Author's Note 2: HAPPY 24th BIRTHDAY TO ME
Part 8
1663
Bella and Carlisle had been travelling together for years now. Carlisle felt more at home in Bella's TARDIS then with his father in England. They had been travelling for 23 years together. Carlisle had seen many different planets and times. He loved travelling he learned a lot about healing from all the worlds he had visited.
When Carlisle had turned 16 Bella gave him a key to her TARDIS.
Flashback: Arcadia 26th Century
It was Carlisle's 16th birthday. Bella had picked him up from his home.
"Since it is your 16th birthday. Where do you want to go?" Bella asks
"Can we go to an different planet and time Mum?" Carlisle asks
"Of course. I have just the place you will love to see", Bella says typing in the details
Bella's TARDIS launches itself into the vortex. Carlisle smiles he would never get tired of exploring new planets and being in a TARDIS with his adopted mother. This was his only escape from his father. Who was still nasty even after all these years.
"Where are we going?" Carlisle asks excited
"A planet that has rolling fields, glittering still lakes and vast cloudless skies. It is really a beautiful planet", Bella says smiling
The TARDIS lands and Bella puts the TARDIS in the form of a tree.
"I will be back in a minute. I just need to get a couple of things", Bella says walking deeper into her TARDIS
Bella picks up the presents she had gotten for Carlisle and also going to the kitchen and packing a picnic basket.
"Ready to explore my son?" Bella asks coming back into the console room
"You bet!" Carlisle says excitedly
"You do the honours and open the doors", Bella says gesturing to the front doors of the TARDIS
Carlisle goes to the doors and opens they quickly. He looks at the planet amazed by what he saw.
"Wow. This is so beautiful. What is the planet called Mum?" Carlisle asks as they walk
"It is called Arcadia", Bella replies
"What year is this?" Carlisle asks
Bella smiles Carlisle was full of questions and she wouldn't have it any other way.
"It is the 26th Century", Bella replies, "Now we are having a fun day here. I have got a picnic basket and we can go swimming in the lake"
"Cool. Can we go swimming first?" Carlisle asks
"Anything you want", Bella replies putting down the picnic basket and laying out a blanket to sit on
Carlisle dives into the water in was so clean and beautiful. The water was also the perfect temperature. Bella joins him in the water as a pod of dolphins swim towards them.
"Noble dolphins will you do us the honour of letting us ride two of you? It is this youngling's birthday", Bella asks the dolphins
"We will be honoured to bare you both Time Lady. I am Lila", the dolphin says
"What did it say?" Carlisle asks
"She is going to let you ride her. Her name is Lila", Bella replies
After they had ridden the dolphins and dived under the lake to see all the creatures and beautiful planets that grow at the bottom of the late they take a break and decide it is time to eat.
Bella goes into the picnic basket and pulls out a big chocolate cake that had Happy 16th Birthday Carlisle Andrew Cullen. It had gold flecks in it.
"Happy 16th birthday my son. May you have many more. Love you", Bella says, "Now let me light the candles and you can blow them out"
Bella lights the candles and sings happy birthday to Carlisle.
"Blow out the candles and make a wish", Bella says to Carlisle
Carlisle closes his eyes and blows out the candles wishing that there was someway that he could stay with Bella forever.
"Where did you get this Mum? It is amazing", Carlisle says eating a piece of cake
"I got it from New-New-New York. They have amazing cakes", Bella says smiling, "Now time for presents"
"You didn't have to get me anything Mum. Just travelling with you is enough", Carlisle says
"Of course I did. It is custom to give gifts on birthdays. This is the first one", Bella says handing Carlisle a small wrapped box
Carlisle opens it with a small to see a beautiful golden pocket watch.
"It is a Gallifreyan pocket watch. It will automatically change time and date according to where we are in time and space", Bella explains
"Thank you Mum. I will treasure it", Carlisle says studying the watch, "What is this writing?"
"It is your name in Gallifreyan", Bella replies
"Can you teach me Gallifreyan?" Carlisle asks
"Maybe one day. Here is your second present", Bella says handing Carlisle a long present
Carlisle opens it to find a pen. One like the one Bella carried on her.
"Is this a sonic pen?" Carlisle asks excitedly
"Yes. It is all yours. Use it wisely. I am trusting you", Bella says
"I will be careful", Carlisle promises
"Now here is your third and final present. I think you will be surprised", Bella says handing him a small box
Carlisle rips the wrapping paper off and opens the small velvet box to find a gold key on a chain that was gold.
"What is this key for?" Carlisle asks
"It is a key to my TARDIS. Don't lose it. It is only yours", Bella says with a smile
Carlisle's face lights up and flings his arms around Bella and hugs her tight. He had wanted a key to the TARDIS for years now and Bella always said he was not old enough.
"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you", Carlisle says
Bella laughs, "Your welcome. You are old enough. Don't lose it"
"I won't I promise", Carlisle swears putting the key around his neck and securing the chain
They spend the rest of the day exploring Arcadia. Carlisle had the time of his life...
Flashback End
Bella had dropped Carlisle home a few days ago and told him she was going to do some jobs then she would be back. Now she had landed outside of Carlisle's house it had been 5 days since she last seen him. Bella knocks on the door and waits for Carlisle to answer.
"What?!" Carlisle's old father asks
"I am here for Carlisle", Bella replies
"Carlisle is dead. Died on a hunt for vampires", he replies
Bella frowns that can't be true. She would know if Carlisle had been killed. He was her adopted son after all.
"I will leave now", Bella says quickly going back to her TARDIS
Bella types in Carlisle and has her TARDIS lock on him.
"Take me too him", Bella says to her TARDIS
The TARDIS shutters but flies to the place Carlisle was. Landing Bella walks out of her TARDIS and finds herself in the middle of the forest.
"Carlisle?!" Bella calls taking out her pen and scanning the area
She locates Carlisle's sonic and follows the trail. Weaving though the forest she comes to a cave. Suddenly she was smashed into a tree so hard she felt her bones and organs break. She cries out in pain and whatever it was let's her go. Bella looks up from the ground to see Carlisle as pale as paper and with red eyes looking at her pained. Bella realises Carlisle is a vampire just like Jesus said he will be. Bella gasps she feels regeneration energy starting. She was going to change. She was too badly hurt to survive in this body.
"Carlisle hunt the deer", Bella gasps gesturing to the deer that was close by
Carlisle runs off for the deer. Bella groans she was definably going to regenerate.
"Mum. I hurt you", Carlisle croaks bending down to look at her
"I will be fine", Bella groans
"What can I do?" Carlisle asks
"I am going to regenerate. Do you remember what I told you about that?" Bella asks
"Yes. You will change your face and body", Carlisle replies
"Correct. What I need is for you to carry me into the TARDIS. I don't want to regenerate out here. Hurry son", Bella says gasping
Carlisle gently picks her up trying not to hurt her anymore then he had already had. But she still groans out in pain.
"Sorry. I am so sorry", Carlisle sobs putting her down on the floor of her TARDIS
"Everything will be ok son. Now stand back I can't hold it in any longer", Bella says gasping
Carlisle moves as far back as he can and watches as she glows gold. The energy was pouring out of her. Bella staggers up and smiles a sad smile at Carlisle.
"I love you son", Bella says as she explodes with gold energy
The bright gold light was blinding especially to Carlisle. He was scared about what his mother was changing in to. He couldn't believe he had done this. He watches as the gold light begins to fade. Carlisle could only watch as his adopted mother transforms. He wondered if she will be the same after she regenerates...
