Disclaimer: Although I have manged to take over the world, I have yet to own Twilight... so *Sigh* No Sparkly vampires for me... TT~TT

Chapter 1

My name is Isabella Swan, but please just call me Bella. I am 22 years old and single. 5 years ago, when I was 17 I met the love of my life, Edward Cullen, but of course he hadn't loved me back and ended up getting some girl pregnant senor year.. Being the 'honorable' man that he was, he got married to the girl, and had the baby. Shortly after he moved away with them without so much as a goodbye, or an apology, and I haven't seen him since. Not that it mattered anymore, I had moved on. My friend Angela tries setting me up with a few dates, but they all ended in disaster. Not because there was anything wrong with me, I had been told over and over how pretty I was, and smart and talented (not that I believed them), but because all the guys were total asses. The guys in Forks just weren't attractive anymore, not that they really were before. So I ended up moving just out of Forks, where I opened up a small animal shelter for wolves. Why wolves? Well... I wasn't entirely sure, but I did, so there.

But this story isn't about me opening a wolf shelter, although it is a part of it...

-Sunday-

I heard a loud knock on my front door... ug, it was too early for this. Who on earth could be up at this hour? I got up slowly, not bothering to change out of my PJ's, or rather, my shortvblack shorts and spaghetti strap top. I pulled on a light silk robe and some fuzzy slippers before trudging down the stairs. I opened to door to see... Mike Newton, standing at my door. He was one of my friends from high school, he, Jessica, Angela and Ben, had for some reason decided to move with me and together we had practically bought out the whole neighbor hood (the very small neighborhood of about 5 houses and tons of land... perfect for an animal sanctuary).

"What do you want Mike?" I asked tiredly. He should know by now not to wake me up early...

"Morning Bells..." he said looking me up and down, taking in my half dressed body. Mike, who despite being married to Jessica and having 2 kids, still had a crush on me, which was why he probably decided to move his family near me. "I just came over to ask if you could watch the girls for a bit."

"Now?"

"Yeah... Jessica and I have to go out of town for a few days-"

"Wait, what? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Well Jessica said you'd kill me if I woke you up too early-"

"No! I mean why didn't you tell me a few days ago? Why do you have to suddenly leave? Who's going to help me take care of the wolves?"

"I'm sorry Bella, Jessica just found out that her great Aunt died, and we have to rush over for the funeral-" He tried to explain in a rush. I stopped him and sighed.

"Ok ok! I'll take the girls, how long are you going to be gone for?"

"Just for the weekend, we'd leave them with Angela if not for the fact that she's still in the hospital." Ben and Angela had just had their 3rd child, and Angela was still in the hospital for a few more days.

"Crap! I just realized I have to go pick up Lizzie and Robert too..." Lizzie and Robert were Ben and Angela's other kids.

"Are your sure it won't be too much for you to handle? All four of the kids?" Mike asked worried. We both heard Jessica yell at him from across the street to hurry up.

"I'll be fine, "I assured him, 'Now go before your wife kills you."

"Thanks a bunch Bella!" He said running off. Jessica walked over a few seconds later with Katie and Julie in her arms, both of them sleeping.

"Thank you so much for doing this for us Bella." Jessica said handing me the girls. "We are forever in your debt."

"it's no problem really, sorry about your great Aunt, hope you have a safe trip."

"Thanks, bye Bella, bye girls. " She quickly kissed her kids good bye before running back across the street and and driving off with her husband. I watched them drive away before going to the kitchen to look at the clock. It was 11:00, I had a few hours before I needed to drive up to Forks and pick up Lizzie and Robert from their grandmother's. I gently put the girls on the couch, put some pop tarts in the toaster and went down stairs to check up on the wolves.

