Esme POV
I woke up in bed with Carlisle. I couldn't believe it. Peter, Charlotte, Hazel dead. All because my brother in law wanted the 'family business '. If this is what was going to happen he could have it for all I care. What about the boys. I sat upright disturbing Carlisle.
"Esme what..?" Carlisle sat up, ran his fingers through his hair.
"What about the boys. Jason, Jared, Lyncon. Where are they." I was bringing to panic.
"I don't know Esme, nobody does, Chief swan is coming over later to talk to you." Carlisle put his arm round me.
"What could of happened to them, oh god what if they are also dead or dying or if they've been taken."
"Esme stop! We don't know anything as of yet. Let the police do there thing and then we can do ours ok."
I couldn't stop thinking about what could be happening. If Carlisle was right, dear lord. There was a knock at the door. Marcus popped his head round the door.
"Charlie here."
"Ok, thanks Marcus we will be down in a minute," Carlisle said.
I didn't want to do this but I know I had to. We got up and headed downstairs, to the sitting room.
"Carlisle, Esme I'm sorry to be seeing you like this." Charlie got up and shook our hands. I went to sit down. Carlisle followed.
"So tell me what happened to my family. I needed to know."
"Are you sure Esme. It's not pretty." Charlie face didn't give away much. I just nodded.
"We believe that they were killed 1 week ago. They were all sitting at the table when we found them. We believe whoever killed them tried to get information out of them." I gasped and cried harder. "Hazel wasn't tho if that's any concelation." I signed in relief. "The boys were there but as of yet we don't know what has happened to them. We have got the scent dogs on them as well as your fathers personal. But now we will be putting round the clock protection for you all. I know you have your own but I would like to put more on."
"Ok thank you Charlie." Marcus piped up.
"What about their funeral. They need to be buried in the family cemetery. My father would want that. God have my parents even been told." Carlisle put his other hand on my knee.
"I'm afraid Esme no one know where your parents are, we can't do any funeral until the post mortem, we need to know how they died."
I jumped up. "YOU KNOW WHAT KILLED THEM YOUR FUCKING BROTHER DID!" I was screaming at Carlisle at that point, I then ran out of the room I couldn't deal with this.
Carlisle POV
I got up to go after her but I felt a hand on my arm. It was Grace.
"I'll go, she won't want to see you right now and may say something she regrets."
I nodded sat back down. "Does Esme need to do anything?" I looked at Charlie.
"No nothing. But the threat is very real. I would like to move you both into a safe house."
"Yeah right, you know my place is safer than anything the state can offer." Marcus spat.
"I know that but I have to ask." Charlie put his hands up in surrender. "I have to ask do you even know if Esme's parents are even alive."
"Yes they are alive if they weren't we would have found there bodies. Cauis wants Esme to suffer so she will fall apart and just hand over the 'business'." Marcus was saying.
"So why not just hand it over now." Charlie asked.
"Are you mad! Dad wouldn't even let Cauis near his business. He would ruin it within 6 months. All he wants is power. And with the Platts he'd have anything he wants and he could go anywhere. No you don't want Cauis to have any of it." Marcus was running his hand through his hair. Must be a family trait.
"Ok well I will head off, I will keep you updated with what I hear if you can do the same." Charlie got up and stuck out his hand to use to shake.
"Certainly Charlie." We shook his hand, then Marcus saw him out. When Marcus came back I was pouring myself a scotch. "Want one?"
"No and I don't think you should either. You need a clear head. We need to find Cauis and Aro and stop this. I don't know how much Esme can take."
I slammed down the glass. "Don't you think I don't know that! This is killing me. I can't do anything."
"That is were your wrong. You can support her, be there for her. She needs you more than you think." Marcus was right. I put my glass down went to the kitchen and got a bottle of water.
"Much better choice," Marcus said from behind me. "Now go find your wife talk to her."
"And if she doesn't want to talk." I stared at him.
