Chapter 3

Flour tossed in my face pulled me out of my thoughts. I turned and glared at the three year old, who was smiling happily up at me.

"You know, I'm sure the flour is supposed to go in the cookies."

Her response to that was throwing more flour in my face, while giggling.

"Something smells good in here," we heard Charlie say from the door. He walked in to the kitchen, stopping to play with Cissy who was sitting in a bouncy seat on the table.

"Dinner is almost ready."

He glanced from Cissy to me and burst into laughter. "Wow Bells, uh, what happened?"

I grabbed a towel while I glared at my dad. "I got distracted while making cookies with a three year old."

Charlie picked up Anna and smiled at her, before turning to me. "What distracted you?"

I didn't say anything until I had brushed all the flour off my face and put the towel in the laundry room. "Well, I met the resident vampires."

Charlie nodded with understanding. "The Cullen family." So they all went by the last name Cullen.

I leaned against the counter and faced my dad. "They're different than normal vampires."

Charlie raised an eyebrow and gave me a look of disbelief. "Isn't Grandpa Ray a 'vegetarian' vampire?"

I rolled my eyes. 'Vegetarian' vampires are vampires who drink animal blood. A vampire close to my family, named Grandpa Ray, was one. You could tell if a vampire was vegetarian, by the gold coloring of their eyes. "Anna's powers have never been wrong, but it doesn't make sense. They don't give off a sense of danger, like normal vampires. Even Grandpa Ray gives off some sense of danger."

Charlie shrugged. "I don't know what to tell you Bella. This town is lucky to have Dr. Cullen, he's an amazing surgeon, and that's saying something."

Normally I would have wondered about a vampire being a doctor, but instead I asked, "Do the Cullens know that you know what they are?"

Charlie laughed. "I'm extremely careful around them, as far as I know they don't know."

"Alright, next question; why didn't you warn me?"

Charlie gave me an embarrassed look. "I'm sorry, I should have, but I forgot. It's just the Cullens are better than some of the human families around here. I don't get any trouble from them, and they're very respectful. You know sometimes I forget they're vampires."

I shrugged and went back to making cookies.

The second day of school wasn't any better than the first.

My alarm went off at five thirty, and it woke all three of us. It was clear to me that I was going to have to find a different way to wake us up in the morning. Soothing Anna and Cissy took too much time, and clearly we didn't have that amount of time to spare. By the time we had finished our morning routine and were in the car, we were running late. At least we didn't have to go to the office this morning. That would save time.

I pulled into the parking lot and immediately promised to never be late again. The parking lot was almost completely filled; in fact there was only one parking spot left, and it was beside the shiny silver Volvo. I parked, dreading this situation incredibly.

Shaking my head I turned off the car. I didn't have time for this, I would just deal with it, like I was doing with everything else in my life.

I was about to open my door when a little white glove soared passed the right side of my head. I grabbed the glove before turning to Anna. "What's wrong?"

She pointed to her ring finger, giving me a stubborn look. I understood immediately.

From the front pocket of my backpack I took out a crystal ring box. My grandfather had given it, and the ring inside it, to me when I had turned ten years old. That was when my powers had started coming in; just like everyone else in my family. I put on the ring, feeling the weight of my shield come over me. The ring itself would be controlling my powers, that way I wouldn't have to worry about them. I wouldn't have to remember to put my shield up, because the ring would keep it up and around me until I took it off.

My blood would be the biggest problem, the Cullens seemed controlled enough, but I wasn't going to take any chances; not when I had two little girls who needed me.

We just barely made it to class on time. Today was definitely not turning out to be a good day. Halfway through first period, Cissy woke up.

Anna hopped off my lap and I quickly had Cissy in my arms. I gave Mr. Mason an apologetic look as I tried to quiet Cissy. She quieted down after a little while, but when I tried to set her back in her seat she started crying again.

I sighed. She had done so well yesterday. She hadn't given me any trouble, and now it would appear I was stuck with her in my arms. This was not a good arrangement.

I know the note Carlos forged pretending to be Anna's doctor gave me reason to have Anna and Cissy with me at school, but honestly, school wasn't something a three year old and a two month old should be going to. I couldn't get a babysitter though, at least not until I found someone I could trust one hundred percent, and Anna could be comfortable being away from me.

By lunch time I was tired. Cissy was only staying in her carrier long enough for me to carry her to class, but the minute I set it down she would start to cry. The teachers were surprisingly supportive, and I found myself thanking Carlos again and again. The cover story he had given to the news, and his note explaining why I had to have the girls with me, was very helpful.

But even with the teachers' support, the classes themselves were difficult. Even though I was holding Cissy, Anna demanded to be in my lap. I learned in second period to get Anna's books and coloring stuff out before class started, if I was going to be holding both of them.

It was a miracle I was able to get my work done in class. I made the mistake yesterday in English of coloring with Anna, and now she was constantly trying to get me to play her memory game with her. In Spanish, the teacher had been going around the room, listening in to the conversations the pairs were having. She came up to Jessica and me and to my surprise she played around of memory with Anna, who of course got excited.

