Chapter 2 Work and School

Carlisle's POV

"That boy, I swear that he is going to kill me with all the stress and problems that he causes." Esme giggled as I laid in our bed my arms wrapped around her tiny waist as I heard Rosalie giggling as something Emmett had said. I shook my head and looked up at the window as the rising sun broke through the clouds. "Dear maybe you should just relax up to him, you know that he isn't one for rules, the more that you tighten the leash the more that he is going to push." I looked at Esme her gentle words had a lot of meaning behind them and I know that she is right but still there was something about it that I didn't like. I looked down at her golden eyes just as bright as mine but just a little bit lighter. They were more beautiful than words could describe. "What do you suggest my dear that I let that boy walk over me, even Edward let his rebellious stage.

I look at her as she frowned me before kissing my lips gently and getting out of the bed stretching out her back like her muscle before slipping on a pair of blue jeans before slipping on a white flowing shirt. I couldn't help but look at her long creamy legs everything about her drove me insane. "Carlisle stop staring your making me self-conscious." I looked up and sighed heavily before laughing. "sorry" I got out of bed and crept quietly behind her, taking in her scent of black orchids before kissing her gently on the back of the neck, then her collar one. "Don't even think about it, the kids are in the house." I chuckled lightly before kissing her cheek then her lips. "I would never dream of it, my love." I watched her grow flustered while I stifled a laugh before walking out the coolest.

I grabbed the first pair of black slacks that I could find before grabbing a white button-down shirt before grabbing my new white lab coat.I sighed heavily before walking over to the bed and looking at Esme. "Are you sure that you want to come with me Emse. I mean really I wouldn't mind letting you say here." She giggled and lightly slapped my arm as she slipped on her heels. "The kids will be fine on their own for a few hours. I'm sure that Emmett knows to behave, Rose won't let him get away with anything." I sighed but I knew that wasn't true she had too much faith in our daughter. She lets Emmett do whatever he wants and that is one of the biggest problems in this family, Emmett has his little tricks to walk over all of them. I shook my head sheepishly but put the thought out of my head as I put on my leather lathers and jogged down the stairs grabbing a travel mug and filling it up with blood.

"So how long are you and mom going to be gone for." I heard the gruff yet amused I knew that it was Emmett before I turned around. Emmett must have heard the slushing of the blood as it went into the mug. He as this wide grin on his face as I looked at him, he has this amusing light in his eyes and I know that it meant no good. "Yes, my bear we are and I expect you to behave do you understand me." I looked at him for a moment and he groaned slightly like I had hurt his feeling but he perked up almost immediately.

"Of course so where are you two going." Just as he said that Esme walked around the corner, my white coat flooded perfectly over her arms and she leaned angst one the black cabinet. She smiled gently at me before trying to look at Emmett this stern look on her face as she frowned. "Why my little bear are you going to be up to no good while we are gone." At that, he smiles even wider before bounding off toward his mother with this until pep in his step. He kissed her gently on the cheek before wrapping her up in a large bear hug.

"Never mom I always behave, don't I?" He cocked his head to the side, this shine of amusement in his eyes that forced worry in her eyes as he refused to answer the question. "We are going to the school to get you registered for class then I have to head to the hospital but your mother would be back within an hour so try to behave would you." I look at Emmett and he smiled wide and nodded his head. "You ain't got nothing to worry about pops I swear." I rolled my eyes there was no way that I was going to believe that but I just nod my head and looked out into the garage. I decided that it was best to take the Volvo, I know Edward doesn't like it when other people touch his car but I did pay for it.

The ride to the school was silent but it was peaceful, when we pulled up to the school I wasn't surprised to see a few cars, but that made sense. This was the last day to register new students for their course. I sighed heavily and walked out of the car and into the hallway of the school. Esme wrapped her gentle fingers around mine and I felt myself an ease a little bit. "Why do you seem so worried, dear." I looked at her and shook my head "I'm just a little worried about how Jasper will act around humans for the next couple of weeks he still new to this life." I watched her nose her with motherly concern when we came up to the principal office. The door flung open widely as two parents came seething in bits of rage I wonder what happened. "You must be and his wife Esme Cullen right."

