Last time on Saviour:

"Emmy, it's the best present ever," she said as she ran towards Emmett. A cardboard box? I thought. I stepped forward at the same time that Alice gasped and Edward groaned. I looked in the box and gasped, horrified.

Esme POV

Emmett had led us all down to a small clearing in the middle of the forest to give Bella his gift. I had to admit I was extremely worried about what it would be. Bella had said that whatever was in the box was the best present ever, and knowing Emmett, that couldn't be good. At the same time that Rosalie stepped forward, Alice gasped in shock and Edward groaned at whatever it was that Alice saw. Rosalie stepped closer and as she looked into the cardboard box she gasped as well.

"Emmett, how could you be so stupid?" She asked furious.

"What is it?" Jasper asked.

"Our dear brother Emmett, has just given the most stupid gift to Bella," Alice said.

"And that is?" Carlisle hedged.

"Emmett bought her a puppy!" Edward yelled. Oh no I thought. Judging from Bella's reaction, she loved it and would want to keep it.

"Mamma," Bella asked from Emmett's arms. "Mamma, why is my puppy stupid?"

"Bella, hunny, your puppy isn't stupid," I said "It's just that we can't have pets in our house because-" I stopped, I couldn't tell Bella that we couldn't have a dog in the house because one of us might eat it. Edward what do I say? I asked Edward mentally.

"Bella, the reason we can't have a puppy is because Alice, Rose and Jasper are allergic," Edward told Bella.

Bella looked at the box and then at Alice, Rose and Jasper.

"Oh" was all she said. Her face crumpled from the happy, excited expression she had worn earlier, to the devastated expression she wore now.

Rosalie walked towards Bella and took her from Emmett's arms. She placed Bella on the ground and Bella ran to the puppy in the box. I stepped forwards to see the puppy for the first time and inside the box was the most beautiful Beagle.

"I suppose if Esme were to build a big doghouse in the backyard where the puppy could live, and Emmett promised he would clean up after it and looked after it's every need, we could keep it," Rose suggested.

"I suppose we could do that, and then Jasper, Rose and Alice won't have to be near the puppy, the only thing is, we need to get Emmett, to agree," Carlisle said.

"What! I don't want to have to do everything for the dog, its Bella's," Emmett whined.

"Emmett, Bella is three years old, how do you expect her to do it all, besides you got it for her," I said. Emmett pouted and crossed his arms.

"Alright then, Bella, I'm sorry but Emmett doesn't want to look after the dog so we're going to have to send it away.

Bella looked at me in shock and a single tear spilled over her eyes and down her face. She ran over to Emmett and grabbed his leg.

"Emmy please look after the doggy, please, please, please" Bella begged. Emmett looked at Bella and gave in.

"Fine, I'll do it, but Bella has to help me," he reasoned.

"Yay, I love you Emmy," Bella said and jumped up and down.

"Bella, what is you puppy's name," Carlisle asked.

"Lucky," she said with confidence.

"Lucky, why?" Jasper asked.

"Because I am lucky to have a puppy," Bella said. I smiled and heard Rose and Alice 'aww.' Emmett picked up the box and started walking back to the house. We all followed behind him, Carlisle hold Bella in his arms.

"Emmett, did you buy anything that the dog needs?" Rose asked skeptically.

"Yes," Emmett said "It's all in the basement, behind the old piano that Alice painted pink for Eddie."

"Don't call me Eddie," Edward growled and he bent down to pounce on Emmett.

"Boys, not now," Carlisle ordered and Edward straightened up and headed away from Emmett.

"Immature," Emmett muttered under his breath.

"I'm immature?" Edward said.

"Yep," Emmett said, pooping the 'p.'

"Boys," Carlisle cautioned, "what did I jut say?"

"Sorry Carlisle," To break up the argument between Edward and Emmett, Alice piped up,

"Where are we going to keep the dog until Esme builds the doghouse?"

"Good point, I think we should keep Lucky in Edward's room," Emmett suggested.

"NO!" Edward yelled.

"Relax, he was joking," Rosalie defended Emmett.

"I think we should keep Lucky in the basement," Jasper said.

"That's a good idea," Carlisle said.

We reached the house and Emmett, Carlisle and Edward set Lucky up in the basement, while Rose Alice and I made Bella lunch. Jasper was playing Go Fish! with Bella.

