The Differences Between Us Make Us Special

Chapter 15: Back in Forks.

Edward and Isabella we impatiently waiting for their flight to be called. They couldn’t wait to get back to Forks and hear all the things that Carlisle had found out for them. It seems since the last letter from Forks time as been moving slowly. They were interested in meeting both Emmett and Rosalie. They had talked to them over the phone several times in the passing months, finding they had a lot in common. Rosalie and Isabella both share a love for cars, and writing. Emmett and Edward shared their loves of law enforcement and medicine.

Flight 117 for Seattle Washington is now boarding at gate 12

Edward grabbed his and Isabella’s bags and stood waiting for her to gather her other things. They rushed to gate 12. After putting their carry-ons into the overhead compartments they settled into their seats and awaited take off. The seatbelt light flashed on and the stewardess spoke over the intercom.

Thank you for flying Seattle Air. We hope your flight is pleasant. If you could please place your trays and seats in the upright position we can begin our flight. The exits are located at the rear and front of the plane. Our Captain today is Mr. Richard Conway. I’m your attendant Maggie. If you need anything during our flight please feel free to flag me down. Again I thank you for flying with us, we will be taking off momentarily.

Soon the plane was shuttling down the runway. Isabella clenched tightly onto the arms of her seat. She was never good with the take-off or landings. Edward reached over and clasped her hand tightly in his.

“Bella everything will be fine.”

“I know that, I just don’t like the feelings it gives me.”

“It’ll be over soon.”

Isabella settle back into her seat and closed her eyes. Soon she was asleep. Edward sat and watched his sister as she sleep peacefully beside him. He wonder if Isabella was right when she said that things were gonna change. He just hoped that nothing between them would change.

(E&B)

Granma and Grandpa Masen were waiting for Edward and Isabella at the arrivals gate in Seattle. It was wonderful to have Edward and Isabella stay with them for the summers. They feel like they have missed so much not having ever known the children before a couple of years ago. They knew that they were beyond special.

Flight 117 From Chicago is now landing.

Finally was all they thought.

They watched as all the passengers disembarked the plane. Last but not least Edward and Isabella stepped into their line of sight.

“Edward, Isabella.” Granma called.

Both teenagers looked toward the voice calling them. A smile spreading across all four faces. Isabella ran to hug her grandparents. Even though they wrote often and called weekly she missed them dearly. Edward grabbed the bags and walked toward them shaking his head at his sister’s antics.

“You know Isabella, it’s not like you didn’t see them just three weeks ago at my party.” Edward said for everyone to hear.

Isabella just turned and stuck her tongue out at him. He just shook his head and hugged Granma and shook Grandpa Masen’s hand.

“It’s good to see you both” Granma gushed. “You have both grown up so fast. You look wonderful.”

“You to Granma.” Edward said while Isabella nodded.

“Thank you both. Now let’s get you home, you must be famished.”

“That sounds wonderful.”

Edward no more then finished the sentence when Isabella’s stomach growled. The four laughed and headed to the car. Before long they were pulling up to the now familiar farm house. As Edward and Isabella stepped out of the car they both got the feeling of being watched. Turning to look toward the Cullen house they could see two figures standing in the shadows under the trees. They turned toward each other and nodded. Having one of their famous silent conversations. They grabbed their bags and headed into the house.

“After settling in come to the kitchen, dinner will be done shortly.” Granma called as Edward and Isabella headed upstairs to their rooms.

Upon entering his room Edward noticed a note waiting for him on his bed. He didn’t think Granma or Grandpa would have put it there. As he got closer he could smell a sweet sent surrounding his bed. Knowing what they know, he knew it had to be a vampire. He sat his bag down next to his bed and picked up the letter. Settling down he opened it.

Dear Edward,

Glad to see you have returned. We have missed you and Isabella both. Emmett has been driving me insane asking when you were going to arrive. If you noticed he and Rosalie were probably stalking your grandparent’s house when you arrived. They are simply obnoxious about meeting you both. Please don’t be angry with them they are just curious. It’s not often we make friends outside the family. I hope to see you soon and I hope you both get settled in okay.

Your Friend,

Carlisle.

Wow. Edward wasn’t sure what to make of the letter. At least now he knows the presence in the woods isn’t a threat to him or Isabella. He will have to give them a call after dinner and let them know that everything is okay.

In the room next door to Edward’s, Isabella noticed a similar note on her bed. Placing her things in their proper places she finished quickly with her unpacking and sat at her desk to read the letter.