Ok I know it sound weird, to have wolves in your basement, but that was where some of the tamed ones slept, there was a large doggie door for them to come in the house and out into the woods as they pleased. Only 5 wolves actually enjoyed being inside. Jacob, Seth, Quil, Embrey, and occasionally Sam. They were some of the fist wolves I rescued. Leah, who I rescued after them, was still a little wary of me and liked to keep her distance. Jacob, however, loved me and was constantly begging for my attention. I crept down the stairs and unlocked the gate that kept them from exploring my house at night. Jacob was already awake and smiled his goofy dog grin at me before jumping up and coming over for me to pet. He walked outside with me to the actual shelter. I had about 20 wolves here at the Shelter, each one had their own pen, although most of them preferred to sleep in the big ones together like a pack. A gate surrounded a 100 acre area of land that was my sanctuary. Lots of people came and visited the shelter like a zoo, we had a small gift shop and a sporting goods store (thanks to Mike's parents) and all the rest was pure forests and woods for the wolves to run and play in. Since it was the weekend, we had no visitors, so it was perfectly safe for me to open all the pens and let the wolves run free through the woods. I stopped bye the warehouse that I kept the meat in and dragged a few carcasses to the center were the wolves fed. Several of them came up to me so that I could pet them, a few others were more cautious. I could always tell which ones were which, based on their markings and personality. Jacob followed me around the whole shelter as I individually checked each wolf and cleaned each pen.

"Aunt Bella!" Katie shrieked as the girls ran into the wolf exhibit to hug me. The wolves ignored them, they were used to little kids running around their pens.

"Well, you two finally woke up." I said hugging them back. Jacob barked his complaint and the girls turning to hug him to.

"Were are Mommy and Daddy?" Julie asked.

"They had to drive far away to go to a funeral."

"Oh... When are they coming back?"

"In a few days."

"Do we get to stay with you?"

"Yup! And so are Lizzie and Robert, we're going to go pick them up in a little while."

"Yay!" The girls exclaimed. I looked at my watch and almost passed out. We were going to be so late!

"Ok girls, we got to go right now if we want to make it on time, so everyone into the car!" I yelled. The girls obeyed and ran back inside, up the stairs, and then back outside to the car. I followed them, grabbing the pop tarts out of the toaster, and Jacob trotted behind me. All four of us (Wolf included) climbed into the car and drove to Forks.

When we got there, Lizzie and Robert were already waiting on the front porch with their bags. The grandparents were just inside, getting ready to go to a 30 year reunion.

"Hi Mr. and Mrs. Webber." I said nodding to them as I picked up the twins bags.

"Oh Hi Bella, we were worried you weren't going to make it in time." Mrs. Webber said waving.

"So was I. Well, I'm going to go ahead and take the twins off you, and head back home now." I said heading back to the car.

"Bye Bella!" Mr. Webber called.

"Bye!" I called back. Lizzie giggled when Jacob bounced out of the car and licked her face

"You brought Jakey!" She squealed, hugging the gigantic brown wolf.

"Of course I did! He wanted to come and great you." I strapped them in their car seats before Jacob jumped back in and I drove away back home.

"Guess what Lizzie!" Katie cried, "We're gonna stay with Aunt Bella too!"

"Yay! We can have a sleep over!" Lizzie squealed back.

"No Boys aloud!" Julie exclaimed.

"Hey! No fair! Aunt Bella! Julie is being mean!" Robert complained.

"That's okay Robert. She's just joking, no one is going to be excluded."

"What's excluded mean?" Katie asked wide eyed.

"It means left out. No one will be left out." I explained.

"Ooooooh." All four of the little kids said."

The ride home was rather short and soon we were all home. The sun was going down, so I put the kids on front of the TV for a few seconds as I herded up the wolves and put them all back in their pens so that they would be ready for tomorrow, when the visitors come.

"Aunt Bella... Will you help us make a fort?" Robert asked when I came back in, shutting the gates behind me.

"Sure, where should we make it?"

"Can we make one in the living room and watch movies?" Julie asked.

"Of course, now... where are all my blankets..."

Together we made a huge blanket fort in the living room and shortly after, all the kids fell asleep watching Toy Story 2. I tucked them in, under the fort and then made my self a little bed on the couch in case one of them woke up in the middle of the night.

(Just so you know, Lizzie and Robert are Twins, age 5, Julie is 4 and Katie is 3...)

-Monday-

Knock knock...

Ugggg! How many times in a row must I be woken up by guests at my door?

"BELLAAAA! WAKE UP!!" Emmett, my older brother yelled from outside. It was followed by a hard smack, probably given to him by his wife, Rosalie. I quickly got of the couch and opened the door for them.

