Carlisle's Pov
Next Day

After discussing all of last night regarding Ms. D, we have come to the conclusion that she maybe a Fai. Luis says that maybe the only way, seeing as there are cooking Fais who have to power to make anyone We'll have to figure out how to approach her regarding this.

I drive into the car park of the hospital, the guard cautioning me over to the reserved spot they had labeled for me. Alice and Rosalie had me searching and planning all night as well for the best date idea for Gwen.

I'm lucky we don't require sleep because I would most definitely have bags under my eyes.

Walking into Jashville Medical,I take in the classy interior of the place. Jashville continues to exceed my expectations.
I start scanning the area, looking for the Chief, who by the way is supposed to meet me here in the lobby. My eyes finally catch sight of a middle age man, waving at me as he comes over.

JashVille Medical

"Hello Dr. Cullen, so sorry for being late. I am David Gilmore, Chief of Surgery. It is a pleasure having such an extemed doctor here with us at Jashville Medical." He introduces upon reaching me,his hand extended.

"The pleasure is mines Mr. Gilmore." I reply, shaking his hand. He leads the way through the lobby, stopping every now and again to make brief introductions to the doctors and nurses we passed.

"Here at J.M our priority is to make sure our patients have the utmost care. We have recently been in the process of upgrading most of our departments, thanks to the generous donations from our leading families. Our greatest achievement being our new Cardiology ward." He says as we walk towards the elevator.
"You were spoken of very highly by your previous Chief. The best doctor he ever had. He said as the youth say it, you know your stuff." I chuckle at his joke.

"Well..when you love what you do, you do it well."

"Absolutely right." He agrees.

When we finally arrived at his office, we meet a woman already there waiting.

Chief's Office

"Ahh, Zelma hope you weren't waiting to long." David says.

"No sir. Just arrived actually." She replied.

"This is Zelma, she is the Head GP. She is basically who you will be reporting to." He tells me. I walk up to her, shaking her hand.

"It is a pleasure to finally meet you Dr. Cullen. I look forward to working with you." She returns my hand shake, before we both sat down.

"Okay so we have some-"

Beep Beep!
Beep Beep!
Mr. Gilmore pulls out his pager, checking it.
"Oh I do apologise Dr. Cullen." He says getting up from his chair.
"Seems I'm needed urgently. Zel, can you show him his station? I'll do the formal introduction to all staff after this meeting." She nods.

"I do apologize again Dr. Cullen, and welcome to Jashville Medical. I look forward to working with you." He says, coming to shake my hand again.

"Keep him away from the vultures eh Zel." He tells her, patting my back, leaving.

"Well then, shall we?" She motions towards the door. I hold the door open for her, letting her walk out before me.

"Thank you. Now fair warning Dr. Cullen, we have been anticipating your arrival since we heard that you were coming. So I apologize in advance for their behavior."

"Does this have to do with the vultures Mr. Gilmore was talking about?" I ask her chuckling.

"Arrr yes indeed. When the news came that you were going to work here, an alarming amount of "colds and flu like symptoms" started coming in." She says, shaking her head.
"Handsome, blonde and single. You're a triple threat Dr. Cullen. The amount of women I've seen in the past few days, you would think we were running a women's hospital." she continued, making me laugh.

Gwen's POV

"Gwen!! Oh you're up. Henry and Aidie are already downstairs. Get up and come down." Ms. D says walking back out.

I stare after her, a Suleman smile on my face. I has another dream about my mom. It doesn't happen regularly like when I was younger.

Ms. D sometimes reminds me of her. The cheerful spirit. They would of gotten on well with each other.
Sighs...I wonder where she is. She would of loved Henry and Aiden.

FLASHBACK
Saturday 11th June 1976

I sat in my room, listening to music. It's been two years since we moved to Califorina and I love it here. After the incident at school, mom explained everything to me, and we immediately moved to California.

