The Truth comes out:
Forks, Washington
Charlie POV:
It was another ordinary day in Fork, Washington. Nothing really happens here. Every now and then we get a call from Seattle requesting help for whatever problem they are having. I love the easy going nature of this town. I was born and raised here, but I still missed being a federal agent. I don't regret stopping for Bella sake. Of course she has no clue about who she really is. I felt guilty for taking her instead of giving her back to her family. But it what was for the best of her and her family according to the agency. They said she would be in more danger if I took her back home like I originally planned to do. I had no clue who her real family was they never gave me that, only that she was from Llanview finest. Which could be several different family from what he understood. He also understood that one day he would have to tell her. That was today, which he was not looking forward too. It started back two hours ago.
Flashback
I was in my office going over some paper work, when the phone rang.
"Fork police department Chief Swan speaking." I said when I answered the phone.
"Charlie hey it's Agent Scorpio. It is time to tell Bella the truth. They been captured." Agent Robert Scorpio told me. I was surprised and relieved about it. I was now nervous I had to tell my only daughter that she was kidnapped by people who wanted to hurt her family, and I raised her to keep her safe. I had no clue how I was going to do this. She had no idea about any of this.
"Agent Scorpio thanks for telling me. Now I have to figure out a way to tell her the news. Questions is there anybody going to tell the family or am I going to have to do that. Plus who is her biological family anyway. I was never told who they are." I asked him in the end. I had to know, Bella would want to know that way she could look them up. The girl was very smart, 4.0 GPA while taking all AP classes, cheerleader, track and soccer star. She was also involved in Glee club she did it all it seems. Quite a few schools wanted her. She wanted to go to either UCLA or NYADA. She loved and lived for music. Trained herself how to sing, took dancing lesson since she was a child, wrote her own music, and played piano, guitar, and flute as well. She could do it all.
"We are having one of our agents go out to see the family. Don't worry you won't get in trouble for raising her. As for who her family is Victoria and Clint Buchanan. As you know they are powerful people." He told me. I had to agree with him there. The whole Buchanan family was powerful. I hope I will not get into too much trouble because of this and that Bella don't hate me either.
"Well I got to go Charlie. If the family has any questions about her they know to give your cell phone a call and talk to you about it first. Hopefully they don't jump the gun and fly here instead of calling you first. Have a good afternoon and talk to you soon." He told me and hung up the phone.
After the call I knew I would not get to much work done, and called it a day early. I told them if I get any important phone calls to have them call my cell. I told them I needed the afternoon off.
End of flashback:
I went home and turned on the TV. Bella should be home around 5 today. She had Cheerleading practice today as well as Homecoming announcements. She would find out if she got placed on Homecoming court. Both Forks, and La Push played on the same teams since both schools were close together and very small. He had a feeling she would be placed on Homecoming court, along with Rosalie Hale, Leah Clearwater and Victoria Underwood. All the girls were popular and did everything together. He also had a feeling Alice Cullen would be placed on there as well. She had money like the other girls, but unlike the other girls everyone did not like Alice all that much just liked her for her money and the party she threw all the time. How Carlisle and Esme let their children Alice and Edward do whatever they want made no since to them. It made them arrogant and very liked by the student body. That was for the Queen, for the King he had a feeling, Paul Lahonte, Edward Cullen, Emmett McCarty, Jacob Black, and Jasper Whitlock were going to be it for the court. He would just wait for Bella to get home to find out.
Three hours later and Bella had return home. He told her he needed to talk to her and she asked if she could take a shower first. He knew both her and Rose did not like to use the school shower's, something about bad hygiene and she did not want to get something from them. She got done after 30 minutes. Worked into the kitchen and grabbed things out to make dinner. I was terrible at cooking and everyone knew that too.
"Bella, there is something we need to discuss?" I told her quietly. I was worried.
"What is it dad. Oh by the way you were right. I am on the Homecoming Court with Rose. We are both excited about it. Homecoming is in 4 weeks and we need to go by our dress this weekend if that is ok?" She told me excited.
"That is cool Bells. I knew you would make it. But back to what I said. I got an important call this morning at work that deals with you." I told her and that got her confused thinking it had to do with her high school or one of the college she applied too.
"Really what about. It's not about one of the colleges I applied for or mom is it?" She asked me.
"No Bella. Just something your mother and I never told about. The call I got was from Agent Scorpio. My old teammate when I as a FBI agent before you were born. Bella there is no easy way to put this but you were adopted by me and Renee. You were kidnapped when you were a baby. We found you guys but your kidnapper got away, before we could arrest him. I wanted to take you back to your family home, but had no clue who they were. One of the higher ranking agents told me until they found your kidnapper and arrested them you could not go home. Well they finally found him and he is in jail. It was to protect you that is why I never told you. It is also the reason I had you, Leah and Rose take those self-defense lessons growing up as well. I hope you don't hate me because of this. I only wanted to protect you." I told her, allowing tears to fall down my face. What I was surprise about was her laughing.
"Its ok dad. I had a feeling I was adopted. There were too many things that just did not fit. For starters that I did not look like you or mom. The fact that I can cook and neither of you can. I was talking about this with Rose today at lunch. She told me I was just being crazy. I guess I was right though. If you don't mind me asking who are my parents. I just wonder where I come from. I don't want to hurt you dad. Regardless of us being blood related, you are still my dad and the man I have looked up to all my life." She told me was tears in her eyes. Because of this I got up and gave her a hug and kiss on the top of her head.
"Bella, I just learnt of your parents name today myself. They are Clint Buchanan and Victoria Banks. You have 4 siblings. Two older brother and twin older sister. I am not sure of their names though, but I am sure you can look them up later after dinner." I told her. I got up to help her with dinner and she looked at me.
