A/N: Wow, yes you guys may yell at me all you want, I have not updated in over a month... Well, School just started up again and let me tell you, I've had so much homework so far already! So Last chapter got literally zero response, except for one person adding the story to the favorites list (You know who you are!) now is that because you guys don't like the story? Was last weeks chapter too confusing or was it just downright bad? I really want to know what you guys think of my story,even if you just leave an anonymous review, I'll take it. Theres only going to be a few more chapters of the story:( But fear not because I am currently writing a Carlisle and Esme all human story with RxE, BxE, JxA and possibly Nessie and Jacob in it. Feel free to PM me with any ideas on that story or any ideas on this story. I don't bite and I would love to hear some feedback. Well, enough rambling and advertising my new stories. Although if you want to, you can read some one-shots I have on my profile and review those, that would be great! Well, enough with me rambling (Yeah, i know I've already said that..) And onto the story!

Disclaimer- (Yes I have forgot to for the other 6 chapters) I own nothing, but I wish I did. But i do have a Carlisle Life-Size Cardboard Cutout. (Yeah, I know I'm crazy and a little bit random)

Chapter 7: Discussing, Planning and Pictionary.

Carlisle POV:

Derek soon arrived back with Esme's sweater.

"Thank you so much, Derek." Esme said to him.

"Oh yeah, it's no problem." He responded. Meredith and Cristina still looked shook up from what I said to them. I walked over to Meredith to give her a hug good-bye.

"Bye Mer." I said to her out loud, then I whispered "Please don't be afraid. I am protecting you by not telling you." She tensed up at my embrace, but after telling her that, she seemed to relax a little bit.

Then Esme walked over to give her a hug as well. "Exactly what Carlisle said." Esme whispered to Meredith.

"Well, I'll see you guys all tomorrow then." I said to all three of them.

Derek nodded. "Okay, great."

Cristina and Meredith both bolted into the house. Derek had a look of confusion, but followed behind them. He flashed us one last smile and closed the door. From inside the house I could hear Meredith and Cristina screaming. A great thing about being a vampire was the extraordinary hearing that you have.

"What is you guy's problems?" Derek asked them.

At the same time they both explained what I told them. "Derek… Carlisle… it's better if you don't know… harmless… not like us…!" Meredith explained.

"Wait what?" Derek asked.

"What she means is that when you got Esme's sweater, Carlisle told us that they weren't like us. But they are harmless and it would be better if we don't know. And something about he's protecting us by not telling us." Cristina explained in a calmer voice than Meredith's but was still shaky.

There was a moment of complete silence. Esme and I turned to walk away thinking that Derek didn't believe it and just walked away. I found that with most Chiefs and surgeon. There always has to be a medical reason behind it, and if there isn't they won't believe it. They feel that they are always right and much too arrogant to let someone tell them off.

"Are you saying… No, guys I'm sure you misheard him. He probably is just joking you. He probably knows that you guys find him weird and different and he's probably getting revenge or something." Derek told them. Of course Derek would never believe what I said to them. An intern or a resident might believe it, but most definitely not an attending or Chief of surgery for that matter.

"Family meeting." Esme said in a voice that was so low, that no human would ever hear it.

"Okay, we should probably go get the others." I replied in a low voice. She nodded and we both walked to our car. I opened the passenger door for her. She smiled and got in. I closed the door for her and walked around to the driver's side.

"Who says chivalry's dead?" Esme asked smiling.

"I sure don't." I replied. Esme had this twinkle in her eyes that I could get lost in. I apparently did seem to get lost in it when Esme pointed to the road.

"Umm Carlisle, I think you need to start the car then look at the road when you drive… but you know that's just a thought." She joked.

"Yeah, I knew that." I cleared my throat and started to car. My eyes looked straightly at the road. I've loved Esme since she was sixteen when she broke her leg. When she left I never forgot her. When I found her again it was a miracle, but at the same time, in her condition at the time, it was depressing.

"You look very thoughtful…" Esme pointed out. I have loved Esme for over 90 years, we could read each other like an open book… or well I can. According to her, I keep quiet too much and wear the same 'everything is fine' mask.

"Oh it's nothing." I flashed a smile at her and my eyes went back to the road.

"You seem a little tense." She said quietly.

With my right hand I groped around to find her hand. She helped me out and placed her hand in mine. "Trust me Esme, it's nothing. I'm just worried about Meredith, Cristina and George. If they find out, who knows what the Voulturi would do. Bella already knows and if three more people know then, they could kill them."

"Do we have to leave town again?" Esme whispered.

Slowly I nodded. "That would be safest for everyone."

"Well, where are we going now? We need to get out of Washington, and I can't have Edward leave Bella again." Esme said.

