First Day: Part 1

Disclaimer: I know that I forgot this on my first chapter, but I do not own any of the characters that come from the twilight saga, that credit belongs to Stephanie Meyer.

AU: I decided to split this into difference parts so that I could post something for you sooner, I hope you like it, and your questions from the first chapter will be answered by the characters soon.

I groaned as I felt something knock the air out of me, and I knew right away what it was. Eddie and Ethan. Sometimes they remind me of Alice.

I got up and gave them each a hug, and then I remembered something that I had said to the woman who starred in my dreams the night before.

"Hey, boys, I have an idea."

"What?"

"Why don't you go wake Bella up?"

"Won't she get mad?"Eddie seemed confused, and for a good reason, I was just hoping that one of them wouldn't bring it up.

"Yeah, like Mommy did?" I knew that it was too much to ask for.

"I promise, she won't get mad, and if she does, she'll have to go through me." I joked around a little bit, trying to reassure them.

"Okay." I seemed as if they said this in unison, and in the same tone; if I wasn't so close to them, I would have probably would have thought that only one person said it.

They started to walk out of the room, headed for Bella's room.

"Oh, and Boys?"

"Yes, Daddy?" Ethan asked

"Just how you wake me up., just a little more gentle."I rubbed my stomach and chest where they had landed, trying to lighten the mood a little. Their faces portrayed shock and terror.

"Come with us?"Eddie asked obviously scared that they would get yelled at by her. I was secretly that they asked me this, and led them to it a little bit too. I got out of bed, and followed their slow, hesitating figures as they walked into the room that held a beautiful, sleeping angel. Ethan turned around to look at me.

"Are you sure that she won't be mad?"

"I'm positive."

They both looked at me like I had grown another head, as Eddie opened the door.

They ran and jumped onto the King-sized bed that had plenty of room with only her small figure lying in it. Screaming her name the whole time.

I notice that she was saying something as they ran onto the bed that was not occupied by the beautiful woman who was mumbling something, I think I heard 'Alice' somewhere in her babbling, and chuckled at it under my breath, remembering that Alice would wake me up like that sometimes.

The boys were smiling at her figure that was starting to sit up in the bed with smiles on their faces. She too had a smile on her face, and I desperately wished that she was their mother. She already showed that she loved them more than their real mother did.

"What? You come and jump on me to wake me up and I don't even get a good morning hug?" she faked a hurt look, and it was made to be able to tell that she was just joking. They just giggled and jumped to give her a hug. By now, I had to have had this goofy grin on my face, and a look of adoration in my eyes. She was just so perfect, it was hard to believe. Wanting to see her with all of my children, I figured I would have her give Elissa her breakfast.

"You know? Elissa should be up by now." she looked at me with shock and want in her eyes, and I motioned for her to lead the way to her room. She jumped out of bed, and I was mesmerized.

She had a beep blue tank top on that clung to her every curve, and matching bottoms that were baggy, and still seemed to bring out her perfect figure. The blue matched the walls, and seemed to make her skin literally glow. I tore my eyes off of her so that she wouldn't see how deeply I liked having her around.

She looked apprehensive about it, so I just nodded my head reassuringly, but then, that beautiful blush crept onto her cheeks, and she looked up at me apologetically.

"I don't think I would be able to get there without getting lost." she admitted

"I still get lost sometimes, and I've lived here for five years." I admitted back to her, "We moved out of my flat once Tanya got pregnant with Ethan for more room, and she had always wanted a big house. I had the money for it, and I wanted the boys to have their mother around as much as possible; I figured that this was the best way to do that. Personally, I hate having a big house, and I have things stashed allover the place to help me get out of wherever I am at the times when I am lost."

"Tanya. Their mother?"Neither of us had referred to her as my wife, and I liked that she had noticed that I didn't care to refer to her as that.

"Yes" I placed my hand over her lower back to guide her to my daughter's room, and I didn't miss the electric current that coursed through me at the contact.

"Ah, you know, I think that you will have to show me those things that you have stashed around your palace, or with my luck, I'll turn up missing for about a month before I find my way out, or some body else comes to save me from my unavoidable doom."

"Palace?"

