Remembering Her – Chapter 7

January 27, 2012 / naelany / 0 Comments

I walk through our old neighborhood, taking in all the changes since we moved away. Pausing in front of our old house, I sigh and put my hands in my pockets, staring.

“A little to the left, dear,” Esme directs me as I try to hang our wedding picture on the wall. When she’s finally satisfied, and the frame’s hung in place, I step up to her. I kiss her sweetly as I wrap her in my arms. “Are you glad to be back, love?” I ask, quietly.Biting her lip, she nods. “Yes. I think… I think I need to be here now. Closer to my family. At least for a while. It was just…”

I nod, sighing. “I know. I understand, sweetheart. As long as you’re happy, I don’t care where we are.”

“I know. I love you.”

I thank Alice again on my way out the door. She merely nods, smiling sadly. There’s no time for talk, as there are too many customers that require her attention.

Seeing a woman with a stroller trying to get in, I hurry to open the door for her, stepping aside to allow her to enter before I make my way outside. My heart aches at the sight of the beautiful little girl who smiles up at me with dimpled cheeks and a giggle, her hands making gimme moves.

Esme clutches me tightly as the doctor finishes delivering the news. Our baby boy didn’t make it. His little heart failed, despite their best efforts to save him.

They leave us in peace for a while as we absorb the news and attempt to comfort each other. Esme’s in shock from grief, and I’m not faring much better, myself.

She asks to see him one last time. I can’t deny her. Minutes later they bring us his body. Esme starts crying as she cradles him in her arms. I wrap mine around them both, pressing my lips against her hair as I try to keep my composure, wanting to be strong for her. I can’t keep the tears at bay, however, when I hear her whisper, “My little Ambrose.” Immortal. And I know that, in a way, he will be.

Nursing my second cup of coffee, I start as Alice puts a plate of apple pie under my nose with a, “On the house,” and a pat on my shoulder.

“Thank you,” I murmur, knowing it’s futile to argue with her.

Alice nods, then disappears back behind the counter to help other customers. I dutifully begin eating my slice of pie, though the memories that keep assaulting me make it difficult to swallow at times.

Greeted by the smell of warm apple pie, I smile as I walk through the door and call out,”Esme? I’m home!”

“In the kitchen!” comes the predictable reply. Continue reading

Remembering Her – Chapter 4

As I stare out the window, I smile at the carriage driving past. I can just see the young couple in the back, him in a black tuxedo and her in what I’m sure is a very pretty white dress.

“I, Carlisle, do swear to be your loving husband. To have and to hold. For rich or for poor. In sickness, and in health. ‘Til death do us part.”

Esme’s smile is brilliant, her voice steady despite the tears that stream down her cheeks. She’s never looked more beautiful to me then in this moment.”I, Esme, do swear to be your loving wife. To have and to hold. For rich or for poor. In sickness, and in health. ‘Til death do us part.”

“By the power vested in me, I declare you husband and wife.” Reverend Greene turns to me with a smile and says, “You may now kiss the bride.”

Very carefully, I cup Esme’s face in my hands as I lean down to kiss her.

With a sigh, I get up to walk to the coffee shop, intending to warm up a little before heading back to the hospital. I’m stalling for time, but I can’t help myself.

The bell jingles as I open the door to the shop, warm air blasting in my face along with the aroma of coffee and freshly baked apple pie.

Alice smiles as I step up to the counter, though her eyes are sad as she takes in the look on my face. She reaches over the counter, covering my hand with hers as she asks quietly, “Your usual, today, Mr. Cullen?”

I nod.

“Oh, come on, Carlisle, please?” Esme cajoles, smiling like she’s already won, which she has, of course.

Rolling my eyes, I clasp her hand and lead the way into the coffee shop. Esme’s practically giddy as she orders us both an eggnog latte as well as pieces of both pumpkin pie and eggnog cheesecake.

