1969

Carlisle POV

Wilton, Minnesota

When we moved this time, I made sure enroll the kids into the Bemidji College, while I worked at the North County hospital. Esme was also volunteering at the hospital.

The kids picked the classes that they wanted to take. I heard nothing but good things from their teachers.

It had been 2 months and we had three days off from working at the hospital, when Bella walked in the front door with two unknown vampires. One was a short girl and the other is a tall male that were holding hands.

"Hello Carlisle, my name is Alice Brandon and this is my mate Jasper Whitlock. I have a talent that allows me to be able to see decided futures. Jasper has the talent to feel and effect emotions. I can see that Bella has a talent, I am just not able to pinpoint what the talent is. I think we will be able to see more aspects of her talent later." Alice said, all in one breath.

Well that was a shock that my little girl has a talent, I am looking forward to helping Bella learn and grow her talent.

"Welcome to my house. May I ask what your diet is?" I asked, needing to know if we were going to have a problem.

"You may, we eat only animals just like you. I have never touched human blood and nor has

Jazz. We were both changed in 1901 by the same sire. We don't know who changed us and we don't need to know because our sire gave us eternal life together. I knew we were going to meet your family, we just had to wait for you to pick Wilton. Then I waited a month to approach Bella to gain her trust." Alice said matter of factly.

"You both are welcome to stay at my house and become a part of our family. If you are willing to obey the family rules." I told them.

"Thank you Carlisle, we will not break your rules and I know what will happen if we do." Alice told me, unwavering in her responses to my questions.

2010 July

Carlisle POV

Forks, Washington

We had been in the same house for 40 years. It was the perfect house for us. Bella found it for us and Emmett had dubbed it the vampire free house. The walls were a foot thick and we could close the whole house up so that there was no entry. It was located an hour away from the small town of Forks. It has 12 rooms, including 6 bedrooms, a kitchen, a games room, a pool, a theatre room and a library.

Alice came bouncing down the stairs.

"Dad," I love that they were happy to call me dad, it made me feel needed.

"Yes Alice, what can I do for you?" I asked her with a smile.

"We need to start school this year." She informed me with a determined look on her face.

"Okay Alice, which school?" I asked, knowing not to second guess Alice by now.

"I need you to decide to send us to Insight School of Washington. No, that is not right." I stayed quiet because I knew she was watching the result that my decision formed.

"Thank you, now please pick Forks High School." I did.

"Yes that is where we need to go Carlisle." Alice said gleefully.

"Kids, Esme, please meet in the dining room." I said as I walked in and sat down while waiting for everyone to arrive.

"Alice has told me that you kids need to start school this year. You are all human ready so I don't see a problem. I am going to start Bella, Alice and Jasper as freshmen, Rosalie and Emmett as sophomores." I see that Alice has her hand up waiting for a turn to talk, I nodded my allowance.

"From what I have seen in the vision I had when talking with dad, nothing happens for two years it's when Bella, Jasper and I start our junior year, that something big is going to happen to the family. I would also like to ask permission to shop for all your school things, from clothes to school supplies." Alice said, always eager to shop.

"You don't have to ask me, baby." Jasper said, wanting to make his mate happy.

"Sure, I don't see why not." Bella said, not minding either way.

Alice looked to Rosalie and Emmett and waited for them to make up their minds. She squealed, so I guess she got the answer she wanted.

"Off you go kids, have fun." Mum said playfully.

Alice POV

I pulled Jasper with me into the next store, I knew how I wanted to dress everyone. Rosalie was going in nice form fitting jeans and silky tops that I knew Emmett would love. Emmett, I was making dress as an everyday jock. Jasper would be true to his Southern roots. Bella would be dressed in jeans and simple t-shirts in all shades of blue, I know the reason for that would show itself later. I also wanted to buy set of clothes for an unknown person, who was a tall male, that's all I could see from my visions at the moment.

I walked in to American Eagle and started to just pick up things that I could see in Bella's closet. There were mainly plain t shirts, some graphic tees, there were also over shirts, both long and short sleeves. Jeans were the most common, there were colors from white to most being black, but they were all skinny cut.

I stayed in American Eagle for jeans and long skirts. My tops were solid peasant type tops that I knew Jasper would love to see me in.

After the shopping marathon, I was ready to curl up with Jasper in our bed in the VF house.
