I know that i promised that Emmett and Jasper would be changing nappies in this chapter, but i needed to come up with a reason why they would have to change Elizabeths nappies. This is just sort of a link chapter, so that te next one will make a bit more sense.

Thanks for all your reviews last time.
Anyway enjoy!

BTW: I dont own ay of the Twilight characters, if i did Jackson Rathbone would be my personal slave and finishing off my college work for me :P

Elizabeth was now 4 and a half months old, she had grown up so much in the last few months. She was starting to recognise the members of her family.

Next to me and Edward, she had really developed a strong bond with Alice and Jasper. She loved everyone in the house, but Alice and Jasper just made he happy. Alice was always there to dress her in nice clothes, and I had to admit, she loved it. I was starting to question weather she was my daughter. And Jasper was always there for her when she was upset and was able to calm her down and make her happy. I don't know if it was because of his powers, but she was always happy when she was around him.

I had gone back to work about a month ago and that gave Edward and the rest of the family to spend time with Elizabeth.

I had just finished a night shift at the hospital and was on my way home. I was so tired. I had been in work for 11 hours and I needed to go to bed.

When I got home, I could hear Elizabeth crying upstairs, Naomi was shouting, Edward was telling Naomi to get dressed for school. Do I really want to get out of the car?

Before I could drive away again, Jasper came out of the house and walked towards the car. He opened the door to the car and got me out.

"Bella, you need to come in the house now. It is havoc in there." He said.

"Why, what's going on?" I asked.

"Naomi is refusing to get dressed for school, Alice is burning Naomi's breakfast. Emmett is trying to change Lizzie's Nappy and its not going well." He said as he took my arm and walked me to the house.

"Jasper, all I want to do it go to sleep. Cant I go to work fro 1 night and leave my children with you without them playing holy hell?" I asked, it was a rhetorical question. Every time I went to work in the night, I always came home to destruction.

I walked into the house, and the sounds that I heard when I parked the car, were just amplified when I walked through the door.

Naomi was screaming at Edward, while Elizabeth was screaming at Emmett.

I put my bag down in the living room and walked upstairs to Naomi's room.

"I don't want to go to school. All the teacher does is shout at me!" Naomi yelled.

"Naomi, you need to put your shoes on otherwise you are going to be late for school." Edward said calmly, trying to stop Naomi from shouting.

In stead of talking back to Edward Naomi just screamed.

"Naomi swan, you put you shoes on now!" I said sternly as I walked into the room.

"I DON'T WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL!" Naomi yelled back at me.

I was in no mood to take this attitude from her. Naomi was standing on her bed shouting down at me and Edward.

I grabbed Naomi's wrist and pulled her down off the bed and walked her over to the corner of the room and made her sit down. She was crying at this point, not yelling.

"You sit there until you decide to let that attitude go!" I told her, as I walked out of the room. I told Edward to follow me.

"Are you sure that is the best thing to do?" Edward asked me as I closed the door behind me.

"It is the only way that she is going to learn that she cant behave like that. We are her parents and she has to listen to us. Now im going to go and save our baby from Emmett." I said as I walked into Elizabeth's room.

Emmett was standing by the changing table holding the nappy in his hand, while Elizabeth was lying with no nappy on crying due to the fact that she had powder all over her face.

"Emmett, what are you doing?" I asked, pushing past him, grabbing a baby wipe and wiping Elizabeth's face.

"I'm trying to change her nappy, but she isn't co-operating." He said, as I took the nappy out of his hands.

"That's because you blinded her with powder, of course she isn't co-operating" I shouted at him, as I put the nappy underneath Elizabeth and did the nappy up.

As soon as the nappy was on, she stopped crying.

"See Emmett, it isn't hard." I said as I picked her up and handed her back to Emmett.

I walked out of the room to go and see if Naomi was willing to put her shoes on now.

When I walked into her room she was still sitting in the corner, breathing heavily because she had been crying so much.

I went down to her level and looked her in the eyes.

"Naomi, I don't like to shout at you like that, but you cant shout at mommy and daddy like that. Now are you going to put your shoes on?" I asked calmly.

She nodded her head.

"Come here" I opened my arms and I gave me a hug. I kissed her on the head. I then let her go and put her shoes on.

"Right, go say sorry to daddy, then go have some breakfast before you go to school." I told her, as I took her hand as we walked out of the bedroom.

Edward was standing outside Naomi's bedroom. As soon as Naomi saw him, she jumped up onto him and hugged tightly.

"Im sorry daddy." She said into his neck.

Edward kissed her head.

"Its ok Naomi. Now go downstairs and have breakfast" Edward put her down and she ran downstairs.

Edward then turned to me and wrapped his hands around my waist and kissed me.

"How was your night?" he asked me.

I leant my head onto his chest.

"Long and busy. All I want to do is go to bed and sleep. I'm so tired." I said closing my eyes next to his chest.

