5 an Sorry this one is so short but I felt I needed to end the chapter before moving in to bellas pov next chapter.

When we arrived back at the house it was empty except for Esme and Bella they were sitting on the sofa in the den watching a chick flick. They turned to look at us as we walked in. Carlisle spoke first.
"Esme could I have a word with you upstairs please"
His thoughts were worrisome and guilty. I gave him a reassuring pat on his arm. I felt the same.
"Of course" Esme replied with a smile.

Carlisle's POV
Esme and I flew up the stairs together and into my study. she perched on the edge of my desk while I went to the large window and looked out.
"What is it dear" she asked.
I didn't know how to say it I couldn't find the words. In the end I decided to just come straight out with it
"I cant be with you anymore, I'm in love with Edward I have been for some time and he feels the same he's my true mate"
it came out a lot harsher than I had wanted.
"I'm sorry that came out a lot harsher than I meant it" I didn't turn from the window.
She came over to me and placed a hand on my shoulder
"Please stop feeling so guilty it's all right I understand." I looked at her tentatively.
"Really?"
"Really.!"
"Thank you for being so gracious about this"
"Your welcome."
"You will stay with the family tho won't you?" I half expected a no
"Of course i will you and Edward are my companions the others are my children. I won't leave any of you, you can't control how you feel and who you love"
"Your being more wonderful about this that I deserve"
She just smiled. Then her eyes brightened as an idea came to her.
"I don't really fancy moving into one of the spare rooms they really are awfully decorated she said with a smirk that made me wonder what she was up to
"Do you think Edward would mind swapping rooms with me"
"You mean move Edward in with me? Are you sure you don't mind that so soon?"
"Of course not, you two get a room together with my bLessing I get the best room in the house we all win"
I grinned at her
"We'll you will have to check with Edward but I think its a great idea"
"Ok then"
We went out and stood in the hallway looking at the forest through the glass back wall and waited for Edward.

Edwards POV
Esme and Carlisle flew upstairs. I felt for him for what he had to do, he was such a gentle souled creature. I knew that however well Esme took it him leaving her would hurt and causing that pain would hurt my Carlisle.
I went to sit by Bella in Esme's vacated spot. I didn't know what to say how to do this so I started with a general greeting
"Have you had a good day"
"Yes thank you. Are you ok? You look troubled"
"Yes. and no" I replied "we need to talk"
"If your going to try and talk me into staying human its not going to work. I fully intend to be a vampire. I don't fit in the human world i belong in your world and in your family"
"That's not what I wanted to talk about. You do belong in my world I can see that now and you do belong in this family"
"You really finally get that" she was grinning at me
"Yeah Carlisle explained it in a way that made total sence"
"What did he say"
"Kind of what you just did that you don't fit in the human works and also that you aren't scared by our world he thinks that you are a rare kind of human whose true destiny is to become a vampire"
"Cor" she said then llooked at my face. I knew that my face looked troubled
"If your not trying to talk me into staying human again what's wrong" she demanded
"Well" I paused the rest of the words had got stuck in my throat I was going to hurt her so much I was about to do what I had sworn never to do.
"what Edward"
I tried again
"You do belong in this world and this family if you want to stay in it" I paused the words had got stuck again.
"Why would I not want to stay in this family it's our family I'm your mate,
I tried again
"You do belong in my world but you don't belong as my mate"
She didn't speak didn't move. I looked at her to see her face frozen in shock.
"I'm sorry" I whispered. It was all I could say, I couldn't form the words to tell her that I didn't love her anymore that I loved Carlisle instead,
She looked at my eyes and her expression broke. I could tell that she had realised at least half of it. That my love was no longer for her that it now belonged to another.
She leapt up and rushed for the door. she ran out for once not tripping in her hurry, a minute later I heard her truck start and drive away. She hadn't said a word since my bombshell.
At first I couldn't move then i heard Carlisle shift upstairs. I heard in his thoughts that he was waiting for me. My frozen body thawed in an instant and I flew to his side. He wrapped an arm round me and gently kissed my cheek.
"I'm guessing that didn't go well" he said sympathetically, of course he has heard Bella's hasty exit.
"Better than I expected if I am honest. But no not well. How did Esme take it"
"Astoundingly well. She intends to stay with the family"
"I told you so" I chuckled I couldn't resist the old cliche.
"In fact she has a question to ask you"
"Oh" I suddenly noteced that Esme was standing the other side of Carlisle. I pulled away from his embrace worried that it might upset her. She noticed.
"I'm fine with it trust me Edward. You can be affectionate in front of me" she pushed Carlisle close to me again and he replaced his arm round my waist.
"Oh ok thanks" I skilled .
"What is it you want to ask"
"Well. I'm none to keen on our guest rooms and in my opinion you have the best room in the house so I was wondering if you would be willing to swap with me"
"You mean move in with Carlisle?" I was staggered, how could Esme be this alright with this much this fast
"Yes if you don't mind. Carlisle likes the idea but he said I had to check with you"
I looked at Carlisle and he grinned back at me
"Personally I love the idea but I thought it polite to get Esme to ask you. It is your room after all, I grinned pecked him on the lips and turned back to Esme.
"I love the idea if your sure your ok with it."
"Of course I'm sure. I will do all the moving I don't want any help you will only mess it up." She smiled at me to show that she was teasing then ran to the garage, in less than a minute she was back with a stack of cardboard boxes. She carried them into my room and I could hear her packing my things swiftly into the boxes. Carlisle turned to me the smile on his face was dazzling. He wrapped his other arm gently round my waist.
"I haven't been this happy in a hundred years"
"I know the feeling" I replied returning his smile and his embrace.
Without warning He kissed me fiercely it was heaven i distantly heard Esme chuckle as she passed us in the hallway and then the world around completely disappeared.
