A/N: And finally...the sit down. How does Carlisle react?

Okay, this is not by far the last chapter. I keep thinking of more things to add. Such as We need to find out how the rest of the Cullens describe their experience's to Esme. They need to watch themselves on TV, and yes, someone in the Cullen Family will go back and pay another visit to our friend Tim....Who will it be??? (Might not be who you think)

Okay So I am still in total shock over all the reviews I have gotten in the past few days. You like me you really like me *Wipes tear from eye*

Thank you so much and keep them coming!

Oh, and because I don't want to get involved in any copywrite infringement I own nothing. (Although, if I were to be in a lawsuit maybe I could meet Stephenie Meyer.)
Okay Probably not the thinking of a sane person. Just read the story :)

CPOV

We were ushered to a small room with a table and four chairs. I pulled Esme's chair for her and gave Tim a look of disgust as I noticed him sit down before Theresa. I guess I could be called old fashioned but that's just simple manners. The four of us sat there looking at each other for a moment waiting for someone to speak. After two weeks with her I should have known it would be Theresa.

"I just want to say anything without being interrupted." She said her eyes glairing at Esme. "First of all you do have a wonderful family. They could actually be decent kids. Emmett and Rose went to marriage counsel-"

"WHAT?" Esme shouted. I grabbed her hand and looked over at her.

"Umm…Emmett and Rose got married last month and didn't tell us. It wasn't until Theresa discovered Emmett's intimacy problems that they came out and told us they were actually married." I explained knowing Esme would be smart enough not to ask anything else until we were alone.

"Can I please speak without being interrupted." Theresa said impatiently.

"Could I please have a moment to take in the fact that two of my children are married?" Esme surprisingly snapped back. What happened to my sweet wife?

"Look, I'm sorry, I should have let Carlisle tell you about that but he didn't seem to care too much so I figured neither would you." Theresa continued. "That brings me to my main problem with your family. Your children seem to just take care of themselves. I mean Nessie basically home schools herself."
"Well Nessie has always seemed to mature rather quickly." Esme said defensively.

"I asked not to be interrupted." Theresa shot back at her.

I squeezed Esme's hand begging her to just get through this meeting. I was becoming furious with Theresa and just wanted everyone to stay calm.

"Well, as I was saying. Your kids need more direction. I got Jasper and Edward to play football and Bella and Alice did cheerleading."
With that Esme began laughing. I know she was imaging Bella as a cheerleader. Theresa paused and looked at Esme.

"I'm sorry I was just having a hard time seeing Bella in a cheerleading uniform."

"She wasn't too happy." I explained. "But Alice was in heaven."

Esme looked over at Theresa, "Bella used to be extremely clumsy but as she umm…grew out of it she just never had the cheerleader attitude."

"She does have a bit of an attitude problem doesn't she?" Theresa said. "But I think Edward is good for her. They have a very strange relationship."

I wondered what she meant by strange but decided that I shouldn't ask. No need to push the issue I knew they had a strange relationship. I glanced over at Esme she didn't seem too shocked to know that four of our kids were now dating each other.

"Alice and Jasper are the ones I think are going to make it though." Theresa added. "They have a strong quiet relationship."

I looked over at Esme who was now slightly surprised none of the children had been able to follow the rules.

"And Jake, at first I didn't like him. I couldn't understand why he was so interested in spending time with Renesmee. But then he explained the situation with his girlfriend. How he was waiting for her to finish school and everything. I wish I could have met her but he really isn't a bad guy. Although I think you need to watch Renesmee, I think she has a bit of a crush on him."

Esme let out a sigh of relief hoping she could speak her peace and be done with this. I was hoping for the same. That is until Theresa began speaking again.

"The only thing I will suggest is Emmett and Rose continue marriage counseling and Jasper gets some anger management."
I could feel Esme tense as she hoped that Jasper hadn't attacked her. "What happened?" She whispered.

"We went hunting, I know Carlisle explained to me what a devout vegetarian he was but the second I shot the deer he jumped on me."
Esme gasped

Theresa continued. "I know he felt bad he ran off and wouldn't talk to anyone after but still, it's no reason to attack me."

Esme let out a sigh of relief.

"What do you mean he attacked you?" Tim said angrily.