***

Three weeks later, the doghouse was built and furnished and Emmett had kept his word so far. For the past three weeks Bella had talked non-stop about Lucky, and everyone was getting bored of it quickly. Except Jasper and Edward, it seemed as if those two could listen to Bella's stories for hours on end without getting tired of it. It was about 7:30 and Rose and Alice were bathing Bella and getting her ready for bed. Carlisle was in his office and I was cleaning the stove when the phone called.

That's odd, no one ever calls us, especially at this hour I thought quizzically.

"I'll get it," I said quietly, knowing everyone would hear me.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hello can I please speak to Esme Cullen?" I recognised the voice as Sue McGuire, the editor for the gardener magazine.

"Oh, hello Sue, it's Esme," I said.

"Hi Esme, We were wondering if you would be able to do us a favour tomorrow?" Sue asked.

I thought about it quickly and remembered that tomorrow was Monday and the children would be at school and it was Carlisle's day off so he could watch Bella.

"Absolutely Sue, what is it?" I agreed.

"Esme, tomorrow we are having an eight hour conference and meeting on next months issue and Harold Fisher is coming as a guest speaker and he'll give us tips as well. We know that its last minute but Nancy is sick and can't be there to show him around and speak with him so we were wondering, seeing as your one of our best garden designer's if you could come along," Sue explained.

"Oh, Harold Fisher, that famous gardener who has his own show on the ABC?" I said excited.

"Yes, that's the one," Sue confirmed.

"I would never miss it for the world," I said. "See you tomorrow," I said happily and hung up the phone. I rushed up to Carlisle's office to tell him my good news.

"Carlisle," I said as I entered his study, I was too excited to knock.

"Yes dear," he said and I walked over to his desk and sat on his lap.

"Carlisle, you won't believe what's happening tomorrow," I said.

"What's happening?" He asked, he knew it was something big, I was rarely this jittery.

"Sue called and said that tomorrow Harold Fisher is guest speaking at the conference and they want me there. It's your day off so you'll be looking after Bella, is that okay?" I said.

"Esme, I have a 13 hour surgery tomorrow, didn't I tell you?" Carlisle said.

"No, you never mentioned it, otherwise I would have written it on the calendar," I said racking my brains.

"Esme, I know this means a lot to you but -" Carlisle started but I cut him off.

"Carlisle, I can't not go, I already said yes," I said, "can't you reschedule the surgery?" I asked hopefully.

"Esme, this is a life or death surgery I can't postpone it, the only reason we're not doing it today is because this woman's daughter is getting married, in the hospital so she wouldn't miss it. But that's not what I was going to say; can't you just take Bella along with you?" Carlisle suggested.

"I thought of that too, but this conference is eight hours, she'll never be able to sit still and quiet four that long," I said.

"Alright, we'll have a family conference in the kitchen, go and call the children," Carlisle said.

"Alright," I said and walked out of his study.

I walked to the bathroom where Alice and Rose were dressing Bella.

"Girls, down to the kitchen now," I said "bring Bella." I added. I walked to the games room where the boys were having a play station battle or something.

"Boys, put that down, come to the kitchen now, we're having a family conference," I explained. They obediently stopped what they were doing and followed me downstairs. When we entered the room everyone else was there, Bella sitting on Rosalie's lap playing with the toys they had thought to bring.

"Alright, now that we're all here, we can start." Carlisle addressed us. "We have a slight problem. Tomorrow, I am in surgery all day and Esme is at a conference that she must attend and you all have school so there is no one to babysit Bella, we have tried to think of a solution but we are both stumped, we can't think of anything, we need some ideas," Carlisle explained. Hearing her name, Bella looked up curiously and studied all of our faces.

Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know," Emmett said enthusiastically throwing his arm up in the air like young children do at school.

"Yes Emmett?" Carlisle asked warily. It was at this point that Bella got bored of our discussion and went back to playing with the toy cars.

"We can all stay home from school to babysit her," Emmett suggested proudly.

"I don't think that's such a good idea," I said. While pushing a car that Bella rolled over to me, back to her. Emmett's excited face fell.

"Well fine then, don't like my idea." He mumbled under his breath and Rosalie gave his hand a reassuring squeeze.

"The reason why I don't think that is not such a good idea is not because I don't trust you, but because you have missed on two weeks of school in total due to sunny days, and it only the sixth week of term," I said.

"That's a good point," Carlisle said, "Are there any other suggestions?" he asked.

"What if we call the Denali clan?" Alice suggested. "Oh, then I can talk to Tanya and Kate about the fall clothing line and we can go shopping and it'll be so much fun," she exclaimed excitedly.

