Chapter Nineteen: Family Talk

Sarah stood in the doorway of her and Paul's room. She knew that she had to be downstairs soon. Paul was lying on top of the covers asleep and a hand on his backside. Before going over to the bed she went to the stereo and turned it on softly so that their conversation wasn't over heard by the others downstairs. She smiled and went over to sit by him. Paul moved and turned to look at her with sleepy eyes.

"How are you feeling?"
"Sore, but I think I'll live."

"Daddy really laid into you, didn't he?"

"It's alright, I deserved it." Paul said.

"Did Daddy spank you for the detention or the fighting?" Sarah asked as she lying down next to him and snuggled close.

"Both I think, I mean it feels that way. I told him what my father had told me the last time I'd gotten into trouble for getting a detention for fighting. Pappa agreed and used that wooden spoon in the kitchen. Wait, how did you know that I got detention?"

"Sam. He called a pack meeting when Quinn didn't show up for his shift at 3 today. Leah told him what had happened and he's not happy at all about."

"What did he have say?"

"A lot, he said that the pack had no right teaseing you, even though I wasn't at the school didn't mean that you weren't ever gonna see me again. He said that the pack should be luck that daddy didn't take me and have the whole family leave town leaving you behind. Told them that this was their one and only warning about these issues."

"Wow. But they left once, Sarah."

"Yeah but they came back. I don't want to give Daddy a reason to want to move. Sam doesn't either."

"You know the pack feels the same way." Paul said.

"I know."

"So….How long did Sam ground the pack?"

"Four nights, the tribe got together with the pack as well, the leaders decided that spanking was in order. You're to go to Henry Clearwater when your grounding here is up."

"Why not my parents?"

"They agreed to let the Tribe Leaders handing what happens to the pack. Although I think your dad does want to talk with you at some point."

"Great."

"Daddy's gonna be having a meeting soon. And Jacob, Leah and Seth will be moving in here as well."

"Where's Carlisle gonna place them. I only saw one other room besides the study that wasn't occupied."

"I think Dad plans to renovate or add onto the house."

Downstairs in the living room Esme and Carlisle had assembled the rest of the family as well as Jacob, Seth, and Leah. Rosalie didn't like this one bit.

"Why are the wolves here?"

"Because they are part of this family now. Sarah is part of their pack. Whether we like it or not."

"Then why isn't she with them on the reservations? Seemed to be working just fine till she found you." Rosalie said.

"Rosalie, you know why. Sarah has been waiting for this day since she came to Forks." Emmett said before Carlisle could reprimand her.

"She's been living with them for years, Emmett. She could have come to Carlisle anytime she wanted." Rosalie counted.

"Sam forbade her from leaving the reservation." Jacob said.

"That didn't stop her though, did it?" Rosalie shouted back.

""Not everyone is perfect, Rosalie."

"So? Sam should have watched her more closely."

"Rosalie, this isn't up for discussion! Now, the reason for this meeting is because of the recent changes to this family. First, yes Paul and Sarah will be living here, as will Leah, Seth and Jacob."

"WHAT!? Dad, you're joking." Rosalie shouted.

"Rosalie, stop." Esme said in warning.

"Daddy, where are they going to stay? We only have one room left." Alice asked.

"We are going to renovate the attic and basement, as well as Edward's room."

"My room, why do you want to renovate my room?" Edward asked from his spot next to Esme.

"Yes, I want your room to be connected to Sarah's and accessible from your room only. Plus we'll need to add things that Bella likes."

"So you want to renovate three parts of the house? That will take months, Dad." Rosalie said.

"You girls will be writing and drawing out designs and patterns for how you want the rooms to look. Seth, Jacob and Leah please have an idea on how you want your rooms to look. Boys, you will be helping me move things out and demo the attic and basement. Alice, I'm giving you a limit on how much you can spend for this."

"But, Daddy!?"

"No, Alice. Everyone will be pitching in for this."

"What about Sarah and Paul?" Rosalie asked.

"They will be helping as well. Anything else you have to say, Rosalie?"

"No, Sir." Rosalie said.

"Good, next, Rules."

"Shouldn't Sarah and Paul be down here for this?"

"I'm here. Paul fell asleep, Daddy. Do you want me to go wake him?" Sarah asked as she bounded into the room and placed herself on Jasper's lap.

