CARLISLE'S POV
"Emmett." I said softly. "I know this hurts, son. But I need you to remain still."
We were in my office at home, I was currently using a pair of tweezers to remove bits of rock and tree bark from Emmett's shoulder. I wanted to make certain that all of the debris was out before I reattached his arm.
"I'm trying Dad." He said, his voice filled with pain.
"I know, son." I assured him. "You're doing great, I'm almost done."
"His arm's finished, Papa." Jasper said, as he laid Emmett's detached arm gently on the table beside were Emmett was sitting.
As I was cleaning Emmett's shoulder, Jasper worked on digging the debris from his arm.
"Thank you, Son." I smiled at him.
I was still pretty upset with them, and I had already decided to punish them for their actions. But now was not the time. First I had a son to patch up.
"All done." I said, as I tossed the tweezers down.
"Now you're going to reattach it, aren't you?" Emmett asked, fear evident in his voice.
"Yes." I replied. "I will try to make it as quick as possible."
"Okay." He said, squeezing his eyes shut. "I'm ready."
Before I could reply, we heard the door open downstairs and my wife's voice called out asking where everyone was.
"Go and let her know what happened." I said to Jasper. I had been hoping I would have Emmett's arm reattached before she returned.
"Yes Sir, Papa." Jasper said, sadly. I knew he didn't want to be the one to tell his Mother what him and his brother had been up too. But I wanted Esme to be prepared for when Emmett screamed out from pain when I reattached his arm. And I knew he would scream out.
After Jasper left the room, I waited a couple minutes, then picked up my son's arm. "It'll be over in a moment." I assured him, then began the process of reattaching the arm.
I was not surprised by the scream of pain that came from Emmett, or the door to my office flying open and Esme rushing in. She was at her son's side in an instant, wrapping her arms around him.
"It's okay, Em." She said softly, as he buried his face into her shoulder. "You are being very brave, it'll be all over soon."
Emmett didn't say anything, but he nodded his head slightly. Burying his face deeper into his Mother's shoulder.
If I hadn't had known that my son was hurting, it would have been comical seeing them like that. Esme was tiny compared to our bruin son.
"It'll be sore for a few days." I said, after the arm was completely attached. "But the intense pain should be easing very soon."
"It already is." Emmett said, his voice muffled by Esme's shoulder.
"Come on, Baby Bear." Esme said, as she stood up, helping Emmett stand as well. "Let's get you in bed so you can rest, it'll help ease the pain some more."
"I…I can't Mom." He said sadly, glancing at me. "I'm kinda in trouble."
"You're Mom's right." I said. "Go rest for a while. I know you hate to wait for your punishment, but I want that arm healed before your spanking. "
"How long do I have to wait?" He asked miserably.
"Till morning."
"Come on, Em." Esme said.
"Yes Ma'am."
They walked to the door, where Jasper was standing. Esme stopped and gently placed her hand on Jasper's arm.
"Are you sure you're not hurt, Honey?" She asked.
"No Ma'am." Jasper assured her. "I'm fine." Then he winced and added "Until Papa gets a hold of me."
"He won't give you anything you don't deserve." She said. Her voice was still soft, but held a serious note to it.
"I know, Mama."
"What you two did was very dangerous, you both could have been hurt so much worse then Em was. Or even killed." Her voice turned sad and pained as she added. "I could not stand to lose another son."
"We're okay, Mom." Emmett said, as he wrapped his good arm around his Mother and kissed her on the top of the head. "We're so sorry for scaring you, but we're okay."
"Yeah, Mama." Jasper agreed. "We won't do anything that stupid again."
"You better not, neither one of you." She said, giving them both a hard look. "Or I will add a few licks to your backsides after your Father is done. Do you understand me?"
"Yes Ma'am." They both said, hanging their heads.
Then her face and voice softened. "Come on, Em."
Esme and Emmett left the room, leaving Jasper and I alone. He stood by the door, looking at his shoes.
"Come here Son." I said.
"Yes Sir." He walked over and stood in front of me.
"I'm sure you know why what you was wrong." I said sternly.
"Yes Sir." He said, looking up. "It was dangerous and we could have been killed. Emmett was hurt badly, but it could have been so much worse. " Then I saw a look of horror appear on his face as he realized something. "Someone else could have been hurt or killed also. You went there to investigate the explosions, you could have gotten hurt. Or Mom or one of my other siblings."
"You're correct." I said, my voice still stern. "A lot of horrible things could have happened because of your carelessness."
"I'm so sorry, Papa." He said, sincerely.
"I know, son." I said, my voice softening some. "Everyone makes mistakes and bad choices. The key is to learn from them, and I know you have already learned from this." Then my voice hardened again and I added. "And your punishment will reinforce that learned lesson."
I walked over to my desk and motioned for Jasper to follow me. Once there I said. "Please hand me your belt."
Jasper's hands fumbled with his belt buckle for a few seconds, then he slid the thick leather belt through the loops and handed it to me. I very seldom used anything other then my hand on my sons, but for serious things like this, I used a belt. I had only had to use a belt three other times on Jasper in all of the years he had been with us. Edward had only received the belt twice. Emmett was an over achiever , this would be the seventh time I had to use a belt on him.
