As soon as the words were out of my mouth I regretted it, 5 vampires were staring at me with masks of horror plastered on their usually composed faces. I opened my mouth to make amendments but Alice held up her hand to stop me. "I will explain when they are in a good, not barely, conscious state of mind" she told me.

I am not completely sure what she meant seen as vampires cannot faint but then again Alice always knows best so I shut my mouth.

Jasper was the first to recover from the vampire shock and stared at me, eyes wide open. "We can't work at a hospital Bella. We don't have the same self control as Carlisle does." He said, in an almost upset at the human's stupidity way.

I just stared back hoping that he would read from my emotions that it was Alice who was rocking the boat, not me. He nodded and stepped back as Edward, Esme, Rosalie and Emmett came to.

Edward was obviously not aware of mine and Japers exchange so looked at me with an expression of disbelief. Before I could comfort him, Alice started talking.

"Its ok guys, Carlisle will be very shocked when we turn up but will assign us to places where no blood will feature whilst we are there."

6 sceptical eyes looked her way including mine. "You don't honestly think I would even allow it for a second if there was any chance of us mucking up, do you?" she stated and looked at us each in turn with her puppy eyes.

Only Esme remained unconvinced. "Won't the temptation be too much for you all though?"

"Mom" Alice started; knowing Esme loved it when she called her that. "We WILL be fine"

"As long as everyone is positive I am willing to sign your forms. Don't tell your father though. It is time that he is surprised for once in his life!"

She laughed in a mock evil genius way, which she could actually pull off rather well I thought, as she held up her hands and Alice thrust all 5 of their forms at her.

Edward and I spent the rest of the day in his room listening to music and doing my homework, not once did we mention work experience until it neared half past two.

"Come on, you don't want to be late do you?" he asked.

I answered by shaking my head and with that he lifted me with his super human strength and we (he) ran down to the door to be greeted by Esme with a near stern expression.

"You haven't fed her Edward" she stated in a shocked way, Edward never forgets to feed me unless he has something very important on his mind. I hadn't actually thought about it until now and Esme sure saw the look of appreciation on my face as she pulled out a steaming taco which sure did look good! I took it with mumbled thanks and dug in.

"Which reminds me, Bella have you given your permission for Edward to hunt tonight?"

"Sure, sure" I replied in a Jacobesque way and cringed as I thought about it.

We met Charlie, bang on time, in the cafe and explained the whole situation. Well not completely obviously seen as he doesn't know the Cullens are vampires and so cannot bear to be around human blood.

As I held out the forms for him to sign he paused, pen poised over the paper. "But Bella, you don't like the hospital. Why would you voluntarily go there?"

I was quite proud of the excuse that popped out of my mouth next. "Well you see Cha...Dad, I thought that I take so much from the hospital and its staff, I ought to put something back into, you know, the community."

"Ok Bells" he replied seeming satisfied until he transferred his gaze to Edward. "I presume HE is going with you?" he left a hint of menace in the air which I thought was rather unnecessary to my ever supportive boyfriend.

"Of course" I replied curtly.

At this Edward turned to Charlie and gave him his white teeth smile which would melt many a girls' heart. (Or dazzle me!)

We arrived at the gym at the same time as the rest of the Cullens. They too were brandishing their forms and with there arms linked, advanced forward as the crowds parted to let them through. Edward and I trailed behind more modestly as they reached the desk and stood at a jaunty, Alice like choreography, position.

"I see" said the Head. "You all wish to work under your father's supervision at the hospital? And you too Miss Swann?" as he turned his gaze towards me.

"Oh Yes please sir" Alice gushed "we would all love to pursue careers in medical science" I think she may have added a bit on but with my human ears I couldn't catch the joke that Edward and Jasper snorted at whilst Emmett and Rosalie pouted. Who knew Emmett could pout?!

"Well that seems satisfactory, I will give the hospital a ring later to let them know how many they should expect, 8 is the final count I think"

"8...?" Edward said echoing what we all were thinking "8?"

Even Alice seemed confused.
