Chapter 2: Beach Fun
Carlisle's POV
It was a nice sunny friday morning and I was getting ready for my shift at the hospital when the phone rang
"hello Carlisle Cullen...oh I see! Thank you very much" I said as I hung up the phone
It turned out that they didn't need me today...that meant I could spend time with my darling wife Esme again...I wonder what we'll do
I ran downstairs
"guess what Esme! I got the day off" I cheered
"I know...I heard...so I thought we could go to the bearch" Esme said taking out a basket with towels, sun block (irony isn't it) some unbrella's and books
"I'd love to, let's go!" I said taking my wifes hand and went out the door
Esme's POV
My husband was so excited to spend another day with me...I couldn't blame him...two days this week
"I brought a surf board with me! I always wanted to try surfing" he said with a little twinkle in his eye
"okay then honey...let me put the sun block on first" I said wiping it all over Carlisle
"no!" Carlisle teased me acting like a big kid
"now are you sure you haven't been spending too much time with Emmett, his childish ways seem to be rubbing off on you" I said giving him a kiss
"nope...I was only teasing you darling, now can I surf?" Carlisle asked impatiently
"I don't know..."
"please!" Carlisle asked with a puppy dog pout
"oh okay...since you said please" I said rollings my eyes
My husband could be a big kid when he wanted too
"yay! I love you darling" Carlisle said giving me one more kiss before getting on the board
Carlisle's POV
I got on the board excited to try something new, it was a nice view...a new breeze went through my hair
suddenly I saw a wave coming for me
"uh oh...this can't be good" I mouthed to myself as the wave hit me and knocked me off
"Carlisle!" I heard my wife scream
"I'm okay..." I said walking out as if nothing happened
"if you were human you wouldn't have been if you were human" Esme wailed
uh oh...
"shh...darling...everything will be already...I'll stop surfling if it will make you feel better...let's cuddle on our beach blankets" I suggested
Esme looked up and smiled at me
"so...how are the children's week in school going?" I asked out of casual conversation
"not bad...Jasper aced his history test again, Alice and a girl at school are planning a school fasion show, Edward has been accepted into a gifted school program, but he wants to stay with us, Roaslie aced her dirvers ed course, Emmett got into a bit of trouble and is having trouble in class, the school councilor diagnosed him with adhd" Esme said
"wow...adhd...our son...I'm such a bad father" I started to dry sob
"oh no you're not Carlisle! What makes you think you are?" Esme asked
"all this time Emmett had adhd and I was blind to see it...Edward has been accepted into a great program and I hear this from you, I'm not always there to hear the news" I said
"if you were a bad father you wouldn't have even asked about the children" Esme said
"you're right...as soon as the children come home I'm giving Emmett a big hug and tell him how much I love him, and he is going to get the finest help in school, I'll even take time to help him myself, with Edward I'll hug him and ask him if he's sure about his decision, heck I'll hug all my children" I said
"good for you dear" Esme kissed me
For the rest of the morning we talked, built a sand castle and swam
(at home)
"Emmett! Daddy's home" I said grabbing Emmett and squeezing him tight
"um...I love you too dad" Emmett said feeling a little akward
"I heard about your adhd...I'm so sorry I wasn't arond you enough...but I promise from now on we'll be spending alot of time together when you're not in school...doesn't that sound more fun then playing those silly video games" I said with a smile
"tons of fun" Emmett said but then smiled
Jasper just chuckled
"oh and Jasper! Congratulations on aceing that history test...that is my smart boy" I hugged Jasper tightly too
"thanks dad...I love you" Jasper said hugging me back just as tightly
I can easily tell that it meant more to Jasper that I gave him attention then it did to Emmett, I think I'll be spending some more time with him as well
"Edward...my beautiful son...I'm so proud of you for being accepted into that music program, are you sure you want to stay here?" I asked kissing him on top of the head
"I'm sure dad...I mean why would I want to leave a great father like you" Edward said hugging me
"and don't ever think you aren't great dad...we all understand why you aren't always around us...even Emmett" Alice said
"thank you sweetie...but I promise to make more of an effort to be around...in fact...when is your fasion show?" I asked
"oh thank you daddy" Alice said squeezing me
"no problem...I'd do anything for my family" I said
