Esme quickly and quietly slipped into the hospital. She hated coming here. It hurt her heart to see little girls wondering around with medical stands attached to an IV. She walked up to an assistant at the front desk and asked, "May I speak to Carlisle Cullen please? It's urgent."
The woman looked up in surprise, "Oh! I'm sorry my dear you startled me. I didn't even hear you come in." She stared quietly for a few moments, observing every inch of Esme. She then looked away to her computer screen, and a slight frown came over her face. She then turned back to Esme and seemed a bit irritated that Esme had not left yet.
"Look hun...he's very busy all day today and I'm sure whatever it is you need to discuss with him is much less important then a heart transplant." she smirked arrogantly.
Esme still gave her back a warm smile and said, "Thank you anyways...if you get a chance, tell him Esme was here."
She nurse gave her a quick nod and began shuffling through papers again. Esme glided gracefully out and started walking home.
She hadn't walked in a while, and today she had nothing to do except to discuss the behavior of their adoptive children. Edward, Alice, and Bella have been out almost every day and she had an uneasy feeling that something was wrong that they were not telling her.
As she was leaving the parking lot, she turned at the sound of familiar footsteps. "Esme! Wait! I'm on my lunch break...what is it?"

Carlisle made his way around the long isles of cabinets in the file room. He held two folders in his hand, barley looking over them he was able to make note of what they said, about whom, and in what room. He was after all one of the best Forks had ever seen, or so many claimed. He ran a smooth hand to flatten the backs of his hair which were still prying up at the ends from wearing the slightly teal hospital mask. Step by step, his footsteps echoed in the halls as he made his way past many shuffling feet.
A few nurses whispered a few things concerning the case in room 233, though Carlisle already knew. He finally looked up from the file, and turned to the right into a small room. His eyes met with a patient lying in the hospital bed, a little boy about the age of two. It was his best guest, his honey colored orbs studied the boy before him. Rapidly images of Edwards tiny body fluttered back into his mind. He looked away to hear a small crash. He slipped the two files into the holder on the door before making his way into the other room where the crash had sounded. A clumsy assistant smiled softly before hurrying to put away a few bottles that had fallen, he nodded and then continued down the hall.
He made his way gracefully towards the front hearing a very familiar voice, that only vampire ears would have heard. He turned towards the door to see his secretary Hannah dismissing his Esme. With a few seconds of starring at her, she turned to meet his gaze. His eyes looked down into the Hannah’s as he laughed softly. He took a step towards the door shaking his head. “That’s enough Hannah” he replied calmly over his shoulder, before shoving the door open. He sped his steps up to catch up with his loved one. “ Esme! Wait! I'm on my lunch break...what is it love?" Carlisle called out to her. Finally catching up to her, he smiled softly. What could possibly be going on that brought Esme down to the hospital.

Esme turned to see that it was Carlisle and began to explain her most recent concerns, "Carlisle, I'm worried about Edward and Bella, and the rest of our family for that matter...It's just... I feel as if they have been blocking me out...and lately I've felt the presence of other vampires in Forks...A lot of them. I'm...I guess I'm just a little nervous about everything that's going to happen, between the wedding and Bella's change...I was just hoping you had some answers...I'm sorry to bother you while you where working."
She paused and giggled to herself. It had been a long time since she had been that stressed out. It almost felt human.
Esme looked back into her husbands eyes and all her worries began to melt away. She loved Carlisle with all her heart...and more then once she thought that she might loose him forever.
She knew this is the way Bella must feel every time she looked at Edward.

