A/N: alright, you guys have to forgive me if i accidently refer to Lady as a girl...because it's really hard to refer to him as a boy ermm...male dog.....

Chapter 26

One week later...

It's been a week since going to Edward's parents house, and finding Lady. And Edward still didn't really like the dog. It was 7:55AM, We were now all dressed, and it was the kids first day of school.

"Mommy! We need to wash Lady today! he's all dirty!" Cody complained.

"We can all wash Lady when everyone gets home," i said softly, kissing his nose.

"But daddy hates him," he argued.

"Daddy doesn't hate Lady, he just thinks that he's a 'dog' but Lady is much more than that! He can solve mysteries like Scooby-doo!" Bailey piped in, while Edward zippered up her coat.

"Like what?" asked Edward.

"He found Taylors pink dress! And Matthews toy car!" Cole interupted.

"Well, we have such a gifted dog! Now you have to go out and catch the school bus! It's your first day of the 1st grade! And Emily! It's Grade 8! How exciting!" i said, trying to sound optimistic. They all just rolled their eyes. Soon they were all out the door to their bus stops.

"Bella, were you serious when you said we would wash Lady?" Edward asked seriously.

"Yes! Me, you, and Lady have had no time together! So we need to have some fun!" I said laughing. Edward sighed. I couldn't wait for the kids to come home.

"Do you have one of those small kid's plastic pools?" i asked.

"Yeah i think we have one or two in the garage...why?"

"We need to wash Lady!" i reminded him, was he even listening through the converstation.

"Can't we just hose him down?" he asked. I looked at him shocked.

"No!" i yelled in fake anger, "THE POOR LITTLE DOGGIE!"

I ran over to Lady, who was sleeping on his personal dog pillow on the floor. I sat next to him, then laid down on him. He was such a large dog it didn't bother him.

"Careful Lady!" i yelled warningly, "Stay away from the man with the water hoze!"

Edward watched from the doorway, a smile fighting it's way on his perfect lips. I laughed, but then Lady jumped up quickly, sending me to fly off her and hit my head on the floor.

"Ow..." i moaned painfully.

"Bella!" Edward yelled, running over to me quickly, "Are you alright, love?"

"I think so..." then a pain shot through my head. And I groaned.

Edward checked my head. "Edward! I'm fine!" i said. Then got up quickly before he could say anything else.

"Lady!" Edward yelled. The dog came in, his head down, and tail between his legs. He looked so frightened and innocent.

"Lady! You have to be careful! Bad Dog! You could have put Bella in a concussion!" He scolded loudly. The dog winced sadly at him, upset to disappoint his master.

Wait a minute! Rewind....Master??? Lady thought of Edward as his master? That's why he jumped up when he noticed Edward was watching us. That's why he sleeps as the foot of our bed most nights. And that's why he's always trying to get closer to Edward or-

A smile crept up on my face. "Aww" i cooed.

"What?" Edward asked.

"Your Lady's master!" i said still in the 'that's so cute'

"His what?"

"You know, master! Lady looks up to you! Your his role model, he always wants you to be happy! He-" i trailed off and went and hugged Lady, who then licked my cheek.

"Lady likes me?" Edward said smiling.

"Yup!" i answered. Edward looked at Lady, Lady looked at Edward, he still thought he was in trouble. Edward came over and scratched him behind the ears, which caused him to wag his tail happily.

"Awww" i cooed.

* * *

"Daddy! School was awesome!" Taylor yelled happily.

"Yeah! And i met a boy! He's really cute, and his name is Ryan!" Brooke said happily.

Edward froze. A smile broke out on my face. "Yeah?" i asked.

"Yea! And now we're boyfriend and girlfriend!" she said excitedly.

"What!?" Edward said angrily. I tried to contain my laughter.

"Your to young to have a boyfriend!" Edward yelled.

"Hey Brooke! Can i be a bridesmaid at the wedding?" Emily asked.

"UGH!" Edward yelled.

* * *

"Fill up the pool with the hoze, Emily!" Edward said to her. We were all outside in our bathing suits and were getting ready to wash Lady. We had shampoo, conditioner, 3 bars of soap, and five towels and 9 buckets, one for each of us.

Emily filled up the pool with the hoze.

"Why is the water so warm!?" i asked.

"It's hooked up to the hot water tank, we don't use the hoze very much, so whenever we do we might as well have warm water when we do!" he explained. I smiled.

Soon the small pool was filled.

"GRAB LADY!!!" Cody yelled. We all charged after the dog, I don't think he wanted to be washed. I fell down a few times, and Edward helped me up.

"Edward! Just call Lady to come to you," i explained, "Your his master, he wants to make you proud of him!"

"Lady! Come!" Edward commanded. Lady stopped quickly, causing the children to bang into him and fall down. None of them were hurt though.

The dog trotted over to Edward, tail wagging wildly. Edward brought the dog over to the pool and got her in. We all ran to wash her, except Emily who ran up and clicked a button on her portable stereo.

Hey baby
Ohhh
Can I talk to you
Can I talk to you for a minute
Hold on
Ooohhh yea

We all got Lady soaked and poured the shampoo and conditioner on him, then washed it off. He looked like he was having fun.

Hey girl now that I got you here with me, alone
Hey darling
I have been thinking about us N while we got going on
And I know this thing is far too long
But still should have let you know the deal
Let me tell you how I feel
I'll let you know
The feeling is mutual
I make you feel
There ain't nothing I won't try
Don't be afraid
Get a little physical
Even though I m out of taking some time
I really wanna made it be right

The dog jumped and tried to run as we dumped the water over his head to rinse him. He jumped between Cole and Bailey, and Matthew jumped on him. The dog still ran with Matthew riding on his back.

It's easy as 123
ABC

You know it
It's easy as 123
ABC
U and me
It doesn't take a genius to know

Loves me babyy

After a while we got Lady back in the pool and finished washing him. Then got the towels and dried it a bit. Then we all started rolling around in the grass along with Lady, and laughed along the way.

Who can know it's been years
Since we broken own way
Baby girl I really can't compete with you
And I really hope you don't take this personal
And I know that when you are with me
You think of me too

It's easy as 123

Finally the song ended and we all laughed, then went back in the house, ending the amazing, hilarous day.
