Chapter 1: The Problem
Carlisle POV
I sighed again when I heard the yells fill the room. This was how I was greeted every time I entered my home after a long day in the hospital. Gone were the days when I dreaded coming home to only be alone and catch up on some reading. Now, I barely had time to keep up with my patient files with all these chaos.
Esme wanted to spend time with me, Edward wanted to complain, and Rosalie wanted a apology over and over again. I don't know who was more miserable, me or them.
It wasn't like this before I had changed Rosalie. Edward was always calm and busy with new collage classes and his piano. He rarely spoke unless it was to ask how my day was. Esme was the only one who quietly greeted me, which made Edward run away, using the excuse of hunting. It seemed to me like changing Rosalie ended my honeymoon phase.
"That's not the only thing she ended!" Edward yelled from his room.
I rolled my eyes, ignoring his eavesdropping. Usually I would chastised him for it, but right now I was too tired.
"Hi, dear. I'm glad you're back." Esme hugged me, taking my medical bag for me.
I smiled as I kissed her forehead and layed down next to her on our bed.
"Carlisle, dear.." Esme murmured as I held her close to me.
I hummed.
"I wanted to talk about Rosalie and Edward."
My eyes flew open, and my mood also went out the window.
I reluctantly moved a little away to give her some space. I grabbed her wrist to my lips and I made eye contact with her. "What's on your mind, my love."
"Carlisle, I love both Edward and Rosalie, you know I do."
I rolled my eyes, nodding. I bet you love them.
"They're wonderful." she continued, ignoring my annoying gesture.
Yes, they're just perfect darlings.
"But..."
I raised my eyebrows at her. "But..." I prompted.
She sighed, looked at me sadly, "I think you should talk to both of them. They have been breaking all the furniture in each other rooms. Today Edward broke Rosalie's favorite hairbrush when Rosalie broke his collectible CDs. I had to leave the house just to get away from the screams. I tried talking to them but if one understands, the other starts acting up. If I calm Edward then Rosalie loses her temper and vise versa. Please, do something. I don't want to buy any new furniture, you know I don't like to waste your money this way. We need the money for Edward's education, and moving around.."
"Honey, stop.." I shook my head making her stop protesting. She just didn't understand the amount of money I had. She always had trouble using my money. "It's our money, remember? We're both in this together. Now, can we get back to the topic? Are you saying that Rosalie and Edward are getting out of control?"
She nodded, causing me to groan. I had hoped Rosalie would mate with Edward, but now I could see I had been very wrong. I guess it was time to talk with Edward. I couldn't talk to Rosalie again. She had been the most unreasonable person since she found out I changed her. She cursed me for changing her and not letting her die. It was my weakness of not letting her go to waste that caused all this. She wouldn't have had this life if I hadn't changed her. After her temper started to be directed toward others, I had explained to Edward to just let it go. She could get used to this life or leave. Either way I didn't want Edward or Esme to fight with her. However, my plan didn't last long. As soon as Rosalie was rejected by Edward for taking her as his mate, she had been vicious both physically and mentally toward Edward. Edward had lost all patience once Rosalie started to attack him mentally. She disturbed him from all his regular activities and lose his temper on her.
I had a little thought that maybe this hate will turn into love but seeing how things were turning drastic, that wasn't going to happen.
"I will talk to Edward." I kissed Esme in assurance.
"What about Rosalie?"
I stood up, unbuttoning the sleeves of my shirt.
"I tried talking to Rosalie and thought she would calm down if everyone left her alone. Edward's actions are just provoking her." I went to open the closet and to change the hospital shirt I had on.
"But its Rosalie whose provoking Edward. Edward never lost his temper this way." she argued.
I rolled my eyes. In the hours I was away from the house, Edward had turned into her favorite son. She had even bragged about Edward to people in my hospital when she visited.
"I know Rosalie is also provoking Edward, too. But I can't make Rosalie understand, she keeps making me feel guilty about changing her. Maybe I can send Edward to a university. He can come back when Rosalie is not longer as temperamental. I think these early years into immortality is causing this." I had thought Rosalie's temper would calm down after her newborn years. However, I was beginning to see that Edward's guess might have been right, Rosalie has bought her… tenacity or pigheadedness with her from her human life instead of some talent like some vampires.
"No," Esme stood up next to me, pulling the white shirt from my hand, and handing me another one. "I don't want Edward to go, I was thinking of maybe just explaining to them to stop all this nonsense and calling it truce. I won't let Edward go anywhere, we just got him back."
I sighed as Esme reminded me about the time Edward had left us to pursuit on drinking human blood. His ten years departure was still fresh in my wife's mind.
"Okay, I won't send Edward anywhere, but I'll talk to him." I reasoned.
She nodded, as she kissed me.