"Just talk." With that piece of advice he walked out the room. Great thanks's Marcus. I sat at the kitchen table trying to think about that I was going to do. I must have sat there for a good 20 minutes, as Marcus walked through.
"Still down here." I gave Marcus the finger. "I'm off to pick the kids up." With that he was gone.
I took a deep breath, got up and went to find Esme. I found her in the conservatory , talking to Grace. They both heard me approach. I could tell Esme had been crying but she offered me a small smile. I looked at Grace, she got up.
"Marcus has gone to pick up the kids." "That's my que to go and get a snack ready they are ravenous when they come home." Grace patterned my arm as she walked passed.
"Can I sit down." I waited for a response all I got was a nod. We sat in silence for I don't know how long. But this was ridiculous.
"Look Esme, I'm sorry for what has happened to your family I really am and I'm sorry that it's my brother to blame. I can't chance that but I can try to help you through it." I looked at her she was looking at the ground. "You many not want to talk and that's fine, but please don't shut me out." I left it there.
"I'm sorry I snapped at you." She sounded like a small child. All I wanted to do was wrap her up.
"I know it's not your fault but I feel like I need to blame someone as I can't blame and I can't blame the people behind it. I hate that things are going to shit." I snapped my head up Esme swore. She gave me a quick smirk.
"Look we need to be serious about this Esme. We need to stick together. We also need to figure out what happens now with your fathers business. With your cousins gone it lands on you. We don't know what or where your parents are so we need to keep everything going. Can you imagine what would happen if everything went to pot. The people your father has crossed will come looking for payback and sweetheart at the moment that puts you in the firing line."
"Don't sugar coat it will Carlisle. But I know, that's what me and Grace were talking about. I don't want to be in this life style. I never have. But if I give everything up I don't know what will happen. If I can't find my cousins it will be left to me. I don't know what to do. I need to go home. I will get everything that's there. Don't look at me like that I know it's dangerous but what choice do I have."
I closed my eyes and pinched the bridge of my nose. "I know I just don't like it. It is dangerous. Let's talk it over with Marcus and dad, see what we can come up with." She stood up and came to sit on my lap.
"Ok I trust you. "She kissed me deeply. The kiss started to get deeper but was interrupted by giggling. We both turned our heads. Dimitri and Alec were standing just outside the conservatory laughing.
Marcus come up behind them making them jump. "You two are going to give these two nightmares." He was pointing between the four of us. "Come on before you corrupt my children." We both laughed at that.
Once we all got to the kitchen Grace was trying to get the kids to do there spelling and reading but they didn't want to know.
"Come on why don't you read to Auntie Esme" I suggested. I looked at Es and she smiled.
"Yeah, come on let's go sit down in the sitting room and we can do spellings as well." The children jumped down and ran to her. Grace came over to me with Felix and a bottle.
"Would you mind feeding him while I get dinner."
"No of course not." She placed Felix in my arms he was fussing, I took the bottle from Grace, placed it at his lips and he opened his mouth, started to suck hard!
"Wow, you have a good suck on there buddy." Grace chucked from the kitchen. "Oh yeah he does, that's why I like to have a break from him." With in minutes Felix had drained the bottle, so I put him over my shoulder to burp him. He let out a man size burp, when he farted. "Just like your daddy right."
"Yep just like me," Marcus raised his head from the book him and Jane were reading on the floor. I looked around, Esme was doing spellings with Dimitri and Alec it was a wonderful sight. It was nice to be here even under these circumstances.
Dinner was a lively affair, talking, laughing, joking. Once dinner was finished, it was bath time. Esme and Grace did it this time, but one they returned they were dry. How I do not know. After Marcus came back from daddy duties it was time to get down to business.
"Ok. I need to go home to find out what is going on. I need to find fathers second in command. That's Logan. Capocrimine." Marcus and myself nodded. "Once I've got hold of him then I can figure where to go from there. How does that sound." Bless her she is so unsure of herself.
