Edward's POV
Alice was thinking: "Everything had to be perfectly perfect. We were all too stressed to act like normal humans, and it scared me. We were not. Having babies would not kill us. Bells and Edward had. I was scared, incredibly scared and I wanted them to accept us so much as parents. I mean, Rosie also incredibly wanted them to be accepted as parents, and it was so important for us. However, we were vampires. Not normal humans, people who naturally ate humans, but we did not. Even Jazz got used to it. He would be so beautiful as a father. We waited until he was completely immune to human blood to postulate as future parents." There was suddenly a knock on the door. She ran in a human-speed (I could compare it to a turtle-slow motion, right now), and opened it, smiling widely. The lady was nice-looking, brown haired, blue eyed, everything, she was normal.
-Hello miss, come on in, you must be Clarissa?
-Yeah, it is me, I am here for misses Alice Cullen and Rosalie Hale as well as sires Emmett Cullen and Jasper Hale.
-Well, I am Alice, this is Rosalie, with Emmett, her husband, and this is Jasper, my husband. This is Edward, my brother and Esmée, our mother, and these two are Carlisle, our father, he adopted us when we were young, and Bella, Edward's wife. These two are Renesmée, Carlisle and Esmée's real daughter and her boyfriend, Jacob.
-Hi everybody, sorry, I might not remember you all, she said thinking: "What a weird family, why is the son sitting with the mother and the father with the son's girlfriend? They are all good looking though." I smiled at her thought.
-Miss, we are pleased to meet you. You want a cookie? Offered Rosalie, who tried to hide her stress, hardly doing it. Would you prefer to be alone with us or with everybody?
-Well, I actually have to ask everybody questions so why not do it here and now? Thanks for the cookies, she added taking one, followed by my daughter and her boyfriend, as she thought: "Their house is very clean and safe for children, the things are well classed and no danger is attainable for a young child."
Indeed, everything in the house was classed perfectly. The DVDs were in alphabetical order, the vases were always filled by flowers, the piano was always clean, and everything in the living room was perfectly clear, net. Same thing worked for the kitchen. Everything was too high to reach for a child, but I must admit that it was our fun to climb to take the things. Also, even in the bathroom, the pills were hidden; every dangerous thing was too high to be in reach of any not-vampire-without-stair people. As I thought, her next step was the bathroom, she asked politely to go pee.
-What does she think? Alice asked in a low but super-fast tone.
-She believed that we are weird, but then, she believed that the whole house seemed to be secure for children, thinking that it was "safe for children", which is funny…
-Edward Cullen, do not say anything more, Esmée asked me putting her hand on my back, soothing gently thinking "They do not need another source of stress."
-Sorry girls, you are the most perfect people.
The lady was thinking: "This house is the most perfect house I have ever seen. I wonder if they all have an obsessive-compulsive-disorder or what, it is impossible for something to be that clean. Well, actually, all the women but Bella and Esme are at home during the day, so I guess it is normal. Well, these two girls are going to be the most-perfect and attentive mother I have met, for sure. They both said they waited long to have babies, that they tried hard, it seems to me like they are ready." I smiled widely. "Eddie, tell us, please! Rosie is going to have a heart-attack", Emmett thought before burst into a huge laugh, remembering she had no heart. "Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God!" My little sister was screaming in my head. I looked at her, growling gently, making her understand that she would be giving me a headache if I could possibly have one, but, fortunately, monsters cannot. Before I could say anything, the lady came out of the bathroom.
-Before I can take my decision, I need to visit the house.
-If you would follow us, my two "sisters" answered.
She followed them greedily, impressed by the simple beauty of our house. "What is that?" She wondered, seeing our table of graduation hat, I smiled lightly. "Wow! This house is so wonderful! They are so pleasant. And the daughter seems to be very well grown, polite, happy… If they were good brothers and sisters for the last years, they are probably going to be good. However, it is weird that they all live in the same house. Whatever! There are two spares rooms (My old bedroom and one that was already there), the kids will probably have their own bedroom, it is perfect. This house is so beautiful, and everybody here is too."
-Ladies and gentlemen, she said after having asked all of her questions, would you be ready to have your children in two months at the most?
-Of course! Emmett answered as the girl covered their mouth with their hand, not wanting to yell their joy out loud. We would be ready today!
