Hey guys, so I'm back with another story. I know a lot of you are mad at how I ended the last story but I'm not ready to go back to it yet. However, I'm almost 100% sure I will at some point.

"You have four new messages and two saved messages," I pinched the bridge of my nose preparing myself for the first message. "First message, Mr. Cullen this is Jess, your nanny, you said that you would be home over two hours ago. Please call me as soon as you can." Of course Jessica would call me to let me know how late I am, not like I don't realize that already. "Second message, almost three hours, I do have other things I need to be doing." I sped up, making my Volvo go well past the speed limit. "Third message, hey brother I just got a call from your lovely nanny," her voice was dripping with sarcasm, "she said she had to leave but don't worry I came over before she left. See you when you get home." That bitch, not my sister but Jessica. How in the world could she just leave? Does she not care about her job at all? "Fourth message, I quite." Apparently, that answers that question.

Ten minutes later I was finally pulling into my garage. It had been one of the longest days ever and it wasn't even done with yet. As soon as I stepped out of the car a massive body of fur came running at me. "Hey there Seth," the seven month old St. Bernard proceeded to jump up to lick my face. "Did ya miss me boy," I rubbed his head before pushing him off me. I was now covered in slobber but at least he helped my mood. "Come on boy let's go inside."

Seth followed me inside, running ahead of me towards the kitchen were voices were coming from.

"Hey there Seth, who's a good little puppy? You are aren't you," I walked into the kitchen seeing my sister feeding Seth some pizza.

"Alice, you know you're not supposed to feed the dog human food," I rolled my eyes at her.

"Chill Eddie one little bite isn't going to hurt him."

"Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!"

Ahh now there is the reason for me living. My healthy, handsome son. Even though today was one of the worst days, he makes it all worth it.

"Come here J-Man," I squatted down as he ran into my arms. I pulled him close, standing up and spinning around getting him to laugh. His laughter could instantly brighten my day. I kissed him on the forehead then set him back down on the ground. He ran back to the table sitting next to Alice.

"What is Auntie Alice feeding you tonight Jake," I sat down next to him.

"Pizza, yummy," he took a huge bite, which got pizza sauce all over his face.

"Very healthy Ali," I snatched a piece from the take out box.

"Yeah well it was a little last minute don't you think," she raised her eyebrow at me over Jake's head.

"Yes it was, sorry we will talk about that later," I didn't want to think about it right now. I especially didn't want to talk about it in front of Jake.

Jake chatted with us through the rest of the meal, although most of the time he didn't make too much sense. Once we were done it was bath time for Jake, which was one of his least favorite things. It was always a struggle to get him in the bath and clean without getting water all over the bathroom and myself. Finally, once he was clean and dry it was bedtime.

"Daddy, read," he pointed to his bookshelf.

"Alright J-Man what do you want to hear tonight," he ran over to his bookshelf quickly picked one out then jumped on the bed.

"Dis one," he put the book in my lap. I chuckle at the book, Harry the Dirty Puppy, I should have known. Jake loved dogs; it was because of him we had Seth.

"Harry was a white dog with black spots who liked everything…" Jake was asleep not long after I started. "Goodnight Jake, I love you," I kissed his forehead before leaving the room.

"You ready to have that talk now," Alice sat on a bar stool next to the kitchen island.

"Might as well get it over with," I ran a hand through my hair.

"Edward, you're my little brother and I love you but you can't keep going through nannies the way you are. Jessica was the fifth one in the last six months. What you need to do is get a live-in nanny. That way they understand what they are signing up for," I opened my mouth to correct her. "And yes I know that you tell them from the beginning that with you being a doctor they should know that they might have to stay longer or have crazy hours but that doesn't seem to be working, now does it?"

"Ugh, you just love being right, don't you," I narrowed my eyes at her as she grins.

"Yep," she popped the "p". "I know you are really busy with the hospital Edward but you need to take some time to find the right nanny for Jake. He really needs it Edward," she gave me a sad smile.

"I know he does Ali, and now that I'm off for the next two days that is the first thing I'm going to do."

"Good," she gave me a quick hug. "Alright well I'm off; this girl needs her beauty rest."

"All the rest in the world isn't going to help you sis," I teased earning a smack on the arm. "Ouch."

"Good I'm happy it hurt," and with that she was gone.

I grabbed a beer from the refrigerator then made my way down the hall to my favorite room in the house. My piano room, which is my little safe haven for when the world becomes too much, I ran my fingers over the keys as I sat down on the bench. I closed my eyes and began to play, letting the music take over me. Soon I was completely relaxed and calm. After about forty minutes, I knew it was time for me to face reality.

"Just get it over with," I mumbled to myself walking upstairs to my office. I checked to make sure Jake was still asleep before going into the office. "Alright time to find a live-in nanny."

I knew it was for the best, for Jake to have someone solid in his life but the thought of someone moving into our home and life scared me. With all the creepy, scary people out there, one can never be too careful especially when it comes to their children. I searched for a while, finding three companies that looked legitimate. I emailed them my information letting them know that I was in dire need for a live-in nanny as soon as possible. Hopefully I would be able to find one in the next two days or else I was going to have to ask my family for more help. I know they all love Jake and don't mind helping but I feel bad constantly going to them. I'm a twenty-seven year-old man, with a three year-old son I should be able to handle my own shit without going to my Mommy and Daddy.

I knew it was time to go to bed once my head started to sway to the side and it took work to keep my eyes open. Sleep came instantly as my head hit the pillow.

"Daddy, up," something was bouncing my bed up and down interrupting my sleep. "Daddy, up," Jake's voice yelled louder. I pretended to be asleep waiting for the perfect time to attack. "Daddy…" I sat up quickly scooping Jake into my arms tickling his sides.

