Hello my dears, this was the story that was working when I found out I was pregnant, got writer's block, and lost all ambition for writing. :/ I have 11 chapters written but I can no longer do this piece justice. Therefore, I will be posting the chaps that I have but I will be putting it up for adoption. Christag_banner made the gorgeous banner and will be willing to edit it.

If you are interested in adopting this story, please message me.

Update: Story has been ADOPTED. More details to come!

Thank you to my lovely helpers, Mizzdee and Twimom817. This would be awful without their thoughts.

Working Girl Chapter 7

CPOV

"Let me take care of you."

Mrs. Cope fed the boys lunch while Bella and I were talking so we decided to eat lunch at her house before taking the boys out to the park.

I fixed sandwiches for us, while Bella changed her clothes and we sat down at the table.

I waited for a few minutes, letting us both settle in to our lunches before I spoke. "When are you going to go speak with Edward?"

"I'm not sure. I should probably go talk to him tomorrow. Get it over with, I guess."

"Do you want me to go with you? I can call in another doctor to cover for a few hours."

"No, of course not. You go to work. I can handle Edward on my own."

For some reason, I didn't believe her, and as confident as she was, I don't think she believed it herself.

"Well, I'm just a phone call away. You know that, right? You can always call me."

"Thank you, Carlisle."

When we were finished with our lunches, we packed the boys up and took them to the park. Bella laid out a blanket and we sat on it together while the boys ran to the play set.

Ben, taking the lead as a big brother, led Garrett over to the swings and pushed him for a few minutes. Bella and I had been mostly quiet so I stood up and walked over to them.

"Ben, grab the swing next to Garrett. I'll push you both."

"Really?" he asked, slightly unsure.

"Of course, buddy."

A huge smile spread across his face as he sat down on the swing next to his brother. I started pushing them both, one at a time, until they were both screaming and laughing.

Bella walked over a little later, grabbing ahold of Garrett's swing and starting to push. I moved over, swinging Ben in unison with Garrett.

I looked over at Bella, seeing her smiling and laughing, and I finally felt complete. Like we were meant to be together. Like we were a family.

After spending a few hours in the park, I drove Bella and the boys home. I couldn't stay the night, as much as I wanted to, but I worked a long shift tomorrow in the ER and needed to rest up for it.

We grabbed dinner on the way home, eating in the car while the boys talked loudly in the back. I helped Bella get the boys into the house and started with their bedtime routine before pulling her out to the porch.

"Are you absolutely sure you don't want me to come with you tomorrow? I would feel a lot better if I could come with you."

"Carlisle, you have to work. I will be fine, and if you want, I will call you as soon as I am done."

I sighed in resignation. I was worried about her, with everything that she had told me about Edward. I was worried he would try something to make her stay.

"Ok. Just make sure you call me. I don't care what time. I will answer my cell phone."

"Ok. I promise."

I leaned in slowly, checking her reaction, before pressing my lips to hers. The heat from her lips radiated through my body, warming me from the inside out. She broke the kiss after a moment and stared into my eyes.

A crash sounding from inside the house startled us both, making us jump.

"I better go check what that was. Goodnight, Carlisle."

"Goodnight, Bella."

I waited for her to lock the door behind her before getting in my car and heading home.
