You're being ridiculous, mun. Is this the third time you've resolved to app me to this place?

[Edward, that's really not-]

That is the perfect way to put things. You may have kept the idea in the back of your head, but you continually have delayed.

In any case, that is immaterial.

If you must subject me to these so-called games then do so, but do not attempt to drag others of my world or my family in with me. They have done nothing to deserve such treatment.

Carlisle, that's...

She's human.

[AND HE WANTS TO KILL HER.]

She won't be forever, Edward. That was the agreement the two of you made. She marries you and you would change her instead of me.

[GET OVER IT SON.]

[HIS EYES HARDEN he doesn't resent you for what you did dad but he's not planning on changing anyone else.]

Carlisle, I'm not going to damn an innocent girl. She's not dying.

[And suddenly the other shoe drops]

... instead of you??

[VAGUE PANIC BEGINNING 3... 2... 1....]

[Well he's glad that you don't but this was Bella's idea and you made a deal with her. Also, not really keen on you killing yourself when she dies. Esme would be distraught. So would everyone else but let's think of Esme's face when that would happen because hers is the most heartbreaking.]

You're not damning anybody, Edward.

[Oh, you caught that?]

We had a vote. I wasn't going to let you die, Edward. And Alice doesn't think that she has the restraint necessary.

[That probably doesn't... make it better. Does it?]

[Not quite flinching - Carlisle's imagination (memory?????) is good, and Esme's anguish is hard to take. Though killing himself?? Well yes Bella is pretty and smells absolutely maddening and is interesting but...

but well

um

but]

It would be nice if I could believe that as firmly as you do.

Carlisle, that's absurd. Looking after Bella is hardly likely to lead to my death.

[Sighing and pinching the bridge of his nose. It's completely unnecessary considering there's no one he has to pretend for here but it's habit, okay?]

You underestimate just how often Bella gets into trouble. More to the point, she's human Edward. She's going to die someday. You're the one that told her you'd provoke the Volturi if ever something happened to her.

[Edward spends a few moments more or less flabbergasted look he's still in denial over liking her at his pullpoint okay]

Of course she is, that's the natural progression of-

Carlisle, why on earth would I provoke the Volturi? Why would I tell her anything of the kind? She doesn't... she can't know what we....

[Edward, did the wedding photo mean nothing?? Does he have to bring up the memory of the ENTIRE wedding? He'll do it, so help him.]

You didn't tell her anything. She's very smart. And you love each other.

[BE GENTLE HE'S LIKE IN SHOCK OR SOMETHING HERE]

She-

[SUDDEN WORRY]

That's already against the laws. Carlisle, even if I didn't do a thing-

[VOLTURI OH NO VOLTURI 8(

Dad he knows they're your friends but he doesn't want them anywhere near her okay

[Edward, it'll be okay. I promise.]

All the more reason to change her when the two of you are married.

[And to love her forever. And not be alone ever again. Then the Volturi won't come and see her.]

[SAL;KGDHLSKDFJ]

Even if I had the self control to stop before I killed her - which I don't, it took everything I had not to murder dozens of children the first time we met; I don't even want to think about what actually tasting her blood would do to me - that doesn't change the fact that she's human. She's soft and fragile and breakable, and I will not see her damned!

[UGH! Why are you so difficult?!]

You are stronger than you think, Edward. Do you want me to remember every occasion that Bella's bled near you and survived? The time you did taste her blood and had the self-control to stop yourself?

[Oh wait, no. That one would be bad.]

That you care for her as much as you do tells everyone else more about you than you can see yourself.

[Someday... he'll convince Edward that they have souls. And that they aren't damned.]

I am not being difficult.

You're overestimating my self control, Carlisle, I-

[wait.

Wait.

What???

A tired, crooked little smile.]

You haven't managed it yet, but by all means keep trying.

And you are underestimating it.

[He'll bust out those memories.]

I have plenty of time to convince you.

[And by God, he will keep trying.]

[He's horrified at everything Carlisle is remembering - him drinking her blood and the state that she's in (how could she have gotten like that? If he was there, how could he have let it happen? Really, she's just a girl, but-

But-

8|]

[Yeah, not giving the context of that injury. The last thing we need is Edward using that to prove Bella doesn't belong in their world.]