I can’t begrudge her this, since we won’t be here for Thanksgiving, and it’s not likely we’ll be back next year, either. So, I give her the chance for one last taste of home, of her favorite treats during the holiday season.

Anything to make her smile like that some more. As much as we’re both looking forward to the move to England, I know it won’t be easy for her to be so far from her family.

I gaze at the young couple walking along the path on the other side of the water, holding hands. I can’t hear them, but I imagine what they’re talking about. Remembering back to when Esme and I would walk that same path.

“Carlisle,” Esme says quietly. “I know you have to go back to England soon. I was thinking… how would you feel about me joining you?”Pulling her to a stop, I turn to face her. I’m stunned; my heart beats faster with hope and anticipation. I’d like nothing better than to spend more time with Esme, but I’ve been too afraid to ask. It seems like such an immense sacrifice for her to make, given the short amount of time we’ve known each other.

“Are you sure? I mean… I’d love for you to… I love you, Esme.”

She stands on her tip-toes and kisses me, murmuring happily against my lips, “I love you, too, Carlisle. And yes, I’m sure.”

A/N: The wonderful @Christag_banner put this banner up for adoption. She’d never really made anything Esme/Carlisle before, but simply had to make this after seeing the images. In turn, as soon as I saw it, Carlisle hit me over the head with their story. I couldn’t not write it, so thank you to @Christag_banner for letting me use it.

That said, the format for this is slightly different than what you’re used to from me. The chapters are very short, and the story is all done. I’ll be posting daily for the next ten days.

Summary: Life as Carlisle knows it has taken an unexpected turn. He walks down memory lane as he heads toward an inevitable decision.

Sitting on the bench overlooking the pond, I smile, despite the sadness that still overwhelms me every day. This is where we met, some fifteen years ago now. Continue reading

A/N: Happy birthday, RachelCullen77! Hope you have a fantastic day.

Thanks to SorceressCirce for beta’ing.

As ever, I do not own Twilight – it owns me.

ooOoo

As far back as I can remember, I’ve watched the stars whenever they come out from behind the constant cloud cover.

Every time, I’ve wished for pretty much the same thing: to find someone to love for my very own. Someone who won’t disappear or walk away.

Tonight’s no different. I sigh wistfully as I murmur my wish into the great beyond. Doubting I’ll ever get an answer.

I close my eyes.

“Bella? Are you in here?”

Alice’s voice has my heart racing – it always does.

I blush as I answer.

She smiles at me. “I’ve been looking for you.”

In Public, I Call Her Sister – chapter 50

Everything’s packed, the others are ready to go. They’ve allowed me a few minutes so I can take care of this one last thing before we leave Rochester forever.

Standing outside her house, I gaze into the living room. My dead heart breaks at the sight of Vera, huddled in her rocker with Henry squirming and whimpering in her lap.

She’s crying as she reads my letter. My goodbye.

The best I can give her is the belief that I could not go through with my wedding and ran away, never to return.

“I’ll love you, Vera. Always,” I whisper.

A/N: Alas, we have reached the end of Rose’s story. I’m actually quite sad to mark this as complete.

Thank you, for coming on this ride with me. I hope that reading this has given you a slightly different perspective on Rosalie.

To preempt any questions, Rose’s story from here out is canon. I’ve just given a bit of a twist to the reason behind Rose being Rose in the books.

I do not expect to revisit this story.

Thank you, once again, to Evieeden for the prompt, the banner, and the bunny, as well as beta services.

In Public, I Call Her Sister – chapter 49

Every scream, every howl of agony that escapes him as I mutilate his body sends thrills down my spine.

He begs for his life, for this to all just be a nightmare he can wake up from.

I relish telling him in detail how that will never happen. Reminding him of his promise to me, I assure him, “You will never harm another again.”

Vera’s safe. Untouched by this filth. That much, Edward had done – from the moment he’d lifted the words out of my mind, he’d said. I would forever be grateful.

I delight in Royce’s final scream.
