About two months later…"Stay still Esme, unless you want me to dress you in a hoop skirt I can certainly dig one out in that backpack of mine!" Alice pulled the pin out of my side and stared at her creation with triumph. It was absolutely gorgeous, Alice didn't even need to ask me for permission, or what it was going to look like she just one day came over and said quote "I'll be doing your dress whether you like or not, well you can't NOT like my dress…whatever I'm just going to do it ok?" I stared at my reflection in the mirror and down to my shiny engagement ring.
Alice followed my gaze and smirked, " 'Tis a beautiful sight eh Esme?" My eyes widened and meandered back to the dress, "Oh no, it's nothing compared to this dress," she laughed, "I know, I know hold the applause." Indeed, the dress was adorned with simple white beads and a flowing tail. The bodice was elegantly done, with only the most paramount care. Alice had worked for almost a straight week to month and a half on a dress that I (out of all people) would be wearing.
She groaned loudly, "How am I gonna get all three little / big men / man into their tuxedos with no squirming." I smiled, "Tell them, no…ALL of them that they're going to get ice cream afterwards." She smiled as I continued, "It works…every time." I sighed just as loud as Alice had; it was already two days before the wedding. Alice looked up at me from her hem work, "What?" I smoothed my hair down, "Everything is set in place Alice, the decorations, the food, even the lights but what I really want is a small wedding that's not too fancy you know?"
She nodded looking back down at the dress, "Well, Carlisle was left in charge of that Esme." I grimaced at the top of her head; "I am sooo lucky for that." She rolled her eyes, "You're the one who agreed to it missy…" I laughed, "Alice, Alice, Alice." We spent a few minutes in silence; I stared as Alice finished the last stitch. A soft knock came from the door. "Mommy, Edward's daddy had to leave for the hospital…can you come downstairs and play 'wif us?"
I threw an apologetic glance down at Alice who looked back with pursed lips of frustration. She flicked her wrist similar to what I had done at the hospital, "Good-bye Esme." I carefully stripped out of the dress and donned on my purple blouse and dark skirt. I left Alice with the dress in her lap, finishing the final touches. Grabbing Emmett's hand, I sighed loudly into the paneled hallway, hoping Alice had heard me. Edward was sitting at the kitchen table finishing his bowl of ice cream; he smiled at me when I entered.
"Hmm your daddy has been feeding you ice cream again, hasn't he?" Edward laughed, "Obviously mommy." I grinned back; Edward had only started calling me mommy a few days back, AFTER Carlisle had announced our wedding to them both. Emmett had a little trouble adjusting to Carlisle as a father figure; it was either Edward's daddy or Carlisle. I tried to talk to him numerous times, but they didn't seem to soak in well enough. Emmett took his own seat by Edward and scooped up his melting soup, "Mommy," he stared into my eyes nervously. "W-w-when is daddy coming back home?" I smiled proudly from ear to ear, "Soon, it was just an emergency 'kay?"
He nodded slowly and looked back to Edward. I sat down next to Emmett and stared at the trees through the glass wall. A lopsided grin formed on my face when I heard the front door slam with a bang. My heels echoed on the wooden floor as I paced over to Carlisle. I threw my arms around his neck and buried my face into his lab coat. He pushed his cheek into my hair and laughed, "Honey I'm home!" I stepped back to fiddle with his tie, "You, fed, the boys, ice cream…again?"
He looked away and smirked, "Really?" I nodded. "Come see for yourself." He trudged along behind me into the kitchen. Emmett looked up from his soupy swirls, "Hi daddy," Carlisle dropped his briefcase in surprise and smiled, "Hey there Emmett what's up?" Emmett shrugged, "Nufin…oh 'tanks for 'da ice cream by 'da way!" I threw daggers at my future husband and frankly their future father, "Oh, so it wasn't you…mmkay I REALLY believe you now."

"Esme, must you start hyperventilating all the time I'm going to take the UTMOST care in dressing your men." I glared at her, "Don't poke them to death now." She grinned wickedly and nodded, "Will do future Mrs. Cullen." I shook my head, "Have fun…" she shut the door with a wink. From the outside I could hear the boys running away from the fleet footed Alice and her needles. I laughed and turned around to walk down the hallway.
The kitchen seemed deathly empty, no boys clinking their spoons, no fiancée talking about his day at the hospital. Charles scarily came to mind, good luck with that Esme. I chuckled startlingly and gripped the edge of the counter making my knuckles turn paper white, "I don't care about you now moron, get lost." A laugh erupted from behind me, "Is that how you really feel about me Es?" I flailed around to face Carlisle's sarcastic frown, "No," I smiled seductively quickly changing the mood "You should know that…"
A growl suppressed by a faint chuckle came from his throat as I pushed him against the wall, "Am I really what you were waiting for?" he laughed and cupped my face. "You're a hopeless romantic." He stood there giving me an Eskimo kiss when finally; he crashed his lips into mine. I pushed him away and laughed, "You really need to get better at that." He growled again, "I'm sorry, would you like to show me?"
"Ahem, well this is awkward…" Alice stood five feet way looking at the floor with Emmett and Edward at her side. I inhaled and peeled Carlisle from the wall, "Alice…how'd the dressing go?" she sighed, "Ask them yourself…" I turned to the boys now, "Well?" They shuffled their feet back and forth it was clear that no one was going to speak. I huffed, "Well when either of you two develop their guilty conscience come talk to me." Alice thanked me and pushed the boys back towards the stairs.
