Esme POV
I come home from work doing what I love. I was helping model a new business building. They couldn't figure out proper layouts, so they called me. I was more than happy to help.
I was expecting the house to be in one piece. How could three grown men get in trouble babysitting our little puppies? I truly loved Tuffy, Mimi, Coco, and Bentley, but sometimes they could get a little wild- Especially when Coco and Bentley were playing a competitive game.
As I turned the corner, I saw the house was still standing. But there was quite a lot of commotion coming from the backyard. I could tell all the kids were home, but were more excited than they usually were. Usually Emmett was the only one this loud, but now everyone was.
I shut off the engine and got out of the car. I pulled my purse out of the passenger seat and walked up the path to the house. I was going to go around to the backyard, but I figured it might be safer to check it out through the window. I walked through the front door and realized something.
There was no window.
"WHO BROKE MY WINDOW?!" I shouted, but it came out as half scream, half growl. The laughter from the backyard stopped immediately. I walked over to the no-more window and looked outside. Everyone was in their bathing suits –Rosalie's was much too revealing, as always- and there was a giant Slip 'n' Slide set up. I would bet that it was all Emmett's doing. They were looking up at me from the ground, not one of them seeming worried. Emmett of course had a big goofy grin on his face.
"Get inside." I told them. "And put some regular clothes on." I said glaring directly at Rosalie.
I walked up to mine and Carlisle's room and sat down at my desk. I sighed a heavy side and looked at the wall clock. Carlisle should be on his lunch break right now. He never actually had 'lunch'; he usually used it to catch up on some extra work. I was praying there wasn't an emergency he was called in for. I dialed his work number. It rang once.
"Dr. Carlisle Cullen." He said in his formal voice, the way he answered his work calls.
"Hello Dr. Carlisle Cullen." Carlisle laughed.
"Hello, Esme. Is everything alright?" I usually didn't call him during his work hours.
"Other than the fact I need a new back window, again?" I rolled my eyes. I could only imagine their incredible explanation this time.
"Again? I thought that window was unbreakable." Carlisle sighed the same time I did.
"It was supposed to be. How they managed to break it- I have no clue."
"Have you talked to them yet?"
"No, I came home and saw the broken window. They were all outside playing on a giant Slip 'n' Slide, which I'm assuming is Emmett's doing. They were all wearing their bathing suits, so I came up here to call you and let them cover up." He laughed at the last part.
"Let me guess; Rosalie was revealing far too much?"
"Of course. Emmett was having a hard time keeping his hands off her."
"As always. Do you want to wait to talk to them until I get home?"
"No, I can do it myself. I can't wait to see what their brilliant explanation is."
"They are always colorful, at the least. My 'lunch' break is almost over. Good luck."
"Thank you. I love you."
"I love you, too." I hung up the phone and stood up from the desk. I walked downstairs to where the children were sitting on the couches. There was an old, large, brown suitcase resting on the table.
"What is that?" Emmett was about to answer, but I held up a hand. "Nope, I don't want to know." I wasn't sure I actually wanted to know. Better safe than sorry.
"Hey Esme, what's up?" Emmett said in his always cheery voice. Everyone else just rolled their eyes at him.
"Alright, I install a vampire-proof window, and you still somehow manage to break it!"
"Yeah, we are just that talented!" Emmett said. Rosalie smacked him on the back of the head.
"Make another stupid remark and I am taking back my promise this afternoon!" Rosalie hissed at him. I turned to Edward.
"Do I want to know?" I asked him.
"Absolutely not." He said shuddering.
"Never mind that. Who broke the window?" They were just trying to distract me.
"I wasn't home!" Rosalie yelled.
"I was having lunch with Angela!" Bella yelled. I believed her; Bella almost never lied to me.
"I was shopping!" Alice shouted. I one-hundred percent believed that. I wouldn't have believed her if she said she wasn't shopping.
"I was at Claire's house, helping her dress up Quil and Jake as princesses!" Nessie said. My granddaughter ran up to me, pressed her hand to my cheek, and then sat back down. She showed me in her thoughts helping Claire dress up Jacob.
"Nessie, no offense, but Jacob makes an unattractive princess." She laughed.
"I know." Edward now laughed too, having seen Nessie's thoughts. Nessie put her hand to Bella's cheek, and then Bella laughed.
"I didn't break it; I was trying to get the disgusting images Emmett was sending me out of my mind." Edward said.
"I was on the floor from Emmett's stupid waves of lust." Jasper shuddered, and Alice patted his hand.
"I was sending out awesome mental pictures and awesome waves of lust." Emmett said.
I rolled my eyes, not sure I believed anyone except the girls. "OK, so if none of you broke it, who did?"
The boys and Alice pointed to Coco and Bentley playing with a squeaky toy. They were so cute; how could they have broken it?
"Alice, you weren't even here!" Nessie said. Alice raised her eyebrows and tapped the side of her head. Nessie rolled her eyes and laughed- the sound a delicate peal of bells. She looked so much like Edward when she rolled her eyes.
"Really, Mom! We didn't break them! Look at the rope hanging from the window! It is covered in dog drool!" Emmett shouted in a scramble to save himself. I walked over to the window and picked up the rope. He was right; it was wet in what I could smell was dog saliva. Well, half dog- half vampire saliva.
"Did this really happen?" I asked, holding up the wet rope. It looked like it had some pretty serious bite marks- vampire teeth definitely. The dogs had the same razor sharp as any other vampire. That didn't say anything about Jasper and Emmett not fighting over this though. Edward let out a long, loud laugh at my thoughts and the mental picture that went with them.
"What's so funny, Dad?" Nessie asked. He just shook his head, still trying to contain his laughter.
"What am I going to do with you?" I said shaking my head at the two adorable puppies smiling up at me. I couldn't do something bad to them; they were so cute! I loved them so much, even though they had broken my so-I-thought-indestructible window. I couldn't let anything happen to them!
"OK, I want Emmett to fix my window; Edward, mop up the surrounding area that has glass; Jasper deflate the Slip 'n' Slide; and Rose--"
"What?" She whined. She had changed out of her bikini, but put on a just as revealing top.
"Cover up!" Edward and Jasper laughed hysterically while Emmett pouted and Rosalie rolled her eyes.
"Wait!" I shouted. They all froze in place.
"Whose idea was the Slip 'n' Slide anyway?" I was looking at Emmett, and was shocked when everyone pointed at Jasper. He cringed back at the attention. Wow, Jasper setting up a Slip 'n' Slide? Jasper?! "Aren't those designed for ten year olds?"
"And your point would be…?" Everyone answered at exactly the same time. I just shook my head. I ran up to mine and Carlisle's room and pulled out the Cullen History notebook.
5.18.09 Cullen History
The window was broken today. Again. I don't know how, but two little adorable puppies somehow managed to break a vampire-proof window. I couldn't give them any punishments though; they were so teeny!!
I decided to have Emmett fix the window, Edward mop up the area with glass, and Jasper deflate the Slip 'n' Slide. To my complete surprise Jasper was the one who initiated the Slip 'n' Slide. Where the idea came from I'm not sure I want to know.
And as always, Rosalie was practically falling out of her bikini. Emmett was of course having a hard time keeping his hands off of her, but that isn't unusual. I quote Edward, "Guys, really! Get. A. Room!" end quote. Sometimes, I don't disagree with him.
Esme Cullen
"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Emmett screamed from downstairs.