I shook myself out of my thoughts but a warm and inviting voice when I looked up a man who looked to be in his 50's answered the door and gave us a gentle smile. "Hello please come in." I nodded my head in thanks as Esme gave him a warm smile before walking into the office. There was large brown oak desk that took up most of the space. Behind the desk was a thick black leather chair. In front of the desk was two brown chair that leans back.

His desk was little with different keepsakes such as family photo and an Atticus's, I hadn't seen one of those in years.I shook my head and sat down as Esme did the same our hands interlace the whole time never once untangling. I smiled plait at the prince and he did the same as a silence fell on the room. "So you are here to register your kids for school is that right." I nodded my head as Esme pulled out their a pristine white folder out of her bag and handed it over to the principal. He looked at it quickly before placing the thick files on the table.

He looked at the politely and smiled"So you two kids Emmett and Rosalie are going to be sophomores and then your other three children, Edward, Jasper, and Alice will be that correct?" I smiled politely at him "Yes that is correct." He smiled gently at us for like he wanted to ask a rude question but didn't know how to parse it. "These are your adopted children." I looked at him and smile as the lies rolled off my tongue like honey.

"Emmett and Edward are our biological children. Rosalie and Jasper are twins who we adopted a few years back, and Alice was Esme niece her father died in a crash we adopted her afterward." I watched him nod his head as his eyes sparkled. I don't know why but I just knew that we were going to be the newest parahis in this town I growled, I don't want to have to deal with the kid and there constant nagging and complaining.I wanted one night that was drama free but I guess not.

He nodded his head and typed a few things into the computer that was haphazardly on his desk before smiling at us. "Alright everything is set you should get their schedule in the mail by tomorrow and school starts next week." I smiled and nodded my head before shaking his head and walking out of the office with Esme. She bumped my shoulder playfully with this small smile on her face."See everything worked out and Jasper for a week to wrap his mind around the whole thing nothing to worry about."

I chuckled and nodded my head "Yes I suppose so but now that is a whole week we have to deal with Emmett wanting to be grounded this is going to be a long week. I have to head to work dear do you want to take the car and I will run to the hospital." She scoffed at me before kissing my lips gently "What so you can go to work looking disheveled mess, if they are going to be talking about us I want to make sure that it is the good kind of gossip. Take the car I need the run."

Before I could say another word she disappeared, I shook my head slowly and got in the car before pulling out of the parking lot. Within no time I had pulled up at the hospital and into the hospital. The sound of screaming and nervous whisper around the house. The most present sound of were giggling escaping him their lips as I walked briskly down the hallway and into my office. I sat in my chair before rubbing my temple before looking at a picture of me, Esme, Rosie and the boys when we were watching the aurora borealis in Alaska. That was a long time ago before we met Jasper or Alice. I sighed and tapped my hand before looking at the ceiling for a moment before getting to work. Time to get to work saving lives and all that.

By the time that I got out of the house I was exhausted, I wouldn't mind laying down for awhile but I guess that's just wasn't in the cards. The moment that I pulled up to the house I heard yelling. I groaned and walking into the house to see that Rose was yelling at Alice. Rosalie snarled wildly at her and snapped but Alice dance out of the way. I shook my head, what could I have missed. "Hey, pop." I looked down to see Emmett on the floor blood on his shirt from the smell of it, it was a grizzly bear.A deep gash on his arm that I knew had to be a bit mark. "What happened Emmett." He shrugged his shoulders as he tried to try to figure out what happens. form the ground, only to swoon a bit. He was getting ready to fall when I grabbed him by his arm holding him up. "What is going on!" My voice boomed Rose looked at me and then at Emmett, concern, and fear filling in her eyes it almost overshadows her anger for only a moment before she snarled.

