Mending Dawn (Twilight Fanfiction)

I'm In Love With You

Bella's P.O.V.

I still couldn't get over the fact that Renee missed Charlie's funeral. She didn't seem bothered that she missed out on the chance to meet her own granddaughter.

I went hunting to try and get rid of the anger I had building up inside of me. No one else but Carlisle would come with me. I guess that was fine. I tried to get last night out of my mind. Why was it that only Carlisle's embrace calmed me down the way it did. Whenever I was upset or anything, usually Edward's arms made everything better. But not this time. It was Carlisle's that calmed me down.

Maybe it was the fact that I needed the love of a father? Yeah, that was it. That's the reason. But why did I long to be in his embrace again? I was do confused, I just let all my anger out and hit the nearest thing to me, which just happened to be a tree.

Carlisle heard the tree fall and came running. "What happened, Bella?" He asked. I loved the way my name rolled off his lips. What the hell? I should be thinking this way about Edward, not Carlisle. It seemed that my head was just filled with everything about Carlisle. I was comparing everything about Edward to Carlisle.

I looked over and saw something in his eyes. I gasped. I could see love in his eyes. The look that Edward has when he looks at me. But he has Esme. And I have Edward. He can't love me. No, I am imagining things. But why does it hurt when I try to convince myself that he doesn't love me. Unless I love him back. My heart soared that thought. I can't believe it. I am in love with my husband's adoptive father.

Carlisle's P.O.V.

When I saw her about to break down, when her mother didn't seem to care about Bella's father, I just couldn't help myself. I just ran up to her and wrapped my arms around her. She seemed to calm down. Although I am sure that she thought it was Edwards's arms around her. Why did that thought bother me so much? It was almost like I was jealous. I couldn't be. I have Esme. And she has Edward. I couldn't love her. She loved Edward. And that thought bothered me more than it should have.

Me and Bella went hunting because we were the only two who needed it. With Renesmee being half human, we didn't like to take the chance and get too thristy. I heard a tree fall and ran over to where Bella was. She looked like she was on warpath. I wanted to calm her down but I had no idea how. The only thought that ran through my mind was how sexy she looked when she was angry. What the hell? I shouldn't be thinking about her like that. In reality, she was my daughter-in-law for crying out loud. If Edward or Esme knew about my thoughts about Bella they would kill me for sure. Ok maybe Esme wouldn't but I am sure Edward would.

She turned around and gasped when she looked at me. I could see through the reflection in her eyes that my eyes were filled with love. Not the love that a father would have for his daughter but the love a man would have for his mate. 

I wasn't thinking straight when I wrapped my arms around her. I had no control over my body anymore. She looked unsure of what to do, but her hands found their way around my kneck. It was like magnets were pulling us together. I revelled in the closeness that we had at this moment in time. As I pulled out of the embrace I couldn't believe what I was seeing  in her eyes. She had love in her eyes and she was looking at me. I slowly leaned down and she stood on her tip toes. When our lips met it was like I couldn't finally breathe again. It was like she was bringing me to life after so long of being a zombie, just existing, not really actually living. It surprised me more when she deepened the kiss. It was heavenly. 

When we pulled apart, she seemed upset at the distance we had between us. I held her closer to me so that there was no space. It was like she was made to fit in my arms. Perfection. 

"We can't tell them about this. Not yet, we have to slowly distance ourselves from them, so that they don't think it is sudden. I am sure they won't be too happy about this. I just hope that Alice didn't see any of it. If she did I hope to god that she has shielded her thoughts." Bella said. I could see where she was coming from. I knew that Esme wouldn't kill me but she would be very disappointed and hurt if she found out now. I didn't want to cause her that pain. Sure, I love her, but it is nothing in comparison to the love I have for Bella.

"I agree. They would kill us if they found out now. But how long should we wait, they will begin to get suspicious of us." I asked, I was a bit weary because I would have to shield my thoughts while Edward was around. He would tear me limb from limb, put me back together and start again. Probably for all eternity.

"A couple of months. That should give us enough time to get things sorted between us. I know I love Edward, but I don't think it is a romantic love anymore. More as a sibling." She told me. I didn't know what to say. Surely, she wasn't saying that she loved me the way I loved her. "I don't know how to say this, so I am just going to come out and say it. I love you Carlisle." She said. 

I was frozen in shock. I stood there for about an hour when she took my hands in hers. I led her to somewhere where only I knew about. Not even Esme knew about this place. Or Edward. I wanted to share it with Bella though. We ran into the heart of Vancouver, which was just forests. I had a small cottage there and wanted to show Bella. She stood by me just staring at the cottage. 

"Carlisle, it's beautiful" she whispered. I had a feeling she couldn't speak any louder.

I led her into the cottage and led her to the living room. I sat on the sofa, just staring at her while she  looked around the living room in awe. Then my phone rang. It was Alice. 

"Alice?" I asked, wearily. If it was Edward asking where we were I wasn't sure that I would be able to lie to him. I knew it would be easy over the phone but when he asked me in person how would I be able to lie to him when my thoughts would go straight to what really happened?

"Yes, Carlisle it's me."Alice replied. She didn't sound angry, or anything.

"What's wrong." I asked. 

"Nothing's wrong Carlisle. I know about you and Bella, but don't worry. Nothing is going to get out here. I am shielding my thoughts. He doesn't really want to know about what me and Jasper do in our spare time." She said, chuckling slightly. 

"Thank you Alice. How long are we going to wait before we tell them?" I asked. Although we hadn't consciously decided when we were going to tell them, Alice would know.

"In about three weeks." Alice said. "I have to go. I left the house to make this call and they will be wondering where I am." She replied.

"Ok, thanks again, Alice." I said.

"Welcome!" And she hung up.

I hadn't realised that Bella was now sat next to me. I was so engrossed in the phone call with Alice that I was oblivoius to the world.

"I assume you heard every word of that conversation?" I asked. Unsure of what her answer would be.

"Yes, I am glad that Alice isn't going to say anything. Because otherwise we would have had very angry people on our backs." she replied, playing with my hair at the bottom of my neck.

"That is true. Are you sure about us? I don't want you to feel pressured." I asked, I wanted to be with her, but if she didn't want to be with me then I would let her go.

"Of course. Carlisle, I love you and there is nothing in this world that can change that." She replied instantly. Then she leaned in and took possession of my lips.

I couldn't help myself so I picked her up, still kissing her, and sped to the bedroom.

I knew then that I was in love with my son's wife.