Carlisle’s eyebrows knotted as he saw his wife’s expression change. He let a smooth sigh escape from the corners of his mouth. He pushed aside a few things he was thinking about before meeting up with Esme. There was enough going on in his mind to keep him busy for a few more weeks. His eyes carefully studied her as he listened intently to what she was saying. He nodded one, agreeing with what she was saying. He took her hand in his and guided her towards the benches for the break area outside the hospital.
“Yes, I agree with you. Though Esme, you must realize they are much older then you may want to believe. They won’t always have to come to us, as much as we’d like it, they can make decisions by themselves. We just always make sure were there, when they need us” Carlisle wrapped a firm hand around his wifes shoulder pulling her closer to him. He laid his chin on top of her forehead, grazing his thumb over her tiny hand.
He then thought about indeed all the extra vampires, the date of change for Bella. A small pain ached inside him. Thinking of Charlie. He knew absolutely nothing. Carlisle sighed quietly, nothing would get past his first episode of being transformed, he did not wish that for anyone without the dire need of it, though in Bella’s case. It would be for the best even if she had to leave behind a few loved ones. A few others things floated in his mind, but as the look on his beautiful wife’s face was pained, he didn’t wish to afflict her with any more stress.
“As for the extra vampires, we simply hold them to our words, and make sure there aware of the treaty. If they do anything against it, it will not be our problem, but there’s. We can only hope our “furry” friends will make sure they attack the right kind. Those who are willing to change, we can always assist. We set up a few extra precautions around Bella’s change, make sure Alice hasn’t had anything too dangerous come into view. It’ll all be fine love, I promise”
Carlisle sighed quietly starring down to Esme. She wanted answers, answers he couldn’t fully understand himself yet. The second she mentioned about disturbing him at work, he shook his head. He’d hope he’d never hear those words from her. “Esme, don’t say that. You can come whenever you need too. Anytime” He replied softly in her ear, laying his head softly against hers.

Esme's acing and stressed heart began to calm. She lifted up her pale hand and stroked Carlisle on the cheek. Esme then smiled as she realized that she was getting herself all worked up over nothing.
"Your right Carlisle...I just want everything to be alright, and I couldn't bare for anything to happen to any of us..." Her head fell softly. She just wanted her children to be safe and Bella to be happy. Realizing that he probably needed to get back to his work, she gave her angelic husband a tight hug around the rips and quick peck on the cheek. Then, as gracefully as possible, she stood and began to walk back home.
Before she got to the curb on the wet road, she slowly turned her head, letting her hair lushes carmel waves billow in the wind, and whispered "I love you..." back to him.

Carlisle listened to her, he nodded agreeing also to what she had to say. “Nothing will” He was making a promise right at the moment. He wasn’t about to let anything happen to anyone. That was if he could help it, considering he was a Dr. he had a bit more control over that then a few others. He watched Esme, and let a small sigh escape him as he took a step back to stare at her. He returned her soft hug, as she walked away.
Honey colored orbs watched the flawlessness of Esme walk away. Millions of things began running through his mind. There was so much going on, that he wished to tell her but not weigh her with quite so much stress. He watched as she turned and whispered I love you to him. He sighed quietly, making the decision at this moment. He took a few quick paces to meet back up with her, and took her swinging hand into his.
“Esme, there is more going on” He whispered quietly to her. Noticing a few others around the break area, that was close enough to hear their words. “They keep talking of a new disease spreading around. It’s not a disease, I can tell you that much. It lasts for three days, then the Dr.’s report that there patient goes missing” His voice was calm, and yet firm. “It may be possible that’s where all the others are coming from. The real question is, whose changing all of these innocent humans, and why.” He turned his head back towards a few co-workers before looking back to her. “ If anything suspicious is going on at home. Please…don’t hesitate to phone or come and get me.” He lifted his head gently before brushing his lips gently across hers in a soft kiss. “ Were approaching dark times, we need each other more then ever right now”

Carlisle caught back up with her and began to explain. She noticed, since there where human's around, that he used the usual code about the disease. Which in their case meant to become a bloodsucking venom filled vampire. It was an appropriate term since they were at a hospital and he happened to be a highly trained Doctor.
Esme knew in her gut that what Carlisle had just explained was true. There had to be someone changing all of these people lately, but for some reason she felt that they where not in Forks...
As she realized what could happen if they didn't stop whoever was doing this, she shuddered slightly. Then, Esme slowly relaxed her tensed up muscles when she realized that the Volturi, as violent and bloodthirsty as they where, would never let that happen again.
Esme smiled up at Carlile. She knew he only kept this from her so that she wouldn't worry. She replied, "We've been through worse...and like all the hard times before...we just need to stick together..." She put her arms around Carlile's bold pale neck and kissed him on his velvet lips.
The kiss did not last long...suddenly an ambulance pulled up. Esme slowly pulled her head away from Carlile to see who it was.
The doors opened and out came a small girl covered in her own blood. Esme began to look away from the sad scene, but then something caught her eye...as they widened in concern.
All over the girl there was jagged puncture wounds from her neck to her feet. "Carlile...look!"

