"Oh so I am easy to please." He said still joking. "All I need to make me happy is you, and the family. Nothing more and nothing less" He told her smiling. Carlisle was glad that they had met all those years ago. Life was good, and Esme only made it better. He knew now that he could not live with out her, everyone in the family had their special someone, and now Edward. He knew it would be difficult, but love was worth fighting for.
"Thank you, I might just have to hold you too it. Do you not like the way I dress?" He asked her, grinning. He knew it was not exactly top of the fashion industry, or even close, but it was comfortable. And practical, more so than what he had seen Alice in a couple of times, the shoes were what got him, in all his years, he had never really understood the whole shoe thing. Carlisle had learned to keep his temper in check, and was pretty good at it. "Yes that we do, as long as she never becomes a snack herself, its all good" He said, knowing that it was always a possibility.

Esme smiled. She loved their intimate moments like this. But she knew that they would be interupted soon, they always were. "We were always so easy to please. It has never been hard to please us. Never needing much and always the same things." She knew she only needed him and her family to be happy.
"I love your style. Alice couldn't do anything to it to make me hate it. Everything looks good on you." And it wasn't a lie. He could be wearing rags and she wouldn't care. Clothes didn't make the people. "I highly doubt she will become a snack. The children have better sense then that. I trust them."

Interruptions, why did they always have to be interrupted. It was like an unseen force acting against them, never letting them get any peace, or time away from life's interruptions. "Its about time we became less easily pleased." he said to her, Family and Esme, Carlisle was happy, anything that bothered them well who ever or what ever that was, they had a death wish, as Carlisle wouldn't let anything get in the way of family or Esme.
"Why thank you Mrs Cullen. I have to say the same about you. Though Alice's style certainly adds to your beauty." he told her, Esme looked great to Carlisle at any time of the day, and dressed in whatever she always looked her best. "I hope so. They should know by now not to eat humans." he said with a slight smile. Carlisle suddenly had an idea, "Esme, will you run away with me?" He asked her as he couldn't hold back a grin.

Esme looked at him with a smile. "Well, Dr. Cullen, how do you suppose we do that?" Was there a way to make someone want more than they already do? Was it even healthy. Esme knew that she had everything in the world that she could ever want. She was loved by a wonderful man and had children too.
"Alice has a way of bringing out a person's inner beeauty. Did you not see Bella the last time Alice had gotten ahold of her. Could I not hear her heartbeat I would have thought she was one of us." And it was true. Alice had a way of creating styles that fit people well. She was truely talented.
"If they do not know better by now, they need to be punished. Now I can understand if they had control issues, because we can't all be perfect. I know that I have issues sometimes, but they should conduct themselves with the utmost dignity. If they do not know how, then I have taught them nothing." She knew they had at least retained some of her teachings and she knew they had retianed Carlisle's rules. But sometimes things could get a little crazy.
Esme looked at him. Was he joking, or was he serious? "Carlisle, where would we go? Would the children come also?" She didn't know quite how to respond to it. SHe was sure if they left the children, they would have less control over their bloodlust. Someone could get hurt.

Carlisle had no answer for her, "I guess we could always just say no on occasion." he suggested, for one he knew that it would probably never happen, as family meant too much to both of them. They had everything they could want, money family gadgets and cars. What more was there, for Carlisle nothing as far as he knew. But then did anyone really know what they wanted, beyond what they already had.
Shaking his head, he couldn't remember the last time he had seen Bella. She never seemed to be around, mostly he thought because she spent every moment she could with Edward, who Carlisle hadn't seen for a while either. Conspiracy? No probably just the normal thing, what ever that was. "Seems like Alice has us all. What would we do with out our little pixie princess." he said as he smiled.
"Esme you have taught them well, and I think they know better, than to unleash our wrath on them. I hope so anyway. It Jasper who I worry about, being so new to our diet." He explained, Jasper being the new veggie vampire, was tough on him, Carlisle knew that, and he expected everyone to help him. But he knew there would be mistakes, and close calls along the way. It was just a part of life, especially theirs.
Carlisle didnt know what to do, had he just offended her. Or was it something else, did she not care for him the same way? He smiled softly at her, as he put on a smile, trying not to show his worry. "Isle Esme, the one place that were can be ourselves in the sun and not worry about anything." He suggested to her. "The children could come as well, yes. They could go and do their own thing." He offered, "Esme, what's wrong? If you think its a bad idea, just tell me. Have I offended you at all?" He asked her so unsure of what he had done.

