A/N: Thank you to my first reviewer macymay201! My character curses a lot so yeah, just thought I should let you people know.

Chapter 2

The Arrival

"Thank you for riding JFK airlines! I hope you have a pleasant stay!" the women over the loud speaker said.

I walked over to the baggage area and grabbed my suitcase, or at least attempted to when I suddenly got crushed by multiple bodies.

'Fuck this! They ain't stoppin me from getting my bag!'

I fought my way through the crowd until I reached the converter belt that had my suitcase. I quickly spotted my Transformer designed suitcase (what can I say, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are the best) and quickly grabbed it off the converter belt as I was somehow tossed from the crowd of people.

'Dicks, they could be a little nicer and easier!'

I scowled at the crowd before turning and walking away towards…well…I don't know where I was going.

'Shit fuck me! I can't be lost! Noooo! This can NOT be happening! No, no, no, just relax; all you need to know is what Charlie looks like. You can do that! You know exactly what he looks like…right?'

As I tried to recall what he looked like, I started to hyperventilate again.

'Omfg! I don't remember! I don't remember! Oh my fucking cheez-its! How do I not remember what he looks like! Argh! I knew I should've never stopped coming to Forks! I'm such an idiotass! Waaaaaah!'

As I thought this, I heard a strangely familiar male voice call out my name.

"Tanya!"

I turned and saw a middle aged man smiling and waving me over.

"Charlie?" I asked hesitantly, as I walked over to him.

"Of course! Who else? It's good to see you again kido,"

Memories started flooding back into my mind when he said that, and I could clearly remember Charlie now. I sent him a smile as he grabbed my suitcase and led me outside and towards a police cruiser. I stopped walking to look at the car, trying to hide the disgust on my face.

'Oh great. A police car? Seriously Charlie? Gosh, it's just like that time. Ha ha, lol, the guys would get a kick out of this! Seeing me get into a police car willingly instead of putting up a fight. Hmmm, maybe I should…no, no, the faster I get into this car the faster I can get out and see Bella'

With that thought in mind, I masked all of my discomfort and slid into the passenger seat.

"I see you still like Transformers," he said, trying to get a conversation going as we pulled out of the parking lot.

"Yep! Damn straight and I'm proud of it too!"

He gave me a look and I knew instantly what I said wrong.

"Oops, I meant dang,"

He shook his head, and we lapsed back into a comfortable silence. The drive was quick and short, or it would've been if my stupid stomach hadn't growled. Charlie looked at me from the corner of his eye while I could only grin sheepishly. What could I say, I hated airplane food. He stopped by a diner and we both got out.

"Welcome to-Oh! Chief Swan! It's good to see you again! How have you been? How's Bella? And who is this young lady?" the waitress who had come over to greet us said.

'Are all the people here that perky and peppy and ask a million and one questions? Do they wear those polo shirts and all that other peppy junk? I hope not or else I'ma have to get on the earliest flight back home!' Yeah…I hated peppy people, it was so creepy how happy they are all the time. (A/N: sorry if anyone takes offense to that, well, I hope no one takes offense to that)

"Hello Clair. It's good to see you too. I'm fine and Bella is….ok. And this is my niece, Tanya."

I noticed how he faltered when he answered the question on how Bella was doing. The lady smiled and led us to our table. She left us to look over the menu and when she came back we were ready to order. I ordered a burger, fries, and a chocolate shake while Charlie ordered coffee. We talked about life and how my school life and his job were going. When the lady returned with our orders, we stopped talking and focused on the things in front of us. When I was finished eating, Charlie paid for my food and his drink. As we drove off, we remained in silence until I asked the question that's been bugging me for a while.

"Sooo….Bella…?" smooth Tanya, smooth.

Charlie instantly saddened and his body became tense, it almost made me regret asking…almost…I still needed my answers.

"I don't know what to do with that girl! Every time I feel she takes a step forward in getting better, it's like she takes ten steps back! I was hoping that Jacob was helping her, but then he also stopped talking to her and spending time with her and that just made her get even worse! I don't know what to do anymore! And she still refuses to go back to Arizona with her mother!" He sighed exasperatedly.

