Terrible Tender Twos

Ch.10- Bath Time

Edward's P.O.V.

Renesmee was covered head to toe in dirt. I don't know how a little girl so small could manage to make such a huge mess. Charlie was coming over in an hour so Renesmee had to eat and shower before he came. Charlie had been nagging us to let him see her again because he hadn't seen her since last Thursday. Bella was going to make Nessie's dinner while I gave her a bath. Let's just say I got the easier job. Food was revolting but if it made Nessie happy I would do it in a heartbeat… if my heart was still beating that is.

I picked up Nessie and walked into the bathroom. I turned on the water, plugged the drain, and pored in some of Nessie's favorite soap that smelt like bubble gum.

"Daddy, I don't want to take a bath. I like being all brown." Renesmee said with a smile.

"Baby, I don't think Mommy wants the house all dirty so we have to take a bath."

"Please Daddy!" Nessie whined.

"No honey. Now let's get undressed and showered so that you can eat dinner before Grandpa Charlie comes over." I pulled off Nessie's clothes and threw it in the laundry baskets. The laundry basket in any Cullen home isn't really a laundry basket, especially with Nessie's play activities and Alice's shopping habits. The clothes really end up in the trash or donated to Good Will.

I tickled her tummy and she squealed with laughter. I put her in the tub and she splash around. "Come on Nessie sit still so I can wash your hair."

"But Daddy, I am a mermaid and mermaids don't wash their hair."

"Oh of course mermaids wash their hair Nessie. Who told you that lie?"

"Uncle Emmett.

"Well don't listen to Uncle Emmett. He gets confused." I washed her hair with strawberry shampoo, just like Bella used when we first met. I pulled down the shower hose and washed the shampoo out before Nessie screamed for getting it in her eyes. She was swimming around and around in the tub. "Nessie come here." I said.

"But Daddy, I'm a dolphin." With that said she got a mouthful of water and spit it in the air. It all landed on me.

"Do you know what I am Nessie?"

"What!?"

"A dad who is going to spray his daughter!" I took the shower hose and started to squirt her then she splash water back at me. By the end of our water war the bathroom and I were soaked. Bella was not going to be happy. Nessie swam around in the tub some more while I wiped down the bathroom. Bella knocked on the door.

"Is she almost done because her food is ready?" Bella asked as she peaked through the door. "Oh my god! Edward what happen to you?!"

"I was attacked by a dolphin." I said. Nessie giggled.

"Come on Nessie. Let's go get dressed." Bella opened up a warm towel from the dryer, wrapped Nessie in it, and carried her off to her room. I went back to Bella and my bedroom to change. Khakis and a polo would do. It was just Charlie. I walked out to the kitchen and Bella stood watching Nessie eat her diner. I rapped my arm around Bella's waist and kissed her gently.

"Charlie will be here any minute." I said.

"I know. I can already hear his car coming down the drive." Bella announced. I still wasn't use to her being a vampire let alone the quirks that come with being a vampire.

"Daddy?"

"Yes ness?"

"Can I be a mermaid again tomorrow night?"

"Of course Nessie." I smiled at her.

"Mermaid?"" Bella had a very confused look on her face.