"We would still be dressing as we did as humans. Alice needs to keep us in with the times, some what." She knew they needed her. Without Alice their cover would be compromised easily. So maybe she was necessary in their daily lives.
Jasper will learn. I just hope he can adjust better than he has. He is fine, don't get me wrong, but I think he may need a little more work to get to where the rest of them are." She always worried about Jasper. She had always told him that she was here to talk if he needed it.
Esme smiled. She had almost forgotten about Isle Esme. It had been a long time since Carlisle had taken her there. "Do you think they would be fine on their own for a few days?" She asked. She would rather have her alone time with him if they were to go. "No Carlisle, it isn't you. I just got a little worried. I know Edward won't just leave Bella and I didn't know if the children would be alright if we left them. But if you want to go to the Isle, then I would rather be there with you alone."

"Yes that is true, times change and it seems we like to stay the same. But some of the outfits have been outrageous thinking about it now" he explained, the sixties and seventies had been something, but then there was the fifties. The styles had greatly changed over the years more then he had expected.
"Yes, he struggles not only with blood lust, but then there is his gift. Sometimes I wonder if he can handle it. He does well though, they all do, especially with being around humans, they have shown great restraint." He said, Carlisle was extremely pleased with them all, as they come a long way. And he just wanted them to keep their slates clean so to speak.
It had been a while since they had both been there, his gift to Esme. She deserved far more than that, but what else could he give her. It just seemed the right thing to do for her. "Of course they would, Edward can take care of things, and they all know where we are, if anything was wrong we have cell phones, and they can always come to see us" He commented.
Carlisle gave a sigh of relief as Esme spoke, "There is no need to be worried. Esme, if you don't want to go that is fine, it was only an idea." He said to her, "I'm sure the children would be fine if we left them. It just seemed like an idea, that's all" He said, as he spoke softly to her.

Esme laughed. "I admit there was some wild ones, but at least we didn't stand out. I had to admit that it was a lot easier for all of us posing as roommates was a bit of fun. It was easier than playing family." It was hard sometimes. Esme and Carlisle really didn't look like parents of teenagers.
Esme nodded. "And I think it may help that I am always there to talk to them if they ever needed it. I try to be nonjudgemental and unbiased. I understand that mistakes happen." She had come to terms with all of it to. She knew that she made mistakes also, but she also knew that she could always talk to Carlisle if she needed to.
She nodded in agreement. Edward was probably the most mature out of the five of them with Jasper in close second. Emmett was at the bottom of the responsible list. They all had their own talents though and she was sure that they could handle things on their own. "I am sure they can handle things fine on their own." She agreed.
Esme bit down on her bottom lip and smiled at him. Her eyes glistening as she did so. "Carlisle, if I say yes, when can we leave?" SHe asked him to quiet his fears. SHe loved the idea of jetting off to their own little secluded island and enjoying themselves the way they used to. They wouldn't even have to worry about being seen by humans.

"Wild ones, the shoes and the hair,. If that was blending in, id hate to see sticking out" He joked as he grinned at her. "Yes it was, but now I think we are better suited to the parents role. After all play fighting with Emmett and Edward, its a little dangerous to be around them" He joked, knowing that the wrestling didn't do anyone any harm at all.
"They know you are there for them, I have a hard time with accepting hurting humans especially now. But then its always forgiven and forgotten. I cant ask more of them than I already have." They had all learned, and so far things were good, though he knew it wouldn't take much for things to go bad, and when it did, it wasn't going to be good. Esme could always speak to Carlisle, about anything at any time.
"Yes they are capable people." He said, wondering if things would be the same if they did go. Or if the house would be a mess, and things jut generally in a bad way. If anything happened to the house, then he didn't want to be around when Esme found out. There was one argument he wasn't going to get involved in.
He smiled softly at her, as he thought about his answer. "How about tonight?" He offered her. If they were going to go, he wasn't about to wait for a disaster, or the hospital to call. Or the kids to create havoc. He thought that while they had the chance, it might be good to take it. After all who knew about the future, and what was going to happen.

