Edward's POV
All of my siblings and their significant others came to the airport with me to pick up our parents. I noticed Chief Swan was standing by the private terminal. I turned my attention to him seeing as our parents weren't landing for another twenty minutes.
I saw a beautiful brunette come running out and hug Charlie. She was carrying one suitcase and an acoustic guitar case. The girl acted so happy.
Alice came over and watched the scene with me. We never got to see the girls face, but by her laugh and the way she acted you could tell she was a self-righteous witch. I turned away and Alice walked over to Jasper.
*~*~*~*~*
Bella's POV
I ran right into Charlie's hug the second I saw him. I was so happy to be staying with him. "Hi Dad" I said in his ear as I hugged him.
"Hey baby girl. You ready to look at houses now?" Charlie asked. I nodded and he led the way out of the airport.
Charlie drove us to the first house. It was your standard layout ranch. There was a large porch. It was a nice house I just didn't feel like it would fit Charlie's and my personality.
Then Charlie showed me the next house. The minute he pulled in the private circle driveway I knew it was the house for us. I turned to Charlie. "This is it." I smiled. Charlie nodded and signed all the papers required so we could move in immeadiately.
The house was washed white and looked sort of like a plantation. There was a two yard wide staircase that led to the porch. "This is the old Forks Memorial Inn that ran back in the twenties. Like I said they redid everything by construction and are looking for a buyer since the previous owner moved." the realtor explained.
The house had a porch that wrapped around the entire house. There was a lake behind the house right off the little private beach. The water was deep enough and close enough that you could jump right off the back porch into the water. The porch was railed in and by the look of the wood I would have to replace all the railing. The wood on the bottom of the porch looked new and was painted a deep hunter green. There were porch swings on both ends of the porch in the front of the house and a place to hang a hammock in the back.
Then Charlie led me inside and I fell even more in love with the house. There was dark cherry hardwood floor in the foyer and on the stairs leading to the second floor. The kitchen was brand new as promised just needed to be painted and the cabinets stained. There was a nice dark granite covering the counter tops. The kitchen led to the dining room with sliding doors covered by rice paper screens. There was a door, also covered by rice paper screen, that led to the porch.
Then there was the living room that was also floored in the cherry wood. There were three huge windows giving a view of the green forests that surrounded the house.
From there there were seven other rooms on the main floor including a main bathroom and bathrooms in each of the rooms, which Charlie claimed one as the room for his fishing equipment and where he would keep his gun. The others could be guest bedrooms, a sitting room, and the room I claimed as the library, because of all the built in shelving overlooked the back and the lake in the back that you could see out of the wall of windows. We also found out there was an elevator in the house that happened to run directly to the library.
The second floor Charlie said he wanted a bedroom on this floor. There was also a bathroom and six other spare bedrooms each with bathrooms.
The third floor had lots of potential. It was one big room, all the walls had been removed and had one bathroom. There was one level to the room that was raised by a foot I knew that when I got my grand piano I would know exactly where to put it. I asked Charlie if I could have this room as my studio for my art and music. Charlie agreed and we took the elevator down to the basement.
The basement was also one large room with a bathroom. There were four huge alcoves coming off the main part. I wanted this to be my bedroom. Chad, Jamie, and I could hang curtains in each of the alcoves so they were like separate rooms. I could have a workout room, sketch room, a sitting room in the alcove that had a door and stairway leading up and out, and I could set up the second set of recording equipment down here and the first up in my gallery, as I had started calling it(the top floor). I could set up the king size bed in the main part. Hang up Nick's flag on the staircase or on the wall down here. I could put pictures up in the stairway leading down. The floor was already covered in a white fluffy carpet that was softer than any carpet I had ever felt. I had so many ideas. Charlie agreed to let me have this as my bedroom seeing as there was a door that led right out of the house.
I was so happy this house was awesome. I took pictures of every part of the house with my camera and then uploaded it to my computer to load onto facebook.
I saw Jamie, Chad, and Marrisa were on. I said hi and told them to look at the pictures of my new house.
