The wolves and Renesmee slept in the car on our drive home from Seattle. Melody listened to her music without a sound coming from her mouth the whole way. She was disappointed that the trip had to end early, she loved the island.

When we pulled up to the house, Seth was still asleep.

"He can stay here tonight, it's late. Try to bring him in without waking him." Esme whispered.

Melody nodded in response and slowly tried to get him out of the car. She wasn't successful; he woke up so instead she escorted him to her room.

We all got the bags inside and unpacked them.

"I know that I didn't want to leave, but it's nice to be home." Esme said once she finished unpacking her makeup bag. She sat down on the end of the bed.

I walked over slowly. "Yeah, being back on your own bed." I leant down and planted a seductive kiss on her lips.

"The other one was my bed too…" she clarified, smirking.

I shushed her quietly while putting my finger up to her lips. I nuzzled her neck before placing a trial of kisses from below her ear to her collarbone. I paid special attention to the faint bite mark on the base of her neck where it met her shoulder. The bite that made her my Esme, for eternity.

I pushed her back onto the bed. A small smile was spreading across her face.

I continued kissing down her neck before returning to her lips. They were soft and persuading like always.

"No protests?" I whispered into her ear.

"Not tonight…"she breathed.

I laughed lightly.

"The longer you wait, the longer I have to change my mind…" she said.

"Message received." I smiled. She planted a hard but passionate kiss on my lips.

Esme and I walk into the living room to find everyone sitting there, apart from the wolves, Renesmee and Melody. They all looked up at us at the same time and a wide smile spread across Emmett's face.

He disappeared for a moment, and then returned with a whistle.

"That's going to take some time to fix…" she laughed.

"Don't." Esme shook her head.

"Oh you think your room is bad? You should see Alice and Jaspers…" he laughed even harder. Edward, Bella and Rosalie joined in.

When I looked at them, Jasper was looking down at his hands trying to stop his smile, and Alice was looking at the wall awkwardly.

Esme was gone from my side in a flash. When she came back she was smiling wide.

"You guys get to pay for that…" she joked.

"Yes Alice, at least you get to redecorate your room again…"Edward laughed, hearing her thoughts.

Renesmee walked through the door at that time. "What are we all laughing about?"

"Nothing." Bella answered too quickly.

"You know I'm not a little girl anymore, right?" she asked.

"Ness, even I'm having trouble hearing this." Bella replied.

That put Emmett in hysterics.

"We were just talking about Carlisle and Esme's room and Alice and Jasper's." Rosalie said.

Renesmee's eyes shifted in between us and Alice and Jasper. She ran up the stairs and returned a couple of minutes later.

"Boy am I glad I was asleep." She raised her eyebrows at me.

I rolled my eyes. Emmett was still laughing uncontrollably.

"You guys are killing me." He said in between laughs.

"Shall I go look at your room Emmett?" Jasper asked.

"Hey, we are not animals, unlike others in this house." Rosalie defended, trying to hold back her own laughter.

Edward laughed harder.

"Edward, I believe you and Bella went to your own home last night…" Alice said.

"Don't bring me into this." Bella raised her hands.

After the laughter subsided and Emmett had calmed down, Esme and I sat down.

"Emmett, Jasper and I are going hunting as a guy's weekend. Want to come?" Edward asked me.

"No thanks, I've got a lot of paperwork to fill out." I declined.

"Okay, well we better get going soon or we won't get there and back in 2 days." Edward said before kissing Bella.

Jasper and Emmett said goodbye to their wives and us.

Bella and Renesmee were making suspicious eye contact.

"What do you girls have planned for the weekend?" I asked the four of them.

"Well we're catching a movie tonight if you guys want to come. I guess we'll just hang out until the guys get back." Alice said.

"I think I'll pull out from that movie tonight. I don't really feel like it." Bella said.

"Okay…" Rosalie looked concerned, but didn't press on the issue.

Bella got up and walked upstairs with Renesmee trailing behind.

"What's wrong with her?" Rosalie asked.

"I don't know. She seemed fine a few minutes ago…" Alice said.

Esme decided to change the subject. "Where's Melody?"

"Reservation." The girls replied at the same time.

I kissed Esme on the cheek before getting up and proceeding to my office to start on my paperwork.

"Let's go shopping." Alice said to Rosalie and Esme.

They agreed and offered for Bella and Renesmee to come but they declined, as expected. Esme came in to let me know that they were going to Seattle and would be back later tonight.

I decided to take a break from the mounds of work and walked out from my office.

"Bella? Ness?" I asked. Their scents were faint and it was too quiet for them to be home.

I walked around looking for a clue to where they may have gone. Their phones were lying on the couch with Jacobs as well. This made me assume the worst.

I ran upstairs to the family room they were in before and saw a note.

It read:

Carlisle, I'm sorry but I couldn't let them come here. We'll be back in a few days. Don't follow; we're 2 steps ahead of you…"

I couldn't believe it. Bella had gone against my word, and Esme's and Edward's. I was instantly a mix of furious, upset and worried.

I got in my car, deciding to follow anyway in the hopes that I will still have time to stop them. I texted Esme and I drove so that she and the girls would meet me at the airport. I texted Melody and told her to stay at the reservation for a few days until I said it was okay to come home.

She obeyed, but was very upset that I had left without her.

I texted Edward next, but I doubted he had his phone with him. I tried the others too anyway.
