***************************
Carlisle settled in his office and picked up the book he'd been reading. Emmett and Rosalie were off to buy a new bed and the other three were upstairs being quiet for the moment. He heard the quiet talking of his children and started in on his book, figuring he'd have no more trouble.
***************************
Alice sat on her and Jaspers bed humming softly. Jasper quirked an eye at her as his lips twitched slightly. He knew what she was humming, and wondered if she knew exactly what she was humming. He smiled slightly as he watched her.
Edward could hear Alice from in his room and grinned. Now that Rosalie wasn't here he could sing again and Alice couldn't say anything because she started it. He started of soft a first. "This is the song that doesn't end yes it goes on and on my friend," he began to sing.
"Some people started singing it not knowing what it was and they'll continue singing it forever just because," Alice belted out as she heard Edward start to sing. She looked up at her beloved and was surprised that he looked a little annoyed. "What's wrong Jazzy?" she asked tilting her head to the side a little bit.
"That song is wrong," Jasper replied his arms folded across his chest.
"Well I didn't like the beer song and you ignored me, so I think the same should go for you," she said as she stood up.
***************************
Carlisle shook his head the minute he heard Edward sing, but was surprised when Alice and not Jasper continued it. He smiled when he heard the conversation between Jasper and Alice. They weren't loud like Emmett and Rosalie, but it could get out of hand just as quickly. He debated on whether he should go up and stop them before anything got started. He decided to wait since Jasper and Alice weren't getting loud, yet.
***************************
Edward grinned when he heard Alice belt the rest of the song out and then chuckled to himself as he heard Jasper start to complain. This day just got better and better. He decided another round was called for. "This is the song that doesn't end, yes it goes on and on my friend. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was and they'll continue singing it forever just because," Edward sang loudly, hoping Alice would continue.
Alice grinned as she heard Edward belt out the song in its entirety. "This is the song that doesn't end, yes it goes on and on my friend. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was and they'll continue singing it forever just because," Alice sang as she stared at Jasper.
Jasper glowered at Alice. It was a stupid song and not as fun as the beer song. He knew she was just paying him back, but still he hated this song. "Alice please stop," Jasper asked quietly
"No I had to listen to seven verses of your stupid song so I think it's only fair that Edward and I get to sing our song seven times and we've only sung it three times. You have four more verses to listen to Jazzy," Alice said sweetly.
***************************
Carlisle felt a sudden wave of anger wash over him and knew it was time to go upstairs and calm things down. He headed upstairs and once again saw Edward standing at the end of the hall looking on curiously. He sighed and thought, "Not Again."
He felt Edward creep up behind him as he knocked on Alice and Jasper's door. "Alice? Jasper? May I come in?" Carlisle asked with only a hint of annoyance in his voice this time.
"Yes," Alice's said through the still closed door.
This time when he opened the door, there was no demolished bed nor trashed room. Alice was sitting on the bed clearly amused and not at all affected by Jasper. Jasper was leaning against their dresser, his arms crossed over his chest, with anger and annoyance plastered on his face.
"Son, are you alright?" Carlisle asked as he walked over to Jasper.
"Trying to be," Jasper said honestly. "If she and Edward would stop singing that song," he added more quietly.
Edward, having seen nothing interesting had walked back to his room, when he heard Jasper's quiet muttering though he simply couldn't help himself. "This is the song that doesn't end, yes it goes on and on my friend. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was and they'll continue singing it forever just because," he sang loudly.
Jasper growled low in his throat. He straightened up and started to head towards the door when he felt someone restrain him. He turned and glared at Carlisle, who had caught his arm.
"Easy son, you don't want to do anything that you'll regret," Carlisle said gently as he walked towards Jasper, keeping a firm grip on his son's arm.
"Oh I'm not going to regret taking one of my pillows and cramming it down his throat," Jasper growled.
"Jasper do you want to do that to me, too?" Alice whispered as she watched her mate.
"NO! No, I would never harm you my angel. I may get annoyed with you, but I would never ever harm you," Jasper said as he jerked out of Carlisle's grip and immediately went to sit beside Alice on the bed, taking her hand into his own. He stared uncertainly into Alice's golden eyes.
Alice smiled, withdrew her hands from his and wrapped her arms around her neck as she kissed his cheek. She felt his arms wrap around her, and pull her closer. "I'm sorry, I won't sing it anymore. Forgive me?" she asked as she nuzzled Jasper's neck.
"Always," Jasper murmured against her hair.
Carlisle quietly left the room and walked down the hall to Edward's room. He knocked on the door and when he was invited in he gave his son a pointed look. "Behave and do not provoke him anymore," Carlisle told him.
"Fine," Edward sighed.
Carlisle left and closed the door behind him. He headed back to his study hoping he'd be able to finish his book in peace now that he was sure there would be no more singing.
