Worries
BPOV
The week seemed to go by slowly. I think in a way that is good for me, I'm able to psych myself up for tomorrow night. I don't know why I'm so anxious. It's not like Edward was coming too. Alice & Carlisle had reassured me that Edward didn't know of their plans. Which is good, I know I'm not ready for him to know where I live or to put Reneesme through the awkwardness of Edward and I in the same room.
While the ER was busy as usual with the usual bumps and bruises and the occasional trauma, I wasn't able to keep my mind off of Edward. Edward this and Edward that thoughts were starting to get to me. So I tried to bury myself in charts instead. Tomorrow may be awkward for me, I'm hoping it won't be that way for everyone else. I really did want Reneesme to get to the know Cullens and vice versa. I just need to stop worrying so much.
It'll be fine. I tried to convince myself. Something I was trying to work on.
I made my way home from work and arrived around 11:30pm. Reneesme was already in bed when I arrived home, her backpack ready for school in the chair next to the front door. I smiled and made my way to the kitchen, knowing she would most likely have left me the dishes to do, but to my surprise they washed and put away. Goes to show my daughter had learned something from me. My smile was even bigger.
I turned and walked into our living room and sat down to read more of the book "Forbidden". Reneesme was right, I was starting to enjoy this book, because the next thing I knew she was coming out of her room to get a shower and ready for school.
"Good Morning, sweetheart! Did you sleep well?" I asked.
"Good Morning, Mom! I did. How about you?" she laughed, knowing I don't sleep.
"What do you want for breakfast? I can fix it for you while you shower."
"I'm just going to grab a granola bar and some milk. I'm too excited to eat much else."
"Ok, if you're sure."
"I'm sure Mom. My stomach is a bundle of nerves as I'm sure yours is as well."
"Yes, I'm a little nervous, but not for me, but for you. This is why; I thought game night would be an ice breaker."
"Do you think they'll like me?" Reneesme asked.
"Sweetheart, they'll love you. What's not to love, you're beautiful, funny and smart!" I promised. She blushed and ducked her head. I knew they would love her, everyone does the moment they meet her.
"If you say so, I'm going to go to the mall right after school. I just do something between school and game night. Is that OK?"
"Sure, just be here by 6pm. They'll be arriving around then." I reminded her.
"Sure, sure." She replied.
Then she was out the door for school and I was getting half way out the door myself to head back to work. I was hoping today would be as busy as yesterday, so I'd have lots to do and not worry about tonight and meeting that would take place.

Sorry that it's taken me so long to update. I've been busy over the last several months. My sister and I have been working on cleaning out our mom's storage unit and trying to get rid of the stuff we don't want or need. Then my husbands grandfather was ill and passed away. So there was lots to be done at his home to clean it out.
Then rolls around May and we are booked solid every weekend this month. So to say I'm busy is an understatement, not to mention the writer's block I had. I'm going to try to be better at writing and posting chapters.
Hope you enjoy this chapter.
