Author's Note: I had a lot of requests to continue this story, and someone suggested Edward's POV of the spanking, so that is what this is.


Author's Note 2: And while I have this chapter going up, I would like to say something to one of my readers. To the anonymous reviewer who signed the review as Carly, I am sorry if I wasn't clear before. I don't mind what you had put in your review. I don't consider that to be a flame, and I am fine with what you put. I took no offense whatsoever. The thing I was trying to keep people from doing was reviewing with things like my story was horrible simply because it had a spanking in it.


Chapter Two

(Edward's POV)

"Excuse me, Edward. Please feel free to go sit down in the lounge" Carlisle said, motioning into the closest room. He quietly went upstairs. A minute later, I heard a door close, in an attempt to give the two of them privacy. Although the house was not sound proof, and with my new immortal body, my hearing had been magnified, and I could hear every word.

My mother always said that you could tell a lot by a family by seeing the inside of their house. From a look in the parlor, I could see that Carlisle and Martha were very well off, due to the elegance of the furniture, but the furniture was somehow able to keep a modest look to it while maintaining it's elegance. This showed my new family was not flashy with their money. My mother would be very impressed.

Thinking about my mother, I remembered she was now dead, and I wasn't. I never would be dead. Thanks to her, according to Carlisle. My mother had taken her last dying breaths to beg Carlisle to save me in the ways no one else could. Had she known he was a vampire? If so, how did she know? I had asked Carlisle as much, and he had been just as baffled as I was.

Martha's voice had been loud from the beginning, but it was something Carlisle said that got my attention. Not by his tone or volume, but by his words.

"He was dying, and I had a chance to save him. The same thing as I did with you over a century ago."

"Sometimes people need to die, Carlisle! You can not save everyone!" Martha was yelling.

I was slightly taken aback. Did she feel like she deserved to live and I didn't? Surely she couldn't dislike me. I had never met her before.

"However, I could save Edward" Carlisle said calmly, "Now explain to me why you were so rude to Edward downstairs. There was no need for your behavior."

"Our family was fine the way it was, without you bringing someone else into this life. It has been the two of us for over a hundred years, and we have not had any problems."

I recognized the tone in Martha's voice at once. She wasn't mad because she felt she deserved to avoid death and I didn't, but because she didn't want to have to share her family. I couldn't blame her. The two of them had been together for over a century, and now this new person was just walking right in and changing the life she was so comfortable with. The life that had had no problems, and wasn't in need of any change.

"So that was it" Carlisle's voice sounded reflective for a moment, and then returned to the normal calm tone "Martha, you are jealous of Edward?"

"Not jealous, no!" Martha snapped

"Are you sure?" Carlisle asked, "Because it sounds to me that you are acting this way because I am changing something and you will have to share me now."

There was a short pause.

"Martha, my love does not diminish just because there is another member of our family."

"He is not part of our family!"

I will admit, that hurt. I had not been awake for more than a few hours, but Carlisle had been very friendly to me, and was very open. He had made life with him sound nice. It was clear Martha was not going to be as welcoming. Would Carlisle turn me away because his first child said she didn't want a brother?

"Carlisle! What are you doing?!" Martha's voice suddenly was high-pitched with panic.

"I am giving you a spanking" Carlisle said calmly. I was starting to wonder if Carlisle ever shouted. So far, even while Martha was screaming at him, he had responded in the same calm manner.

Carlisle's statement was soon followed with a loud SWAT!

"Ow!" Martha yelled out.

The first swat was followed by many more, and each one was accompanied by a yelp from Martha. Soon the yelps turned into sobs.

"C-Carilllllle!" Martha whined.

"Hush" Carlisle said firmly as he continued to spank Martha's backside.

As I listened, I was reminded of the few times I had found myself over my father's knee. Usually I was very well behaved, and if I did misbehave, it took one trip over my father's knee to keep me from repeating my mistake. It wasn't that my father was harsh with his spankings, it was just that I could always tell it hurt him to have to punish me. I hated making him hurt, so I did my best to avoid anything that would cause me to have a sore bottom and him heartache.

"I am sorry! I will apologize to Edward!" Martha said.

"Yes, you will" Carlisle said, "You will also welcome him in as a member of this family and begin treating him as a brother."

"I will! I promise!" Martha sounded desperate to get out of trouble with Carlisle and I reflected a little on that. Sure she would have the stone-hard skin I had, but so did Carlisle, which would mean her bottom was being swatted by his stone-hard hand.

Carlisle continued to spank Martha. Then her yelling and begging ceased, and I could hear her sobbing in defeat.

When the sobbing started, the swats stopped.

"I am sorry" Martha said, "You welcomed me in to your home and showed me how to live this life as easily as possible, and I should extend the same courtesy to Edward."

"Then I suggest you go downstairs and extend that courtesy." Carlisle said.

I quickly turned around and acted as if I had not been listening, although I was sure Martha would know after a century that vampire hearing was very sensitive.

"Edward?"

I turned and looked at Martha, "Hello"

"Hello. I am Martha" she walked over and held out a hand. I took it and shook it. "I am sorry about my rude behavior towards you."

"It is fine." I said.

Martha smiled back, "No, it is not fine, but thank you for your forgiveness."

Martha turned around as Carlisle's entered the room.

"Now, let us try this again" Carlisle said, and went to stand next to me. "Martha, I would like you to meet Edward. He will be your new brother."

Martha smiled, and gave me a small hug, which I returned. "Welcome, Edward."

Her words were full of sincerity. She wasn't welcoming me because she was afraid of another punishment if she didn't. She really wanted me to feel welcomed. And now I did.


So I hope you all liked this chapter. I am not sure I will continue this story past this point, but I might either write another story with Martha or maybe make a mini series of different one-shots or two-shots with Martha since everyone who reviewed seemed to like her.
