A/N So, here is the first of the many checker-off chapters! enjoy!

Edward and I stood in front of the door, side by side.

"Are we going to go in or keep on tracing the lines in the wood?" Edward sighed.

"Hold on, I'm almost done with the last grain. Okay," I smiled shyly.

Edward shook his head and rang the door-bell solemnly.

I heard footsteps in the distance and before the door opened I asked. "You scared?"

"Why should I be ? It's not going to hurt me...is it?"

I laughed and the door opened.

"Bella? Edward? Hey! Oh my goodness. I haven't seen you since last fall. Wow, you guys haven't changed a bit. Especially you Edward." Angela pulled me into the house and Edward tagged along with his hands in his pockets. If he could blush and sweat I beat he could be the replacement for an octopuses limb. Don't think about it...it doesn't mean anything.

"So, what brings you back to Forks? I thought you were just in California?" Angela sat down in her tiny living room.

"Well, we just wanted to come back home as fast as we could... and Edward drives like a maniac." I stuck my tongue out at him when Angela wasn't looking.

"So, how are Ben and little Benny doing?" I asked and Edward's knee started bobbing.

"Oh, Ben's working his tail off and Benny is just working to poop.. Life is good." Angela smiled.

Angela gave birth to a son a year ago. Ben had ego issues and wanted to name it after him, but Angela said if she had to call their son Ben as well, they would have to rely on Stoffer's to be their new mommy. So they compromised. His name isn't Benjamin, its Bentley. Or Benny for short...but that doesn't make any sense because it's still two syllables. Parents...

"Would you like to see him?" Angela's face brightened, obviously proud of her handy-work. I nodded. "I was just about to give him a bath."

"Perfect."

"What?"

"Oh nothing. Do you need any help bringing him down?" I asked politely.

"I can handle it," and with that Angela skipped up the stairs.

I lazily turned my head in Edward's direction. "So...I've been wondering, how have you gone to medical school twice and still haven't given a baby a bath?"

He mumbled something incoherent about nurses and smelly.

Angela came back down with a bundle of sleepy joy in her arms. I grabbed him up gently and spoke quietly. "This can't be Ben's child.. He's too perfect." I smiled at Angela and she laughed and said something about how Ben was as close to perfection she could get.
Awww...

"Well, He didn't get a bath yesterday, so I have this schedule and if something gets off track for too long I'm screwed." Angela said holding her hands out to take back Baby.

"You know, I think Edward would really enjoy doing that for you. Wouldn't you Edward?" He nodded his head shakily. "He has never really been around kids and I want him to have a little more experience. Right Edward?" He nodded his head. "You wouldn't mind would you? I'll be watching. And if anyth-"

"That would be the greatest! Oh, thank you Edward and Bella. I didn't do other stuff. Oh, thank you. I'm just so busy. I didn't think I'd have to do so much being a stay at home mother. Boy was I wrong."

Angela stood up, as did I. Edward just backed up to the wall, controlling his breathing.

Edward stared at the bath tub in the sink and Benny then at me.
"I'm going to kill it."

I rolled my eyes. "'It' has a name. Benny. And it's just a human." I smiled.. "Wait...no, are you scared of it?"

Edward rolled his eyes. "'It' has a name. Benny. And of course I'm not scared of him. I'm only slightly terrified." Edward breathed. "It's so delicate."

I rubbed his arms. "Aren't I just as delicate?" I rested my chin on his shoulder.

"Yes. But you're not a baby."

I sighed. "Just think like it's me, okay. Just pretend your washing me."

Edward scrunched up his face. "Bella dear, I think that would have permanent major psychological effects on him."

"You know what I mean!" I slapped him on the arm. "Ouch." I whimpered.

Edward stared back at Benny and shrugged. "I don't like this game."

I sighed and said the two words that would make him do anything. "Perverted. Minds."

And with that Edward picked up the baby smoothly"' but a little roughly and dipped him into the tub while simultaneously grabbing the Luke warm soapy dish towel.

"Whoops." Edward whispered.

"What?" I raised my eyebrows. And hopped off the counter trying to see around his shoulder.

"Um...are babies supposed to leak?"

"What?!" I slid around him and saw Benny perfectly fine and smiling a boyish grin. I moved my eyes down to see why.

"He's peeing Edward. Not leaking." I shook my head. "Seriously. How did you even get past pre-med...or life for that matter."

When Benny was done 'leaking', I put his diaper on and changed his clothes. Edward stood far away, watching me with admiration.

While giving him a bath, Benny was kicking and screaming like the devil killed his parents and was going to eat his liver and little dog too. I've seen a lot of angry and scared babies. I thought I had seen them all...until Edward came along. I could tell it took every ounce of Edward's self control to not rip it's head off.
Edward wasn't breathing while the warm water trickled, Benny was screaming so loud he put the sirens to shame, and I was in the background laughing my head off.
But he got it done with no injuries, except Edward's manliness and Benny's sanity. It's all good though.

He fell asleep and I put him back in his crib. Edward slipped his hands around my waist.

"I'm jealous of you. You made it look so easy. Promise me something." He whispered.

"What?"

"Never make me do that again." His voice was pleading.

I laughed and shook my head towards the ceiling. "Good thing you're a vampire. We don't have to worry about that. That should be a slogan somewhere. Permanent birth control. Sleep with a vampire." I joked.

Edward growled.

Just then the door opened. "Oh hey guys!" Ben called as he set down his brief-case. "Where's Angy?" He inquired.

"I don't know. She went out to get something, I think." Edward answered. He knew where she was but had to keep up pretenses.

"Oh, well, how's Benny."

"Clean and asleep." I smiled.

"Great. Well I'll be upstairs if you need me. Glad to see you guys. I have to finish some reports." he smiled and jogged upstairs.

Edward tensed and looked out the back door.
I turned around and saw his face relax as the back door opened slightly and slowly.

"Hello?" I said in a shaky voice, even though I knew it wasn't somebody dangerous from Edward's stance.

"Oh. Hey guys. Is...is Ben in there?" Angela poked her head in and whispered.

I pointed upstairs.

"Okay great." She swung the door open and put down two brown bags.

"What's going on?" I asked Angela, Edward was no help, he just stood there smirking.

"Well," Angela started. "Last week I found a litter of kitten's in our garage. I was able to give away most of them. But I still have some left."

"And why are you hiding them from Ben." I wasn't getting the cloak and dagger vibe from Ang.

"He's allergic and hates cats. I think he had an accident with one growing up." Angela paused. "That would explain the huge scratch on his..." Angela whispered to herself. "Anyway! I have to feed them. Can you hold the door open?" Ang nodded towards the door by the laundry room.

"We can do better than that." Edward stated. "We'll take one of those kittens."

I raised my eyebrows and looked at Edward in confusion. Then I remembered number five on 'the list'. Take care of a cat.
Edward smiled at me devilishly as Angela handed me a calico and meowing kitten.

I gulped.
This can not end well.
