Chapter 10

Carlisle brought over groceries for Masen and Leah, crossing through their yard with his arms full. Masen had been expecting him and opened the door so he could get in.

"Anymore bags in the car?" he asked.

Carlisle nodded, "A couple."

Leah snickered as he entered their house, "You don't have to do this for us."

He shrugged with a smile, "Yes we do."

"Still mad at us?" Masen asked as he walked in with his hands full of bags. He smiled at his father and placed them on the counter.

"I was never mad at you," Carlisle told him with a laugh.

"A little bit," Masen disagreed with a lighthearted tone. He looked over his shoulder and smiled at him.

Leah shook her head, "Ignore him."

"I am," he said with a laugh.

"We got you guys some stuff," Leah told him, "Where'd we put the clothes Mase?"

"Oh, you didn't have to-" Carlisle started.

"You guys do too much for us already," Leah said, cutting him off, "Sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt you."

He laughed again, "It's alright."

Cassandra reappeared in front of Masen in the kitchen with a three different bags, each with a different logo, "Here you go Pop."

"Guys," Carlisle said, "Don't spend your money on us."

"It's not for you," Masen told him.

"It's for the baby," Leah finished his sentence with a smile, "It's the least we could do."

"Here you go," Cassandra repeated, holding the bags up.

"Thanks," Carlisle said to her with a laugh.

"Welcome," she said, then skipped out of the room.

A beeping sound came from Carlisle's pocket and he reached in to find his phone. He read the screen for a text message that Edward sent that read, Rose & Emmett, big argument.

"Who's that?" Masen asked.

"Edward," he replied simply, then took a deep breath.

"Something going on?"

Carlisle shook his head, then tossed his son the phone so he could read what it said. He and Leah then exchanged glances and Masen tossed the phone back to Carlisle.

"He kind of thought this was going to happen," Masen said.

"They're going to have to work it out on their own," Carlisle told him, "And come to a conclusion. I know they have differing views on things."

There was a moment of silence before he walked over and said his goodbyes, "Come by the house whenever."

"Well, it probably won't be today after reading that message," Masen joked.

He nodded and waved, then headed home to prepare for what was taking place there.

Edward stood outside of the front door on the step and tried not to smile at the argument taking place in the house. Carlisle walked up to him.

"What's going on?"

"Well," Edward started, "Let's just say that Alice, Jasper and Nicole did it right by pretending they had to hunt when Rosalie first started yelling."

"I wish they could just talk it out," Carlisle said quietly. He entered the house with Edward just behind him.

"Upstairs," he said, pointing in that direction.

The two of them made their way to where Emmett sat on the couch with Rosalie standing angrily above him and Esme attempting to mediate the situation. Bella stood quietly with her arms folded across her chest.

"How many times did you say that you'd do anything to make this possible for us?" Rosalie shouted, not acknowledging Carlisle or Edward when they walked in.

"But it already is possible, Rose," Emmett protested, "We can have another kid whenever we want."

"Not whenever we want," she shook her head, "Whenever there's an eclipse."

"And they happen, like, twice a year. Why's that so bad?"

"Because this is how it's suppose to be. Deciding when it's right for us, not just taking chances on the moon."

"Rose..." he took in a deep breath and looked over at Carlisle, then Edward before he fixed his gaze back on Rosalie's, "Right now, we have the best of both worlds. We don't have to worry about anything all year except for those couple of days. No matter how bad you want it, we're not human. We're just not. Humans sleep eight hours a day. Humans have nine month pregnancies, and frankly I don't think they have anything close to the animalistic instincts we all have. It's not the same for a human couple."

"He raises a good point," Edward said.

"Shut up, Edward," Emmett said angrily and glared over at him.

He smiled and looked at Bella, who made her way to him.

"Don't say anything," she whispered to him.

Carlisle and Esme both looked at each other, and Esme shook her head.

"Look," Emmett continued, "I just think that it could potentially lead to lots of unplanned things, that's all."

"There are things you can do to prevent that," she told him, never changing the hard tone of her voice.

"We don't even know if things designed for humans even work," he told her, shaking his head.

Each of them continued to overemphasize words, ultimately outdoing the other.

Esme looked at Emmett and could tell he didn't want to argue anymore. Rosalie, on the other hand, was not even close to done.

"You said if there was a way-" she began again.

"There is a way," Emmett said calmly, cutting her off.

They stared at each other for a moment before Rosalie rushed out of the room without another word, brushing roughly past Edward as she did.

Esme went after her, gently touching Carlisle's shoulder when she passed by him.

"I told you this was going to happen," Emmett said when he knew Rosalie was well out of ear's range.

"There's not another eclipse for awhile," Edward told him, "How'd it come up?"

"General discussion." He outstretched his legs and put his hands behind his head, "Not for nothing, Carlisle, but what are you guys going to do? What are all the rules to what they wished for? Like, every single time is it guaranteed to have a baby? And I'm not trying to be funny. I'm totally serious."

Carlisle ran a hand along his forehead then placed both of his hands on his hips and paced the room, "I don't know."

Edward looked over to him, "Was Billy involved in the wish?"

He could see that he was reading his mind, "Yeah."

"Maybe he'll have the most accurate answers. He could give you the details."

"Maybe," Carlisle nodded. He seemed to be contemplating Emmett's questions as he walked around the room before taking a seat across from where Emmett sat.

"You can understand where I'm coming from, can't you?" Emmett asked, leaning forward, "I have some pretty valid points."

Carlisle didn't want to take sides, or have their discussion come back to Esme in a different form that could possibly upset her.

"You have made some valid points," he told him, still deep in thought. "But, you and Rosalie need to sit down and have a discussion. Bring up these things to her in a way that will make sense, and sound like you've really thought it through. Don't let anger fuel it, and don't bring up a point in a way that looks like you're just trying to prove her wrong. If that makes sense."

Emmett shifted his position again and leaned back against the couch cushion, "It makes perfect sense. I just-" he shook his head, "I don't know how this is going to get resolved right now."

"It might not right now. Wait until Rosalie calms down a little. When she's ready, then sit down and talk."

The four of them sat in silence for a few minutes, and the ticking on the clock began to sound louder as the seconds went by.

"I'm going to hunt," Emmett said, standing up from the couch. He crossed through the room and left the house rather quietly.

"Alex and Michael are still over at Renesme's?" Carlisle asked.

Bella nodded, speaking for the first time in awhile, "Yeah."

"Talk to Esme first," Edward suggested, reading his father's thoughts again, "Then both of you can go down and talk to Billy together."

The clouds shifted in the late afternoon, casting darker shadows in the already dimly lit room.

"Yeah," Carlisle said with a nod, "Yeah. I think that'd be the best option."
