Esme POV

I took one look at the overly-used index card in my hand, I then took one gaping look at the house in front of me. You know, it doesn't even look like a house…it's more of a mansion. A BIG mansion. Emmett clutched my arm tightly and hid behind my leg as I timidly rang the doorbell. Little pitter patter feet came running to the door and the lock made a loud click. Light flooded into the darkening afternoon and silhouetted a small figure with bronze hair and quite large eyes.

I knelt down to his level and stared into his eyes. "Hey there, um I'm assuming you are Edward?" The little boy nodded his head solemnly and stared past me to look at Emmett. "Yes, I'm Edward…who are you?" I chuckled, "Well I am going to be looking after you for a couple days, may I see a, uh Carlisle Cullen?" Edward beamed at the name, he pushed his finger up the bridge of his nose and replied in a very grown up tone, "Dr. Cullen will see you in a minute."

Edward took my hand in his, and led Emmett and I inside their large house. The inside had a touch of, well horribleness. None of the drapery matched with the dark couches, but I must say it was very neat. Suddenly I felt as if I didn't belong here, my shorts and T-shirt would never match up to the elegance of this house, but it would have to do for now. Edward beckoned Emmett over to the front room.

I ran my hand over the couches upholstery as I made my way after Emmett, the narrow hallway led into a light and open front room with a wood fire burning in the fire pit. Edward had already got a puzzle started. Emmett stared up at me and I nodded giving him a lopsided grin. After a few minutes of watching the boys in silence, Edward proudly announced that he was hungry. His voice echoed across the walls and gave me a jolt, "Alright." I announced back. "What would you like to eat?"

"Fillet Minion, with a light lemon sauce over a bed of rice pilaf." He said without taking a breath. I just stared at him, and looked at Emmett who looked at Edward like he was a freak of nature. "Well, Edward." I stuttered. He turned to look at me, "How about we have a simple dinner tonight?" "Chicken Noodle Soup?" Edward's eyes turned up in thought, "Okay, only if Emmett thinks it's ok too!" I glanced over at my own son, he gave an approving nod with two thumbs up.

I clicked the stove on and sighed when I didn't find a can of Chicken Noodle soup in the fridge. The best I could come up with was Chicken Broth and Noodles, so I set to work making sure the ingredients meddled together well. When I was getting out the bowls, I wondered about this Carlisle Cullen, would he need a bowl too? Looking up at the stove again to check, I ran out back to the front room to ask Edward.

I laughed as I rounded the corner to see Edward and Emmett figuring out where each piece of the puzzle went, Edward's brow was furrowed while Emmett was crossing his arms in thought. Edward turned to me with a smile, "Yes?" I smiled back, "Will Dr. Cullen be needing a bowl of soup this fine evening?" He shrugged, "I'll ask him right away Mrs. Emmett's mother." I squinted my eyes, "Actually Edward, I am not married." He stared at me with inquisitive eyes, "Well then how did you get about to have Em-." I stopped him mid-sentence and gave him a sarcastic glare. "Don't you worry about me Edward, go ask your Dr. Cullen if he wants one." I could see him flush with embarrassment and bounded up the wooden stairs with a nod.

Emmett vanished from sight as I headed back into the kitchen. I inhaled the sweet aroma of good comfort food when I started to put the soup into four bowls. "Ahem," I spun around quickly sending the remaining contents of the chicken broth can on the floor. Standing attention immediately, the stranger chuckled quietly. I was outraged, how could he just laugh. Emmett and Edward came running in to see what happened. Unfortunately for Edward, slipped right into the broth spot. Maternal instinct told me to bend down to check if everything was alright. The stranger did as well.

The only glimpse I had was the back of his head, which was honey brown, a lovely color. His swift hands moved to Edward's ankles to check if anything was broken. I stood back up and turned my head to the side letting my caramel curls shield my embarrassed face. It didn't work too well, as he stood up his chocolate brown-eyed gaze met my blue one. That was the first time I met whom Edward claimed to be 'Dr. Cullen.'

His golden hair fell in soft waves, and he did so have the air of a doctor. Edward carefully stepped over the broth pond to hug Dr. Cullen. Of course, I thought sadly that he must be his dad. When he let go, he dragged Emmett over to the dinner table in a seat next to his. My attention quickly snapped back to Dr. Cullen and his outstretched hand. "Hello, I'm Carlisle Cullen, and you must be Esme?" I nodded and shook his hand. "Yes, I am Esme Platt and you wanted me to look after Edward over there?" I shook my curls at Edward's direction. Carlisle nodded and smiled, wow what a beautiful smile.

