Chapter 5: First day
~~~~ TSM ~~~~
On sunday at first hour Rosalie showed up with her children and Emmett in the house, waking Bella and Edward of their sweet rest.
- Where do you have the vegetables? - she asked checking the refrigerator, the children were in the TV room with Emmett taking care of them, Paulette was still asleep on the top floor.
- There is not - Bella yawned waiting for Edward to move away from the coffee maker, she urgently needed a large portion of caffeine to support the blonde woman - in the afternoon comes the boy who brings the pantry
- And what do you eat for breakfast and lunch today?
- We order food by domicile - Edward said, offering Bella the cup, and receiving a hot kiss of thanks.
- Well, that must change, - interrupted Rosalie- Paulette must eat healthy.
- You must have thought that before you didn't want her in your house - Bella sighed drinking from the cup - so please keep your "eat healthy" by yourself because we will not do it and you will not prepare anything in my kitchen.
- I have a long list of what Paulette likes and does not like, I just want to help you to adapt to the girl.
- Do what you want, in the speed dial is the number of the minisuper, call them if you want to ask something for Paulette- answered Edward taking Bella's hip that was about to finish the cup of coffee - we will go back to bed 'cause is too early for us, I don't want children running around the house or in the garden.
Rosalie was going to protest, but Bella and Edward had disappeared, she pick up the phone and called to the minisuper reviewing the long list that had taken about the absolutely necessary things that Paulette needed to have in the fridge.
Paulette came down 30 minutes later with her hair messed up and wrinkled pajamas, kissed Emmett on the cheek and went to the kitchen to find Rosalie arguing over the phone about the brands that Bella and Edward refused to buy, Paulette opened the cupboard and smiled when she saw that the strawberry juice boxes were in the place that Edward had said the night before bedtime.

Three hours later Rosalie and Emmett left after Alex had thrown one of the vases that Bella had in the room with the many roses that Edward gave her each month, Emmett had defended his son alluding that it was a simple vase that could be bought anywhere besides that, forbidding them to go to the garden was more than obvious that the children were hyperactive.
Bella had just rolled her eyes and forced them to pick up the broken pieces while the three children watched from the sofa very regretful, just as Paulette was completely staining her pajamas for the Danonino (1) that was eating standing next to Edward.
Again the three of them at home, Bella served Paulette milk and cookies while they prepared something for lunch, they didn't ask for domicile every saturday, that would be a rather unnecessary expense, but they loved to make Rosalie mad.
Paulette smiled when Bella left in front of her a stack of three "hot-cakes" with chocolate syrup and whipped cream, although the coconut milk did not please her.
The three of them spent most of the day in front of the television, Bella and Edward dozing on the couch while Paulette played on the carpet and watched the cartoons.
When it was time to eat Edward prepared pasta with green tomato cream, Paulette finished with half a paste on the clothes, Bella laughed to see his failed attempts to eat the spaguetti, she taught her to roll it on the fork.
At 6 o'clock Edward had Paulette sitting on her stomach on the sofa while they watched "Gray's Anatomy" and Paulette ate her last Danonino.
Bella frowned when Rosalie's truck came back to park on the sidewalk.
- We come to wish Paulette good night, - Esme said as she handed her a handful of Alice's clothes. - It's for Paulette, maybe she'll like it when she's older.
- It will be perfect when she is 10 - beated Bella causing Rosalie to get angry.
Good night never came because seeing Paulette still wearing pajamas and food stains, Rosalie became even more enraged and took her to bathe while Esme offered to enlist the bed.
- It's too early for her to go to sleep
- She must sleep properly, you will also have to wake up even earlier to take her to kindergarten.
- We will not keep her there
- Do you still have the ridiculous idea of changing it?
The next few hours Bella and Edward heard Esme's litany about how stupid it was to change the girl to a nearby school and hoy much Alice liked that kindergarten, because of her memory they had to leave Paulette where she was.
- For her memory, Paulette is with us - said Edward, frustrated by the situation, it was a kindergarten, she would stop seeing most of them when she entered primary school - we are not going to discuss what we are going to do with Paulette, if you wanted her in a school near your house, you would have stayed with her, that simple, mom.
Rosalie came with Paulette dressed in another clean pajamas, she prepared a light dinner, and brush her hair and braid it.
- Pick up your toys and go to bed.
- You don't have to do it - Bella contradict Rosalie, it was her fucking house and only she could say what was done - Matilde will do it tomorrow.
- Pau must learn to lift her things.
- You're right, but since it's my home and she´s under my care - said Bella, pulling Paulette until she've got Bella's right leg - I decide if I want her to pick up her things or not, as well as her bedtime.
- I only want the best for her.
- And I don't care what you think, so since you bathed and dined her , you can leave because it's too late for Esme to leave Carlisle alone and you have three children who need you even to look for their underwear.