"Good Morning Bella, I hope we didn't disturb you too much." Rose said giving her husband a dirty look.

"Not at all, I have to get up anyway and get the wolf exhibit up before the guests get here." Rose and Emmett had also moved into the neighborhood with me. They sometimes helped out in the wolf shelter with me. Rose was, absolutely gorgeous like always, and Emmett was... big. He pulled me into one of his bear hugs like he did just about every time he saw me.

"Em! I need to breathe!" I gasped as her quickly put me down.

"Well, anyway, we came to help out with the wolves. What do you want us to do Boss?" Emmett joked.

"Well, you can start by feeding the wolves and letting them out of their cages for a good run. Then I need Sam's pack in the main exhibit. Then Rose, you can open up the main shop... oh and can you take the kids with you? I got stuck babysitting the whole neighborhood." Rose loved kids, so of course she immediately agreed before running off the wake them up and take them with her to the shop. Emmett and I went through the back gate down stairs to get to the wolves. Jacob was of course already waiting for us, Emmett quickly attached leashes to the five wolves already there, and then handed Jacob's leash to me. We walked out with them, and let out the other wolves to run for a bit. Emmett dragged the meat today and I quickly found the rest of Sam's pack- Paul, Jared, and Leah.

"Why do you insist on giving these mutts human names? Whats wrong with spot or fluffy?" Emmett asked as we dropped Sam's pack off at the main exhibit.

"Because I like giving them real names. Besides, if I tried to name Sam spot, or Leah fluffy, I'm pretty sure one of them, or both of them would bite me." I explained laughing.

A few hours passed and soon the tourists started pouring in. I did my usual routine of showing the guests the wolf exhibit, introducing them to one of the more friendly wolves (Usually Jacob, or Seth, neither of which would leave my side) and then I switched jobs with Emmett and put on a show in the main exhibit, showing the guests many tricks that I practiced with the wolves, and giving a speech about keeping wolves from becoming endangered. The groups applauded and then either went back to wandering the exhibits or went to the gift stores. I took a 30 minute break between each show and decided to use this one to check up on the kids in the store.

"Hey Rose, how's it going?" I asked as I walked into the store.

"Good, lot's of business today, oh did I tell you that my brother in moving in the neighborhood?" She said excited.

"Really? Are they buying that big house at the corner?" Of course they were...there really was only one other house in the neighborhood that hadn't been bought yet.

"Yeah, him, his wife and her brother's family are all going to move into that house. I though we could throw them a little welcoming party in the exhibits..."

"I don't know... some of the wolves are still a little shy around strangers..."

"Aww, Please Bella? I already told them we could!" Rose begged.

"Well, all right, but they have to stay in one section of the exhibit, and away from the back pens."

"Ok I'll make sure to tell them! Thank you Bella! It's a really special place to have a welcoming party, you might even get a few more employee's!"

"If you say so Rose... When are they getting here?"

"Actually I think they already moved in..."

"Why doesn't anyone tell me anything before it become last minute anymore?" I complained.

"Sorry... We forgot to tell you." I was about to say something back to rose, when out of the corner of my eye I saw a little girl and her mother come in. The little girl was crying loudly and the mother looked irritated. Suddenly the mother picked up the little girl and made her sit on top of the shelves, which only scared the little girl and caused her to cry more. The mother hissed at the girl to shut up before talking on her cell phone again.

"Hey you!" I ran over and snatched the little girl of the shelf, just as the whole thing came tumbling down, crushing everything underneath it. The mother looked absolutely shocked as I continued to yell at her. "Are you an idiot?! That could of killed her! Why the hell were you gabbling away on the phone when your daughter needed you? Look at her! She's bleeding! Where you honestly born this stupid!?" I felt the anger boil in my head as I ranted to the woman. "You know, some idiot did the same thing a few weeks ago and her kid was sent to the emergency room! Can't you read the sign? It says:"DO NOT PUT CHILDREN ON SHELVES!" I pointed out the sign to her before carrying her daughter to the front desk.

