Jaspers POV

I watched as Bella left the house so she could get to work on time. I knew she was finding it hard to deal with the fact that Charlotte had left, and she was dealing with it by throwing herself into work. I knew she was doing something she wanted and enjoyed to do, but I wished that she would talk to me about it. I mean, I know how she is feeling inside, because I can feel it. But she doesn't talk about how Charlotte leaving has effected her and I think she is going to need to soon.

During the day when Bella wasn't in the house I didn't have much or anything to do, but today I needed to go hunting. It had been a while since I had been so I took this opportunity now I was alone to go. Bella didn't live as close to a forest or a wooded area as I use to live, but it didn't take very long for me to get there.

It didn't take me long to catch the scent of a group of animals. I ran after them anxious to catch them. I had only caught a wolf once or twice when I had hunted here. They tasted so much nicer that deer's did, mainly because they were meat eaters instead of herbivores and their blood tasted more like a human. I caught up to the pack of wolves quickly and found the one that I was going after. I separated the larger animal from the pack before it really started to run. I chased it for a while, simply because I fancied a run since I hadn't had the chance too for a while, before I decided that I was too thirsty to fuss around any more. I caught up with the wolf and jumped onto its back and sank my teeth into its neck. It yelped and struggled underneath me for a while before it stopped moving all together. I finished drinking from the animal and then I went and hid the body somewhere. I looked at my clock and realised that I had been out of the house for a little while longer than I had thought. Bella would be home from work in a few hours and I had forgotten to feed that animal that she owned. I had never been a cat person, I would much rather have a dog but Bella loved her, so I had to show at least a little restraint not to kill it. I got back into the car and drove back to the house and the little creature was waiting for me at the door.

"What do you want?" I asked the cat, as she walked over to me and wrapped herself around my leg meowing and purring, looking very cute.

(What? Just because I don't like the creature, there is no denying that she isn't cute)

I went into the house and gave the cat food. After that I didn't know what I was going to do before Bella came home. I was on the sofa and switched on the TV. I hadn't been sitting down for 5 minutes before there was a knock at the front door. I got up to open it to see Amy standing on the door step with Sain on her hip.

"Jasper! Is Bella here?" She asked, sounding a little out of breath and panicked.

"No she is in work. Why? What's the matter?" I asked.

"Shit, I forgot! I really needed her to watch the baby and Sophie after school." She said, putting her hand over her face.

"My sister has been in a car accident and I need to get down to her place like now and I cant take the kids until I know what is going on with her." She said as she started to cry on the door step.

"How far away does your sister live?" I asked her.

"Not far, I can be there with in the hour." She said as she wiped her eyes. Sain looked at her and touched her face with her little hand. Amy took Sain's wrist and kissed her palm.

"Ill take her." I said not thinking about the words before they came out of my mouth.

"Would you?" she asked me.

"Yes, Bella will be home in a few hours then she can make sure every thing is ok with her, but I think I can look after her until then. Go to your sister. I'm sure your mother and father are going to need you there." I said, as I held my hands out for Sain. Thankfully she liked me and came to me without a fuss. Amy handed me the bag with all the baby's stuff, kissed the baby and said good bye then thanked me and left.

After I closed the door I realised what I had done, and now knowing if I could actually do it. I know I had looked after the baby before, but that was when Bella was in the house.

I pulled out a few toys that Bella had in the house for when she had to baby sit the little ones and put them on the floor so that Sain could play with them. As soon as she was on the floor she began crawling around the toys, before picking one up and played with it. I sat on the floor with her, so that I could keep a eye on her while I called Bella.

As soon as the phone rang, Bella answered it on the second ring.

"Hello." Bella answered.

"Bella!" I didn't mean to sound so relieved when she answered the phone as I did.

"Jasper, what's the matter?" Bella asked.

"I need help." I sighed into the phone, putting my head into my hand.

"Why? Where are you?" she really sounded worried now. I needed to calm my voice down so that I didn't worry her any more.

"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." I explained everything as simply as I could over the phone. I looked up at Sain who was still content playing with the toys that I had put out.

"Oh no. where is she now?"

"She went to see her sister. And now I had Sain with me here." I said, looking over at Sain.

"What? Why?" Bella cried over the phone.

"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." I told her, running my hands through my hair.

"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?" Bella asked me.

I looked into the bag that Amy had brought with her to see what she had given me.

"Um, a nappy bag with nappies, baby wipes, bottles and few jars of food." I told her, as I pulled each idem out of the bad. When the food was out of the bag, Sain came over to me picked a jar up off the floor and put it in her mouth. Well, I'm guessing that means she is hungry. First job to do when I get off the phone.

"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." Bella said. I could feel her worrying over the phone. I didn't want to stress her out about this but I really did need help.

"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." I said, trying to justify to myself more than too Bella why I had taken the baby in the first place.

