Chapter 2: Operation is a go

Carlisle's POV

When I finished my shift and came home I was a little worried when I heard my kids upstairs whispering in hushed tones. As soon as I stepped inside they fell silent and in a blink of an eye were there in front of me.
"How was school?" I asked, placing my medical bag down.
The shrugged but all had big grins on their faces.
"It was better than most schools," Rose said, smiling. I looked at her suspiciously. Rose didn't usually like school.

"What did you do?" I asked, looking to Emmett. Edward snickered along with Jasper and Emmett rolled his eyes.
"We didn't do anything," Emmett sighed, throwing his hands up in the air.
"It's a ligament suspicion," I told them and they laughed.
"We are just happy to be back in Forks and school wasn't so bad," Alice grinned. I nodded and they asked me about my day. I didn't go into great detail but told them most of it.

They disappeared up stairs to do their homework and spend time with each other. I know they worried about me, not having found my mate yet. I had been alive for around 300 years. Edward was the first of who I changed. He was dying of the Spanish influenza. Rosalie I found next, dying in the street after being raped. Rosalie found Emmett being mauled by a bear and brought him to me to change. Jasper and Alice joined the family next, having found their own way to us.

Bella was changed last after Edward found her and the two fell in love. All of them had fallen in love. They all at one point in time come and talked to me, worried that I hadn't found a mate. I headed to my office and began filling out paper work. I heard the kids head out side. I looked through the window and saw Emmett and Jasper wrestling.

Alice's POV

While Emmett and Jasper staged a wrestling match so that Carlisle wouldn't hear us, we discussed Esme.
"So tell me your vision again," Bella said.
"I couldn't tell where it was but Esme and Carlisle were holding hands and both of them looked so happy," I said, a grin on my face.
"I can't believe it," Rose said, shaking her head. "Carlisle, falling for a human."
"We were all human once. Edward fell for Bella when she was human," I said.

"You know, Jasper and I do want to be a part of this conversation," Emmett said, ignoring Jasper. Jasper grinned and tackled Emmett. A loud crack echoed and they dented the ground. We winced.
"Don't damage the house," Carlisle called from inside the house. I rolled my eyes at Emmett and Jasper.
"How are they going to meet?" Edward asked. Jasper and Emmett bounded over, eager to hear. It was funny. Jasper didn't often get into this type of thing. I loved him for doing this.

"So we all agree that we need to get Carlisle and Esme together," I asked. They nodded.
"We need a code name so Carlisle doesn't find out," Emmett grinned.
"I like you thinking," I grinned back. Rose leant up and kissed Emmett, smiling brightly.
"How about Operation MFL," Bella suggested.
"MFL?" Jasper asked.
"Mate For Life," Bella grinned.

"I love it, sweetheart," Edward said, kissing her head.
"Does everyone agree to Operation MFL?" I asked. Once again they all nodded.
"Excellent," I said.
"First, we need to see if Esme is perfect for Carlisle," Rose said. "Carlisle deserves the best."
I was starting to be pulled into a vision.

Carlisle was walking through the school halls, to the cafeteria with all the other parents. The teachers were explaining to the parents what would be covered during the year, request of the parents. Carlisle looked to Esme and stared. She smiled and Carlisle smiled back. Gently he took her hand and shook it.
"I'm Carlisle Cullen."
"Esme Platt."

"I know how they are going to meet," I cried, dancing around. Jasper grabbed me and sent waves of calm towards me. I giggled.
"They are going to meet at a parents night at the school. Tonight," Edward explained to everyone.
"We should tell him," Bella said.
"Are you crazy?" Rose hissed. Bella rolled her eyes.
"Not about Operation MFL but about the teacher/parent night," Bella sighed.

We raced inside and found Carlisle in his office.
"There's going to be a teacher/parent night," I said.
"I know, I just got the call," Carlisle smiled.
"Can I please dress you?" I asked, pouting. He chuckled. I squealed as I 'saw' him finally agree.
"I'll go pick something for you now," I grinned and danced to his room.

Esme's POV

By popular demand of the parents, there was to be a parent teacher/parent night where the teachers explained to the parents what they would be covering this year in their classes. I dressed nicely, black tights, a black plead skirt, heels and a purple top, covered by a black coat. I drove to the school in my little car and headed to the staff room. All the other teachers were there. I smiled at them and made myself some tea.

