Anyway, ill leave you enjoy this chapter now, and i will see you at the bottom :)

Bella's POV

After a very long and very sexy shower with Jasper, I decided that I better get a move on to me Emmett and the girls down at the day centre. I knew it shouldn't take too long, all I had to do was walk them through procedures and policies, show them how all the equipment worked and then show them the routines of the babies that were starting with us next week.

"Jasper, I've got to go. I'll be back in a few hours." I told him as he got dressed.

"Ok, I'll see you later." He kissed me softly before I left.

"Oh, don't forget that Peter and Charlotte are coming over later to go hunting." Jasper called.

How could I forget? Every chance that I got to spend with my daughter I took willingly. I loved how close we had become over the last few weeks and knowing that she had finally forgiven me for what I had done and we were finally starting to build our relationship again.

I left my house and drove the short distance to the building where I opened my day centre. Alice and Rose were outside with Esme. I didn't know where Emmett was.

"Hey girls. Esme, what are you doing here?" I asked her as I went over to give her a hug.

"I thought I would come over here and give you a hand. Plus, id be happy to help you out once you open." She said.

"Thanks Esme that would be great. Rose, Where is Emmett?" I asked.

"Oh, he went hunting before I came here, and he came back covered in blood. He found a bear and decided to play with it a while, so he is just cleaning up." She said.

"Oh ok, Well ill just keep the door open and he can come in when he gets here." I said as I went into the building.

We walked into the building looking around the entrance hall, where there were a number of different pegs for the children to hang their things. We walked past the office and you could see the two different rooms, where children would be. One room for the babies and another one for toddlers.

"Right, These are the two rooms that we will be using. That one" I pointed to my right "Is for the babies and the other room is for the toddlers. There is a kitchen at the back joining the two rooms, where food will be cooked, bottles warmed and everything else." I said as I walked through the baby room to go to the kitchen. In each of the rooms the rooms there were other rooms where the children would be able to go to sleep. The baby room had cots in the extra room, while the toddler room had small camp bed.

Emmett finally decided to show up. He hadn't missed much so it was easy for him too figure out what we were talking about. I showed them how to work the baby steriliser for dummies and bottles, showed them how to figure out how many ounces of baby formula needed to go in with water ( I know that vampires don't need to be taught very much, but as I understood, none of them had been around a baby with in the last few decades. So I needed to show them everything)

In the toddler half of the kitchen, there was cooking appliances that would be used to make food for the older children.

"So Bella, can I ask? What do you expect us to do with the children all day?" Emmett asked.

"Well, who ever is in the baby room its just a matter of feeding, playing and then sleeping. Oh and dirty nappies. That's always fun. And the toddlers will mostly be playing, only a few of them sleep but that isn't until the afternoon." I said. I knew I had these guys with me, but I had also hired some other girls to work here. I know the children wont have a problem with the vampires, but the parents might. Humans tend to naturally avoid us, so having humans were working with us should easy any tension that the parents have.

After I had showed everyone where everything was and how everything worked, we all left, knowing that next week we would all be working together from next week.

When I got back to the house I don't know where I expected Jasper to be, but it certainly wasn't where I found him.

When I got into the house, I found Jasper on the sofa lying sofa with my cat curled up on his chest, purring contently as he scratched her behind her ear.

"Oh My god! Are you kidding me! You have told me since you came here that you cant stand my cat, and now I come home after leaving you alone for a few hours and I find the cat curled up on you. Jasper you have some explaining too do." I told him, trying to sound serious, but I knew that I was on the edge of bursting into a giggle fit very soon.

Jasper didn't even make an attempt to move, he just lay there and looked over at me and smiled.

"I know, but when you were out it started to rain and she sat by the window. I was going to leave her there, and leave her cry, but I could feel how unhappy she was about getting wet in the rain. And I couldn't help it any more, I had to leave her in just to stop her emotions getting too me. So I let her in and came over here to watch TV and she just came and curled up on my chest. That was about 2 hours ago, and she has been here since." Jasper said, calmly as if what I was seeing was totally normal.

I walked over to the back of the sofa, too see my cat sleeping. She did wake up a little to see who was coming behind her and she moved her head so that I could stroke her, before she curled back up.

"Well, I didn't think there was anything left in this world to surprise me, but you have just done it. Wow, your lucky Emmett didn't come home with me. Can you imagine the stick he is going to give you for this." I said as I sat on the chair next to the sofa.

"Oh, come on. Just because Em hasn't seen this, it doesn't mean I'm never getting shit for it. I know you too well Isabella, you are going to tease me about this for a very long time." Jasper said as he quickly picked the cat up and set her back on the sofa without her noticing anything.

"Yeah, but ill be a lot nicer about it than Emmett would have been." I said as Jasper came over to the chair, putting his hands on either side of me so that I was stuck in the chair.

"And is there anything that I can do that will change your mind about teasing me." He said as he leaned in and kissed my neck.

"Hmm, ill have to think about it, but at the moment, nothing is coming to mind." I told him as my head rolled back allowing him more of my neck to kiss.

"Are you sure about that?" Jasper, whispered against my neck as one of his hands slid off the arm of the chair and onto the top of my leg, and to my hip, where he began drawing circles with his thumb.

Now this could have gone on for hours, but I knew that we were expecting company soon, so I had to put my foot down and stop this before Jaspers actions get me to the point where I wouldn't be able to stop.

I moved my head so that I could kiss Jasper on the lips lightly, knowing that if I gave him anymore he would not give me another chance to stop.

"Hold on cowboy, we need to stop now, have you forgotten about the company that we are expecting very soon? But I promise we will continue this later." I said as I took his bottom lip between my teeth and pulled it lightly. I small growl rumbled from his chest, but I moved before he could do anything more to me.

