Hi everyone,
I apologise for the smaller break...
in the middle of the week I got an idea for a new story and I couldn´t make myself stop untill I wrote a few chapters ahead...
It´s called Beautiful surprise and it deals with the idea of time travelling...
another invitation goes to my Mirrors story that is about the arranged marriage issue...which I could never do but I wanted to try it in a story...
They are all Carlisle/Edward/OC stories so if you like this one, I hope you will enjoy also the other ones...I will be very delighted if you read them too... they are accessible through my profile :-))), I will be very glad if you let me know...
Anyway, I wish you nice weekend and I will try to update sooner next time than after a week...
Another question goes to the ones who like to read my stories, I decided to try searching for a good Beta, would there be anyone to check my grammar mistakes?...?
Ch 62
Ellen was glad that at least with Carlisle they had the chance to explain things. She felt so sorry because Jasper and Alice took this really personally. She didn´t mean to insult anyone. She was just scared when Carlisle shouted that everyone has to get out. It scared her. That is the truth. But she didn´t mean to throw anyone out of the house, she was just afraid because of her daughter. From the whole family only Carlisle, Edward and Bella stayed in the Cullen house now. Rosalie and Emmett, no matter how much they loved Ellen and Patty, wanted to support their siblings and decided to do some travelling with them for some time.
Carlisle was talking them on the phone and he didn´t look pleased. He tried to explain Ellen´s view but it didn´t matter. It wasn´t exactly connected with Ellen. Jasper felt they needed some time to be alone and Alice stayed with him of course. They wanted to spend some time travelling and Alice tried to explain his point of view to Carlisle. She hoped after few weeks Jasper will miss home but now they were just in the beginning. Before she hang up she said:
"Please, tell Ellen that she shouldn´t feel guilty. This would have happened anyways. We needed some kind of break. We are not angry with her…..Rose and Emmett send her and Patty kisses too… I hope we will be back soon…"
He hang up and returned back to Ellen. Edward and Bella were sitting on the opposite sofa listening to every word. Ellen asked : "What did they say?...I wish I had a chance to apologise…." Edward replied when Carlisle returned to Ellen´s seat:
" It wouldn´t help…..Jasper needed some fresh air, they just waited for the good opportunity….it´s been too much on him…he still takes it as his personal responsibility what happened some years ago….. when we left Bella…" Ellen nodded and looked at her fingers. Carlisle hugged her: "Ellie, give them some time….they will come back to us…..they always do…" Edward supported him: "Sure, from time to time, each of us needs the break….."
She had almost tears in her eyes. She still hoped she would be able to apologise to them all but they didn´t even give her a chance. From that night, they haven´t arrived home…. Then they called they were going abroad to travel all around the world. Carlisle could feel her sadness and he moved her closer. She needed this reassurance.
She was so happy that he accepted everything she just said. Everything was really much easier when he was with her. She needed him more than ever. She felt she made a terrible mess but the three Cullens tried to persuade her that it would be fine.
On sunday evening she was sitting and playing with Patty. They tried to draw a princess on the paper. Ellen was not so good at this and Carlisle offered his help. Patricia watched him: "Are you sure you can do it, dad?" She had doubts about his drawing abilities. He never drew anything to her. What was her surprise when the result was more than good. The princess truly looked believable. Patty screamed: "Daaad….it´s lovely….thank you…I didn´t know you could draw so well?"
He grinned: "Well, me neither…." Edward was passing through the room and grinned: "Maybe you should start working as a painter, Carlisle…." The named one smiled back and then turned to Patty: "Would you like me to try another princess?"
She laughed: „ Yeah, draw me a picture of a Sleeping Beauty…..Aurora…please…."
He replied: "Aurora? Which princess is that?" Patty frowned: " Dad, don´t tell me you don´t know the fairy tale…."
He shrugged: "You will have to remind me, young lady…" she laughed: "It was the princess who fell asleep for so long….." she began explaining him the fairy tale and he watched her with interest. She was such a smart girl. Well now also his smart girl. Of course he knew the story by heart, he just wanted her to tell it. And she loved to instruct him properly. After she finished, he began with the picture. Even the second attempt was successful and Patricia loved it.
