Chapter one: the meeting

EPOV

I sighed and feel back on the bed, today was one of the longest of my life. It had been two weeks now since my now X wife had been killed by one of my rivals in the drug game, but to our friends, and those who new us, we were just telling them that she left me, our twins, Jasmine and Lilly (5) and our little boy Jamie (12, months). It was hard for me to work in this kind of job and look after the kids. My mother and father were being helpful, but I hated leaving my kids with my mother all day, and my father had to work to. I didn't want my babies to know that this world even existed

My best friends Emmett and jasper told me that I needed to get a nanny, but I don't know if I like the idea, of a stranger looking after my kids. But Rosalie, Emmett's wife, gave me the number and agents that have top class live in nannies.

So now here I was, looking over the résumés of nannies to see which one I would leave my babies with.

"Daddy? Can you play with us?" Jasmine and Lilly where standing at the door to my study, each with their new 'Baby born' under their arms. I smiled at them and waved them over to me. Pulling them up onto me knee, holding them close to me, they were all I had left, my babies.

"What do you want to play my little angles?" I asked them.

"Babies!!" the giggled and held up their dolls, oh brother.

"I know, how about I go get your brother ready and we call grandma and granddad and see if they would like to go to dinner with us, and then grandma can play dolly

With you?" they looked at each other for a minute, and then nodded their heads.

"Yaaaaaayyyyyy" they yelled and jumped down from my knee and ran to their room to get ready. I chuckled and walked into Jamie's room. He was standing up in his crib waiting for me, smart kid.

I gave him a quick bath and got him dressed; then put him in his play pen while I call my mom to see what they were doing. She told me that her and my father and Alice and Jasper and Rose and Emmett would all meet us at the diner for dinner.

"Ok girls are you ready? We're going to leave without you!" I called up the stairs, with in seconds they were running down the stairs, their dolls in there little pusher looking things. I smiled and grabbed Jamie's baby bag off the counter, and picked him up out of the play pen. Getting them in the car was a lot easier then normal.

"Ok were off" I said and pulled out of the drive way.

Alice this is a family thing, and I really need to be looking for a job. Your brother really doesn't want me there." I tried to reason with her.

She shook her head and continued to pull at my hair. "My brother doesn't know what he wants." She told me, "And as my best friend, you go where I go, and you don't know anyone here yet, this will give you the chance." She said "there you go" she said and pulled my in front of the mirror, the girl did have a talent I would give her that. "Now let's go" she said.

Alice and I had meet in collage and had been best friends ever since. We were room mates and had almost all of our classes together, but my major was child care and her's was fashion.

I love kids, I was always taking care of kids in high school and knew that that's what I always wanted to do. Now I just needed to put my knowledge to use.

Alice, jasper and I all got in the car and started driving to the diner at the edged of town, it was nice, we had been there before.

As we pulled up I seen Esme and Carlisle' car, Emmett's and Rosalie's car and then a big black shinny SUV with all of them standing around it. Then I seen that Esme had a baby, well no not a baby, it was a little big.

"OO, Jamie." Alice yelled and was out of the car before jasper had even stopped.

"That's her nephew, Edwards youngest" Jasper told me as we walked over, then two little girls came running at Jasper.

"Uncle Jazzy" they yelled in sink.

"Hey, there's my girls." Jasper bent down to pick the girls up. They were so cute, both with bronze curls and big green eyes. They were so cute.

"Jasmine and Lilly Cullen, what did daddy tell you in the car about running around in the car park, or on the road!" Wow, this handsome young man could not be their father, or Alice's younger brother,( by three minutes) he had the same color hair and eyes as the girls. But his face was flushed, and he had a look of panic on his face.

"Calm down Edward, I've got them. Oh and sorry, this is Bella, Alice's Best friend, who is being very rude by not introducing you." He called the last part over to Alice who was playing with the little boy in Esme's arms. Her head shot up at her name.

