THE NEXT MORNING:
"Good morning" I said to Renesmee as I lifted her up into my arms and checked her diaper "Oh you're all dry today, come on let's go potty like a big girl"
"Where's cousin?" Renesmee asked as I untapped her diaper
"She went bye byes to go on an airplane. She'll be back soon" I said as I lifted her up onto the toilet
"No! No!" Renesmee whined "I'll fall Mommy I'll fall!" She cried
"Honey you're okay you're not going to fall in I'm holding you. Can you go pee or poop for Mommy?"
"No!" Renesmee cried
"If you go potty in your diaper as soon as you get off the toilet you're going to timeout" I said sternly "If you go pee I'll give you a cookie"
Renesmee smiled and about a minute later she peed. "Oh you're such a big girl. Mommy's going to buy you big girl underwear and a potty chair today"
After Renesmee was dressed in a pink winter dress with leggings and boots I made her oatmeal for breakfast with her cookie on the side.
"I want my paci" Renesmee said when she finished eating
"Baby you're a big girl now you don't need your paci anymore. Come on let's get your coat on" I said as I wiped her face before putting her pink coat on
"But I want it!" Renesmee cried as I put her on my hip
"Nessie stop. You can't have your pacifiers anymore"
I got my purse and everything ready before leaving the apartment and getting a cab. Thankfully Renesmee stopped her tantrum and fell asleep on the ride to daycare.
After I dropped her off I went to my casting call for a ZARA convention that needs models. I like this one better because there are also male models and I don't feel as much pressure. It's still a bit embarrassing when you have to be in your underwear in front of people you don't know.
The guy standing next to me as we were being measured decided to start conversation.
"Nervous?" he asked
"Not really. You?" I can barely focus on his eyes, he is so gorgeous with full muscles and light brown skin. He's definitely Native American.
"Nope. I usually do stuff like this, I'm guessing you're the runway type?"
"Oh no I do print work actually" I said as I put my arms up so the lady could measure my bust area
"That's good, I do a bit of both. Whatever I can to support my kid. Single father and everything"
He's cute and we something in common I thought
"You have a child?" I asked
"Yes my son's name is Seth he's almost three" he said
"I have a daughter too" I said "She'll be three in five months"
"Her father is lucky"
"Oh the father isn't involved. I've been raising her alone" I said
We would've been able to talk more but the director interrupted, "Okay I need all models to stand against the wall we're picking models now!"
The guy I spoke to is named Jacob, we both got a call back and he decided to join me for coffee.
"So Bella would you like you to go out sometime? Me, you and our kids?" he asked
"That's sounds fun but I can't just let anyone be around my daughter. I'm sure you understand"
"Yes of course so I was thinking, maybe next week after the convention we could to dinner?"
"I'd like that" I said "I don't get out a lot"
"Really? You look like you do"
"Well I used to go out a lot with my cousin, we used to model under the same company and go to parties" I said
"Why don't you do that now?"
"It's a long story" I said
"I have time"
"Maybe I'll tell you at dinner" I said as I got up "I have to pick up my daughter from daycare soon and I still have to go shopping. See you soon"
"It was a pleasure Bella" Jacob said his gorgeous brown eyes shining.
After I bought the much needed potty training supplies for Renesmee along with a blanket for her to replace her pacifier I caught a cab to her daycare. Edward called me as soon as I we got to the condo.
"Hi Bella how was your day?"
"Fine" I said as I put Renesmee down and turned on the television for her
"You're not going to ask me how my day was?"
"No because I don't care how idiots that leave their family spend their time" I said as I went to the kitchen
"That's a low blow and you know it Bells. I don't judge you about what you did to Rosalie"
"Because it's none of your business Edward, what do you want?"
"My mother has invited you to dinner with my family this weekend. She'd also love it if you brought Renesmee"
"I'll think about. I'd rather meet them without Renesmee or speak to your mother on the phone" I said as I made Renesmee a sippy cup of almond milk and handed it to her
"Thank you Mommy" Nessie said "You're welcome baby"
"That can be arranged" Edward said
"Okay. Are you still coming today?"
"Yes I'm on my way. I'm taking her to the movies"
"I didn't say you could take her that far Edward, you better text me all of your whereabouts" I said
"I will geez"