"No," Edward said stubbornly, this was unlike him, usually he would make a compromise or conditions but this was a flat out no.

"Why not?" Alice asked indignantly. "Oh, this is because you don't want me to see Tanya and Kate, you don't want me to have fun, what did I ever do to you?" Alice concluded angrily.

"No, it's not that, invite them by all means, but I'm not letting them babysit Bella," he said possessively.

"Why don't you want them to babysit Bella?" they are vegetarians like us, they wouldn't hurt her?" Carlisle asked, he knew, as well as the rest of us did, that he had a reason for not wanting the Denali's to babysit Bella.

"Because, they don't know Bella and Bella doesn't know them. It would be cruel, do you remember the first time we all went to school and she didn't want us to leave?" Edward said. I remembered that day; I think it was one of the worst things that I had to see in my prolonged life.

"Now that was just us, she still had Esme, this is everyone leaving her, she won't be comfortable at all," Edward said. We all nodded our heads. His reason was legible; it was something we didn't ever want to do to Bella again.

"Well I guess my ideas out the window as well," Alice grumbled. "Man, why did I get my hopes up like that?" she asked herself.

"Alice, you can still invite them, Thanksgiving is coming up soon; they can all come over then," I said, I hated to see any of my children to be upset.

"Yay, Esme your the best," she squealed and danced over to me to give me a hug and she planted a kiss on my cheek.

"You're welcome Alice dear; now does anyone have any other ideas?" I asked getting back to the issue at hand.

There was silence from everyone, except Bella who was happily playing with the cars. Jasper had absent-mindedly started playing with on of the cars. Bella grabbed the red Lamborghini model and raced it up Rosalie's arm making the cars sound effects.

Rose laughed and allowed Bella to race the car around her face and up into her hair. If anyone, other than Emmett, ever touched her hair, they would have lost an arm. And probably a leg as well.

"I have the most brilliant idea in the history of brilliant ideas," Emmett exclaimed.

"What is your most brilliant idea Emmett?" Carlisle asked rolling his eyes.

"Well, I thought that if we can't get anyone to look after Bella at home, and Carlisle can't watch her in surgery and Esme has a really long conference, we could just take her to school with us, we could take it in turns with looking after her," Emmett said. Everyone stared at him in shock. It wasn't very often that Emmett came up with an idea that wouldn't involve not going to school or playing a prank on someone.

"Emmett, that's actually a good idea," I said. "Carlisle what do you think?" I asked.

"I think you're right, we both know that she would be safe with them, the only thing we need is the principal's permission; Esme, can you call Mr Slater before you leave tomorrow?" Carlisle asked.

"Absolutely, I'll work my charm," I said and pulled my most dazzling smile. "Alright, Rose, Jasper, take Bella to bed please," I said and at that everyone left the kitchen and went to do various activities.

***

"Hello, This is Esme Cullen, this mother of the Alice, Edward, Emmett Cullen and Jasper and Rosalie Hale, could I please speak to Mr Slater?" I asked the front office lady politely.

"Absolutely, I'll patch you through Mrs Cullen," She replied.

After a few seconds I heard the sound of the phone being picked up and a male voice answered.

"Hello Mrs Cullen, how may I help you?" He asked.

"Hello Mr Slater, and please its, Esme." I said in the most alluring voice I could. Ugh, this is disgusting I thought and I heard Edward chuckle upstairs.

"Mr Slater, I have a slight situation and I was wondering if you could help me?" I asked.

"S-sure anything, what can I do for you?" he asked breathlessly, I was sure that as soon as I hung up the phone, he would faint.

"Well, both my husband and I have work today and we couldn't find anyone to babysit our Bella so we were wondering if my children could take her to school, I promise that Bella will be no distraction and she will be well-behaved," I asked in my alluring voice.

"Oh, that's right, you adopted Chief Swans daughter. Well, I suppose that would be fine, will- will you be dropping her off?" He asked hopefully.

"No, she will go with the others, thankyou so much for this Mr Slater, you really saved the day." I said and hung up the phone. Eww I thought and shivered.

"Bella, please, just wear the dress I picked out, you are going to school with us, that means into public and you have to make a good first impression," I overheard Alice say.

"No, I hate dresses, I wanna wear my new blue hoodie," she said defiantly.

"Bella, please wear the dress, it's blue and green, your favourite colours," Alice tried to persuade her.

"NO! Mamma," She called. I flew up the stairs and into Bella's room.