"We'll just have to discuss all of this at the family meeting. We'll see what the kids think is best." I told her.

"But Edward will have the most important input and he won't leave Bella alone at the hospital."

"We'll have Jake take over. It will only be for an hour."

"But I don't think that would…" Esme started to say but I cut her off.

"Esme, please!" I interrupted her. I was annoyed by her 'buts' and 'what ifs' that she repeated. Yes, I know that we should probably leave Washington, and yes I know Edward will be depressed about it, but he'll get over it… What am I saying? This whole angry urge went through my body. Never have I ever raise my voice or used an ugly tone with Esme. I looked over at Esme who was looking back at me. Her face was a mixture of shock, disbelief and somewhat a little sad.

"Okay." She said in a voice that was a whisper even for a vampire.

"Esme, I… I'm so sorry. I should have never snapped at you. You were just trying to help out and…" I trailed off. I was ashamed of myself. Most married couples would maybe find these fights pretty normal, but not with Esme and I. We never really got into fights.

"It's fine. I know that you're a little frustrated because I know how much you like the new hospital, and all the people that you met there." That was one thing that I loved about Esme. She was always just so understanding. She squeezed my hand in reassurance as we drove home.

Once we walked through the door I brought my lab coat down into the laundry room and threw it into the machine. Today I had a patient throw up blood all over it, and I was not about to let the kids and Esme have an uncomfortable night over it.

Once I got back upstairs I called for the kids. "Family Meeting!" I yelled.

Alice and Jasper were the first to appear down stairs. "I told Edward 20 minutes ago, so he should be here right about…" The front door opened and closed. "Now." Alice smiled. I love Alice's visions. She knew about the family meeting that I was going to call before I even did.

Edward stomped up the stair into the living room where Esme, Alice, Jasper and I were standing. "This better be quick, I left the dog alone with Bella." Edward grumbled.

"It will be Edward, just have some patience." I thought.

"Fine." He responded.

"Is Rose and Em home?" Esme asked Alice and Jasper.

"Yes they are upstairs I believe." Jasper replied.

"Emmett, Rose come on!" I yelled up to them. They both walked down the stairs and into the living room.

We all sat down on the ring of sofas with the antique coffee table in the middle. Jasper and Alice sat next to each other on one of the sofas, on the next, was Emmett and Rosalie and then was Esme and I, and last was Edward who was sitting alone.

"So I called this family meeting because of Meredith and her friends." I told them.

"Are they still suspicious?" Emmett asked.

"Yes and more than ever." Esme answered. "We really need to keep on the down low. We need to act as normal as possible."

"Well, Emmett here almost blew it." Rose commented in a cold voice.

"What did he say?" I questioned.

"'Oh if Bella dies then Edward can just—'" Rose mocked. "But don't worry I cut him off. Although Meredith still noticed. I could tell that she was very suspicious."

"See, this is what I'm talking about. In school if you do it, the people there aren't that sophisticated that they won't notice. At hospitals, these doctors are smart and most are very observant. You can't just act like you normally would. You need to act like a mortal."

"Also Jasper, you need to control you calming." Edward said. "Meredith noticed."

"I am sorry, but it was necessary." Jasper said defending himself.

"No Jasper, your power is useful but not always necessary. If you do it at home we all thank you for it, if you do it at school, the student won't notice but you just can't do it in hospitals." I told him.

"Well Carlisle, you might be telling people off but at the same time Meredith has noticed most of your suspicious behavior." Edward said to me. I couldn't believe it. No he was wrong, there's no way… is there?

"Like what?" I asked.

"Well, let's see…" He started. "First of all, Meredith somewhat noticed the wave of calmness in the room, but she didn't really think anything of it until you thanked Jasper. And also I mumbled to myself. Sure, you can hear it, but no one else can. You made her suspicious by not even looking at me and you responded from the other side of the room. Also when Bella was seizing you were talking to George in the cafeteria, but you then were in Bella's room like two seconds after you were paged. I respect that you really care for Bella, but it was a mild seizure and Alice already saw it coming and Alice knew that she would be okay."

I couldn't believe myself. His word stung and his face was hard. "I-I didn't know. I'll be more careful with how I act."

"But the skin sparkling is something that we're all to blame for. She saw me sparkle first, then Carlisle then Emmett, Jasper and I." Edward explained. "So to prevent this from happening again stay away from the sun at all cost. And seriously watch the weather."

"Thank you for that Edward. Now tonight we told Meredith and Cristina what we were told to tell them." Esme told them. The night before Alice saw us going over and we all agreed to just tell them that we're harmless and try to buy us more time in Seattle.

"And…" Rosalie asked.

"They won't let anything go." Esme answered." Which means…"

"Which means we're moving." Emmett answered looking straight at the coffee table. Rosalie crossed her arms and leaned back on the couch.

