It's been a couple of weeks now and there was nothing that could separate Esme and Carlisle. They spent almost every weekend together and during the week they were always texting or calling each other like teenagers. They spent many nights cuddled up together on the beach or even enjoying a movie over at Esme house. So far...everything seem to be going well and seem to feel right being with each other.

Carlisle POV

Carlisle was sitting in his study trying to focus on some work, but found that it was no use because the picture of Esme and him on his desk seem to be distracting him.

I already miss her

Esme was at a workshop today for the teachers and she wouldn't be done until four O'clock that evening. That left Carlisle alone to busy himself until he could talk to his love.

A knock appeared on his door and he saw Edward in the door frame.

"Come in son." Carlisle signal, relieved to have someone to talk to you.

"Sorry to disturb you." Edward told him. "I just needed to talk to you about something."

"Oh?"

Carlisle could tell his son seem a little nervous about something which worried Carlisle automatically. Edward was his first son to welcome into his family that at the time consist of only him. They had been through a lot together, however Carlisle felt like he really bonded with Edward the last few years thanks to Bella for coming in and opening Edwards world a little more.

Edward took let a breath out. "Does Esme know about us? Like what we are?"

Carlisle was a little puzzled until he really thought about it.

Oh...

"No." He answered. "I haven't told her yet."

In truth, Carlisle didn't want to tell Esme that he was a vampire. He knew she would think he was a crazy man and he was afraid of her leaving him.

But he knew that his adopted son brought up a good point...

"You know soon...we'll have to leave again." Edward uneasily said.

"Yeah." Carlisle look down. "I know.."

They usually always leave two or three years after the children graduate, that way no one grows suspicious on why the Cullen kids haven't changed or why Carlisle doesn't look the slightest older than he was before. They were always careful not to let anyone discover their secret.

"Maybe I'll invite her over and later tell her." Carlisle said. "She needs to meet all of you anyways."

Edward nodded and then after a few minutes of silence, he left Carlisle to his thoughts.

Man, I wish I didn't have do this

Esme POV

She yawn as she left the workshop she was just attending, Esme doesn't think she ever attended something so boring before and she was happy when it was over with. She check her phone and notice Carlisle had text her to see if she wanted to come over for dinner.

I've never been over to his house before...

Esme text him back that she would love to come over for dinner. Even though she already meant some of his kids, Carlisle never fully introduce her to the rest of his kids. She went home to change into something nice, but casual and waited for Carlisle to come pick her up.

Just then the door bell rang...

She open the door and was pleased to see the love of her life standing at the door for her.

"I miss you." He said, already kissing her lips.

She giggled. "I wasn't gone that long."

"It felt like forever."

They kiss for a few minutes before he walk her to his car. He help her in and he started to drive to his house. Esme held his hand and rub over his knuckles.

Still so beautiful...

When they arrived, Alice was already waiting outside to give Esme a big hug. Esme hug her tightly and let Alice drag her to where the others were.

"Well, you already know Rosalie, Alice, and Edward." Carlisle pointed to each kid. "But this is Bella, Jasper, and Emmett."

"Nice to meet you!" Emmett gave her a big bear hug.

Esme chuckled. "Oh, I know Emmett that's for sure."

Emmett smiled shyly and Carlisle called the kids to dinner. Esme couldn't believe how beautiful his house was as she look around. Everything was so dazzling and decorated perfectly.

"So Esme." Emmett said. "How do you feel about sports."

Rosalie rolled her eyes and mumble. "Oh god..."

Esme smiled. "Football my favorite, but I also like a little baseball as well."

Emmett clap his hands together. "She perfect dad!"

Carlisle chuckled and held Esme hand tightly. She couldn't help but to beam as she ate the fish and pasta that was served.

"This is really good." She compliment. "The fish is cook just right."

"Rosalie made it." Bella spoke. "She a good cook."

Rose just look down and played with her pasta, not taking much notice to Esme. Esme notice how stand off ish Rose has been in class and hope it had nothing to do with her, even though Esme understood how uncomfortable it would be to have your dad dating your teacher. Esme wouldn't blame Rosalie if she was upset.

"Come on Rose." Emmett said. "Lighten up."

Rosalie just glared at him and they finish their meals.

Afterwards, all of the kids gave Esme a hug before leaving to go have some fun at the mall. Carlisle gave them each thirty bucks in which Esme admired him for being such a precious father.

"See you later Esme!" Alice waved.

Esme waved back. Once all the kids left, Carlisle pulled her into his arms and started to spin her around as she giggled.

"You look lovely like always." He kiss her lips.

She couldn't even answer back because she was lost in his kisses. They kiss for what seem like forever until Carlisle back away a little.

"I wanna show you something." He told her.

She grin. "What's that?"

"It's a surprise."

With that, he took her hand and walk her outside.

