EPOV

It was all that was on her mind. Day and night, the thought was always there. I want to teach. I want to be a teacher. I want to be around children. I don't blame her. I knew Esme has a strong maternal instinct, I'm only surprised teaching hadn't crossed her mind earlier.

The house was quiet, everyone was off doing their own things. Bella was putting Nessie to bed at the Cottage, Alice and Jasper were off somewhere, Emmett was watching football, and Rosalie was working on her car. Carlisle was working late at the hospital, and I was just about to call it a night and head to the cottage, when I got a glimpse of the website Esme was on.

I came up behind her, resting my hand on her shoulder. "Go for it Esme, you deserve it."

She looked up from the screen, "The baby--"

"Is hardly a baby anymore, and besides, I'm sure Bella wouldn't mind spending more alone time with her daughter."

"I just don't know..." She sighed, and looked longingly at the screen.

"Esme, you would make a wonderful teacher. Any child would be lucky to have you to teach them." She looked up at me and smiled. I kissed her on the cheek, then headed to the cottage.

Bella was sitting in the living room, the TV on low volume. She looked up when she saw me, and patted them empty space on the couch next to her. I pulled her into my arms, and held her tight. "Bella," I began.

"Mhmm," She nodded, looking up. "I know you were planning to start high school again soon, and that Esme was going to stay home with the baby, but..."

"Yes?"

"Esme really wants to teach, and I think she deserves too. Of course Renesmee can't be left alone all day, so I was wondering how opposed you are to being a stay at home mom for a few years."

"Really?" Bella jumped up, "I would get Nessie all to my self? What about Jacob?"

"Jacob will be attending high school with us. Nessie would be all yours." I smiled up at my glowing wife.

"Of course, tell Esme yes!" Bella danced around, obviously happy that she would really get to enjoy being a mother.

ESME POV

I heard the glass door open, then shut. "Carlisle?" I stood up, and poked my head around the corner. "

"Edward," He corrected, coming to sit on the couch.

"Edward, what are you doing here? Its late. Shouldn't you be at home with Bella and Nessie?"

"Esme, Bella and I talked it over, and we both want you to be a teacher. I can tell-actually I can hear how much you want it." Edward came over and hugged me. "So, on behalf of Bella and I, here," Edward handed me a manilla envelope, and I pulled out a teaching certificate. "Edward," I felt like if I had tears, they would be escaping my eyes now. "Thank you, to Bella too. I love you guys so much!"

"It was nothing," He smiled at me, "Well, I'm gonna call it a night... again." He hugged me again, "See you in the morning."

"I love you Edward." I gave him three kisses, one for him, one for Bella, and one for Renesmee.

Just as the screen door shut, I heard foot steps flutter down the stairs. Alice flew into the living room, wearing only pink lacey lingerie. Jasper followed behind in boxers and a t-shirt, looking quite annoyed.

I knew full well what they were doing upstairs, but I chose to ignore Alice's clothing. Even though she was my daughter, she was also an adult. Maybe not legally, but she has sure been alive long enough.

"What is it Alice?" The look on her face told me it was not good.

"Yes, Alice," Jasper's voice had an edge, "what on earth could be so important as to interrupt our evening?"

"I saw I girl..." Alice scrunched her eyebrows. "She was human, maybe seven or eight, I don't know who she was, but I saw her here, on this couch, and her notebook clearly read M. Cullen. Cullen. Her last name was Cullen, and she sure looked the part."