They all agreed it was an awesome house. Then I signed off of facebook and started shopping for furniture and decor. Charlie had told me we had a bunch of furniture from his grandparents and parents houses when they died and we could use that furniture. Charlie gave me pictures of every piece of furniture so I could start grouping the furniture into rooms. Charlie also said all the furniture was going to be dropped off in a few days. I then started walked into the rooms and found out that we had enough furniture to fill every room except my gallery and my bedroom lucky enough.
I went online and looked up desks, tables, chairs, lamps, beds, and comforters. I picked out paint colors as well. I would have this house whipped into shape before the weekend.
I decided to turn in after ordering everything I would need, including a grand piano, and showing it to Charlie to get it approved. Charlie had basically given me free reign over the house and I intended to use that control.
I fell asleep peacefully on the pallet of blankets Charlie had set up for me. I woke up the next day ready to get to work. I had requested everything be dropped off as early in the morning as possible. The paint was sitting at the top of the stairs and I could see many more cans in the foyer. I changed into some mesh shorts and rolled them until I knew the waistband wouldn't fall down my waist. Then I changed into a a black cotton tank top. I put my, below waist length, hair up in a tight bun on the top of my head. I folded up the blankets and got to painting the main part of my room black. That took about four hours with my way of painting. It was now eleven o'clock. I set to painting another one of the rooms a nice mint green. A knock on the door stopped me from starting another room. I realized it was two and that meant my girls were here.
I ran to the door and was met with my family. "Oh my girls" I squealed as I knelt down and was assaulted by them. I scooped them up and turned around.
"Your new house is amazing" Liberty breathed.
"Thanks" I laughed.
I looked up and Jamie was smiling down at me. "You have some paint on your face." I took the cloth out of the waistband of my shorts and handed it to her. She wiped my cheek off and handed it back to me. "Charlie would kill you if he saw what you are wearing."
"Well he better get used to it. I don't plan on ruining good clothes with paint on accident." I laughed.
"Speaking of that little detail. Riss sent a pair of jean shorts with me she wants you to personalize. I threw in a pair of jeans myself." Jamie smiled. One day when I showed up at school I had put on jeans I had throw paint all over when I was mad and suddenly people were paying me to "personalize" clothes for them. Mainly jeans but I had done shirts and bags.
"Well I promised the girls we would go shopping so let's pile into your baby #2 after you change." Jamie said as she pushed me away from her. I headed down the stairs and grabbed some dark blue skinny legged capri's that had been "personalized" and a simple white tank top to put over the black one I was already wearing. I dressed quickly and then hurried back up stairs.
I grabbed my keys, wallet, and cell. "I'm ready" I called as I picked Trinity up. "Let's go." I said happily as I headed outside into the muggy overcast town of Forks.
"Belwa" Trinity sighed softly into my hair that I had let down. I walked over to my black Tahoe hybrid and opened the door for the girls to get in.
Liberty jumped over the seat and stretched out across the bench in the back. Charity crawled across the seats to sit against the far door. Chastity in the middle and then I buckled Trinity into her booster seat while Jamie slid into the passenger seat.
I closed the door and hopped into the driver's seat. I slid my hand over the leather before sticking the key in the ignition.
"You know you're obsessed" Jamie laughed.
"Yes it's a condition." I sighed happily. We both laughed and I drove to the mall in Port Angeles.
**************
Alice's POV
"So I hear the new girl will be at school next week." Rose said as we walked into the store in front of us. I could feel my credit cards aching to be swiped.
"Yeah. Chief Swan's daughter. Did you hear he moved. He's letting his daughter pick the house." I whispered back.
"Sounds like she'll be a stuck-up witch who gets everything she wants." Rose answered.
"Jammy! Belwa! Wet's wook in here" a childish voice called outside of the store. Rose and I ducked out.
A little girl with dirty blonde hair was pulling a tall girl with mahogany hair below her waist who had another dirty blonde haired girl hanging off her back. Running next to her was a light brown haired girl with another dirty-blonde haired girl hanging on her back while an older light brown haired girl ran next to the older girls. They were running towards a toy store with bags already hanging off their arms.
"That little girl was so cute." Rose sighed. "I wonder who that was."
"Let's go spend some money" I squealed as I dragged Rose back into the store.

