CPOV"GIVE ME MY STUFF BACK!"
"Haha! NO WAY!"
"EMMETT GIVE ME MY STUFF BACK!"
"COME AND CATCH ME!" Emmett shouted ever so playfully. I could hear footsteps thunder across the floors and something break. If I'm correct, it's probably a lamp…once again. I heard a growl of frustration then a loud thump, as Emmett came flying down the stairs. A fuming Heidi came down the stairs all the while kicking Emmett. I sighed and shook my head.
"Now will you give me my stuff?" Heidi growled. Emmett laughed and handed her the object.
"Hey dad!" He cried making his way over to me. "Hey short stuff." The door opened and Belle walked in. Her long raven hair had somehow managed to turn a golden Strawberry blonde in the past 2 years. She was soaked to the bone. Not surprising. After all it was raining pretty good outside.
"Emmett I'm not short, you're just freakishly huge." She snorted. I had been amazed. Belle had taking a likening to Emmett and could always be seen around him, or Rose, or Jasper. I guess it was because he had saved her from that accident two years ago. It was hard. During the first year she only stood around me, Emmett and Rosalie. She hid every time she came to the hospital from me, she cried any time Jasper, or any other male came near her. The worst was the fact how she woke up every night, screaming, how she couldn't get a good night's sleep after that accident. After awhile it got so bad, we had to take her out of school. She would isolate herself from all the other kids, she fell asleep in class, only to wake up screaming. And she cried every time one of her teachers came near her.
"Hey dad. I'll be up in my room."
"Wouldn't go in there just yet." I swear I saw steam coming out her ears. You see Emmett and Rosalie had a little bit of a problem. They were a little to intimate. Their favorite place happened to be Belle's room. It always started with Emmett stealing one of Belle's things so he could prank her, then Rosalie would come in. Next thing I know I hear Belle yelling and screaming. She's even attacked them.
"Hey short stuff. It's not like that. It's just that Heidi was chasing me and we were wrestling and, well, there are some huge holes in your wall."
"How many?" She asked. You could practically see the venom dropping from her mouth.
"About four or five."
"WHAT!"
"Yeah. You see I was trying to dodge her so she threw a TV, a bed, a radio, and a desk."
"And where did the fifth hole come from?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"Me and Rosalie." Belle was just seething with anger. She stormed up to her room. We all heard screaming of frustration, a crash, a thud and then a yelp. Belle came back down with some plaster in her hands. Something tells me we're going to have to move again.
"There Emmett. Now your room looks exactly like mine. Only more holes and no floor." I heard a crash. Next thing I knew there was no more right side of the house. I sighed. Emmett and Rosalie basically had the whole right side of the house. Knowing Belle, she had probably ripped some plaster out.
"I'm going to go pack." Belle said ever so innocently.
A year later...
"You're an idiot!"
"You're stupid!"
"WE'RE GOING TO KILL YOU! JASPER WHITLOCK CULLEN! YOU TOO EMMETT!" I sighed.
'Here they go again.' Was peace not sacred anymore? It seemed like Belle was always getting into a fight with Jasper or Emmett. Emmett just shrugged it off and laughed. Jasper however was affected by her anger and started shouting back as well. As if on queue, Emmett started roaring with laughter. I don't know why I even brought them with me. Oh yeah they forced themselves on me.
"Are they always like that?" Kimmie, my secretary, asked. She was a vampire like me. I had met her when we lived in Alaska about 2yrs ago. Her family had been attacked and all of children had been turned into vampires. Luckily they were just some tall 13yr old boys. I nodded in shame. She laughed. "Your family humors us and the other employees." I smiled my bright smile. She was the only one who didn't swoon over me. Maybe it was because she actually had a life. "I wish my family was like that. They're just perfect little angels. I like drama. But the good kind."
"There's good kind?" I asked.
"Yeah the kind that just makes you laugh during and after." She chuckled. "Anyways there's a young woman here. She thinks she broke her leg." I cocked an eyebrow. How does someone think they broke something? A leg for that matter. I mean you do have to walk on it, so it should be pretty obvious.
