I can't wait to get home! I've missed my dad so much; I've also missed my best friend and Cousin Jacob as well as all my friends in La Push. I bet you are wondering why I've missed them so much aren't you? Well let me tell you about myself.

I am Isabella Marie Swan I'm 17. I'm the daughter of Charlie Swan and Renee Dwyer. I have been living in Phoenix Arizona with my mother since I was 2. This is because my mother didn't like the small town life. I visit my dad every summer and see him over Christmas or Thanks Giving. My mother just remarried to a man named Phil. Phil is a really great man but he travels a lot with work and my mother misses him when his away as she has to stay with me. So I am moving back home to a small town called Forks in Washington to go and live with my daddy and to finish up my last 2 years of school.

This all leads me to where I am now standing in the pouring rain waiting for a taxi outside of Port Angeles airport. I'm waiting instead of getting dad to pick me up because I wanted to come early to surprise him. I'm not meant to be here until Friday and it's only Wednesday 'TAXI' I shouted just before it could go by, the driver gets out helps put my bags in the trunk "where to miss?" 'Forks please' I reply and settle in to the seat. I put my IPod on about an hour or so in to the trip the driver starts to talk to me "miss if you don't mind me asking why are you heading to forks?" "I'm going home" "did you go on holiday" I had to laugh at the man 'no I'm moving in with my dad and I have come a couple of days early to surprise him so I couldn't exactly call him now could I' I chuckled with him " no that wouldn't be much of a surprise miss, who is you dad?" 'Oh the chief of police' the man sat there with his mouth gaping. I didn't know what to do so I cleared my throat and looked out the window at the passing trees.

I must have been too caught up in my own thoughts that the driver had to shout at me from his seat "MISS!" ' yeah sorry' " we are here" when I looked out the window we were in fact outside the two story white house that I love so much, I turned to the driver ' thank you so much' after I paid, the man got my bags out turn the car around and drove away. I stood there just looking at the house I didn't know if this is going to work out as planned. I took 2 deep breathes picked up my bags and made my way to the porch, when I got there I put me bags down I didn't know if I should just walk in or knock. I decided that knocking would be better (don't wanna give the old man a heart attack) I knocked 3 times I could hear daddy moving around and making his way over to the door.

When he opened I just launched myself at him shouting 'DADDY I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!' he wrapped his arms around my small frame and squeezed me tight "I've missed you to baby girl, I missed you to." After we were done hugging, dad helped me bring my bags to my room. My room hasn't changed much only the bed as I was growing up I think it is about time we redo the room 'Hey dad is it alright if we redo my room?'

"Sure Bells, we will go out this Friday to Port Angeles and have a look round"

'Thanks dad' after that was said dad went to finish watching the game. I didn't unpack my things as we will be going out this week for new things for my room so I went down stairs to see what I could make for dinner. 'Dad you hungry? I'm going to do dinner'

"Sure am Bells but we can order pizza, you don't have to cook you just got here plus there is nothing in the kitchen"

'Oh' was my smart reply, so I went into the living room to curl up on the sofa with daddy as he orders the pizza. Just as the games ends the doorbell goes 'don't worry I'll get it as you set the able" I got up paid for the pizza walked in to the kitchen just as dad was putting the plates on the table. I place the box on the side of the table and walk over to the fridge 'would you like something to drink?' "That would be great" I got the juice went to the cupboard and got 2 glasses out filled them put dads in front of him and took my seat we didn't really talk during dinner dad asked about mum. I gave him the basic because that is all he really needs and wants to know. Other than that it was silent "I'll do the dishes there is something I want to give you" I looked up he seemed kinda nervous 'okay dad I'll help' so I put the left over pizza in the fridge while he started on the washing up and I dried them. When we were done, he grabbed my hand and pulled me out side and around to the side I couldn't help but laugh at his child like behaviour ' Dad where are you taking me, it's freezing out here' " oh Bells it won't be for long now close your eyes" I did as he asked and closed my eyes he let go of my hand and stood behind me so that he could cover my eyes. I couldn't stop the giggle that slipped past my lips, I was getting excited "just walk forward" I was going to say about tripping when I heard him chuckle "don't worry Bells I won't let you fall on your face trust me" I had to laugh with him he knows me to well. We walked about 10 paces then we stopped 'daddy?' he didn't answer then all of a sudden he is shouting in my ear "SURPRISE!" 'AHHHHHHH'.

I jumped about 5ft in the air when I was able to get my breathing under control I turn to look at him and he is clutching his sides laughing 'DAD that was so not funny, I could have had a heart attack and I'm too young and pretty to die' I had to laugh with him in the end it was good to see him look so happy. I slapped his arm playfully ' come on you' he stops laughing and we made our way to the truck that was sitting there "do you like it baby girl" ' I love it, thank you daddy' I give him a kiss on the cheek and a hug. When I pull away I noticed a slight blush on his cheeks 'is that a blush I see?' I giggled when it darkens "oh stop it come on you lets go back inside its getting cold out here" I sling my arm around his waist and he throws his arm over my shoulders and we make our was back inside.