"OOO, sorry, Edward, this Bella, my friend that I told you all about. She's staying with Jasper and I. Bella; this is Edward, my little brother, and his twins, Jasmine and Lilly, and his baby boy Jamie." She finished with a smile and a clap of her hands.

"Hi" I said with a little wave of my hand, and a small smile.

"Hi, sorry you had to see that, but their my babies and I don't know what I would do if anything every happened to them." He said, extending his hand to me.

"That's fine. I understand, when I was working for this couple in New York, I felt like that all the time when I was out with the two boys." I smiled at him.

We all walked into the diner, Esme had called and booked us a table. We each found a seat; Jasmine and Lilly were on either side of me. And the waitress brought a high chair over for Jamie who sat next to Edward. We made small take and Esme and Rose played dollies with the girls until their food came, they were the sweetest little things.

"SO Bella had any luck finding an opening?" Esme asked from across the table.

"No, not yet. No one's hiring at the moment." I shock my head and pushed my food around my plate.

"Sorry, but what do you do Bella" Edward asked as he handed Jamie a bread roll off the table.

"Umm, child care. I can teach up to 6grade, but I rather work with litter kids. There so much fun, but right now i just need a job to get started. You know?" he nodded, and then looked deep in thought.

After we finished dinner we all went back to Esme and Carlisle's place, it was big and had that homey feel to it. I sat in the play room with the girls and Alice and played dollies and Barbie's with them. Alice told me how their mother just upped and left them, and that it was hard for Edward. He was a doctor and had funny hours, so he couldn't always be there to look after them. Pore Edward, no wonder he seamed so stressed.

It got to 8:30 and the girls were starting to fall asleep on the sofa.

"Edward?" I couldn't find him, then I hard him and Esme talking in the kitchen. "Umm Edward?" I said as I entered the kitchen, they both looked up at me. "Sorry, but is there somewhere that I could put the girls down to sleep?" I asked.

"Umm, yeah, I'll help you." He smiled at his mother, and then led me back into the lounge room where the girls and Alice were.

Edward picked up Jasmine and I got Lilly. I followed Edward up to the second story to the far end, he opened the door and there was a big double bed and a crib for Jamie, who was fast asleep. He pulled back the covers and place Jasmine down; I copied and put Lilly down.

"Bella?" looked up at him and he motioned for us to step out of the room, he didn't quite shut the door, leaving it open a crake. "Did Alice happen to mention that I was looking for a live in nanny to you?" he asked, I frowned, no, she hadn't.

"Umm No." I told him.

"Well, I am, and Alice may have slipped me your resume at dinner, I hope you don't mind, but of all of the resumes that I've looked at, and after seeing you with my kids, I have to say that you are the best by far."

"Umm thank you." I didn't really no what to say.

"So I was thinking that maybe you would consider it?" he asked.

"Yes, your kids are beautiful and lovely, and I do love your family. But I can't help but feel that Alice was, I don't know, trying to pimp me out or something." I giggled.

"Yes, she dose that." He chuckled. "So, what do you think? You could come over tomorrow before I leave for work and we could hash out the finer details?" he suggested.

"Yeah, is about 4-4:30 ok?"

"Yeah, sounds good."

We walked back down the stairs to find everyone in the lounge room, Alice smiled straight at me, Ooo she was so going to get it as soon as we were in the car.

EPOV

Bella was nice, and she was good with the kids. I wonder why Alice didn't tell me about her sooner. And hopefully she will stay on after tomorrow.

I'm Farley sure that she doesn't know what our family dose for a living, and that's just fine. I like to keep my two lives separate. My home life and family always come first, and as soon as I find that son of a bitch that kid napped and killed Tanya the better, I have man all over looking and waiting for someone to slip up. Although Tanya and I were never that close of a couple, she is still the mother to my children, and no one makes my babies cry and gets away with it, no one.

I left the kids at mom's that night because I had to get some work out of the way that mourning and I would pick them up at about 2 o'clock.

