Happy Sunday Update Two!
A month had gone by. The kids were better behaved since Edward called all the parents in. That included his dad, who was the local doctor. Carlisle was all too happy to show them rather graphics pictures of STDs.
"See, Lauren. When the clinic said you had the Clap, it wasn't a round of applause for you," Emily said when she showed up a picture. Everyone laughed, but it wasn't really funny.
Carlisle had stressed that it wasn't a joking matter. He explained the complications from STDs. That soon shut the kids up, especially the boys, when Carlisle explain how some of the tests had to be performed.
Then Mark, Charlie's deputy, came in. Edward thought it was best if the kids saw Charlie as just a dad that day and not a police officer. Bella already had enough shit to be getting on with.
Mark explained about all different types of crime that went on, most of it in the college areas. He also stressed quite harshly about sexual assault. That hit home for the kids.
The parents, on the other hand, were shocked at how open their kids were with their sexualities. That added another level of stress on their shoulders, but Edward was quick to calm them.
"You can't escape it these days. Everything is sexualized, because sex sells. Clothing, adverts, games. You name it and it's there. It's become normal," He said.
"Whether you like it or not, at some point, your kids will be sexually active. You have to be open and honest with them. You'll be uncomfortable, and questions may be awkward, but things need to be said and explained. It's better coming from you than if they searched on the internet and found some disturbing and wrong information," Edward pressed.
"I don't want to sound ungrateful, but it's not like you have kids, Edward. What makes you so gifted in this area?" A parent spoke up, and Edward knew this was coming. He just wished that the question wasn't asked in front of everyone, including the kids.
Especially Bella.
"I'm sorry," he mouthed to her before he spoke.
And now you'll get to hear from Edward. I hope to God you all like it and that I'm shitting myself over this for no reason...