"Esme I think you know more than you think. Now about going to the house, I'm not happy with you going there. Can you get hold of Logan any other way." She shook her head. "No he would of gone off grid after what is going on." Marcus was rubbing his chin in deep thought.
"If. Now that is a big if we go, we will have to go at night, yes it's more risky, but is it safer, as we can use the cover of darkness. Let Carlisle, dad and myself work on the details tonight and we maybe can go tomorrow."
Both Esme and myself nodded. "Right let me phone dad and we can go from there, Carlisle you coming?"
"Yeah I'll be there in a minute." Marcus nodded and set off to his office. "I'm going to put coffee on anybody else." Grace asked
"Yes please Grace, I will come and help in a minute." Esme turned to face me. "Am I doing the right thing?"
"You are doing the only thing you can do to keep yourself and others safe." I was looking her in the eye. "I think it is very brave of you, I will be hear every step of the way."
"Thank you my love it means the world to know that you are with me." She kissed me. "Now go and talk to your brother and father. I need coffee." We both got up and as she walked away I tapped her ass, she looked back and smiled.
As I walked into Marcus's office he was already on the phone to dad. "Dad Carlisle has just come in."
"Hi dad, has Marcus got you up to speed." I sat down in one of the leather high back chairs need the big oak desk.
"He's giving me a brief explanation, hows Esme holding up." My fathers tone never changing.
"She going as well as can be expected. But she scared. What the hell is Cauis thinking, and were is Aro." I needed to calm down.
"I really don't know. I was as shocked as you guys when I found out. I haven't heard from Aro since the wedding. Your mother even called Annie to see if she had heard from him. Nothing, but then it was a long shot."
"Yeah well can you blame her, the divorce was hard on her." Marcus spoke. No one spoke then. Annie was a lovely girl but after her marriage to Aro she changed. She was a shell of the women she once was.
"Right if you go, you will need a lot of people. I want Charlie to go with u and well as McCarthy. Any men Charlie can spare would be good. If Cauis finds out about this it will be like walking into a hornets nest. So keep it quite! I will come over tomorrow, your mother wants to see the children so."
"I will call Charlie now and see what he can spare," Marcus got up to use the other line.
"Carlisle you do know that you may have to take over the business." Dads voice was hard.
"Yes dad but, Esme has Jonathan's Capocrimine Logan. So he may take over. Esme will be silent in the family business." I kept running my hands through my hair. It was sticking up all over the place.
"Mmmhhhh. Jonathan has spoken very highly of Logan. So if he can come on board that would be good." I could hear my father shuffling papers around.
"Right Charlie will come along and he will bring 6 officers. That should be enough," Marcus sat down.
"Yes that's good. Ok well it's getting late and we need to be ready for tomorrow. Ok good night you two. Marcus kiss my grandchildren for me and your mother." Then he was gone.
"Let's go, I'm shattered." Marcus headed out, going round the house locking up. I went upstairs to bed. Esme was in the shower, so I decided to join her. So I stripped off, opened the door and oh my what a site.
"You just going to stand there or are you coming in" Esme didn't even turn around.
"How did you..." I climbed in and stood in front oh her.
"Well I would be a bit worried if it was either Marcus or Grace." She laughed. I put my hands on her face and drew her in for a seering kiss, she moaned in my mouth and that went straight to my cock. I needed her now. I pushed up against the wall grabbed hold of her ass and lifted her up. She wrapped her legs round my waist and her hands went into my hair. I used my hand to grab my cock and positioned it at her entrance then thrust the rest of the way in. We both groaned. We needed this. We needed the connection back.
"Oh yes Carlisle, harder yes baby," Esme was trying to keep her cry's quite.
"I love being in your pussy baby, oh feels so good." I took one of her nipples in my mouth, I sucked on it until it puckered then bit it.