I woke up the next mourning and hurried through having a shower and getting dressed. When I was meeting with clients, or people that owed me money, I always dressed up, nice suit, dark black sun glasses. Emmett and Jasper wore a lot of black, they were like my body guards, you couldn't get past Emmett.

Emmett and jasper were in my kitchen by the time I came down stairs.

"Lets go, I have a meeting with Bella about a job for her this after noon and I have to pick up the kids from my parents place before that." We headed out to my SUV and Emmett was driving, he always drove, he had thing.

We pulled up to a house, it wasn't big, or even all that nice, but these fuckers owed me money, and I was going to get. We got out of the car, Jasper did a quick look around to make sure there were no copes then we walked to the house Emmett knocked.

The door opened a crack, "C-can I help you." A young boy, about 16-17 asked, I smirked at him.

"Yeah, tell Laurent that the Cullen's are here, we have a little business to discus," he nodded and shut the door. The door opened again a few moments later and Victoria stood there, she was dating James, Laurent's head henchman.

"Come in Edward, boys" she showed us in, she's shuck a skank.

"Edward! My friend!" Laurent sang from behind a desk.

I just glared at him. "Where's my money?" I was not a social call.

"Look Edward, the thing is…I don't have it just yet…you see…James…he hasn't come back yet." Laurent said, looking frightened.

"What do you mean he hasn't come back, that son of a bitch has over $20, 000 of my money? You better pray that my father doesn't here about this, and that my money shows up by the end of the month, or, let's just say bad things will happen. Let's go boys"

Man I was pissed, but I had to calm down before I got home. And my mother hates it when I break things.

We pulled up at my mothers house, Alice was sitting on the porch with a class of ice tea, and watching Bella play with the girls, while Jamie watched them in his little self rocking swing.

For some strange reason seeing Bella playing with my kids and all of them smiling made me happy, and I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face.

I jumped out of the car and walked over to pick Jamie up out of his swing.

"Daddy" he cooed, "Play?" he said, he was just learning to talk and could only say a few words.

"Yeah, come on little man, lets go get them girls." I said and we ran over to where the girls where playing chase. I put Jamie down and he waddled over to Bella, she scooped him up and swung him around.

"Hey there little man!" he giggled and laughed as she played with him.

"Daddy!!!" my girls had seen me and ran full bolt at me, knocking me to the ground.

"Hey there's my babies." I kissed both their checks, and they continued to tackle me.

After about an hour of playing with my kids, and Bella. Esme called us all inside for lunch, after lunch I tock Bella into the other room to hash things out with her.

"So Bella, I take it you would like the job, I mean the kids just love you."

She nodded her. "I would love the job, I already love the kids." She looked over he shoulder where Lilly was playing with Jamie in his walker.

"Well, it would be a live in position. And I would pay you about 3-4,000 a week, if you think that that is enough?" when I said how much I was willing to pay her, I think she just about fell off her seat.

"Edward, I think that maybe too much, at my last job I was only getting about $500 a week." She told me. I frowned, that didn't seem fare, she would have the kids all the time and there was three of them, no I would pay her much more then $500 a week.

"Bella 500 is no where close to enough, and don't worry, you would never have to pay for anything for the kids, and I would supply you with a car and money each day for anything that they could ever want or need. Also, you are not a cleaner; I have one of those, so you do not have to clean anything." I told her, she just nodded.

"Now, Lilly and Jasmine have pre-school on Mondays and Wednesday, but the other days you would have all three, the week ends are yours if you choose to take them off, if you don't I would pay you for the time that you spend with the kids and at the house, is that fare, O, yes, and please just come to me if you ever need any time off and anything like that, don't be afraid." I smiled at her.

"Edward, you are like the best boss ever, and don't worry about your kids, I'll take good care of them." She told me, "When do you want me to start?" she asked.

I smiled at her, I knew I liked her. "Right away if it's possible."

Well what do you think?

If you like it and think that I should up date tell me and you shall receive.

Any ideas are welcome

Love Mariah
