Thanks for everyone's reviews, some of them make me giggle :)
By the way I love Jacob in this but it just feels right to have him as a bit of a prat, sorry bout that haha x
"I swear you two are related." Esme said in between laughing.
"God I hope not – that would be awkward." Alice muttered.
Chapter 4 – Cake and Sweets, Not so Good
The others ended up staying over at the Cullen's household and were woken up very early by Alice.
"Wazzgoinon?" Emmett said groggily as everyone else stirred. Alice had jumped on him.
"I've got a surprise downstairs!" She squealed excitedly.
"How've you had time to organise a surprise? It's nine o'clock!" Rosalie exclaimed.
"I've been up since seven." She shrugged. Their jaws dropped and Alice started jumping again.
"Come on hurry up and get dressed!" She yanked Bella and Emmett up and whizzed back out of the room.
Emmett shot Jasper an exasperated look.
"What?"
"She's your girlfriend!"
"She's your sister!"
"Hurry up!" Came her shrill voice. They jumped to it.
A while later they traipsed down the stairs and stopped in shock.
Alice was stood in the centre of the living room watching, with a smug look on her face, two young children running around.
"Erm Alice..." Edward started. The children immediately span round to look at the new group.
"Rosalie, Jasper can I have a word please? I got a phone call." She dragged them out of the room and began whispering furiously. They came back with understanding written on their faces.
"These two have to go home, Lillian rang before."
"Okay, okay but Alice what are these children doing here?" Edward asked.
"I said we'd babysit." She said with a grin.
"Right, and who are they?"
"Oh one of mum's friends kids." The six year old boy and three year old girl were very quiet.
"Well we've got to go now." Rose said, "Hey Emmett, fancy spending the day with me?" She winked and they all shuddered.
"Sure thing baby."
"If they're spending the day together we might as well." Jasper suggested. Alice beamed and nodded.
"Guess it's just you two then, sorry for leaving them with you. Bye, love you both, Esme will be back later!" The four of them left with Edward and Bella standing like lemons and the kids staring blankly at them.
"Erm..." Edward said awkwardly. Bella knelt down in front of them.
"Hey, I'm Bella and this is my – this is Edward, what are your names?" The girl looked at her brother for reassurance, he nodded slightly.
"I'm Bonnie, Bella's a pretty name." She said sweetly.
"Oh thank you Bonnie, I love your name too." Bonnie smiled, "And what about you?"
"I'm Jimmy."
"Nice to meet you Jimmy, what would you like to do today?" He shrugged, "Well would you two like to make a cake?"
"Yeah, Bella loves cake." Edward said, kneeling down, the smiled evident in his voice.
"So do I." Bonnie said shyly.
"So does Edward, he just doesn't like to admit it." Bella stage whispered. Bonnie giggled, "Come one then, let's go make a cake." She stood up and held out her hand. Bonnie took it and let her be led to the kitchen.
Several cracked eggs and split flour bags later they finally managed to slide the cake into the oven. Somehow Bella and both the children had become hyper so it was like Edward was caring for three young children.
"Come on let's get you two cleaned up." Edward said, "Or you three." He amended. He picked Jimmy up and let Bella pick Bonnie up. They carried them to the sink and Edward ran the hot water tap.
He placed a cloth under the clear, running water and wrung it out.
"Look up." Jimmy complied. The cake mix that somehow managed to get on his chin was cleared away and he moved onto Bonnie.
He looked up from Bonnie at Bella.
"You've got a little something there..." He reached up with the cloth and gently wiped her nose. Their eyes locked.
Hours or seconds later Bonnie giggled causing Edward and Bella to look sharply round.
"What are you laughing at sweetheart?" Bella asked, snapping out of it.
"Nothing." She sang, still giggling.
"Right, how about we watch some telly while we wait for the cake?" Edward suggested.
"Sounds good."
They made their way downstairs and Bella unearthed some coloured pencils and paper.
The children sat happily drawing and come to think of it so did Edward. The timer dinged and Bella jumped up to check the cake. She came back in the looking dejected.
"What's the matter Bella?" Edward asked worriedly. Bella's heart jumped.
"The cake's not ready." She pouted.
"Aww come and sit down and we'll show you what we've drawn." He patted the seat next to him and she sat next to him. Bonnie and Jimmy held out their drawings.
"Oh wow, they really are amazing." She took the park pictures and pretended they were good.
"You should see Eddie's." Bonnie said. Bella looked at Edward; he normally got so annoyed with anyone who called him that but he just looked at Bonnie fondly.
"That is good, thank you." Bella breathed. It was her. Exactly like her and drawn with such care and attention, "It's so beautiful."
"I just drew what I saw." He smiled serenely at her.
"Can we check the cake now?" Jimmy asked, interrupting.
"Of course we can." Bella smiled. She got up and all but ran to the kitchen. When the others arrived the cake was already in the centre of the table on a cooling tray.
"We have to wait for it to cool remember." Bella looked dejected again as did Bonnie and Jimmy.
"We'll go to the shop and get some sweets for on top, okay?" They nodded enthusiastically, "Okay, get your coats then." The children skipped back to the living room, where their coats had been draped over the sofa.
Bella helped them both pull their bright red coats on and thanked Edward as he passed her her own.
When they were ready they filed out of the front door. They clambered into Edward's Volvo and he pulled out of the drive.
"I like your car." Jimmy said.
"It's great isn't it? People say I'm obsessed with it – but I'm not."
"Of course you're not." Bella said sarcastically.
They arrived at the shop.
"Come on kids." Bella called. She turned round and almost walked in to a very tall person.
"You moved on quick Bells." Jacob said.
"Well you moved on before we broke up, now you're in my way." She shoved passed him and held on to the children's hands.
She disappeared into the shop and Edward tried to follow her.
"I will get her back you know."
"You know what? I don't think she'll ever go for you again. And get her back from whom? We're not together." Jacob looked surprised.
"I know you want to be though, I've seen the way you look at her –always looking at her like that, annoyed the hell out of me."
"Why do you even want her back? You don't have to sneak around anymore."
"No one finishes with me."
"Edward! Are you coming?" Bella called from inside the shop.
"I'll be right there!" He lowered his voice, "If you know what's good for you, you'll leave her alone – she doesn't want you." With that he pushed him away with such force Jacob stumbled a little.
By the time they came out of the shop Jacob had gone and the children – and Edward – were clutching bags of sweets.
------
"You didn't let Edward put sweets on the cake did you?" Esme asked in shock. Bella giggled, "Oh my gosh, Bella honey, you know how cake makes you hyper? Well sweets make Edward hyper too." She spoke as if Bella was a child. In fact the children were quieter than her.
Bella giggled again, "I'm sowwie."
"That's okay sweetie, I'm going to take these kids back, will you be alright?" She nodded, "And I think Alice wants to take you both shopping tomorrow." That snapped them out of it and they groaned simultaneously. Esme smiled triumphantly.
Esme finally managed to leave after promising two very upset children that they could visit next week.
"So that was fun." Bella said as she sat next to Edward.
"Yeah, I liked spending the day with." She blushed.
"Me too." He grinned like a maniac, "So what were you saying to Jacob?" She asked casually.
"He was saying how he was going to get you back and how he's seen the way-"
"We're back!" Emmett shouted.