"Aarrgghhh, yes oh do it again pllleeease." So I did it again for her. "Yyyeeesssss, oh I'm gonna cum, oh yessssss." I had to kiss her to hide the scream. I thrusted erratically then came myself with a grunt. I layed my head in the swell of her breasts, while Esme was running her hands up and down my back.
When we had both come down from our high we washed each other. I got out first and wrapped a towel around my hips, then gripped on for Esme and wrapped her in the big fluffy towel then grabbed a small on for her hair. When we finally made it to bed, Esme snuggled into me and drifted to sleep me following not long after.
Cauis POV
As I sat outside in my car watching my brother house. I had a fantastic view of the spare bedroom, where Esme was. I didn't want to think about what she was doing with my brother. It should have been me. Carlisle didn't even want anything to do with the family business, let alone the Platts. Just then cell phone went off.
"What!" I barked into the phone.
"Are you still sitting outside Marcus's place?" Aro demanded. Got he was annoying. I know he's the older but gueeze.
"What does it matter to you if I am." I spat back.
"You will be seen and it will blow everything that we have worked for." Aro was panicking for now reason.
"Will you relax. I just want to see what is happening. I just need to how to proceed. We have 3 of them. I just need to know where the parents are so we can take them out. Then I can claim the business as my own."
"It's not that simple. You know that they have loyal people there who could take over." Aro was right.
"Yes I know, but when I get my hands on Esme I can get her to sign over the business to me. I know it's not how it's normally done but once I'm in control I can replace Platts men with my own. But I need to get my foot in the door." I was shouting now. He knows this. "Look nothing is happening tonight so I'm coming back. Meet me in 30 minutes. " I shut the phone off started the car and drove off to the warehouse.
Carlisle POV
We were both up early today we needed to get the ball rolling. Marcus did the school run again, when he cane home mom and dad had met him outside.
"Carlisle, Esme it's so good to see you again. How are you both holding up." My mom cane straight over to Esme and myself kissing and hugging us both.
"I think we are both doing ok under the circumstances mom." I smiled at mom.
"Yeah I'm not to bad thank you Elizabeth." Esme was clearing the breakfast away. Grace was feeding Felix. Jane was still asleep.
"Carlisle can you come into your brothers office with us please."
"Sure thing dad." When I got in and sat down. Dad pulled out a folder and handed it to me. "What this?"
"Just open it." Inside was a list of names. Jason, Jared, Lyncon were at the top followed by Esme name. I looked up at my father.
"It's a list of the people who are in charge after Jonathan. It done by blood first, the second in command. So Esme is right that after her it's Logan. He's like a brother to Jonathan. But it still makes Esme in charge. For Logan to take over Esme has to pass the baton so to speak, officially. There has to be a handover ceremony, blood is spilled. Then everything is handed over. Then it is in Logan's hands. But this is only if Logan wants it." Dad got up and made himself a drink.
"Really dad it's 9.30 in the morning." Marcus chastised. Dad just ignored him.
"Esme was thinking about being a silent boss, if Logan didn't want it." Dad nearly chocked.
"What! That has never been done. You can't have a female boss, no one will take her seriously." Dad gulped his drink down and poured another.
"Think of this was if Esme was in charge Logan would keep his position but to everybody else he's boss." Both Marcus and dad were shaking their heads.
"No you don't get it. If it got back to anybody that a women was running the show it would be a disaster. Yes women work with her fathers company, but running it it's a whole different ball game."
I had my head in my hands. "So you would suggest that Esme pass the buck so to speak." They both nodded. "That is all under the assumption that Jonathan and Mary are dead." Again they nodded. I'm just praying they are alive.
Esme POV
"So Anthony was telling what's been going on, I'm so sorry about Peter, Charlotte and Hazel. If there is anything I can do. Please just ask." Elizabeth placed her hand on my shoulder.
"Thank you." I turned back to washing up.
"So what are we going to do all day." I don't think Elizabeth realised that we couldn't go out.
"We can't go anywhere Elizabeth, it's too dangerous." Grace passed Felix to her then went to get Jane who was crying over the monitor.