Turns out my mom is not my biological and that her name is not Tessa Santo but Honey Willows. I honestly prefer Honey over Tessa.
As I was saying, she is a Fai, where as I am an El. There were some bad people who were after me and my birth mother, so to protect me she asked Honey to take care of me for her. And the reason why we had to move was because when I nearly cause a hurricane in Memphis, it could have lead the men straight to me if we had stayed.

My doors suddenly bursts open, causing me to jump.

"Darla! Get your stuff."

"Mom what's wrong? Why are you packing?" I asked concerned.

"We need to leave right now."

"But Mom-"

"Honey, remember why we had to move?" She says,frantically still packing.

"Yes I remember, I mean I can't forget it. But what's going on? Mom stop!" I shout,holding her in place. Tears immediately start falling from her eyes.

"Mom what's going on?" My eyes tearing up as well.

"You're not safe here with me."

"What do you mean Mom?You-"

"Someone has put out a bounty for me. They are trying to get me, to get you.I have already contacted a friend of mines. You're going to stay with him for awhile." She tells me wiping away the tears that are now falling down my face.

"But I- I can't leave you. I can't. Please.. it's better if we stay together. It's better." Pulling me into a hug, we cried in each others arms. So that's why she has been moving so secretive and cautious recently.

"I'm sorry hun but you can't stay with me. Amun and his family are vampires,so you will be very much safe."

"Vampires!! Mom seriously!! Are you sure I'm safer with vampires?" I say, looking at her like she's crazy.

"Darla, you know I would never let you stay with them if you weren't going to be safe. And Amun is the oldest vampire alive.He knows how to control his thirst and so does the rest of his family.

Plus Benjamin, Amun's son can control the elements. They will train you on how to use and control your powers a lot better than I have." She says handing me a packed bag full of my essential items.

"Tia will take you shopping for more clothes, so don't worry about that."she adds.

"What time does our flight leave?" I ask.

"Now."

"Now?Wha-"

I wasn't even able to finish when Mom walked up to me, touching my hand, a bright light surrounds us, nearly blinding me. I feel my foot touch the ground again, losing my balance.

What in the...

After coming back to my senses, I looked around realizing that we were in a very palace like house, with four very... very red eyed vanpires standing right in front of us,

"How did you? Where are we?"

"Eygpt." My mom says, like it's nothing.

"It would be nice to receive a warning before you decided to, what.. teleport us halfway across the world!!Don't every do that again." I say pointing at her.

"No promises." She chuckles. She leads me closer to the vampire clan.

Oh what if they eat me.

"Hello Amun. Thank you all for allowing her to stay with you." She says cutting me off.

"It is not problem. Anything for a good friend." The Amun guy says looking me up and down, so I looked him back up and down. The boy next to him begins to laugh.

"Hi Darla,I'm Benjamin. Why don't I show you around." He says stretching out his hand to me. Hestating, I look to my mom, and she nods her head telling me to go. Taking his hand,we go to walk off but I stop abruptly, turning back to my mom.

"Don't leave without saying goodbye." I tell her. She smiles at me, agreeing. Turning back around, Benjamin leads me through the very beautiful ancient house.

"Is your father always soo....serious." I ask as we finally sit down in the living room.

"Amun is Amun. He's been alive longer than any of us and has seen many things. I guess it's natural for him to be so...serious, as you put it." He replies.

"Hm...reasonable. I mean with how horrible the world is sometimes, I can only imagine what living through all those historical events were like."

"They were dreadful." I look behind us, Amun, his wife Kedi, as Benjamin told me her name was, and my mom.

"World War 2 was very ugly. However there were some good times as well. It all depends on your perspective of it. If you place all your focus on the bad, you could miss what was right in front of you." He says, His wife standing to his left and my mom to his right.

How did she even meet these people?

"Are you leaving now?" She nods.

"I have to. You'll be safe here with Amun." I look down at my hands.
"Now Darla..." She comes to stoop down in front of me.
" I'll keep in contact, however you won't be able to contact me for awhile."

"What? Why?!"

