Esme stepped into her ex-husbands office and sat down, Carlisle tried to give her a smile, but it turned out more like a grimace, he cleared his throat to speak, a habit after working at the hospital for so long but before he could Esme spoke with a soft smile, "it is okay, we  knew this was going to happen at some point and honestly I am happy that you are finally going to meet your True Mate, I just wish I could meet mine too." 

Carlise gave her a soft look before going around the desk to hug her, "you truly are an amazing woman." 

They both separated when they heard their 'Children' returning, both noticed an extra set of steps and a scent neither, Esme squeezed Carlisle's hand and whispered, "good luck," before they both walked downstairs and why they reached the front yard Carlisle froze and Esem could not help but smile.

Carlisle spotted the red-headed and stepped forward in a daze, "I am Carlisle.' 

The red-headed could barely get her name out, "Victoria." 

Carlisle stepped forward and opened his arms and Victoria sped towards him, they both just clung to each other and Carlisle whispered, "it is so amazing to finally meet you," and Esme noticing everybody's confused looks and cleared her throat, gathering everyone's attention, including Carlisle and Victoria, she smiled at them while speaking, "I do apologize for interrupting but I think it is time we had a family meeting." 

Carlisle nodded before reaching to hold Victoria's hand, "I agree," and with that everyone followed Esme to the house, Carlisle and Victoria sat on the main love seat, while everyone else scattered around sitting next to their Mates, everyone noticed that Esme sat on what appeared to be a new love seat.

Angela spoke up first, "what the hell is going on?" 

Esme smiled before looking at Carlisle who nodded, "before I speak everyone must promise not to interrupt," after receiving multiple nods, including Victoria who looked thoroughly confused.

"Well this is Victoria, Carlisle's True Mate, Carlisle and I, we fell in love when we first met but we knew after he turned me that we were not True mates, a few weeks ago Carlisle told me he started to feel the pull, so I immediately got the divorce papers sorted and we have been waiting ever since then," and before continuing to speak she turned towards Victoria who looked like she was feeling guilty regardless of whether or not it was her Mate, Esme continued, "and I can honestly say that I am, glad that you are finally here, Carlisle deserves true happiness and as I said to Carlisle the only regret that I have is that I wish my Mate was here now," and everyone finally understood and were once again in awe by how selfless Esme was.

Esme smiled at everyone before standing up, gathering everyone's attention.

"Where are you going?" Rosalie and Victoria both asked at the same time.

"It is time for me to go," she said with a sad smile and Victoria spoke up before anyone else could, "please do not go, you do not need to, I would like to get to know you too and I do not want to take your lace or anything like that," Esme then interrupted her with a chuckle, "you are not replacing me do not worry," she turned so she was addressing everyone, "I just, I would like to spend some time by myself for a little while, maybe I can find my Mate too," she said hopefully, "I do have one request though." 

Carlisle nodded quickly, "anything," and Esme smiled softly, "I will return again, I do not know when, but I will and when I return, I would like to still be the Matriarch of the family, I love rest of the family like they were my own children and I would still like to be a Mother figure to them."

"Of course," Carlisle nodded, "regardless of who my Mate is I do not think anyone could replace you," and Victoria nodded too, "yeah, I agree, I can sense that from you and I honestly do not think I could ever do what yo do, even if I want to and I bet you will always be a Mother to them," so then turned to everyone else, "right?" 

Esme could not help but give a teary laugh when everyone practically shouted, "yes."

She hugged everyone and after an extremely emotional goodbye, she walked towards the door and picked up the small bag of essentials she packed earlier, before she left to turned and spoke one last time, "I will be back one day, I promise," after receiving a smile from everyone she turned and left, running through the woods.    

70 Years Later 

Alice loved clothes, if they were stylish, she has them, she daydreamed about clothes, well clothes and Jasper abut when she got her newest vision, clothes were the furthest thing from her mind, her high-pitched exited squeal was heard throughout the house, gathering everyone attention, one by one they sped into the room.

"What is it?" 

"What?" 

"What is up?" 

Alice was beaming, jumping up and down, practically bouncing, "Esme's coming home!" 

This brought grins to everyone's faces, Victoria spoke up first, "do you know when she will be here?" 

Alice nodded, still grinning, "in 5 minutes, she is running," he grins then faded.

"What is darlin'?" Jasper asked and Alice sighed, "I think she is alone...." 

Rosalie finished her sentence, "which means she did not find her Mate," and before anyone else could say anything they heard footsteps and one by one made their way outside, they all smiled when Esme came into view looking as gracefully as ever, she had changed, that much they saw, especially her style, which Alice and Rosalie both loved, Esme was wearing black skinny jeans with black stiletto pumps with red bottoms, a simple blue V-neck t-shirt and a black leather jacket, her ember eyes stood out and she looked mesmerizing.  

"Hey guys," she whispered unable to stop her smile and Emmett broke out of his daze first, immediately speeding forward to wrap her in a bear hug, needless to say it was luck she did not need to breathe, "mom," he whispered, she hugged him back tightly until they both ready to let go, when they finally pulled apart she caressed his cheek in a loving motherly way and smiled, one by one she hugged each of 'Children' and gave a brief hug to Carlisle before turning to Victoria and she smiled, "it is nice to meet you again." 

