Forgot To Tell You

Carlisle had left for work at six this morning and the children were just leaving for school. Listening to the sound of the children arguing over what cars they should take I smiled.

"Take the Volvo and the Jeep today, the Porsche and the Convertible tomorrow." I called out quietly.

"Sounds good, thanks Esme." Rosalie replied before I hear several doors slamming. I watched out the window as the two cars raced down the drive, the sound of the engine fading as they got further away from the house.

Turning round I debated what I should do. The house didn't need cleaning, well Rose and Emmett room might but I vowed I was never cleaning in there again after I found a broken pair of fluffy pink handcuffs and book on top 10 sex positions. I had tended to my garden yesterday so the only thing I could think of was to work on the blue prints for a rundown cottage I found in the woods a little while back. I am going to give it to Bella and Edward for Bella's 19th birthday.

Running up stairs I retrieved my blueprints, a pencil and a rubber, darting back down stairs I placed the equipment on the centre island in the kitchen and turned on the stereo in the corner.

Getting really absorbed in my blue prints I never heard anyone enter the house until I felt to large, masculine hands slip round my waist and cool breath whoosed near my ear. I froze and I heard someone chuckle behind me, finally aware of my surroundings I smelt Carlisle, turning round in his arms I looked up to face him.

"Carlisle, what are you doing here?" I questioned him.

"Is there a problem with me wanting to spend time with my wife?" he asked as a mask of mock-offended slipped onto his face.

"Of course not. But you're supposed to be at work saving lives Doctor Cullen, not at home scaring the wife, whom you have eternity with." I countered, grinning.

Carlisle smirked and raised an eyebrow, "But I have eternity to save lives."

"But only one chance to save these certain lives."

"But what if I save their life twice?"

"Some people are just accident prone." I smiled knowing I had won this time. "Now, what is the real reason?"

"I forgot to tell you I love you this morning." Carlisle said softly.

"You ran all the way from work, back home because you forgot to tell me you love me?" I smiled, shaking my head, silly male species.

"Yes." Carlisle replied.

"So tell me now." I smiled.

"I love you." He whispered.

"I love you too." Reaching up on my toes, I placed a gentle kiss on Carlisle's marble lips. Grabbing the broom that was next to me, I swatted Carlisle on the back of the legs, he jumped back startled. "Now get out of my house and back to work!" I laughed.

Carlisle grinned and started to run, I chased him down the drive swatting him with my broom, he turned quickly and stole another kiss before running back toward the hospital. Smiling I walked back up to the house, putting my thoroughly broken broom into the bin.

-LATER THAT DAY-

When the children came home, Alice and Edward were giving me knowing smirks. Emmett asked, "What the hell is going on? Why are they smirking?"

"Language Emmett." I scolded him before answering his question, "Carlisle forgot to tell me he loved me before going to work so he ran home and told me, then I chased him out the house with the broom and broke it."

Emmett stared at me for a moment before he burst out laughing then he became deadly serious, "You're joking right?"

I just shook my head and told him to look in the bin outside, he came back with broom which had been snapped in half.