"Rosalie enough, now all of you the living room." I walked into the living room with Emmett on my shoulder, he was trying not to whimper or show that he was in pain from the venom that is surely cursing through my veins. I place him gently on the couch before turning to see that only Rose and Alice were here. "Where's your mother and brothers." Rosalie shrugged her shoulder but I could tell that she was lying. "Mom is out with Jasper she took him for a hunt to calm him down, Edward is upstairs hiding from you, he told Alice what I had been thinking about Alice freaked out and came after me. I told her that I didn't want to fight but he shoved me and then bit my forearm then shoved me. I can't really remember after that I hit my head and blacked out for a moment." I heard the exhaustion in Emmett's voice, Esme was not going to be happy when she came home and saw that bite on his arms. In her mind, Emmett was her baby boy that could do no wrong.

"Talke now Alice, Rosie" I looked at the both of them and Alice whimpered as she looks at her hands "I lost it and when I saw Emmett in the kitchen going to get something to eat I lost I walked into the kitchen he back was to me so he didn't even get a chance to lay a hand on I doubt that he was trying to hit me, he didn't want to get in trouble. Rosalie came running down the stairs and found Emmett on the ground with my teeth in his arm. She attacked me and I fought back then you came back. End of story." Her voice was so small and soft I could tell that she was trying to keep her voice down so that I couldn't hear her I guess. "Carlisle dear we are back." I hear a whimper escape, Alice, as I looked up to see that Esme was walking with honey blonde hair following after her.

"Emmy you better have behaved while I was gone?" Her voice was so high pitched but sounded musical, sweet like a new melody composed by Edward. She was creeping down the hallway at a light pace and with every step she took, seemed to make Alice seem to unravel. Esme had finally broken into the living room and saw Emmett slumped on the couch with a whimper escaping his lips as he winced with from rubbed his hand over the wound like he was trying to rub away the sting.

Esme collapse on the couch next to him carrying her fingers through his hair which caused me to sign a bit. "What happened to my little bear? Someone better start talking." Rose whimpered at the sound of her mother's voice as she crept over it me and using me as a human shield. Esme usually warm and bubbly voice was astrology calm and it was making even my skin crawl. "Alice did it, mom, she attacked Emmett because of the other day Edward told him what he was thinking and she flipped on him. She kicked him square in his chest with way too much force and then bit his arm."

Esme snarled as her eyes turned glittering black as she resisted the urge to stand up and attacked Alice.I could see it momma bar was ready to protect her cub. That poor girl what she did was a mistake yes but everyone knows not to mess with Emmett or face the wrath of Esme. I shook my head and place a caring hand on Esme should before letting out a worried sigh. "I will deal with them, Emmett is anything broken." I looked at him and he looked up his golden eyes usually warm were cold and black.

"Nope just need a new shirt and a drink." I nodded my head and looked at Rose. "Get him a new shit and a cup of blood then my , Edward my study now." I didn't wait for them to get up I made my way to the study at a human pace. When I opened the door and slammed it shut I saw them jump. Edward had known that I wanted him to keep his mouth shut when it came to Alice and Jasper. But I suppose he just couldn't control himself.

I sat in my chair and looked at Edward his head bowed in a submissive posture as he looked at his hands. Alice, on the other hand, was staring at the wall beside me trying to avoid having to look at me. I knew that she was terrified that Esme would come in here at any moment to strike. Which is a funny thought, my little fragile and delicate Esme looking for a fight? I stifled a laugh as the cold look on my face slipped away when I heard a knock on the study door.

"Come in." I looked up to see that Rose's honey blonde curls were flowing onto the side of her arm and she poked her head in. "Father" She was so formal when she was trouble but she was still daddy's little girl. She walked over to the cafe lounge and sat on the couch folding her legs as she stares intently at me. She looked beyond pissed off she obviously she didn't think that there was anything wrong with what she did. "How is Em?" I looked at her as she snarled at Alice.