"Yes, palace. You wouldn't really refer to this place as a house would you?"she asked me with disbelief saturating her words, and I was unable to hide the laugh after her words.

"What's so funny?" she seemed a little hurt by this, so I abruptly stopped, feeling the hurt that washed over me from seeing her like that, and tried to explain.

"It's just that you are the first person to actually refer to it as a palace, and I just saw that that is exactly what I would refer to this maze as." this earned me a little giggle, and I was mesmerized once again this morning, but this time it was because of the beautiful sound that was coming from tis angel standing in front of me. That's when we arrived at Elissa's door that was opened just as it was every night so that I could hear her on the rare occasions when she cries at night.

Sure enough, she was awake, and looking up at the top of the canopy to her crib, at the little, shiny shapes that Alice had sewn to it, and her bottle was setting on her changing table, already warm, just like every other morning. I lent up against the door jamb, and just watched the woman treat my daughter as her own, and me wishing that this was true. She changed her diaper, and then walked over to me with the little angle in her arms, and adjusted her so that she was in one of her arms. Then she grabbed my wrist and tugged at it telling me to follow her, and I did so. I would do anything that she asked me to do. Anything. She led me to the rocking chair that I was so happy that Alice had enough heart to get it in all white, not pink, and shoved me a little so that I would sit down. Then, she started to place Elissa into my arms. As soon as I realized what she was doing, I tried to stop her.

"No, you feed her."Okay, so I lied, I would do anything that she asked me to do upon reason.

"She's your daughter, don't you want to feed her?"

"Don't do that to me. You know that I love the people in this house more than any thing in the world." This was true, everyone besides Bella, Eddie, Ethan and Elissa were in the house right now. I do love Bella, and even if she doesn't, that wont change the fact that I love her. She is the woman that I would like to spend the rest of my life with, and I would just have to make her love me back.

"Take your daughter,Edward Cullen." she shoved her towards me again, but not aggressive at all; nothing like the way Tanya would say that. She was joking, and not even disclaiming her as her daughter, because she isn't her daughter, and for that, I am eternally sorry. I have known this woman for all of 12 hours, and I have already determined that I love her and that I wish that she was the mother of my children.

Unfortunately, what I was just thinking about set me off long enough for her to set Elissa in one of my arms, and then place the bottle in the other.

"There, that wasn't so hard, now was it?"

I just gave her a glare that probably just turned out as a look of confusion.

"Okay. Now, I was wondering, before I plan any thing for us to do today, is there anything that you would prefer that they didn't do?"

"No, they are free to do anything; they know whether I would approve or not, and if they have their doubts, just call and ask. I'll leave my cell number with you."

"Won't you be in a meeting with your lawyer?"

"Yes, but he should be used to it by now; Tanya seemed to feel the need to call me every time I went to see him, which was mostly when she got a DUI or something like that. She seemed to get in a lot of trouble with the police. She has even had to spend some nights in jail before she was able to be bailed out. I would probably be a million dollars richer, had she never gotten arrested or ticketed."

"Oh."

"Yeah, so don't worry. You will also have a reasonably excuse; something that she did not have."

"Oh? And how do you come to that conclusion?"

"Simple, anything can be better than calling from a house that you live in, and have people who tend to your every need, that was actually one of the many things that she insisted on, to ask where the water is."

"She seriously did that?"

"Yes, a few times actually."this earned a little giggle out of her, but I could tell that she was trying to hide it. Desperate for more of that beautiful sound, I started to laugh just loud enough to hear me, but soft enough that it wouldn't hide the laugh that I now craved to hear.

I stood up with Elissa in one arm, and her bottle held up to her mouth with the other.

"Sit."

"No."she said stubbornly. I just stepped closer to her, until Elissa was being pressed gently to both of our bodies, and I have never wished that she was not where she was, but now, I did – desperately.

"Sit." I repeated

She made no move towards the empty chair that was right behind her.

