Moose on the Loose

Chapter 11 – Seeing it All

Carlisle

"Hello?"

"Hey Kris."

"Hi Carlisle. How are you doing? Is Melvin there?"

"I'm doing well. If you mean Melvin the Moose, yes he was, but he just left for home. Why are you calling?"

"Ah Emma called Anna and when I checked my voicemails from last night there was one from him on it saying he was with vegetarian vampires having a great time and that I should visit them in Forks to leave gifts this Christmas, especially for his new friend Edward. I know you are the only vegetarian vampires in Forks and Edward is your son."

"Well this has certainly been a strange morning and it's only just begun. I know we agreed that you didn't need to come here for Christmas because we had more than enough, but maybe you could just leave one gift for each of the kids and please don't forget the wolves down at the reservation, they really helped us out this past year." By the shear look of shock and hurt, I knew Emmett was going to flip a fang at me when I get off the phone.

"Okay, I'll be sure to stop by. Have a great day my friend." Not likely after that revelation.

"You too Kris." I hung up the phone and Emmett pounced.

"How could you not let Santa come here? I've been a good vampire not eating people. We've all been good." Oh god, if he could cry, he'd be balling like nobody's business right now.

"I know, but I thought we had enough things and money to buy what we wanted."

"Buuuut, it's a gift from Santa, I'd need nothing else." Damn big goofy vampire was so sad and it was never good to have a sad Emmett he'd bring everyone down with him. I need to make this right, damage control.

"I'm sorry. I tell you what, when we get Edward all settled I'll call Kris about us taking a trip to the North Pole and you can meet him and Mrs. Claus. Okay? Now, come give papa smurf a hug."

That's all it took and he was squeezing the stuffing out of me. "Thank you papa, I love you. Now go see about our baby brother to make sure he's well, maybe he wants to come, all of us, the wolves too." He really was a big hearted guy.

He let me go and I grabbed Esme's hand. We walked slowly up the stairs which had another benefit; we were able to survey the damage as we went.

At the top of the steps, the banister had finger indentations in it and the walls along the hallway had scuffs, dents, cracks and a few holes. I squeezed Esme's hand to make sure she was okay, but when we turned the corner, nothing could have prepared us for the sight in front of us that made us gasp. Edward's door frame was cracked and chunks were gouged out of it, and the door was hanging precariously from its hinges.

We approached the door and I dropped Esme's hand. I lifted the door off the hinges and moved it safely to the side. We looked into the room and surrounding the crazy mess/disaster of epic proportions, were Edward and Bella snuggled under the covers, naked. Edward was sleeping and that had to be from the tainted blood.

Esme nudged me with a grin so wide that I had to hold back my laughter at the scene laid out before us. Clothes ripped and strewn everywhere, torn carpet, headboard cracked, gouges in the dresser and nightstand, body imprint hole of Edward in the bathroom door and feathers everywhere. It looked like is snowed in here, yeah Blizzard Edward tore through here.

I tapped Esme's nose and made a motion to see if she smelled what I smelled, blood which meant they had sex. She nodded, and in trying to hold back laughing as we stepped into the room, the sound that came out was more like a throat clearing.

Bella smiled and looked our way, "morning Carlisle, Esme."

"Morning Bella," then she gasped and threw the blankets over their heads. We could hear her whispering, "Edward, Edward wake up."

"What is it my love. I don't want to get up, just want to stay here wrapped around you." He stretched pulling the blankets off his face.

"Morning son." His eyes went wide and he tossed the covers back over his head.

"Oh god, oh god, oh god, what are we going to do Edward?" She whispered.

"First, you need to move up here, you're breathing down there is going to cause a problem to rise up, namely me." He whispered. Esme and I just looked at one another and smiled. These two were a riot.

"Okay, but what…do you think they know…you know…"

"No, no definitely not, they couldn't." This was like our own private comedy show.

"What if they do? Will they be mad or tell my dad? I don't want you getting shot." As if we'd do that to them, we were quite proud they took the next step in their relationship. Even though Edward might have been under the influence, it just loosened and relaxed him enough so he didn't think so hard about it. Besides, I didn't relish the thought of my child becoming target practice for an irate father.

