I DONT OWN TWILIGHT OR ITS CHARACTERS! it's a short chapter sorry...
3rd POV
"He's 69 years old." Bree added.
The entire room went silent. But not for long….
Victoria couldn't contain herself or the laughter that erupted from her mouth.
Laughter spread throughout the room like the bubonic plague.
The Cullen's had been very quiet. The boys were quite interested how these girls would handle helping their friend through this difficult situation. Especially Edward. Would the girls say marry the old man and have financial security or would they advise her to try and make it as a single mom.
"Guys, this is my life your laughing at." Bree reprimanded.
"Jeez… Relax mom." Bella said. And another round of laughter ensued between the girls.
"ha-ha laugh it up. I'm going to be a mom. Your hilarious." Bree stated in a monotone voice.
"Oh whatever, you have called Bella Mom too many times to count." Rose shot back defending Bella.
"Okay in all seriousness, she can't marry a man almost four times older than her." Bella said while trying to regain her composure.
"Why not? maybe he will die soon. Maybe you can poison him and say it was his time to go. He'll be so old they probably won't even do an autopsy." Victoria said.
"He's worth a lot of money. His kids will definitely ask for an autopsy." Rose said to Victoria.
"Okay, helpful ideas that won't lead to prison, please." Bella said raising her voice while rubbing her temples.
"Let's think about who we know. She needs a job, apartment and health insurance. So Job?" Bella asked.
"Oh, we need a coach for the mini tumblers at the gym." Victoria supplied.
"Get your phone and score her an interview." Victoria nodded her head and rushed off to get her phone.
"My cousin Gerald has this great apartment." Maggie smiled.
"How is that helpful? I'm close to living in a box." Bree snapped.
"If you would let me finish." Maggie glared at Bree. "I was going to say that he needs a sublet. And rent is very reasonable. I'll call him."
"Okay, Bree not only has the interview but I got her the job she starts Monday and it has insurance benefits." Victoria said as she walked back into the room.
"Okay, now we need to find out if Maggie's cousin will sublet Bree the apartment." Rosalie said.
"He will. I explained her situation and he will sublet the place for 600 a month. It's already got furniture in there too. He said he's near by and can come pick her up to go sign the paperwork." Maggie said holding her hand over the speaker to the phone.
"Guys this is great. But I still don't have any money to get started. My parents even took away the debutante money my relatives sent me."
"Okay" Bella said as she reached into her purse. She had received two grand from her relatives between graduation and her debut. Bella had had her eye on a white gold diamond bangle at Tiffany's, with the money she received by her family she could now afford to go buy it. But Bella knew if she had the opportunity to help someone else that she should. Bella fully believed in karma and that bangle just wouldn't feel as pretty if she felt guilty wearing it.
I want you to take this and take care of that baby." Bella said putting the two thousand dollars in Bree's hand and closed it.
"B-Bella, I c-can't.." Bree stammered with glossy eyes.
"Stop. You can and you will. Your going to be a mother soon. I would kill if it meant being able to take care of my child." Bella said pulling Bree in for a hug as Bree sobbed her thanks on Bella's shoulder.
"I get it now. Why you want the husband and kids. Knowing I'm creating a life is surreal. I already love my baby so much." Bree smiled wiping away her shed tears.
"What a touching moment." Victoria stated flatly.
"Well in any case here's some money for the all the stuff your going to need for the baby. Like a crib and diapers." Maggie said handing her a wad of cash.
"Here just because you're a mother doesn't mean you should let yourself go. Use it wisely." Rosalie said handing Bree a stack of hundreds.
"Ugh.. here just take my money." Victoria said.
Bree laughed and tried to give it back to Victoria but Victoria held her hands up in the air and told Bree she was just buying herself out of guilt.
"Seriously don't let us down Bree." Victoria said in a stern voice.
Victoria often played the nonchalant/whatever card but she was as loyal as they come and had a heart of gold. But she was always scared to let other people see that side of her.
"You guys I don't know what to say or how to repay you." Bree said.
"Take Care Of That Baby!" We yelled in unison. Gerald was there to pick Bree up to go fill out paper work for the sublet. They girls hugged her good bye one by one and Victoria shut the door behind her.
"Oh, I thought she would never leave." Victoria said.
"Girls, I think that was such a beautiful thing what you did for Bree." Esme said.
"I know how much you wanted that bracelet too baby. Bella has been saving her money for three years for this white gold diamond bangle at Tiffany's." Renee told the Cullen's as she kissed Bella's forehead.
"No its okay. Knowing I helped someone in need and a baby too, it outshines every diamond in that bracelet." Bella smiled before walking upstairs to finish getting ready for the day.
"Wow Renee, Bella, she is amazing." Esme said while pouring Carlisle a cup of coffee.
Edward wanted to go to Tiffany's immediately and buy Bella the diamond bangle.
Edward's fascination of Bella was starting to grow in adoration. He was most definitely looking forward to getting to know the Godiva eyed beauty.
I love Godiva truffles. Yummy. R&R!
