Chapter eight

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Alice's POV

Remember Alice, he needs his bottle in a half hour, there are snacks in his bag and some toys. If he gets cranky his blankets in his bag too. Just let him lay with it and he'll be fine." I rolled my eyes at Bella. She was such a worry wart.

"Yes Bella, I know. Go have a good time, don't worry about us. We'll be just fine."

"Ow. Cut it out kid." I heard Emmett say from the living room. Bella looked like she was going to run in there. I pushed her out of the house and shut the front door. I locked it just in case she tried to come back.

I walked into the living room and cracked up laughing. Emmett was crawling around on the floor while Bentley just laid there on his belly and laughed.

"Come on little man." Emmett said to him. "Get moving."

"Emmett." I said as I walked over and picked Bentley up of the floor and sat on the couch with him. "He's not going to crawl just because you do. But it would have made a good picture."

I smiled at the though. That would have been the perfect picture for this year's Christmas cards.

"So, what do we do with him now?" Emmett asked and took Bentley from me. I shrugged. What do you do with a four month old baby?"

"Bath him? I bet Bella would really appreciate that." I suggested. Emmett looked scared then handed Bentley to me.

"All the power to yeah. I'll be in my room." He tried to walk away but I grabbed his arm.

"Nice try Emmett. I need your help."

"Alice, what if I drop him?" Emmett asked as he held a naked Bentley as far from him as possible while I started the water for his bath. "I don't need Bella killing me because I drown her only child."

I rolled my eyes. "Would you rather wash him instead then?" He started violently shaking his head.

That's what I thought.

"Man little dude! I'm just as wet as you!" Emmett said as he leaned back from the bath tub as much as he could without letting go of Bentley. Bentley was kicking and splashing water all over the place and of course Emmett was getting the worst of it. I couldn't help but laugh.

Everything was going great. We were all just sitting on the couch after Bentley's bath watching some cartoon with bright colors when all of a sudden he started crying.

"Emmett, what did you do to him?" I asked and took Bentley from him. Emmett looked just as confused as me.

"I didn't do anything!"

Crap!

"Take him again please. Bella told me to give him his bottle and I forgot."

"Good thing she left you in charge." Emmett said and started to rock an angry Bentley.

I left the living room and went into the kitchen to heat up a bottle. The water was taking forever to boil and Bentley seemed to be getting madder by the second. I went in the freezer and pulled out a freezie stashed in the back for when my little cousins came over.

"Here." I said and handed the freezie to Emmett. "Give him that for now." Emmett raised an eye brow at me.

"Should he be eating this?" He asked.

I shrugged "I guess. It's just frozen water. It won't kill him."

He looked at me funny for a minute then stuck the tip of the freezie in Bentley's mouth. He instantly became quiet except for a few sucking sounds. I stood there feeling smug for a few minutes and watched Bentley suck at the frozen treat. That's when I remember the bottle.

I ran into the kitchen and the water was boiling over the edge of the pot. I quickly grabbed the bottle from the pot then dropped it in the sink.

It was burning hot.

"Crap." I muttered to myself.

I ran the bottle under cold water until it seemed cool enough for Bentley to drink.

When I walked into the living Bentley was just finishing up the last of the freezie. I handed Emmett the bottle but Bentley pushed it away.

"Maybe he's full?" Emmett said and put the bottle on the coffee table.

"I can't see a freezie filling him. Maybe he needs to be burped?"

Emmett placed Bentley on his chest then started patting his back.

No burp.

"Maybe he needs his diaper changed?" I suggested.

We brought Bentley up to my room and laid him on my bed. He smiled up at me and Emmett.

"He's all yours." Emmett said. I knew there was no pointing in fighting this one. I took of Bentley's diaper and sure enough, he was full.

"Can you stand here with him while I get his wipes?" I asked Emmett. He looked hesitant but went and stood in front of him.

Stupid move.

"Ahh!" I heard Emmett yell and jump back. He turned to face me and he had pee dripping down his face and onto his shirt. I tried to hold back my laugh, but couldn't.

"I don't find this funny Alice." I waved him off and kept laughing.

"Can you get me the baby powder out of his diaper bag?" I asked. I knew there was no way I was getting him to stand here with him again.

"I'm going to hold up his legs and you just squirt some on his butt."

Emmett twisted the cap of the baby powder and squirted.

Nothing came out.

He twisted it again and squirted.

Nothing again.

"What is wrong with this stupid thing?" Emmett said frustrated and started shaking the bottle. The next thing I saw was the cover of the baby powder come flying off and baby powder go all over the place.

"What the hell?" I turned and saw Edward standing in the door way, covered in baby powder, with Bella behind him snickering.

Emmett's in for it now.