"Dad let me finish cooking dinner, grab a beer and go watch the game." She told me laughing and I joined her and did what she told me to do. That went better than I though.
Bella POV:
I had a feeling today was going to be an interesting. It started out like any other day. But she knew it was not like any other day. The morning went by fast and next thing I knew it was lunch time. They were announcing who would be on the Homecoming Court. I was sitting with my friends like usual. Rose was sitting to my left with Emmett on her other side, on my right was Leah Clearwater with her boyfriend Jake on her other side. Jake, Leah, Paul and me been friends since we were little. Jarred our other friends was sitting with his girlfriend Kim of 2 years on his lap. Jarred was sitting next to Jake and on the other side of Jarred was Paul and Victoria O'Brien sitting right in between of both him and Emmett. Our friend Jasper was sitting with his girlfriend Alice, her brother Edward his girlfriend Tanya and our other friends Peter and Charlotte. Peter and Charlotte looked bored and Edward just kept staring at me. Which is really unnerving. Everyone knew Edward was with Tanya to get me jealous well everyone but Tanya. She had her nice moments, but she was just as bitchy as the rest of us girls can be. I felt really bad for her but it was her own fault dating Edward. I just hope he does not break her heart. Alice and I have never got along. She hated the fact of the lead of glee, Rose's co-captain, and the track and soccer leads. In other words she was jealous of me. I personally could care less. I had my family and friends backing me up and that is all that matter to me.
"Now before I say who is on the court? When I call your name come up to the stage please. For Homecoming Queen: Rosalie Hale, Isabella Swan, Leah Clearwater, Alice Cullen and Victoria O'Brien. I had all my friends up here expect Alice. So I really could care less if I won. My thing was Prom. I wanted to be Prom Queen. For Homecoming King: Jacob Black, Paul Lahonte, Emmett McCarty, Edward Cullen, and Jasper Whitlock. Everyone have a good day." The principal said and got off the stage. Each of us girls got flowers, a ribbon and little tiara to wear. I did not mind. This is going to be interesting. Now I definitely cannot wait to go dress shopping this weekend with the girls. Us girls namely Rose, Angela, Leah, Victoria, Charlotte, and Kim were going dress shopping with Rose's mom.
"Bella can you believe it. We got nominated for Homecoming. What's wrong? You look lost in thought." Rose told me when we got back to our sit.
"Nothing really. Just have a strong filling something is going to happen. Remember how we were talking about you know. How I think I am adopted. Well I have not got the nerve to ask my dad Charlie yet. Then a though came to me even if I am adopted, I could care less because Charlie is my dad regardless of blood. I feel bad for thinking this way especially when he told me he knew I was going to make it on the homecoming court, like my mom Renee did." I told my best friends that was sitting at our usual table.
"Bells, no matter what you are still Bella Swan. Plus, do you really think Charlie would care less if you are his blood or not. Come on, we got to get ready for practice." With that us girls got up and headed for the gym. Practice felt like forever. Our routine was perfect for the homecoming game half-time show.
By the time I got home it was after 5. Charlie told me he had something he want to talk about. I could tell he was nervous, but I had to take a shower to get the sweat off of me.
I got done and went to the kitchen. Grabbed the stuff to me dinner as it was cooking in the oven, I grabbed a Gatorade from the refrigerator. Charlie was sitting done waiting for me to get done.
"Bella, there is something we need to discuss?" Dad told her nervous and more quietly than normal. I got worried about that. He never got worried about anything
"What is it dad. Oh by the way you were right. I am on the Homecoming Court with Rose. We are both excited about it. Homecoming is in 4 weeks and we need to go by our dress this weekend if that is ok?" I told him excited about today.
"That is cool Bells. I knew you would make it. But back to what I said. I got an important call this morning at work that deals with you." He told me. Now I was nervous and very confused. What type of phone call did he get? Was it about one of the school's applied for or was it my mom
"Really what about. It's not about college or mom is it?" I asked him.
"No Bella. Just something your mother and I never told about. The call I got was from Agent Scorpio. My old teammate when I as a FBI agent before you were born. Bella there is no easy way to put this but you were adopted by me and Renee. You were kidnapped when you were a baby. We found you guys but your kidnapper got away, before we could arrest him. I wanted to take you back to your family home, but had no clue who they were. One of the higher ranking agents told me until they found your kidnapper and arrested them you could not go home. Well they finally found him and he is in jail. It was to protect you that is why I never told you. It is also the reason I had you, Leah and Rose take those self-defense lessons growing up as well. I hope you don't hate me because of this. I only wanted to protect you." I just looked at him. I was kind of relieved and then it dawned on me. This is what we were talking about this afternoon at lunch today.
"Its OK dad. I had a feeling I was adopted. There were too many things that just did not fit. For starters that I did not look like you or mom. The fact that I can cook and neither of you can. I was talking about this with Rose and the gang today at lunch. She told me I was just being crazy. I guess I was right though. If you don't mind me asking who are my parents. I just wonder where I come from. I don't want to hurt you dad. Regardless of us being blood related, you are still my dad and the man I have looked up to all my life." I told him. I was nervous about who my parents might be now, what if I were to meet them and I am not what they think their child should be. What if disappointed them.
"Bella, I just learnt of your parents name today myself. They are Clint Buchanan and Victoria Banks. You have 4 siblings. Two older brother and twin older sister. I am not sure of their names though, but I am sure you can look them up later after dinner." Well that is cool. I could tell he was still nervous and relieved though that he told me
"Dad let me finish cooking dinner, grab a beer and go watch the game." I told him laughing and he joined me and did what I told him to do. Now to tell my friends about this tomorrow. I wonder what they will think now.
