Carlisle pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed heavily. He was wishing for the first time that Edward did not have a gift. That he had no gift at all, it would certainly make the days easier. Alice had taken to spending as much time as possible out of the home to avoid him reading her thoughts. Carlisle had taken to reading as much information he could find in his study so his mind would be filled with questions of the human body instead of the wolf and Bella together. He also hated that he couldn't tell his mate, Esme knew that Carlisle was troubled but he could not under any circumstances tell her, she would instantly crave to mother Edward which would raise questions as to why...
He turned to his wall of glass and could see the shine of Edward's Volvo pulling into the drive, followed by Emmett's jeep. Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rose all carpooled together and Edward as usual drove her, Bella. His dead heart cracked slightly when he seen Edward smiling wide down to Bella. He didn't need to have Jasper's gift to know that boy loved her. He could Esme pulling in the driveway also in Carlisle's car. Warmth and love filled his chest and beat away the dull black that was caused at seeing Bella. He knew that Edward would have to be told at some point but when...who would tell him? Would Carlisle tell Esme and she would comfort him? Would he pull him aside and have a fatherly chat, hope that Jasper could calm him down before he acted rash? With the wolf being the key point in this situation, having Alice attempting to see the future would be difficult. It was only a matter of time really.
