Heyya again. new Update :) this is the last one now for a few weeks, because i am going away for a 2 weeks and i havent started writting the next chapter yet, but enjoy this one for now and I will see you at the bottom.
Jason was at the door panting, looking like he had just run a marathon.
"Jason! What's the matter?" I asked him.
"Bella, I need your help?" he asked me, still panting.
Bella's POV.
"Jason, what has happened?" I asked panicking.
"I need a sitting tonight. I have another date with Amy and my sister cant watch the girls. Please Bella, can you have them tonight?" he begged.
"That's it! You made me thing that one of them had gone missing or they had hurt themselves. Don't ever do that again or I'll knock your head off your shoulders" I shouted at him.
"Yeah Bells, you try that. So can you watch them tonight?" he asked again.
"Yes of course I can. Bring them over when ever you are ready." I told him.
Jason leaned into my door and kissed me on the cheek.
"I owe you for this Bells." He said as he ran back down the street.
I closed the door and went back into the living room and sat down.
"You have the girls again tonight?" Jasper asked as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder.
"Yeah. Jason's sister cant have them tonight. I wish he wouldn't scare me like that. he know how much the girls mean to me!" I complained.
"Bella, can we stay and help?" Alice squealed.
"I really don't need any help, but you can stay if you want. I'm sure the girls would love to meet all of you." I said, looking at Alice and Rose.
Alice was literally bouncing in her seat, and Rose just looked happy to be able to look after the children.
I told the girls the girls names and how old they were and I could see Alice's brain working over time on figuring out what she could do with 3 girls.
"Alice I am warning you now. these children are not going to be dolls for you to dress up." I told her.
"I would not use them as dolls. Is there anything wrong with making everyone look nice." Alice complained.
I was about to argue with her, but then I realised that the girls might actually enjoy dressing up, but I didn't have anything here that they could dress up in.
"Actually it isn't a bad idea, but I have nothing to let the girls dress up in." I said.
Edward groaned and his head fell back against the chair while Alice squeaked and bounced up and down.
"What time are he girls coming over." She asked me.
"Um, about 6 normally." I said.
Alice glanced at the clock before getting up.
"Great, that gives up just over a hour to go buy some dress up stuff. Come on Edward." she grabbed Edward's hand and dragged him out of the door.
"Do you realise what you have unleashed on these children Bella?" Edward asked before he left the room.
I didn't have chance to answer, before Edward had been dragged out of the door.
"How bad is she going to be?" I asked Jasper.
"Well, it depends on what she buys, but Alice has a gift for finding clothes. She isnt going to be happy until the girls have tried every single piece of clothing on." Jasper told me.
"Oh well, it is a good thing the girls like dressing up then isnt it." I said.
I never knew it was possible to shop as fast as Alice does. She was back in the house within the hour both her and Edward carrying 5 or 6 bags each.
"Alice! What the hell!" I shouted as she came in through the door.
"What. I've bought more things than just clothes." She pointed out.
"Like what? All I see are clothes?" I said.
"Their dinner for one thing. I had a vision of you rushing to the store to get food, because you have a bad habit of forgetting that children need to eat." I looked over my shoulder at the kitchen and remembered that I should have gone food shopping earlier.
"Ive bought games for them, Disney DVDs and sweets. I have a proper girly night planned." Alice said as she put some bags down on the floor and walked into the kitchen with the rest.
"I hope you realise that you are going to have 3 very hyperactive children this evening. She has gone over board with the sweets." Edward said walking past me to the kitchen.
I groaned. Why did I let Alice go shopping for tonight, well there was nothing that I could do about it now was there?
Unpacking the bags, I found several dressing up kits for the children ranging from Disney characters to Christmas and Halloween costumes.
"Alice this is too much. How much have you spent?" I asked her, stacking the costumes into piles.
"It doesn't matter. These will keep, now you will always have something for the girls to do when they come over. Plus, you could use these when you open your crèche in September." She said.
I had plenty of supplies for my crèche in storage, but I guess you could never have too many dress-up costumes when it came to children.
I sighed, not wanting to argue with Alice about something like money. It had always been obvious, that the Cullen's didn't seem to worry about money, it was just something that they had. But Carlisle would have had savings for the past 200 years, and I have no doubt in my mind that each and everyone else in his family did the same. I knew that Edward had a profound interest in the stock markets, and with a mind reader and someone who can see the future, there was no way that they would loose money. I did not have that luxury. I had always had to work for my money, or when I was new steal. I am not proud to admit that, but I had no other way of getting money. How else could I have gone to school and learned what I had needed to get on in life.
I didn't want t carry on with this trail of thought, im sure if Edward or Alice got into my head and knew that about me, then surly they would see me differently.
Once I had finished separating the new toys for the girls in separate piles, I put the others to one side, and they could pick what they wanted to dress up in out of those if they wanted.
I looked over at the clock to check the time. The girls would be here any minute.
