CARLISLE'S POV

It had been a long day at the hospital, I had not seen the sun all day long. The
sun Hadn't Risen when I Left for work this morning and just setted now. With
darkness all round me, I saw the lights from the house. And I also saw a bra
hanging from the top window...

The car finally reached the garage.I felt a bump under the car.Oops, that was
Edwards bike I'm guessing since he is the only one who bothers to ride one.*Sigh*
Oh Well. I Quickly blocked out what just happened so Edward wouldn't find out.

“Carlisle...why are you thinking of Rosalie's head on a dead frog?"

" I..umm.. was imagining how beautiful Rosalie looks even when she is a frog."
Rosalie glared at me.

“Carlisle, look what the boys did to my wall, again!” Esme was pointing at a huge,
Emmett shaped dent in the wall. She had just got done repainting the kitchen from
the flying frying pan incident the night before...

“Jasper keeps messing with my emotions! It's not my fault hes emo. Jasper go be
emo somewhere else!” Emmett whined. Of course, Jasper got bored and manipulated
Emmett into saying something stupid.

“Oh Edward, just because you can't control your temper doesn't mean it's Jasper's
fault! Take some responsibility.” Alice chimed in, protecting her husband even
though she knew he was to blame.

“Well, if your husband would stop getting mine in trouble, I would appreciate it
Alice. And you and your little girlfriend need to get some thicker skin!” Rosalie
hissed as she pointed her finger at Edward and Bella. She still refused to accept
Bella as a part of this family and of course she was the only one allowed to
constantly manipulate Emmett's fragile emotional state .

“Hi Carlisle. How was your day?” Bella asked sheepishly from the couch. Why is the
human the only sensible one? You would think that with all of our years of
experience we would at the least be able to have manners.

“Hello Bella. My day was terrible thanks for asking. As for the rest of you, I
want to have a family meeting right now! Bella would you please join us?” I smiled
at her, but turned to glare at the rest of them as they all silently walked over
to the dining room table. When everyone was seated, I took my spot at the head of
the table. Normally I would sit, but I was too irritated and so I began pacing
behind the chair as I tried to figure out what we should do to fix this situation.
They all waited impatiently.Maybe a mental hospital...jobs...Having to kiss Mike
Newton. Ding !

This type of welcome home had become routine. I would walk through the door only
to see the boys wrestling around on the floor like John Cena versing Big Show, a
wake of damage to Esme's house all around them, or the girls would be bickering
about one thing or another. Things like this happened when people lived together
for decades, it was somewhat normal, but the fact they continued to fight over the
same ridiculous things was starting wear on my patience. It had to stop, and I
made my decision about how we would proceed. They would hate it, and I wasn't sure
it would work, but there were some issues that needed to be addressed by this
family and I saw this as the safest way to proceed. They would all be forced to be
on their best behavior and who knows, it just might work or at the very least,
annoy them into behaving better.
Get out of my head Edward, you'll find out when they do. And you will not like my
decision, but you and Bella will go along with it WITHOUT complaint. Edward nodded
apologetically, knowing he had been caught.

That boy just hated to wait like the rest of them. Then Alice groaned, she
obviously saw my decision now that it was made. “Enough from you Alice.” I
responded to her glaring eyes with raised eyebrows. She clenched her jaw and
quieted down.

“So thank you all for coming to this meeting. I wanted to talk to you all about
some of the things that have been going on around here lately.” I started calmly.
I saw Edward roll his eyes, Emmett pointed at Jasper and Rosalie shot a nasty look
Bella's way. Perfect start...my open minded vampire family.

“Over the last few weeks, I have noticed the arguing around here has really
increased...the fights are happening daily and the attacks on each other, and
peoples bra's hanging from windows.,” I glared at Rosalie, who just looked down at
the table.Emmett snickered.“ I have turned more vicious than ever. I am not
blaming anyone in particular,” Emmett coughed Jasper's name causing Alice to smack
him. I crossed my arms and waited for their attention.

“This is just one of those things that can happen to our kind when you spend every
minute of the day together for several decades. I don't want anyone to leave, or
be a hobbo, I don't feel that is the best thing to do in this situation. I have
another suggestion that I would like the family to try, and when I say family, I'm
including you in that Bella.” Her eyes got wide and a nervous smile played on her
face. Of course, Rosalie rolled her eyes at me calling Bella family but she was as
much a part of this family as any of us even if she was human. Here's where things
would get Icky... I took a deep breath. Then Another. And another and said “As
head of this house I am making and decision we are all going to family therapy.”

Edward slammed his hand on the table and started talking so fast under his breath.
"Edward, Did you say something?" Bella asked."Just singing." Rosalie continued
filing her nails, completely ignoring me. Emmett scoffed at the suggestion while I
could feel Jasper's confusion from across the table. Alice still had her jaw set
and refused to look at me.

“Do you really think that's a good idea Carlisle?” She asked tentatively looking
around the room at the children's' reactions. “And are there really vampire family
therapists?”

“Well, no, But A New Human Family Therapist Just Joined In At The Hospital And He
MAY Be Able To Help Us." He May. "Yes. Fresh Bait!" I Heard Emmett Say.
Bella Looked At Edward Who Had His Fingers Pinching The Bridge Of His Nose, Before
She Spoke. "Um, I'll Go Carlisle If You Think It Will Help Everyone." *Cough* "The
Guys" *Cough*.

