Esme POV

It had been 3 days since Rose had told us what James did. The courts had appointed us their temporary guardians until the hearing, which was postponed because Victoria and Royce had run off. The police went to search their house and found their stuff missing.

Both Rosalie and Jasper were having nightmares and every night since they came to stay with us they have slept with Carlisle and I. To say I hadn't got much sleep lately would be an understatement, I was not only physically drained but emotionally too. Many times in the middle of the night Rosalie and Jasper would wake up screaming and crying for Kate and there was nothing I could do about that, I couldn't bring their mother back.

I was currently in Carlisle's Mercedes with Edward heading for to help one of my newer clients with her interior design. I left Carlisle at home with Rose, Jasper, Emmett and Alice he told me he couldn't handle five kids so I took Edward, (the most behaved out of the kids) with me.

"Look Mommy a Bobo!" he shouted pulling at his car seat restraints to get a look at the car. He had a new fascination with Volvos every time he saw one he would scream and shout "Bobo" because he couldn't quite pronounce the word.

"I see it sweetheart" I replied chuckling.

"I wanna Bobo Momma" he said.

"Maybe you can have one when you're old enough to drive."

"Yeah!"

"Remember while were here Mommy's at work" I said as I pulled Edward out of the car "you have to be a good boy."

"I not be good I don't get Ice Cream?" he asked.

"Exactly, so if you want Ice cream you have to be good."

"Yes Momma" he said.

I swung him into my arms and rung the doorbell. The lady was in her late 30's her brown hair was in a tight bun on her head. "Hello Esme" she greeted. "And look who do we have here?" she said noticing Edward.

"Edward Cullen" he replied turning on that charm I had accused his father of using so many times.

Edward was dead asleep by the time we got home. As I pulled into the garage I heard an ear piercing scream bounce off the walls of the garage. I quickly grabbed Edward out of the car and settled him against my shoulder before walking toward the house. I lay Edward on the couch so I didn't wake him and sprinted upstairs toward the sound of the scream.

The scream came from Rosalie's room. She was huddled in the corner in only her underwear, Carlisle stood on the other side of the room trying to get her to get dressed. As Jasper and Alice approached her she let out another scream and buried her face in her knees.

"Rose, sweetheart" I soothed as I slowly approached her "what's wrong?"

"Don't hurt me" she whimpered burying her face further into her knees. I suddenly understood, Carlisle reminded Rose of James and she freaked when he tried to help her get dressed for bed. I got close enough to rub my hand soothingly over her back. She relaxed slowly her breaths not so harsh. I set her gently on my lap and she shuddered before burying her face in my shirt "Mommy" was the only thing she kept whispering. I motioned for Carlisle to bring me her clothes but as soon as he got close she started screaming again. He smiled sadly handing her clothes to Alice.

I slipped the shirt over her head but left the pants for later knowing she wouldn't leave my arms for a few hours. I moved from my position against the wall cradling Rosalie in one arm and climbing onto her bed with the other. She stretched out on top of me her hand still gripping my shirt tightly. She eventually fell asleep against me still whimpering occasionally in her sleep. Carlisle came in a few hours later "It's after midnight, why don't you take her to our room and at least change" he said gesturing toward my skirt.

I pulled back the comforter on our bed a laid rose down before heading toward the bathroom to take a shower and change. As I got out of the shower I heard a quiet hushing noise. I poked my head out of the door to see Rosalie now awake laying on Carlisle who was whispering to her, he seemed glad that she wasn't pulling away from him. Rosalie turned her head toward me almost as if she knew I was watching. Her eyes (which had started looking more like violet than blue) reflected the pain I knew she was hiding and in time I hoped that the pain would go away.