"Rosalie, will you be so kind as to get out the first aid kit?" Rose stared wide eyed at the little girl, before glaring back at the mother and pulling out the first aid kit from under the desk. I quickly bandaged up the little girls knee and then smiled.

"There you go little girl, all better! Now what's your name sweetie?"

"Heather" She said sweetly, blinking away her remaining tears.

"Hi Heather, my name is Bella." I said smiling back. "Are you ok Heather?" She nodded. The mother finally came out of shock and glared at me.

"Give me my child back! How dare you yell at me! I should sue you for having such unstable shelves!" She would of gone on, but she was interrupted by a velvet voice as a handsome man with piercing green eyes and messy bronze colored haired walked in.

"Tanya? What's going on here? I heard a crash and your yelling. Is everything alright." Oh. My. Gawd... It was Edward Cullen. The jerk who got some girl pregnant 5 years ago, almost 6 now, and then left me.

"Excuse me Heather, how old are you?" I asked the girl.

"I'm 5, but I'm going to be 6 soon." She replied. So she was the kid... and that meant this 'Tanya" person was the bitch that ruined my life.

"Oh Edward! That girl over there grabbed out daughter from me! And now she won't give her back! We should report her-" Tanya started, but I interrupted her.

"Edward? Edward Cullen?" He looked shocked for a second, and then his face drained of color when he recognized my voice.

"Bella...Swan?" He asked. "How have you been the last few years years...?" He asked nervously.

"Really Edward? Is that all you have to say to me after almost 6 years? After you left me for... This is the girl you left me for? And this is the baby you conceived when WE were still going out?" I asked glaring at Tanya and pointing to Heather.

"Bella, I can explain-"

"Oh Really? You can explain how you left with out even a good bye, or an apology, or anything?"

"Edward! Who is this girl? How do you know her?"

"Oh So Eddie never told you? He never told you that he was going out with someone when he got you pregnant? Never told you that that someone was ME?!"

"Daddy? Do you know Miss Bella?" Heather asked Edward."

"Yeah..." He admitted. I was still furious. So I yelled out for Emmett

"EMMETT!!! COME HERE! AND BRING JACOB AND SETH PLEASE!" Emmett came running when he heard the fury in my voice.

"What's a matter sis?" He asked worriedly, handing me the leashes of Jacob and Seth. Edward and Tanya looked absolutely frightened of me.

"Look who decided to drop into town, Emmy... It's Edward...and his evil boyfriend stealing wife!"

"What?" Emmett asked confused before recognizing Edward. The two of them had been good friends before everything.

"You jerk! Do you know what you made my sister go through?" Emmett was about to punch Edward, of that I was sure, when quite suddenly, a short little black haired girl bounced in with a tall blonde man.

"Jasper!" Rose squealed and ran over to hug the tall blonde guy, who I assumed was her brother.

"Bella?" The short girl asked. "OMG! IT'S YOU!!" She jumped up and down before bouncing over to hug me. It was Alice Cullen, my best friend in high school before her brother betrayed me.

"Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay!" She squealed, "Now that you're here we can get rid of Tanya!"

"Excuse me?" Tanya screamed.

"Oh shut up! You knew I didn't like you!" Alice said coldly.

"Woah! Woah! Woah! STOP! I don't want anything to do with you people anymore! You all need to leave!" I said backing up away from the Cullen's.

"But Bella... I already told you they moved in..." Rose said.

"Wait... Edward is Jasper's wife's brother! And they're all moving in next door to me?" Rose nodded.

"How the Hell am I supposed to deal with this?" I yelled, throwing my hands in the air. Hearing all the yelled, Lizzie, Robert, Katie, and Julie all ran up and hugged my legs.

"What's going on?" Lizzie asked.

"Nothing sweetie." I said patting her on the head. Jacob and Seth sat down and they ran off to play on top of them.

"Are those your kids?" Edward gulped, looking at the four toddlers climbing on the two wolves.

"No, I'm babysitting for the Mike and Jessica while their out at her great aunt funeral, and for Angela and Ben while she recovers from labor." I explained. "You remember them from highschool?"

"So is that your career then? The neighborhood babysitter?" Edward asked playfully, giving me his crooked grin.

