As Emma and Carlisle saw the grocery store in sight, Emma was thinking about what was low budget and not going to cost her new family too much. As they walked into the store, so many people were staring at them. "Ignore them Emma. They think wrong a lot," Esme assured as she kept her mind away from it. While Carlisle picked out fruit, Emma saw the milk she normally drank and was debating asking for it. She didn't want to burden her new family.

As Carlisle saw her looking he smiled and put a couple cartons in the cart. "Don't say a word about burdening me, Emma Cullen. You know it's needed for you and I'd do it again any day," he warned. As they continued, Emma picked up her drinks that she needed. Esme smiled too since it was quality family time. As they finished their shopping, Esme heard a very audible growl.

"Hungry Emma?" She nodded and Carlisle smiled in relief that he was finally looking out for her needs. He put all the groceries in the car and then drove over to Carver Café and grabbed a chicken burger and put it on Ella's lap in a takeout container.

"Eat up when we get home. We're another 5 minutes," he answered. She nodded and as they got inside she went to the table with the burger and began eating it. He was relieved that her hunger was being taken care of first. As she finished she put the container in the garbage and then went to her room for a bit. She needed some space.

She was reading until she felt her head hit the pillow and fell fast asleep. All she could dream about was how nice her new family was, but then it was able to turn dark and manifest her very quickly. All she could see was darkness and taste the heaviness of the room. She saw that everyone was so busy going about their normal lives and when she tried to talk it was as if she didn't exist.

As she woke up she felt the dampness of her forehead and clung to her blanket a little tighter. But finally Carlisle and Esme came in and Carlisle seemed protective and hugged her tightly. He didn't need an explanation to know what happened.

"You're okay. I'm right here," he whispered as she hid her face in his shirt.

"I'll go put on some tea for her," Esme assured and walked downstairs.

"How about we go downstairs? Take a little break?" Carlisle was trying to keep her mind distracted. She nodded and then followed him down the stairs to where she could see that Esme had picked up one of her favorite teas.

"Emma," Jasper called. She went to him and as he pulled her in for a hug she for once felt the safeness that she should have felt in a big brother's arms and she gladly returned it. "In a week do you want to go up north and meet some other family?"

"I'll decide later," she answered.