"No, not right know."

"Ok. Hey, Jaz." Sarah said.

"Hello, Miss. Sarah." Jasper said.

Alice just smiled as she pulled Sarah onto her lap.

"Daddy, do you plan on adding to the house or Renovate?"

"Renovate and I want you and Paul to help."

"Ok, sounds like fun. What are we renovating?"

"If you were down earlier, you'd know." Rosalie said.

"Rosalie, please go to your room." Carlisle said.

"What? Why? I'm just telling the truth." Rosalie said.

"Rosalie, go."

"Fine. Whatever." Rosalie said as she got up and went toward the stairs.

Carlisle took a minute to calm himself. Jasper sent a small calming wave to him.

"Thank you, Jasper." Carlisle said, "Alright, rules. Esme and I haven't really enforced the rules lately, but that's going to change. I want all of you to write out the rules. You all have an hour to think of the rules that you can think of or remember." Carlisle said as he placed a single sheet of paper on the table along with a pen.

"Also, please state the consequence that goes with it." Esme said.

With that Esme and Carlisle got up and left them. Sarah looked at everyone.

"Alright, so we have to write down the rules we remember." Alice said as she grabbed the paper and pen.

"I've got a better idea." Sarah said with a smile as she got up.

"Sarah, we only have an hour to get this done. We also have to write down the punishments that go with each one." Emmett said.

"I know." Sarah said as she selected her favorite book off the bookshelf.

They watched as Sarah opened the book in the middle and removed a folded sheet of paper. The other just stared at her trying to see what she had.

"The other night when everyone was talking and getting organized, I came in here and placed this in my favorite. Didn't think Daddy still had it. Any ways, I figured that Dad would want to have a family meeting at some point and ask us to write down the rules and such so I spent some time writing this out." Sarah said.

Alice took the paper and read it out loud.

CULLEN FAMILY

RULES

OBEDIENCE: When we are told to do something we are expected to do so right when we are asked to do it.

TELL THE TRUTH: No lying. When asked a question always answer truthfully.

RESPECT: Always respect us and each other with respect.

NO FIGHTING: Fighting among each other or at school is unacceptable. Talk things out. Do not resort to physical or verbal violence.

NO SWEARING: NO foul language is acceptable. It is vile and rude.

NO STEALING: There is no need to steal. Ask and you might be able to have it.

ANY SHOUTING AND/OR YELLING: there isn't any need to shout or yell, especially if you're in the same room as the person you are talking to.

Clean up your own mess: If you take it out, you put it back.

Show respect for people's property: Knock before entering, ask permission before you use something, and put it back better than you found it. If you break it, rip it, or mess it up, replace it or fix it.

"Alright so that is a list of the rules what about the consequences?" Alice asked.

"Thought we all could come up with that together. Like Dad said we only have an hour."

Just then Rosalie came in as took retook her seat next to Emmett. Sarah and Rosalie glanced at each other but didn't say anything to one another.

"We all know that one of the consequences is a trip to Daddy's study for a spanking." Alice said as she wrote it down on the back of the paper.

"Lose of Privileges." Jasper said.

"Extra chores from Mama." Emmett said.

"When I was little before my parents split up Charlie would always make me stand in the corner. Does Carlisle do that still?" Bella asked.

"Yeah, Alice, write down time-out/corner time." Edward said.

"Hey, Jacob, didn't Sam make you eat a piece of soap when you cussed him out that one time?" Seth asked.

"Yeah. That was gross."

"Carlisle has yet to do that, but he does threaten it all the time." Rosalie said.

"What about that apology letter Billy and Same made us write?"

"Oh, yeah." Jacob said looking at Seth.

"Carlisle did that to Emmett last week." Edward said.

"If I remember you had to write one to." Emmett said.

By the time they were done they had a list of consequences. This what it said on the back:

CONSEQUENCES

Spanking

Lose of Privileges

Extra Chores

Time-outs/corner time

Mouth Washing

Written Essay/apology letters

Grounding

Restriction

At that moment Carlisle and Esme came back in. They went over the rules and consequences as a family. By the time they were done it was too early in the morning for Sarah, Paul, Jacob, Seth or Leah to go to bed just to get up a few hours later to get ready for school. Carlisle decided to call the school and tell them that they were given a doctors notice that they would be out of school for two days.
