Heyya everyone. sorry it has taken a while to update. only just finished this chapter so that is why it has only been put up. Ive brought the Cullen's back!! yaaaay! i was going to have a very cute bit with Jasper and the cat, but that can be left for another time :P. anyway, go and enjoy the chapter.
Bella's POV
"Jasper I'm back" I called into the house. He didn't answer me back but when I turned around I couldn't believe what was in front of me.
In my living room all the Cullens were standing looking at me. I didn't have much time to react to what I was seeing before Alice came and jumped on me, wrapping me in a hug.
"Oh Bella! I've missed you. Don't ever do that to me me like that!" she scolded the last part. I smiled at her and wrapped my arms around her again. After Alice let me go, she looked down at the pile of shopping that was at my feet.
"Bella, why have you been food shopping?" Alice asked, confused.
"Um, I'm baby sitting tonight and I have no food, so needed to go shopping." I told her.
Alice looked at me confused and then looked over at Jasper.
"Is Jasper staying here with you?" she asked me.
"Yeah." I answered.
"Are you sure that is a good idea Jas, I mean your not as comfortable with this life as we all are." Edward said from somewhere behind us.
"Look I'm fine ok. I've been her for a few days and nothing has happened. I can be around humans without killing them." Jasper said back to Edward.
I hadn't noticed anyone else standing behind Alice as Alice was the only one I could see since she tackled me. I moved her to one side and saw everyone here even Carlisle and Esme.
I walked over to Carlisle and hugged him quickly before going to give the rest of the family a hug. When I got to Emmett I noticed that he had disappeared. I looked over to Rose and she gestured to the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen wondering what Emmett was doing in there and what I saw made me laugh.
Emmett was leaning over my work top playing with my cat. Bobby was swiping her paws at his hands but not in a nasty way like im sure she would have been with Jasper. I could here the faint sound of her purring from her chest. Emmett looked up and saw me standing in the door.
"Hey Bells." He said before coming over and giving me a hug.
Once he put me down I looked over at the cat.
"Making friends Em?" I asked him.
"Yeah, she is really sweet but why do you have a cat? I mean isnt it strange?" he said.
"I've already had this conversation with Jasper. I don't think it is strange. I love my cat and I would never do anything to hurt her." I said. picking the cat up and putting her outside.
"I might." I heard Jasper grumbled from the next room.
Me and Emmett walked back into the living room and I went over to stand next to Jasper while Emmett when and stood next to Rose.
"Can you please leave the damn cat alone" I told him as he wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his head on my shoulder.
"I'm sorry. I promise to be good." He said as he kissed my neck.
"So Bella. what have you been doing since you left?" Edward asked me.
"baby sitting for my neighbours. That is about it really, oh and setting work things up." I said.
"What happened with the Voltuir?" Alice asked me.
I sighed trying to figure out what to say.
"Nothing. Aro came here with a few of the guard and then they left without much trouble." I said smiling.
"When you say without much trouble?" Emmett asked.
"What are you implying Emmett?" I asked him.
"Come on Bells! You have this totally awesome power and you are telling me that you didn't even use a tiny amount of it on them, when they have been after you for god only knows how long." Emmett said, with his arms crossed over his chest.
I smiled at him.
"You know me a little too well Em. Ok, I did have to use my power. But only on one of them." I said
"Who?" Jasper asked from behind me.
"Demetri. He and I have a very strong love hate relationship." I told Jasper.
I could tell that he wasn't happy, because his arms got tighter around my waist, but I knew that he was going to let this go. For now.
"So Bella, who are you baby sitting tonight?" Rose asked me from the corner of my living room.
"Two of my neighbours are going on a date and I asked if they wanted me to baby sit for them. Plus I know both of them very well and I have no doubt in my mind that they will be having breakfast together as well." I told her.
She smiled at me and Alice giggled.
"So, is this guy cute?" she asked.
I moved away from Jasper and gestured for the girls to follow me outside. I knew that Jason was working on his garden and as it was starting to get warm out, he would no doubt have to take some sort of clothing off soon. I had a extremely large gazebo in my garden to that out skin wouldn't glitter if I was in the garden with the kids. Jason only lived one house down from me, so I could easily see into his garden. Alice and Rose were behind me as I looked over the fence, liking what I saw. Jason was there in his garden in nothing but a pair of jeans. He had taken his shirt off as he worked in his garden. I heard Alice and Rose purr at the sight of him. don't get me wrong, I think Jasper has an amazing body and he so hot, but I there was something about Jason that was just…yummy!