-Well, right now, you are not the priority, but you are one of the best families I have ever met and I am very grateful that I met you to adopt. You are going to have the boy, in two weeks. His name is Charlie, and he is one year old. Your little girl, who is six months, will be ready to be given in one week to two months. Her name is Victoria, she said as we all gasped beside my daughter. However, if you have bad memories with her name, you can name her other way, she added quickly as she saw us stiffening. Have a good day, ladies and gentlemen.
-Thank you, miss, I hope you are going to come back with our babies soon enough, Alice said as the lady smiled. Were her thoughts agreeing with what she was saying?
-Definitely, she left the bathroom, her mind was almost made.
-How will she react when she will see you are not together anymore? Rosalie was afraid. I mean, it is not very good that our family is splitting up.
-She guessed that we were weird. She found it weird that we sat this way. She will not care, I would think, she was way too impressed by our family and house.
-This is a good thing, I guess, Rosalie said. However, can you wait until we have our kids to split up? She asked timidly, which was weird coming from this presumptuous girl.
-I would not mind, however, I am staying here, not in the house.
-Good, I will agree, but just for you guys, Bella answered looking at Rosalie, Alice and their boyfriends.
-This is fine, Esme said finding the idea not really appealing.
-If you were not the children I love, I would say no, but it is ok, Carlisle answered, and I saw in his mind he was really suffering for the situation.
We definitely hurt them a lot. Having done that hurt me a little. Don't take me wrong, I love Bella, no matter what. However, there was always a kind of attraction with Esmée, even though we never proved it to each other before two years and a half ago. We did never plan it, it just happened. We loved each other, but never admitted it. I loved Bella with my life. However, being a mother, we parted a little, and a man has needs… even when she slept, Bella would not want it, after two years, when Nessie caught us once, and started asking questions. She did not understand what her mom was doing sat on me, naked, and then, we did not do anything for at least two years. She was really reluctant after, never allowing herself to reach the climax, and it is something very not satisfying for a man. I know I seem like the jerk in this situation, but Esmée participated so willingly and she was so satisfying, letting herself to reach the climax ten times if I were that good. I love Bella, but I love Esmée and she even gives me pleasure. I hope I will still be friend with Carlisle and Bella, they are really important to me, but I will not be mad at them if they won't want us to be. Esmée was thinking: "I so did not want to hurt them that much! Ok, unfortunately, I cannot say that I am regretting anything, but I regret that they had to suffer. I hope, weirdly, I admit, that they will be good together and that they will become a couple. They are so cute together, and Nessie deserves a good father, what Carlisle clearly is." The thought of Nessie made me turn my thoughts toward her: "I cannot believe it! I mean… how fucked up is my life going to be now? I mean, my father slept with his "mom" and my mom slept with her "father-in-law". Of course, it was not really momma and Carlisle's fault, their animal overtook them. However, I cannot understand why dad did that! He seemed to be so happy with Momma! Dad, if you are listening, I am sorry to think this way, she thought as if she felt me inside her head, stopping thinking for two minutes, but then: Jake! Stop doing that! It feels so GOOD! If my dad hears me, I will be dead tomorrow morning! I love you so much! Come to my bedroom tonight, I'll have a surprise for you!" I growled, looking at the couple of younger people. Nessie blushed deeply when she met my gaze, understanding I caught their supposed-to-be-private conversation. She understood I was listening to them. "I am sorry… but the surprise was not wrong dad! I swear! However, I did not want to let you hear that what my boyfriend's doing to me feels that good. Nonetheless, I heard very well that what Esmée did to you really felt more-than-THAT good. You loved it so much, you did not even think about the consequences. Anyway, there is not the point… I hate it so much when you listen to my thoughts! Momma is so lucky to have this shield against your looking-forward-to-seek-the-truth-all-the-time mind!" She thought as she looked angry. I looked around the room, and I saw that Alice was still glowing, Carlisle, he was smiling gently, but his thoughts were surrounded by a wall, so I guessed Bella was protecting him. She looked like she was not that happy, like she felt bad, and I could not see her thoughts, obviously. Emmett and Rosalie now thought the same thing: "We should make-up to celebrate this…" they loved each other, cutely, but they were really linked a lot by their sexual instincts. Alice was singing in her thoughts "We are family, I got all my sister with me…" I turned my thoughts to Jasper. He did not look at ease. "Way too much lust around here! I'm hard and have no good reason! And Alice, jumping on and off me! It is even harder to do not pin her on the floor and fuck her hard! I definitely wish Edward was not reading there…" I chuckled and he looked at me sheepishly. The conversations in their head were so funny.
