*she and Carlisle had left the room with Alice and Renessme but heard the pounding on the door. Looking up at Carlisle, she turned to Alice*
Alice, this will turn out ok, won't it? Charlie is a part of our family too, and we have to keep him protected and safe. If he finds out everything....
*she let her sentence trail off, as she heard Charlies voice in the other room. Turning her golden eyes to her husbands, she knew he, of all the family, would see her concern and worry. Looking down at their granddaughter, playing in the floor, she laid her hand on her head, and listened to what was going on in the other room, hoping that it would all turn out all right. Hearing Alice speak softly " I am watching the Volturi, for any decisions they may make, as for Charlie, he is a smart man, and Bella is a smart woman, she will be able to handle him, and yes we are his protectors"*

*Laying a hand on Esme's shoulder trying to absorb her worry and comfort her. Looking down watching Nessie play with her toys, watching Alice face to see if I could gauge how things are going. Jasper standing next to Alice wanting to be down there with Edward and Bella trying to calm Charlie down, but that situation needs few people people down there as possible.*
I agree with Alice Charlie and Bella can work this out with Edwards help, too many people could make things erupt. We shall sit up here spending some quality family time, we can decide what needs to be done, when they have an outcome.
*Listening to the muffled conversation like the other adults in the room. Trying to steer the conversation away from the matter at hand, I ask my beauty,*
Esme dearling did you inform Jasper and Alice of your plans for the family visiting for the holidays? About more construction and decoration?

*feeling Carlisle's hand on her shoulder, she reached up, and laid hers atop his. Looking up at him, she gave him a gentle smile, before turning back to Jasper and Alice*
No, love, I haven't had a chance to tell any of the children yet.
*smiling over at them as they look at her with curiosity, she laughs softly and begins to tell them of their plans*
With everything that happened, your father and I have realized that we need more room for family, but the house is big enough, and we do not want to expand on it. So we have been talking about adding some guest houses. I think we need to add at least two, maybe with two or three bedrooms each, that way some care share the space if need be.
*looking over at Alice and Jasper, seeing them both smile and nod, before either spoke. "that sounds like a wonderful plan. Recent events have shown us that we need room for visitors, so I think its a wonderful idea" she smiled at Alice and nodded*
I expect you to help with the decorating of these cottages Alice, if you don't mind helping me with it?
*seeing her smile and nod, she reaches over and hugs both Alice and Jasper, still listening to the conversation below*

*Plastering a smile on my face listening to Esme and Alice converse on building styles and decoration ideas, watching Jasper's face seeing him try to follow the conversation but he was worried as much as the rest of us. He looks at me with a clouded expression saying,*
"But what if we have to leave Forks?"
*Stepping closer to Jasper laying a comforting arm around his shoulder, looking at him and feeling Esme, Nessie's and Alice's eyes on the both of us*
If this option arises, I am not saying it will, but if it does we will leave Forks as a family, *looking at Nessies pleading eyes* a huge extended family. We have homes all over we can visit, live or we can find somewhere new.
*Jasper nods and Alice looks at me like this option is not in play yet. I gaze at my wife with a knowing look saying please do not worry, things will be fine.*

*talking softly to Alice, she hears Jasper's question and Carlisles response. She knew that if her heart could skip a beat, it would have in that moment. She feared that they would have to make this decision at some point, but she hoped it would be a while before they would have to face it. Looking at her husband, his reassuring smile calmed her. Taking Alice's hand in one of hers, she laid the other on Nessie's head*
Don't fret Nessie, we are not to the point yet, and as my heart has said, if it comes to that, then we will do it as a family, all of us and our new family members as well.
*giving them all a reassuring smile, she moved next to carlisle, taking his hand in hers, as Alice moved next to Jasper, wrappping her arm around his waist "I have not seen anything yet pertaining to that question, and trust me if and when I do, the family will know as soon as the vision ends" Alice gave them all a soft smile, and winked at Nessie*
See, we will worry about that later, right now, our main concern is downstairs, and this is the problem we need to deal with at the moment.
*they continued to listen and talk softly between each other, knowing that Alice's visions were always accurate, so she took comfort in that and her husbands arm slipping around her waist, as he pulled her close*