"Right everyone, there is a lot of us here and I don't want to over excite the girls. That is the last thing we need with the amount of sugar that Alice has bought them." I said to everyone. I saw Emmett's face light up, and then I remember what I was going to tell him.
"Oh and Emmett, please for the love of god, do not crush the children. They are like paper compared to us." I told him. I knew he knew that but I had to make sure that he wasn't going to do anything.
I ran out of the room and upstairs where I found my cat asleep on the bed. I picked her up and went back down stairs.
"Here, practice with the cat. I warn you, kill my cat and I will kill you." I told him as I sat Bobby in his lap. My poor cat was too tired to care where she slept, so she just sat down and curled up in his lap.
"Please Em, kill it." I heard Jasper whisper to his brother.
I turned to face him and gasped.
"Jasper!" I growled
He came over to me, wrapping his arms around me pulling me closer to him.
"Im sorry. You know how much I despise the thing. It just slips out. Forgive me." he said moving his face closer and closer to mine, so that I could kiss him. I kissed him quickly on the lips before moving away from him.
"The same rules apply to you too Mr Hale." I said as I walked away.
There was a knock on the door, so I went to answer it.
"Bella!" Sapphire shouted at me before hugging my leg.
"Hey Saph, You ok?" I asked her as I ruffled her hair.
She nodded against my leg before going into the house.
"Thanks again for doing this Bella. I really appreciate it." Jason said as he handed me the girls things.
"Its not a problem, really. Oh, by the way, Jaspers sisters and husbands have come to visit, and I know Alice and Rose would love to meet the girls." I told Jason.
"Bells, you really should tell me these things before you agree to let the girls…" his sentence was interrupted by a screaming Emerald, who I hadn't even see go in.
"Look daddy, I can be a pirate!" she yelled running to the door with the dress-up set.
"I didn't know you had fancy dress things Bella." Jason said.
"She didn't. I bought them before the girls came here. Hi, I'm Alice Cullen. Jaspers sister." Alice appeared from behind me, extending her hand so Jason could shake it.
Jason was a taken a back a bit by Alice's sudden appearance.
"Jason Gardner. You really didn't have to, the girls have plenty to play with already." Jason explained.
"Don't worry about it. Bella needed things for her crèche anyway." Alice said.
"Your opening a crèche?" Jason asked me.
"Yes, well more of a day nursery but you get the idea. Actually, Alice and Rose will be working for me, so they could look after the girls tonight and get experience. You don't mind do you?" I asked him.
I heard Rosalie coming to the door.
"You would be doing us a huge favour if you let us watch the girls." Rosalie said coming into view behind me. Jason's mouth fell open, as he openly gawked at Rose in her skinny jeans and grey vest top.
"Ok, I um, don't have a problem. Thanks again Bella." Jason said as he walked away. I couldn't help but giggle, I watched him walk down the street.
"Rose, you nearly gave the poor man a heart attack." I told her as we walked back into the living room.
She just smiled before going back over to Emmett.
He girls were too busy playing with the new clothes to realise that there were new people here, but soon Sapphire realised this and came to sit on my lap.
"What the matter?" I asked her as she hid in my hair.
She didn't answer me, she just held on to me tighter. Sapphire wasn't as out going as her sisters and was quite timid and shy, so I knew that she would have a issue with new people in the house.
"Is she ok?" Emmett asked from the other side of the room.
"Yeah, she is just shy that's all." I said.
Emmett got up and come over to me and crouched down so that he was level wit Sapphire.
"Hey, I'm Emmett. Whats your name?" he asked her.
She appeared out from my hair before whispering her name.
"Wow, that is a pretty name. Do you want to come with me and see what else Alice bought for you?" he asked her.
Sapphire sat up a little more in my lap and looked at Emmett.
"She got you toys, and Disney films. Do you want to watch on?" he asked her.
She nodded and got up off my lap and held out her hand for Emmett to take it. I laughed a little to myself as I watched Emmett go into the kitchen.
"Wow, he is amazing with kids." I said to myself.
"I know. That's why it kills me that we can never have children. Because I know he would be so good at it." Rosalie said from beside me. I was in such awe at Emmett that I hadn't even noticed she had moved.
"Bella, where has Charlotte gone?i haven't seen her since we were in the woods." Jasper asked me.
Shit! I had no idea. I knew she was going off somewhere and I didn't know when she was coming back. How would she react when she came back into the house too find me looking after 3 young children. Could she even be around young children? She had only hunted on my diet once and I had no idea if she was planning to keep it that way.
"I don't know. Call Peter to see where they are and when or if they are coming back." I told Jasper as I went into the kitchen to fix the girls food.
Emmett was leaning of the kitchen counted while Sapphire looked through all the DVDs that Alice had bought.
If Emmett kept this up, I wouldn't be giving him a choice, he was so coming to work for me!
Well, that your lot for the time being. I think Charlotte is coming back in the next chapter, but I have yet to decide me know what you think should happen and i will do my very best to fit it in somewhere :)
Like always, leave me reviews so i have somthing to read when I come back from my holiday :) hope you enjoyed this chapter.
