I think....hmm...well here's what I think:If Carlisle hadn't changed Edward,he wouldn't exist.If he eventually met Esme and didn't change her,she wouldn't exist either.Same goes for Rosalie and Emmett.And if the family wouldn't have existed,Alice would have never seen them.So she and Jasper would probably live together,but I don't know if she alone could keep him from drinking human blood.Bella would go on doing whatever and that's mostly it.So the way I see it,it's all going back to Carlisle.He does hold the family together,as LuckyTimothy said,and he helped Bella lots of times,Jacob,Edward and everyone.
