Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, the wonderful Stephenie Meyer owns it all

I'm trying something new here; the story takes place ten years after the Cullen's left Bella in New Moon.

Please let me know what you think and if you would like me to continue.

Chapter 1

"Mummy where we goin?" Connor sighed, his chubby wee fingers played with Bella's soft chestnut curls.

"We're going to Washington in America baby, mummy told you already. We're going to live with Grandpa Charlie; he's going to teach you to fish and you can swim in the ocean there too." She smiled sweetly at her small beautiful four year old son.

"Come on baby you're too heavy for mummy, you're my big boy." She kissed his chubby pink cheeks as she slowly put him down onto his feet.

"Hold mummy's hand tight Connor." She said with a smile.

"Yes, mummy." He grabbed her hand and smiled up at his beautiful mummy.

"Ye alright Bells?" Edith asked as they waited for their taxi.

"Yes…. No..." tears formed in her sad brown eyes "I'm doing the right thing, aren't I Edith?"

"Only you can answer that hen, I know Calum would have wanted you to move on with your life Bella. It's been two years since he was killed in Afghanistan. You and the bairn need a new start, moving over the pond to America's a good move for both of you,although I'll miss ma braw wee nephew." Edith said kissing Connor's blond hair.

"Ye got yer toys and yer baffies Connor?"

"Yes, Auntie Edie, I've got my toys and my slippers." he squealed as she gave his tummy a tickle.

"'I'm gonna miss you two, so much." she gave Bella a strong hug.

"You'll come and visit Edith, please? I'll Skype you every week and make sure Connor Skype's at the weekend."

" Aye, I'll come over probably at Christmas, but you know St Andrews is such a happening place!" she laughed.

"Yeah, I came to University in Scotland and never left!" Bella laughed. She loved her sister in law but the last two years had been so hard on her. She needed a change, a fresh start; the vampires had been gone from Forks for eight years now. Jacob still wrote with updates and the Cullen house still lay abandoned.

A 'beep' from the horn of the taxi woke her from her reverie.

"All richt ma brave wee laddie, you look after mummy Connor McCleod."

"I'll call when we land, Charlie's coming to pick us up."

"Yer goin' in Granda Charlie's polis car Connor, ye'll love it son." Kissing and hugging her nephew, Edith helped the taxi driver load their luggage into the cab. "You look efter my family." she threatened him. The taxi driver looked down at the ground as he nodded. Edith was quite an imposing woman.

Bella strapped Calum in the booster chair "I need to do this Edith. I can't stay here with the memories."

"I know, but ill miss ma wee sister and ma bairn." Edith said, wiping tears from both of their eyes.

"I'll be over in eleven months Bella , dinna do anything stupid at that new school yer teachin in."

"Edith, I don't believe you." she laughed wiping her tears away "I love you, take care. I'll call you soon."

The two flights were long, exhausting and boring for four year old Connor; Bella chased him up and down plane aisle as he laughed and giggled. His mummy was the best. He was exhausted when they eventually landed.

"Wake up Connor, we're here." Bella whispered to her cherub.

"Com'on sweetheart Grandpa's waiting." He yawned and stretched his wee arms and legs as he slid down from the large blue chair.

"Grandpa Charlie?" he said sleepily.

"Yes darling, he's waiting for us." she said, collecting her luggage from the overheard bins.

"Wait till everyone gets off baby."

"Ok mummy." he gave a big yawn.

"I'm tired mummy."

"I know son but you'll get used to the time change, ma wee lamb" she snuggled giving him a kiss.

"I need the toilet mummy."

"Ok Baby, come over here." she said, leading him to the airport toilets

"Wait outside the cubicle mummy, I'm a big laddie now."

"Your son's so cute, what a lovely accent!" a women in a blond hair said "Yes, he's Scottish." Bella said waiting as she heard the toilet flush.

"Come on Connor, Grandpa's waiting. Go wash your hands please."

"Okay dokey mummy."

Coming out of the chaotic terminal she saw Charlie's Police cruiser idling beside the pickup line, "Over here Connor." she said holding his hand firmly.

"Yes! We're goin in a polis car!" Connor shouted in delight.

Charlie got out the car laughing at his happy grandson, he leaned down giving Bella a long hug. He hunkered down to Connor's level "Hi Connor, I'm your Grandpa Charlie."

"Hi Grandpa…" biting his bottom lip he blurted out "Sean at nursery said you should be ma granda. A Grandpa's a sissy American name and I'm a Scotsman." he said seriously, his tiny had grasping Charlie's.

"Am no a sissy Granda."

Charlie ruffled his thick golden hair and chuckled. "No you're definitely not, all right then Connor I can be your Scottish granda."

"Connor that's not polite!" Bella scolded.

"He's tired Dad, and so am I. I'm sorry, he's never this cheeky."

"Mummy, I'm sorry." Connor said, his large green eyes brimming over with heavy tears.

Lifting him into her arms she cuddled him. "There, there baby, Mummy's tired too, let's go and get a sleep and everything will look better tomorrow."