Darling Isabella,

I have a feeling that Edward has already read his letter from Carlisle. I thought I would be nice if this time I got to write to you. Emmett and Rosalie are overly excited for you to be here. I have a feeling they are outside your home right now lurking in the woods. We are extremely happy to have you back here in Forks. I hope you can come visit us soon. I won’t keep you long seeing as how you just arrived. Please give Edward my love and come see us when you can.

Your’s Truly,

Esmé

“Eddie”

“Yes Bella?”

“Did you get a letter too?”

“Yes, what did your say?”

“I asked you first.”

“It was just Carlisle saying that he is happy that we are back and hopes that his stalker children didn’t scare us.” Edward chuckled mentally to his sister.

“Yeah Esme said the same thing except she hopes we can come see her soon.”

“I plan on calling them after dinner. So I will need you there with me anyway okay.”

“Sure that sounds great. So those two in the woods were Emmett and Rosalie?”

“Carlisle is sure of it.” Edward laughed again.

“Yeah Esme said basically the same. Except she said they were lurking.”

“Carlisle called them stalkers.” Edward and Isabella fell into a fit of giggles.

“Edward, Isabella. Dinner is ready” Granma called from down stairs.

“Come Bella let’s get some grub and call the wardens so they can reign in their inmates.”

“Okay.”

Edward and Isabella headed down stairs to the kitchen. The table was already set with all the food placed on it already. They all sat down and began to eat. It wasn’t long until Grandpa Masen was leaning back and rubbing his stomach.

“That was delicious.” Grandpa moaned loudly.

“You’re welcome dear.” Granma replied.

“Yes Granma that was really good.” Edward spoke for both him and Isabella.

“You’re both welcome.”

“Granma is it okay if we use your phone. We promised Dr. Cullen we would call him once we were settled in. Two of his children are home for the summer and would like to meet us?”

“Sure Edward go ahead. Give them my best.”

“Thank you.”

Edward and Isabella left the kitchen and headed toward Grandpa Masen’s study so they could have some privacy. It’s not like they expected their grandparents to ease drop, it just gave them a chance to hear them before they got to the door. Once in the room they sat down at the desk and picked up the phone. Dialing the number they waited while it rang.

“Hello Cullen Residence.”

“Esmé, its Edward and Isabella.”

“Oh Hello dears, I take it you are all settled in.”

“Yes we are. Thank you for the note you left, and Granma sends her best.”

“Well your very welcome Isabella, and tell her I said the same to her.”

Esmé didn’t need to be a mind reader to know it was Isabella who thought that.

“You’re getting good at that Esmé.”

“Well getting to know you children over the last two years helped in telling your personalities. I don’t see you thanking anyone for writing you a note.” Esmé chuckled.

“Your right I wouldn’t. I prefer phone calls or face to face communications.”

“I knew that. So when are you coming to see us?”

“Maybe tomorrow. Grandpa and Granma have to work so we will be fending for ourselves.”

“Well then I insist you come over.”

“This wouldn’t be a polite way of telling us to come over so Emmett shuts up and leaves you alone would it?” Edward asked chuckling lightly.

“Well I guess it could be taken that way.”

Edward could hear laughter in the background. Then Carlisle’s voice.

“No that is the way you meant it. Emmett is driving us crazy.”

“Okay so yeah it is. Please could you come shut him up???”

“Why Esmé all you had to do was ask.”

Edward looked to Isabella and saw the amusement dancing in her eyes.

“Okay Esmé we will be over in the morning once Granma and Grandpa leave for work. So we will see you all tomorrow but for now I think Isabella and I should get some rest.” Edward said it rather loudly knowing that if Emmett and Rosalie were close that they would hear and go home.

“I take it they are still lurking outside?”

“Not sure but I figured it couldn’t hurt.”

“Your right. I will let you go so you can get your rest. I know you had a long day.”

“Yes and good night Esmé, Carlisle.”

“Good night children” Esmé and Carlisle called together over the phone.

Edward and Isabella hung up the phone and went to say good night to Granma and Grandpa.

“You children off to bed.”

“Yes we came to say good night and to let you know that we will be going over to the Cullen’s tomorrow while you are both at work, and Mrs. Cullen sends her best.”

“Well that is lovely. I hope you won’t be a bother.”

“No actually Dr. and Mrs. Cullen are actually really happy we could come over. Apparently their son Emmett is driving them mad asking about when we are gonna come over.”

“Well it’s good to know you will get to meet someone your own age.”

“Yes thank you Granma.”

“You’re welcome. Now go get some rest.”

“We will. Good night Granma.”

Edward and Isabella gave hugs and kisses to their Grandparents before heading up to bed. What a long day it has been. They are both happy to be back in Forks and can’t wait to meet their newest friends.