"Okay have it your way. You can stand." I held Elissa out to her, and like I knew she would, she stepped back in protest. Tanya would do the same thing, the only differences are that I love this woman and that she loves the baby that I am holding out to her, and it I can tell that it is truly hard for her to say no; just as it was for me. When she stepped back, her legs gave way, and she was plopped onto the cushioned rocking chair. She pouted once she realized what had happened, and I found it very hard to ignore those beautiful lips, the bottom jutted out in such an inviting way. Just one little kiss wouldn't hurt anybody would it? Then the reasonable Edward decided to show up just then. Yes, it would. She would think that you are some crazy man. of course, the reasonable Edward convinced me; I wanted for her to like me, and then soon,love me half of the mount that I loved her, not scare her away. Her lips still didn't leave my mind, nor did the thoughts of how her soft, warm lips would taste.

"Take my daughter, Miss. Swan."Her pout grew when I slipped Elissa into her arms and waited for her to adjust her so that she could take to bottle that I still had held up to her mouth. She still had that alluring pout when she finally took the bottle .

"There, that wasn't so hard, now was it?" Her pout grew even more once she realized that I was copying her words that she said to me, and I soon decided that if I don't get out of this room soon, I wouldn't be able to control myself any longer.

"I, uh... have to go take a shower. I'll come back here to take you and Elissa down to breakfast when I'm done."

I turned around to leave, and then, I took the fastest shower I had ever taken in my life, eager to see Bella again.

I was defiantly in over my head (Ha, ha. Cleche)

BPOV

"BEEEEEELLLLLLLLAAAAAAAA!"

"Ugh, Alice, it's too early" I groaned, but then I realized that I wasn't at home, and Alice wasn't waking me up from the dreams of me being a part of this wonderful family. I slowly sat up realizing that it was Eddie and Ethan who were the ones who woke me up from that beautiful dream, and I wasn't disappointed at all I wouldn't mind if I was woken up like this every morning. The only thing that changed from the dream that I had just had was that Edward was standing in the doorway, and not lying next to me.

"What? You come and jump on me to wake me up and I don't even get a good morning hug?" I asked, pretending that I was hurt by that fact, and really over dramatizing it so that I could be sure that they knew that I was only joking. Something told me that they weren't allowed to wake up their 'mother', especially like this. I, however, loved it. They both looked surprised, and then delighted, and jumped into my awaiting arms. I held them tightly, showing them how much I cared after just meeting them.

"You know? Elissa should be up by now." a voice that sounded like velvet spoke up, and just from the sound of his voice, my heart went into overdrive. I looked at him questioning whether or not he actually wanted me to do this.

He stepped to the side, motioning me to lead the way. I literally jump out of bed, and then, I could feel the heat rising to my face when I saw that he was looking at me in my p-jammies. He looked away, and he must have seen me hesitate a little because he nodded his head trying to reassure me that he wanted for me to do this.

"I don't think I would be able to get there without getting lost." I admitted sheepishly

"I still get lost sometimes, and I've lived here for five years." he admitted, sincerity ring throughout his voice, "We moved out of my flat once Tanya got pregnant with Ethan for more room, and she had always wanted a big house. I had the money for it, and I wanted the boys to have their mother around as much as possible; I figured that this was the best way to do that. Personally, I hate having a big house, and I have things stashed allover the place to help me get out of wherever I am at the times when I am lost."

"Tanya. Their mother?" I had realized that he had always referred to that woman as 'Their mother', and never his wife, I guess it could be that she was never much of one. I hated that this woman could do this to her family. I would give anything to be able to call this little family my own, but I knew that that would never be able to happen; Edward is my boss, and he wouldn't have feelings for me anyways. He is rich with both money and three wonderful children who love him, and I am just a girl who was talked into helping to take care of the afore mentioned children. I don't wish that I didn't accept this job, I just wish that Edward wasn't my boss, and I could show him how much I cared for him.

"Yes" He placed his hand on my lower back to lead me to Elissa's room, and a charge of electricity shot through my whole body at his light touch.

"Ah, you know, I think that you will have to show me those things that you have stashed around your palace, or with my luck, I'll turn up missing for about a month before I find my way out, or some body else comes to save me from my unavoidable doom." I tried to lighted the mood a little, and it seemed to work because that breathtaking, crooked smile appeared on his lips, I wonder what those lips would taste like. I started, but reasonable Bella reared her ugly head in just then. No! He's your boss, you can't be thinking like that! Stupid sensible Bella. Always has to ruin things.

"Palace?" he asked, sounding intrigued.

