The date for Rosalie's surgery coincided with Edwards release from hospital and his entrance into the family home. All members of the family began to readily spend time with Edward throughout his stay in hospital and they had learnt his small quirks.

The children became more and more excited as the day drew nearer. Esme had a new lease of life and was happily engrossing herself in adding the final finishing touches to his bedroom and toys.

________________________________________________________________

Eventually after weeks of waiting, the day arrived. Carlisle was woken up by a very excitable Alice. Sighing softly to himself,being careful not to wake up Esme and the others, Carlisle took her downstairs, shushing her loud squeals of excitement.

"Dada, Eddie comes today" She gushed bouncing in her high chair as Carlisle gave her some milk and toast.

"Yes honey he does. Are you excited?" At this Alice bounced like a kangaroo in her high chair grinning her infamous Alice smiles causing Carlisle to chuckle to himself as he drank his coffee.

Looking at his watch, he heard movement upstairs as the shower went on and was soon followed by a pristine looking Esme walking into the kitchen, smiling as she took in the sight before her.

"Morning baby girl, morning sweetheart" she greeted them with a soft kiss before turning to the coffee machine and pouring herself a cup, watching Alice messily devour her breakfast. "Someone's going to need another bath at this rate" She mused chuckling easily.

Carlisle looked up from his paper and noticed his little baby covered in strawberry jam on her fingers, on her nose and around her mouth. "I think you may be right. In which case I am going to shower before she gets there!"

"No bwath mummy. I make myself clean" Alice stuck her bottom lip out in protest before advancing onto licking the strawberry jam off of her causing Esme and Carlisle to crack up laughing.

Heading upstairs, Carlisle got showered and ready for the day ahead before going into Rosalie's bedroom to wake her up.

"Rosie angel time to wake up" Carlisle spoke gently kissing her forehead. Rosalie promptly buried her head under the pillows and refused to acknowledge him.

"come on angel, the sooner your up, the sooner it's all over and you'll be back home choosing how to make your daddy become poor after buying you presents." Carlisle encouraged bringing a soft fit of giggles from her.

A small smile crept onto Carlisle's face as he waited for Rosalie to collect all her belongings. Soon he heard the soft pitter patter of her footfalls on the steps before she emerged and enveloped Esme into a tight hug.

"I'll see you soon ok baby girl. Just think of the presents you will get hmm?" Esme spoke softly smoothing her hair out of her forehead looking deeply into her eyes.

"Uh-huh" Rosalie was still incredibly nervous and Carlisle could see the panic building in her eyes.

"Come on if we leave now, we can stop by Edward's room." Rosalie's face lit up at that prospect and all but forced Carlisle out of the door collecting her belongings en route before they drove off bound for the hospital.

After booking Rosalie into her room, Carlisle persuaded the nurses to let her see her new brother. As they neared Edward's room, Carlisle could hear the disgruntled cries coming from Edward immediately.

Whispering softly into his daughter's ear Carlisle commented "Sounds like someone fell out of the wrong side of bed this morning!" He watched as Rosalie broke into a round of giggles that were still present when she entered Edward's room.

They entered to find a nurse trying to change his nappy (diaper), but was being met with a force of resistance as a blushing and flustered squirmed and pushed away all of her attempts.

Crossing the room in an instant, Carlisle took over from the nurse and changed him whilst Rosalie distracted him by rubbing small circles on his forehead leaving the nurse slightly gob smacked.

"Dr Cullen, your son is a little monster!" The nurse flustered before rapidly making her exit after meeting a cold look from Edward. Carlisle and Rosalie burst into a fit of giggles as she left.

"Is that right Edward, are you a monster? Hmm? What do you think Rose?" Carlisle questioned his youngest as he placed his new son in his arms and wrapped a arm round his eldest daughter's shoulders.

"I say he is very loud daddy" Rosalie continued to giggle at Edward's face. Carlisle smiled and pulled them both closer, glad of the calming effect the pair had on each other.

"Daddy will …you car…ry me?" Rosalie's frightened voice full of sobs nearly broke Carlisle's heart as he picked his her up into his secure hold and carried her towards theatre.

"Of course angel" Carlisle kissed her forehead as he took her into the anaesthesia room and tried to place her on the bed. "Come on honey, the sooner it's done the sooner it's over with!" Carlisle comforted his youngest as he tried to release her from his shirt.

Rosalie just sobbed harder and held onto him in a firmer grasp. Eventually after repeated attempts of trying, Carlisle gave up and held her in his arms as the doctor's gently gave her the relevant drugs to send her to sleep. After a small cry of pain and surprise, Rosalie quickly fell asleep and Carlisle placed her on the bed before kissing her and leaving returning to Edward's room after phoning Esme - who was stuck at home Alice sitting - to tell her the first and worst part had gone fine.

After spending around 30 minutes watching Edward sleep, Carlisle heard the beginnings of cries escaping his lips. Realising he must be hungry, Carlisle prepared his bottle and took him in his arms as he woke up fully, stretching his little arms and gazed into Carlisle's face happy to have a bottle in his mouth.

________________________________________________________________

The Doctor's quickly made their rounds and after checking Edward out, they discharged him into Carlisle's care, allowing him to place him in his pram and to head round to Rosalie's room, who was just beginning to wake up.

Taking her hand in his, Carlisle gently kissed her forehead as she stirred. "Hey baby how do you feel?"

A small whimper escaped Rosalie's lips as she remembered where she was. "o…k. Hungry actually" A small blush tanned Rosalie's cheeks, causing Carlisle to laugh.

"What would you like then?"

"Ice cream" Her response was immediate, a small forming across her lips.

"Well how about you get a bit more sleep then you can have some okay angel?"

Yawning softly in agreement at his statement, Rosalie fell into a much more peaceful slumber and slept off the drugs.

After proving to the doctor's that she could eat and go to the toilet just fine, Rosalie was finally released allowing Carlisle to take his children home. Strapping Edward and Rosalie into their respective car seats, Carlisle set course for home where his new life was about to start full swing.
