Hello everyone. I'm back. yes i know it has been a while, but i have been very busy. starting uni for yr 2 and i have a mountain of work that i need to do, so sadly my stories have taken a back seat for a while, but dont worry, im going to try and make time to write them now because i know if i dont do it know, then i am never going to do it. So here it is hope you like it and i will see you at the bottom.
Bella's POV
It had now been a week since Charlotte and Peter had left, and I knew that I had to get back to normal, but it was a little harder than I thought it would be. I was now so use to having Charlotte around now, that it was strange for her not to be here with me.
Thankfully, I now had my crèche to distract me, I had only been open a few days, but it was a good way to take my mind off the fact that my daughter had left.
Everyone was settled into work now. Emmett was brilliant with the children, and he was without a doubt the most popular worker that was there. Emmett was in with the older children in the toddler room, because he was better with the older children. The younger babies were a little afraid of him, but the older children fell in love with him. Everyday when Emmett came into work he would either be jumped on or be demanded to play with the small toys that he could break by simply picking them up too hard.
Alice and Rose were in the baby room and I could tell they loved it. Rose was always suppose to be around children. Alice was really good at this job as well, but it helped that she could see what was coming before the babies started crying for something. Esme was here some days as well, but she mostly stayed in the kitchen doing food and bottles for the children. She did spend time with the children, but she has assigned herself other things to do.
I had hired two other members of staff as well, so that humans wouldn't feel so threatened when they come unto the building. Two of them were trained early years workers, Haley and Rachel, and then I had two students working here two days a week from the local college.
It was nearing the end of the first week that the crèche had been opened, and I had to get too work, but first I had to make sure that my cat had some food.
"Come on bobby, mommy has to go to work." I called my cat as I put her food down on the floor.
"I wish you would stop calling her that. you're not her mother." Jasper said as he came into the kitchen. Shirtless (yummy).
"I know that, but I've had her since she was small, she is like my baby." I said as I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around his bare waist.
"But she isn't. She is a cat. A very annoying cat." He said as he put his hands on my hips and pulled me closer.
"Aww you love her really." I said as Jasper began kissing my neck.
"I really don't. she is fussy as hell and she gets fur over everything," he said as he kissed his way up my jaw until he got to my face. He kissed me hard on the lips and pushed me back so that he had me pinned against the wall. My hands that were around his waist moved up to his neck and pulled him closer to me. I knew I really didn't have time for this, and I sadly had to end it.
I pushed on to his shoulders so that I could talk, but Jasper kept his lips on my skin and moved his kisses down to my throat.
"Jasper, I really have to go to work." I moaned, as his kisses turned to small bites, that left marks on my neck.
"We have time." Jasper said as he pushed me harder against the wall and pushed his hips against mine and I could feel how hard he was. I moaned louder when he did that, but I knew I really didn't have time.
"Jasper, I really cant do this now, but I promise if you are this worked up by the time that I come home from work later, I will be very happy to…relieve you." I said as I ran my hand down his chest and over the bulge in his jeans. I pushed him away from me and moved away from the wall. I kissed him one more time before I left the house.
It didn't take me long to get to work. I had to get there earlier than everyone else so that I was able to set every thing up before everyone else got in, so I was a little surprised to see Emmett there when I walked into the kitchen.
"Emmett, what are you doing here?" I asked
"Just getting stuff ready. Its going to be busy today." He said as he finished organising all the baby's bottles and food.
"I didn't think we were going to be that busy today. How many are there coming in?" I asked him.
"Well, there are about 40 children in my room today, and there are normally about 45 in with you." Emmett said as he put the last few bottles in the fridge.
"Oh that's fine. I thought I would need to bring someone in, but we have enough staff here." I said as I went out into the baby room to get toys out. It wasn't long after that that Alice and Rose came into work, quickly followed by the first of the children that were in today.
Rhys was a 6 month old baby who had just started leaving his mother during the day, so things were a bit hard with him when his mother left him here, but once he was settled, he was quite happy to sit around and play with toys all day.
As soon as one came in then the rest of the children followed shortly after. The baby room was full all day, but some of the children in the other room came here after they had been to school. So the 3 year olds would come in by 1 o'clock and then the older children would be here by 3.
Once everyone was in, I had to organise the children to that they all had a carer for the day, but because it was impossible to have one member of staff to one child, everyone had to have at least 3 children to take care of.
By the time I had sorted that out, it was time for the children to have food. Esme had come in and made food for all the children earlier, so now all we had to do was round up the children. The older ones were easy, the babies, not so much.
