Chapter One
Bella Swan.
I woke up, to the sound of Zac crying. I sighed flipping my covers open and getting up to see him sitting up in his crib, his eyes red. Zac, my son, was nearly five months old, don't get me wrong. I love him to bits. Its just the fact I was in on this on my own at such a young that was the burden. If I'd of been more sensible, I wouldn't of gotten myself into such a mess.
Everyone knew how much of a mess I was. Everyone knew the story when I was knocked up by James. That's that trouble in living in such a small town when everyone's down each others throats all the time.
"Heyy shhh." I cooed as I picked him up, bouncing him up and down till be began to giggle. At least there was one good thing that came out of all the drama with James. I glanced back at the alarm clock, I sighed heavily at the ungodly hour, I'd have to be up in another two hours to help Renee with the food shopping. I looked back down to Zac, to see him sleeping with his thumb in his mouth.
I lay him down on my bed, making sure there was no way for him to fall off of it, before I lay down at the foot of it, long ways across my bed, settling myself back to sleep.
Charlie Swan.
Renee was fussing around his morning, the usual when she'd go food shopping, I'd of expected Bella to of had a mental breakdown with the way Renee always fussed about her, especially after all that trouble that idiot James kid got her into.
"Look after your grandson for a few minutes, I need to wake Bella up." Renee ordered as she placed him on my lap.
"What you doing keeping your momma up last night?" I asked Zac, whilst he pulled at my moustache. "Don't blame you, son. These woman are crazy." He babbled back giggling, this time moving to the top of my head to pull at my hair. I reached to pick up the remote and put a news channel on, there was never anything interesting on at this time in the morning. "Thanks buddy." I mumbled noticing he'd gotten dribble all down my uniform.
I considered changing the channel to some kids programme and quickly getting changed, but decided against it. Last time I'd left him alone, for a full two minutes, Bella had shouted at me.
"Renee! I need a new shirt!" I shouted up the stairs. Bella was the one who'd come back down, looking exhausted, holding a shirt out for me.
"Hey bubba!" She grinned, picking him up, and blowing a raspberry against his stomach that was showing just under his shirt, causing him to giggle. I didn't know how she had the energy in her to act like that. "We're going shopping with grandmomma" I smiled at my daughter as I took the shirt with me into the kitchen and quickly changed, before grabbing my gun belt out of a cupboard Bella and Renee both insisted I kept locked at all times.
"I'm leaving." I called up the stairs to Renee.
"Have a nice day!" She replied.
I sighed heavily, leaving the house and sitting in my cruiser for a good five minutes before pulling out of the driveway.
Deputy Mark gave me a grim smile as I entered the station. "Bad day, huh?"
"Tell me about it." He muttered as he put his feet up on the desk. "Feel like packing up and leaving this town."
I laughed. "I'm pretty sure Renee and I are ready to join you."
He snorted "I wish."
"Do it whilst your still young." I advised, slumping into my chair.
Renee Swan.
I drove the trolley down the frozen foods isle, while Bella played with Zac. "We need some mustard, Bella."
"No one of us eat mustard." She complained.
"It's good to have some just in case." I pointed out. "Say someone came over and wanted some.
Bella stalked off, grumbling something under her breathe.
I noticed a new face in town, a woman, a little taller than me with honey hair and green eyes, followed by a taller boy, which must have been her son.
"Hi, are you new in town?"
"Yeah." She smiled. "I'm Esme Cullen, and this is my son Edward."
"Hi." He smiled at me, before he turned his head to Zac, who was trying to grab hold of the boys clothes.
"I'm Renee Swan, and this here is Zac."
Edward laughed, and began playing a game with him, causing Zac to giggle evilly.
"Isn't he adorable?" Esme cooed.
"Mom, your embarrassing yourself." Edward mumbled.
Esme turned to her son. "You where just doing the same thing!" She laughed.
"It's different." He looked up at me. "Can I hold him?"
I nodded. "Go ahead."
"Is he yours?"
I smiled a little. I was waiting for this, and waiting for when she'd pull a face of disgust when she realised I was his grandmother. "No. He's my daughters. She's just gone to go fetch something for me. Speak of the devil." I smiled a little, as Bella came around the corner, holding a bottle of mustard, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion as she noticed the Red headed boy holding her son.
"Lucky girl to have such a beautiful baby." The woman cooed, confusing me. Usually women would pull a face and mumble something under their breathe.
Edward turned to face Bella, Zac clapping his hands together as his mom came back. Bella smiled at Zac a little, before blushing at Edward.
Zac managed to pull Edward closer to Bella, Edward handed over Zac to her. "Sorry." He apologized.
"No problem." Bella replied quickly, whilst blushing.
I looked back to Esme with a knowing smile. She returned it, as Esme and I continued talking as we finished our shop, and Edward and Bella walked behind us with Zac. Both Esme and I had pretended not to notice when they'd swapped phone numbers and email addresses, but both shared a cheeky grin. It was easy enough to tell they liked each other. I just hoped Edward wasn't like James.
