For the next two weeks the Cullen kids took misbehaving to a whole new level, twice already Carlisle had been called into the school to deal with the misbehaviours of his children. Carlisle's resolve not to tan his children's bottoms was being tested every minute of the day and it was severely weakening. However every time he thought about it he was pushed back to the last punishment he had given and he recoiled from the idea.

Carlisle sighed as he heard Alice and Rosalie going at it, he expected arguments occasionally but this was getting out of hand. Plus his little one wasn't one for arguing at all, but then with her mate grounded and it mostly being Emmett's fault he supposed it made a little sense.

Carlisle knew what the right thing to do was, but he couldn't trust himself to do the right thing. The right thing to do would be to turn all five of his misbehaving children over his lap and blister their bottoms – only Bella seemed to be able to behave herself at the moment, but that might be because she was stuck at home all the time. He couldn't do that though, not after what happened last time he tried to discipline his children. How could he ever trust himself again after that? Yes the children claimed to have forgiven him, but he didn't believe that was possible.

Carlisle winced when he heard one of his daughters shove the other into a wall. He shook his head and knew he had to intervene, but he wasn't sure what he could do. Grounding didn't seem to work, loss of privileges just made them argue with him, and extra chores were ignored. His mind and heart told him he needed to spank them, but his mind and heart also recoiled at that idea.

Carlisle had almost decided to just let them work out their frustrations with each other without his input when he heard his bedroom door open. He was up out of his seat in a flash and flitted out of his office to his bedroom, stopping his mate. "Let me handle it Esme," he requested. He couldn't have his mate in harm's way again; he could never risk losing control like that ever.

Esme looked up at Carlisle challengingly. "Will you handle it?" She asked. She knew in her heart he wouldn't – Alice visions had told them all that – but she really wanted to prevent the final bit of the vision from having to happen.

Carlisle frowned at his mate. "Yes. I'm not going to spank them if that's what you are worried about but they will be punished."

Esme sighed and backed back into her room. She was hurting so much from being kept away from the children, but she didn't know how Carlisle would react if she broke his rules. She doubted he'd lose control, but she did worry he'd leave and insist she did as well.

Carlisle watched as his mate backed back into their room before turning and heading to the hallway outside Alice and Rosalie's rooms.

When he got there he saw Emmett restraining Rosalie and trying to calm her down, with Edward and Bella having hold of Alice trying to calm her down and Jasper in the middle with an intense look of concentration on his face. Rosalie was covered in plasterboard and there was a Rosalie shaped dent in the wall behind her, due to the plasterboard Carlisle couldn't be sure of her physical shape. Alice was covered in scratches but luckily no bite marks, although both their clothes were in ruins.

Carlisle took a deep breath in and out before levelling his two fighting kids with a glare. "Alice, Rosalie, my study now. Emmett, Jasper, get them something to change into and then join them in there," he ordered firmly.

The fight instantly seemed to drain out of Rosalie and Alice, allowing Jasper to finally relax. His six kids all shared a confused look and Edward slowly shook his head as everyone focused on him.

"Now!" Carlisle snapped. He wasn't happy about being disobeyed so frequently and wasn't sure what else he could do.

Everyone jumped and Emmett let go of Rosalie before dashing to her room to grab her a comfortable change of clothes. Edward and Bella let go of Alice and stepped back obviously they were being dismissed and although Edward didn't detect thoughts of spanking in Carlisle's head he didn't want to be in the house if it happened. "Come on love, let's go hunt."

Bella nodded and turned and ran with Edward out of the house.

Carlisle took a few deep breaths to centre himself and went to wait by the door of his study. He was waiting for Jasper and Emmett to come with the clothes because he still wouldn't allow himself to be alone with his princess and little one. When the boys arrived he followed them into his study and closed the door.

Rosalie and Alice were standing as far apart from each other as possible, both of them growling low in their chests and glaring at each other.

"Enough!" Carlisle commanded.

Alice and Rosalie immediately straightened up and gave Carlisle apologetic looks.

Carlisle shook his head at his two errant daughters. He could see the scratched on Alice already beginning to heal. He wanted to check them both over for injuries but he didn't trust himself that close to them. "Jasper, Emmett, please check your mates over for injuries that need my attention." Carlisle walked over to his desk and took his seat behind it.

Emmett and Jasper nodded and quickly checked their mates over. Luckily none of the injuries were serious enough to require Carlisle's attention.

Carlisle nodded when they were done. "Rose, Alice, you may get changed now, if you want to go back to your rooms you may, but I expect you both to come straight back here and not to say one word to one another," he decreed.

Alice sighed. "I'll stay here." She took the clothes Jasper had chosen for her and quickly got changed into them.

Rosalie frowned. "Can't I have a shower first Carlisle? I'm covered in rubble and dust. I don't want to ruin a second outfit."

Carlisle considered this and then nodded. "Okay, you may go take a shower, but I expect you back here in ten minutes."

Rosalie nodded and turned stiffly and left the office going back to her room and heading for her bathroom.

