I'm pretty excited about this new story.

I hope you all enjoy.

Chapter 1

Bella's POV

"Alice, I don't have time to ask everyone in the neighborhood to take your survey." I complained.

"Bella. the library is not something you have to do. I'm begging you please." She clasped her hands together in front of her.

"Fine, but you owe me." I was then squeezed by her tiny arms in a hug.

Alice left to go do, whatever it is that Alice does, while I went upstairs to get dressed. I settled on jeans, a plain blue shirt, and my favorite pair of Converse. After grabbing Alice's survey and the keys to my truck, I was off to bug people on a Saturday morning about 'how often they redecorate'.

Alice was an interior designer, while I held a part-time job at Newtons Hiking Gear.

Out of thirteen houses so far only 4 people answered their doors. I could tell it was going to be a long day.

Edward's POV

I was trying to put on both of my shoes and my tie simultaneously to no prevail. It was only ten and I already wanted to go back to bed. I had been called into an emergency meeting down at the office and my nanny quit on me this morning so I had to stick around until the agency sent a new one.

I went into the living room where my children were playing.

"Anthony, I have to run into work today, but I promise that I'll take you to the batting cages when I get back alright bud?" I hated seeing him look so disappointed.

"Sure dad." He shrugged his shoulders.

"The new nanny will be here soon, so please help keep your sister out of trouble until I get home." She could be a handful at times.

"Ok." Our conversations were usually limited like this, with little contribution on his part.

Hayley giggled, smashing Play-Dough between her hands. She dropped it onto the table as I lifted her into the air and caught her on the way down.

"Daddy will be back in a little while so I need you to be good today alright?" I tickled her stomach a couple of times and she squirmed. I stopped and she calmed down a bit.

"Okie-dokie." She smiled.

Just then the doorbell rang.

I walked to the door with my daughter in hand.

When I opened it there was a young brunette waiting.

"Oh thank goodness you're here." I sighed.

Bella's POV

I had only a few more houses to go. I rang the doorbell for what had to have been the fiftieth time today.

A man about my age, holding a little girl, answered the door.

"Oh thank goodness you're here." His words confused me. "Come in." He started walking inside and I took a careful step through the door.

I didn't know that someone could get so excited over paint and furniture, but apparently there were more Alice's in the world than I though.

The man's next action REALLYthrew me for a loop. For some reason I was now holding his daughter.

"Sir I, " I began.

"Instructions are on the kitchen counter, if you have any questions ask Anthony." He

began putting on his coat and grabbing his keys.

"I think you," but again I was interrupted.

"I should be back around five so I'll pick something up for them to eat for dinner. Bye

Anthony," he called into another room, "Bye Hayley," he said as he kissed the girl's

forehead.

"No, I don't," but he had already left.

I stood there for a moment, waiting to see if he would come back to announce that I was

on some hidden camera show, but he didn't.

I looked at the little girl and she smiled back at me.

I then cautiously walked into the next room. There was a little boy who looked to be

about seven or eight playing a video game. He only glanced at me.

I walked closer to get his attention, once I had it my eyes scrunched together and I

sounded unnerving, "Do you mind telling me what's going on here?"
