My Green Slippers

Chapter 1

I opened the door to the police station; a warm breeze ruffled my hair welcoming me. Closing the door behind me I walked down the small hall and to the right entering the offices. On my left was the poster board I was looking for.

"Morning Mila" A groggy voice said behind me. I spun around quickly. Chief Swan stood behind me, doughnut in one hand newspaper in the other. His shirt pulled tight around the beer belly that was forming.

"Morning Chief Swan" I said then turned my attention back to the poster board. Spotting the old flyer I ripped it off, crumpled it then threw it in the trash bin two feet away. Score! I let my backpack fall off my back and then unzipped the top reaching in and grabbing my purple folder.

"Another dance audition flyer?" He asked, eyeing the folder.

"Nope, not this week," I shook my head."This week it's babysitting time" I pulled the freshly printed flyer out of my folder, grabbed the stapler with my other hand and stapled the paper to the board twice. Last week on this day, I had stapled a dance audition poster up, the week before that a rain fest poster and today a babysitting one. "Moms Determined to get me out of the house this summer." He let out a short snort/laugh. "Yea I have to go put one up in the community center, the schools, and at Sully's." (A.N for those that don't know Sully's is an actual burger joint in Forks)

"Well at least it will keep you busy" He sighed before turning and walking to his desk. Ending our conversation. I turned back to my stuff. As I was packing the folder back into the backpack, the front door clicked open, and then clicked close.

"Hey Dad," A Gals voice said. She had a really pretty voice. I knew Chief Swan had only one daughter I had just never seen her before. I turned my head to see and had to do a double take. She was one of the most beautiful people I had ever seen. Man talk about taking hits on your self-esteem; mine went straight out the door. I looked at how her brown hair shined and almost glowed, then looked at mine. Ehhh, my hair looked like a poop brown and dull compared to hers. Shaking my head I grabbed my backpack.

"Hi Bells, what's going on?" Bells? Weird nickname. Her name must be Bella or something like that.

"Can you watch Nessie next weekend? The family and I are going to Italy for… a family reunion"

"A family reunion, I didn't know the Cullen's were from Italy?"Cullen's, as in the most beautiful people my eyes have ever seen? As in Edward Cullen? I remember when I was in the eighth grade and he was a senior, and Lily, Martha and I all took secret pictures of him and hung them up in our rooms. Then when they come over - or I went to one of their houses- we would ask each other what we would do if he was our boyfriend. I shuddered at the memory. It was a stupid crush, but I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy that this must be the girl he married over the summer two years ago. I pretended to have trouble tying my shoe, so I could hear more of the conversation.

Chief Swan set down his doughnut and news paper, folded his arms then looked back up at his daughter. I hated the fact that I was eavesdropping, but it was kind of interesting. In a scary sort of way.

"Well why you don't just take Nessie with you. I'm sure they would love to meet her considering she's Edwards's daughter to." I couldn't stop the small intake of breath I had when I heard that. She had a daughter, but she didn't look a day over nineteen. Wow they got busy… Ah bad mental image.

"We don't know how Nessie would react to flying all the way over there and we don't want her to fall ill. Dad you know it's just a mothers concern. Plus it would only be at night. Jake opted to watch her during the day but he had to be back on the res at night to help out. For one of those "need to know" kind of things." Chief Swan's eyes widened when she said "need to know"

Deciding right now would be a good time to leave I grabbed my bag, standing up straight. Looked over the flyer and started walking to the door. I didn't know if I should say bye or not.

"Wait Mila," Chief Swan called before I exited, I turned around. Bella was looking at me now. Her brown eyes soft. "Bella, why don't you have Mila watch Nessie." My eyes widened. He was volunteering me to watch his granddaughter. Her eyes widened to. Then she looked back to her father.

"Dad, I'd really rather have you do it." She looked at me "No offence, it's just" she looked back at her father. "I really don't know her, and I wouldn't want someone I don't know watching her at night."

"Bells I would trust Mila to watch the station by herself if she was old enough. She has got to be the most trustworthy kid I know." Aww that made me feel good inside!

"I bet she's trust worthy, but… I'll talk it over with Edward. I'm just not sure." She sighed. Then walked past me and out the door. I looked over at Chief Swan who shrugged then I turned away and walked out the door.

By the time I got out Bella was long gone. I didn't know whether to be happy, sad, or afraid. The clouds that had been covering the sun this morning were starting to clear now. I didn't know if it was a sign, just a sunny day, or both. I stopped off at the community center posted a new flyer, at Sully's posted a new flyer then went home. I didn't bother going to the school. Only the teachers that were still there today would see it. I grabbed my key from under the plant pot and unlocked the door. My cat met me at the door as I entered with a 'Meow' then took off for her food dish. I checked my watch 12:41pm. When you enter the house there is a small entryway/hall, with a mirror on the right side. I tried not to look at myself in the mirror but that didn't happen. I lifted my head to see if there was anything different about me. Nope just my plain reflection staring back at me. Same shoulder length brown hair, same brown eyes. At least my face was cleared of acne, and… I looked down. Yes! My boobs have noticeably gotten bigger. First step to adult hood. For being a sophomore I was rather short. Standing at five foot nothing, I towered over the fourth graders, but that's about it.

I slipped off my shoes and trudged to my room. Disposing my backpack I slipped on my favorite pair of green slippers a pink tank top, and a pair of PJ pants. I walked to the kitchen grabbed the tub of chocolate-peanut butter ice-cream and a spoon then went back to my room. I plopped into my bean bag chair and pulled out my latest reading book called "The Awakening" By Kelly Armstrong. It was an ah-ma-zing book! I hadn't even opened the book before the phone rang. I reached over to my little bedside table and grabbed it. The caller ID came up as…

Unknown Name
Unknown Number

My dad's been out on a business trip so thinking it was him I answered.

"Hello?" I said

"Is this Mila" said a ladies' voice. One I recognized but didn't know.

"Yes this is she; may I ask who's speaking?" I was kind of quizzical. Not every day did I get people calling asking for me in specific.

"This is Bella, Chief Swan's daughter." I sat up straighter, my heartbeat quickening.

"o-oh…uhh, hi" I stuttered. When I was nervous or panicky I stuttered.

"I talked with my family and we're interested in having you watch our daughter Renesmee Cullen…"

A.N so I have to stop it there for now and get off the computer, this is my first fan fiction… didn't even know what it was until two days ago. So I'm not expecting this story to get anywhere I just wanted to write it out. I see that people can leave comments so if you wouldn't mind telling me what you think of it then please do. Um well that's it. Ciao ^_^