Emmett followed his mate out of his father's study and waited in their bedroom for her. When she came out of the shower he handed her the clothes he'd gotten out for her. Emmett didn't say anything, truthfully he wasn't sure what to say; he knew realistically most of the argument had been due to Jasper's influence on the house hold, but his Rosie and Ali had really been going at it with each other.

Rosalie got changed quickly and ran a brush through her hair before heading back to Carlisle's study.

Emmett followed his mate and closed the door to Carlisle's office behind him.

Carlisle looked at Alice and Rosalie and motioned to the front of his desk, "take a seat girls." Despite normally only dealing with one child at a time in his study Carlisle had two chairs just in case Esme wanted to join them for support.

Alice dropped her head and walked slowly over to the left chair and sat on the edge of it. She folded her hands into her lap and stared down at them. Now she'd had time to calm down she found herself feeling guilty.

Rosalie tossed her hair over her shoulder and sat down in the chair with a huff. She had time to calm down, but she was holding onto her anger, rather than dealing with her guilt. Rosalie looked out the window and twirled her hair around her finger absently.

Carlisle cleared his throat. "Eyes on me please girls," he ordered.

Alice looked up and met Carlisle's eyes venom that would never fall shining in them. "I'm…" she started.

Carlisle knew Alice as about to apologize but he raised a hand to hold her apology off, he didn't want to hear it just yet.

Rosalie sighed and slowly turned her head to look at Carlisle, meeting his gaze with a glare. She wasn't in the mood to play games, she was fed up with Carlisle's resistance to be close to them and although she didn't want a spanking, she would rather that than the continual tension in the house.

Alice saw what Rosalie had decided and kicked her ankle and shook her head.

Carlisle's eyes flashed warningly. "I said enough Alice, continuing to fight in my study is really not in your best interests," he warned sternly.

Alice gulped and nodded. "Yes Sir, sorry," she apologized weakly.

Rosalie's eyes flashed with guilt and she nodded. She knew Alice would know she was nodding to her as well

Alice sighed in relief when the future solidified once more. Rosalie's decision to try and provoke Carlisle into spanking her made the future all blurry and unclear. Now that Rosalie had changed her mind and accepted the course they were on the future was solid once more.

Carlisle stared at his two miscreants trying to work out what he was going to do with them. He needed to do something that would be as much of a deterrent as spanking had been. A little voice in his head told him he should just spank them because that was the right deterrent, but he forcibly shoved that little voice aside, listening instead to the much louder memories of his baby girl's screams. "Would you care to explain what that fight was about?" He asked. He raised his eyebrow and waited for one of them to start.

Alice and Rosalie stared at each other challengingly. After a minute Alice huffed and crossed her arms across her chest. "Fine. I'll explain. It's Emmett's fault my Jazz is grounded and Rosalie won't accept that, she says Jasper was the one that started the fight between them when it wasn't it was Emmett and she's just really pissing me off," she snapped.

Rosalie growled. "Oh yeah blame it all on Emmett, Jasper was the one who made it go from playful wrestling to an all-out fight," she snapped back.

Carlisle slammed his hand down on his desk. "Enough! For your efforts you are both grounded for the week, and I want your credit cards and car keys. Those you'll have to earn back," he decreed firmly.

Alice's eyes went wide. "Please Carlisle; don't take my credit cards, please. I'm begging you," she pleaded.

"Don't argue with me Alice. Go fetch your credit cards and car keys, I won't ask again," Carlisle ordered.

Alice whined but got up and dragged her feet out of Carlisle's study and to her room. She grabbed her purse and car keys before heading back to Carlisle's study.

Rosalie stayed seated with a slight smirk on her lips.

"You too Rosalie, go fetch your keys and credit cards," Carlisle pressed firmly.

"But I need to drive everyone to and from school," Rosalie supplied smartly.

Carlisle narrowed his eyes. "I think you'll find Emmett is perfectly capable of driving you all to school, or I can have Jasper drop you off and pick you up," he countered. "Now don't make me repeat myself."

Rosalie scowled but she got up and fluidly stalked over to her room and grabbed her purse and car keys.

Alice returned to the study, head down, and dragging her feet. She slowly approached Carlisle's desk and placed the keys to her Porsche on the desk, clutching her purse to her chest. "Please don't make me Carlisle," she pleaded.

"Now Alice, unless you never want them back," Carlisle threatened warningly.

Alice sighed and opened her purse and took out all her credit cards before putting them on the desk.

Rosalie returned to the study and put her keys and cards down on the desk folding her arms across her chest and glaring at Carlisle.

Carlisle ignored Rosalie and placed the cards and keys into his desk draw before locking it. "Alright, you may go now. Any more arguments and your grounding will be extended and you risk never seeing these cards or your keys again," he explained firmly.

Rosalie turned and stalked out of the room going to her bedroom and slamming the door.

Emmett hurriedly followed his mate, entering their room and slowly closing the door behind him. "Let's go hunt Rosie," he urged softly.

Alice took hold of Jasper's hand. "Let's go hunt."

"Stay near the property, remember you're all grounded," Carlisle reminded.
