Tori POV

I walked into the ICU of the hospital which had become increasingly familiar to both my twin sister and I in our months spent with the Cullen family.

"Hi, is Doctor Cullen here?" I politely ask the woman behind the desk of the main hospital ward.

A very startled receptionist looks up to us with her mouth hanging open and says "...Oh, sorry. I'm afraid Doctor Cullen just stepped out for lunch."

"Are you sure about that?" I replied, trying to be to be patient with the dazed woman.

"Yes girls, I am quite sure" She was really starting to get on my nerves at this point, why couldn't she just tell us to 'wait' in his office, even though we knew he did not go out for lunch.

"Could you please take us to his office then? I'm almost positive he said he would be here all day." My super smart twin Sarah asks.

"Well... alright, follow me this way." She was clearly annoyed with Sarah's pestering. But, she could have just taken us to his office right away.

Walking through the hospital is a hard thing to do even after a lot of practice and effort to restrain ourselves from human blood. We had come to the front door of our adopted father's office and the receptionist, Linda, knocks on his door.

"Doctor Cullen?"

"Yes?" Comes the muffled, deep reply of our 'father figure'

"There are two girls out here who say they need to see you."

"Who are they?"

"Hey Carlisle, its Sarah and Tori!" My sister and I both say in sync.

"Carlisle? You know Doctor Cullen?" asks the very confused Linda. She was so slow! Why couldn't she keep up with us?

I felt like just yelling: "Yeah, we live with him, why do you think we're here?" she really needs to catch up.

The voice of Carlisle cuts us off from answering though.

"Hi there girls, can I help you with something?"

"Doctor Cullen." Linda, the annoying, I mean 'nice' receptionist interrupts while ogling our adopted, and married (for like 300 years, I might add) to Esme Cullen, making Sarah and I gag "I didn't know you had two more girls living with you? I thought you just had your three sons, your daughter and your niece and nephew."

'Well these two." Carlisle informed her pointing to Sarah and I "Are my wife, Esme's, nieces. Their parents died a few years ago and we said we would take care of them." kindly hinting to the fact that he was happily married and still good natured. That was Carlisle, always kind and always looking like the perfect angel-doctor.

"Oh I see…well I should probably get back to work" she said hesitantly, still hoping Carlisle would give up on Esme and finally realize the 'love of his life'…ugh. It was disgusting, why does everyone have to love our father? Like, find your own vampire to love! She finally turned and trudged back to her desk, 'Goodbye Linda'.

"So girls what can I do for you today?" That was just like Carlisle always so kind and gentle even when we messed up his schedule.

"Well…Emmett, well he kind of sort of…" I could find the words, which is when my twin stepped in and saved me.

"Emmett destroyed part of the house, 3 windows and the front door. He got into a fight with a visiting vampire, Mark, I think his name his. Mark and Jennifer, they said they knew you a while ago. Anyway Mark insulted Emmett saying he was an idiot or something. They fought, broke the house and now Esme is having a nervous breakdown 'cause she doesn't know what to do. She is keeping her cool, on the outside, but she told us to come and tell you, just for a heads up. The boys took Emmett out to the baseball field. So it's just Alice, Rosalie, Esme and us at home with our 'guests'." Sarah spoke nonchalantly, as if she had been a vampire for 100 years instead of just a few months.

Carlisle took in everything my twin was saying and analyzed the information; I can always tell by the way he stares off into the distance. "Thank you for telling me girls, I really appreciate it. Can you go back and help Esme with the house? And do me a favour, keep a close eye on our houseguests and don't be alone with them, they enjoy killing newborns, unfortunately. Just make sure you are close to Alice or Rosalie at all times, no offense, but you two aren't the greatest of fighters, yet."

"No problem Carlisle. We'll see you around six" I loved the way he always looked out for us, but still worried about hurting our feelings, something most people didn't exactly care about.

The run back to the house from the hospital wasn't very long, but it gave me too much time to contemplate Carlisle's words. I knew he would never worry us without proper cause and that meant that Jennifer and Mark were a serious threat. Thinking back, Carlisle didn't look very happy when Sarah told him that the boys had gone out, he probably wished Jasper had stayed behind, as he had the most extensive fighting experience from the Southern Wars.

Thinking about all this would have made my heart race, had it still been beating, so I tried to turn my thoughts to how to help Esme. That lasted all of 3 seconds.

"What did you think of what Carlisle said, 'bout Mark and Jennifer and them liking to kill newborns?" I asked my logical twin, knowing she would be able to use reason and common sense to calm me down. She was the best at that, knowing exactly what to say to make me feel better.

"He probably just wanted to warn us to make sure we understood exactly who they were and what they were all about. I'm sure they won't do anything, seeing as they know we are part of Carlisle's family. As long as we keep our distance and are with Alice or Rose, we should be fine, just like Carlisle said. Too bad the guys went though, especially Tyler, right Tori?" That's my twin, always knows what to say.

Tyler, I had forgotten about him. He was new to the Cullen family when Sarah and I joined but, he was nice, and we quickly felt a strong connection. Now he was boyfriend, my perfect, adoring boyfriend. His hair is darker than Edward's, but still a bit messy in the front. He has broad shoulders and is gorgeously muscular (less than Emmett, but still the perfect amount) and best of all, he liked me. My thoughts were cut off when we neared the house and heard glass breaking. Sarah ran even faster and was in the door, looking at the vase Carlisle had gotten Esme years before, shattered on the ground.

Uh-oh, this can not be good, it was one of Esme's favourites. Worse she just stood there looking at it on the ground. Jennifer and Mark rolled their eyes, they were so rude, and I wish they would just leave. I helped Sarah with the vase, and Rosalie took Esme upstairs, Alice was supervising the guests, unwanted guests I might add. Thank God! The boys are back, and that means that Tyler is too.
