A/N This is during Breaking Dawn, but has an unusual twist to it. I tried to show how what Carlisle would feel if he felt something more for Bella. I'm reading Breaking Dawn over again, and got this idea.
Nothing goes as planned
Everything will break
People say goodbye
Carlisle's POV
"May I have this dance, Mrs. Cullen?" I held out my hand to Bella, who was blushing bright red. "Carlisle, that sounds like Esme. Can't I just stay Ms. Swan?" She took my hand, and we began a slow, but intricate dance around the rest of the guests at her wedding. Her wedding to my son, Edward.
If my cheeks could burn with jealousy they would; it was hard when you knew you loved a girl you could never have because she loved your son. I was happy for them, there was no doubt about that. But Bella made me different, emerged a feeling I hadn't had in me since the 1600's.
"Carlisle?" Bella's soft voice questioned me. I pulled away from my thoughts to answer her question. "I think Mrs. Cullen is perfect for you." Her blush returned and I couldn't help but smile. If only you knew, Bella.
Edward walked up to us, holding out his hand for his wife. Wife, the word was like a curse inside my head. "Bella, it's almost time to go. We don't want to miss the plane- Alice would have my head." Bella smiled a little timidly, and took his hand. Edward looked at me straight in the eyes, and I wished then that I didn't have a mind reader for a son. "Thank you, Carlisle. I'll take Bella from here." I had never heard Edward sound so vicious towards me, but I could only guess that he had heard my thoughts about Bella.
He lead her towards the bathroom and gestured to the woman's side in what looked like an attempt to try and get her to use the bathroom. When he had turned around to talk to Alice, I took my chance and headed unnoticed into the bathroom where she was standing in front of the sink.
She jumped when she saw me in the mirror. "Carlisle? What are you doing in here?" I felt guilty then; she must think I'm a pervert. "I'm sorry, Bella. But I knew that Edward would listen in to what I said if I talked to you out there." She looked at me hesitantly, "What did you want to tell me?"
"I wanted you to know that you can call me. Whenever. If you ever need me, just pick up the phone and I'll be there." I could hear her heartbeat get unsteady as she stood in place, "Thank you. I will, of course." She smiled at me and walked forward towards the exit. A small puddle on the floor made her slip, and I quickly caught her before she fell straight on her face. I whirled her up to face me; her already red face even redder. "I'm sorry, Carlisle, I'm really clumsy." I could feel her skin under the purple satin Alice had picked out for her as her going away dress. My fingers lingered on her waist as I made sure she was steady. "Have fun, Bella." I let go of her sadly as she smiled slightly and walked out to join Edward.
I watched as he took her hand in his, and lead her into the car headed towards the airport.
I didn't stay to watch her leave.
Bella's POV
The trip was tiresome, a bunch of transfers packed into one day. Edward was quiet most of the time, and I was glad for that- all I could think about was Carlisle and what he had said in the bathroom. His face had been dire, as if he had wanted to say more to me.
It made me feel good to know that he would be there for me, as any father-in-law should be. But there was also that unknown part in me that loved the way he grabbed me when I fell. As if I meant everything to him, and if I hurt myself he would die to save my life. It was wrong to think about Carlisle in any way besides a father or a friend, but I couldn't help the feelings that were stirring inside me.
Edward broke the silence at last as he pointed a small island out to me. "Look, Bella. That's Isle Esme." It was like nothing I had seen before. Beautiful and magnificent. I felt a twinge of jealousy when Edward said it had been a gift from Carlisle to Esme.
The nights went by, and you could say they were crazy and wild just like any other normal honeymoon. Until that day. The day when I was sick to my stomach, and all hell froze over.
"Bella? Bella, are you okay?" I could hear Alice's voice was filled with worry on the other end of the phone.
"Yeah. Um. Is Carlisle there?"
"He is." She called Carlisle's name away from the phone.
There was a silence. "Here's Carlisle."
"Bella, it's Carlisle. What's going on?"
"I think... well, I think that... maybe... I might be..." I took a deep breath. "Pregnant."
Edward's voice was filled with strain when he got off the phone with Carlisle.
"Bella, we're going home."
