Sometime after Noah and Jasper join the Cullens

"Here you go Noah. I saw this sweater when I was out shopping and I thought it would look perfect on you." Esme smiles handing a Fuzzy blue sweater out to Noah.

Noah hides his face away in Jasper's arms refusing to take the gift. "Thank you Esme." Jasper says.

Esme smiles sadly, "I'll just leave it here then." She puts the sweater down and walks out of the living room. The clan watch her walk away before turning to Noah and Jasper.

"Hey what's your problem! Esme was just trying to be nice and you were so rude." Rosalie glares.

"Don't trust mommies." Noah whispers so quietly the only reason they hear him is because their enhanced senses.

"Someone explain what that means?" Emmett asks confused.

"The woman who turned us, Maria, was kind. She made me believe I loved her and with the way she doted on Noah we were like a family. In the end it was all a lie, she used us and our powers for her army in the Southern Vampire Wars. Neither of us could tell with our powers what she was truly like until it was too late. He's not being rude to Esme just to be mean he's nervous about her intentions towards him because she acts so motherly."

Esme comes from around the corner with tears in her eyes that can never fall. "I'm sorry Maria pretended to be a mother to you. A mother is a protector and friend. She offers unconditional love, protection, and a guiding hand when it's needed. It's always been my dream to be a mother and if you'll let me I'd like to be yours."

Jasper tells Noah her emotions are genuine and after a few moments Noah nods in acceptance.

Esme approaches Noah, "Do you want to do some arts and crafts with me?"

"No." Noah answers and speeds away to wherever Jasper is

Noah is looking around for his fluffy blankets as he and Jasper were planning on making a pillow fort. He finds them folded on the couch still warm from the dryer.

He looks to the past and sees Esme washing, drying, and folding them. All while she has a kind smile on her face.

Esme is sitting on the couch looking through cooking books when Noah comes and sits next to her. He doesn't say anything and Esme just smiles brightly moving the book so they both can look through it.