"Yes, palace. You wouldn't really refer to this place as a house would you?"I asked him purposely saturating my words with disbelief, and then he started laughing.

"What's so funny?" I knew that I sounded little hurt, and he stopped right then, almost looking hurt himself. I immediately felt real hurt run through my veins at seeing the pain in his eyes.

"It's just that you are the first person to actually refer to it as a palace, and I just saw that that is exactly what I would refer to this maze as." he tried to explain himself. I giggled at his desperate-looking face, and his smile returned, and I looked a little bit wider than before.

We stopped then, arriving at the door that was opened, and sure enough, Elissa was awake and staring at the top of her canopy. I lifted her into my arms, and took her over to her changing table. Once her diaper was changed, I lifted the bottle that was setting there, and decided that her daddy should feed his daughter, so I walked up to him, adjusted Elissa so that she was cradled in only one of my arms, and then grabbed his wrist, and drug him over to the white rocking chair, and gave him a little push so that he would sit down in the chair. I then leaned over to place Elissa into her father's arms, but, to my surprise, he stopped me.

"No, you feed her." This surprised me even more, so I decided to try the guilt trip.

"She's your daughter, don't you want to feed her?"

"Don't do that to me. You know that I love the people in this house more than any thing in the world." I was surprised that he had said that, especially with not possibly being able to be truthful with me standing there, so I figured that I it was just a mistake.

"Take your daughter,Edward Cullen." this time, I decided to use force, so I shoved her into his arms, still being careful as not to hurt her. He, at the time, looked a little bit lost in thought, so I succeeded in placing her and her bottle into his hands.

"There, that wasn't so hard, now was it?" I think that he was trying to glare at me, but couldn't, just as I couldn't yesterday, but I assumed that his reasoning was because I spent four hours just singing to the angel that was pushed into his arms, but he started feeding her, nonetheless, and I tried hard to hide the smug grin that was trying to rip it's way through to my face.

"Okay. Now, I was wondering, before I plan any thing for us to do today, is there anything that you would prefer that they didn't do?" I needed to Know this, but I also needed to have a reason to remind me that this was not my family, and that I was employed by Edward.

"No, they are free to do anything; they know whether I would approve or not, and if they have their doubts, just call and ask. I'll leave my cell number with you."

"Won't you be in a meeting with your lawyer?"

"Yes, but he should be used to it by now; Tanya seemed to feel the need to call me every time I went to see him, which was mostly when she got a DUI or something like that. She seemed to get in a lot of trouble with the police. She has even had to spend some nights in jail before she was able to be bailed out. I would probably be a million dollars richer, had she never gotten arrested or ticketed."

"Oh." I honestly didn't know what to say to this, so I came up with this brilliant answer

"Yeah, so don't worry. You will also have a reasonably excuse; something that she did not have."

"Oh? And how do you come to that conclusion?"

"Simple, anything can be better than calling from a house that you live in, and have people who tend to your every need, that was actually one of the many things that she insisted on, to ask where the water is."

"She seriously did that?" I thought that this woman must be stupid for not wanting her own children, but I never thought that she was an idiot. I also would have never guessed that she was like that, considering Edward, Eddie, and Ethan.

"Yes, a few times actually." We both laughed at that, I tried to hide the fact that I was laughing at that, but I didn't as soon as he started laughing too.

We were still laughing, but not as much as before, when he stood from the rocking chair. He stepped aside.

"Sit." he commanded, but I instinctively went into stubborn mode

"No." he just stepped closer. The only thing that was in between us was Elissa., I could feel her gentle, carefree rise and fall of her chest against mine.

"Sit." he commanded again.

"Okay, have it your way." he stretched his arms out slightly, and I stepped back in protest, only to fall into the soft cushioning of the white rocking chair. I pouted at my loosing the mini battle. He seemed to be having a internal battle of his own, but soon came to a conclusion.

"Take my daughter Miss. Swan." I pouted a little more at him using my words against me, and he just placed her into my arms, his hand still on the bottle, waiting for me to adjust her to take it on my own. I debated with not taking the bottle at all, but decided against it quickly when I felt his breath on mine.

I took the bottle, and he stood up.

"There, that wasn't so hard, now was it?"

