EPOV:

Once back at my parent's house we went in to get Carlie. We could hear laughter coming from the den, so we headed in that direction. Once we walked into the doorway, we stopped dead in our tracks. My goofy brother was on the floor with Carlie straddling his chest putting makeup on his face while he was sleeping. Bear was sitting right by his head as if he was guarding Carlie to make sure she finished her task. Carlie heard Bella trying to hide her giggles and turned to us just to put her little finger up to her lips and quietly "shh'ed" us. The rest our family was sitting on the sectional couch watching Carlie at work. I noticed that Jasper had his cell phone out video taping Carlie's handy work.

I motioned to Bella for us to go sit on the couch with the rest of the family. I had to find out what was going on. Bella sat beside Rosalie and I sat beside her.

"Okay, what happened that Em is knocked out and Carlie is playing 'Em Barbie'?" Bella asked Rose.

"We were watching 'Beauty and the Beast', per Carlie's request and Em decided to lay in the floor and narrate it with his own words. Carlie made him hush and so he fell asleep." She grinned a very evil smirk. "It may have been suggested by Alice and myself that he get a little makeover since he was interrupting her movie. You both know that he sleeps like a rock when he passes out and Carlie weighs about as much as a pea, so he has hardly moved at all."

We watched in fascination as Carlie made him up. By the time she was finished, we were about to die from holding in our laughter. After taking a couple pictures and loading them up on Facebook, we finally woke him up.

"Unkie Emmy, you look prewwy!" Carlie grinned. Remind me to never cross Bella or Carlie, I don't think I will be able to survive if this is what they do to Emmett for something this simple.

"Well thank you shortie! Did that movie finally end?" Emmett said as we were all snickering and giggling as quietly as we could. Finally he noticed us trying to hold back the laughter.

"Okay, what the hell is so funny?"

"Uh oh! Unkie Emmy say a bad word Nana!" Carlie told on Em to our mother.

"Emmett Dale Cullen!" Ma raised her voice to my brother. I looked over at Carlie because I heard a small gasp from her.

"Uh oh! Unkie Emmy yous in troubie!" Carlie's eyes were huge and looking like she was starting to get upset.

Bella leaned into me and whispered "She thinks anytime someone's Mommy uses their full name, that they are in big trouble, because that is what I do when she has done something really bad. Which is not often, but she knows. She is going to get upset because she thinks she got Em into trouble and she can't stand someone getting into trouble because of her."

Carlie walked up to Emmett and wrapped her little arms around his neck and whispered to him, "I sorry Unkie Emmy!". You could hear the tears in her voice.

"Hey shortie, look at me." Emmett pulled her back so that he could see her face and he wiped under her eyes. "It was my mistake. I should not have said that bad word, especially not in front of you. It's okay! Nana knows I screw up all the time. She just tries to remind me that I don't need to do things I shouldn't. Are we cool shortie?"

Carlie's face broke into a breathtaking smile. "Coow! And you reawwy wook pretty!" She kissed his cheek and skipped her way over to Bella and climbed into her lap, putting her feet in my lap. I smiled at the way she felt comfortable with me already.

"Okay shortie, I know I look pretty all the time, you don't have to tell me!" Em grinned but finally the damn broke and we could not hide the laughter any more.

"What?" Emmett asked very confused.

Alice reached into her purse that was sitting at her feet and pulled out a compact mirror for him to see. She handed it to him and he looked at himself.

Now, let me tell you... I actually thought that Em would blow a gasket and start yelling, but he surprised us all.

"Shortie, you should have at least fixed my hair, too. I can't pull off this sexy look with my bedhead." We were laughing so hard.

I leaned in and whispered to Carlie, just loud enough for Bella to hear also, "Are you ready to go get something to eat and watch that movie that I promised earlier?"

Her little eyes brightened and the biggest smile you could ever imagine broke out across her little face. "Yeah!" She was bouncing on her mother's lap.

"Well, lets get going then!" I said as I stood helping Bella up. I reached up and took Carlie from Bella and held her on my hip. We said our goodbyes and I told my family that we would be back in a few hours. You could see the shit-eating grin that broke out on Alice's smug face. I just rolled my eyes at her and led Bella out the door.

I took my girls to La Bella Italia, after making sure with Bella that it was okay with her and that Carlie would eat something from there. She assured me that they both loved Italian food. We went in while I held Bella's hand and carrying Carlie. I just could not keep the goofy grin off my face and the overwhelming feeling of just how right this felt for me was amazing and scaring all at the same time.

