A/N: First off, I have never been to this place but the way that I tell it, is how my characters were describing it to me in my head. So please forgive me to the people that have actually been to this place and I might have it out of order or might be missing some things.

I also might have some animals in my story that is not at Olympic Game Farm. They are just the ones in my story. However, I might not have some of the animals that are at the Farm in here. I hope that makes sense. Maybe not… I don't know.

Anyway… on with the story.

Chapter Ten

~*Bella*~

I manage to get out before Edward can open my door and he goes to the back of the car. I assume to get a stroller for Anna.

I go to her door and open it. "Can I get you out while your daddy gets your stroller?" I ask her.

"Yes, ma'am. Pwease." She responded while holding her hands up for me to pick her up.

"Let me unbuckle you from your seat first, okay?"

"M'kay." She said and waited patiently.

I got her unbuckled with no trouble at all and then she reached up her little hands again. This time I took them in mine and kissed them. I don't know why I did it but the urge was somewhat overwhelming for me to do it that I just did.

I looked up at her and she had a really big smile on her face, so I know that it was ok. I took her and pulled her to me chest. I put one hand on the back of her head to make sure that I didn't hit it on the top of the car and pulled her out.

When I knew that I was clear of the car, I looked for Edward. He had a look of several emotions on his face. The most dominant emotions were shock but yet with happiness, too.

"I think that your daddy is silly." I told her so only she could hear me. She removed her head from my shoulder to look at her daddy more fully. She started to giggle and nodded at my statement.

That is when he gives that crooked half-grin of his that has you weak in the knees. Swoon.

I put Anna in the stroller and squat to strap her in. When it's buckled, I tickle her side a little and she giggles. What can I say, I already love that giggle.

I stand up and look in the back seat of the car and grab the diaper bag with the small blanket. I give Edward the bag and drape the blanket over Anna's legs.

"Tank you." She supposed with another giggle. I told her that she was very much welcome and went to Edward's side.

"Thank you," he whispered as he put an arm around my waist. I looked at him strange because I was kind of confused. Why was he thanking me? "For being so accepting of her." He elaborated.

"Why wouldn't I be? She is part of you." I stated.

That was when he kissed me on the forehead and then on the lips gently.

"You're amazing." He was still confusing me but I let it go.

We walked up the front entrance and he paid for us to get in.

There were all kinds of animals and it looked like both Edward and Anna were just as eager as I was to see what they had to here. I knew that they most likely had several different kinds of bears.

I looked at the map, that they gave us at the entrance, to see if it would tell us what we would see and when we would be seeing it. It looked like we were going to see the mountain lions, pumas, cougars, and panthers first thing.

The animals that were to be to our left were the cougars. They were bathing themselves when we looked on to watch. I read a little about the animal that was displayed on a big stone outside the fence. Anna seemed to be really listening to what I was reading to her.

"Wook, Bewwa. Pwetty!" she said while pointing her little finger to the cougars.

"They sure are. Are you ready to go to the next one, Sweet Pea?" I asked.

She nodded her head with enthusiasm.

We then went to the next set of cages and it was the mountain lions. Like with the cougars, I read the stone and Anna was watching them prance around.

We stayed there and admired the mountain lions some before moving on. We saw the pumas and panthers while I read the stones. They had some interesting facts about the animals that I didn't even know.

We saw the lions. But when we got to the exhibit of the tigers, Anna started to really cry. She seemed to be scared. Edward was about to get her and I put my hand on his forearm and asked if I could get her. He motioned for me to go ahead with a little bit of caution in his expression.

I squatted down, unbuckled her, pulled her to my chest and started to rub soothing circles on her back. She had a death grip on my neck, so I just know that she was scared.

Very quietly I asked, "Why are you so scared, Sweet Pea?"

"Tat one is not diffewent. Me don't wike it." She said referring to the white tigers.