"Tosh, you think my own son would hurt me." Elizabeth was living in cloud cuckoo land if she thought cauis wouldn't hurt her. But I bit my lip to stay quite.
"Nanna," Jane yelled and tried to wriggle out of Graces arms. "Janie, how's my girl doing." Elizabeth passed Felix to me. Jane got up on Elizabeth lap and was babbling away to her and she was nodding as if she understood every word. It was quite amusing.
"Park" Jane asked. "No sorry sweetie," Grace started to say, but Elizabeth cut in. "Yes sweetheart we can go to the park." Both myself and grace just stared at her.
"No sorry Elizabeth Jane is not going to the park, it's not safe." Grace was putting her foot down, but Elizabeth didn't listen.
"Of nonsense Grace, come on Jane let's get your shoes." Grace just looked like she had been slapped. Grace picked Jane up and turned to face Elizabeth down, but luckily for who I don't know the men came out.
"Of thank god. Will you tell you mom and your wife that she can't take Jane to the park and we can't go out." Grace was trying to console a crying Jane.
"Elizabeth we talked about this on the way over." Anthony stepped forward and placed his hand on her arm. She shook it off
"And I told you that my sons wouldn't hurt a hair on my head." She huffed and crossed her arms.
"But what about my daughter mom" Marcus was standing next to Grace with an arm around her. Having taken Felix from me.
"Cauis or Aro wouldn't hurt Jane."
I lost it. "One of them them murdered my niece. She was 9 years old." I was crying. Elizabeth didn't say anything at that. I just went to Carlisle and wrapped my arms around him I just wanted him to swallow me up. He ran his hand up and down my back. I could hear mumblings but I wasn't listening. I was just inhaling Carlisle smell, it relax me.
"Right Elizabeth no going anywhere either on your own or with the children do you understand me." I could hear the anger in Anthony voice.
"Anthony aren't you being a bit over precious. These are our sons." Will she ever except that her sons are not what she things them to be.
"They may well be my children Elizabeth, but I will not put my other family and my grandchildren in harms way. If you are so sure they will not harm you, you go find them and see what's going on."
"What!" All of use turned to look at Anthony. I couldn't believe he was saying that.
Elizabeth looked at her husband in shock horror. Her mouth opening and closing like a fish.
"That's what I thought Elizabeth." Anthony took her by the arm. "I think we will head home. I will be in contact boys." Then he practically pulled her out the door.
"No park," Jane cried. Grace held her close and rocked her. "Not today baby I'm sorry. But how about we make cookies with auntie Esme." Grace looked at me and smiled.
"I think that is a great idea." I walked over to them both and kissed Jane cheek. "What cookies shall we make? Chocolate chip." Jane gave a toothy smile at that. "Right let's get to it." The three of us went into the kitchen to start baking.
Marcus and Carlisle sat down at the kitchen table as we got the ingredients out.
"I can't believe Elizabeth wanted to take Jane out," Grace was still angry, not that I blame her.
"Yeah I know love, don't know what's up with her." Marcus said as he was leaning back in the chair with Felix gurgling away. "I'm sure dad will find out what the problem is."
"I think we should go now to Jonathan and Mary's, yes cover of night will be better but it will be more dangerous. What do you think Carlisle." Marcus said looking at Carlisle. Carlisle then looked at me.
"Yeah I think now is probably ok, but just the three of us. Less conspicuous. And Es you need to be quick in getting the info." I just nodded. If I was honest I was terrified.
"Right Carlisle mentioned you can shoot." I nod. "Ok come with me then both of you and I can see if I have anything that will suit you Esme." I hesitated.
"Esme?" Carlisle came to my side, cupped my face. "What's the matter sweetheart?"
"I can shoot at a range but the thought of shooting someone. I don't know if I can do it. "
Carlisle kissed me. "That is why we are going with you. But. I can assure you in the moment you will be able to do anything."
