Alice and Jasper promised us that tomorrow at noon; all of the stuff would be moved into the house. It was 9 pm and we were in bed.
"I love you, don't ever doubt it." Jake said.
"I love you too."I replied. I drifted off into a light sleep.
"Ness" A voice called. It was Jake's voice. "Ness, wake up." I started to open my eyes. I saw Jake looking at me. "Morning" He smiled.
"Good morning." I whispered. I suddenly got out of bed.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
"To make breakfast for you and Billy." I stated.
"Billy went fishing with Charlie." Jake told me.
"Well, then I'll make some breakfast for you." I smiled, and walked into the kitchen. I looked in the fridge. There wasn't anything for breakfast. "Jake! Do you want to go out to eat?"
"Sure, let's get dressed and let's go." He called from in the room. I just threw on a blue tank top and Hollister grey sweat pants. I grabbed my green aero jacquard jacket and we left to go to IHOP.
~~~*****at 12*****~~~
"Keep those blindfolds on." Alice demanded, as we were in Jake's truck, going to our new house.
"Could someone show me where Ness's hand is?" Jake asked. I giggled and blindly searched for his hand. I think it was Alice who put my hand in his. Jasper stopped the truck and opened Jake's door. Alice opened my door and helped me step out. I walked up a couple of steps and then through a door.
"Ok on the count of three." Jasper started.
"One…..two…three!" Alice and Jasper yelled. I scrambled to get my blindfold off. Then, I saw it. It was beautiful. There was a flat screen TV to my left, and to my right, was a kitchen with marble countertops all over the place. In front of me was an aquarium. I looked up, and saw a chandelier. I was seeking a staircase. It was in the far right corner. I looked at Jake, then to the staircase. Alice ran up the stairs, and we followed.
"This is your room." Alice said, motioning like Vanna White. It was a large circle bed with tons of colorful pillows, and above it was a canopy. I jumped on the bed, with Jake following. I held my hands out.
"Am I in heaven?" I asked, everyone laughed.
~~~***Later that day***~~~
I went up to get groceries, for Jake and Billy. Of course Jake came with me. When I passed the milk I saw a board. Job opening at the Daycare House for Children and Infants
I grabbed the paper and put it in my purse. When we got home, I rummaged through my purse until I found it. 253 Georgia Lane, interviews start at 5:30
"What is that?" I heard Alice ask. I turned around,
"Um, I was thinking that I could apply for a job, you know, since I have nothing better to than sit home all day, And I need the experience some time and,"
Alice cut me off, "Of course, I understand."
I nodded, "What time is it?"
"5:15."
"Well, I better get going." I grabbed the keys and yelled throughout the house, "I'll be back soon." I changed to a whisper, "See you, Alice." And walked to my car. This could really be the job for me, I mean, what am I supposed to do? I searched for the building. When I found it, I realized that it was very colorful and child-like on the first floor, and on the top floor, it looked like a regular house. I never really had a natural, human childhood, but, maybe with this job; I could imagine what it could have been like. I opened the door and saw a dark brown haired girl, around 20-25 years old.
"Oh! Hello." She said.
"Hi, um I would like to apply for a job here." I stated confidently.
"Well, you came to the right place." She paused, and then gasped, "Oh, I am SO rude. My name's Madelyn." She said, and then stuck out her hand. I shook it and said,
"My name's Renesmee, but I prefer Ness, it's a lot easier."
"Well, let's sit." She said, motioning to the table and chairs near a kitchen-like area. "So, have you had a job before?"
"No." I said.
"Well, if you were to get the job, then you would get $100 or so, depending on which kids you watch over, and how happy they are when they leave. I've worked alone so far, but I was thinking that I could have some help with the kids. My own kids come here every day, minus Saturday and Sunday, and I look after 5 kids, but recently, I got 2 more and it's a handful."
The conversation went on and on then she said,
"Well, I'll call you back. Bye!"
I waved as I walked to my car, "Bye!"
When I got home I heard Alice making supper.
"How was the interview?" She asked
"Great. She's a really nice girl." I answered.
~~**The next day**~~
It all started with a phone ring. It was 6 am and I was brushing my teeth.
"Hello?" I opened my cell.
"Hey Ness, this is Madelyn. Last night was an epic fail for interviews, you were the only one to show up and, well, do you want the job, today, I mean I can show how to do everything and…" She trailed off.
"Yes! Of course! I'll be there ASAP!" I said, and hung up the phone. I changed my clothes and made my way to the bottom of the stairs. "I got the job! I start working today, and well I have to go!" I hopped in my car and smiled. I got to the center and walked in.
"Ness!" Madelyn said.
"Hey there, mind showing me the way all of this works?" I asked.
"Of course!" she said. She showed me most things then she motioned to her kids. "This is Cecelia, but I call her CC," She hugged the curly blonde haired toddler who looked about a year or so old. She caught the little boy running around the room. "And this is Cole." He had dirty blonde hair and was around 3. Then a mom came in with a carrier. She took the tiny baby out and handed it to me.
"So you have a helper now, I see." She said, looking at Madelyn.
"Yes,"
"My name's Ness, nice to meet you. What's this cutie's name?" I asked, cooing at the 1 month old baby.
"Nora." She said, glancing out the door. "Well, I'll be back later." She left
"Do you want to take care of Nora today?" Mady (Madelyn) asked.
"Sure." I said. More kids came in, with the names of: Damian (4 years old), Faith (2 Years old), Halley (3 years old), and Peter (1 year old.) Nora was the cutest baby I've ever seen. Things were pretty calm. A couple little fights of a toy, and a couple time-outs, but it was calm.
"Sometimes, it's much worse." Mady said, as she sipped her coffee and put it in the far counter, as Halley came up to her as she was crying.
"What's the matter honey?" Mady asked. I didn't listen after then, I just watched the baby in my arms. Then it was lunchtime. Mady gave me the baby carrier thing that went around your chest, and I put it on. (A/N: Could someone review and tell me what that is called?) I put Nora in it and started rounding up the kids.
"Hey guys, lunchtime." I called, and felt a tugging on my pant leg. It was Cole.
"Can I sit by you?" He asked.
"Sure honey." I said. "Oh, and get your cups everyone." They got all rounded up and sat in their chairs. I put Nora in a bouncer on the chair next to me. Then Mady got a call.
"Hello?" She asked. "O my gosh. What about Nora? Ok, well…" She walked out of the room, and into the bathroom.
"Where'd Mady go?" Damian asked me.
"Nowhere, just keep on eating your lunch."
~~**At closing time**~~
Peter waved as he left and we returned the wave.
"Will you tell me about that call that you got at lunch?" I asked Mady. I was feeding Nora and she was rocking CC back and forth at the rocking chair corner.
"Yes." She paused. "Nora's mother committed suicide."
My jaw dropped. "So is she going to her mother's friends or what?"
"No. Her mother-Jill was not that friendly, so she had no friends." She explained.
"Grandparents?"
"Dead."
"Where is she going to go?"I was very concerned.
"I was hoping that you could take her, possibly. My husband left me, and it's hard enough to take care of these 2, not that I couldn't do it, but it's just…." She trailed off. "I'll lend you all of the things she needs."
What could I say? What did I want to say? I looked down at the tiny baby in my arms. She looked up at me and studied my face.
Cliffy! What will she say? Next chapter, someone leaves. That's all I'm telling you.
