AN: So here is my first try at a fan fic. I have been reading through many of your fics and there are so many great ones out there. I have to admit I was frozen into fear of writing my own piece of fiction. Then while over at the Twilight Lexicon I was reading through the Vampire Mating thread when someone mentioned it would be interesting to read something about Carlisle having THE talk with Edward. So while my daughter had a nap, I thought I would give it a shot. It's not very long, but it's my first try. So please R/R.

Disclaimer: The Twilight series and all of its characters belong to Stephenie Meyer's - I'm just having some fun with them while waiting for Eclipse to come out!!!

Edward's POV

I had just pulled into the garage when I heard Esme and Carlisle talking. She was saying something about Carlisle having a talk with me. What did he want to talk to me about? I hadn't broken anything lately so I shouldn't be in trouble.

"There's nothing that he doesn't already know." Carlisle was saying.

"But this is as new to him, as it would be if we were back in 1918. He may be over a century old but he has no 'hand on' experience with girls, Carlisle. Please talk to him, for me?" Esme whispered to him.

Then I heard them kissing and then came Carlisle's thoughts.

"LA LA LA LA LA LA…Kittens are cute and soft, umm, Power Rangers, Dragon Ball Z….Bella... she's so beautiful and perfect." I tried desperately to distract myself from the images going through Carlisle's mind. But thinking about Bella wasn't helping either. How I wish that I didn't hear peoples thoughts all the time.

I had just stepped in the door when I saw Carlisle come into the entry way.

"Ahhh…Edward, just the man I was looking for. Would you join me in the office, I wanted to have a quick chat with you?" Carlisle asked simply.

He was thinking about baseball. He would think of random things like baseball when he didn't want me to know what he was really thinking. Oh god, this was going to be excruciating. I was frowning as I walked into Carlisle's office.

"Why don't you have a seat Edward?"

I sat down and looked at Carlisle waiting for him to start.

"So Edward how are things going with you and Bella?"

"They're great, now that I can see her everyday. I was a fool for leaving her in the first place. I believe Bella has forgiven me, even though I don't know if I'll ever be able to forgive myself for what I put her through. But that's just like Bella – loving, warm, excepting. She's an amazing woman, Carlisle."

"I know she is Edward. Just like you've grown into a wonderful man, I'm proud to say that you're my son. And we don't always make the right choices, even though we have the best intentions. It's what you do now that really counts. And you will have an eternity to make it up to her. I mean once she's like us. And I did promise that I would change her after graduation."

"Well actually, I told her I would do it, if she would marry me first."

"You asked her to marry you? What did she say?" Carlisle's face didn't hide is excitement.

"I think she turned me down actually. She said that her mother wouldn't be very happy if she got married before she was 30."

"Umm…she probably needs sometime to think through everything. Don't worry Edward, she'll come around. I mean so much has happened in the last few weeks…" Carlisle trailed off, and then at the last second he threw in, "And by the way how much has happened between you two, physically?"

I was taken off guard for a moment there. Was he really asking me for intimate details of our relationship? I didn't quite know how to respond.

"I…umm…what…well we've…aaahhh…Carlisle, what exactly are you asking me?"

"Edward, you are a grown man, and I know that you are quite aware of the relationship between a man and a woman, but until now I didn't think it was necessary for us to have this talk."

What talk?? I screamed in my head. He isn't really going to explain how sex works is he? How innocent does he think I am? I live in a house with 3 happily married sexually satisfied couples, not to mention that I've been around for a few decades! I know what happens between a man and woman!!! I couldn't believe we were having this conversation.

Carlisle continued, "see when a man loves a woman there are certain feelings th-"

I stopped him before he could continue, "Carlisle, please, we don't need to have this talk right now. Actually we don't need to have this talk ever. I know the feelings you're talking about – I've felt them all the time since I met Bella. Have you forgotten that I can see what you guys are thinking even when you don't want me to? Even when I don't want to! Look I love Bella, and one day after we're married all the things that I know and have seen," I shuddered, "will make sense to me."

"So does that mean, you and Bella haven't…" Carlisle trailed off.

"No. We haven't. Not that I don't want to, but it's not really possible with her being so breakable and me, well you know…" This is embarrassing. I can't believe I'm talking to my father about making love to Bella. If I was human, I would be as red as Bella when she was embarrassed. Oh Bella, beautiful Bella with her pale skin and delicately pink cheeks. God I loved it when she blushes. Stop thinking about Bella, you can't have these thoughts here, NOW… Ahhh…let's see My Little Pony, cars, grease, punching Emmett in the face. Ahhh…that's better.

Carlisle was saying something about being gentle and careful. Wait!?? What?? Hold on, what was Carlisle saying while I was trying to distract myself from getting too excited.

"Carlisle, what did you just say???"

"I was saying that it is possible for the two of you to be intimate with each other even if Bella is human. But you're right, it's better if you wait till after marriage."

"No, no, no, wait a second. What do you mean we can be intimate with each other, while she's still human?"

"Well Edward if you are gentle and thoughtful as much as is possible in those moments of passion…"

Oh god, I just got a visual of Carlisle being gentle and thoughtful with Esme.

"Ahhh…stop stop, please stop thinking. You know what, I get the idea. Let's just stop right here. I don't want to see any more educational video's of how to make love to your woman. Thanks so much for the talk Carlisle, it was….umm…interesting." I yelled as I dashed from Carlisle's office.

As I was up the first flight of stairs I heard Carlisle call, "if you need protection come and see me…"

I groaned as I made it up to my room. The only thing I needed right now was a lukewarm shower.