"I, uh... have to go take a shower. I'll come back here to take you and Elissa down to breakfast when I'm done."

before I could say anything to him, he practically ran out of the room; I have only known him for a about a day, but I didn't think that he was one to get flustered easily; it seemed like he could keep his aggravation down easily.

I just held Elissa close to my chest, and my thoughts immediately went to Edward. One thing I knew was certain: I was in way too deep now.

Soon, Edward came back into the room. His hair was wet, and looked like he had brushed it, and then just shook his head, disheveling it again. It looked right for him, then again any thing looked right on him; he was gorgeous.

He was wearing black slack and a white button-up shirt tucked into them with the top four or five buttons undone, showing off his perfectly sculpted chest. It looked like he had started to get dressed, but when he was almost done, just stopped, he even had his tie hanging around his neck, undone.

"If you want, you can pick something out for her to wear. All of her clothes are in the closet, and then she has some socks, onesies, and tights in the pink dresser, and all of her shoes are in the Armour." he laed her down in her bassinet, and them looked at me.

I could feel my eyes get wide.

"It is Alice. We also had a baby shower- once again,Alice-but we got about a one-twentieth of what Alice bought her from that. Her closet is about as big as this room-if not bigger."

"Okay, and I'm gonna guess that Alice got her all dresses- other than the onesies, that I'm also going to guess are to go under the dresses."

"Wow, you know Alice all too well, but I picked up a few pairs of pants, and some colored onesies, and when I feel that it is completely safe, I'll give her a break from the dresses. Other than that, all she has is dresses, and sleepers."

"I should have known."

"Yes, well, do you want to, or would you prefer that I do it."

"No, I will.- Alice is supposed to come over today, right?"

"Yes, and to be safe, I would pick a dress, because I have no idea when to expect her, and I for one don't want to be around when she sees her in any thing but something that she got her, or approved of."

"Okay, a dress it is." I grumbled.

"I'll go get the boys ready, and then come back to take you to your room, and then, once you call me, to the kitchen."

"Call you?"

"Yes, call me." he handed me a cell phone that looked too new and expensive for me to be able to hold, let alone use, with out breaking it.

"What's that?" I asked him, not hiding the fear very well in my voice or face, and this made him chuckle a little.

"Its a cell phone."

"I realize that, but why are yo giving it to me?"

"Well, you are, I'll assume from what you asked earlier, wishing to take the children out sometimes, correct?"

"Yes..."

"Then, I would feel better if I know that if something happens, you can call me, or someone else that can help."

"Okay, then why didn't you just have me go get a cell on my own, instead of getting one for me, I could have gotten one on my own. You've already spent too much money on me." I was rambling.

"Well, I didn't have one either, and when I got one, it was cheaper to just get two, and also, the plan that I then got for the two cell phones made the deal even better." he seemed a little smug by his answer.

"Fine." I grabbed the phone out of his hands, and looking at the front of it. It was an LG Shine.

"I got you the silver one, but if you want black, I have no problem with that."

"No, the silver is perfect."

"Alice and my numbers are already on there. It has unlimited texting; since that's pretty much the only way that Alice will talk on the phone, and don't worry about how many minutes you use. Also, you won't be paying for anything that has to do with that; including the ring tones that Alice will undoubtedly force you to put on it whether you like it or not."

"But-" I wined, and I knew that I sounded about two years old.

"No! You will take the phone, spend as much money as you possibly can on it, and will not complain about it!"

"Fine."I grumbled.

Then we looked at each other, and burst up laughing.

"You looked like Ethan when he was told that he wasn't old enough to have and i pod yet." My answer to that was to stick my tongue out at him, showing him just how mature I was.

I then went into the closet, and stopped dead I my tracks. He was right her closet was huge. It also looked like there wasn't enough room for all of the clothes that was in there.

I stepped out of the closet.

"Help me?" I squeaked

"I tried to warn you." he started to walk into the closet.

"Okay, its not supposed to be too bad today; no rain, and about 80, so how about... this with a pair of tights?" He held up a warm-looking pink dress that had a maroon ribbon wrapped around the middle, and about ¾ of the way to the left, there was a little bow.

"Perfect."

