Jaspers POV
We were all going out for dinner...all of us except Esme and Carlisle. Carlisle had been at the hospital all week. Most of his co-workers came down with the stomach flu. Carlisle had been taking extra shifts so the other doctors would not infect other patents.
Poor Esme was home alone with us. I could tell that with out his presence she just did not feel complete. She was rather depressed. When Carlisle finally returned from his week long shift Esme was ecstatic. They both knew they needed time together. That's when my siblings and I decided to go out for an evening. We all figured they needed time to catch up and talk. They deserved that time to be with each other.
We were all just about to leave when Alice realized she had forgotten her purse. Being the husband I am I went in to the house to retrieve it for her. She said she had left it in the kitchen. I walked in to the house through the front door and made my way to the kitchen. However, before I went in I noticed Carlisle and Esme kissing, not just a peck but a passionate make out kiss.
It was a very scaring mental picture. Esme even had one leg wrapped around Carlisle's waist. I decided to wait one more minute to see if thing stopped, before I decided to walk in to the kitchen. I was just about to go back in, when I heard the voice. "Whoa!!!!! Get a room." It was Emmett, he could make any situation awkward.
I walked in to find Esme still sitting on the counter. She now had her head in her hands and looked as if she was going to cry or die of embarrassment. Carlisle was wide eyed and staring at Emmett and Edward and then at me.
"Wow" Emmett spouted off "If this is what you do when were gone. I don't think we can trust you." Emmett was just making this situation worse and Edward was not helping by adding extra laughter. Then Rosalie came running up screaming.
"Who's NACKED Who's NAKED" She chanted "Who's NACKED in the kitchen?" Then I heard Alice's voice. "WAIT ROSE WHAT IF IT'S DAD? DO YOU KNOW HOW AWKWARD THAT WOULD BE!!!!!!!!! Carlisle's face turned a bright shade of crimson. Smooth Alice smooth I thought to myself.
Soon the girls joined us in the kitchen. I could tell that Esme and Carlisle were truly embarrassed. I could just see it. I felt so horrible because I knew that they felt horrible. My brothers, my sister and even my Alice were laughing.
"HEY Stop!" I yelled which was completely unlike me "We just interrupted a very private moment between them and making jokes isn't helping. I know Emmett, you and Rose have a different definition of private but I think Esme and Carlisle's definition differs slightly. I mean we could walk in to the room naked and you wouldn't notice." Emmett and Rose look at me as if I had reveled some deep dark secret.
"And Edward you and Bella are just so gross sometimes. You know with your perverted smiles and such. It really grosses me out!!!" Edward then looked at me. He was pissed.
"I mean sometimes Alice and I can get a little raunchy, however we try to remain as private as possible." Alice then shot me a death glare. I was dead meat. But I had to say it I had to defend my parents.
"I mean, come on guys, we get these moments when ever we please. But, Carlisle and Esme like to keep things private. So that this event, that just happened, would never happen. However, it did and we are standing here laughing at them because they wanted to have a moment to themselves. They don't get moments like these as often as we do. Half the time dad is at work, the other half we're here. So every once in a while they get a private moment like this. So come on guys lets leave so they can be private."
I pushed them all out the door and I grabbed Alice's purse. We decided to eat our dinner slowly not wanting to interrupt more than we had. The family had now formed some Jasper hate club or something. Our table was silent. Soon we talked about random events. Trying hard not to remember what was going on at our house right now.
However, when we got home Carlisle was sitting in his pajamas watching TV and Esme, in her robe, was in the kitchen making herself a cup of tea. I was a little disappointed knowing that what ever they had planned didn't happen. I walked in to the kitchen to grab bottled water when Esme without looking up whispered 'thank you'. I knew then that they did get their moment a special moment.
Esme then walked out of the kitchen and into the living room. She cuddled up next to Carlisle on the couch. He put an arm around her and gently kissed the top of her head. Then she laid her head down on his shoulder. It was a sweet moment.
I knew that the air in the house tomorrow would be different. Mom would be happy because dad was back. Dad would be happy because he was home with mom. I smiled knowing that one moment…well two moments I guess, could change the whole mood of the house. I believe that Esme and Carlisle do live each moment to the fullest, each one is special. I was glad things would be back to normal.