"It wouldn't have been the same had we not been that way. We got to have a little bit more fun and experience things acting completely irresponsible as humans. I can guarantee I hadn't ever acted like that before." She knew that they had been pretty reckless in those eras. Sure they stayed under control of their hunger. But it still didn't change the experiementing everyone did. "I think I may be more fit for the role as mother though, and you make an excellent father."
"I hope they are capable of being resonsible. I would hate to return home to a destroyed house. I don't think I will want to clean." She knew she would want to return home with a peaceful and relaxing state of mind, and to a home that was zen.
She bit down on her bottom lip and smiled at him. "Give me ten minutes to pack?" She asked with a smile. sHe loved the idea of getting away from things, if only for a little while. The island was a perfect getaway. She knew that Carlisle needed to have a break himself and she was sure that the hospital would let him go.

Carlisle laughed as Esme spoke. "Irresponsible! I thought we were blending in. After all, flower power was a great time. Flares and us men wearing what are now called, platforms, and well according to Alice, we shouldn't be seen wearing. I miss those shoes." he joked a little, knowing the looks that they would get if, they even attempted to dress like that in these times. "Thank you Esme, and no one could ever make a better mother then you Esme. Though I still think wreak less human suit me well." He joked again, as he smiled.
"You wont return to a destroyed home, they shall look after it. And if they don't, then all privileges go, cars, phones, everything." he said to her, being serious about that. Yes accidents did happen, the occasional smashed vase, or broken table, with their play fighting, but then if there was anything worse than that. There would be hell to pay.
Nodded he smiled back at her, "Ten minutes is no problem." The island would be a good break, as well they needed a holiday. After everything that had happened, and was happening, it was a deserved break. Carlisle needed a few minutes to square things with the hospital, but he was sure it wouldn't take too long. "So are you ready to leave here and head for home to pack?" He asked her, as he grinned.

"It wasn't the fashion I was inferring to. I was talking of our behavior. We did some pretty interesting things back then, but we had so much fun." She cuddled up against his chest and wrapped her legs around his waist like they used to. They had been so carefree then and she knew that they still could be, but they held back a lot.
She laughed at his punishment idea. "Oh no, what ever shall they do? They worship their little toys. We would really have to hide the objects to keep the children from stealing them back." She knew the kids would be responsible enough to take care of the house in their absense.
She nodded and smiled. "Yeah, let's go. I need a snack before we leave though. We have a long trip to go." She unwrapped herself from around him and stuood up to where her whole body was against his. "I love you Carlisle." She breathed as she wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Trust me to get the wrong end of the stick" He said as he smiled, as the thoughts of some of the things came into his mind. "Interesting yes they were that. And it is good to have fun, it seems that were have become a lot more restrained, over the years." He commented, as he grinned at what she was doing. Carlisle instinctively wrapped his arms around her, as if protecting her for the world.
"You really think that they would dare to steal them back?" He asked her chuckling as he did. He could see them doing exactly that, but then the consequences would be sever for all who did. Carlisle could be stern when he needed to be, and fortunately that wasn't too often if at all. "We could always sell them? That way, they cant get it back" He suggested, as they had the money to buy what they wanted again and again.
"Sure I think we can manage that before we go" He told her smiling, sometimes he wondered what he had done to be so lucky. Esme was the picture of beauty, and she his everything. Carlisle released his grip on her, as he listened to her words. Carlisle brushed his face past hers, as he whispered into her ear softly. "I love you too Esme." He said, seriously. Those were the most sincere words he ever spoke. He again wrapped his arms around her, as he stood there and smiled. "Lets eat" He said.

"Is it bad or good that we are restrained? I mean if we were still that wild, we would raise some suspicions. That and Chief swan wouldn't let Bella over, that would be a shame." Edward loved the girl. She loved him just as much. It was a never ending cycle, love. But it was beautiful all the same. She loved watching love bloom. It was heart warming.
"I can see a couple of them stealing their stuff back just to prove that they could. I think that Alice would be hurt the most if we took her credit cards though." Alice was way too much of a shopper. It was her weakness and would be her downfall. Rosalie's was her car. Edward's was his music, and well Jasper and Emmett was more outdoorsy.
She smiled at him. She loved this man with every fiber of her being. "What do you want as a snack?" She would leave the menu up to him. She was always ready to let others lead and follow behind them. She wasn't high maintenance like her daughters were. She was actually quite low maintenance and well grounded. It helped though in her life.
