A/N: tell me what you think in my oppion there aren't enough stories on Carlisle and his relationship with Esme.


Carlisle was staring down at what he thought was the most beautiful creature on earth.

Esme.

Her red eyes flashed open. She flew to the corner of his room knee's to her chest as she rocked back and forth with dread. Her whole body was shaking. Carlisle walked toward her like one might walk toward a frightened animal. The closer he got the more Esme scrambled back till her back was pressed firmly against the wall.

"It's alright Esme I won't hurt you. I'm here to help you. I have something very important to discuss with you as well." She was still un sure but then she relaxed against the wall. "Where am I? " Her lips trembled. "Your at my home with me and my adopted son Edward. My name is Dr. Carlisle Cullen."

There was such sadness in her eye's before she asked "Why did you save me ? I wanted to die. -her eyes seem to show she was miles away for a moment- I have nothing to live for." she mumbled as she closed her eyes, If could she would have been in tears. I crouched down and sat on the floor in front of her hoping to make her feel more comfortable.

It worked because she crossed her legs sitting less defensive. "Why do you say? If you don't mind my asking? What caused you to try to tempt your life?" Esme brows furrowed as she thought of what to say. " I married a man who turned out to be abusive. He use to beat me just because he could. He would drag me upstairs just because he wanted sex he would strangle me and beat me while doing it just laugh at my reactions. Then I found out that I was pregnant. That was my hope the only thing that kept me going knowing I was having a baby. But then one day my husband beat me so bad that I lost the baby. At that point I saw no point in living, so I went to the woods and jumped off the cliff just before I hit the bottom I smiled knowing that the painful memory that had haunted would never haunt me again and that I would never hurt by his hands."

Guilt flashed over me I just condemned her to an eternity of painful memories that she so desperately tried to escape. I felt ashamed that I condemned her to fathom her personal hell. Right when I was about to tell her sorry I was she shook her head "Please don't .I never told anybody because I dislike pity." I nodded acknowledging her request.

I told what she had become what we are how we survived. " I would love for you to stay with me and my son. If you would like we can help you. Teach you how to hunt , interact with humans, and I could even provide for you anything ou could possibly want." I could see her musing over the possible idea. "I couldn't. I don't want to put you or your son out." I chuckled. "You wouldn't be putting us out in any way." she slide her hand into mine. "Only if you say so. I still feel as if I'm an inconvenience." We both stood. "You wouldn't be putting us out in anyway. I would rather enjoy your company. Let's go hunt."