Rosalie POV

Rose felt uneasy as she sat in the back seat with Emmett while they were on their way to the mall. They choose to hitch a ride with Alice and Jasper, so Edward and Bella could drive together alone.

"Hey, that fish did look pretty good." Emmett kiss her head. "Would of been better if I wasn't a blood sucking vampire that feeds on blood."

Rosalie felt her self smile a little bit. Emmett could always make her feel somewhat better.

"Yeah." Alice join in. "Esme loved it."

Esme...

Rose still had mix feelings about Miss Platt being together with her father. She didn't really care about the fact that her father was dating her teacher, I mean it was weird, but she cared more that her father was dating someone in general and Rosalie didn't want her family to change once more. She was a daddy girl in truth and selfishly did not want to share her dad with someone else.

"I like Esme." Jasper said while driving.

"Me too." Emmett agreed.

Emmett!

Alice smiled. "I think she'll be a perfect fit to the family."

As long as I don't have to call her mom...

Rosalie sighed and sat all the way back in her seat. Carlisle would be exposing Esme to their family secret right about now and Rose hopes she'll either run and not say anything or just run in general.

Carlisle POV

He lead Esme into the forest, feeling nervous as he did so. He knew he had to tell her the truth, but he was so afraid of what she might think.

Please don't run

He took her to his favorite spot, the edge of a cliff where you can see all of the forest down below and with sun going down it made everything perfect.

"Okay, open your eyes." Carlisle told Esme.

She open her eyes and he could see the awe in her face. She hug him tightly and they sat down to watch the sun go down together. She snuggle close to him and Carlisle knew he would have to tell her everything while she was still happy.

"Esme..." He didn't know how to begin. "There's something I haven't told you."

"What's that?"

He exhaled. "I haven't been honest with you about who I really am."

Esme sat up, he got her attention now, and face him.

"What do you mean?" She ask.

Here goes nothing...

"I'm not who you think I am."

He could see the confusion on her face. He needed to just speed it up and straight out tell her before she starts questioning him.

"I'm a vampire." He spat out.

Instead of running and screaming away, to his surprise she laughed. She laugh pretty hard.

"A vampire!" She giggled. "Carlisle you make me laugh."

"No." He shook his head. "I'm not joking Esme."

He tried showing her that he was dead serious, but she was still very confused. So Carlisle stood up and began to prove it to her.

He took his shirt off, which Esme blush immediately, and waited for the sun to hit him. A little light came shining towards him and his whole body started sparkling.

Esme was lost for words...

"I'm not kidding." Carlisle said. "I'm not like you."

He then proceeded to show her his speed and his ability to climb trees like no other human can. He could tell Esme was puzzled by the way her face was and he tried explaining things to her the best way he could.

"I was hunting for vampires in the 15th century with my father and some guys." He told her. "My father was a priest. And one of the vampires had bit me before running off. After that I spent many years alone trying to deal with my new life which was extremely hard. I found medicine and decided that I wouldn't be a blood sucking evil man, I would instead help people which led me to Edward. He was dying of the Spanish Influenza and I promise his mother I would save him on his death bed..."

Esme covered her mouth, Carlisle hurried to explain things quickly before she responded.

"So I turn him. A few years later I was walking down the streets of Chicago when I ran into Rosalie, she had been rape and left for death where I turn her also. Then she found Emmett after he was attack by a bear so I also turn him. Alice and Jasper showed up to our doors one day already a vampire, Alice had a vision that she belong with our family. Then a few years ago, Edward turn Bella on her command to do so, so they could be together forever..."

"That explains the eyes." Esme was processing everything. "The skin..."

"I wanted to tell you before, I just didn't know how too." Carlisle said.

Esme look upset. "Why didn't you tell me all of this earlier?"

He look down. "I'm so sorry."

They just stood there for a few minutes, Carlisle feeling like a jack ass for not telling her sooner and for hurting her like he did.

Why am I so dumb?

He thought everything was over...until Esme hug him tightly.

Esme POV

She couldn't believe it! A vampire! She had been dating a vampire these last few weeks!

What the hell did I get myself into!

It took her a few minutes before she piece the puzzle. Everything had made since now on why the kids look somewhat similar and why all of them were so young looking even Carlisle. But vampires!

I don't know...

She took a deep breath. He was still the same Carlisle she had fall in love with, vampire or human.

Esme look up at Carlisle and quickly felt bad for not responding quicker. Her angel had his head down, looking ashamed of himself when in reality it wasn't his fault for what he was. He didn't choose this life, this life choose him.

She hug him tightly and gently kiss his neck a little to show that she still loved him. She could feel his arms slowly wrap around her and they spent embrace in each others arms for a while.

"Your not mad?" He ask.

She sighed a bit. "No, just a little surprised."

"Your not going to leave are you?"

"Never my love." She look him in the eyes.

And with that, they shared a kiss to seal their love for each even though the differences they share now.