"Ok, that's enough of that." I heard Edward coming behind Alice and picking her up and taking her back into the house. Emmett and Jasper did the same to rose and I.
"Yes I can defiantly see why keeping the children over night is the best option." Alice said, smiling.
"How old is the youngest one you have tonight?" Rose asked.
"She is 10 months. Only just learnt how to crawl so she is a bit of a nightmare." I said.
"Isn't that a bit soon for her mother to be with someone again?" Rose asked.
"Well, she was never married and her boyfriend left her when she was just a month pregnant and he has never come back. Her sister was too young to remember him and the baby will never know who her father is, but she has brought them up fine on her own." I told them.
They didn't say anything after that.
The Cullen's stayed in my house for a while and we talked about what everyone was up too and where everyone lived at the moment. Rose, Emmett, Alice and Edward all lived about 5 minutes away while Carlisle and Esme lived a little further but not much. We talked for hours and I did forget about the time.
"Ok guys I hate this but you have to go. The girls will be here in a hour and I have yet to get anything ready for them. But you can come by tomorrow. I actually need to go clothes shopping so we could do that." I said as I got up off the sofa.
Alice and Rose screamed when I said that I needed to go shopping. I looked over and saw Emmett and Edward grinning.
"You have no idea how happy you have just made them." Jasper said from behind me.
"Bella we have so much to get, I need to get Jeans, tops lingerie ahhh this is going to be so much fun" Alice screamed.
"Ok, well we will do that tomorrow, but now you have to go." I said. Again.
Carlisle got up with Esme and hugged me and said good bye before leaving the house and Alice and Rose had to be removed from my house by Emmett and Edward, who both said good bye as they pushed their wives out of the door.
When they had left, Jasper turned to me and wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him and leaned in to kiss me.
"We are alone again, it seems." He whispered before he kissed me.
"Yes, but I have to much to do to get distracted by you." I said moving away form him and ducking under his arms.
"You can do all that needs to be done in less than a hour." He said pulling me back to him.
I glanced over at the clock and saw that it was nearly quarter past 5.
"Well, I don't even have a hour to do everything. I need to get Shan's cot up, make beds for the other girls, make food for them, make sure I have something for them to do when they are here. Busy busy busy!" I said as I walked out of the living room and up the stair.
It took me about half hour to do everything that I wanted to do. I had found a few Disney films that I knew that the girls loved to watch, paints and glitters so that they could draw if they wanted. I knew for a fact that Shan loved to crawl around in paint and generally make a mess, but I didn't mind. When I was finished, I sat down on the sofa next to Jasper and he wrapped his arms around me.
"You done?" he asked me
"Yes, everything is done. All we need now are the children." I told him.
"How old are the children again?" he asked.
"Amy's girls are 3 and 10 months and Jason's girls are 5 and 7." I told him.
"Ok, so they are little." He said.
"Yes, and don't be surprised if Shan just randomly grabs you. She is crawling and likes to stand up." I told him.
"You do know that I have no experience with babies. At all." He told me. if I didn't know any better I would have said he was nervous.
"Are you nervous Jasper?" I asked him.
"A little. I know you are responsible for them, but I'm going to help and ove just never had a responsibility like this before." he said.
I giggles and leaned over and kissed him on the lips.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine. The younger ones will love you, the older ones are a little shy, but they will love you by the end of the night. Don't worry." I told him. He leaned in and kissed me again. Just as he began to really kiss me, I heard a knock on the door.
"Bella" I heard Sophie call from the other side of the door.
I smiled against Jasper lips and moved away.
"You ready?" I asked Jasper.
"As ready as I'll ever be." He said as I got up off the sofa to answer the door.
As soon as I answered the door Sophie jumped to me and I caught her just in time before she hit the ground.
"Hi Bella!" Sophie said to me as I placed her on my hip.
"Hello Sophie. How was your day?" I asked her.
She didn't answer me, just laughed and went down.