"No, I am not leaving Bella." Edward answered. There is not a chance that I'm going to leave her again."

"If you love her, then let her have her senior year, and once she graduates have her go to college with you. We need to leave." I told him sternly.

"Worst case scenario they find out." Emmett said.

"Yeah, Emmett, then the Voulturi kills all of us." Rose sneered.

"No just hear me out. The Voulturi doesn't need to find out. Carlisle could just distract the Voulturi and we would all be good." Emmett said.

"Emmett that must be the stu—" Rose was cut off by Jasper.

"Best idea ever." Jasper said. Emmett sat up in his chair. Rarely would anyone say that to him. "The plan would have to be modified but it is okay. We just don't tell them that we're vampires. Tell them that we're like wizards or something. Carlisle could just smooth it over with the Voulturi before anything happens." Jasper explained to all of us. Jasper had a great point. We could just tell them that we're immortal or something.

"Hey, that wasn't my idea!" Emmett complained.

"But Emmett you were the foundation for the idea!" Jasper explained to Emmett.

"Is that like… good?" Emmett asked.

"Yes, that is very good." Jasper told him. Emmett smile grew ten times larger than before. "Anyways," Jasper continued. "If we tell them that we're like wizards than well maybe we can throw them off."

I had to think about this idea. I know that Jasper is a very smart guy, but this idea sounds crazy.

"No, we need to stand our guard with the Voulturi. I am sick of having to worry about those stupid people. We tell the freaking humans about us and just be done with it. Besides, I think Aro has a creepy crush on me, and it's really starting to freak me out." Alice said.

"I umm, don't think it's on you…" Jasper said softly.

"What do you mean?" Alice asked. "Are you saying I'm ugly Jasper Whitlock?"

"No, I'm just saying I don't think he likes your kind of people…" Jasper tried to explain.

"And now what do you mean by that?" Alice snorted.

"I think he likes…" Jasper looked over to Edward and them me.

"Are you serious?" Alice asked.

"No he does not… does he?" I asked.

"Yeah, even I knew that!" Emmett said.

"Wow now that would just explain so many things…" I said.

"People can we focus here and not talk about who Aro like's and doesn't like. We are in a freaking crisis here." Rosalie nearly yelled.

"Aww, Rose it is okay. I'm sorry that Aro doesn't have a crush on you." Emmett tried to soothe. All it got him was a glare that looked like daggers from Rosalie.

"She's got a point here. We really need to focus on this issue." Edward agreed with Rose.

"Aww, little Edward is a little embarrassed." Emmett said.

"Emmett, I will kill you." Edward glared at Emmett.

"But seriously, we really should think of a plan…" Esme chimed in. Emmett was about to open his mouth, but Esme cut him off. "Don't saying anything Emmett."

"You know what, let's just act normal and see if Meredith and her friends just stop noticing the signs. Sooner or later they'll just realize that maybe we're harmless and some things are better left on said." I added in. It was true, once they noticed that we weren't going to do anything, they would realize that maybe they should just drop it.

"No Carlisle that's a stupid plan." Rose said.

"Rosalie, it is a fine plan." Esme defended me.

"Esme you don't have to defend him just because you're his wife." Rose sneered.

"Well I think it is okay." Edward told me.

"All in favor of my plan please raise your hands." I instructed.

Jasper, Edward, Alice, Emmett and Esme all raised their hands.

"Okay, all opposed?"

Rose raised her hand glaring at me.

"I'm sorry, but do you have a better one?" I asked.

"I say we move to freaking Uruguay and just forget about Seattle!" Rose told all of us.

"It's too sunny in Uruguay I think…" Emmett said.

"Ugh you guys are impossible!" Rosalie shrieked standing up. "Carlisle I need your credit card, I need to go shopping!"

I handed her my credit card, not wanting too argue with her. Besides it would probably be a little bit better if I got her out of the house for a little bit.

"Ugh I'm mad too!" Alice said standing up. "Can I please have your American Express?" Alice asked in a voice you just couldn't say no too.

I nodded and handed her another one of my credit cards. We all knew Alice wasn't exactly angry; she just wanted to go shopping.

"I think the mall is probably closed by now… it's like 9:30." Jasper pointed out.

"Not in Anchorage, we can make it there by 9:45 or 8:45 there time if we run." Alice suggested.

"Well, what are we waiting for?" Rose and Alice both ran out the front door and started to run to Alaska.

"So, who wanted to play Pictionary?" Emmett asked. "I call Edward on my team!"

"No, I am going to save Bella before that dog bites her head off." Edward said walking away.

"So, you guys wanna play?" Emmett asked again.

We all had nothing better to do so we agreed. I think this night got about ten times better….
