It's easy to consider the greater stumbling blocks of the past. Edward's reticence to her arrival. The rows that had lined Rosalie's first two years. The many times Emmett had slipped.
That they had been made together. They stayed together. Changing and growing, adjusting with time, each time. As they would change and grow with Alice and Jasper's addition.
Esme could not help looking on even this with fondness, as she reached out to curl her fingers Alice's hand gently.
Leaving it as the answer Alice's grateful, as she found herself thinking as she had once upon a time with both Edward and Rosalie, that Alice very much needed this -- a family, a home, and parents -- too. Space and time, love and acceptance, companionship; all things their family had to share, and would encompass them both with in time.