"It's for your safety. When I am in a clear, I will reach out to Amun. However, I will not be in constant contact with you. If I could keep you with me I would, but it is better of the both of us remain apart, okay?" She says taking my hands in hers, bringing it up to her mouth kissing them.

"Stay safe....please." I say, a tear falling from my eye.

"Always." She pulls me into a hug. Kissing my head. Bidding the others farewell, pausing at Amun alittle longer than the others.

Will I ever see her again?

Walking back over to me she takes my right hand in hers.
"We'll see each other again Darla. I promise you." She tells me, before walking off, disappearing.

End of Flashback

I never saw her again after that. She contacted us a few times for about 2 years. Notifying us that she was okay and safe, before we never heard from her again.

I stayed with Amun for about 24 years, before moving to Bakewell. Which by the way was not an easy task to do. Amun is very hard man to convince. Kedi however did help me, and he finally allowed me to go. With conditions of course.

Flashback

"Hey Amun?" I say walking into his office. I've been asking Amun for about 9 months now to let me travel, but the man just won't give in.

"I already said no Darla." He says not even looking up from his book.

"Come on Amun. Please?"

"No Darla. I'm not letting you leave. You've been safe here, let's keep it that way."

"Honestly Amun.I'm tired of watching the 4 of you being all lovey dovey and I'm here all by myself. I've been coped up here for 24 years now. I want to see the world, fall in love. There hasn't been any word of danger and I won't be looking for any either. It's not like I'm going to broadcast to the world who I am. I'll be careful. I'll keep a low profile and if anything seems out of the ordinary, I'll take the first plane back here." He listens on, allowing me to speak.

"Your safety is more important to me Darla. You know that."

"I know, but I'll be safe. I'm 42 years old. I'll be safe." He narrows his eyes at me.

"Let her go Amun." Kedi says entering the office.

"Kedi-"

"Of course, we'll pick where she goes and she's not allowed to stay longer than 4 years in one place. And she's to call us every 2 weeks the first 2 years, then every 2 months, the next. She's not to go longer than one year without a call, or we are coming get you. And as you promised, if anything is out the ordinary,you'll come home right?" She says standing next to him.

"Yes!! Oh yess!! I promise Kedi, I will." I say jumping up and down. We both look to Amun, who stared at me. Kedi was never one to speak up when I first arrived here, but after a good conversation between Amun and I, he finally lightened up a bit and they have honestly become a lot more closer.

"Please Amun? I'm not going if you don't allow me to." I pout.

Sighing he gets up from his chair coming to me.

"Els, age slower you know this. Despite the aging of the calender years Darla, you are 21 years old. I feel a sense of responsiblity to make sure you are safe."

He let's go of my hand, walking back to his desk, sitting down.

"Fine. I'll let you go." I go to squeal but he hold his hand up.
"But! Give me some time to find a place where you can go to, that we both agree on. Okay?"

"Thank you Amun!!!" I shout running to him, hugging him.

End of Flashback.

"Gwen!!! I'm not gonna call you again!!!" Ms. D's shouts snapping me out of my thoughts.

Freshening up, I head downstairs to the kitchen. Ms. D sat in the chair next to Aiden's highchair feeding him. Henry opposite of them and yes, his nintendo is out.

I know some people may have a problem with how much he plays games, but honestly I'm not worried. Henry's a lot more mature for his age, than you think. Which I find weird sometimes. He makes good grades in school, knows when to take a break and how to prioritize his time.

There's a time and place for everything, and don't be fooled for one second and think He's not paying attention. He's fully aware of everything going on in his surroundings. As he says... He's young, not stupid.

"Morning" I say ruffling Henry's hair, in which he shooed my hand, grumbling out a morning. Ms. D replying back as well.

"Mowning mommy." He says with his mouth full of eggs. I walk over to him, kissing his his cheeks.

I'm being very honest, we practically live by Ms. D. We're only ever over by our actually house one to 2 times a week. Plus Ms.D has basically been asking us for a while now to move in with her. We just haven't yet decided if we will

"Don't talk with food in your mouth baby. Hey Ms. D did Henry tell you he's officially on the football team starting from today?"I ask her, walking over to the stove to get myself some of her Bomb scramble eggs.