"Well, you go to bed and ill take Naomi to school and ill see you when you get up" He moved me from his chest and kissed me again.

He walked downstairs to see Naomi in the kitchen.

I walked down to my room, closed the curtains and changed to go to bed.

I closed the bedroom door and got into bed and went to sleep.

I few hours later, I woke up. I wasn't going into work tonight so I had to get up other wise I was going to be up all night.

I got up and went to the bathroom and had a shower.

The hot water felt amazing and made all the stress that I was feeling this morning go away. I washed my hair and got out of the shower.

I went and grabbed a towel from the towel rack on the wall. I wrapped the towel around me and walked back into my bedroom.

I grabbed a pair of jeans and a top out of the wardrobe, putting them on before going downstairs.

When I got downstairs, Jasper was the only one in the living room.

When I got into the living room, I found Jasper lying on his back on the floor, holding Elizabeth in his hands and pushing her up into the air and catching her again.

I leaned against the door frame and watched as Jasper threw my baby in the air.

"Up and down" Jasper cooed at the baby as he dropped her and caught her again.

Elizabeth was laughing and smiling at Jasper the whole time.

"Having fun?" I asked from the door.

Jasper looked over at me and smiled as he caught Elizabeth.

"Hey Bella, you're up." He said as he got up off the floor, putting Elizabeth on his hip as he walked towards me.

Once Elizabeth saw me she reached out for me and I held my arms out so that I could hold her.

"How was your morning?" I asked Jasper.

He was sitting on the sofa now.

"It was good, we did have a small issue with the nappies though. Emmett still hasn't grasped how to do them yet." Jasper said while reading a book.

"I don't understand how he cant do them, it isn't rocket science. You take on off and put a clean one on." I said going over to the sofa and sat next to jasper.

"By the way, where is every body?" I asked, looking around the very quiet house.

"Edward has taken the dog for a walk, Emmett has gone hunting, Carlisle and Esme are in work and Alice and rose have gone shopping. And I have been left here to amuse this little thing" he said as he tickled one of Elizabeth's feet. She giggled and kicked her legs.

The phone rang and I gave Elizabeth to Jasper, who started to throw her in the air again as I went over to answer the phone.

"Hello?" I answered

"Bella, its Hannah. You ok?"

Hannah was one of the nurses that I worked with at the hospital.

"Hey Han. Yea im ok. What's up?"

"Well, you know that I got engaged right. So, I was wondering if you wanted to come to my hen weekend?"

"Oh I would love to. When is it?"

"Tomorrow. We're driving up to LA and going to have a fun, drunken weekend."

"Oh I need a drunken weekend. Yea, I'm in. What time you going tomorrow?"

"We are going about 10. We're all meeting in town and then driving down"

"Great, well text me later, telling me where you're meeting every one. See you tomorrow."

"Bye Bells."

And with that Hannah hung up the phone.

I walked back into the living room and sat next to Jasper again.

"Hen weekend huh? Good luck with telling Edward that" Jasper said bouncing Lizzie on his knee.

"Hey, I think I deserve a weekend away. A hen weekend is exactly what I need." I said.

"Yes I agree with you. you deserve a weekend away. But Edward may not see it that way." Jasper said.

"Anyway, I may not go on a hen weekend again. I need to make the most of it"

Jasper looked at me as if he knew something that I didn't.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked a little confused.

"No reason. Whoa, dirty nappy. All you Bella. He handed me Elizabeth and left the room.

"You do realise that you are going to have to change her nappy when I'm away." I shouted after him.

He appeared around the doorway.

"Oh no, that's what the girls are here for." He said, winking at me.

I picked Elizabeth up and turned her to face me.

"If Uncle jasper thinks that Aunty Alice and Rose are going to take care of you this weekend, well he is wrong." I told her.

She just looked at me and laughed and clapped her hands.

I picked her up and carried her upstairs to change her nappy.

Edward's POV

I had to get out of the house for a few hours. Elizabeth was sleeping, Naomi was in school and Bella was in work. I forgot how boring it was to be in the house when there was no one there. So I decided to take the dog for a walk while everyone else went and did their own things.

I was currently in the local park with Sammy. Thankfully, today was pretty over cast so I wasn't as risk of my skin sparkling in the sun. I was playing fetch with him, I never quite understood why dogs enjoyed chasing a stick, bringing it back and then have it thrown again so they can chase it.

I had been throwing this stick now for about half a hour and the dog wasn't getting bored, but I was.

I looked at my watch on my wrist it was nearly 3 o'clock and I needed to go get Naomi from school because I didn't know if Bella would be up yet.

"Sammy come on." I yelled and the dog came running back to me. I put him back on his leach and walked him back to the car.

Emmett had gone hunting, so that left his Jeep available for me to use. I knew that he would kill me if he knew that the dog had been in the back of his car. Oh well.

