Forbidden Hearts

Chapter 1: Medical School

Carlisle smiled as he closed the trunk to his car. "Do you have everything?" His father asked.

"Yeah, I think so, but I believe I am missing three things…" Carlisle commented.

Just then a little girl with short dark hair and brown eyes ran out of the house, wrapping her arms around Carlisle's leg. "Daddy! Emmett's being mean," she whined.

"What's Emmett doing?" he asked, lifting Alice up off the ground.

"He keeps hiding my toys," she pouted.

Carlisle sighed. "I'll take care of it okay?" He told her. She nodded and he kissed her forehead, setting her back down on the ground.

"Carlisle you really don't need to take the kids with you," his father told him.

Carlisle let out a sigh. "Dad…you tried telling me that when I was seventeen and I first got custody of them," he answered.

"You're too young to be taking care of a bunch of kids," his father insisted.

"Well, they're my kids and it's my decision," he answered.

The young man walked into the house. "Emmett, Edward, Alice!" He called. He smiled when three kids ran down the stairs. Emmett was six, Edward and Alice were five. Carlisle's older sister, Olivia, and her husband were killed in a car wreck, leaving Emmett and Edward orphans when they were nearly three and two-years-old. Alice was his biological child, he had been raising her on his own after his girlfriend, Karen, left three days after giving birth.

"I'm ready!" Alice announced.

Carlisle smiled as he picked Alice up. "You boys ready to go?" he asked.

"Yea. I CALL SHOTGUN!" Emmett shouted, running out of the house.

Alice looked at Carlisle. "Daddy why's Emmett so weird?" She asked.

"I don't know, I think your Aunt Olivia dropped him on his head a couple times," he replied with a grin.

She giggled and he kissed her forehead as he walked out of the house with Edward trailing behind them.

(Outside)

Carlisle made sure everyone was secure in their seats. "Dad before you object. I believe Olivia and Martin left Edward and Emmett to me," he told his father before he could object. He closed the doors to the car. "Leave it at that," he added. His father let out a frustrated sigh.

"Have a safe trip," he muttered, walking back into the house.

Carlisle got into the car and saw Emmett messing with the radio. "Emmett if you ruin the radio on this car your allowance goes to buying me a new one," he informed. Emmett sat back in his seat while Carlisle backed the car out of the driveway and drove off.

During the trip, Carlisle would look into the backseat to see Edward sitting in silence listening to his headphones. "Hey Edward, what are you listening to?" He asked.

"Debussy," Edward replied.

He smiled slightly, his sister had been forever playing Debussy, it was her favorite. Then he looked over at Alice to see her humming to herself and kicking her feet. "Hey, you guys hungry?" He asked.

"I'm starved," Emmett replied.

"Nuh uh! Daddy he ate all the Cheerios," Alice whined.

Carlisle sighed. "Emmett…" he started.

"I did not," Emmett insisted.

He pulled up to a diner. "Okay, you guys know the rules behave," he instructed. Before he could get "behave" out, Emmett was already out of the car. "My God I know he didn't get that from your mother," he commented, getting out of the car. He grabbed Emmett before he could run inside. "Stand by the car while I get your brother and sister out," he told him. Emmett nodded and started rocking back and forth on his feet while Carlisle got Edward out of the car. He walked over on the other side and lifted Alice up, having her sit on his hip.

They walked into the diner and found a booth to sit down at. "Daddy I can't reach the table!" Alice exclaimed.

"Hold on a second," Carlisle answered.

He saw a waitress walk by. "Excuse me miss," he called. The waitress stopped and turned and for a second Carlisle wasn't sure if he was breathing.

"Yes?" She answered.

"Um…" he trailed off, trying to remember what he was going to ask.

He glanced at Alice, remembering. "Oh um can we get a booster seat for my daughter?" He asked.

"Oh yeah," she replied with a gentle smile before walking away.

"Emmett, don't order too much, we don't have that much," Carlisle insisted.

Emmett nodded his head slowly and the waitress came back with the seat for Alice. "Here we are," she told them, smiling. Alice got into her seat.

"Thank you," she answered.

The woman nodded. "My name is Esme and I will be your waitress this afternoon, what can I get you?" She asked. Just then, a little girl around Emmett's age ran over to Esme, pulling on her skirt.

"Mama, Jasper dropped his glass and it broke," she informed.

Esme looked at her. "Tell him to come out here and sit by the counter and not to touch any of the glass," she instructed.

"He can't," the girl answered.

"Why not?" Esme asked.

"He doesn't have his shoes on," she replied.

"Oh Lord, excuse me for just one minute," Esme told them.

Carlisle chuckled slightly and looked over at Alice to see her coloring and humming to herself again. "Uncle Carlisle, how much longer do we have to sit in the car?" Edward asked.

"We're going to stop for the day," he replied.

"Edward you should just start calling him dad," Emmett muttered.

"He's not dad!" Edward answered angrily.

"Boys don't fight. Emmett he doesn't have to call me dad if he doesn't want to," Carlisle told him.

Emmett glared at Edward. "He is our dad now," he muttered.

"Emmett enough," Carlisle told him.

Emmett stopped glaring at Edward. "DAD can I go play some arcade games DAD?" Emmett asked. Carlisle reached into his pants pocket and pulled out some change. "Thanks DAD," Emmett told him before going to play the games they had. Edward had a sullen look on his face, staring down at the table.

"Edward, I'm not going to force you to call me dad okay?" Carlisle told him.

The five-year-old nodded his head slowly, still not looking up from the table. "Daddy that pretty lady's back," Alice informed. Carlisle looked up when Esme walked back over.

"Sorry, kids," she commented.

"Know the feeling," he answered, gesturing to two of the three of his kids.

Esme smiled as she finished taking their orders. "New in town?" She asked.

"Yeah, on my way to medical school," he replied.

"Oh wow, doctor man huh?" She asked.

"Yeah," he replied with a chuckle.

"I'm Esme," she informed, holding out her hand.

Carlisle took her hand in his. "Carlisle," he answered, shaking her hand. He gestured to Edward and Alice. "That is Edward and Alice. The boy by the videogames is Emmett," he informed.

"The girl next to Emmett by the games is Rosalie and the little boy at the counter is Jasper," Esme answered.

Carlisle looked over at the two children. "Oh! I'll go bring your order in, I'm sorry," she murmured. He watched her walk away and heard his daughter giggling.

"What are you giggling at?" he asked.

"She likes you," Alice giggled.

Carlisle chuckled slightly.
