Bella POV
I must be crazy. I really want this job, but should I take it. I was always told that we all had a twin out there in this massive world. Now, after meeting this family, I guess it's true. After listening to Carlisle, I assume that my biological mother had twins and instead of keeping us both, she gave up my twin first. What I don't get is why she didn't give us both as the same time. My mother abandoned me when I was 5 months old. I mean, I think that was heartless, but after so much soul searching, I think that when the woman who gave birth to me found that I was "dumb and deaf", she couldn't deal and left me. Don't cry. It isn't worth it. You aren't worth it. Remember, no one has ever wanted you. No family, no friends, no men.
Carlisle seems to be an extremely caring man as well as Esme. What can I say about Esme. WOW! I wished she had been my mother. She is just caring and sweet. The entire family were so caring. I connected a lot with Alice, but I connected moreso with Jasper. He seemed to be a long lost kin to me. Must have been in our past lives . I kep hearing baby cooing. I wonder who had the child.
Well, I have been thinking about this for a bit now. Let me get to the other room. Let me take this position. I know I can do a lot of good for the kids. Those are who are the most important. I think I will be able to stray away from this family sooner or later. Usually they do anyway….
Carlisle POV
I was anxious. Bella is in the patio out back deciding to take the position or not. I do hope so. I have this feeling that she will become an asset to our school as well as a gem in our lives. Jasper sees her walking and jogs over to her. He has always been a kind man. I see that he signed to her that it was him and to permit him to help her. She stood there in front of us all and signed that she would take the position. We all celebrated. We thanked her, but she had only two conditions. The first condition was easy. She wanted full reign on her classes. She wanted to teach everything she could to the students and we agreed to that condition. The second condition was something that took us all by surprise. She started to sign.
Bella POV
I wanted to have full reign on my classes. I did not want any restricition in my classes. These kids needed to know every thing they could from me. So I had decided that to be one of my conditions. My last condition was going to be the make or break. I mean, I really wanted this position. The Cullen School for Blind and Deaf was world renowned. Several prime ministers had been produced as well as many successful authors, scientists and even actors. But I think I need to think of somethine else here. If I am hired, essentially there would be a person that would be completed floored at how I look and possible cause major emotional damage. I have been through hell and back, not just physically but emotionally. I have the scars to proof both. But Edward, they need to think of him first.
Carlisle POV
I couldn't believe her second condition. We all couldn't. She was selfless. Absolutely and undeniably noble and self-sacrificing. " Carlisle, the second condition is pertinent and must be met. If Edward does not agree that I obtain this position because it would cause him extreme pain and mental anguish, then I will not be taking the position."
Alice POV
WOW. We didn't see this coming. What a selfless act. She would sacrifice her career than see a man,someone she never met or cared for, not to suffer. I know she isn't Marie, but she's definitely like her.
Carlilse POV
I was actually surprised and shocked with Bella's last condition. She is to be commended. She is someone with high morals and noble. She is a very special woman. I agreed and we decided that Saturday would be the perfect day for Edward to meet Bella. Bella agreed but made a point that was surprising too. As she signed, she informed us that if no decision was made by Sunday, she would be going back to London. She couldn't afford being with out job. I could understand that since she had no one else to depend on. Mind you, Esme and I had already talked about it and we wanted to extend Bella an invitation to stay with us until she would be able to find a place on her own.
Once we done, I asked Jasper and Emmett to take Bella back to her hotel. She thanked us all and we reminded her that we were expecting her around 11am. On Saturday. Esme and I needed to speak to Edward to prepare him with this new development. I think that if we would spring her right in front, he would have a heart attack.
A/N Alright – please review.
