CPOV
Edward, why do Bella and Jasper smell like alcohol? I knew I didn't need to ask, this was an almost replay of the last time Esme and I had left for more than a couple of hours. Bella started walking towards me, wobbling until she finally lost balance and hit the floor. There she lay, out cold. "Esme, please take Bella upstairs and lay her on the bed. Then bring her some water and an ice pack. I have a feeling she'll need it." She nodded and being the good wife and mother she was, proceeded to take care of Bella. "I want answers and I want them now," I growled. Esme flitted back into the room and grabbed both Jasper and Bella.
"Well… see, um… It was all Alice's fault!" Emmett went and stood behind Rosalie, cowarding in fear.
"My fault? My fault?! This is not in the least bit my fault! You and Edward are completely and utterly responsible! Don't tell me it's my fault!" Alice and Emmett started arguing. Not feeling like waiting out the fight or breaking it up, I turned to my son. I sighed. Edward. Who had the idea?
He looked down and softly replied, "Alice." She glared at him and stamped on his foot.
"Way to keep a secret, bro. Carlisle, I can assure you, it was—" She saw my glare. "My fault. I was bored. But the boys were watching James Bond and it's just that that movie is so predictable. And tiresome. I wanted something to do and since no one wanted to play dress up, I said the first thing I could think of. So I still don't think this is completely my fault. I mean, they were the ones watching the movie!"
"Alice! You could have left and done something else," Edward cried, exasperated. "What's our punishment, Carlisle? We'll take anything without complaining."
"I don't know about you but I might complain." I glared at her again. "What? Just telling the truth…" She snickered.
"Alice, enough. It's been a long day at work. I don't want any complaining, arguing, anything. Got it? I want you all to sit in the corner and not move a mussel. Then we will wait for Jasper and Bella to get it under control. Until then, sit and BEHAVE." With that, I turned and trudged up the stairs to check on Esme, Bella, and Jasper.

I was spazzing but from what I had no idea. Then I saw Bella lying on the bed, Esme attending to her. "What's wrong, Esme?"
Carlisle stepped into the room. "You and Bella were drunk. Do you know anything about this?" Knowing I had a promise to keep, I shook my head. He eyed me suspiciously.
"Are you sure?" I nodded my head. I turned over to look at Bella, feeling bad for what we had done to her. She was twitching and talking about dancing with big foot. I sighed.
BPOV
I felt something wet on my forehead and opened my eyes. My head was throbbing and I was lying down on a bed. "Esme? What happened? Why am I lying on a bed and why does my head hurt?" Memories of the last couple of hours seeped through my head. I wondered if Carlisle and Esme had found out and figured they most likely had.
"You passed out dear."
"Are we in trouble?" I sounded like a little kid, it was almost funny.
Carlisle gave me a heart-warming smile. "Well, Bella, as soon as you get up, we can go downstairs. But maybe I should check you first…" He was gone and back again before I could even open my mouth to protest. "Mmhmm… Yes… Mmhmm… Right… Yes… Alright, Bella! Everything's fine! But here, drink some water, please." I took the glass he offered me and slowly sat up to drink it. When I finished, we all headed downstairs. Edward, Alice, Emmett, and Rosalie were all sitting in the corner, sitting perfectly still, just like statues. I almost laughed but Alice turned to glare at me. "Children, come sit on the couch, you have a momentary break from your current punishment." They obediently came and sat on the couch. "Now, I want the whole truth. From the beginning. Edward, you may go first, seeing as Alice feels the need to act silly and leave things out. What did you all do when we were gone?"
Edward took a deep breath. "Alright. We were all watching James Bond when Alice got bored and tried to get everyone to play dress up. None of the boys wanted to so she turned to the girls. Rose got up immediately but Bella stayed seated on my lap. When she didn't get up, Alice began to poke her, annoying her. Finally, she stopped but then she started jumping up and down at a fast pace. Then she suggested we play Truth or Die. Bella didn't know what that was so we explained it to her. Then we went up to the attic and Alice started the game. Rose had to kiss the vile Mike Newton, and then I had to flirt than kiss every girl in the mall that I saw. Emmett cheated and blew the bottle away from himself Bella had to tell me what she was thinking but that didn't count so I had to take off my shirt. Then, Emmett and I had to make out because Jasper cheated and made me poke Bella so that he could get out of the dare. Then Alice saw the both of you heading home and she decided he had to quit. Then she saw that Bella would have been picked again and she would have chosen dare and she said we had to go to the bar and that's why Bella was passed out. So we went to the bar and Bella was complaining the whole way. I tried to stop Alice but she threatened me. Bella was still reluctant when we got into the bar and said it wasn't safe to get drunk but Alice forced half a bottle champagne down her throat. Then she forced the rest down. She brought her another bottle and then Bella was drunk and drank so vodka than took a bottle of Bailey's and drank that. Her emotions were affecting jasper, big foot, so they went to dance. Then Bella ordered every drink. Then she went loco in the car. And then you know the rest." By the time Edward had finished, I was blushing and looking down. Carlisle's and Esme's mouths were open in shock. Alice had a look of betrayal on her face. Jasper had a look of concern on his face. Emmett was his giddy self and Rosalie was still sulking.
"That is why my daughter and son had to be taken care of? I can not believe you! Especially you, Alice! But what I am more shocked about is that you all disobeyed us. We deliberately told you to never play that game again, considering how bad it went last time! Now, for punishment. I still can not get over the fact that you got Bella and jasper drunk for crying out loud! Bella was right when she said it was dangerous! Now, there will always be one of us here at the house. Alice, you are not aloud to wear any outfit without my approval. Also, no leaving your new room."
"New room? Where? Can I go move my stuff in there?!"
"Let me finish," Carlisle said in a strained voice. "Your new room will have nothing in it. No chairs, no beauty products, do clothes, no furniture, no nothing. Jasper, your punishment will not be as severe but there will be one. No seeing Alice for the duration of the punishment. Also, no war items. Next, Emmett. No electronics, no Rosalie. Rosalie, no Alice, no Emmett, and you will also have a new room that will be baren. Understood? Oh, and Alice, no jasper or Rosalie. And no cars for anyone." Carlisle just about left. "Oh, wait, I almost forgot Edward. No Bella, no cars, no piano, no music. And this is all for the rest of the month." Then he turned to me. "So sorry Bella. I think it might be best if you stay away from my children for now. None of this was your fault and you shouldn't be punished. You may come and visit my children for one thirty minutes each after school. So sorry." I just nodded. I felt sad to know I wouldn't see Edward as much but not seeing the others was perfectly fine with me.
"Alright, Carlisle. Fair enough. But does punishment have to start for Edward right now?"
He gave a chuckle. "I am afraid so. But I need you to come to my office so please do not leave yet." And with that, he turned for the stairs and was gone instantly.
"Bella, dear, I am so sorry for making you suffer like this! You'd think children might be more behaved after so many years. But of course not. Eternity has not helped them much, and it is quite embarrassing to go out in public with them acting wild and out of control. So sorry again, dear." I gave my future mother a hug and then headed upstairs to Carlisle's study.
Trouble… Okay, one more chapter before the end of the night and I think that will be in Carlisle's study. I need to know though. Should I skip the punishments or go through them with each character? Plz R&R!