Carlisle listened to his wife, and was now officially glad Edward was nowhere close to this particular spot. He studied his wife, he didn’t want to scare her. Yet, there was a gut feeling clenching onto him, this was going to be far worse then anything the family had encountered so far. He looked away from Esme for a moment, trying to sugar coat his words as much as possible. Though he found no such luck. He tilted his head softly in a small inner defeat before starring into Esme’s eyes. “Darling, it’s going to get, much, worse”
He adored the kiss that was returned. As quick and simple as it was, he enjoyed the few seconds it lasted. Though the vampire’s ears twitched as the siren ran through the neighborhood. He followed Esme’s eyes to the ambulance and sighed. He watched a few paramedics release a stretcher with a girl. Dr. Cullen, it’s another one a slender parametric called over to him that answered to the name of Colin. Carlisle nodded once hearing Esme’s words he looked back towards the ground. “Yes, we’ve seen so many now. I’m afraid things are only going to get much more difficult. We…” Carlisle was interrupted by a short livid scream from the girl before one parametric shook his head slowly, taking the small cap from his head.
Carlisle watched the girl as they now slowed there pace moving her into the hospital doors, no longer in a huge hurry. He turned to Esme, and wrapped a thin yet firm hand around her waist bring her closer to him. He knew how Esme felt in the first place with being at a hospital and even more so of children dying. Honey eyes watched the doors close behind them. “ We need to have a long talk with Bella, love” Carlisle watched the doors swing back and fourth before looking down to his wife. “ Best, without Edward if possible. Well need separate conversations with both. Wer-“ Another siren sounded, Carlisle lifted a hand to the back of his blonde hair before looking back to Esme.“We need to have a family discussion” They were going to need to up security, discreetly of course. Things were getting out of hand.

Carlisle was right. They needed to have a talk with their family. Bella needed to know what was going on before something bad happened to her. Esme would not be able to bear it if Bella got hurt because Edward would be hurt even more.
"Your right...i'll gather everyone together and we'll discuss our findings and what we can do about it." She explained to Carlisle. Esme looked into her husbands deep golden eyes and kissed him once again on the lips.
This time she did not care who was looking. After a few seconds she pulled her head away gently once again and gave his brawny shoulders another quick hug.
"I'll see you tonight." She whispered in his ear. Then, she began to walk away slowly and crossed the street.

Carlisle watched his wife and nodded to her as she confirmed his idea. He stole the quick kiss back from her and returned the hug with as much passion built into it as always. The honey eyes watched the flawless being walk away from him. “I’ll see you in a few minutes” Carlisle whispered back finally. He turned on his heel to head back into the hospital. Dr. Cullen, what’s wrong? Carlisle smiled softly walking up to Hannah’s desk before taking her clipboard from her. “Hannah, I need to leave…..a family emergency.” Carlisle looked up to meet her eyes and smiled softly before handing her the clipboard.
He rapidly made his way down the halls, taking clipboards from the doors, and filing them away. Grabbing his coat, he replaced it for the white Doctors robe he was currently in. He snapped up the buttons, replaced his wallet in his back pocket then made his way back out the doors. But Dr. Cullen Carlisle didn’t look back, his foot stepped outside the door. His eyes met his car in the lot and quickly made his way towards it. His eyes scanned the vehicle as he noticed footprints in the dirt in front of the car in the dirt. He squinted an eye observing them before getting inside and driving home. Carlisle couldn’t get ahold of what cruel being would enjoy taking away innocent lives. When he was turned he attempted many times at taking his own life, he couldn’t even think of taking some one elses. (end)
