1 I bent down to hold my now bruised shin. That little girl could kick!

" Emmy, apologize" Bella scolded her

"No. He made you cry." she glared at me

"honey, I was crying before. Edward just found me here. I'm sorry, it was my fault"

"You say sorry too much" she tilted her head back to look at her mom.

"And you don't?"

"Sorry Edward. I jumped to conclusions and kicked you" Emilia came over and hugged my waist.

"Thank you. I'm sorry I made you think i made your mom cry. I wouldn't do that."

"M'kay" she smiled and skipped over to Alice and grabbed the plate. "Here Edward."

"Thank you" i smiled down at her then looked at bella "Can I have a word with you?"

She nodded and followed me into my office. We watched and Alice and Emilia raced each other out the door. She sat down in the chair across from my desk as I perched on the corner of it.

"Do you want to talk about what just happened?" i asked

"Not really. But I will tell you that being lost in that room just brought on flashbacks. I'm sorry if I scared you. It wont happen again."

" Okay. But if you want to talk I'm here."

"Thank you. And you will be the first to know." she smiled and walked out.

What is this woman doing to me?? I went from all work and no play to always having bella on my mind. Ugh, I'm so confused. And right on time, Jasper entered my office.

"What has gotten into you? I have had four phone calls about how you havn't turned in the report you said you would have."

"Your niece and sister" i exhaled a breath that i had been holding hoping it would clear my mind.

"What about them?"

"I can't concentrate when your sister is around and i keep eating sandwiches made by your niece. It's messed up my schedule."

"So you don't have time to actually enjoy peoples company?"

"Not when you are going to be a king."

"But you are only a prince right now. Enjoy it. Listen, were going to the park, why don't you come with us?"

"Let me finish this report, then i will come".

"Good, see you then"

I went straight to the report and finished quickly. I then sent it to everyone who needed a copy and shut down my computer. I ran to my room and changed into comfy jeans and a marvel comic t-shirt. I ran down stairs and was stopped by Emilia.

"I love spider-man!" She pointed to my shirt and jumped up and down.

"Me too!" I laughed. I had always loved kids but never truley had the time to play with them so I would enjoy this.

"Mommy likes batman better" she said

"That's not fun. Batman is a normal guy. Spider man has powers." I said in a 'duh' tone, like it was the easiest thing to understand.

"That's what i told her but she didn't listen."

"Because it's easier to believe that a normal guy could save people then a guy bitten by a spider." Bella said from behind me and Emilia giggled.

"You don't understand the definition of hero then,"

"But a hero is just a person who is braver for longer then the rest."

"You got me there" I admitted

"Exactly. Now lets go to the park"

"Who wants a piggy back ride?" I said looking at Emilia

"I want one but since mommy can't walk on a flat surface, she needs it more."

"Very noble of you" i laughed at how she acted older then her age. "You heard your daughter. Up you go" I bent down at the knees so she could jump onto my back.

"Pay backs little girl" she pointed at her and smiled.

"Mommy, I can run, you can't." she smiled

"But I can" I said and smiled back

"No fair" she stuck her little tongue out at me and ran away.

"Are you going to get on, on your own free will or and i doing it myself?" i questioned.

"Fine" she climbed onto my back "Please don't drop me"

"Never" I promised