He kissed me again. "Better." I nodded I couldn't talk if I tried I think I would cry. Carlisle took my hand and led me to where Marcus gun safe was. In his office.
"Esme this is for your protection ok. I hope you don't have to use it." Marcus was standing next to the safe. It was 6 guns in there. Three glocks, 2 shotguns and a beretta. "What would suit you better."
Carlisle POV
I could see Esme was shaking. Not the best for handing a gun. "I don't think it is wise for Esme to carry its not safe for her," I turned to Marcus.
He nodded. "Yes I think your right. You'll take the beretta right." He took it out and handed it to me then gave me the clip.
I loaded the gun with the clip and took a second one just in case. I borrowed one of Marcus's holders, put it on and holstered my weapon.
I turned to Esme she had composed herself some what, I took her hand and led her out to the kitchen. I cupped her face. "You are strong Es you can do this ok?" She nodded, took a deep breath, squared her shoulders. She was ready.
Marcus came passed, walked straight to Grace, Jane and Felix who was in his rocker. He whispered something to her but it was a private moment so I turned away.
"Ok let's go. I want to be home by school pick up." Marcus was now all business. Sharp, hard.
I took Esme hand and followed him out to the garage. I helped Esme get into the SUV then I got into the front passenger seat.
The drive to the Platt house was silent. We drove round, took a different root, back tracked just to be sure. Once there we did two drive bys. Nothing was out of the ordinary. I got out and slipped in the front door. There was no lock left just police scene tap. Once inside I checked every room for uninvited guests. Nothing. That's good. I signaled to Marcus and esme and himself came in. Esme took us to her fathers office. She didn't look around whether shouldn't look I don't know. We closed the shutters didn't turn on lights just used flash lights.
Esme went straight to work. Looking through the fathers books for any and all info she would need. Marcus and myself kept guard constantly patrolling. I knew Jonathan didn't trust computers they could be hacked but paper was better.
"Ok got everything I need I think. If I haven't tough. I want to go."
We positioned Esme between us as we went out. Always looking in every corner. Every shadow had to be looked at. Even when we were in the car we didn't rest. We finally took a breath when we pulled into the garage. We had been a total of 2 hours. But it felt like 2 days.
We walked into the house to find grace and Jane finishing the cookies. The look on Graces face was one of great relief. Both Marcus and myself put the guns back in the safe before we went any further. Once I was back in the kitchen Esme was sitting at the table with a stack of papers in from for her. I walked up to her kissed her forehead sat down next to her putting my hand on her thigh. Marcus came over picked up Jane and kissed Grace. I could tell everybody was glad it was done.
"I will go through all this later but now I would like one of your wonderful cookies." Esme reaches over a grabbed one taking a big bite.
"Mmmmmhhhhh. These are delicious Jane you and mommy did a really good job."
My body responds to Esme's sounds in the only way it knows how to. My cock springs to life. I have to think of my grandmother naked to make it go away.
The rest of the day was quite. Just talking about nothing in particular. Weather, football, how the children are doing at school. I think the children knew something was different they did as they were told. Dinner was quite. The children went to bed on time no fuss, which according to Grace never happens. We went to bed early that night but my night was far from over. I needed to claim Esme as mine. I needed to show her how much I loved her.
I climbed into bed next to her. It seemed Esme had the same idea. As I laid down she straddle my legs just below my cock. She was naked. She took my cock out of my boxers and started to pump it making it painfully hard. She then moved so that she was just hovering over it. Esme placed my cock at her entrance just getting the head wet with her juices, before I new that she was going she had lowered herself down fully swallowing my cock in her pussy. She was still tight. It felt great. I grasped her hips trying to get her to move but she wouldn't.
"No Carlisle. I want to control this." She rotated her hips. I think my eyes rolled back in my head. Esme placed her hands on my chest and began to ride me like I was a prized stallion. I was lost. From watching her tits jiggle, to seeing my cock disappear into her pussy I knew I wasn't going to last long. When I tried to put my hands on her tits she shook her head. "No!" Then Esme did something I didn't expect. She started to play with her clit herself rubbing in circles while her other hand played with her tits.