"Actually, Bella owns this whole exhibit, and the majority of the neighborhood." Rose explained. That was true, when I first moved here, I had bought the whole neighborhood after receiving a bountiful sum of money from a late relative of mine. Mike, Jessica, Ben, Angela, Emmett and Rose had all bought their houses from me, except for the last house, which I left Rose in charge of in case her brother wanted to move in... which now he did.

"So technically, Bella is your Land Lord... or Lady..." Rose finished. Edward looked surprised.

"So you own this wolf shelter?"

"Yes, these are all wolves that I rescued." Heather jumped off the counter and smiled.

"Daddy! Can I play with the wolfies?" She giggled before running off to play with the wolves and the other kids before her Daddy said anything. She was instantly accepted into the group of toddlers.

"Don't play with those filfthy animals! They're dangerous!" Tanya grimaced as her daughter petted Jacob.

"Jacob and Seth are not filthy or dangerous! I've know them since they were pups." I quickly defended my wolves. "And they both got baths a few days ago!"

"Edward, can we go now? I don't want to talk to her anymore." Tanya whined.

"Tanya, We're going to see her a lot now that we've moved right next door." Edward said, slight annoyed at her.

"Ug! Edward! I Hate you! All you ever do is talk about her! You don't really love me at all!" She practically screamed in his face. Heathers face snapped up and she looked at her parents.

"You know what Tanya, I honestly don't love you at all, you right. You are just selfish and whiny and I only stayed with you because of our daughter, but you don't even love her!" Edward yelled back.

"So what now Edward? Are you just going to leave me? With no money or support?"

"Here, take my wallet, I don't care anymore, just please leave." He said throwing his wallet to her. She caught it with a smile.

"It's about time Edward! I am so out of here!" Tanya said. Heather ran up to her mother and hugged her leg.

"Mommy, are you leaving?"

"Yes."

"When are you coming back?"

"Beat it kid! I'm never coming back!"

"But why? Don't you love me anymore?"

"No! I don't, now scram before you get kicked you little brat!" Tanya yelled before stalking out of the store. Heather's little green eyes burst into tears. Before Edward could do anything for his daughter, I ran over and picked her up, rocking her in my arms.

"I can't believe she said that to her own daughter!" Rose said furiously.

'Shhhhh, Heather Don't cry. Your Mommy was very mean to you and not worth your tears. Gosh, It must be so hard for you little one, with your Mommy saying that." Little Heather shook her head against my chest.

"No," She sniffed, "I knew Mommy didn't love me. She told me. She said she was just waiting to get Daddy's money and then she was going to leave me forever."

"Oh my god, she said that to you? You poor baby!" I rubbed her pack and continued to rock her. Ed ward held out his arms for her and I gently switched her over to him.

"I'm so sorry Heather, If I had only known she would do that..."

"There was nothing you could of done Edward. She would of just left sooner." I shook my head. "What I can't believe is how on earth you left me for someone like her."

"Bella, I-"

"Daddy?" Heather interrupted him.

"Yes darling?"

"Can I have a new Mommy?"

"Well... We'll see..."

"Can Miss Bella be my new Mommy?"

"Um... Dear, I think that might be a problem-" Before I could help myself I interrupted him and grabbed Heather from his arms again.

"Of course I can be your new Mommy."

"Really?" Heather asked excited.

"Really" Edward asked surprised.

"This girl needs a real mother to love her." I said holder her close... so close in fact, I could feel her bones. "Edward? Do you feed your daughter at all? She's all skin and bones!"

"Mommy say's I'm too fat, so she put me on a diet." Heather explained.

"A diet? She put a 5 year old girl on a diet? What else dose she do? Plastic surgery?"

"Mommy said I would have to get plastic surgery when I grew up-" Oh my god, what kind of tortures did this woman put her children through? Suddenly we heard a small cry, and I noticed the the baby strapped to Edwards back.

"You have a son too?" I asked Putting Heather down and plucking the toddler off of Edwards back.

"Yes, this is Logan, he's 2." Edward explained. The little baby boy reached out and touched my face.

"Mama!" He said giggling.

"Oh my god..." I said looking defeated.

"What is it?" Edward asked alarmed.

"I just became the mother of my Ex-boyfriend's kids!"
