Carlisle and Esme

28. Forks

Chapter Twenty-Eight

We moved to Forks, Washington. It was the wettest place in the entire Olympic range, known for its small population and few sunny days. Esme had been renovating a house here, hidden deep in the forests of Forks. It was a beautiful town, a small place.

"How long are we staying here?" Emmett asked.

"Well we're starting over so as long as it takes." I replied.

We unpacked the house. Edward took the room with the best view. Emmett and Rosalie seemed keen on sharing a room which the rest of us weren't too happy about. It had seemed that the pair had started a courtship. I made Emmett have his own room for now.

The house was brilliant. Aside from being absolutely private from the humans outside, the house had enough room for all our needs. There was four bedrooms, a study, an en suite in Rosalie and Emmett's rooms, a kitchen and joint dining room, a family room. It was brilliant. So open.

"You did quite nicely..." I murmured, going behind Esme and gently pulling her hair away from her shoulder so I could press my lips to her throat.

"It is beautiful isn't it?" Her voice was happy and content. I smiled, kissing her throat and trailing my fingers down from her shoulder, down her arm to her waist. I pulled her body against mine and she closed her eyes, resting her head against my shoulder.

"You're beautiful..." I whispered. She murmured in appreciation and slightly in pleasure as I continued to kiss her throat. My hands started moving up her shirt, up from her waist continuing their path upwards...

That was until we heard a loud banging noise from across the hall. A continuous banging noise. And moaning. In pleasure. I pulled away from Esme, trying to block it out.

Edward burst into our room, his hands over his ears. He launched himself onto our bed and started rocking himself backwards and forwards.

"Make them stop!" He groaned. Esme's eyes were wide in horror.

"They're going to break the house!" She squealed. I closed my eyes in genuine disgust.

"Eurgh... This is not pleasant..." I felt sorry for Edward who was trying to block the noise out AND their thoughts. I could barely begin to imagine what Rose and Emmett were thinking in their intimate moment.

"Horrible things! That's what!" Edward answered me. I smiled, sympathetically at him.

Minutes passed. The noise was coming from Rosalie's room which was right next to the stairs. This blocked our only exit so we were trapped, listening and trying to block it out. Even shutting the door didn't help. We were vampires with ultra sensitive ears. So naturally, this was even worse for us.

At long, long last, the noises quietened and came to a stop. Edward shuddered as he pulled his hands away from his ears.

"And I thought I was going to struggle dealing with you two..." He told us. Esme and I exchanged a smile.

"Why are we all in here?" Emmett strolled in, followed by Rosalie. Despite their sexual encounter, neither of them looked hot and bothered like humans normally would. In fact, there wasn't a hair out of place on Rosalie's head. Emmett bounded onto the bed beside Edward. Edward shrieked and climbed off.

"Get away from me!" Emmett roared with laughter and chased Edward around the room. Edward shuddered as he passed Rosalie but then he was gone, screaming down the stairs. Esme and I couldn't stop laughing, even Rose was giggling softly.

"You two are NEVER sharing a room." I told her, which stopped her giggling.

"That's not even fair!" I took Esme's hand and we left our room, followed by Rosalie who had an outraged expression on her face.

"We've only just moved in! We are going to have to leave if you smash the house down!" I told her. We went down the stairs but then Esme paused on the staircase, looking at the blank bit of wall to the left of us.

"My collage piece would look amazing there..." She murmured. Rosalie grumbled as she walked past us down the stairs. We ignored her. I was a bit old fashioned and was quite determined that the pair finish their courtship and get married before sexual intercourse. I was sticking to what I had just said about separate rooms.

"Yeah it will... Well, when are you getting started on it?" I asked her.

"Soon. Maybe when I have the house to myself."

"Might be a little while due to Mr Red Eyes."

"I heard that!" Emmett shouted. I smiled and Esme did too. We continued our descent down the staircase and into the family room where Edward was pinned to the floor, thrashing about like a fish out of water. Emmett was laughing loudly. Rosalie was knelt down by Edward's head and was planting kisses all over his face. Edward was growling.

"Stop it! I know where that mouth has been!" Esme closed her eyes in pure horror.

"I'm done!" She turned out and walked to the kitchen. I leaned against the wall, watching my sons and daughter mess around on the floor. It made me happy to see them like this. Disturbed about what I had just experienced but I was happy to have my life working out like this. If anyone had told me that I would have been happily married with an amazing wife, with three children to call my own when I had first became a vampire... I never would have believed it. But I was satisfied and content with the life I had. It couldn't have been more perfect.