I balled my hands into a fist at the thought of Edward and Jacob as I tried to hold back my hiss and the urge to punch the dashboard. Poor Bella, poor Charlie, poor Renee, they were all suffering. I sighed as I released my anger before I started talking to him again

"So, does she know that I'm coming?" I asked quietly.

"No, when I told her I was going to the airport she asked me what for but I just told her it was a surprise, I was hoping that when she saw you today, she would feel a little better."

"Oh."

'So I guess that means she never looked at the e-mail I sent her,'

"So is she home?"

"No, have you even seen the time?"

I got out my phone and looked at the time: 2:15. I blushed cherry red while Charlie snorted as he tried, and failed, to hold back his laughter.

'Well there goes my blonde moment of the day!' (A/N: don't take offense!)

"It's not funny," I grumbled.

'Yeah just rub it in on how much of an idiot I am'

"Sorry, sorry, you're right, it's not," he replied but the smile on his face and the look in his eyes told a different story.

I huffed as I turned to face out the window, I was secretly glad though that he wasn't sad anymore.

"Well, here we are!"

As Charlie parked the car in the drive way, I looked at the house and noticed that it was still the same as it was the last time I visited.

"Remind me to make sure I do some remodeling on the outside of your house while I'm here,"

He chuckled and shook his head as he grabbed my suitcase and opened the door so that he could place my stuff inside the house. I gaped and noticed that even the inside of the house was the same.

"Pssh! Scratch that, remind me to remodel the outside and inside of your house while I'm here."

Charlie burst out laughing while I could only pout at him.

"Come on, I'll lead you to your room," he said once he finally stopped laughing.

He grabbed my suitcase and led me up stairs and into my room that happened to be right next to Bella's. I instantly perked up when he told me that. He left me in my room so that I could unpack claiming that he'd be right downstairs. I nodded as a sign to show that I had heard him as I got unpacked and then I grabbed my pj's and ran into the bathroom to take a quick shower. I walked out and down the stairs towards the living room where I could hear Charlie watching a game. Once I made my presence known, Charlie turned to me and then he started laughing at me again. I scowled at him and stamped my foot down.

"I understand that some people like to walk around in their pajamas but aren't you a little too old for Barbie?"

"Uugh! It was a gift!" I yelled, storming over to the chair next to the couch.

He smiled as he turned back to the TV screen. We watched the hockey game in silence for a little bit, with us occasionally jumping up and screaming when the team we liked scored a goal.

"So when is Bella gonna be home?" I asked, once I noticed it was already four o' clock, how time flies when you're having fun.

"Not until seven, she's working."

"Oh," and with that we went back to watching the game.

Once it hit six thirty, I got up and walked into the kitchen, Charlie getting up and following me.

"What are you doing?" he asked when he noticed me turning on the stove and taking out pots and pans.

"I'm making spaghetti,"

He shifted in the doorway uncomfortably as he asked why.

"I wanna surprise Bella and also, I wanna do this as a sign of thanks for letting me stay here."

He smiled at that.

"You're always welcome here Tanya,"

"Thanks! Know get out of the kitchen so I can cook,"

….And the look of discomfort was back….

"What!" I asked exasperatedly.

"No! Nothing. It's just that…..just please be careful, ok?"

I had to roll my eyes at him at that one.

"Charlie, I'm not Bella ok, I ain't part of the eternally clumsy club."

He smiled and chuckled. "Yeah, I guess you're right, I'll just….leave you to it,"

Once he left I started chuckling. Around seven twenty, I heard the door open and Bella say: "Dad! I thought I told you not to go in the kitchen and cook or else you'll burn…. the….. house…. down?"

Bella had come rushing into the kitchen, right past Charlie who had gotten up and followed her into the kitchen, and stopped yelling once she saw me in the kitchen, staring with her mouth open at me.

"Well excuse me Miss Doubty-mic-doubt-Tanya-much," I teased.

Cliffie! Sorry but i had to leave it off here. I want to say sorry ahead of time for anythinhg anyone might find offensive at anything and at anytime in the story. Once again REVIEW PLZ!