-Alice, stop singing, please! I love your happy voice, but it is high and I am not for that right now… I asked her, she looked at me apologizing, and I smiled at her.
"Sorry brother. I know your situation with Bella and Esme is hard, however…
-I know Alice, thank you… I said as if she had been nice, hiding my anger, because I knew that she was about to think something like "you deserved it a little" or "you looked for it, didn't you?"
I felt Bella. I read her thoughts "How could you do that to me, Edward Cullen?! I loved you! I mean, it is not that bad, I might be happy with another vampire-man someday, maybe even your father, but you, making love in MY bed, with YOUR mom, and with OUR daughter under the roof, it is completely insane and crazy! No, but you do understand Edward, that I cannot forgive you because you have taken away the innocence of our daughter?! She might not have done that if she did not hear you and Esmée, moaning together."
-Isabella, I would like to talk with you…
She got up and followed me. We went to the house. She was so angry it was disturbing.
-My name is Bella, Edward, for the second time today. What do you want?
-I do not want you to tell me that!
-I did not tell you ANYTHING! I only thought it.
-You lifted your shield, sweetheart, it means…
-NEVER call me sweetheart. NEVER AGAIN! She said as her eyes became black.
-Fine! Sorry, I was using it not personally. It means that you wanted me to hear that, it means that you believe that it really is my fault if our daughter is not a… pure girl anymore. I said, not able to say not virgin about my daughter.
-You are responsible, I am sure, she growled. Who else?
-Jacob Black, maybe? I said sarcastically. I know he is your ex best friend, but he is still holding a part of responsibility within this situation, am I wrong?
-I know he has a part of responsibility in our daughter's not-virgin-anymore, but she would not have asked him today if she was not that disturbed by the situation she saw.
-I know I disturbed her, Bella… I feel so bad about it! She was not supposed to be back yet. Usually, she goes at Jake's after hunting…
-Edward, why did you do that to me? Why did you do that to her? She said with a trembling voice, sounding as if she was about to cry, what she physically could not do.
-I did not want to do that at first. I feel bad about what I did. It felt so good… I could not stop. Esmée and I needed change…
-Why? What did I do wrong?
-You did not do anything, it is…
-It is not you it's me? Is it what you mean?
-Yeah, it is what I mean, but it is true, Bells.
-Bella, Edward, nothing else. I loved you, but I changed. When we… we did not have anything anymore together… you did not want Nessie to hear us… you kept staying away from me, even at night, when she was sleeping. Your freaking power to try to protect everyone you loved made you loose me. I could not deny my need anymore. Every time I hunted, I felt it and I needed to get it out. Once, Esmée and I hunted together… and what happened with you and Carlisle today happened to me and Esmée.
-Oh, she said surprised that our relationships could connect with each other. However, I was not with you anymore, and I tried to resist.
-Oh, and you believed that I did not? I tried, Bella. I tried so hard, it almost killed me, and she tried to. However, there was human blood in the air and it was either we were hunting a human; either we were accepting to betray you guys… We decided that human lives were not good to be spared, and that only once, it would not hurt you… well, it would, but…
-Only once, Edward?! It was not only once…
-I know very well, Bella. I am sorry for that. I know it makes you sad. We couldn't not do it again. We had to. It was so fulfilling, so good! It was crazy…
-Edward, what do you want from me now?
-I want you to be my friend, even though I hurt you… only if you want to…
-Well, it would be the best thing to do, because we have a daughter together… Just… let me a couple of weeks, please…
-Fine… tell me when you believe you will be ready.
-I do not know… two, maybe three weeks?
-Good…
-We will try, Edward, try, to be friends… I cannot tell you if it will be a success.
-Fine. We will try, Bella. I wish it will work.
-Me too. Now, we cannot be angry with Nessie because she became a woman. It would be stupid, we should be happy for her… I have to explain myself.
-There is nothing to explain. Jake used her!
-Stop that! If he wanted to use her, he would've had before! I love her, you love her, let us accept her decisions, her choice… she is in love with him, and he will always love her.
-I know, but… they love the act so much! You did not hear them! It is so disgusting, Bella!