"In pain from the venom as soon as the other left, he started to whimper from the pain and he has been whence from the pain in his chest. Right now he is still in the living room with mom." I looked at her for a minute before nodding my head and tuned in my heart to list of Esme cooing at Emmett. "Its okay little bear just breath and the pain will lessen," I sighed before looked at Rosie "Alright well Rosie I will deal with you first since your siblings are too scared to even look at me."

I turn to look her right in the eyes her gaze never wavering not even a nervous twitch. I knew she was just waiting for me to pass down the judgment and no matter what I said she would argue with me. But you can't attack a coven member, a member of this family no matter what. But that being said she was trying to protect Emmet who was in direct danger. "Kitten you can't attack a family member there are strict rules against that, but since this was your first time attacking anyone in this family, and you were just trying to defend Emmett from he wouldn't even fight against, I'm going to let you off with a stern warning so give me your keys to your red convertible."

She stood up and stomped her foot on the ground before looking at Alice, but she wouldn't even look at her. But Rosie was seething with rage. "That's not fair, I was protecting my mate she attacked him with no cause. All he did was think a few things and she attacks my man, no way in hell was I going to take that shit.I'm not giving you my car keys." I sighed and stood up walking over other silently stalking other. But she didn't back do if anything her anger fueled her dissonance. I wrapped an arm around her waist to hold her in place as she grabbed keys out of her pockets.

I knew that when she went for her drive tonight which meant that she put her key in her pocket. She always put them there and completely forgot all the time. In one swift motion, I had put the keys in my desk dare and locked it before looking back at Rose. She stomped her foot on the ground as her blonde curls cover her face obstructing her expression from my view. "I h…."Before she has had a chance to say anything I spoke over her forcing her to clamp her mouth shut. "Room now!Don't leave for the rest of the night." She stomped out of the room wait till I heard the door slam.

Usually, Emmett was the only one that I had to deal with when I got home but today he seems to be the only one that wasn't causing problems. But now it was time to deal with Alice and Edward the architects of this madness. Alice first. "Alice what you did was unacceptable, stupid and idiotic you could have hurt him or yourself. What if Rose decided to kill you, what if you had killed Emmett, all over something that he merely thought. Do you have anything to say for yourself."

I looked at her and she shook her head no and continued to looked glumly at her lap. I let out a sigh this girl was already beating herself up there was no reason for me to say anything. "Fine go to your room you grounded until Esme forgives you or until I change my mind." She nodded her head but I could tell that she was a little more hopeful, but simply asking for forgiveness isn't going to work. I realized at that moment that Edward was more to blame if it weren't for him none of this would be happening.

"Do you want to tell me what leading up to you telling Alice what I had discussed with Emmett yesterday in the truck." I looked at Edward and he looked up from his lap venom tears in his eyes, I could tell that he was trying to hide his reaction. "Father…...I..I...I" He couldn't even form a sentence was he that maybe he just didn't have a reason and he just told her because he could. "Edward answer me what was your reason for telling Alice." He let out a heavy sigh as his shoulders slump and he put his head in his hands. "I….I told Alice because Emmett was begun the way to loud and he wouldn't shut up so I was venting to Alice when I let it slip. I didn't mean to but he was just being so annoying."

You have to be kidding me this all started because what Emmett's, tv was too loud for Edward's liking you have got to be kidding me. I shook my head sadly before sitting in the chair that was vacant after Alice left. I pinched the bridge of my nose as I took in a few deep breaths. "So let me get this straight you ratted out your brother because he was too loud. Too loud doing what exactly." Edward looked up with fear in his eyes like he knew that I was close to losing my temper if he answered wrong. He shook his head slowly before looking away at me, I gripped his chin tightly and forced him to look at my eyes to eye. "What was Emmett doing so loud that it earned him a bite to the arm and a bruised breastplate?"