I turned a little corner in the closet, and came face-to-face with a pink 'dresser'. I don't think that it was a dresser, but about four. I swallowed hard, now very worried to see my closet;knowing Alice, she would have taken full advantage of being able to get me clothes. The drawer closest to me looked safe enough, so I opened it, hoping to find everything that I needed in this one drawer, but had no such luck. The only things that were in there were tights, and there couldn't be just white tights, no there had to be about 20 different shades of pink here. I was grumbling under my breath - even I didn't understand what I was saying – and stomping over to Edward and tore the little dress from his hand, then stormed off back to the dresser.

I held the dress over the drawer of tights, trying to find a pair that went with the dress. None of these looked right, so I opened the next drawer, only to find more shades of pink that didn't match. Then I had an idea: I went to look in the bottom right drawer; knowing Alice, she would make what ever she wanted the easiest to get to, and then, invariably what she didn't care for at a less convenient area.

This was my favorite drawer. It held everything that I needed at the time: white onesies,white tights, and white socks. Though the socks weren't completely white, I was over joyed that there was actually plain white things in here.

"Yes!" it was pretty loud, but not loud enough to disturb Elissa, though I was beginning to think that nothing could disturb that baby.

My cheeks turned crimson when I heard a low, amused chuckle behind me.

"I'm now defiantly glad that I let you find that drawer on your own. If I didn't, I would have missed the pleasure of seeing your eyes light up with victory."

"It's Alice, I was halfway expecting the only drawer with reasonable clothes in it to be pad locked five times with Alice having all of the keys hanging from her neck at all times."

"You know?...I can see her doing that...Lets not give her any ideas, okay?"

"No problem here, I actually think that I will have to go get some reasonable clothes for myself soon."

"Why?" he seemed genuinely confused by this.

"Because I have a feeling that the only thing that is in that closet of mine is dresses that show a little too much skin than my body should show." my eyes widened once I realized what I had just said.

"I don't think I understand."

"Never mind." I was eager to get the topic off of the one that we were on at this moment.

"Not going to work. Now what so you mean 'much more skin than your body should show?'"

"Nothing, never mind."

"Bella, tell me. I am very stubborn, and not knowing the meaning behind someone's words is just too frustrating, and I will get the answer out of you one way or another, so it would just be easier on the both of us if you just tell me now."

"No, because you'll be just like Alice, and tell me that I am wrong to make me feel better, but the truth is that it only makes me feel worse knowing that someone that I care about would lie to me." only then did I realize what I had just said out loud at the end of my ramble; I had told him that I cared about him.

"Will you tell me if I promise on my children's lives to tell the truth?" his eyes were pleading, and I could tell that he was being sincere, though I couldn't imagine a world where a father who shows so much love for his children would joke about betting their lives with this.

"No."

"I'll give you anything that you want if you can prove that I lie about this. Anything." A million different things flashed through my mind as to what I could ask for should he lie.

"Its...embarrassing to say, let alone unnecessary."

"I promise: nothing but honesty."

"Well,... I'm...not exactly...pretty." I bowed my head, embarrassed; expecting to hear something like 'duh'; something that would break my heart hearing from him.

But what happened was far from expected. It was the last thing that I was expecting.

He started laughing. Hysterically. I just stood there in shock, confused as to how this man could be laughing at me after what I had just told him.

"That is the stupidest thing that I have ever heard; you are the most beautiful woman that I have ever laid eyes on in my entire life." he stared directly into my eyes, and I could see nothing but honesty, and I could tell that he wasn't lying to me, so I just stood there shocked. That was until I saw his face turn a slight pink, and he bowed his head in embarrassment this time, but it was my turn not too long after. I had just realized what he had just said.

I was then suddenly aware of his proximity more than ever. When he had sobered up enough to tell me what he just had, he had walked forward so that I could see into his eyes better; we were only inches away from each other, and then our eyes met. Uh oh, not a bright idea; I no longer remembered where I was; it was only he and I at that moment.

His eyes drifted down a little, and I liked my lips to try to calm my nerves. He leaned in a little closer, and now we were only centimeters apart, and I could feel his warm breath on my lips, and I licked my lips once more; trying to taste his sweet-smelling breath. It tasted as sweet as it smelled, and then all reason went down the drain.