"Another night," Mr Varner sighed and I chuckled.
"It helps the parents and in turn the children," I smiled. I loved teaching. I loved that I was helping the students.
"Let's get this over with," Mr Varner sighed.
"Did you have big plans?" I teased. He gave a bark of laughter.

We walked down the halls of the school towards the cafeteria. It was the biggest room where all the parents could fit. We headed in together and I felt slightly nervous addressing all the parents. Sometimes they could be quite hostile.
As we walked I accidently bumped into someone. I felt like I had hit a brick wall. I felt cool hands steady me and I turned to come face to face with a man who looked like a Greek God. He was blonde, tall and lean and handsomer than any movie star I had ever seen.

"I'm sorry," I gasped.
"Not a problem. Are you OK?" He asked. His voice was smooth like velvet.
"I'm fine," I assured him, smiling.
"I'm Carlisle Cullen," He said and held out his hand. I took it and his hand was ice cold. I felt an electric shock shoot up my arm.
"Esme Platt," I told him.

He smiled at me and I felt my heart speed up. I dropped my hand, feeling flushed.
"It's nice to meet you," I said.
"It's a pleasure to meet you," Carlisle said.
"Esme," Mr Varner said, touching my arm. I looked to him. "We need to be up front."
I nodded. I smiled at Carlisle and followed Mr Varner.

Carlisle's POV

Esme Platt. She was beautiful. Soft and rounded with long caramel curls. She the most stunning human that I had ever met. When I took her hand I felt an electric current pass through my arm. I heard her heart beat speed up and I smiled at that. Her blood smelt sweet and wonderful and I was thankful for my great self control. Mr Varner came up and told Esme they needed to be up front. I smiled at her and she smiled back.

I couldn't keep my eyes off her. The way she held herself and smiled all the time. When it was time for her to talk her voice captivated me. It was smooth like honey and beautiful. I could tell that all the kids would love her to be their teacher. She had a way of making everything sound interesting and fun. She finished and smiled at everyone and stepped down.

After many parents went and talked to the teachers and many of the parents stood around and talked to one another. I saw Esme trying to slip away. She caught my eye and smiled. I smiled back. She walked to me looking shy.
"Hello again," She smiled.
"I enjoyed your speech," I said. She smiled sheepishly.
"I wasn't too boring, was I?" Esme asked.
"Not at all," I assured her.

She smiled in relief.
"How are you children finding Forks?" Esme asked. She seemed generally interested.
"They are enjoying themselves," I said, now wondering if my Esme had something to do with why my children actually likes school this time.
"I'm glad," Esme smiled. "It must be hard moving so close to the end of their schooling."
"They're settling in," I said with a smile, my heart swelling with her concern.

"I hope they enjoy my class," Esme said.
"I know they do," I told her and she beamed with pride.
"I had better let you get home to your children then," Esme said, seeming reluctant to say those words.
"Who knows what they have done to the house while I've been gone," I said, slightly serious.
Esme laughed, a beautiful, enchanting sound.

"Hopefully I'll see you soon?" I asked.
"I hope so," Esme smiled. I smiled at her and we both turn to leaved.
I got in my car and drove home quickly. I was there in about five minutes. I walked inside and found the kids doing various things.
"How did it go?" Bella asked, closing her book.

"Very well," I said. I saw Edward smirk. He had obviously heard my thoughts about Esme. I tried to conceal them but Edward's smirk grew more pronounced. Bella smiled and went back to her books. I hurried to my office to sort out my thoughts about Esme.

Esme's POV

Carlisle left and I felt that I could breath normally again. I had never been affected by a man like that before. He was so kind and beautiful, like his children. His hands were so cold to touch. There was something different about him. Like he was from a different era. All his children spoke differently than the teenagers today.

I shook my head. Pondering this mystery would be unhealthy and he was so beautiful where as I was not. He wouldn't be interested in my like that. I sighed. But I was already enthralled in the mystery that was Carlisle Cullen and I had a feeling I already knew what he was.

Thanks for reading and please review!