"WHAT?!"

"NINTENDO PLAYING HENRY IS ACTUALLY PLAYING SPORTS?!" She shouts in complete shock. Aiden reading the room, does the cutest gasp and puts his hand to cover his mouth.

Like mother, Like son I guess.

"Seriously guys. It's not that big a deal." He says rolling his eyes and biting into his toast.

"Not a big deal? Mark this day down. Put this in the records. Henry's playing sports now. I'm proud of you. Putting down the nintendo and picking up the football. So proud of you." She says walking over and hugging him. Oh the dramatics.

I love it.

"Prowd of you to Henwry" Aiden says joining in with the fake tears. I mean... I couldn't just not join in. Henry looked totally miserable.

"Guys please stop. You're making breakfast awkward." He says pushing Ms. D away from him.

"Do you need shoes? Gear?" I ask him, sobering up from my fake crying.

"Coach is giving me the rundown today and the list of the things I need to get. I'll give it to you when you pick me up later today." I nod.

"Speaking of awkward. A certain Ms. Lady has a date coming up. Did he text you yet?" Ms. D says making me blush.
"Oh she's blushing!"

"Not yet." I reply shyly, eating my eggs.

" I'm sure he's planning something nice. Open wide Aidie!" She says making plane noises to Aidie's mouth.

Edward's POV

School. My least favorite place to be. It's good to be home.

"We're home." I announce as we all enter the living room. Ness sat by the kitchen counter eating a sandwich.

"Hey baby. How was studies today?" Bella ask kissing her head.

"It was good. Aunt Esme said I'm going on to a new grade."

"Already? She just started 7th grade." Jacob says.

"Well she is growing rapidly and even though her age by number, may still be a baby, she has the mind of a middle schooler already. At this rate she may just be doing high school courses soon." Esme informed us.

"Wow, smart Ness." Jacob says ruffling her hair. He sits down on the stool next to her, reaching for one of her sandwiches.

"Eheh no. Aunt made this for me" she tells him hitting away his hand.

"Sharing is caring Ness."

"And caring is not touching my food, Jake."

"When did you become so sassy?"

"She's in her teenage years Jake. Expect it." Esme tells him.

"She's growing so fast."
I look down at Bella, giving her a reassuring smile. Pulling her into a hug.

"She'll be alright." I say kissing the top of her head.

We shift over to the living room, Ness picking up the remote, turning it on and putting on Lilo and Stitch again. Its her 9th time now.

"What did we miss?!" Emmet says, him and Rosalie coming back from their hunt.

"Why are you always so loud Emmett." I hear Rose tell him, but he just disregarded and threw his arm over her shoulder, kissing her cheek. Alice and Jasper came in holding hands whispering to each other.

La la la la

"Why are you la la la-ing Alice?"

"Because I want to Edward." She replies.

"Ms. D's going to invite us for dinner tomorrow?"

"Jasper!" She exclaims,hitting his chest.

"Sorry love. He would of found out anyway." He says taking the back of her hand and kissing it, the small act softening her up.

"Is it only Ms. D?"

"I only saw her. Why?"

"I was wondering if you could see Gwen's future. When I tried to read her mind all I got was the sound of the wind." Everyone looks to me, interested in the conversation.

"Hmm. To think of it...I can't really. It's very vague. Like now, I see her smiling in a field of flowers, but that's it. Aiden is the same thing also.Where as Henry, I see it, but like only after he makes a decision."

"Now this just got weirder. You can eat Ms. D' s food and now this." Jacob comments.

"What about Ms. D?" Emmett asks.

"Oh I can hear hers." Edward says laughing.
"I can see hers too. Like how I saw today."

"Hmm we'll have to ask Car-"

Ding Dong

We all look towards the door.

"Are any of you guys expecting someone?" Esme asks. I sniff the air, scrunched up my nose.

"Smells like dog."