"Oh god yes. Oh that is a fucking glorious site. Fuck me Es." I could tell she was nearly ready to come by her irratic movements. She then threw her head back mouth open trying not to make a sound. It was that sight that sent me over the edge. I thrust up into her several times shooting me cum deep into her waiting pussy. Then she collapsed on my panting.
"Oh Esme that was fantastic. Thank you baby." I kissed her sweaty forehead. She mumbled a your welcome but was already half asleep. So I rolled us over covered us up, snuggled with her and drifted off into a dream filled sleep.
Esme POV
I woke up the next morning alone. I could here the shower on. I could go and join Carlisle but I'm just so comfortable. I snuggled back down under the duvet. I needed to do a lot today. It was going to be a long day. I heard the water shut off. I knew in a about 5 minutes I was going to come face to face with a handsome man that was impossible to resist. And with him being just from the shower i knew I would be a gonna. Just as I closed my eyes the bathroom door opened. I couldn't hear him but I new he was there I could sense him. I felt a few drops of water on my face, I tried not to smile but I couldn't help it.
"I know your not asleep missy." Carlisle kissed me. I cracked my eyes open. There he was wet hair slicked back, a few droplets of his face, neck and chest with a towel low on his hips. I growned then rolled over.
"Go away," I tried to sound sleepy. But I knew Carlisle wouldn't fall got it. He pulled the covers back and attacked me tickling my sides.
"Stop, stop, uncle time out anything stop I will end up peeing myself." I was laughing so much I nearly did. Carlisle stopped I shot up out of bed, ran to the bathroom to relieve myself. When I came back into the bedroom Carlisle was sitting on the bed still in his towel.
"Now that is a sight I could watch all day." His eyes roamed my naked body. Just a look could make me squirm. I walked over to him and stood between his legs. His hands automatically went to my hips and his head fell to my breasts. "You are a very deadly creature Mrs Cullen. You could get me to do just about anything looking like that."
I laughed. "I could say the same thing Mr. Cullen. Now as much as I would love to stay like this we need to get up and sort through fathers paperwork." Carlisle kissed my breasts. I pushed away from him. "No. I know where that leads to Mr." I pointed my finger at him. "I'm going for a shower."
"Can I join you," he looked at me with such love.
"No, you've had one, you and I both know where it would lead." He wiggled his eyebrows at me. "Yes I do indeed. You get dressed and would you be so good as to get me some coffee please."
"Anything for you my love." He got up kissed me. As I turned to leave he pinched my backside causing me to jump and squeak.
I let the hot water wash over my body it felt nice. I washed my hair, then my body. Once I was done I climbed out and wrapped by body in a towel and used another to dry my hair. When I opened the door there was a cup of coffee, a bowl of fruit and some toast. I smiled. I sipped my coffee, nibbled my toast as I got dressed, blow dried my hair. When I was ready I made my way downstairs to find Marcus and Grace trying to get Jane to eat breakfast while trying to feed Felix.
"Come on Janie just a little bit more." She shook her head. "Come on Jane."
"Cookie cookie cookie." Jane chanted.
I couldn't help but laugh. It looks like Jane found the left over cookies from last night. They all turned to me. "Sorry."
"You just wait," Grace smiled. "Right Jane no cookies until you eat your breakfast. Or I will give them all the Auntie Esme." The look of horror on her face was comical. She started to eat her breakfast but very slowly.
I look around for Carlisle. Marcus noticed. "He's in study trying to see if he can when and were he can take his MCAT."
"Ok. Yeah he said he needed to take it." I walked over to kitchen to get another cup of coffee.
"Ok I can do my MCAT exam next month. They will send the information through." Carlisle came over to me put his arm around my waist and kissed my cheek. "Morning love."
