Twilight Fanfiction. – Esme's POV.
"Esme, I've left something for you in your room" Alice informed me as I passed; I turned and smiled at my daughter.
I hurried to my room and I saw a picture frame lying on our bed. It was a picture of Carlisle and I, his arm around me, the day we met Bella. It was truly amazing. I picked it up to take it to Carlisle in his study. Along the hallway, I saw pictures of Edward and Bella, Nessie and Jacob, Alice and Jasper and Emmett and Rosalie, all hand-drawn by Alice. I stopped to Study them. Edward and Bella were sitting on the front porch while it rained, beaming smiles on their faces. Renesmee and Jacob's picture shows Renesmee on Jacob's wolf- back and she was grinning at him. Alice and Jasper's picture showed their meeting, it showed Jasper taking Alice's hand in the diner, Alice told me she had drawn several others of herself and Jasper, and they were hanging in Jasper's study. Emmett and Rosalie's weren't that different to the others, it showed Emmett holding Rosalie in his arms as he kissed her forehead, they were all beautiful, capturing loving moments of every couple, those pictures showed the love each couple had for one another, and you could tell that they would love each other forever! There was a space, waiting for our picture, I wanted to hang it but I wanted to show Carlisle first.
I walked and found Carlisle surrounded by his medical journals.
Carlisle never really seemed to leave work when he left the hospital each night, he always enjoyed reading his medical journals, and he once said it relaxes him.
"Am I interrupting?" I asked, knocking and entering.
"Of course not, Esme!" he said, his beautiful grin on his face when I looked at him. I walked in and he opened his arms for me. I carefully laid the picture frame on his desk and sat on his lap, his arms wrapping around me.
"What have you got there?" he asked, gesturing to the picture.
"Alice drew it of us, it's when we met Bella for the first time" I explained.
"It's wonderful" he smiled, his eyes never straying from the image. I smiled at thinking how Happy Alice would be.
"That was a good day, despite everything" I said, making Carlisle nod
"It was. Edward finally found somebody that he loved and she loved him back. Everyone had their soul-mate by their side" he said, kissing my temple.
"I know, I met mine that time I broke my leg" I smiled,
"Well, I met mine the second I saw her in morgue, my mind was flooding with images of her when I fixed her leg" He said, making me chuckle.
"Thank you… I don't know if I ever said it, but thank you for saving me, Carlisle" I said, my eyes locking with his.
"I will never regret saving you, Esme, I love you." He said,
"I love you too, Carlisle, Always." I smiled, as he kissed my cheek and pulled me closer.
"I don't regret saving Edward, Emmett or Rosalie either, and I don't regret taking Alice and Jasper in, or allowing Bella to have Renesmee." He went on.
"This is a strong Family, Carlisle. We'll all be together forever" I reminded him.
"Our family is strong" Carlisle agreed.
After all, The strength of a family, like the strength of an Army, lays in the loyalty to each other...
