Chapter 8.

Howdy y'all, ha ha I'm a cowgirl lol. Anyhoo, this is chapter 8 at long last, I've been sorting out my plans… Anyhoo this is a look into Carlisle and Esme's POV as they seem very OOC in this fic as you have mentioned, so here you are….

Esme's POV.

I slumped in my seat at work, I sighed loudly, I was alone so nobody noticed, alone in my own thoughts, I thought about how I had acted towards that McCarty family, to my daughters. I have to admit it, I'm not acting like myself, Carlisle isn't either. We are just too protective of them. We have to make up excuses on why they shouldn't get involved with them; they're too young to have relationships, in our eyes anyway.

The way they had smiled at them this morning was heart-warming, they truly cared about the girls, I could see that, I'm not blind. It's just; I don't want them to make the same mistakes I have when I was young.

A little voice in the back of my head said, "Let them make their own mistakes, they have to have a life." The voice was right, I was stopping them, and they needed to live normally, not with a crazy overprotective Mom and Dad! I would need to speak with Carlisle.

When I got home the girls where upstairs, I wouldn't speak with them yet, not until I spoke with Carlisle, we needed to agree.

"Girls!" I called.

They all came down, still in uniform,

"Yes?" Bella asked.

"How about I make some tea and we have some girly time in the living room?" I asked, going back to my old self, I would make my girls happy.

"Sure." They said and went into the living room.

"I'll make some sandwiches." Alice said.

Soon we were all sat down, having our afternoon snack.

"So how where your days?" I asked.

"It was okay, I didn't fall in gym at least." Bella smiled.

"Good." I smiled at my cute clumsy daughter.

"I had math, which was boring. Plus my jumper is all creased, fashion disaster!" Alice said, raising her eyebrows.

I laughed, "Don't worry honey, we'll iron it later."

"I didn't do anything really." Rosalie mumbled.

"That's a shame, maybe tomorrow will be better." I smiled.

"Maybe."

"Are we still in trouble?" Bella asked.

"Um…no why?" I asked.

"Oh, I was wondering if I could go out with Jessica and Angela at the weekend." She shrugged.

"Of course you can sweetie." I smiled. "What about you girls? Any plans coming up?" I asked.

"Not yet." They both said.

As soon as Carlisle came home I dragged him up to our room.

Carlisle's POV.

I was thinking about what I'd said this morning to the girls all day, I regretted what I'd said, it was harsh, I didn't mean it. Any of it, I just want them safe, they're my little girls.

They aren't ready for relationships yet but they are teenagers, I was Bella's age when I had my first girlfriend. I needed to speak with Esme.

As soon as I got home Esme dragged me to our room,

"What's going on?" I asked.

"I want to let the girls of the hook; they can date them boys if they wish." She rushed.

"Really?"

"Yes." She nodded. "We are holding them back Carlisle, Rosalie's 17! I've never known a 17 year old to not have ever had a boyfriend! Seriously love we need to hold back."

"You just stole the words right out of my mouth." I smiled and kissed her.

"Let's go." She smiled; a shine in her brown eyes.

"Let's." I smiled back.

Emmett's POV.

I tried all day to get her attention, no luck. What had I done? Was it the kiss? She seemed to like it. She had been fine until this morning….

I hoped she would be back to normal soon, I hope they all would.

Rosalie's POV.

Mom took Daddy upstairs as soon as he got home, so we didn't see him. I heard them talking upstairs. We stayed silent, straining our ears to listen. Nothing. I slumped back into the couch.

After 5 minutes they came back down, Alice joined Bella and me on the couch. Mom and Daddy came into the living room smiling like they had won 1 million dollars each. That's how they looked when they said Mom was pregnant with Bella, not another baby, no more drama please!

"Girls we need to talk to you." Daddy said as they sat down on the other couch.

"What about?" Alice asked.

"Our discussion this morning." He said, Oh no.

"What about it?" I tried to sound calm.

"I thought we were off the hook." Bella said.

"You are, me and your Father have just been talking and we both are deeply sorry about all the things that we said." Mom said.

"Yes, we were in the wrong girls, you are young ladies now, not babies, you should be treated like you are." Daddy nodded.

"I'm confuddled." I admitted.

"That makes 2 of us." Alice said.

"3." Bella added.

"Well, we both agreed we were unfair, out of order and that you should make your own mistakes and should lead a life of your own." Mom said.

"So you can see whoever you want, as long as they do not put you in any danger." Daddy said.

"So I can see Emmy?" I smiled.

"Yes sweetie." Mom smiled widely.

I ran over and hugged them, Alice and Bella joined.

After the hug we sat down,

"So how about you bring Emmett over?" Mom said

"I'm not sure if he will." I hung my head.

"Why?" Mom and Daddy asked.

"Well, I ignored him all day and avoided him and I think it really hurt his feelings." I said to the floor.

"Oh, well sorry love. Why don't you try tomorrow, see how he is?" Mom said.

"You really mean it?"

"Of course I do honey." She hugged me.

"Hopefully they'll forgive us." Alice said.

"I'm sure they will girls, I'm sure they will." Daddy said.

We had dinner at 7pm, later than usual then did our homework. We went to bed early that night,

I really hoped he'll forgive me.