When I woke this morning I looked at my clock it was 8:30 I got up, jumped in to the shower after I went into my room and got ready for the day. I put on my black boyfriend jeans, a plain white stretch cotton tee, I straightened my hair grabbed my hoodie on my way out of my room. When I got down stairs I put me hoodie on the back of my chair and got a cup of tea, I found a note from daddy on the fridge.

Baby Girl,

I need to go to work as I didn't know you was coming yesterday, I have left you some money to go food shopping and your keys

Love dad xx

I finished my cup of tea, grabbed the money, keys and me hoodie. I went to the door and put my boots on and headed out. I got into my truck drove the 15 minutes to the grocery store. As I got out of the truck it started to rain ' just great' I said to me self. I put my hoodie on jogged into the store; once I had everything I needed checked out and headed home. Once I had everything put away the clock on the wall told me it was only 12.30 'what to do, what to do' ha ha ha look talking to me self again, oh I know I'll go see Uncle Billy. I got in my truck again and headed to La Push I spotted Sue's diner and my belly grumbled so I pulled in and jumped out my truck when I got through the door I spotted Uncle Billy sitting with Uncle Harry and Old Quil eating lunch. They didn't see me so I snuck up behind Uncle Billy 'William Black That Is Not Good for Your Health' as I shouted this I watched as he dropped the chip he had half way to his mouth and gulped. I fell to the floor I was laughing so hard. Once I calmed myself down sue helped me back to my feet. When I looked back at Uncle Billy he looked like a deer caught in headlights and that set me off again when Uncle Harry and old Quil noticed it was me they started roaring with laughter.

"Isabella, don't do that again are you trying to give an old man a heart attack."

'you' laugh 'should of' laugh 'seen' laugh 'your face' After I calmed myself down again I was pulled in to the warm embrace that could only come from my uncle "It's great to see you Isabella" I don't like my name but I let the tribal elders call me it I know they do it out of respect. I squished Uncle Billy tighter 'It's great to be back, I've missed all of you so much' when I let go of Billy I went round giving them all a kiss on the cheek and a hug. I sat down after I got something to eat when I finished "Oh before I forget you can't tell anyone that I'm back the only one that knew I was coming home was dad, so please don't tell them.' sue gave me a quick hug "your secret is safe with us Isabella, isn't that right?" she turned to the men watching us as they mumbled "yes".

'okay I got to go now I'll see you all Friday for lunch with dad" I left when I got home it was 2.30 I went and got my worn-out Romeo Juliet book and went to my little clearing. It is one that daddy took me to when I was little it's about 2 miles east into the woods from the house, the clearing wasn't much when dad showed it to me. The river runs through the middle there is a cluster of rock to one side that you can sit on. There is also a lot of flowers that are here, I went to the rocks and sat down and listened to the birds singing and the water rushing over the rocks in the river, I started relax pulled my knees to my chest resting my arms and head upon them and took a deep breathe in. I could smell the flowers, grass the trees and the rain from earlier. It all smelt like home, I love the smell of the woods after rain falls. I don't know how long I sat there for but when I looked up at the sky it was twilight, I got up and started for home when I got to the house the sun had fully set. I went in to the kitchen and started dinner for me and dad I was making herb crusted salmon with minted new potatoes and roasted veg. as I was setting the table Dad walks through the front door. "Bells"

'I'm in the kitchen, you're just in time I have just finished dinner'

"It looks and smells great" he said as he sits down 'How was work today?'

"It was good; we didn't have much to do today"

'That's good'

"How was your day?" I look up at him and smiled 'It was great, I went shopping for the house then went to La Push and gave Uncle Billy a heart attack' I start to laugh as I remember the look on his face. "What do you mean you gave him a heart attack?"

'I caught him eating fries and shouted at him saying it wasn't good for him health and he looked like a deer caught in the headlights' I giggle as dad chuckles at me "I would of loved to see the look on that old man's face" we laughed for a few minutes about it then carried on eating when we were done I sent him to the living room with a beer to watch the game so I could clean and load the dish washer 'Goodnight daddy, oh I told them that we will go and see them for lunch tomorrow' I kissed him on the cheek and headed up to bed.

My alarm woke me I got up stretched went and had my shower I let my hair air dry in its natural waves. Went to my room put on some dark denim boyfriend jeans and my red long sleeved tee and red chucks grabbed my No Fear hoodie went down to cook me and the old man a big breakfast. I got everything out to make my buttermilk pancakes with turkey bacon eggs and a fruit salad, I put the turkey on the grill pan while I made the pancake batter I put some mango and orange in the juicer to go with breakfast and cut up the fruit flipped the bacon over as I heard dad go into the bath room so I knew I had about 5 minutes to be done I put everything so far on the table and went and cooked the pancakes and eggs just as I was setting them on the table he came in. "Hey Bells smells good in here"

'Thanks dad why don't you sit down I'm almost done'

"This all looks good Bells"

'Thanks dad here is your coffee and juice is on the table'

"Thanks Bella" After I handed him his coffee we were silent after a few minutes I looked up, 'so I was thinking that seeing as we are keeping me a surprise from everyone apart from the oldies you will still have to do the normal by going fishing with uncle Billy and Harry'

"Okay Bells are you sure I'm happy to spend time with you"

'Don't be silly dad of course I wouldn't have it any other way. I was thinking that today before we go and meet the other oldies for lunch we could go to Port Angeles to get the paint and stuff for my room and then while you are fishing over the weekend I can do it what do you think?'