I have never used a belt on the girls, and never plan to. I did not care if that made me a chauvinist.
"Lower your jeans and underwear, then bend over." I instructed.
"Yes Sir." Jasper said, as he did as he was told. Once he placed his hands on the desk and leaned forward, I placed a hand on the small of his back. I laid the belt on the desk and began spanking him with my hand. I made sure to cover every inch if his bottom, then moved on to his sit spots.
Jasper stayed quite while I spanked his bottom, but started hissing in pain when I started my attack on his sit spots. I moved down to his upper thighs and he started making grunting sounds and moans. I moved back up to his bottom and he started whimpering.
I stopped the spanking and took a moment to rub small circles in his back. "Almost done, son." I said, as I picked up the belt.
I swing my arm, back and landed the strip of leather across the middle of his bottom.
"Awww!" he grunted out.
Swish Crack! Swish Crack! Swish Crack! Swish Crack!
"Please s…stop!" he cried out as four more licks landed in the same spot.
It hurt me seeing him in pain, but I knew I had to finish this. Jasper was my son and it was my job to teach him. It was my job to ensure he knew the difference of right and wrong. And it was my job to let him know that I loved him enough to do my job.
Swish Crack! Swish Crack! Swish Crack! Swish Crack! Swish Crack!
"OHHHH! I…I'm s..sorrrry!" he yelled out as five licks landed on his sit spots.
"Two more, Son." I said. "Then it's over."
I landed the last two to his upper thighs and his shoulders sagged as he sobbed tearlessly.
I tossed the belt on the desk and took a couple steps back to give him a little privacy. He slowly stood up and pulled his shorts and jeans back up, sobbing louder as the rough material rubbed against his enflamed skin.
As soon as he was redressed, I wrapped him in a tight hug and started rubbing his back. "It's over son, you're forgiven."
Jasper returned the hug, burying his face into my shoulder. His sobs subsided, but neither one of us released our hold on the other.
"I'm sorry, Papa." He mumbled into my shoulder.
"It's okay, Jasper." I assured him. "You've been punished, it's over."
After a few moments, we broke apart.
"Emmett is staying in his room till morning, to give his arm time to heal. You are to stay in yours till then also."
"Yes Sir."
"I Love you, Jasper." I smiled at him.
"I love you too, Papa." He smiled back.

RENESMEE'S POV
I was sitting in the back seat of Aunt Rosalie's car, wearing a pair of headphones and listening to Taylor Smith's new song. My Aunts were sitting in the front seat, discussing my disappearing act.
Both of them were mad at me, so was Leah. Once we got to the car, I was ordered to place the headphones on so I couldn't hear what they were saying.
I was mad too, all I did was try to see the clowns. I was bored, they should have known that and left earlier. I like shopping, but not spending a lifetime in a shoe store. Now a book or music store, I could spend forever in one of them.
My angry melted away as I realized that we did spend a lot of time at the book store and the music store. And in both stores, I was really the only one looking around the whole time. My Aunts and Leah had spent most of the time listening to me and helping me pick out what I wanted.
Thinking about it, I knew that they had to have been bored. But they didn't complain. I felt my eyes watering up as I realized how selfish I had been. I looked at my Aunts and saw their concern when they saw my wet eyes.
Aunt Rosalie quickly pulled over on the side of the rode and they were both over the seats and in the back with me in an instant. Aunt Rose pulled my headphones off and sat me in her lap.
"What's wrong, baby girl?" She asked.
"I'm sorry I'm such a horrible niece." I said, as a few tears started rolling down my cheeks.
"You are an amazing niece." Aunt Alice said, gently running a hand through my hair.
"But you had to have been bored in the book and music store." I said. "But you didn't complain. But I wandered off and worried you. I'm sorry."
"Oh, Sweetie." Aunt Rosalie said, hugging me tightly to her chest. "You are a little kid, little kids get bored easily. It doesn't make you a bad person, or a bad niece. And we weren't bored, we're happy in any store."
"Yeah." Aunt Alice agreed. "And we're even more happy when we're spending time with our favorite Niece."
"So dry up those tears." Aunt Rose said.
Aunt Rose hugged me again, then Aunt Alice hugged me. I felt a lot better, I was glad they weren't mad at me anymore. But I was still worried about being punished. I knew they wouldn't give me that bad of a punishment, but they might tell Mommy and Daddy, and that would mean a spanking.
"We are going to have to punish you, Sweetheart." Aunt Rose said, sadly. And I thought Daddy was the mind reader.
"We discussed it and decided that you are not to wear the new shoes or read the new books for two days." Aunt Alice said, her voice also sad. "Or play the new music."
"Okay." I said, not happy about the punishment. But I knew I got off very lightly. "Are you going to tell Mommy and Daddy?"
"Fraid so, Sweet pea." Aunt Rose said. "You know we can't keep things from Edward, he reads our minds. The little creep."
"But don't worry." Aunt Alice said. "Since we punished you, they won't."