"Peter and Charlotte will be here soon to go hunting, so I need to change." I said as I went up stairs to change my clothes.

I knew that we were going hunting, so I decided on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. I could have killed for a shower, but I knew that I would probably need one by the time that I got back so I didn't bother.

I looked over at the clock in my room, seeing that Charlotte would be here any minute, and as I left my bedroom, I heard the front door opening and I heard Peter talking to Jasper.

When I got down stairs, Charlotte came and hugged me.

"Hey, what have you been up too, haven't seen you in a few days?" I asked her as she pulled back, I brushed a strand of hair out of her face.

"Nothing Mama. Should we go, I really am thirsty." Charlotte asked, looking over at Peter and Jasper.

The guys agreed, so we all jumped in our cars and drove to where we were going to hunt.

Once we started hunting, it didn't take me very long until I found a pack of wolves. Recently the wolf population had got larger, so that gave us the excuse that we needed to hunt them regularly. Charlotte stayed with me, while Peter and Jasper went off on their own to look for something. I don't know why Peter didn't come with us, Wolves would taste a lot better then anything else that is in this forest.

Me and Charlotte soon found what we had been looking for, a pack of wolves in a clearing sitting down quietly. This was going to be easy. It didn't surprise me that Charlotte was the first one to run at the animals. I smiled as my daughter as I watched her take down one of the larger animals. I was so happy that she had embraced the diet that I lived on so well. I knew that Peter was having some trouble with it, but I knew that Charlotte would help him through any issues he had with it.

Finally once I had stopped admiring my daughter I went after her and caught my own animal. I was quite thirsty, so the blood felt so good as it went down my throat and instantly dulled the burning at the back of my throat.

After I had drained my kill, I shoved the body off me just as Charlotte came running from somewhere behind me.

"You feel better now?" I asked her as she sat next to me.

"Yes I do. It is taking a little getting use to, but I think I can continue living like this." She said as she smiled at me.

"I'm glad. I know that Peter is having a hard time with this, but I think he will be able to carry on with it. I mean, if Jasper could do it so can Peter." I told my daughter.

"Yes, but Jasper had the Cullen's around him, and they had already been living this way for years. If something happens and Peter cant live this way, then I know that I will slip back into it too, because I'm not strong enough to do it alone." She said, looking down at the ground she was sitting on.

"Well you know that if either of you need help with this that me and Jasper are here to help you. All you have to do is ask." I told her.

She looked at me and smiled.

"That means a lot. Really it does, but it makes it harder to tell you this." Charlotte looked at her hands again that were in her lap.

I looked at my daughter a little concerned, but I knew what she was going to say before she opened her lips.

"Peter and I have decided to move on from here. Just for a while. Its just so hard for us to stay in one place for a sustained period of time. We are so use to moving around all the time, that being here as long as we have has made us both uneasy. Please don't think that I'm not going to come back, because I am. Now that I know you are here and that you are going to be staying here for a while makes me feel better about trying this diet on my own. I will come back mama, I promise, but we need time on our own now to see if we can do this without you and Jasper watching us all the time." She said looking at me, with a sad look on her face.

"I've been waiting for this for a few while. I know its hard for you and Peter to stay in once place for a long time. I never expected you to stay as long as you have if I'm honest. You need to do what you are comfortable with. And if that means going your own way then that is what you have to do." I told her, taking her hand and looking at her.

She smiled at me before leaning over at that she could give me a hug. I could tell by the way that she hugged me, that she intended for this too be our good bye and as soon as Peter came back with Jasper she would be gone.

I don't know how long we sat there holding each other, it could have been hours, but we decided that it would be a good idea to go find the guys.

We found Peter and Jasper sitting next to a small stream talking to each other. By the look of Jaspers shirt, they had only hunted for a short time before playing in a stream became a more appealing option.

"Why is it that men cant concentrate on anything important when there is water around?" Charlotte asked.

"I don't think it is all men. Just ours." I told her as we walked over to the guys.

"did you find anything or have you been playing in the water for the last hour?" I asked Jasper.

"Yes we found something. We were just talking before he leaves." Jasper said, looking over at Charlotte.

I went to sit next to Jasper while Charlotte went to sit by Peter, we talked for a few more minutes, before Peter and Charlotte decided that they better get a move on.

I hugged my daughter one last time, for what could be a while before they left. I knew that I would see her again at some point, but it was hard to watch her walk away.

As soon as she was gone Jasper wrapped his arms around me and pulled me towards him.

"Are you ok?" he asked as he kissed the top of my head.

"Yeah I'm good. Its just hard to watch her walk away from me that's all." I said.

"She will be back. Or if not, we could go find them in a year or so." He suggested.

I nodded my head, not saying anything, knowing that if I opened my mouth, I would cry. Since Charlotte had come back, I hadn't cried as often as I use too, so now she was gone I was back to a emotional mess.

"Come on, lets go home. You can have a bath and then you can lay down and watch a movie." Jasper said, taking my hand and pulling me back to my car.

"Will you stay with me?" I asked him.

"Do you need to ask that? There is no where else I want to be than with you." He said as he pulled my arm so that he could kiss me.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and melted into his kiss. I knew that I was upset now, but I knew things would get better as long as I had Jasper. My own Southern Gentleman.

:( i know Charlotte has gone. But dont worry, she will be back in the story at some point. Right, the next few chapters are going to be Bella working with everyone in her Day nursery, and you will be able to get a glimpse of what i do for a living, or training to do anyway :) i wont be using names but everything that you read would have happened to me when i was on placement when in college. very funny. it makes me laugh not sure about everyone else though. Oh well, i guess we will find out soon :)