Victoria grinned, "you too." 

"Love the outfit," both Rosalie and Alice said at the same time, bringing a chuckle from everyone, Esme grinned, "you have Isabella to thank for that," and Edward frowned, "Isabella?" 

Esme still smiling took a step back so she could see everyone, "yes Isabella, but she hates being called that so you would be best to call her Bella," and Rosalie spoke up this, "I am sorry? Who is Bella/" She asked making sure she did as Esme asked, and Esme suddenly got a nervous look on her face which suddenly changed to one of mischief, she quickly spun around to her right and then tumbled as if knocked by some invisible force, she rolled around quickly around and quickly gathering the upper hand and the 'empty' space she was straddling was suddenly occupied by a girl, everyone's jaw dropped. 

"Aww, come on," the girl moaned, "there was no way you have sensed me, what the hell?"

Removing her hands from the girls' wrists to sit up, still straddling her, she moved her hands to rest on the girls toned stomach, "while I could not see you, smell you or hear you, the area around you where your shield was didn't smell of anything, no forest, no nothing."

Isabella pouted as she sat up and wrapped her arms around Esme's waist, "no fair, I am pretty sure I was blending my smells," Esme chuckled and kissed the girl's nose, who scrunched her nose in what Esme thought was the most adorable way ever, "you will get it soon, you are still a Newborn," it was then that everyone noticed the red eyes. 

"Yeah but I am an extra-ordinary Newborn, you said so yourself, I am controlled, like really controlled and you taught me how to feed from animals and strength and stuff and that was only in a week, why can I do this, it has been 3," Esme then kissed her forehead and held Bella's neck with her hand, forcing Bella to look at her, "you just need to have patience, most Vampires have trouble controlling anything while their still Newborns and while that is nothing to be ashamed of, you have never had that problem, you have been Vampire for only 6 weeks, there is no rush."  

Bella sighed, "fine," and Esme smirked, "I will still love you, even if you are useless." 

Bella grinned and rolled her eyes, "why thank you," and Esme stood up and held her hand out to pull Bella up, who instantly wrapped her arms around Esme's waist and kissed her, it was brief but loving and they both sighed happily but however they were pulled out of their kiss when Emmett bellowed, "Hot" which got him a smack around the head from Rosalie, everyone chuckled, pulling apart, Esme held Bella's hand interlocking their fingers, "guys this is Isabella," she said softly, "my Mate." 

Alice frowned, "why did not I see her coming with you?" 

Esme frowned, "maybe it was her shield?" 

Eward then speak up, "I think you are right, I cannot read her mind." 

Alice grinned again, "Never mind it is so great to meet you I am..." Isabella interrupted her grinning, "Alice," and Alice looked confused for a second before Bella spoke up again, "Esme has spoken all about her family so I have made guesses as to who is who," she then pointed to Emmett she spoke first, "you are a big guy but really friendly so I am guessing you are Emmett," she smiled when she received a nod say that she was correct, "next you have got blonde, beautiful, looks kind of distant but I have been told you have an amazing heart and you are great with mechanics," when she received multiple chuckled she grinned, "so you are Rosalie and you and Emmett are Mated," both nodded and Bella grinned waving at both of them before continuing, "okay well we have already established the Pixie is Alice." 

"Hey, I have never said that," Esme exclaimed. 

Bella grinned and kissed Esme's check, "no you did not but I did and then..." Bella trailed off confused before she looked at Esme, "didn't we get distracted by some control thing, where we established that you on to - oh... does not matter," she said shaking her head as if to rid of her thoughts, which Esme smiled at amused, Bella continued , "and the guy with the smoldering looks standing next to her proudly as if he was a shoulder would mean that is Jasper, the guy with the hot Texan accent... HEY!!! OUCH!!"

"I did not say that either," Esme spoke up. 

Bella pouted rubbing her shoulder in a mock pain, "so... I happen to think that people from Texas that have accents are hot, sue me." 

Jasper spoke up with a grin, "it is a pleasure to meet you, ma'am." 

Esme rolled her eyes as Bella mocked sighed dreamily as she fanned herself, "swoon," making everyone laugh, which of course made Bella smile, pointed at Angela, Bella continued, "glasses over there is Angela who Esme said was one of the nicest people she met, McBroody must be Edward who is the most enchanting person on the piano that Esme's ever heard, white guy over there must be doctor Carlisle, who Esme had missed, which means redhead there is Victoria who Esme would like to get to know," she turned to her Mate, "am I right?" She grinned. 

Esme smiled and rolled her eyes, "I do not think I described them that way you did but yes you are right." 

Emmett grinned, "I like you, Bella-Bear." 

"Bella-Bear?" Isabella asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Well yeah, Esme said you do not like being called Isabella, so I will call you Bella-Bear, that okay?" He asked. 

Bella grinned back, "sure thing Emmy-Bear." 

Alice then pipped up, "oh My God, we can go shopping and..." 

Bella groaned, "I hate shopping," which of course Alice who was still rambling, did not hear and everyone burst out laughing, Bella would fit in perfectly.
