Bella cocked her head at me, confused. "Why would Renee get a sitter for me? She never has before," she said.
"I was ummm looking for a part-time job, so I was asking if anyone needed a babysitter. Then I got to your house and your mom's like 'sure' so here I am." I replied hoping she would believe me. I don't think she did, always the perceptive one she is.
Bella continued to star at me, "So the woman who is by genetics my mother, Renee, let a stranger take far of me for a week?"
It sounded terrible when she put it that way. So I meekly reply with a simple nod.
She smiled at me and said, "Well if we have a week together we might as well get to no each other. Want to play 20 questions?" She seemed so excited.
If a simple 20 questions game made her smile, then I could deal with it. "Sure, you can go first."
"Before we begin, let's go in the living room. I have cleaning to do." she said while I followed her into the living room.
While I sat on the love seat, Bella began picking up the ash tray. "Hey now, while I'm here I'll do the cleaning. All you need to do is do as I say." I said hoping it didn't come off as rude.
She turned to me and said, "If I cannot clean, then what shall I do oh almighty sitter?" She seemed so amused by this.
I took my role and said, "As the almighty sitter, I say this week we are going to have some fun."
Bella seemed very hesitant but agreed. "Okay, we'll do it your way."
She sat in front of me and started her questions. "So Edward, where are you from?"
"I am from Chicago, Illinois. So miss Isabella, what is your favorite thing to do?" that question should give me somewhere to start.
"Ugh I hate Isabella, it's so long. Well my favorite thing to do is read. For a kindergartner I can read on a 5th grade level!" she said. Yes, this is my Bella indeed.
"Well aren't we an avid reader. I can tell you are going to be very bright when you are older. As for you name, why don't you come up with a nickname?" I asked as I tried to help her along.
She looked up at me and smile, "I would love that Edward, no one has ever given me an option. Will you help me?" With those doe eyes, I couldn't say no. "Of course, Isabella."
She got up and grabbed a piece of paper and a pen. She sat on the floor at the coffee table and looked at me, "Will join me Edward?" Again, how could I refuse my future mate?

"Okay, I hate Izzy. Izzy is too rugged." Bella said about the first name we wrote down. I would suggest Bella right away, but I don't want to seem like I know it.
"What about Bells?" I suggested. She looked at me as if I was nuts. That's when I saw a little spark in her, "Are you kidding me?! Bell?! What is everyone going to say? 'Hey look, it's jingle bells falling down.' No Edward, no no no!" Well I guess I know she feels about that name.
"Okay, no Bells. How about Bella? Did you know Bella is Italian for beautiful?" I asked her. That seemed to get her attention. "I like Bella, short and sweet. But I don't know about the beautiful part." She looked so unsure.
"Bella, I like it a lot. As for the beautiful part, Bella you are adorable now. When you grow up, you will be a beautiful woman. Why not embrace from a young age?" I couldn't let her think so low of herself.
Bella looked up at me and smiled. She put her hand out and said, "Hello, I'm Bella Swan. So Edward, what shall we do now?"
"Well Bella, I am thinking am the park. Ever been?" I really was curious; surely she has been to the park.
As I looked down at her, I noticed she was a little sad. She spoke after a short pause, "No, I haven't. But I have always wanted to go. Can we do a picnic? Please?"
I just smiled at her and said, "Of course we can do a picnic Bella."
