Thanks for all the reviews. I'm happy everyone is enjoying the story. Here is my update. I might not have a new one until Tuesday, but you'll get two by then. I am also going to put out another story called 'Chance Fate'. Thanks again for the review.

Dining With Vamps
"Hello I'm Alice Rose Carson, " Alice stated while placing her hand in front of Carlisle and Esme for a handshake. I was completely in shock to see these two beautiful creatures once again. The beautiful compassionate face of Carlisle Cullen and the round loving face of Esme Cullen stood before us smiling. I was brought back to reality when I saw Alice shudder at the touch of Carlisle's hand. "Nice to meet you Alice. Sorry a doctors hands are never warm," was his response to her shiver.
I had to stifle a laugh when I heard him say this. Even with my efforts I knew he heard my laugh, so when it was my turn to introduce myself I saw amusement playing in his eyes. I held out my hand just like Alice had and said, " Hello my name is Isabella Marie Carson, but please just call me Bella." Carlisle grasped my hand and responded, "It is a pleasure to meet you Bella. Thank you for joining us." As he let go of my hand I moved on to shake hands with Esme. Her eyes were sparkling as she smiled at me. In that instant I knew I had missed both of them so much. The three of us shared a silent moment where it seemed all of us were content to just be in each other presence once again. It wasn't until the hostess came to seat us that the spell was broken.
Jeffery took my hand and we led the way to the table. When we reached it Jeffery pulled out the chair for Alice and then for me. As he pushed my chair in he lowered his head to my ear and whispered, " Have I told you how beautiful you look this evening Mrs. Carson? " His voice was husky and sent shivers down my spine. " No you haven't, but I forgive you for now," I purred back. When he finally left my ear I turned to see two solemn looking faces in front of me. I blushed and cleared my throat realizing just how weird it was sitting with my husband and my ex-boyfriends parents.
"Alice you have a lovely name. In fact my daughters share your name too. By chance how did you come by it?' Esme asked. When she asked this question her eyes landed on me, but before I could answer Jeffery chimed in. "Bella was the one to chose her name. She borrowed the name from two of her best friends back in highschool. They moved away before I arrived in Forks. From the way Bella talks of them they seemed like a great pair. It was really unfortunate that I missed out on meeting them." Whenever I was reminded of Alice and Rosalie I always became a little sad, and Jeffery knew this. He put his arm around me a squeezed me tightly in a reassuring hug. " It was a long time ago. They really were good friends. I doubt they even remember me," I stated with a sad smile.
" It is sad though because I never got to say goodbye before they left. If I could I would like one more chance to say goodbye." I said this and looked into the eyes of Carlisle and Esme willing them to understand that I missed them dearly. As we once again connected in a silent trance staring at one another the waitress came to take orders for our drinks and food. When I noticed the waitress come around to Carlisle and Esme I held my breath. I knew vampires couldn't eat food because it would just sit in their stomach decomposing. This could get very uncomfortable for a vampire. I knew they were going to have to throw up anything they eat tonight. If it hadn't seemed suspicious I would have saved them from the upcoming discomfort. Once that was done conversation started up again.
" Bella I hear your going to be teaching at the prep school this year. What subject do you teach?" asked Carlisle. " I am going to be teaching British Literature and American Literature. Alice will also be attending the prep school as well." I replied.
" Really, I hope are children treat you well if you have them in your classes this year."
When he mentioned several children Alice asked him, " How many children do you have?" " Oh we have five; three boys and two girls. Two will be juniors this year, and the other three will be seniors. They can be rowdy sometimes. I hope they won't cause any trouble." The last part of Carlisle's statement was directed at me, but it wasn't meant to mean in teacher student form. I knew he was talking about causing trouble for me about the past and a certain son of theirs.
"I'm sure they will be fine Bella can handle any student. She gave all the students a run for there money back in Forks. Many tried to out smart my wife, but no one ever succeeded," announced a proud Jeffery. I blushed a little from his comment, and couldn't help looking at him with love and admiration. " Alice, are you interested in sports?" Esme asked while I was staring at Jeffery. " No I'm terribly clumsy. I get that from my mother," Alice announced with disdain. " I rather enjoy playing the piano. Mom taught me when I was small. I dabble with my own compositions now, but one day I hope to be a great composer." "That's very impressive dear," exclaimed Carlisle, but Esme was the one to ask the question, " You play piano Bella? " I knew where this question came from. When I first met Esme she asked if I played, and I told her my mom tired to teach me, but it didn't stick. " Yes, my mother attempted the to teach me when I was younger, but I never enjoyed it. Finally when I was in highschool I heard the most wondrous lullaby called 'A Swan's Lullaby'. I was determined to learn it, and I eventually learned how to play. I'm really only average, Alice is the real master when it comes to piano," I answered. " She is only being modest. She plays extremely well. Believe me, I was the one she made sit through her lessons. My ears will never forget it either, " Jeffery joked. I jabbed him with my elbow and he laughed before taking my hand and kissed it. I felt the blush creep on my face, which caused Jeffery to smile even more. " Well Bella you will have to play for me sometime soon. I'd love to hear you play, " Esme requested.
Before I could accept this request Alice decided she wanted to inquire more about their children. " How did you come by so many children? I'm sorry if I sound rude, but you seem very young for teenage children," asked Alice. " Oh no. It's not rude at all. Edward is my brother's boy. He passed away, and left Edward to me. We adopted Emmett and Alice not too long ago. Jasper and Rosalie came to us from Esme's side. Even though they aren't ours they're still our children," answered Carlisle. " Wow that's amazing. Which ones are the juniors?" " Alice and Edward are juniors. You may have them in some of your classes this year," answered Esme. " I hope so," exclaimed Alice! She may have been excited, but I wasn't sure if I wanted Edward around my daughter. I couldn't bare it if she was hurt like me.
While I was thinking of how to keep Alice away from Edward the waitress approached the table with our meals. Just as she was coming towards me a man suddenly moved out his car and bumped into her. A chain reaction started to take place as the tray started to fall over our table. All the plates, glasses and silverware crashed to the floor and on to our laps. Jeffery covered Alice so nothing could cut her and I laid over him to protect him. I didn't even feel the knife slice through me, but what I did see was the dark irises of the vampires whose thirst was calling for my blood.
I hope you liked the chapter. I will have two new chapters for you on Tuesday. School will be starting in Chapter 5, so there's something to look forward to. I can't to tell you how the Cullens will react when they find out Bella is their teacher. Stay tune to the story, and please keep reviewing. i wasn't quite satisfied with this chapter, so please let me know how it was. Thanks!