I sighed. "Bring her in." She stuck her head out the window and yelled for her. A moment later a teenager around the age of 17 came in. She had long curly caramel colored hair and beautiful brown eyes to match. Even though she had a broken leg, she still managed to walk somehow.
'She's brave.' I though as she sat down on the stool. I picked up her file. 'Hmm Esme Anne Platt. Cute name.' I saw her look around shyly. "Well good afternoon Esme. What can I do for you?" I asked in my professional voice, which Belle says sounds the same as my love tone. She says I used that same tone every time I tuck her into bed, or console her. Anytime I show that she is my number 1.
"Well , I-"
"Please call me Carlisle."
"Okay Carlisle. I think I broke my leg."
"Well we'll check and see okay." She nodded. After doing some reflex tests, we found that it was indeed broken. "Just stay off of it for about 2-3 weeks and you should be fine. I'll prescribe some medicine to help with pain. Here ya go." I handed her a slip. "Be safe."
"I will Dr-Carlisle." She smiled and left. 'Gawd she looked like an angel!' I thought.
"OOH! Somebody has a crush on their patient." Kimmie teased.
"I do not."
"Whatever." CRASH! "Sounds like Someone just broke your office window. I sighed. Why can't my family ever have any peace?
"EMMETT YOU'RE BEING AN A-"
"BELLE!" Kimmie giggled as I sighed. "Wanna trade families?" There was another crash and a yelp.
"At least it's just us." Thank God.
3 Years later...
BPOV
I used to watch from the shadows. He had been seeing her everyday for 3 weeks. Why? Didn't he love someone else? Didn't he love...mom? Oh yeah. She was dead. I felt hot, angry tears well up in my eyes. Why would he betray her like this? Why? If he truly loved mom he would've sulked and stayed with me, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, Heidi, and Jane. Not with her. Esme. That was her name. A woman no older than 17. I pondered over this. Why would he fall in love with a human? Then again why did he fall in love with my mom? So many questions, not enough time. What really broke my heart, yet it made my frustration and anger, was how he was so devastated when they moved just a few weeks later. It was turning into summer, and the clouds would be going away in this lovely town of Columbus, Ohio.
We ended up going back to Alaska, where I saw all my friends, who were ever so eager to welcome me back into their group. While I was away hanging out with friends, Jane and Heidi were out back in Volterra, Jasper was out researching, and Emmett and Rosalie were spending all their time exploring every part of each other's body, I noticed that Dad seemed kind of down. Jasper always said that even though there was a smile on his face, there was emptiness inside of him. It was like he had left his body mentally and spiritually. Kimmie often said that he would just stare off into space when he was done with a patient, or would get this teary-eyed look after he met with women. He put a smile on to comfort us, but really I think it's just an act.
We ended up moving to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. It was later, when I was 15 that I decided to do something. But what? 1875 at the bottom of the ocean. I had been taking a swim when I saw her. She looked the same only taller. Her hair had grown past her shoulders. I looked at her as she floated downstream. Should I save her? Why? Why save a woman who would make my father sad. Then again it wasn't her fault. As I dragged her to safety, I made a mental note to blame all this on dad. "For dad." I said and sunk my teeth into her. "For dad." I whispered.
Years Later....
Esme POV
I miss him. I miss him. It's been three years. I'm sure he was married. I married 2 years after that. I became pregnant and fled to Pennsylvania. I lost my baby boy. I jumped from a cliff. I went through horrible pains. All the while thinking of him. I woke to see a girl standing over me. She explained. "I am a vampire. Now you are too. For my father." I followed her home. People asked where she was. She had been gone for a whole day. I saw him. He saw me.
"For you daddy." we smiled.
"Thank you Belle." Yes, thank you Belle. I was finally reunited with my one true love. I was reunited with Carlisle Cullen. The man/vampire of my dreams. Not to mention my family.
we sat there. Sobbing together. As Father and daughter.