"I'm okay." Theresa told him. Probably thinking that it was no worse than the way he attacked her everyday at home.

"No, it's not right. Did you press charges?" Tim continued.

"Tim, do you want me to press charges?" Esme asked.

What? I cringed, I knew things were bad but he actually touched her? Did something to my wife that would be punishable by law? I took a moment to regain myself thankfully I had three hundred years to work on my patience and control.

"What happened." I asked surprised my voice sounded incredibly calm.

"I think Tim should explain." Esme said moving her hand and placing it on my knee.

"Yes." Theresa said trying not to sound too defiant. Tim would probably go home and beat her if she stood up to him.

"I…" Tim paused. "I missed you baby." Tim said turning towards Theresa. I felt Esme's hand grasp my knee tighter reminding me not to leap out of my seat. "I missed you and I was lonely, I sort of made a pass at her." Tim sobbed as he rubbed his eyes giving the impression he was crying.

I couldn't move, my whole body stiffened. How dare he.

"Do you want to explain to her why I was already staying at a hotel when all this happened." Esme asked him.

She had to stay at a hotel? My poor Esme, at the hotel, alone, for over a week. Wait, why was she at the hotel before he hit on her.

"Why was she at the hotel?" I asked this time with a little more anger in my voice.

"I got upset with her and raised my hand to her. It was nothing." Tim said rather nonchalantly.

I thought back to Esme's human years the abuse she had taken by her first husband. I wanted more than nothing to wrap her in my arms.

"It was nothing?" I asked not even trying to hide the anger in my voice.

"Look, I didn't actually hit her." he tried to reason with me.

I couldn't do this anymore. I glanced over at Esme and smiled, I wanted her to know I wasn't going to rip his head off, but I needed to get out of the room. I slowly stood and excused myself. I was surprised when Esme stayed and continued talking to Theresa.

"Theresa," I heard Esme as I walked out the door. "I just wanted you to know that although I had problems with Tim your children are wonderful. Please don't forget that, do what is best for them."

"If you looked up asshole in the dictionary you'd see a picture of him." I looked up surprised to see Nick. "Sorry, That was unprofessional."

"No, it's okay." I faked a laughed. "I just feel bad, she had a horrible experience."

"If it makes you feel any better she kicked my ass in gin rummy quite a few times." he laughed and this time I joined him.

"Seriously, she handled it really well, between everything with Tim and her mother dying." Nick said.

Her mother dying? What? I tried not to reveal the shock on my face.

"Yes, it was something we knew was coming. They said their goodbyes before Esme left." I said hoping the story worked. I didn't want to make it look like Esme didn't care her mother died but I didn't know what to say. Why had she told them that?

"Thanks Nick, for everything." I said shaking his hand.

"No problem, it was sort of like a vacation for me, not having to deal with all the other family members." He smiled.

I would be eternally thankful to this man for helping my wife I thought as I walked back into the room.

EsPOV

"Theresa, I just wanted you to know that although I had problems with Tim your children are wonderful. Please don't forget that, do what is best for them."

"And by do what is best for them you mean leave me?" Tim asked.

"I'm not telling her what to do." I explained. "I just want her to know there are options." I wanted so badly to tell her my story. How I had gotten out of my abusive marriage. Granted things didn't turn out quite right there either but if I still had my son things would have been different. Theresa had children though, she needed to be strong for them.

"Options to leave me." Tim was getting angry again. "Is that what you want? Theresa, do you want to leave me?"

"No," She whispered.

Carlisle came back into the room and instead of sitting down he stood behind me reassuringly placing his hands on my shoulders.

"I love you." Theresa whispered to Tim. I watched as they embraced each other, watched the tears stream down Theresa's face as she repeatedly told Tim how much she loved him.

"I'm out of here." I said pushing back my chair, Carlisle was immediately at my side as we walked out the door.

I wasn't tired but simply emotionally drained as we boarded the plane. "So what really happened?" I whispered as I placed my head on Carlisle's shoulder. It felt right being back at his side. I thought of all the things Theresa had said, trying to imagine what was really going on but in the end I just wanted to be with my husband, to sit quietly and enjoy his presence.

"Oh, I think it would be best to let your children explain that." He chuckled. I sighed and nodded my head as I closed my eyes. As bad as my two weeks were I'm sure his experience had to have been more stressful.
