Hey Guys, sorry about the wait I was having some technical difficulties for a while but now I'm back writing again. As always let me know what you think!

I stared at my hands, wringing them slightly, an unnecessary movement that some what eased my mind. I thought back to yesterday evening, the note stuck to my office door, so elegantly written, 'Your office, 10am'; it could only be one person, Esme. It was make or break, my head was telling me make, my heart was saying break. I heard the stairs creaking, and sucked in a breath. I turned my chair to face the door, as she approached my office.
The door opened and a figure flowed through, closing the door behind them. Her face gaunt, emotionless, or maybe it was my imagination. I jumped up and pulled out a chair, motioning for Esme to take a seat. Taking my own seat back, I leant back and sighed "Esme" I began, desperate for anything she would offer me.
"Carlisle" She interrupted me, her voice cutting through the air. "I've been thinking about us, where we can go from here, and " She paused to look at me her eyes piercing mine, "I'm not prepared to lose you, our marriage over this" She finished, I let out a breath and leaned forward to touch her arm, "It was the biggest mistake of my life" I urgently gasped, taking hold of her hand and grasping tightly.
"There are no mistakes Carlisle, just actions and consequences" She answered, looking down at our intertwined hands. As my mind processed that remark, I realised we were soul mates, destined to spend eternity together, we were going to be ok...
"I think I should move back into the house" She spoke softly, meeting my eyes, "but when I say slow Carlisle I mean we are taking this slow".
"Anything my love" I replied, hoping my commitment was showing. A small smile appeared on her face and as she took her hand from mine, and rose out of the seat. I brushed past her to open the door, breathing in her heavenly scent, my Esme. Her body was flawless, so perfect, as she stood before me, reaching up to me she leaned up to my ear, and whispered "I love you", before smiling and walking out of my office and down the stairs.
The angels had sung, the words still ringing in my head 'I love you' I could hear her lips parting, the words singing from her mouth, caressing my ears.

I felt the atmosphere change as I passed Carlisle, the electric charge still as bold as ever, his eyes staring though into my mind, my soul. I was desperate for his touch, I couldn't control myself, I leant over and whispered in his ear, reassuring both of us, but the need for time still ran silently through the back of my mind.
As I ran back to the cottage, my stomach was in knots, he had betrayed me, and I needed to rekindle my love, the light inside my body. With my bags already packed, I smiled to myself as I picked them up and began slowly walking towards the house, our house. I let my mind wander into the past, the moment we vowed to care for one and other, for better for worse, richer and poorer, sickness and health, till death do us part...Carlisle was mine, I did not need to prove that. The lightening that surged through my body at the mere thought of my adoring husband told me that.
My mood dampened slightly at the prospect of keeping the spare room company but it was for the better, it would make us stronger in the long run. Lost in my own thoughts I leant against a tree, imaging my life without my family was not an option, I hadn't discussed Carlisle's infidelity with anyone but I knew they knew. The downside to being a vampire, we all knew everybody else's business! I began walking once again, before a growl penetrated my mind, Jasper. Oh my, I picked up the pace and ran, that was something a mother, step- mother or not, did not want to hear!
I silently walked up the path, the door opening before I had chance to knock, there stood Carlisle, tall, handsome and somewhat at ease. I managed a small smile, as he took my bags without uttering a word, "The spare room, please" I muttered, gagging his reaction, his face never faltered.
"Of course my love" He replied, as he whisked them away, closing the door behind me, I relaxed, I was home.

I crouched down, taking in the earthly smell, my eyes darting left to right watching the scene before me, Jasper, gripping the trunk of the 400 year old oak tree, wisps of his hair sticking to his face, his eyes glinting at the herd of deer beneath him. He shot forward, landing on the back of a small monk jack deer wrestling it to the ground, moving onto the next before it had chance to escape.
I watched his every move, the muscles flexing in his well structured body, he wasn't as big as Emmett, but he was more defined in ways no man could match, his perfect teeth tore through the jugular of four deer in total but not draining them, fore I would have this pleasure.
He sat back on his legs, still crouched, his hair now stuck to his face by deep red blood, He was at his most enchanting, the pull towards him was unbearable, painful even. I knew his thoughts, I had seen them, but I choose to ignore them, it was much more fun. Part of me understood how Bella and Carlisle got themselves into their predicament, it was an unwritten family rule that we didn't hunt together without our respective partners, and we knew the risks.
I gave up analysing the deception, it was in the past, I noticed Jasper tilting his head at me, confusion reaching my thoughts, I realised he was waiting for me to eat. I lurched forward and quickly drained a small deer, the blood swirling into my stomach, I heard a growl behind me, it was enough to send me pooling into heaven, I froze waiting for his touch, but I felt nothing.
I was confused, tried to look into his mind but he was keeping his plans from me, I slowly turned around, the vision before me was almost too much to bear. Jasper stood before me in all his glory, his large erection drawing my attention like a flashing beacon, I gasped, gazing at him as his slender hand began stroking his cock, I seductively licked my lips and groaned, I was so lucky he was such an exhibitionist. I crawled over to him and put my hands around his ankles, placing kisses on both feet, before looking into his eyes, love pouring out of them, it made my heart swell.
I dragged my lips up his legs, placing sloppy kisses all the way, I like to make him wait, the anticipation made for a fantastic ending.
I felt my body awash with waves of love as I neared his ever-growing cock. My mind blanked and I froze, another vision.
'Carlisle on one knee in front of Esme, her hands clasped over her face, her eyes dancing with joy, the whole family around, including Bella'
"Esme will you..."
"Alice, Alice... What can you see" Jasper spoke gently kneeling beside me, clothed once again.
"Sorry I, I, shit Jas, well that's never happened before" I chuckled, looking over at him, He forgave me, I already knew.
"What did you see? Are you ok?" He questioned lightly, He knew not to question me too deeply, and I'd tell him if and when I could.
"I'm fine, I'm definitely not, umm, yeah..." I sighed feeling guilty.
"Less of the guilt please Ali" Jasper laughed, pulling me to my feet.
"I saw Esme and Carlisle and well everybody, it was weird, it was just odd," I stated as I tried to make head or tails of what I had seen.
"Lets get back to the house" I continued, I wanted to talk to Carlisle about my vision. I grabbed hold of Jaspers hand and we started to run towards the house. I'm not sure whether Carlisle was hiding his plans or whether he was yet to decide them.
We slowed as we reached the house, I could hear Esme humming, I smiled internally, I hadn't been able to see her final decision, I'd been too preoccupied hunting with my Jas.
In fact I hadn't seen any real decision about the future via Carlisle, Whatever my earlier vision had been about, he must be intent on keeping it from me, I smiled coyly, I'd find out, I always did.