"Good morning, thank you for breakfast." I turned to kiss him. We were interrupted by the gate, the security office would check them out. It was then the house phone went. Marcus answered. "Ok yes. Send them up." We were all very confused.
"Charlie and a deputy are on there way up, something's up." Marcus went to the front door to wait for Charlie.
I looked at Carlisle, trying to think what would bring Charlie here. Could it be what we didn't last night. So many things were running through my mind. Marcus came back in with Charlie and his deputy. We all went into the sitting room, sat down and waited anxiously.
"I will cut to the chase" Charlie was sitting forward arms on his knees. "Esme you parents home was set alight during the early morning. 911 was called at around 3am this morning."
I didn't know what to say. I was in shock.
"Was the fire contained or did it destroy the house." Carlisle asked.
"The fire was contained in the study but we found a body of a man." I gasped and put my hand over my mouth. "We know he was shot but this moment in time that's all we know. He was too badly burnt to make a formal ID so we are waiting for dental records. Now I know the 3 of you went to house yesterday morning." All three of us looked at each other. Charlie smirked. "Come on guys. I had the house watched."
"I should have known." Marcus muttered. "We getting sloppy Carlisle if neither of us saw them. That's bad very bad."
"Yes it is." Charlie was deadly serious. "I take it there was no body there when you entered or left." Charlie raised his eyebrow.
All three of us shook our heads. "No nothing. Yes it was a mess, but no body." Carlisle answered.
"I have to ask I'm assuming you are each other alibis?" "Yes we were all here, you can check the cameras here and in the security hut. I only went out to pick up the kids." Marcus started to get up.
"I will check the hut on the way out. I will check the house cameras just so I can say I have seen them." Charlie then turned to me. "Esme we have concluded the post mortem on your aunt, uncle and cousin. I will spear you the details. The cause of death was a gun shoot to the temple." I could feel the tears welling up. "Now in regards to their funerals, I know you wish to have them buried at the family cemetery. We have been in contact and your family will be held at the undertakers until you and your parents can bury them."
The tears started to fall then, Carlisle grabbed my hand. "Thank you Charlie, you don't know what that means to me and my parents."
"Right can I take a look at the cameras Marcus then we will be on our way." Charlie and his deputy stood.
"Yes of course it's in my study" Marcus showed them the way.
Just then Jane ran in with a cookie her mouth. "Ookie ookie." She ran towards me.
"Oh I see you got your cookie sweetie. "I managed to grab her and put her on my lap.
"Yummy ookie," she was waving it round with a mouthful as well. I couldn't help but laugh. Grace came in with Felix.
"There you missy I turn my back for 2 seconds." Sat collapsed on the other sofa with Felix who was now wide awake. "I love my kids to death but sometimes I wonder why we had them so close together."
"I'm just too sexy to resist," Marcus said as he came back into the sitting room.
"Oh dream on lover boy. You took advantage of me. I was drunk, that is a very rare occasion." She leaned hear head back and closed her eyes.
No one was going to talk about happened with the children here but I think we were all trying to think of who it could be.
"Ze ookie," Jane pushes her cookie towards me.
"No thank you sweetie you eat it." Jane happily munched away on her soggie cookie. I smiled at her.
We sat in silence for a while. I needed to get out I was going crazy. This was just getting worse and worse by the day. I just wanted my old life back.
Carlisle POV
I felt sorry for Esme. Life was going all out control for her. After Charlie left we didn't talk. What was there to talk about. Esme was distant all evening, she really only interacted with the children. When we went to bed she was quite I tried to get her to talk but didn't push. Esme was in bed when I finished in the bathroom, she was curled up on her side of the bed. I could see her body shaking. I climbed into bed, gently picked her up in my arms and held her. There was nothing I could do or say but the one thing I could do was this. I don't know how long we stated like that, we must have fallen asleep as when I woke the next morning Esme was gone.
Hope your enjoying things so far. Thing will get worse I'm affraid.