We were seated and started looking over the menu. I already knew what I wanted, I came here a lot and mostly got food to go, so I just sat there watching Bella interact with Carlie. She was asking what she wanted and to see Carlie smile at her mom and asked for "Sgettie!" was just adorable.

After we ordered Bella decided she wanted to ask me about myself. "So, um.. Edward what has life been like since you got home? Is there anything you like to do in your free time?"

"Well I have mostly kept myself busy with get the everything up and running with my businesses. I don't have much time, so usually on my days off, I try to catch up on personal stuff like laundry and picking up around my condo. I am really just spend time with my family as much as I can, with family dinners mostly, but unfortunately I haven't spent much time with them like I should." I paused thinking of how I could possibly think of how to word my next statement. I feel like I can be honest with her without judgment, but still I am ashamed of what I need to say to her. "I have not really tried to spend time with them and I know that sounds horrible, but since my breakup with my ex I have really just stayed to myself. There are things that happened with her that I have never told my family and just can't open up to them about it."

"I really understand what you are talking about. I had one relationship with one of my brother's friends after I had Carlie and moved back home with my dad. I haven't really talked to anyone about it because... it honestly just hurt to think about it, much less talk about it. My dad knows a little bit about it, but he doesn't know the whole story." She had a sad look on her face, that I never want to see again in my life.

"I know this may sound forward and I really hope it doesn't scare you off from taking the job or moving up here, but Bella I honestly feel more close to you in the little time that I have been around you than I have anyone else in my entire life." She was worrying her bottom lip as she listened but never said anything, so I went on. "I really hope that we can get to know each other more as we work together. I honestly have a lot of trouble trusting people, other than my family, but with you, it just feels different like I can truly trust you."

She has this sweet smile that slowly starts to creep on her face. "I feel the same thing toward you. I have a hard time trusting people. Other than my dad and Jake, your family has been the only ones that I have trusted in a long time!" She was quite for a moment then went on, "I really would like to get to know you as well, to see where this" she motions between the both of us, "is going. But, I have to tell you that my daughter is my number one priority. No one comes before her. I see that you treat her with love and respect already and that makes me like you even more."

"I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but I truly see you both as a package. I can't imagine you without her and her without you. I would not want you to feel like I don't want Carlie to be apart of my life as well. In the short time that I have known you both, I have truly, honestly come to love that little squirt." I looked over to Carlie and grinned as I watched her coloring on her place mat.

"Thank you! That means everything to me." Bella whispers with glassy eyes.

I reached over the table and squeezed her hand. I wanted her to know that I would never ask her to not let her daughter be apart of every aspect of her life.

Our food came and we ate while chatting about anything and nothing at the same time. I learned a little more about her. She was amazing. I could not keep my eyes off her, especially when she was interacting with her little girl. She was amazing with her. Cutting up her spaghetti and making sure she didn't spill anything on herself. She truly loved being a mother and it showed in everything she did for and with Carlie.

We left the restaurant and went to the movies. It was a cute little movie. Carlie sat on my lap the entire movie, resting her back against my chest. I held Bella's hand and kept rubbing the back of it with my thumb. This felt so right, like this is where my life belonged, I belonged with these two girls. My girls!

By the time we got in the car, Carlie was already yawning and could barely keep her eyes open. When we arrived at my parent house, she was knocked out. I carried her in for Bella and took her to the bedroom.

"Let me change her clothes and tuck her in. I will be back down to see you out in a few minutes, okay?" Bella whispered to me. I nodded and walked back downstairs.

She came back down a few minutes later. She walked me to the door.

"Edward I just wanted to say thank you for everything. I truly appreciate the job offer and for everything you did for Carlie and I today. We really had a lot of fun."

"Well sweetheart, I hope to have many more days like this with you two girls. And, thank you! I keep telling you that you are helping me by taking the job." she just smiled in return. "Listen, I will be here in the morning for Sunday morning brunch. Ma would kill me if I didn't come, and honestly I can't wait to see you are Carlie again!"

"Great! I know that Alice is dying to go shopping tomorrow after brunch, so I am glad I will see you in the morning before we go! Have a good night Edward." She stood up on her tip toes and kissed my cheek. Okay, so I had to bend down a little for her to reach my cheek, but oh well!

"Good night sweetheart! I hope you have sweet dreams." I winked at her as I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her into me for a hug. I kissed her forehead and turned to walk away. If I looked back at her, I would not have left. As I drove home, I kept thinking just how much I could not wait until tomorrow, so that I could spend some more time with my girls.
