"What do you need son?"

"I need to talk about Bella."

"I see, is she disobeying already?"

"Yes, and I don't know how to handle it. It's odd, I spend every day discipling my men and correcting their mistakes. However with Bella, my mind goes blank."

"Edward, you have to discipline her. She's testing your boundaries, and if you don't keep her in line she will act out."

"What do I do?"

"When a child acts out they must recieve punishment. You have to set the bar, show Bella what will happen when she disobeys."

"Thank you Carlisle."

"No problem Son."

I leave Carlisle's office with many thoughts swirling through my head. I don't want Bella to be in pain, or to fear me but I know what I need to do. I walk in to my room and get ready for bed. Before I lay down I open Bella's door softly. I peek in to see Bella fast asleep. She looks so beautiful, so innocent. I know that I have to guide her, I have to do this. I go to bed finally at peace with my descion.

I'm woke up around 9 by Bella bouncing on my bed.

"Daddy, Daddy wake up!"

I sit up and wipe my eyes. I look over to see Bella in her pajamas with messy bed hair. I get up and out of bed and send Bella to get dressed. I shower and dress then walk into my room to see Bella waiting patiently.

"Hungry Baby?"

"Yes, Daddy."

I take Bella downstairs to the main kitchen. Esme was making pancakes. Bella and I sat at the breakfast bar. After the pancakes were finished I get a cup for Bella's juice.

"Bella, apple juice or orange juice."

"Milk!"

I pour orange juice into her cup and sit in front of her with her plate of breakfast. She scrunches her nose and ignores the juice.

"Bella you have to drink half the glass."

"No!"

I let Bella finish her pancakes then send her upstairs to play. I take care of some buisness, then go upstairs to check on Bella. I don't see her in my room or her own. My mind goes a million miles a minute. I head down the hall and hear her tiny voice in Carlisle's office. I step in the room to see Bella sitting on his lap laughing.

"Bella, Why aren't you in your room?"

"I was bored, and I heard Daddy Carlisle."

"Go to your room, now!" She scurries out of the room, and turn to Carlisle.

"What were you thinking Dad?"

"Give her an inch, she'll take her a mile. I was teaching you a lesson. She could have gone anywhere. Your lucky she found me."

I storm out of his office and into the hall. I know he is right. I was going to give Bella a second chance, allow her some time to redeem herself. I was so wrong. I thought I was making the right descion by giving her some time to adjust. Dad was right, I have to discipline her. It's time I give Bella a spanking.