"Mum, Bella's not wearing the clothes I chose for her,"

"Mamma, I don't wanna wear a dress, it's gross,"

"Mum, make them shut up, I'm trying to kick Eddie's butt at the moment,"
"Don't call me EDDIE!"

"Alright, that's enough!" I said a bit louder than usual. Everyone stopped talking immediately.

"Alice, it's a bit cold for Bella to be wearing a dress, pick out some thing else for her to wear, and let her wear the hoodie if that's what she wants to wear.

Emmett, you have to leave in ten minutes, so you better be ready to leave, and you have to go fill Lucky's water and food bowls, and don't call your brother Eddie, you know he hates it. Edward, you better be ready to go. Rose can you come here and get anything Bella might need for today, where is Jasper?" I said in one breathe.

"I'm here mum," I heard Jasper call from the garage.

"I have to leave now, I'll see you this afternoon," I said. I got a chorus of,

"Bye mum"

"See ya, have fun"

And a "Bye mamma, I love you," from Bella

I left the room and went down to the garage. I saw Jasper setting up Bella's car seat in Edward's Volvo.

"Bye mum, have fun," Jasper said to me.

"Take care of Bella and don't let her cause too much trouble," I said and he nodded. I hopped into my car, a green Lexus and sped out of the garage. I knew I would be thinking of Bella all day and it wasn't because I didn't trust my other children, it was just natural mothering instinct.

Edward POV

I was in Bella's room gathering a few books, toys and colouring things to keep her occupied during the day.

"Edward!" I heard Rosalie yell from downstairs. I ran down to the kitchen at vampire speed and slowed down once I reached the door.

"What?" I asked frustrated.

"Did Esme leave food for Bella's lunch today?" she asked.

"How am I supposed to know?" I said bewildered. "If she did, she would have cooked it last night with dinner and put it in the fridge" I said. Rosalie rolled her eyes and opened the fridge door. On the top shelf was a bowl of pasta. I smiled smugly at Rosalie and she glared back at me. I sat on the stool watching Bella draw patterns on the table top with her fingers.

"Rose, do I have to go and look after Lucky? She stinks." Emmett whined.

"Hey, you should have thought of that before you got the stupid mutt and you promised Esme and Carlisle anyway," Rose said to Emmett as she pulled a few juice boxes out of the fridge.

"Mummy, my Lucky is NOT stupid," Bella said defiantly.

"I'm sorry sweetie, I only said it for effect," Rose said as she kissed Bella's forehead.

"I wanna come too Emmy," Bella said and stretched her arms out towards him.

"Alright kiddo, come with me and we'll get this job on the way," he said and lifted Bella onto his shoulders.

I realised that I should be packing Bella's things and escaped back upstairs. After I finished I made my way downstairs and waited in the living room with Bella, Jasper and Emmett.

"Where's Alice?" I asked.

"Lunch?" I heard Alice ask.

"Check."

"Water?"

"Check."

"Juice?"

"Check."

"Spoon and Fork?"

"Check."

"Bib, bowl and sippee cup?"

"Check."

"Toys?"

"I don't know, Edward did all of that,"

"Edward, come here."

I groaned, but stood up and walked into the kitchen where Alice and Rose were standing.

"Edward, did you pack some toys for Bella to play with in class?"

"Yes Alice," I answered in a bored voice.

"Don't take that tone with me; I don't want to forget anything. Now what toys did you pack?" She said.

"Couldn't you just look into the future?" I grumbled but answered her question hastily after the sour look she gave me. "I packed a few dolls, toy cars, trucks, a puzzle, her teddy, her stuffed lamb, lion and duck and a few puppets."

"Okay, did you pack her blanket?"

"Yes,"

"Her teddy white?"

"Yes,"

"And I packed a spare change of clothes; looks like we're good to go," Alice said, back to her chirpy self. "Jasper, if you please," she called and we all walked into the living room to see Bella close her eyes drowsily while resting her head on Jaspers shoulder. We walked into the garage and Jasper placed Bella into the car seat in the back of my car, while Alice placed all Bella's things in the boot. Rosalie and Emmett had decided to take his Jeep and Alice, Jasper and I would go in my Volvo. I hopped into the drives seat and we were off.

Within five minutes we had arrived at school and Jasper was pulling Bella out of the car as she awoke from her very short slumber.

Sorry this chapter is a bit boring but the next one should be so much better. I was going to continue here but I decided to start a new chapter instead. In the next chapter, there will be more than two POV's as I decided Bella would be moving from class to class with different people. I also hope to do a Bella POV in the next chapter too :)