Looks Like You'll Be Joining Us Son, I'm So Happy.

Edward Glanced At Me, And Then Went To Work On Bella Since He Realized They Were A
Package Deal.” Bella, You Do Not Have To Go To Therapy With My Family. Just
Because They All Have Mental Issues, Doesn't Mean You Have To Endure This
Punishment.”

“This Coming From Our Suicidal Brother! Edward, If Anyone Needs To Be There It’s
You! We Have All Put Up With Your Self Hatred, And Your Anger Issues.” Rosalie
Spat At Him. Edward Rose To His Feet But Bella Grabbed His Arm. To His Feet But
Bella Clutched His Arm.” Please, sit down Edward.” And He Listened. She Really Was
The Best Thing That Happened To Him.

“Rosalie Is Right. Why Do We Have To Go To Therapy If Edward's The One With All
The Issues? Make Him Go, and When He's Normal, Everything Will Be Better.” Emmett
Bellowed.

I Held Up My Hands To Make Them Stop." Listen, If You Want Me To Go Around The
room And Tell You Why I Think You Need Therapy, Fine. Edward...Well Rose Just Told
You. Edward growled in Rosalie's direction.

“Jasper, With Power Comes Responsibility. Feeling Our Emotions Is Something You
May Be Able To Do To Control But Manipulating Them For Amusement Is Different And
You Do It All The Time Now, Like Its Some Sort Of Addiction. Edward is all
Loopey-Dopey cause of you messing wit him awl the time.”

“Alice, dang girl I know your all “ Oh let me tell you what you need to wear, your
on crack 24/7 , and your like all futuristic on me. Bella and Edward's future is
just that their future. Let people make their own mistakes quit trying to be the
controlling power of the universe. And everyone knows you look at Rosalie and
Emmet “ Playing“. You need to admit that your shopping addiction has gotten out of
control.. And why on earth do you care so much what Bella's clothes look like? She
is not your personal Barbie doll.” Alice looked sheepishly down at the floor.

“Rosalie, for some reason you have an issue with Bella and though you make no
secret about it the big secret is why that is? Are you jealous of her being
obviously more prettier than you? Do you need to be the center of attention that
badly? I have tried to talk to you about it at length as well as every other
member of the family and you refuse to budge. Bella is going to be a part of this
family and you need to open up to that idea. Edward loves her. I know you see
that, now accept it.” Rosalie shot rays of death at me with her eyes. Edward
grinned. Bella just blushed.

“Emmett, you need to be more considerate of everyone. No one likes someone who
constantly makes them the brunt of their jokes. You enjoy making others feel
uncomfortable. It has become a game for you to embarrass Edward and Bella on a
daily basis. You know it never ends well, yet you continue. Why do you feel the
necessity to always be “the funny guy” ? What insecurities are you hiding behind
the laughter?” Emmett's head bowed down in surrender.

“Esme and I have tried everything we can think of but now I feel it is time we
seek professional help. I am not expecting any of you to enjoy this, but I am
expecting you to respect my opinion and participate. Are we clear?” I asked.

As I surveyed the room, I saw Esme nod , Alice and Jasper exchanged a look and
gave a small smile, Edward rolled his eyes, but Bella had already agreed to go so
he was in like it or not. Rosalie muttered 'Fine' under her breath, and Emmett
gave me the thumbs up so they all had agreed, grudgingly. It Feels Good To Have
Things My Way For Once.

“Thank you all for agreeing. Now I do have some ground rules for our therapy
sessions that I would like you all to Follow. The doctor is human, so obviously
keep our secret, but please be as honest with him as possible, that's the only way
he can help. And, it would make life a bit easier for Esme and I if we kept the
fact that Alice and Jasper and you and Rosalie are married to ourselves...Oh And
Emmet I Want You Especially To Be On Your Best Behaviour Since Of What Happened
Last Time At The Doctors…” I said as I eyed Emmett.
“What You Don’t Want Dr.Dover Knowing You Let Your Kids “Play Around“ In The
House?” Emmett jabbed, playfully with a big grin on his face.

“Yes, Emmet, I Would Prefer That You Stay Between Us. If Possible...” Knowing
Emmett and Edward's tempers, I assumed one of them would let it slip and if I had
to guess, I'd guess Emmett would be the one so spill the beans so to speak.

“I Will Make Some Phone Calls And See How Soon I Can Get Us To See The Doctor.”

Edward Its Getting Late, Bella Needs To Go Home. He Gave Me A Nod .

“Goodnight Carlisle.” Bella Said As She Came Over And Gave Me A Goodnight hug.

“Goodbye Bella, Thank You For Listening, And For Your Help With Edward.” I
Laughed, There Was No Point of Whispering, Edward Could Hear.

“This Should Be Interesting...” She Giggled.

“You Have No Idea!” I Couldn’t Help But Laugh Myself. Did I Just Really Suggest
Sending 7 Vampires And 1 Human To Go To Family Therapy? This Was Going To Be Damn
Right Hilarious.
