"Esme, we need to slow down." I said as I moved her off my lap.
She pouted and scooted off me.
"Please don't see this as rejection, believe me when I say I don't want to stop." I said as I put my hands up.
"I know Carlisle, I'm just worried about how this is all going to happen." Her eyes held worry.
"I'll come over in the morning and talk to Bella; we'll work it all out. I promise, Esme, I'll do whatever it takes to make this work." I said with nothing but sincerity in my words.
"I trust you." She said.
"Will you stay with me until I fall asleep?" Esme asked quietly.
"Of course, love." I moved to lay beside her as she crawled under the blankets.
"Goodnight sweetheart." I said as I placed a kiss on her forehead, my arms wrapped tightly around her.
I could definitely see myself sleeping like this for the rest of my life.