I opened the boot of the car and put the dog in. I went to the drivers side and drove to Naomi's school.

When I got to the school, it was nearly time for Naomi's class to come out. I got out of the car and went to wait for her to come out of school.

I watched as all the other children came out of school and went to their parents. I could see Naomi through the window. Why was she being kept behind.

Finally when all the children had gone the teacher came to the door to make sure that all the parents had gone.

"Mr Cullen, can I have a word with you for a moment?" the teacher asked me.

I walked into the nursery and looked at Naomi, who put her head in her hands. I knew she had done something wrong, I just didn't know what.

The teacher led me into a side room in the nursery where all the files were.

She gestured for me to sit down.

"Mr Cullen. Me and my staff are beginning to get a little concerned with Naomi's behaviour. For the last few weeks, she has become aggressive towards other children. We haven't had another biting incident, but she has been lashing out and hitting other children quite hard. Can I ask, has anything changed recently in your home?" the teacher asked.

"Well, we had recently had a new baby but that is the only big change at home" I told her honestly.

"Well that could be the problem. A new sibling is difficult for a single child to accept, because the baby required more attention from their parents. You don't have to answer this if you don't want to, but is she closer to her mother or to you?" she asked.

"Probably Bella, because me and my family have only been in her life for the past year." I told her.

Was Naomi behaving like she had been for attention?

"Well thank you for speaking with me Mr Cullen. Now I have some idea about why Naomi is acting so out of character, I wont take this any further. But if this behaviour get's any worse I'm afraid I'm going to have to speak to the head teacher about this"

I said thank you to the teacher and got Naomi and went into the car.

I put Naomi into her car seat that was in the back of Emmett's car and started to drive home.

"Naomi, you cant keep behaving like this. You know you are a lot stronger than the other children in your class and yet, you still hit them hard enough to leave marks." I said to her, looking at her through the read view mirror.

She didn't say anything to me, she just sat there in silence.

I didn't say anymore because I didn't want to shout at her.

"Are you going to tell mommy?" She asked from the back of the car.

"I have to Naomi. That is the second time in a few months that your teacher has told us about your behaviour. This weekend, you are to stay in the house where I can keep a eye on you." I told her.

She just looked away and rolled her eyes, I think she hoped that I didn't catch it, but I did.

"Don't you roll your eyes at me. Wait till you get home, you are going to get it a while lot worse off your mother." I told her not meeting her eye this time.

We got home about 5 minutes after she had rolled her eyes at me.

I got her out of her car seat and put her on the ground as she walked into the house. I opened the boot of the car and let the dog out. I had forgotten he was there actually.

I walked into the house with the dog walking behind me.

I watched as Naomi stormed upstairs not even looking at Bella in the living room.

"What's the matter with her?" Bella asked from the sofa.

"She has been hitting other children in school and I have been talking to her in the car" I said as I sat next to Bella on the sofa. Sammy came over and put his head on Bella's leg so that she could stroke it.

"She's been doing what!" Bella said angrily.

"Bella, don't get angry. I think I know why she is doing it." I gestured over to Elizabeth who was sleeping in Jaspers arms while he read a book.

"Elizabeth. What has she got to do with… Oh I see. She is doing it for attention." Bella caught on fast.

"Most likely, but I don't understand why. She knows that we have to spend a lot of time with Elizabeth. We spend a lot of time with her too, which is why I don't understand it" I ran my fingers through my hair as I spoke to her.

"We're going to have to speak to her about this, but we cant do it this weekend." She said as she stood up.

"Why cant we talk to her this weekend?" I asked as I watched Bella get up.

"Im going away this weekend, so that means you are going to have to look after the girls." She said as she wrapped around my neck from behind me.

"Where are you going?"

"LA, hen weekend." She kissed my cheek.

"So, you are going to leave me look after the girls while you go to LA drinking." I said.

"Yea basically. You wont be on your own though. You will have Emmett, Jasper and Carlisle helping you." she let go of my neck and walked towards the stairs.

"What about Alice, Rose and Esme?"

"The girls are not allowed to help you. I want to see how you cope with the baby with out the girls to do all the nasty stuff. Now I'm going to go upstairs and pack." She said as she walked up the stairs.

"Is she seriously going away for the weekend?" I asked Jasper.

"Yeah. And she isn't lying about the girls not doing anything." Jasper said.

I wasn't going to stop Bella from going out and having a god time, but we need to talk to Naomi about her behaviour. I was sticking by what I said in the car, she wasn't going to go out of my sight.

I know, it doesnt make much sense, but i needed a good reason to get Bella out of the house for a while weekend.

I have finished the next chapter and i PROMISE that Jasper and Emmett will be doing baby stuff next time. :D
Im going to go back to writing chapter 20 now. ive been going on a bit of a rant the last few chapters, kinda lost the plot of the story, but dont worry, it will be back at the end of chapter 19.