Turning back to Carlisle with my arms crossed I frowned. "Who do you think will be first?" I could see him thinking, "Truly, I think that Edward would be first…he's always been the sensitive one." I narrowed my eyes, "Are you saying Emmett will just blow this off?" He noticed my change of mood and enveloped me in an embrace, "No of course not Esme, why would you think that?" My eyes turned to the ceiling, stupid sweet talker.
Alice ambled back down the steps and laughed, "Carlisle it's your turn for torture now." She winked, "Don't worry I'll bring him back soon…for whatever." Carlisle huffed and pushed her back towards the stairs. I smiled and waltzed back into the kitchen, which was as quiet as the last time. "Mommy could you come here for a second?" I looked over my shoulder, by this time I couldn't assume it was just Emmett. Surely enough, by Carlisle's word it was Edward standing at the kitchen open.
"Come in Edward." He looked at the floor and shambled in. When he got to my side, he climbed into my lap and clawed at my curls wordlessly. "I'm 'sowy mommy, Emmett's sorry too. We kept 'runnin away from Alice, and didn't get 'nothin done. She says that if we, ummm coop-erate 'den she can get done faster." I sighed and stared at the back of his dinosaur t-shirt, "You know Edward, I'm not sure if I'm the one you should apologize to. Although, I am happy you came and told me the truth thank you." His familiar grin fashioned back on his face as he threw his arms in the region of my neck. "I 'wuv you mommy!"
I hauled him off my lap and shooed him in the direction of the stairs, "Don't forget to knock first." He shoved his hands in his pockets and walked towards the stairs. I could hear him dragging up the stairs grudgingly. Soon Carlisle had appeared where Edward stood smiling, "I told you so." I stuck my tongue out and stood up fluidly to walk up to him. "Is tomorrow really the wedding? Why aren't we rushing like others?" he grinned and led me to the couch, "Because we aren't like most others, confessing our love over a suicide attempt doesn't seem that normal Esme."
I swooned at how he always said my name, "Not normal at all is it?" Foolishly, I tangled my fingers through his tresses and gave him an endless passionate kiss knocking him down into the couch. Gasping for breath I hurdled myself off the seat with crimson cheeks. "I'm sorry," he laughed at my innocent face, "Hmm, no that was absolutely, perfectly, wonderful." Slowly, I got up off the floor and back into his lap. "So how'd the fitting go?" he scowled and I giggled. Tomorrow is the wedding already…
O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0oo0o0o0
I stood in the narthex of the church alone in my gown. The butterflies in my stomach were turning into bees that have been angered previously. Alice's flats clicked softly as she saddled up to me. "I told you that you would look flawless, don't judge me!" I laughed nervously, "Yeah thanks Alice, its wonderful." She rolled her eyes, "Calm down Esme please, we don't want you to pass out before the altar." She looked down at her watch and chuckled, "Five minutes, I'm gonna go sit down now. Unless, of course you don't-." I incised into her sentence, "No you go, just wish me luck thank you very much."
She tittered, "You don't need it, it'll be fine Esme trust me." She made a full pirouette and headed toward the far door, I was alone again…Five minutes was such a long time to wait for a wedding to take place, the metal doors stood monstrously in front of me with a menacing stare that didn't fit a church. I breathed in deeply and closed my eyes when the sweet organ music filtered through the eaves in the door. They unfastened as I opened my eyes, my gaze scanned the enormous crowd of friends and family some of which reminded me of the doctors at the hospital, although none of which were Angie, I groaned and began to walk forward…
Two little flower girls paved the way with delicate white roses, the pews were simply decorated with bouquets; looking up at the ambo Carlisle had already assumed his position as dashing groom. The greatest day of my life. I gave him my biggest smile and stepped onto the altar…the priest began.
Halleluiah…the angel choirs began to sing… After our original vows and the exchange of rings, Carlisle lifted my veil and smiled, his kiss was so less forceful this time, but sweet enough to last forever…
O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
The swarm of people that were once settled into the brick church fell into the parking lot in an eruption of cheers and rice. Carlisle laughed and grasped me by the waist pulling me into the white limousine with cans rattling in the back. He kissed me wistfully now, with less force than before. "You've been practicing haven't you dear?" I giggled at my own pet name. He smiled, "My love, do we actually still have a party after this?" I laughed as he nipped at my upper neck but frowned, "Yes, and we HAVE to go…it IS our party Carlisle." He mimicked my frown, "Alright, but then we are going to float home in bliss." I agreed and leaned in for another fervent kiss…take that Charles, are you having fun in hell?

"Bye mommy! We'll see you later!" Tears were already fixed into my eyes as the boys began their first day of the second grade. Like most of the other mothers out here I drove away looking back to see if they were ever going to run back to the car for a second hug. But no, they didn't turn around as I drove away, they laughed along with their friends as new brothers.
A new family…~Carlisle POV~
Today, being Thursday was Esme's day to run over to the hospital for lunch. I jogged down the stairs into administration, where sadly Angie worked. Plastering my counterfeit grin on, I walked past her. "Oh, Carlisle can you help me with this patient over here?" I dry-walled my confused look and crooked smile, "This isn't my ward Angie, ask Dr. Cooper." She bat her eyelashes, "Oh I'm sorry, listen I wasn't doing anything for lunch would you-." I laughed as Esme approached me and wrapped her arm around my waist with a kiss on the cheek. "I'm having lunch with my wife today Angie, sorry."
I could hear her grumbling and her stare boring into my back, but I just gazed into Esme's eyes and chortled. "You are thee most amazing woman you know that?" she laughed.
"I know."