"Thanks again for this Bella. You are a life saver." Amy said as she handed Shan over to me.
"Don't worry about it, we're going to have fun tonight aren't we Shan?" I asked her. Shan squealed at me and clapped her hands.
"Well I'm going to finish getting ready. See you tomorrow baby girl." Amy leaned over and kissed Shan.
"Sophie, are you going to give me a kiss." She called into the house and Sophie appeared and jumped at her mother. Amy picked her up and gave her a kiss.
"You be good for Bella tonight, and mommy will see you in the morning." She said as he put her down.
"Ok, Mommy. Bye bye." Sophie said as she went back into the house.
"I'll see you in the morning Bella. what time do you want me to come pick them up?" she asked me.
"When every you are ready. Please don't rush, that is why I have them, so you don't have to worry. Call me when you want to come get them." I told her.
"Ok. thanks again for this Bella." She handed me a bag with the girls over night things in and then she walked away from the house.
Once I closed the door I walked into the living room and set Shan on he floor so she could crawl around for a bit.
"Whats your name?" I heard Sophie ask Jasper.
Jasper looked over at me as if asking what to do.
"Answer her." I said so that only he could hear me.
"My name is Jasper. What's yours?" he asked her
"I'm Sophie, and that is my sister Shan." Sophie answered him, pointing at her sister proudly.
"Do you love your sister?" Jasper asked.
"Yes, but she can be annoying sometimes." She said.
Jasper chuckled at her.
"She is only a baby how can she be annoying?" he asked her.
"Because she cries and always takes my stuff. Before she could crawl I could keep all my toys, now Shan takes them all the time." Sophie said.
Jasper didn't say anything else after that he was just laughing a little
Sophie got up on the sofa next to Jasper and gestured for him to come closer so that she could whisper in his ear.
"Are you Bella's Boyfriend?" she asked him.
Jasper smiled and whispered back.
"Yes. Is that ok with you?"
Sophie nodded her head and smiled at Jasper.
There was another knock at the door and I went to answer it smiling to myself.
When I opened the door, Jason was standing there with his 3 girls. The twins Sapphire and Emerald, who were 5 and Ruby who was 7. His wife had a thing for precious stones, hence the names of the girls.
"Hey Bells, thanks again for doing this." He said as he held onto the girls.
"Its fine. I'm doing it for Amy so I may as well do it for you too." I said.
"Yeah, ive been wanting to ask her out for a while, but you know I didn't want to bring someone else into the girls lives so quickly after the divorce." He said looking into the house.
Ruby looked in through the door and spotted Jasper.
"Bella, is that your boyfriend?" she asked me.
Jason looked at me when his daughter spoke.
"Boyfriend? You didn't say you had company tonight Bella." he said to me.
"Yes he is my boyfriend. I'm sorry, I honestly forgot to tell you." I said.
"You should have said something Bella. How do I know that this guy isn't going to do anything?" he asked me.
"Come inside girls. Go play with Sophie for a bit." The girls rushed into my house and went to the living room.
"Bye Dad" they all called as they ran into the house.
"What are you saying Jason. Do you honestly think I would be with him if he was anything like that. More to the point do you think I would even contemplate having the girls here if he was like that! I would never but any of these children in danger. They will be fine here tonight. Nothing will be any different apart from the fact that Jasper is here. Now go and enjoy your evening." I said as I took the bag off him. He raised his hands in defeat and backed away from the house. I closed the door and put the bag down on the floor before going back into the house.
I watched Jasper who was still talking to Sophie and I suddenly felt very sorry for him as he was in a house full of girls for the next few hours. I walked over to him and picked Sophie up and put her on my lap.
"You having fun?" I asked them both.
Sophie nodded her head and Jasper chuckled.
"It has been a very enlightening conversation hasn't it Soph?" he asked her.
She didn't know what enlightening meant but she nodded her head.
"So girls what do you want to do tonight?" I asked them all. They all smiled at me and I knew straight away that this was going to be fun.
Sooooo what are we thinking? the next chapter will be the night where Bella and Jasper are baby sitting the girls. You are going to feel sorry for Jasper by the end of it :P :P Right, im going to bed its nearly 11 over here and i'm tired. oh and remember to review :) Hope everyone had a good easter :) :)
