2 updates in 1 day? Wooo! My dear readers, I am going to try and update this story at least once a day, maybe twice for the next week and a bit as I am currently on school holidays and I'm a bad student and don't study, so all I do is sleep and write! (Sometimes I play sims. I'm contemplating making a town of twilight characters...). I am really enjoying writing this, so there might even be a sequel L:. Let me know what you think, and as always, thank you for reading. And thank you for the review, you da bomb. :)

Enjoy,

-A xx

Esme

I was making pancakes for the girls and the wolves. They all came back very late; the wolves practically lived here now. They had their own rooms. Renesmee and Jacob were hung over, sitting at the counter island. Renesmee was licking the batter spoon and Jacob was sipping water.

I hadn't seen Seth or Leah yet this morning. I heard Violetta laugh, and she walked in with Alice at her side.

"Good morning sweetheart." I smiled.

"Hey Esme, I'm sorry about last night."

"Don't be. It doesn't matter." I assured

She smiled and looked at Renesmee and Jacob. "Whoa, you both look terrible…"

"We feel terrible." Renesmee dropped her head onto her arms.

"Leah and Seth look fine…"

"How? How do they do that? They drank more than I did!" Renesmee said.

"Several years of keeping it from our parents…" Leah said as they walked in. "I think we pretty much nail it every time."

Seth looked as cheery as ever, "Is that pancakes?"

I nodded and turned back around; flipping the few I had cooking. I felt familiar arms wrapping around my waist. I smiled as always and turned around in his arms.

"I didn't hear you get back. That was a quick hunt."

"It was like 2 hours…" He said after planting a kiss on my lips.

"Really?" I looked down at my watch, "Huh. I must have been distracted."

"By your new baby?" He teased.

"Yes, I was standing outside staring at it with admiration for an hour and a half." I said sarcastically.

"She's a girl, and why would you need to stand outside?" Renesmee asked.

"What?" I asked.

"She's talking about the Ferrari, Ness…" Edward said as he walked in with Bella at his side.

"Oh…that's awkward. I thought you were talking about Violetta and I was really confused."

"I think you need some more sleep." I smirked and turned back around.

Carlisle spun me back to face him.

"I'm cooking!" I said, escaping his grasp.

"You children are stealing my wife and I don't like it." He said to them.

"It's not our fault that she loves us more." Seth smirked at him.

"That is debatable…" I said quieter.

I heard the smile in Carlisle's voice, "You hear that? It's debatable…"

"Oh! Are you allergic to anything? Or not like anything?" I asked Violetta.

"Is it even possible for me to have allergies? I've never had pancakes, so I can't really tell you if I like them on not."

"You've never had pancakes?" Renesmee asked is a shocked tone.

"Well, I might have, but I don't remember if I have or not."

"Oh my god. Grandma, make her 7."

"I can't even eat 7…" Jacob said.

"Okay, like 3."

I smiled as I served up another few.

"Esme, how long will that be?" Carlisle asked me.

"Not long, why?"

"I just need to talk to Violetta."

"Anything I should know about?" I asked.

"Yes." He nodded.

"Oh, I was expecting a no."

"Well, you don't have to." Violetta said.

"You don't even know what it is…" Edward said to her. He, Bella and Alice were so quiet I hardly even noticed them there.

"Where's Jasper?" I changed the subject.

"Playing whatever video game is Emmett's newest. Rosalie won't leave Emmett's side." Alice rolled her eyes.

"Why not?" Bella asked.

"I don't know, she won't tell me."

"Edward?" Bella asked.

He shook his head, "Not now."

"Okay…" Bella stopped asking about it. "So, what time are we leaving for Seattle?"

"Oh, do you guys mind if I don't come? I've…got something I need to do." Violetta said.

"Sure sweetie, whatever you want." I said as I slid the full plate of pancakes towards the ones who ate. I took plates out from the cupboard.

Renesmee slid a pancake onto a plate and moved it towards Violetta. "Try it."

Violetta looked at it hesitantly.

"Don't eat it if you don't want to." I said.

"Eat it." Edward said. I looked at him and he had a concerned look on his face. Carlisle was looking at him too.

"Carlisle, I still need to talk to you about…that thing."

He nodded and left the room. Bella stayed in the kitchen. She looked at me questioningly and I shrugged my shoulders. I had no idea.

"Esme!" I heard Carlisle call. I followed his scent to the garage.

"A lovely setting." I looked at my car and patted the hood.

"Esme." Edward got my attention.

"Right, sorry. What's going on?"

"Did either of you see the hesitation in Violetta's eyes every time someone mentioned her eating something?" He asked.

Carlisle and I both nodded.

"She has an eating disorder." He came right out with it. "She doesn't eat a lot, and she hunts rarely. She's been abused, and she hates her body, so she tried to keep her food at a minimum."

I instinctively took Carlisle's hand and put my head on his shoulder.

"I think there's more, too. She hasn't revealed much about mental stability or anything. She does, however, have scars on her wrists. I saw them last night, and she noticed, so she pulled her sleeve down and held it in her hand the rest of the night."

"I saw them too. That's part of why I wanted to talk with her this morning." Carlisle said.

"That's a good idea." Edward nodded.

"Maybe I shouldn't go to Seattle…"

"You can if you want to." Carlisle said.

"To be honest, I'd rather be with you. It has been 3 months."

"You haven't seen them in that long either."

"They can wait." I smiled at him.

His arm dropped from my arm to my waist. "Thank you Edward." He nodded.

Edward did too and walked passed us, back into the house.

"It's a sensitive subject Carlisle." I said.

"I know. I don't really know how to approach it."

"As someone who has gone through it, I can say that there is no right way. You just do what seems the most comfortable at the time."

Carlisle nodded and kissed my forehead. He slid my sleeve up my arm and brushed his fingers over my clear skin on my wrists.

"Come on, she's probably looking for a way to get out of there." I said.

Carlisle took my hand and we walked back into the house. I patted my car again as I passed it.

"You really love that car…" He laughed at me.

"Not as much as I love you." I smiled, kissing his nose.

He scrunched his nose up and I did the same.

"Oh, we should have asked about Rosalie." I whispered as we walked back to the kitchen.

"What about me?" She asked from the dining table. She was sitting beside Emmett, holding his hand, resting on her knee.

"Nothing." Carlisle and I said at the same time.

"You're gossiping, aren't you?" She joked.

I nodded, "Definitely."

"Let, come for a walk?" Carlisle asked her. She looked relieved when he asked. She nodded and followed us out the back door.

We walked towards the river, getting out of earshot so the others wouldn't hear. They didn't need to know anything yet.
