Esme POV

I sat at the dining table, flicking through a newspaper, we never used the dining table for well.... Dining, but it was often used for family disscusions. Well, more arguments than discussions. It was quiet, too quiet. After having a house full of vampires and the drama with the Volturi, every thing seemed so..... Normal. Emmett, Edward and Jasper had gone hunting, and alice had dragged her sisters and niece shopping. My god was upstairs reading, but I knew he was as distracted as I. The door creaked open slowly, and Carlisle entered the room, I felt a weight lift of my shoulders, just seeing his face. He came and started to massage my shoulders, just gently with the tips of his fingers. But I was angsty today, not in the mood for polite. I stood up and grabbed his tie, pulling him to me and kissing him with almost violent force. i pushed him against a wall, my hands twisted in his hair. Carlisle (always the gentleman) gentle untwined myself from him, he sat me down on his lap and waited. he was paitient, but he did not have to wait for to long, i started to sob, gently at first, but very soon i was crying into his shoulder but crying no tears, i wailed my anguish. he sat and waited while i ranted and raved. Once i had calmed down i blurted out "I was so scared for them, my children, my grandchild and you. You all could have been killed!"

"It was scary, but the Volturi are gone, the threat is gone, no-one was hurt." He said with his gorgeously husky voice. he understood. I was not angry, i was still in shock, from when Carlisle stood forward and spoke to Aro, from when it almost came to a fight. I was a mother to them, i would not have another child die, i can still recall what i did last time. i shuddered at the memory of the fateful day that i jumped off the cliff, having nothing left to live for. I lent into my husbands shoulder,feeling at peace for the first time since the whole drama started. Carlisle lifted my chin and kissed me again, this kiss was soft and sweet, but showed the love that bond our two souls together forever, always, eternally.

Sorry that this chapter has a few grammatical errors, i just wanted to get this story out, to Esme, her family mean everything.

I would like to recommend the song fearless by Taylor Swift, i was thinking of it when i wrote this story.