"Your daddy and I will not let anything happen to you. Do you believe me, Sweet Pea?" I asked. Anna nodded and I reminded her that they are in cages and that they can't get to anyone through them. She started to loosen her grip on my neck with that explanation.

I turned to look at Edward to see if I was stepping over some kind of boundary with me trying to comfort his daughter. The look on his face was one of awe and wonder.

We went to the bears next with Anna still in my arms. They had black bears, grizzly bears, cinnamon bears, glacier bears, Alaska brown bears and Kodiak bears. The Kodiak bear had a cub with it. Momma bear considered to be very protective of her cub.

We watched the bobcats, coyotes, wolves, and wild cats. I had to hide Anna's eyes when the bobcats wanted to show too much intimacy in front of her. I looked at Edward and I don't think that he really noticed what was happening in the cage. He was just staring at me. He blushed around his ears when I caught him.

At some point we made a bathroom break. Edward took Anna out of the stroller to the men's room and then suddenly came out. He had a horrified look on his face while covering Anna's.

"Do you want me to take her?" I asked with a smirk.

"No, it's ok. I will just take her to the car and change her there. Are you about ready to go? It is getting late and I don't really want to have her out too late." He said as he ran his free hand through his hair.

"Sure. Just let me take care of her while you use the restroom." I said as I grabbed the diaper bag from his shoulder. He released her over to me and I noticed that she really needed to be changed.

As he went back to the men's room, I took Anna and the stroller into the ladies room. They had one of those things that make it easier on you to change a child's diaper, mounted to the wall. I looked in the stroller and got her thin blanket. I spread it out on the changing area, laid Anna down on it, and then buckled her in.

"Can I change you, Anna? So you will be all clean and dry?" I asked, not wanting to scare her in any way.

"Yes, pwease." She said while nodding her little head.

I looked in the diaper bag and found the diapers, wipes, lotion, powder, and spare clothes.

Once I had her diaper changed, I changed her clothes. After I wiped her face, neck, arms, and torso, of course.

The whole time doing so, she just studied me with curious eyes. Like she was trying to take everything in and wanting to remember it. Very observant.

I picked her up and sat her back in the stroller. I wheeled her to the sink and started to wash my hands. I had a thought as I was rinsing my hands. I turned to Anna.

"Do you want to wash your hands too, Sweet Pea? And then I will put some of the lotion that is in your daddy's bag on your hands. You will smell all clean for daddy!"

She looked up at me, smiled really big and nodded enthusiastically while reaching for me to pick her back up. I picked Anna up and washed her hands too. I then proceed to put lotion on her hands. It smelt divine. It must be know because I have never smelled this kind before. But divine, indeed.

While smile big the whole time, I finished by putting her back in the stroller. She smelled of her hands and clapped. She was giggling too.

So adorably cutie it makes you want to run out and ten of them if they all acted like her.

We left the ladies room and found a nervous Edward waiting for us to exit. When he saw us he hurried over.

"Why do you look so nervous?" I asked.

"Sorry. I'm just not use to someone else take care of her other than family. Thank you." He smiled a genuine smile.

"No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to over step my boundaries. I've dated not a handful of men since high school and certainly no one with a child. So this is new territory for me too. If I do something that makes you uncomfortable, please just let me know. I would never hurt her. And you're welcome." I said with sincerity.

"Daddy! Mell!" Anna said as she held up her hands for him to smell them.

"Mmm. Smells good enough to eat." He said, smelling of her hands. She giggled causing Edward to laugh. He turned to look at me and said, "are you ready? I thought that we could get something to eat before we head back to Forks."

"Sure. I am starving." I said as my stomach growled. Edward laughed and Anna giggled. "Did you hear that?" I asked.

She nodded and giggled some more.

I pushed the stroller while Edward put his arm around my waist. As we walked I noticed the gift shop. I asked him if it was ok if I went in before we left and he seemed to be thinking the same thing.

We walked in and I saw that they had a lot of stuffed animals and some that I would really like to get for Anna.