Esme and Rosalie left the house completely enraged, Esme could not believe that her lovely and wonderful son was married to someone as unpleasant as Bella was, she did not even have the decency to thank them for helping them with Paulette.
- I'll take care of Paulette - saied Rosalie driving through the lonely streets of the residential area - I will not leave her alone, Bella will not scare me away with her nonsense

On monday morning, Edward was about to leave for work while Bella saw him from the bed with a frown.
- What do you think if I invite you to eat at the usual French restaurant? - he asked kissing her.
- I would love to, but we can't.
- Why?
- Children are not accepted
Edward nodded thinking for the first time to the many places they frequented and that now with the arrival of Paulette in their lives, they would need a nanny to have dinner only the two.
- Then I think we'll have to found someone to take care of the girl as quickly as possible - he assured making her laugh - call me if you have problems.
Bella nodded and accompanied him to the garage, it was so strange to say goodbye to him without opening the door of the car and wished a good day, it was strange to see him go in his car without her going in front of him, smiling in the mirror just to see it.
Bella came into the house with a smile on her face, she was so screwed when it came to Edward, she went back to her room to take a shower and prepare for the complicated day ahead, and everything revolved around Paulette, she really detested the idea of not being able to go to the office for the rest of the week, but it was better to leave things solved now than to wait to get complicated.
Paulette opened her blue eyes noticing that Bella was next to her.
- Good morning Aunt Bella
- Good morning, I need you to change your pajamas because we have many things to do, when you're ready wait for me down.
Paulette was going to talk, but Bella was already leaving the room with the towel around her body. She got off the bed and began to take off her pajama dress, leaving her panties with little hearts, she opened the box that had her clothes, Bella had not yet helped her to put her things in the closet. She decided on a yellow dress with ducklings, purple stockings and green rain boots, with everything in her hands she left her room and under the stairs, she left her clothes in the sofa and leaned on it.
Bella entered the television room noticing the bare feet that Paulette had raised, approached willing to reprimand her for not bringing shoes, but her little clothes left her speechless
- Why have not you dress?
- I don't know to how to dress me alone, aunt Bella, but here I have the clothes I want to wear.
Bella saw the exotic combination of clothes, shaking her head and taking the colorful clothes and Paulette's hand, taking her up the stairs again to the room where she spread the content of the box on the floor.
- What are you looking for?
- Something decent you can wear, we're in March Paulette, you can not wear socks and rain boots.
- Why not?
- Because you would be very hot and sweat like a pig in a pigpen.
- Can I have a pet pig?
- No, now get on the bed.
Paulette obeyed and waited patiently for Bella to dress her in pink shorts and t-shirts combined with her princesses' sneakers.
- Do you know the son of the long-eared bunny?
- I don't, I'm sorry.
- It doesn't matter - she shrugged, looking at his sneakers with loose shoes - we can learn it together.
Bella smiled at her and made a bow with the aches, she was not going to sing a stupid rabbit song to learn to fasten her shoes, besides she didn't know any song.
Before leaving the room she let go Bella's hand and went for her doll that was in bed. Bella waited for her to come out in front of her with the doll against her chest.
On the ground floor, Matilde was waiting for them, taking care of the mess in the room that Paulette had left yesterday after playing with her tea set and plastic snack.
- We'll be back in a few hours, if my sister-in-law comes just ignore her.
Matilde nodded and after handing her a packet of cookies and a box of strawberry juice, she continued with her work, Paulette did not dare to speak to her, every time she visited with her parent, Matilde never looked at her and the woman gave her a little scary because the wart she had next to his nose.

The first place they went was to the house where she lived with her parents, their things had disappeared completely only the sofas and the refrigerator were left in the lonely apartment, Paulette was sitting on the sofa while Bella talked to the man in charge of the building to cover the receipts that Alice and Jasper had not paid, as well as approving that the apartment was rented as quickly as possible.
Bella picked up Paulette before leaving the apartment, the only portrait of Alice and Jasper that was still in the apartment had been destroyed by her little hands, Bella could not blame her for feeling hurt, her little mind only knew that her parents were not with her and they left her with the uncles she only saw when it was her birthday or Christmas… or the needed them to pay the doctor's bill.
Even with tears in her eyes, Bella secured her in the backseat and the left the building for her next stop.
- Do you want a Blizzard from "Dairy Queen" (1)?
Paulette nodded, wiping her eyes with her doll's dress.

Hello girls,
I just got back from the camp I was in, and literally the first thing I did was publish the chapter. I like this chapter a lot because it's the way they begin to adapt to living as a family of three. I hope you enjoyed it a lot.
On the other hand, I'm not sure if I can publish the next weekend, because I have family commitments, but I will do everything possible to be able to.
Leave me your comments, criticisms, complaints, hate and love in a review.