I leaned in until our lips brushed one another's, and then that must have been more than he cold take, because his lips then crashed down onto mine. He took my bottom lip into his mouth, and sucked it greedily, but gentle. We stayed like this for a little, our lips moving with each other's, until we had to break for air, and even then, he just trailed kisses down my jaw and neck, and when we had both caught our breath enough, our lips crashed together again, but this time, he ran his tongue along my lip asking permission to enter my mouth, and I gladly obliged. Opening my mouth, and letting out tongues dance with one another. My arms wrapped around his neck, and his were around my waist, pulling each other closer.

I'm not sure how long we were like this, but when we did end, it was not what either of us wanted to do, or either of our decisions.

"I KNEW IT!!" Alice decided to show up early, how sweet of her. The shock of being caught broke us apart, and I felt the familiar blush creep up to my face, and I stepped away from Edward who looked very disappointed about that, and I immediately felt cold and alone without him holding me.

"I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!" she was bouncing non-stop, and I decided that I would play along with her little game.

"You knew what, Alice?"

"You two!" this time I decided to make her mad, it may be a little fun.

"What about us?"

"What about you?" yes, it was working, she was getting mad.

"That's what I asked, is it not?"

"Yes, that's what you asked, but how can you not know what I am talking about? I just stood here and watched you two make out for about a half an hour, and you want to know what I was talking about?" she was mad, I have accomplished my goal., and I would have laughed, had it not been for the look that Edward had after she said that.

"Half-an-hour?!" he asked incredulously.

"Yes, half-an-hour, as in thirty minutes." she was acting like she was talking to a five year-old.

"Crap, I have to go, I'm going to be late." he went to button his shirt while rushing to get out of the room.

"What, no kiss goodbye?" this, of course, was Alice.

"Why would I want to give you a kiss goodbye?" I could tell that he had picked up on what I was doing to her, and went ahead and joined in.

"First of all: Ew. And second of all: I meant Bella!"

"I know you meant Bella, but if I give her a kiss goodbye, I wouldn't be doing so because I would not be leaving."

"Oh." her mouth formed a surprised o shape. "Okay then, good bye!" she added cheerfully.

"Bye." and then he was gone, going to finish the divorce.

"I knew it, I knew it , I knew it, I knew it" she showed no signs of stopping any time soon, so I let her continue on while I started to dress Elissa for the day.

She was still going on when I had Elissa dressed, so I turned to her, she didn't even look like she was out of breath like any normal person would be.

"Alice, I'm hungry, can you take me downstairs please? I still have no clue how to even get to my room."

she stopped to look over me, and only then did I realize that I was still in my tank top and pajammie pants.

"Okay, but instead, I'll make you and the boys' breakfasts while you take a shower, and before I do that, I'll pick out some clothes for you to wear today."

"Aliiiiiiice." I sounded like I was two and didn't get a toy that I wanted, but she just ignored me, and started on something else.

"I asume that you want to take the children somewhere since it's so nice out today."

"Yes, I was thinking about a park or something."

"Okay, we'll go and get the boys ready, and in their play clothes on our way to your room."

"Sounds great, and please, please, please, please,pleeeeeeeease let me wear jeans."

"But Bellaaaa."

"Pleeeeease."

"Fine" she pouted.

"Thank you , thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" we were at Eddie's room, and she knocked on it softly, and pointed to Ethan's room, silently telling me to tell him what we were doing today.

"Why are we going to the park?" he asked, curious.

"Well, I thought that we could go out and have a little fun together, and then have a picnic. We will be spending a lot of time together, so we should get to know each other."

"You mean, your staying, and you want to spend time with us?" he was obviously surprised by this.

"Yes, I know that I just met you guys yesterday, but now, I can't imagine my life without all of you in it."

"Bella, d-d...do ...you...l-love us?" he sounded like he was scared to ask me this, and I didn't have to think about it for a second. I smiled, and answered honestly.

"Yes." he smiled at this, and flinched forward, but then pulled back. It looked like he had wanted to give me a hug, so I just held my arms out, leaving the choice completely up to him. He smiled widely, and threw himself into my arms, and soon, I started to feel him shake, and it felt like he was crying; I just held him tighter to me.
