Chapter 3

BPOV

It's been eight years since I gave birth to my two wonderful daughters, Caroline Cornelia, and Helen Maria Barnum. I was so happy with the world that I and Phineas built but lately, it doesn't seem like enough for him but I'll support him with all I can. I was on the roof with the girls doing laundry while they were running around and having the time of their lives. I played along with their game and eventually let them kill me so, I can go back to doing the laundry.

PHPOV

I was at work waiting for the moment to catch my boss to talk to him about possibly being promoted and when I finally got the chance he only spoke to me briefly before calling everyone's attention to him.

"Our company is going bankrupt," he said. I was a little shocked but before I could say anything he handed me the papers to the ship that made the company bankrupt and just lost my job. I had no idea how I would tell Bella but hopefully, everything works out in the end. When I get home the apartment was silent so I made my way up to the roof and sure enough, I hear my girls laughing and having fun while Bella was folding the sheets. She turns around and notices me and came over to me,

"Well your home a little early," she said and I knew she was happy I'm home early for once.

"Yea and I will be for a while," I said to her handing her the papers that came across my desk.

"Well it keeps our lives interesting," she said to me with a smile and then turned to the girls,

"Look who just moseyed into the barn" when the girls looked over to me they got excited and ran over to me. I started to laugh when the jumped onto me and Caroline asked me what I got her for her birthday. I decided to tease her,

"What birthday?" I knew she knew I was joking around but when I put her down I grabbed my case and started to tell them of some blueprints that came across my desk and I started to make a wishing lamp.

Caroline was the first to make a wish since it was her birthday and she wished for ballet slippers. Hellen then made a wish to marry Santa and it made us laugh and tell her that it was a very good wish. Then Bella made her wish, it was to have everything as it was and will be in the future. I knew what she meant and I know don't what I will do until she is actually born in her time and how I know where to find. Once all of us made our little wishes Caroline walked off and started to sing Bella's and I's song.

Caroline both girls Phineas

Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake

I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make

Once the girls went back into the house I smiled at Bella and I still couldn't believe she was the one for me.

"So, how am I going to find you in the future?" I asked her. I know I could eventually get a way to find her but I have a feeling it'll have to do with her friend Alice.

"Well, when the time is right Alice will probably see you if she hadn't already and hopefully contact you even though it'll later hurt her brother," Bella said. I know Bella still cares for him despite what she had to go through but when I see him next I'll have to thank him. When Bella went inside I shortly followed her and helped tucked the girls in.

"You know, this wasn't the life I promised you," I said to Bella suddenly. She looked at me but I could see something in her eyes,

"I know but what do you call those two girls? Besides, I've done the fancy life and the Cullens were no better with fanciness. This is what I want and as long as I have you and those girls I'll always be happy." Bella told me and kissed me I hugged her tighter to my body as the kiss got more heated. I pulled away from Bella to pick her up bridal style and laid her down on our bed and started to kiss her again. Before I knew it our clothes were removed and were in for a very long night.

Next Day

I woke up early to get ready to head over to the bank, I'm hoping to be able to get them to give me a loan to open up my own business. When I got down to the bank I checked in and waited for them to call me in. As I was just staring mostly around the room I heard some laughter coming from the other end of the row I was sitting at but couldn't figure out where it was coming from. Eventually, an older looking lady came out of the office looking rather upset and called for a Charles.

"Come on Charles the bank will only lend money to those who have money," she said and pulling along with her is a dwarf size male (sorry if this description causes any problems but I couldn't find a better word for him.) with short hair and when they were passing me by he noticed my stare and said,

"What are you looking at flapjack?" before I could say anything or think on what to say I heard my name being called. I walked into the office and sat down in front of the desk then started to explain my idea to the banker.

"That sounds crazy, how could you think we would lend you money for something like that?" the banker asked me.

"I know sir but this is something extraordinary and they may not know it yet but their curiosity will have them come in," I told the banker with confidence,

"You know I will have to take major collateral," he said I didn't hesitate to take out the ship papers from my case and passed it to him. Once he accepted the collateral I left the bank and went to get Bella and the girls. As we were walking towards the building I decided to buy I told Bella what happened this morning.

"Why would the bank give us a $10,000 loan?" she asked me.

"I gave them collateral," I said to her.

"But dear we don't have any collateral," she said sounding a little worried.

"Sure we do in the South China Seas"

"In the South China Seas?"

"Deep in the South China Seas," I said as we went towards the building that I thought would be wonderful to start a business.

"And what did we buy with this loan?" Bella asked. Before I could answer Hellen did,

"Barnum's American Museum of Curiosity"

"what exactly are you showing people?" Bella asked me. When we walked in we saw Marie Antoinette got her head cut off.

"Wax figures?" Bella asked I smiled at her and saw the girls looking around,

"The place where people would want to see the most famous people in history like Marie Antoinette with a sore throat, Napoleon, but not all of them are made from wax. Meet the Great O'Malley!" I said with excitement.

"You don't look like a magician," Caroline said and O'Malley answered,

"I'm a thief," O'Malley said and Bella looked at me a little shocked that I would hire someone who would actually steal from me. Then I showed them the elephant that came from the plains of Africa and the girls were laughing away. I then showed them the tallest garaffe there is,

"Can we climb it?" I knew they just wanted to have a little fun but I still said,

"Absolutely not" the girls ran off and I turned to Bella,

"I know don't worry I know what this looks like," I said to her and grabbed her hands.

"I'd hope so because I'd be worried if you didn't" she replied to me.

"I mean it's just a little work but-"

"But the loan has to be paid back every month," she said to me.

I earnestly said, "I know we just need customers"

"Hundreds of them," she said still sounding a little worried.

"And we will get them," I said to her and then we made our way back outside to get our photo taken in front of the building. Once everything was settled we started passing out flyers just trying to get people to come and see the museum. So far nothing really worked we hung up flyers, handed them to people, but all we saw where flyers all over the road and sidewalk. I walked over to where O'Malley was at the ticket booth and asked how many tickets,

"Three" I then turned to see Bella holding up three for her and the girls. I was slowly losing hope for this to become a success. After Bella and the girls went home I stayed out till late at night then made my way back home. I knew it was silent because the girls were in bed but I saw Bella was fast asleep on the couch holding a piece of paper. I removed it from her hand and then pulled the blanket to her shoulder so she stayed warm. Soon I heard the girls calling for me so I went to their room to see what they wanted.

"Did you sell any more tickets today?" Helen asked.

"A few, yeah" I answered her while grabbing a book that was on the bed then continued what I was saying.

"Everyone was rushing home since it's Friday but we sold a few," I said to them softly. Then Caroline spoke up saying,

"I think you have too many dead things in your museum daddy" I tilled my head a bit and said,

"Do you?" then Helen answered saying,

"She's right you need something alive" I smiled a bit at them and knew they were onto something.

"Go to sleep, both of you" then Helen replied saying,

"Something sensational"

"Sensational that's a big word," I said to her.

"It's your word," Helen told me and then Caroline chimed in saying,

"Something that isn't stuffed like a mermaid"

"Or a unicorn" I just smiled at them knowing they were probably right, I left them and went back to the main room and I heard them saying,

"Unicorns aren't real"

"Well, mermaids aren't real either" I just sat at the table trying to figure out how to make this business a success. I saw the book near me but also the apple, then I remembered when an older lady gave me one when I needed food after my father passed away. I then knew what I wanted to do and knew it was a very bold idea. Once I was satisfied with this idea I headed off to bed after kissing Bella good night on her forehead.