"Rose, can you get all the high chairs out please?" I called as I went into the kitchen to make sure all the food was ready to go. Of course it was, Esme was here.
"Hey you ok?" I asked as I went into the kitchen.
"Yes dear, everything is fine. How are you? You have been so busy today, I haven't seen very much of you." Esme asked as she started putting food into bowls.
"Im fine. Its just a bit busy, but its nothing I cant handle. I was actually worried that everyone else would find it hard. Well everyone except Rose, she is brilliant at this." I said as I looked out the little window in the door and saw Rose picking up the babies and putting them in their high chairs.
"She always has been good with children. I know to some people Rose can seem a little sharp and mean, but when she is with children, you would never had said she is like that with anyone." Esme said as she began making sure all the children had their food ready.
"Yeah, well as long as she keeps working like this she can be around children as long as she likes." I said as I picked up a few dishes with the babies food in. today Esme had made spaghetti Bolognese and I knew that a number of the babies who were eating this today, were going to go home covered in a tomato sauce.
As a brought out the food, Alice was putting two of her babies in their high chairs.
"Rhiannon is going to need her bottle now. Can you help with my other two?" Alice asked me.
The two children that Alice had today, didn't have to be fed they could use a spoon, or their hands if they preferred.
"Yeah sure. I know these two can feed themselves anyway." I said as I put the bowls down on the tables on the high chairs.
One of my babies today was only 7 months old, and even though she was eating solid foods, she couldn't figure out how to feed herself yet.
As I started feeding my baby, I looked over at Ruby, one of Alices too see her moving her spoon around her bowl, but not really eating anything.
"Come on Rube, eat your dinner." I said to her, motioning to her bowl.
She looked at me, and then at the spoon in her hand. Carefully, as if the spoon was made of crystal, she put the spoon back on her table before she plunged her hand into her bowl, grabbed the spaghetti and put it in her mouth.
"Nice Ruby." I said as I left her play with her food. I know that most people would say, that children should be told off if they did that, but I don't believe it. There are so many things that a child can learn about through food. Apart from the obvious ones like taste and smell, they also learn about texture, mass, temperature. Granted, she did get it all over her clothes, and I would no doubt have to take them off her after she had finished eating, but that wasn't a problem. Children are suppose to get messy. It has surprised me for as long as ive been around, how childhood has changed so much. Children now a days are not given the time they need to be children, they are forced to grow up too quickly. So, when they are here with me, they can do what children are suppose to be doing at their age. Play and make a mess.
By the end of lunch, the day nursery was in full swing and the majority of children who were registered to be here were. Thankfully I had enough people here to look after the children, but no one could leave until some of the children did.
Every thing was quiet in the baby room, as the majority of children had gone down for a little nap after their food. There were only 3 children awake, and they were loving the fact that they had everyone paying attention to them. I went back into the office to see if there was anything that needed to be done just as the phone rang.
"Hello." I answered
"Bella!"
"Jasper, what's the matter?" I asked
"I need help." He begged.
"Why? Where are you?" I asked
"I'm in the house. Any had just come over here with the baby crying, saying something had happened to her sister. She needed you to watch the baby, forgetting that you was in work." Jasper sounded panicked.
"Oh no. where is she now?"
"She went to see her sister. And now I had Sain with me here."
"What? Why?"
"Because I couldn't say no when she was on the doorstep crying, not knowing what to do, so I said I would watch her until you came home from work, and now that I actually have her I don't know what I'm doing." He said. I could hear Sain in the back round.
"Right, this is what you do, use your empathic gift to find out when she is tired or upset and help her with that. If she cried for anything else, you are just going to have to wing it. What did Amy give you when she brought her to the house?" I asked.
"Um, a nappy bag with nappies, baby wipes, bottles and few jars of food." Jasper said to me. By the sounds of things, Amy was expecting to be away for a day or so.
"Ok that is fine. I'm going to be here for a few more hours. Sophie is coming here after school anyway, so ill bring her home with me and we will figure this out then. But for now, you are just going to have to look after her at home. I would say bring her here and ill watch here, but I'm going to be full to bursting in an hour or so. I'm sorry but you have to do this on your own. Ill try and get hold of Amy and see if she has any idea about how long she will be away." I said.
"Ok. Thankfully she likes me, so it shouldn't be too bad. I just couldn't say no to a crying women on the door step." Jasper said.
"I know and I love you for that. Ok, I have to go and ring Amy. Please don't break the baby and I will see you when I get home. Love you."
"Love you too. See you later." Jasper said before hanging up.
I sighed and leaned back in my chair. Before picking up my phone and attempted to call Amy.
