Christmas Teaser HOPE EVERYONE HAD A FANTASTIC CHRISTMAS! MINE WAS SMALL BUT IT WAS ABOUT FAMILY! This is just a little insight to the other members and not just Edward and Bella. It also explains something for a future chapter so no one is confused.

Carlisle POV

"What the hell were you thinking Esme? You went along with this? Rose is pregnant for god sake!"

I am pissed. What was her thought process in this? Oh wait she hadn't been thinking.

"I already talked to Isabella. She had no reason to know about our life, but that is no excuse for you" She was fuming. I could tell.

"Don't you talk to me that way Carlisle. I wouldn't have gone through with it had I known we were in any danger. I had my .45 with me."

I hated having to treat her like a child but she didn't understand. And that was partly my fault. I hadn't told her of the recent threat. Most of the time the security detail was just precaution. But this time it was serious.

I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose.

"The Quileute family is trying to move in. Frankie turned up off the dock. We have had shipments end up missing. We have also had threats. I had planned on telling you tonight after dinner. Frankie was found this morning. But you pulled this stunt and just an hour after Frankie." I sighed. "I just didn't need anything to happen to you too."

Now she looked horrified "Oh my goodness Carlisle! Oh I am such an idiot. I wonder how Alec is holding up. Oh that poor man" Esme was now crying and in my arms.

Frankie was my driver Alec's son. He was a good kid. He was in college for engineering. He had nothing to do with the mob. He didn't even know about my family or who his dad worked for. We took care of his schooling through a ghost scholarship that not even Alec had known we did. Alec had lost his wife Jane giving birth to their only son Frankie. The couple at the time had a little girl, Elizabeth, who was only 3 when her mother passed. Now she was all Alec had left. I would set Alec up and have him retire. He needed to be with Elizabeth now. He was getting up in age anyways. He was older than my father, Edward Sr.

"We will take care of Alec my sweet. But you have to know that I won't have you do this again. I refuse to lose you the same way we lost Frankie. He knew nothing of us and he paid a price with his life. We will bring justice to Alec." She nodded and kept repeating "Of course. I understand. Poor Alec"

I held her for a few more minutes till she collected herself. My Esme had a heart of gold and she was a spitfire, but she also knew what she did had been extremely stupid. I was in no way over this but I would double the protection she had. I would also give her that tracking charm for her bracelet. It was meant for an emergency and now was the time to give it to her. It was disguised as a heart for her charm bracelet. She would never know the difference. My boys and Jasper were giving their women disguised trackers as well. Not that the ladies would know.

Once Esme got a hold of herself she told me she would be in the kitchen making a casserole for Alec. I sighed and picked up the phone. It was time. He was ready. I picked up my cell and called Edward.

Emmett POV

"Rose I'm not even going to stress you about the situation. Just know what you did today was stupid. You need to relax. You shouldn't be running about the city doing what you did today." I huffed and lifted her swollen feet onto a pillow on the couch.

"Emmett I am pregnant. Not dying. What the hell could possibly go so wrong with us having a girl's day?" She asked but moaned when I started rubbing her feet.

"The Quileute family is starting stuff." I told her "Babe, they found Frankie today."

"Ok where has the little fucker been? Did he run off with that bitch Heidi to Vegas again? Oh please don't tell me he got drunk and married her" She told me while relaxing back in the couch.

"No babe." I sighed not wanting to break the news. He was her childhood best friend Elizabeth's baby brother. "They found him off the dock. He had one between the eyes."

I caught her when she jumped up and almost fell off the couch. Our women were no stranger to death in this family. Rose had even joked once about having more black dresses than colored ones. But this was personal. He was an innocent. And we would get revenge.

"Oh My God what!" She half shrieked half wailed.

"This is why I didn't want to tell you. You need to think of the twins babe." She was sobbing but you could see that she was trying to calm herself. I was mentally smacking my head on the wall for telling her but I knew one of the ladies, probably Alice, would say something and I wouldn't be there to calm her down.

When she calmed. I explained that she couldn't do what she did today again. She just nodded and continued to silently cry. She was calmer but still crying.

I continued to rub her feet and cover her with the throw on the back of the couch when she finally fell asleep.

It was then I knew I had to call Edward. He needed to tell dad he was ready. Dad didn't want to admit it but he was getting older and times were changing. It wasn't like the old times where you could just cap a guy and get away with it. Now there was high tech everywhere. Times had changed and it was time we changed along with it.

Grabbing my cell off the table I went to my closet and dialed Edward. Pulling out the diamond necklace I had made for Rose. It was a single tear drop diamond that she could wear every day. She would never know but there was a miniscule tracker in the infinity clasp. She and I would be able to take it off her but no one else would.

"Hello?" Edward finally answered

"We need to talk. It is time you took over. You know you're ready and dad knows you're ready." I said

"I'm already at dads. Phil came and was witness. It's already done." He told me.

"Alright boss" I smiled.

Jasper POV

"Jasper just stop!" I dodged another shoe. I loved it when she was feisty, but right now I was pissed. "I wouldn't have gone with her if I felt it was dangerous! I know what you do for a job asshole! My father does happen to be your boss, but while you came into this life after we met and you left being a sniper I GREW UP IN THIS SHIT!" She threw a shirt at me.

I leant against the closet doorframe and watched her finish undressing then stand there looking at her stuff for something for dinner.

"This is different Alice. The Quileute family is trying to encroach" I was interrupted

"You don't get it Jasper. What are they going to do?" She was pissing me off

"They KILLED FRANKIE" I finally snapped.

She dropped to the floor in her underwear.

"You're lying" She whispered

"You know I wouldn't do that Alice" I walked to her and knelt down next to her to hold her.

Frankie had been in the family since birth. He was every woman's sweetie in this family. He was an innocent.

"How? Where? When did you find him?" She asked with tears running down her eyes.

"Georgie was down by the dock to take a walk with a pal we have and saw him floating. He was meant to be found. He was found this morning. That is why we went crazy trying to find you ladies." I told her softly.

She leaned against me and had her phone out and to her ear before I could blink.

"Eddie. Kill them please. Kill them all. Make them pay for taking an innocents life." She listened for a moment and said goodbye then looked up at me.

"Don't stop till they are gone please. The women and children leave but any and all sworn members take them down." Then she crumpled into my lap as I swore to her that I'd wipe them out.