I smacked my head causing Carlisle to jump, I shouldn't think about this, he's a married man! "Sorry," I mumbled. "So now that I have had the privilege to meet you, Carlisle, do I have the honor of meeting your wife as well?" He chuckled loudly, "Mrs. Platt I assure you, that I am single, Edward is my brother." "CARRRLISSLEE, ITSSS MS. EMMETT'S MOMMY!!!!" I felt the heat creep up to my cheeks. Carlisle smiled back, "Ah, so MS. Platt I assure you that I am single AS well." I ran my hand down my hair and nodded. As Carlisle came forward, he must of forgotten the chicken broth spot, since he crashed down, with me onto the floor.

Our faces were only inches apart as we got up together, his hand supporting my elbow. I giggled silently, picking up a dry dish rag and bending down to clean the trouble spot. "Ms. Platt I-." "Esme," I corrected him again. "Esme," he replied picking up two bowls of soup. "I hope you don't mind me saying, it's awfully charming to see you blush at everything I say." I blushed, WAIT, dang it… Carlisle laughed again, his smile was going to be a contagious disease, I knew it.

I laughed as Edward and Carlisle downed their bowls of soup just as quick as they started, what a couple of bachelors. When Emmett and I finished soon after them, I stood up to clear the table. Carlisle stopped me, "Here, let me help." Bobbing my curls, I followed Carlisle back into the kitchen. He placed the bowls in the sink and I started to rinse them off for the dishwasher. When the load was full, I dismissed the boys to continue playing.

Every boy, that is except Carlisle. He lingered about me as I sat down on the couch, I finally patted the seat next to me and he gladly took his arms of the back of the couch and plopped into the seat. "So how old are you Ms. Esme?" I looked at him shocked and laughed. "Carlisle, it's rude to ask a person their age, 23" I added. Carlisle gave me a smile back, "I'm 24, and don't you go saying that you asked or implied I GAVE you the answer." I shut my open mouth into a pout. "Thanksssss." I said sarcastically. "Anytime!" he answered with sincerity.

At about 10 Emmett paced over to me yawning. I turned to Carlisle who looked back at me and nodded. I rose up off the couch grabbing my purse and Carlisle went into the kitchen. I stood there for a moment, when he re-emerged holding out my payment I shook my head giving his face a curious look. "I couldn't, you were here this whole time, it doesn't count." I looked longingly at my first payment, "I-I don't need it anyway." "Are you sure?" he asked. "Yes, of course."

Carlisle gave the money to Edward, I gasped and Carlisle chuckled and whispered something to Edward who nodded in agreement. "He'll put it back Esme don't worry!" Edward smiled at me and then at Emmett waving a good bye. Carlisle walked me to the door with Emmett trailing behind. "Thank you for a nice evening, Esme." "Your welcome Dr. Cullen." I said sarcastically. Emmett bumped into my side making me lurch sideways I caught myself and laughed. Edward came into the hallway looking to see what the commotion was, he pulled on my shirt back and said with a warning tone and a pointed finger. " And don't forget to be safe driver!!"

I laughed and agreed, Edward disappeared down the hallway once more. When I turned to look back a Carlisle, his hand reached out to brush a stray curl away from my face. I blushed. "Damn it…"

Emmett fell asleep in his car seat on the way home, and I found myself hauling him up the stairs into the bed. He groggily dressed in his Jammies and collapsed on the bed. I smiled as I danced down the steps to grab my purse. I needed to call SOMEONE to confide in, but who was awake at 10 at night? The clasp opened and I gasped. 50 dollars were laying on top of all my other stuff. There was a note and a paper clip attached to the money. I slipped the scrap out and strained my eyes to read it, 5 year old scrawl was what my eyes fell upon. "don't you dare give this back!"

I was so going to kill Carlisle, but then I turned the note over… The Pier, 7:00 p.m, 1-500-xxxx. I entered the number into my cell and waited for 3 rings before someone picked up. "Hey this is Carlisle." "I'll be there…" I shut the phone, and I could tell he knew it was me by the gasp I had cut off…The Pier, 7:00 p.m…Yes, I said to myself, I will be there…