Now here we were in the lunch line and I was ready for a nap. Angela carried Anna again and grabbed food for both Anna and myself. I was currently trying to calm Cissy who was hungry and tired. Besides filling our tray she was getting her own food. I wasn't sure how we were going to carry everything to the table, when we got to the cash register; but Ben swooped in and took both of the trays. He carried them to the table, so Angela decided to just carry Anna.

I groaned quietly after setting Cissy's carrier down. I hurriedly got her out and started making her bottle.

"You should really get them a baby sitter, you look like something the cat dragged in," Lauren sneered. I couple of people around the table laughed but I chose to ignore them.

Jessica turned to me. "Why haven't you found a sitter yet, shouldn't that be the first thing you look for when you move somewhere new?"

Her condescending attitude angered me. "Well it's not like I had a choice to move here. I lost my mom that night too. Charlie's the only family I had left, once the papers for the girls were signed we were shipped off here, to my dad. I'm a minor after all. I wouldn't have had time to look for any sitter."

"'You wouldn't have had time,' do you mean to say you haven't looked at all." Lauren shook her head and scoffed.

Arguing with Lauren was put on hold by Cissy's bottle. I fed her and fumed to myself, hoping to calm down, but knowing I wouldn't. I watched as Anna suddenly got up and walked around the table she had the note Carlos had written, and was giving it to Lauren. Lauren read the note and handed it back to her, rolling her eyes.

I shook my head and glanced away from Lauren; unfortunately my gaze landed on the Cullen's table. The five of them were suspiciously angled around the table, leaving them able to glance my way. Hopefully I was just being paranoid.

I had learned yesterday that lunch wasn't exactly easy. Feeding Cissy her bottle, and making sure Anna ate, took up most of the time. I also couldn't eat until after Cissy had. I didn't dare try to put Cissy back in her seat after she had finished her bottle, and had been burped. So I only had one hand today, which made me realize just how much the second hand helped during meals.

As I had promised the day before. Anna, Cissy and I left the cafeteria earlier then we had yesterday. Today we made it to biology with time to spare.

Edward smiled at us as we walked towards the desk we shared. "Good afternoon, how are you three today?"

I gave him a look of desperation and said, "exhausted." I regretted the words instantly. What had made me say that, and for that matter what had made me talk to him as if we were friends?

He smiled sympathetically. "I'm sorry, is there something I can do?"

I shook my head, while my heart fluttered at his kind offer. I took my seat and quickly got the fussy Cissy out of her seat. Anna tried to climb up on my lap but that was impossible with the lab stool we were sitting on. I blanched just thinking about holding Cissy while Anna sat on my lap, sitting on these stools; could you spell disaster.

Edward saw my dilemma. He carefully tapped Anna on her shoulder. She turned to him and he offered to lift her up. She raised her arms towards him and he lifted her. I was surprised when he set her on his lap, wrapping one of his arms around her protectively.

I waited for Anna to start screaming but she just smiled at Edward and snuggled into his hold. I handed Anna, her memory game and she eagerly started flipping the cards over.

I spent the hour watching Edward and Anna play memory. Anna was extremely happy, and I was glad, but I still didn't trust Edward. Something about him and his coven was different. I didn't trust them, even though Anna's powers gave me reason to. Sadly, if I was being honest with myself, I wasn't going to trust anyone easily for a long time, possibly even for the rest of my life. Wouldn't that be a problem?

Class went by fast, and I was soon, packing up our stuff. I had my backpack on, and Cissy in her carrier; but when I turned to help Anna put her backpack on, I found she already had it on. Edward gave me a crooked smile, making my heart flip. He of course heard it and chuckled lowly, I blushed as red as a tomato and hurried out of the room.

In the locker room, Anna gave me something else to think about. I had to dress down today for PE, and when I changed Anna pulled on my top then pointed at her own top. Anna wanted to change clothes too.

"When we go clothes shopping this weekend I'll get you PE clothes you can change into." She clapped her hands happily. It was nice being able to keep Anna happy, without too much trouble. Now if only I could learn to be happy again.

We walked into the gym and I set Cissy's carrier down on the bleachers. True to everything that had happened today, she started crying. I silently wished that Cissy was like normal two month olds; then maybe she would be asleep right now.

Coach Clapp walked up to me, and rested one of his rather large hands on my shoulder. "If you can spare a moment after class, I really need to speak with you."

I nodded; I had to keep the smile off my face. If I had to stay and talk with the coach, the Cullens would most likely have left by the time we got to our car.

I was almost giddy throughout the entire class period. Anna sat on the bleachers playing with Cissy and showing her, her picture books while I joined the class. They were still playing Volleyball, and I was glad that I was facing away from the little girls. I didn't want to chance, hurting them by accidently sending the ball towards them.

Cissy wasn't happy with staying in her seat all through class, but thankfully Anna was able to keep her quiet. Coach Clapp rather eagerly, let me check on Cissy regularly during class. I think he thought it was safer if I wasn't a part of the game, but technically I had to play some of it.