"They're very cool parents; Emmett always says that, so probably not."

"Probably?"

"Definitely not."

"You do know that we can hear you two? Vampires remember?"

"OH GOD THEY KNOW! I'm just going to live under the covers here for the rest of my life. I hope you don't mind."

"Bella, I don't mind at all, as long as I can live right here next to you."

"What should we do?"

"I don't know."

I cleared my throat, "Urmm, still here and still can hear you. Please come out from under the blankets and talk to us. I promise we won't bite." And at that last statement Esme burst out laughing.

Slowly the blankets moved down and the mess of bronze and then brown hair, then faces came into view. They moved the blankets so they were under their chins.

"Hiiigghh, mom, dad. I can explain." I looked over at Esme and she was just beaming from being called mom. He rarely did, so this meant the world to her.

"Really? Please tell me that you used protection." I just had to rib him a little. Of course Bella was blushing cherry red and looked at Edward.

"Edward, you're blushing. You're a blusher, just like me." Bella declared. It was amazing the effects that this tainted moose was having on a vampire's body.

"How? Carlisle?"

"Well son, near as I can tell the tainted moose blood must have reacted with your venom and you are having side effects from it. I would equate it to how medications react in humans and the side effects they can have from them. I don't believe there is anything to worry about as it will dissipate as the blood leaves your system."

With that statement out there, before I could stop her, Esme flew to the bed and sat on the edge near Edward. Taking his face into her hands, she looked him over very carefully.

"How are you feeling my sweet baby boy?" I saw Bella smile and I thought Edward was going to shy away like he normally does, but he surprised me.

"Mom, I feel fine, thank you for asking and being here for me."

"Of course I'm here for you, and you too Bella, always. Are you feeling okay Bella?"

"Thanks Esme, I'm feeling fine, no hangover either." Bella said. Hmmm, what did that mean? She certainly didn't drink a drunk moose.

"Thanks mom, I love you."

"I love you too my sweet boy." She leaned over and kissed him on the forehead.

I knew that I needed to get Esme off the bed before they realized that they were naked under those covers and freaked out. I moved to Esme's side and put my hands on her shoulders.

"Esme dear, let's go, everything's fine here." Well as fine as it could be under the circumstances.

"Okay my love."

Esme stood up and we turned which gave us a full view of the bathroom. We gasped in unison at what we saw. Cracked, broken and missing tiles everywhere.

"What's the matter?" Bella asked and she moved to sit up to look. "Ummmm, Ummm Edward, I think we might have done some damage last night."

Some! This is what she classifies as some. We are totally in for it when she's changed; Emmett has found his other damaging the house half.

"No, that couldn't have been us. It had to be Emmett." Edward was now sitting up and surveying the room.

"Ahh, not in the bathroom, you kind of fell on the floor after I…my… lips…touched your…" Edward cut her off.

"Oh yeah, but I really enjoyed that so the damage was worth it. We'll have to do it again and again." Hmmm, clearly his filter isn't working very well because there was only one thing that could've made him fall back that hard and Bella was clearly in front of him. No one falls that hard unless it was a shock. Her lips were on his cock. I smiled at that thought, he has now joined the rest of us and knows how special a woman he has, not that he didn't already, but now it's on an entirely new level. I winked as Esme and she winked back.

"Not a problem, I wanted to redo that bathroom anyway. Now why don't you two get dressed and come downstairs for breakfast. What would you like?"

They both groaned and fell back onto the bed together. I had to laugh they were so adorable.

"I'd like some pancakes if you wouldn't mind." Bella said

"Mom, I'd like some eggs." Edward said and we looked at him. "Huh, don't know where that came from."

"No worries son, remember side effects."

"Yeah." He sheepishly acknowledged.

Esme and I walked to the door and just before I left the room, I couldn't help myself, I turned and said, "Edward, you might not want to hang your underwear on the lamp, it's a fire hazard."

With that, we walked out, but still heard them groan 'how embarrassing.'

We walked back into the kitchen to be greeted by four grinning faces.