I grabbed a stuffed moose, black bear, and tiger. I saw Edward get the lion and the buffalo. We continued to look around but didn't really see anything that we wanted to get, so I walked to the counter to pay for the items that I had pick out. I went to give the young girl my debit card at the same time that Edward did.

"I can get my own." I said, just knowing what he was trying to do.

"I know you can." He smirked giving the young girl his credit card.

Ok. If he wanted to play that game, then I'll see if he likes me playing it.

I quickly said that I had to go to the restroom and that I would meet them back at his car. He started to walk with Anna to the car and I went back in the gift shop as soon as he was out of sight.

I went back over at the area where there was a display of t-shirts and found us all matching ones. I got my size and look at the smaller sizes for Anna's shirt. I remembered her size from changing her in the bathroom.

I was just puzzled on the size to get Edward. He was lean but with a little muscle tone to him. I decided on a large. I hope that fits.

Get the extra-large. It will shrink in the wash. ~Alice

I look at my phone in complete amazement. God help us with her. The things that Alice knows and sees are like none other.

I went to the cashier at the front and she was smiling at me the whole time. She must know what I am doing.

I left the shop and made my way to the car. He had the trunk open putting the stroller in when I got there. So I opened the back door to put my bag in inconspicuously. I looked at Anna and put my finger up to my lips, smiling "Shh, our little secret." I said with a wink.

She giggled and I smiled bigger. She mimicked me and it was so cute that I giggled too.

As I backed out of the rear of the car, I was surprised to find Edward behind me causing me to squeal.

"What are you two doing?" he asked.

"We'll never tell." I said, looking back in at Anna as she giggled again.

"Alright, get in." he said as he opened my door and afford me his hand to take. I took it and Edward helped me in the car, before he proceeded to his side of the car.

As we pulled out of the parking lot I noticed out of the corner of my eye, Edward looking in the rear view mirror. "Uh oh! She will be mad for the rest of the night," he said while scrunching up his eyebrows.

I was just utterly confused. "What?"

"Anna's mad. Look at her facial expression." So I did. I looked and she was scowling at Edward.

"Why are you mad Anna?" he asked her.

"You scawe Bewwa. You make hers scweam. Tat not nice." She replied.

"Well baby girl, I didn't mean to scare her."

"Yous say sowwy! She is nice and you said I not pose to scare nice peoples." It was kinda cute and funny to see a three year old reprimand an adult.

"I'm sorry, beautiful. I didn't mean to scare you. Geez, the things that I do to appease my three year old daughter." He said the last part under his breath.

I looked up at him and raised my eyebrows, while he gave me a sheepish look. He obviously didn't think that I could hear him.

"I really am sorry." He said with a worried expression on his face now.

"It's okay." I replied and then turned to Anna thinking that some damage control was in order. "Anna," I said while waiting for her to turn her head to look at me. "Your daddy didn't scare me real bad. And he told me that he was sorry. So I think that we should be nice and forgive him, don't you?"

I watched as she turned to see Edward in the mirror and I did the same thing. He was pouting an adorable pout. I couldn't help but snicker at his cuteness.

"Yes, I duess so. But he pwomise not to do it again!" she said the first part with a shrug. The second part was said with a finger pointed in the direction of Edward while looking at him. So cute!

"I promise, baby girl." Edward said, looking at her in the mirror.

"Not me. Hers!" she replied while pointing at me. I giggled. I couldn't help it.

"I promise not to scare you again, love." He said, grabbing my hand over the console. He brought it up to his mouth and placed a gentle kiss on that hand.

We heard giggling in the back seat. I glanced at Anna and she had a twinkle in her eyes, watching our display. I think that helped Edward out in averting her anger for the night.

A/N: I really had a hard time with this chapter. I did suffer from some writer's block a little. But I am hoping that I am back in the swing of things now.

Remember what I said in the beginning about the animals in this chapter.

I have never been or see myself anytime soon going to Washington much less Forks and its surrounding areas. So forgive me on that.

As always leave me some love!
