This is just a small outtake. This is another plot bunny from the Facebook Twi-Fiction plot bunny farm. It also ties up some loose ends of questions from reviewers. Hope you enjoy!

BELLA POV

As I made my way upstairs, I looked at what used to be a perfectly white maternity t-shirt, to the now stained with dirty black handprints and had to chuckle a little. How does one little boy get into so much mischief?

At times, I wonder if this is Edward's personality of mischievousness genetically instilled in my perfect little boy.

Speaking of, I must remember to tell Carlisle that the date for Alice's parole hearing was coming up so he can take time off from the hospital.

After the whole kidnapping incident. Edward Masen II was disbarred and sent to prison for seven to ten on conspiracy to commit kidnapping. Tanya Denali who did the actual kidnapping, even though she was coerced by Edward III took a plea bargain and sang like a canary on the whole lot of them after she was seen on camera taking Xavier from the nursery. I could kill that wench for putting my baby at risk. He had to spend another three days under that damned light because of the time loss when she took him. She received three years in prison and three years on house arrest and five years probation. Alice, who was only a conspirator after the fact only received a sentence of five to seven years.

I ran my bath water, Fuck Carlisle and the not soaking in a tub. I need this after the day I've had. After placing the lavender bath salts in the water, I lower my body down in the tub and an audible sigh escapes me as I take in the soothing scent of the lavender and let the warmth of the water envelope me.

I think back over everything Xavier has gotten into over the years. No, it's not just Xavier and his penchant for mischievousness.

There was the time Heidi and Emmalee decided it would be fun to do each other's make-up using Rose's make-up kit.

Then there were the twins and their constant jailbreaks from the crib. CJ would get on his knees while Bella-Rose would climb on his back to climb over the rails. We eventually had to buy another crib and separate the two, however that still didn't stop CJ.

Then there was the time Xavier's perfect little angel face was covered in soot when he decided it would be fun to explore the exhaust of Uncle Em's Hummer. It took three baths to get all of the black soot out of his hair. I wonder how long before we don't feel topsoil on the bottoms of our feet this time? Maybe we should hire a cleaning service while we're gone to do a deep cleaning.

Then there was just last week when Heidi want to bake a cake for Daddy's birthday and was covered with flour from head to toe.

And then there's the time I asked the two of them, Heidi and Xavier, to clean up their room. Only to discover they threw everything out of the upstairs window onto the front lawn. YAY! That was really fun to explain to the homeowners association. The room was super clean though.

I don't understand how they can get into so much mischief. I don't remember ever being like this when I was a child. Maybe I should ask Renée. All I remember was I was always reading. It's not like I don't buy them books and games to keep them entertained.

Let's just hope little Allysen Carly or Allen Carl here has more of my personality.

"You will be mommy perfect little angel won't you?" I say to this Little Bean as I rub a soothing hand over my belly.