He frowned at me before looking away from my gaze and taking his chin out of my hands. "He was playing video games I asked him to turn it down and he didn't so I went into Alice's room to vent and I kind of let it slip." Let it slip my ass Edward was been lying since he became a vampire he knew how to keep a secret. Yeah right. I couldn't believe it he had to have done that on purpose. I had gripped Edwards' wrist and pulled him over my lap, by the time that he was conscious of what was going on I had his legs pinned under my left leg to keep him in place. I laid down his jeans and boxer before cracking the belt against the desk to strike fear into his heart. He started to whimper before the belt even hit him. I never had to beat him with the belt before but he needed to understand that there is consequences.

I cracked the belt ansigt his skin as he let out a sharp yelp as he started to cry to himself. "I sorry daddy please stop." I shook my head as he was so melodramatic when it came to punishments."Eddy I have barely started yet your brother and sister can go 30 likes before they beg me to stop come one take it like a man." I said it vindictively as I gave him another 20 licks and he was melting in my hands screaming and saying that he wouldn't cause trouble anymore, but after another 30 lick, I finally let him go. He was whipping away his venom tears hitting my legs as I pulled his jeans and boxers up.

He whimpered as I lifted him onto my lap and let him cry on my chest for a little while he hid his face in the crook of his neck. When his crying subsided and was reduced to light sniffles I rubbed my hand soothingly against his back as a few cold tears escape. "You're going to apologize to Emmett and ask for forgiveness then you are going to bed you hear him." I made sure that my voice was low but even so that he wouldn't be upset. "Yes, daddy." I kissed his temple gently before standing him up. "Now go, I will be out there a minute." I watched him nodded his head before running out of the room.I shook my head I swear that boy would take corporal punishment well.

I look around my office for the moment it was organized but he kicked his chair when he was failing around trying to get away from me. That boy. I shook my head sadly and grabbed the chair putting in the right position before running up to my room. I switched into sweatpants and gray I made it to the living room. Esme was rubbing Emmett head while he slept, she was watching some sappy love film when I came up behind her and kissed her head

I could tell that she was still seething in rage and Emmett whimper beneath her from the venom that was still in his veins. I shook my head and ran a hand over his chest to see if anything was broken but he was fine for the most part. I looked down at Esme who eyes were still black but I knew that it was formed rage, not hunger. "Emmett will be fine in a day or two just a little damage." I looked at her cautiously as she snapped her head up in fear. "I don't care she went after my son she is lucky I didn't go after her."

I shook my head I looked at Emmett stirring lightly in his sleep, he rolled over so that he is hiding his face in his mother shirt, shifting lightly but I could tell that she was still upset. "Esme she was just upset with what he said about Jasper you can't blame her." I hear Esme scoff as she gave Emmett a gentle kiss on the forehead. "She attacked my little bear, she could have talked it out with him rationally but she chose to attack him, to hurt him even after he had no interest in fighting her, even after she bit him. What if Rose wasn't there to stop her then who knows how much pain my boy would be in." I shook my head and Emmett mumbled under his breath and his eyes slowly open, they were only halfway opened so I could only see a few golden flecks in his eyes. "Momma it's fine don't get so worked up about it."

She smiled at him sweetly before placing one more gentle kiss on his head "Got back to sleep dear you need to work that venom out of your system, statis is the best way to do that." I watched Emmett frown at her but nodded his head before going back to is it that he listened to his mother but me, I'm the one that he refused to listen to.

Usually, it's the other way around with teenagers and their parents. "I'm going to head up to the room and get some rest unless you want me to say down here with you." She smiled and nodded her head and I kissed her gently before moving her and Emmett over a little bit so that I could sit on the couch with them. Emmett doesn't make a sound as I moved onto the couch and watched the rest of the film withEmse.