Bella's POV
After shopping for a few hours. I took the girls back home and started to cook dinner.
Trinity was in one arm while I stirred the spaghetti sauce. "So are you excited to move down closer to Gramma Sulpicia, Granpa Aro, and Grandma Alec. Charity you'll get to ride horses all the time. I'm sure Gramma and Granpa will get you your own horse soon." I said while Jamie, Chad, the girls, cousin's Michael, David, Raphael, and Antonio sat at the counter.
"I can't wait, but I don't want to leave Jams, Rissy, or you." Charity said quietly.
Charlie choose that minute to walk in the door. "There you are Bella. Smells good."
"Thanks Charlie. This is Jamie and her husband Chad. You know Jamie. My angels here are Liberty, Charity, Chastity, and Trinity. Then you know the boys." I said as I pointed out everyone.
"Hey" Charlie said as he walked out of the kitchen.
"Okay the guys can sleep in one of the other rooms. The girls can sleep downstairs with me." I said as I set the food on the table.
"Got it Bella." they called. Charlie joined us at the table and we ate like a big happy family.
*******
I set the blankets out in one long bed for all of us to sleep on. I kissed the girls goodnight and they all cuddled into me for our last night together for a long time. My fingers ran through Trinity's hair to help her fall asleep faster.
************
"Chad your wife's part of this little girl fest." I heard David say. My eyes opened at the words and their implication. David was holding my video camera. I looked and the girls were all snuggled into each other and Jamie was curved into my back how we always slept when we had sleepovers. Granted Jamie wasn't married when we had sleepovers, but still.
"David you're seriously going to say that in a room with four innocent children under the age of fourteen." I hissed as I slid up from the pallet of blankets.
David handed the camera to Chad as I stood. He looked terrified by the time I was standing the whole way. "If any of my girls ask what you meant you are deader than what's coming." I said as I lunged at him. David turned and ran up the stairs. I followed close behind I could hear Chad following us.
David made it to the bottom step before I tackled him. We went rolling in the dirt and gravel. He pulled my hair and I kneed him where it counts. He attacked my ribs with light punches. I gave him a gut punch and hit his eye. I kneed him one more time where the sun don't shine before he started tickling my sides, signaling that our fight was over. We both started laughing and he collapsed on top of me. We were both shaking with laughter. I pushed him off me and stood up. I kicked him lightly between the legs and then turned away we were both still laughing. David stayed on the ground holding where I kicked him three times.
Chad was standing there shaking with laughter. "Chad do the people who watch this really need to see my finer moments." I laughed exhaustedly.
"Bella" Charity called out as she came flying off the stairs. I reached out to catch her. "Bella what did David do to you to do that to him?" Charity asked.
"Sweetie you don't want to know, but later I will show you the footage to show you how to beat up a guy. Of course you show no mercy when beating up a real guy." I laughed.
"Hey" David called from on the ground behind me.
I turned to face him with Charity balanced on my hip. "Don't talk. You're the one on the ground not me." I turned to walk in the house to start breakfast.
"Dude you just got school by a girl." Michael laughed at his brother.
"You tell him Michael" I laughed over my shoulder.
Charlie came down the stairs chuckling. I smiled at him and passed him some juice. "I'm guessing I don't need to worry about you in a fight" he laughed.
"Mr. Swan you never need to worry about Bella. We have video footage of how dangerous she can get. Especially when her family or angels are involved." Jamie said as she came up carrying Chastity and Liberty followed behind her carrying Trinity.
"Good morning girls" I called as I scrambled some eggs with Charity hanging on my side. The eggs were done and I set the table.
"Raphael. Antonio. Get your lazy butts up. Michael, Chad, help David up and get in here." I called.
The boys scurried in and sat at the table. I sat the food at the table and everyone dug in.
"What time do you guys plan on leaving?" I asked between mouthfulls of eggs.
"In a few hours." Chad answered and glared at the other guys daring them to object.
"Okay" I mumbled.
Charlie stood up, "Bells I have to go to work."
"Bye Dad" I called after him. My family sat eating and we discussed how everything was going. I knew I was going to miss them when they were gone. I barely know Charlie so I can't really count on him for comfort.
The moment they left. I was alone.