"That sound good with me Bells so what are we getting today?"

'Let me do these dishes and get my list why don't you get your boots on and I'll be done in no time' I got the dishes rinsed and in the dish washer with the pans and started it, grabbed my list off the side and my hoodie, phone and keys. Dad was ready waiting at the door he grabbed the truck keys and we were off. Just as we turned on to the highway he asked what we were getting and where to go. 'well I'm guessing the hardware store for paint and curtain pole, other than that I need to get bedding, curtains, new clothes, bed, vanity some new draws a desk, so I'm guess for that the mall and second hand stores. "Well baby girl you don't have to worry about a vanity, draws, desk or bedside tables it was meant to be a surprise for you but since you left. Me, your Uncle Billy and Harry have been carving them for you. So when we go down today we can pick them up they got there last coat of varnish a few days ago and it needed to dry" I squealed like a little girl who just got everything she wanted for Christmas. 'Thank you thank you thank you daddy' I leant over and kissed him on the cheek and he blushed now I really know where I got that from. "Its okay baby girl it was our pleasure." with that we pulled into the parking lot at the hard ware store.

"Okay bells so what colours are we getting then what look are you going for?"

'Well the look I'm going for is a nature look, I want my room to look like the forest well more like my little clearing really so we need to get loads of different colours so what do you think?'

"I think it's a good idea Bells," We got as many colours as we could think of and two black curtain poles. We paid and left to go to the mall, as we were walking towards the bed store I sore some light dusky pink material that is just like that sky at twilight it was just perfect for a canopy for the bed I want to get, and I can even make some curtains.

'Dad we need to go in there I want to get that material for my room. What do you think of it?'

"it's pink bells I didn't think you liked pink?"

'I know its pink dad its twilight pink, you know when the sunsets its perfect for my room'

"Okay bells we will get it anything else you need from in here?"

'yeah I need a new sewing machine but I'll pay for that mum gave me a credit card with no limit I'm grateful that you bought my paint and that but I can get the rest it's not a problem.'

"Now bells I know that you want to get your own stuff I know how independent you are but I want to do this for you now smile say thank you daddy and get what you need."

So I did exactly what he wanted I smiled gave him a hug and said "thank you daddy," after that he gave me a little push so I went and got a brand new sewing machine and all kinds of material as well. We went and paid and put everything into the truck and went to get my bed which is a cherry wood four poster bed. We got that to be delivered tomorrow. Then we went and got some clothes for me which was mainly jeans, tees, jumpers and hoodies. We also got some sweats and vests I sent dad to get me some trainers and boots while I went into Victoria's secret to get some undies how embarrassing if he went in there with me. We arranged to meet at the food court so once I was done I went to meet up with him. I was walking past an antique store when I saw a picture frame with a black swan on it and one with a wolf which would be prefect for dad and Uncle Billy. I got them; I have the perfect photos to go in them. I ran to meet daddy as we had to get back for lunch with the other oldies. 'Dad we got to go Uncle Billy is probably waiting for us already'

"Okay bells we'll go did you get everything you needed?"

'yeah dad I did I think if not I'll come back over the weekend now come on we got to get going"

We put everything inside the truck so we had room in the back for the furniture. Then we were off got to Sue's diner about 45 minutes later walked in and found Uncle Billy, Harry old Quil and Willow sitting at a table and Sue was running around behind the counter before she took her lunch she came over to take our orders. 'Hello everyone how have you been'

"Hello Isabella it's so nice to see you again" said old Quil after I gave him a hug first as he was the one sitting on the outside. "Hello Isabella it's been a long time we are going to have to have a catch up some time you are looking beautiful as always."

'Thank you willow and yes we will if you're free on Sunday why don't you and sue come around for brunch?'

"That is very nice of you to offer Isabella what can I bring and what no hug for your Auntie anymore?" Sue said with a giggle. 'Sorry Auntie Sue and I'll let you decide what to bring with you' I said as I gave her a hug. 'What no love from my Uncles now and there's me thinking they love me' I said pulling the best puppy dog eyes I could and a trembling lip. I knew it would work as Uncle Billy pulled me on to his lap. "now come on Isabella you know how much we all love you now suck that bottom lip of yours in and give me some sugar" he said with a chuckle. I turned slightly and wrapped my arms around him 'of course I do Uncle Billy now gimmie some sugar' with that he kissed my cheek still chuckling. 'Now Uncle Harry you ganna let this old man out do you?'

"oh Isabella you know Harry cant out do me" he was chucking still and I couldn't help but join him at that the next thing I knew I have a set of arms around me spinning around chuckling being the only one of the oldies apart from my dad that would do that. 'Hey Uncle Harry I love you too but can you put me down now I'm starved'

"Sure hunnie"

"So what can I get for you all?" said sue 'now Auntie isn't this your lunch time or am I mistaken?'

"Yes dear it is why do you ask?"
