Emmett waited for Jasper to finally drag Esme out of the house. He beeped the horn, getting impatient.
I walked out to the passenger door. "What are you doing?"
"I'm waiting for Jasper and Esme. We're taking her shopping remember?"
"Esme isn't home Emmett…"
Jasper walked out, "Where's Esme? I can't find her."
"She's busy with something. She will be back by 12."
"What is she busy with?" Emmett asked me.
"None of your business. I've got to go to work now, bye." I smiled as I walked away.
Emmett and Jasper went back inside to find Edward.
"Where's Esme? Carlisle won't tell us." Jasper complained.
"If Carlisle won't tell you, do you really want to know?" Bella asked.
Melody laughed then returned to a book she took for Carlisle's office.
"Wait, so he isn't really going to work?" Emmett asked.
Edward laughed, "He is going to work."
"I'm confused." They said at the same time.
"That was creepy…" Melody whispered
"Esme is running some errands, okay? She'll be back later." Edward said.
"Fine. We will make her tell us when we take her out." Jasper said before he turned and whet to find Alice.
"Esme is going to hate us for a long time isn't she?" Emmett asked.
"Well you broke her favourite photo of her and Carlisle, and the vase she loved… Not to mention the photo of me and Alice that you knocked down afterwards that now has a crack in it." Edward laughed.
"Yes, she will, unless you make it up to her." Bella simplified it for him.
Emmett frowned and walked out.
"Do you actually know where mum is?" Melody asked.
Edward shook his head and Bella laughed, "We just like to make them think we know more than we tell."
Melody chuckled and went back to the book that she was almost finished.
The house was loud as usual. Emmett and Jasper were yelling at each other while playing a new video game, Alice was doing Rosalie's nails, Edward and Bella were watching a movie and Melody was reading a different book.
When Esme walked through the door she was ambushed by Emmett and Jasper with questions about where she was and why Carlisle couldn't tell them.
"You're like 5 year old children. I was running errands." She answered.
"Liar!" Edward called from the other room.
Jasper gasped, "You would lie to your favourite son?" He pointed to himself.
"Don't make me push you into another wall…" Emmett said. "I'm her favourite."
She laughed and shook her head as she walked into the living room and glared at Edward.
"Are you trying to ruin the surprise?" She asked.
"Surprise?" Jasper and Emmett said at the same time.
Alice decided she would save Esme from having to tell them. "Esme? I need to do your nails! I'm finished Rosalie's."
"No! Do Bella's or Melody's, babe. We have orders from Carlisle to take her shopping." Jasper smirked.
Esme rolled her eyes while Emmett pulled her out the door, stumbling backwards.
"What about this one?"
"Emmett, it's orange…" Esme said.
"Stop picking ugly things, Emmett." Jasper teased.
"She hasn't like any of your suggestions either Jasper." He shot back.
"Both of you stop now or we are going back home and I will tell Carlisle." She ordered.
"Sorry mom…" They both joked at the same time.
When they turned back around, they saw a woman and her daughter staring at them, shocked that Esme was a mother of two boys who looked only a couple of years younger.
"We're adopted…" Emmett told them.
Jasper punched his arm, "Shut up…"
Esme apologised to the two strangers and walked away.
It took a while but Esme finally picked a vase and two new picture frames. When they walked in the door, Carlisle was already home from his shift.
"How was your day?" Melody asked.
"I am never going anywhere with them again…" Esme said and sat down.
"What did they do?" Rosalie asked.
"We embarrassed her" Emmett laughed.
"Several times…" Jasper added.
"Never again." She shook her head.
Emmett put the vase where the other once was, and put the flowers he bought her in it. Jasper struggled for a while with the frames before putting them where they belonged.
"Um, Jasper?" Esme said, and Edward broke out in a long laugh.
Jaspers proud face dropped, "What?"
Esme bit her lip, "Wrong frames…"
Jasper made a frustrated noise before grabbing them both and struggling even more to open the frames again.
Emmett was laughing at him.
"Do you wanna go it Em?" Jasper asked, annoyed but both Emmett and the frames.
Emmett lifted his hands, "No thanks, man."
When Jasper mounted the first one on the wall again, Melody interrupted his concentration. "The one on the wall is crooked Jas…"
"That's it! I'm done, someone else do it." And he walked out in frustration, followed by Alice.
Esme laughed and fixed the frame, and then put the other one back together and placed it on the table.
"Movie?" I asked
Melody stood and went to pick out a movie with Bella and Edward, while Esme sat back under his arm
"Did they get the surprise out of you?" Edward asked while putting the movie in.
Esme's eyes widened. "I distracted them and they forgot, thanks."
"Jasper the surprise!" Emmett called.
Jasper appeared sitting next to me. "What is it?" he smirked.
I shook my head and smiled, "Just tell them."
"We're going to Isle Esme for 3 weeks…" She announced.
Emmett's eyes widened and he jumped up, "YES!" he shouted and high fived Jasper.
"How'd you get 3 weeks off Carlisle?" Bella asked.
"I have my ways…" I smiled and winked.
"He quit…" Edward said softly.
"This was going to be a conversation for tonight."
"Well it's already bought to everyone's attention now. Why'd you quit? You love being a doctor."
I shrugged, "People were starting to notice my young looks."
"Well we will move." Bella said.
"No, no. Everyone is happy here. You have Renesmee."
"Alaska? It isn't far."
"No, it really is fine." I tried.
"No. We will look into places later." Alice said.
