead him to the kitchen. Apart from the kitchen she definitely had a lot to tell him and seemed to be interested in everything.
Ellen remained alone in the corridor when Bella and Edward came closer: „ Welcome home, Elly….."
Edward commented and went to hug her. Bella did the same but Edward could hear Ellen´s anxiety.
He tried to calm her: „ Elly, I know you are worried…and don´t know what to expect but I can guarantee…you….that we all…..won´t ever harm you or your children….you´re part of this family…and we love you..."
Bella noticed her hand with a beautiful ring: „ Wow, Ellen, it´s so amazing….." She raised her hand to see it. Ellen also had no time to watch it properly. Edward looked at it and Ellen laughed at him: „ Edward, I would like to warn you...don´t you dare to read my mind, alright?..." He grinned: „ As you wish, Ellie…but I can´t help it….your mind is just screaming without me even coming closer….." She smiled back: „ and what is it saying?" He smirked: „ Well, it shouts that you are so much in love with someone….but actually I can´t figure out who it is…" Ellen and Bella laughed.
A minute later Edward headed to the kitchen to check on Patty and Carlisle.
Bella suddenly watched Ellen: „ Can I talk to you for a moment?"
„Sure….."
„Can we go to my room?"
„Alright….." They headed to the bedroom of Bella and Edward. Ellen has never been to this part of the house. They had their own armchairs in there and Bella pointed at them. Ellen sat down and waited what Bella wants to say.
She began: „Ellen, I know….it´s not easy to be with us now….I can understand you…it´s been a few years since Edward changed me….." Ellen stared: „Changed you?..."
Bella nodded: „ Well, probably I should tell you everything…..So many things have happened but I will try to make it all easy to understand….if you don´t get something, just stop me, ok?"
Ellen agreed and Bella began talking: „ Well, when I was seventeen, I moved to my father to live in Forks with him. At the high school I met Edward and fell in love with him. From the first moment I knew there was something strange about him... …" She finished just with the point when the Volturi left and in the end there was no battle.
Bella finished and Ellen just stared. She couldn´t believe something like that could happen. Bella touched Ellen´s hand: „ Too many things to get, right?"
Ellen just nodded: „ You must be really strong woman to go through this all…..I admire you, Bella….."
Bella hugged her:" Elly, come on, you are too…you had to fight with your ex husband, and you did win too….."
Ellen sobbed: „ I know….but I don´t have any idea what I would do if somebody wanted to hurt my daughter…"
Bella tapped her shoulder lightly: „ You would fight….as every mother would…."
Ellen began sobbing and Bella tried to understand her. It was hard to believe and Ellen as the mother could understand how she must have felt. Ellen cried silently: „ I really don´t know…"
Bella wiped her tears with a napkin: „ Elly, truly, you don´t have to worry…you have Carlisle, you have us all, and we won´t allow anything to happen to you, to Patty and the unborn baby. You don´t have to worry…."
Ellen hugged her: „ I know….Thank you Bella….."
Bella nodded: „ You´re welcome, Elly….you can come to me anytime…if you wish to talk…"
„Okay…."
