ESTE WALKED INTO THE STUDY and closed the door behind her. Carlisle sat at his desk, looking at Este as though hoping she would speak first but what could she say?

"Shit" Este shrugged. There'd argued in the dining room for hours. Edward had broken the table, Emmett had left the building and Jasper was considering taking up meditation. Alice was in near tears, Bella was being more stubborn than ever and Rosalie was pretty much picking out baby clothes. All in all Este would say that it couldn't have gone worse.

"Shit" Carlisle mirrored her exact words.

"Do you think one day we'll just get a moment of peace?" Este asked as she started to walk back and forth angrily across the study's "Like a day where no one argues and we just sit quietly and enjoy ourselves without some threat of death looming over our heads"

"Probably not" Carlisle replied, he looked very tired.

Este sighed loudly and pushed her hands through her hair. Her dining room table was broken, her living room was in desolation and Bella had a monster growing inside her uterus, a monster she was determined to salvage. Life really couldn't get more messy.

"Do you think it's possible?" Este stared at Carlisle, "Possible for her to survive"

"Technically anything is possible" he shrugged in response, "doesn't make it plausible"

"Great help, thanks Carlisle" Este rolled her eyes.

"We'll have to research it, I don't know everything" he stated simply. Often Este wished that he did even if that would make him all the more pretentiously intelligent.

"I can't believe this actually" Este continued to pace, "I mean sure bad things happen to us at a constant rate and I probably should be ready for anything at this point but this could have been easily avoided"

"Yes it could have"

"Did he need to fuck her?" Este asked wildly, "like really? Could he not have waited a few months?"

"I've said it before Stella, Edward's still a man at the end of the day"

"It's not that hard though" Este went on her furious rampage, "I'm sure he could've prevailed, you did!"

"Me and Edward are very different" Carlisle replied, his head leant against one hand.

"Oh trust me I am very aware of that" Este seethed, "because you would never have done something like this to me and I would never have let you"

"Would you not?" Carlisle asked lazily.

Este paused in silent contemplation for a moment.

"That's besides the point" Este waved her hand, "what I'm saying is that Edward has been so incredibly righteous about protecting Bella, guarding her around the clock, driving her out of state and moving to Brazil! Yet her cause of death could most likely be the product of him being unable to keep it in his fucking pants, like how ridiculous is that!"

"Stella—"

"No I'm serious" she almost stamped her foot in tantrum, "Now we're responsible for cleaning up this mess and reading god knows how many books to hope we can find some solution and meanwhile on their lovely little vacation (that I organised by the way and have thus far received zero gratitude) they decided they simply couldn't have enjoyed it without... well you get my point"

"I hear you very clearly Este but I'm assured the rest of the house can as well"

Este stopped stationery in front of the desk with a slightly amused expression on her face.