In the evening when Patty fell asleep, he was sitting next to Ellen who was just finishing the dinner: „Are you looking forward to work tomorrow?" She laughed: "Yeah, truly I am…"
He kissed her ear and whispered: "I am just going to miss my sweetest receptionist…."
She caressed his cheek: "You will have Denise back….."
He nodded: "You´re right, but she is not you… I loved when you were with me all the time…."
She kissed him: "You have to hold on till June, I am afraid I won´t be able to teach when I should have the baby during the summer months…" He asked: " When will you have the appointment for the ultra sound?"
She replied immediately: "In few days, right after work, they want to do some tests too…"
He began explaining the details of the procedure and she listened. But he could see her eyes closing. He stopped and asked: "Are you tired?" She nodded: "Yeah, kind of yes…..it returns back again…I would sleep the whole day…"
He accompanied her to her room and kissed her: "Well, good night, I will join you later…." She agreed and left to the room to have shower and then get to bed.
When she came out of the shower, he was sitting on the bed, leaning against the headboard: "I wanted to give you a long good night kiss…." She grinned and he moved closer to kiss her again. She hugged him and moved to lay on his hand and snuggled closer to his chest. She loved this position so much
She was woken up by an amazing kiss and tender words: "Honey, wake up, it´s already morning….." She opened her eyes: "Is it?" He kissed her cheek:"Yeah, you should wake up…..I will make you breakfast, go wake Patty…."
She smiled: "Great…thanks…"
She went in the shower and then back to her room. She headed to Patty who was already excited that mum would be already going to school again. They came downstairs in few minutes and from the first floor they could smell the amazing scent of the pancakes. Patty ran downstairs: "Dad…why didn´t you wake me up? I would help you…"
He kissed her and took her in his arms: "I will wake you up on saturday, ok? Today you are going again with your mum after so long…..so you need to be on time…"
Patty mumbled something but took the prepared plate and began eating. Carlisle handed a plate to Ellen and asked:
"Are you sure you would be able to drive?"
She smiled: "Absolutely….I am looking forward to drive that amazing car…I didn´t have too many chances to do that…." That caused a very beautiful expression of the face. He was really so glad that she liked the car.
When they finished the meal, he handed them the prepared lunch and kissed them good bye. Ellen drove the car and could see Carlisle standing in front of the house waiting patiently when they leave.
Ellen was the first one in the classroom. The kids began walking in and each of them headed to greet her. She was so incredibly happy to be back with all the children from her class. When the class began she started with the attendance and then began asking question about the stuff they learned when she was away.
During the break she checked the phone where she could read the text message from Carlisle:
"I know you have only the first lesson but I already miss you…"
Then he sent another one:
"I went outside for a snack and I was thinking what I would buy for you…..I am going crazy…" She couldn´t help but laughed.
But the third one got her completely: "I almost asked the nurse where you went….. I miss you so bad….why can´t you work here?...I would be able to fire Denise if you were the replacement…..I love you so much….."
She couldn´t help but laughing. He was so cute, so loving. She loved this side of his personality. She replied him back explaining how the lessons went.
Then she had to return back to the class because the bell began ringing.
After the class she got an email from her father. She was glad to hear from him. She read through it and was so nicely surprised when she read the lines:
"…..I am so glad you are happy again. And the news about a new partner of yours is wonderful. Patricia must be definitely pleased to have him as her father. I believe she loves him completely if he does everything for her. Lucy is going to business journey next week. I was thinking….. I know there are school holidays… spring break or something…. Would you like to come for few days and please the old man? I would so much love to see both of you…"
She was reading and by the time she finished the letter, she had tears in her eyes. It was all so sudden. She didn´t expect this. She hasn´t seen dad for more than two years. They didn´t get on very well with his present wife Lucy and she didn´t want to intrude. Therefore they kept the email connection.
But despite that she was incredibly happy. She replied him and thanked for the invitation. She promised to let him know by the end of the week. She wanted to consult this all with Carlisle. She was sure he wouldn´t be against but she wanted to tell him about that.