"Is this what you wanted J-Man," his little arms were hitting my chest as he laughed hard.

"Daddy stop," he got out in-between giggles.

I gave him one last tickle before letting him fall to the bed, causing him to laugh some more. Just then Seth made his presence known by jumping on the end of the bed and licking my face.

"Alright everyone off the bed, let's go have some breakfast," Seth barked happily and Jake scrambled to get off the bed and downstairs first.

After Jake and I eat a quick breakfast, Jake wanted to play in his playroom. It was the perfect time for me to check to see if any of the nanny agencies got back to me. Luckily all three of them had sent me emails. All of them let me know that they had a few nannies that might work for me and they were faxing their résumés to me. I grabbed the résumés and headed down to the kitchen to make some coffee, with the number of résumés I was sent it might take me a while to sort through them.

Two hours later, I was still reading over the résumés. Many of them were excellent but belonged to woman over sixty years-old. Now I don't want to discriminate on age and I'm sure they are wonderful nannies, I just never thought of someone older then my own parents as a nanny for Jake. I just didn't feel right about being the boss of someone so much older than me. One résumés caught my eye but I couldn't figure out why. The woman had only worked for one family before and it wasn't a live-in situation. Other than that, there wasn't anything out of the norm but there was still something about it that made me put it in the call back pile. About a half an hour later, I was down to only six nannies in the call back pile. It was a good amount to interview.

I made my way across the hall to Jake's playroom, stretching my arms above my head on the way. Jake was playing with his cars in the middle of the room while Seth watched from his bed in the corner.

"Daddy play," Jake held up his car as I walked in.

"I would love to," I took the car from him running it on the floor making "vroom" noises.

Playing with Jake was always so much fun, the way he would get excited about things always made me smile. Sometimes I wish I got excited about things the way he did. My son was so full of life and energy; I knew he deserved someone to watch him that was the same way. I made us a small lunch then put in Cars for Jake to watch while I called the agencies. Of the six nannies that I had in my call back pile only four of them were able to come in to interview tomorrow. I just hope that one of them is a good fit for both Jake's life and mine.

The rest of the day was spent playing with Jake, I wanted to get as much play time in as I could because I always missed it while at work. The weather was warm and sunny out, an unusual combination for Washington, so we got to play outside. I'm not sure who had more fun, Jake or Seth. Jake would throw a tennis ball to Seth and although it wouldn't go far Seth never barked or got impatient with Jake. They truly were best friends and it was a pleasure to watch them play.

Later that night when Jake asked if he could sleep in my room I couldn't turn him down. So we settled into bed with Cars, his favorite movie of the week, playing on the TV.

I woke up to giggle sounds coming from the tiny body beside me.

"Daddy loud," then I heard Jake pretend to snore.

"Daddy is not loud," I tickled Jake's sides.

"Daddy loud. Daddy loud," he yelled between laughs.

I got him to quite down after I agreed that I was a loud. "Let's go get some breakfast J-Man," he nodded up and down while jumping on the bed. "How dose waffles sound to you buddy," as soon as the words came out of my mouth Jake threw his body at mine.

"Yay," he cheered right in my ear.

I'm not the best cook in the world but I did know how to make some pretty great waffles and my boy loved to eat them. While I mixed the batter, I tried my best to explain what was going to happen today.

"Hey buddy," I looked up from the bowl to Jake, "some ladies are going to come to the house today," wow that sounded bad in my mind. Jake tilted his head to the side and scrunched his eyebrows together. "They're going to come here to met and play with you for a while and talk to Daddy. If one of them is really nice and both you and Daddy like her then she might move in here so she can play with you when Daddy can't be home," he seemed to like the idea of someone playing with him all the time but I'm not sure if he really understood it. "So after you're done with your waffle," I sat the plate in front of him, "we need to get you in the bath," he pouted; something he picked up from his Aunt. "You don't want to smell bad for your new friend do you," he let out a frustrated sigh but shook his head no.

So that is what we did once I cleaned up breakfast. Like always, Jake hated it, splashing water all over the floor, walls, and myself. I was more than happy once it was done with. I got him dressed in jeans and his Lightning McQueen t-shirt before putting in the movie for him to watch while I quickly took a shower and changed into jeans and a dark green button-up shirt, rolling the sleeves up to my elbows. I checked the time, noticing the first nanny would be here in less than thirty minutes. I played with Jake in his play room for a while before moving across the hall to make sure my office was clean enough for someone to come in. I had just finished straightening up when I heard the doorbell. I took a deep breath before heading to the door and starting the interviews.

Three hours later and I was ready to rip my hair out. None of them were right…none of them. The first one was way too strict, even yelling at Jake in front of me when he pushed his toy car into the wall. Honestly, I didn't see what the big deal was, he was a little rough with the toys but he had never broken anything. Needless to say she wasn't a keeper. The next nanny was more interested in talking to me than spending any time with my son. She was more than happy to leave the play room and I was more than happy to show her the door. The third wasn't as bad as the first two but Jake and Seth didn't seem to like her. As soon as she walked in Seth started to growl at her, he never growled at anyone. And Jake kept moving away from her every time she would get close to him. I knew right then that she wasn't the one for us. There was one more left and as much as I wanted to find a nanny, today things weren't looking so great.

"Is there more," Jake whined as I watched him color.

"One more buddy, then it will be done with," he gave me a big pout. "Sorry J-Man, I promise we'll be done with this soon," I finished just as the doorbell sounded.

"Please, please be the one for us," I chanted to myself walking to the front door. I opened the door and the woman on the other side took my breath away.

"Mr. Cullen," she looked up at me and all I could do was nod my head yes. "Hi, I'm Bella Swan the agency sent me."


Again please let me know if you want more, thanks.
