Alice did her best not to laugh once Drew mentioned questions. She squeezed Jasper's hand tightly, glad he was able to at least calm the poor boy, because it hadn't been this bad when Bella had come, had it? She sighed at Edward and waved a hand dismissively.
"Don't mind my brother. He gets over dramatic at times. Nessie is the youngest of us all; that's the only reason we're all a little protective of her."
And shut up, Edward. You're scaring the boy. It's her first date! Let her have fun. I told you nothing was going to go wrong.
Alice saw the slight nod from Edward, but also the scowl. She'd have to talk to him later, when he wasn't busy trying to read the human's thoughts to see what "sorts of intentions" he had towards Nessie.
"Excuse me," she said, as she tugged Jasper along with her, leaving Carlisle to play to "father" role and ask the questions that Edward couldn't as a brother. Nearing the stairs, she yelled up, "Nessie? Drew's here!" She heard a quick scuffling around, which meant that Nessie was trying to get ready quickly.
When Alice and Jasper came back, Esme seemed pleased, Carlisle had a smile on his face, Emmett was still amused, Rosalie wanted clearly to get back to Donovan, and Edward was ready to start fatherly death threats.