"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." I said to her before I hung up the phone.

I looked down at the floor to see the baby now banging the jar of food on the floor.

"Right, it looks like you want feeding. Come on, lets see if Jasper can do this without breaking you." I said as I picked Sain up as well as the jar of food that she had been playing with. I didn't know where Bella kept the high chair for the baby so I had to improvise. I piled the sofa up with cushions, so that she had something there to support her when I was feeding her, but that was about it. I hoped that the she wasn't a messy eater. Bella would kill me. I opened the jar and I nearly emptied my stomach from the smell that came out of the jar. How could babies eat this? Thank god I could hold my breath for a long because I wouldn't be able to feed her any other way. I put the spoon in the jar and Sain started moving her arms in excitement. I could feel how happy she was that she was getting her food. I moved the spoon to her mouth and watched as she opened her mouth and took the food in. She did spit some of it out, but I spooned it back in.

It didn't take me very long to finish feeding her. Obviously she was hungry. After she was fed, I picked her up and brought her back into the living room. I tried to get a gauge on her emotions, but I couldn't stay on anything. I decided that I could try and play with her for a while. I put her on the floor and pulled out some toys. And there I say for about a hour, while the baby crawled around the floor and played with the toys that were on the floor.

After she had finished playing with the toys on the floor, I could tell that she was getting tired because she began whimpering and winging. She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand and began to cry. I went over to pick her up so that I could take her upstairs so she could go to sleep in her cot. She nestled her head in between my shoulder and my chin. By the time that I took her up the stairs she was practically asleep.

I came back down stairs and looked at the time. Hopefully Bella would be home from work soon and I could stop worrying about looking after the baby. I tidied up the living room so that all the toys were put away, just as my phone went off.

I looked at the screen and answered it.

"Hello" I said

"Jasper,I've just got off the phone with Amy, she is going to be up her sisters until tomorrow afternoon. What happened wasn't as bad as what she had thought, but her sister is in shock so she is going to stay there tonight and come back tomorrow. How is the baby?" Bella asked.

"She is asleep right now. She hasn't long gone down. When are you going to be home from work?" I asked.

"I should be home in about a hour. We only have a few children left here and they are due to go home in the next half hour." Bella said.

"Ok. Is Sophie still coming back home with you?"

"Yeah, she is here with me now. Look I have to go, ill see you soon. Bye bye." She said before she hung up.

In the hour that I had left before Bella came home, I tidied the living room and made sure that there was food there for Sophie when she got here and checked on the baby a few times.

Soon enough I heard Bella's car pull up into her drive way. I looked through the window to see Bella coming in with Sophie right behind her.

"Jasper." Bella called as soon as she came in through the door.

I got up from the sofa and met her and sophie.

"Hi Jasper." Sophie said as she ran into the living room to play with some toys.

"How was your day?" I asked her as I leaned in to kiss her softly.

"Hectic. But nothing compared to what you have had to do this afternoon. How is she?" Bella asked, looking worried.
"She was fine. She ate her food, played for a while and then she went straight to sleep. She hasn't cried once since I put her down." I said.

"Oh good. Ill just go check on her and ill be back." She tried to walk past me to go upstairs, but I grabbed her arm to stop her.

"I checked on her a few minutes ago, she is fine. It actually wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. But, I mean, it was only one baby and this one likes me so I was lucky in a way." I said as I pulled Bella towards me and wrapped my arms around her.

"I have learnt to admire what you do a bit more today though. I know I said it wasn't hard, but at least I know Sain. You have to do it with babies and young children you have never met before, you're a braver person than I am." I said to her.

I could feel her kiss the underneath of my jaw before she spoke to me again.

"I'm not braver than you Jasper, if anything you are the brave one. I have always wanted to look after children. It was what I was put on this earth to do. You were not. You were designed to be a solider, but today you have shown yourself that you are able to challenge yourself and look after a child that is pretty impressive." She said, leaning up and giving me a small kiss on the lips.

"Right, we have another child to look after this evening. Come on, lets make dinner." She said grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the kitchen.

So a nice little chapter. Im thinking about having Bella and Jasper have some alone time in the next chapter. havent had them together for a while :) let me know what you think.
Right, a message for anyone who writes on here who is currently reading my story. Just somthing to be aware of, i have recently found out that one of my other stories has been copied and put onto another site word for word. I dont want this to happen to anyone else because it really is a pain in the backside trying to get the story down off another site when you havent been the one to publish it. The guys who run FanFiction have been a real help for me, but just be weary if anyone reads on other fanfiction sites.

Right that is out of the way. going to leave you now and think about my next chapter. I dont know when I will be able to update again becasue i have work due in every week for the next 3 weeks and i still need to write the essays. uh oh! :P So i will see everyone next time i update. Night everyone.