After I had changed back into my normal clothes, I took the girls, and we found Coach Clapp in his office. He gestured for me to take a seat. I sat down thankfully on a couch in his office; setting Cissy's carrier beside me while Anna sat down on my lap.

"Miss Swan, I needed to talk with you about your plan for PE." The Coach nervously glanced at the girls. "I understand you can't leave Anna, and she can't leave her sister, but it's rather difficult for you to care for them, and participate in class."

I knew PE was going to be the hard class, when it came to having the girls with me. I told him the truth. "I don't know what to do. I have to take this class, but I also have to care for them."

Coach Clapp gave me a sympathetic smile, and yet when he spoke he sounded nervous. "I hope you don't mind, but I talked with my wife about you and the girls last night. I was asking her for advice."

I could understand. "I don't mind. Did she have any ideas?"

He nodded. "She works in the morning and she could get here in time for sixth period. She said she wouldn't mind sitting on the bleachers with the girls, so that you could participate in class. The girls would still be in class, so Anna would still be able to see you, and you could be sure that they were okay."

"I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "Your wife would really sit in class with Anna and Cissy?"

"She says she will come tomorrow if that's how you want to go about this."

Anna tugged on my sleeve as I was about to thank him. "What is it Anna?"

She pointed to me, then tugged on her clothes, before pointing to a basket filled with soccer balls. I stared at her, not sure what she was wanting. This would be one of the moments that I wished she would start talking again. I truly missed hearing her little voice, but it was nice to know exactly what she wanted.

Anna repeated her movements, pulling on my coat, then her shirt before pointing to the soccer balls.

Coach Clapp glanced at the two of us curiously. "She's saying something about your clothes and then the soccer balls." I wanted to say something sarcastic like 'you don't say,' but I decided better of it. Before I could answer him though, he snapped his fingers and sat up in his seat. "She's talking about the uniforms, you wear for PE."

"Oh, I told her I'd get her some PE clothes, this weekend when we go shopping for clothes." It felt odd telling my PE teacher this.

He just nodded kindly. "So she wants to join you in class."

I hadn't really thought about it, when I told Anna I would get her PE clothes. I should have realized that the chance of her joining us in class was slim. "I guess I wasn't really thinking."

Coach waved my words away. "Bella, the staff here has been told what happened down in Phoenix, we want to help make you all feel welcomed here. If Belle there wants to join PE, I see no reason why she can't. We'll just have to make a little changes."

Anna grinned at his words, while I silently congratulated the teacher for using the right name. "Would you tell your wife that I would be grateful if she would come and sit with Cissy, and Anna until she can join in?"

He nodded and stood from his seat. He held the door to his office open for us, and we made our way to the parking lot.

Most of the students had already left, but there was still a few stragglers; including the Cullens. I groaned mentally, and promised myself I would get to school in time to get a spot away from the Cullens, tomorrow.

The five of them were lounging against and around the hood of their car, talking to each other. They laughed easily, and smiles were on all of their faces.

As we walked passed them they all glanced at us. Their smiles were supportive and sympathetic. Anna waved at the group of vampires, while I chose to ignore them.

As I was fastening Cissy's carrier to the seat, Anna peeked around the front of our car at the Cullens. The five of them smiled at the little girl, occasionally waving when she would peek around the car. She would playful duck back behind the car after they waved.

I shook my head, and let a small smile spread across my face. I took Anna's hand and we walked around the front of the car. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Alice step in our direction and knew I was about to be introduced to the rest of the Cullens.

My phone buzzed in my pocket and I mentally smiled. Alice and the other vampires obviously heard my phone buzz. She stepped back and leaned against the car while I answered my phone.

Carlos' voice answered instantly. "Bella, it's Carlos."

I actually laughed. "You don't say."

"Are you near, you're laptop?"

"I haven't left school yet, I still got to buckle Anna in her seat."

"You need to get home now, cause in fifteen minutes you need to be signed in to the company's online conference room."

Panic flooded me. "There's no meeting today."

"Well there is now," Carlos' voice was thick with annoyance. "One of the business client for company two, messed up their shipping order and now they want to talk it out with you."

"Can't you handle that?"

"No, this is strictly the CEO's job, they've royally screwed up and now you have to fix it."

I groaned and ushered Anna into the car, buckling her up quickly. Common courtesy hit me, and I waved to the Cullens before get into the car. I ignored their surprised looks, they had been too shocked by Carlos' news about my job to remember they shouldn't have been able to hear him.

I just barely made it to the online meeting. As I typed in my password to get into the online conference room, I dreaded my first task as CEO.

Author's note

Hey everyone, I hope you guys like this story. Personally I think it may be starting out slow, but it will start picking up. Hopefully I can keep you guys interested until that happens.

As for questions, any guesses whether or not a certain pixie has heard about a certain shopping trip? Do you think the vampires are spying on Bella enough to know about that little adventure? Any Idea's when Bella will be officially introduced with the rest of the Cullens?

Bye,
