First Steps to Completing Home

Charlie POV~

What am I going to do? It's Bella's first day of school; I checked over the safety of her truck again this morning, made sure she was prepared for her day and that she'd be warm and comfortable. Yet I still feel like something is missing or is going to go wrong. Ugh, just go to her school Charlie. Tell her that, what? It's not like there isn't anything I couldn't text her or ca… That's it she doesn't have the phone I bought her yet. I'll just tell her I was going to wait for tonight but couldn't because I was getting to excited for her to have it and a little anxious without having her have a way to call in emergency's.

I texted Alice quick so she could be prepared seeing as how it will be lunch time for them both by the time I get there. I can't wait to see her face. I've been saving up for a while to get us both iPhones. There not something that a Chief of police in a small town can normally afford but, I wanted to do something nice for my baby girl. I know I bought her clothes and a truck; well I don't really count it as I bought it because Alice helped.

She gave me a "tip" for a stock that would give me just enough money to get some clothes and help pay for the truck, which I personally think she bought before she told me about it and just resold it to me for way below the asking price. There is no way that, that truck was only $1,000. There's hardly any rust and it runs so smooth. I also noticed while I was going over it this morning that it "magically" has to brand new top of the line brakes and the oil was topped off.

I was pulled out of my musings when I pulled up to the school parking lot. I shuddered at the thought of how one of the younger female teachers blatantly flirted and offered her "services for any help" I may be in need of when I enrolled Bella last week. She obviously has no shame. Even if I hadn't already met my other half I would have told her no in fear of STD's or my respectable reputation becoming one of a sleazy Chief.

I walked into the cafeteria my thoughts trained on finding my daughter so I can talk to her while I give her the phone and maybe discern why I am feeling like something's not right. As I was looking around I noticed a lot of the guys in here were trying to subtly look in one specific direction. Why, oh why do I have a feeling like their trying to catch a glimpse of my baby girl? I just got her back and their planning on stealing her away. Well their going to find out that there will be no chance in hell for any of what I've busted at parties.

When I get close I find my suspicions proven right but, now everyone is looking between a hiding Bella, most likely trying to avoid the looks or hide her most current blush, and me. As I walk they spread out and give me room. Now I feel the stares on me coming from the teenage girls. What is it with the female population in this town? First it was a teacher when I was enrolling Bella, now girls who are the around her age.

Please Lord do not let her notice the looks I'm getting or I'll never hear the end of it. She'll most likely threaten to send me to La Push or lock me in my room when her friends are over. It's not that she doesn't want me having the attention of females just not those in her age group and I fully agree. She stopped being friends with some girls in Phoenix because as she put it "Dad it is so annoying they drool over you all the time and are always hinting at," visibly shudders hard. "Gross stuff with you."

She hasn't shown any new friends my picture unless they were guys. She said she blamed me for not being a normal Dad and not ageing ungracefully. She actually told me "You could at least try and make it look like you have a little beer belly." From then on she's always been worried that girls only befriend her to try and get close to me when I would visit her. When I called her name I was still getting stares which she noticed but, thank God, she chose to ignore, for now.

"Bella, hey honey. Can you come and talk to me in the hall quick?"

"Sure Daddy, I'll be right out after I dump my tray." She replied innocently enough. I could tell she put a slight emphasis on Daddy hoping to knock some people out of their starring.

I waited in the hall for what I felt was longer than necessary. I guess it wasn't as innocent of a voice for her to not do anything. When she came out I caught a look of satisfaction that she tried to hide.

"Honey what did you say to them?" I asked her a bit hesitantly. At that she looked a little defeated in that she wasn't able to hide it.

"I simply and kindly reminded them that even though you look young and are younger than their parents you are still my Dad and that they really shouldn't be checking you out. Especially since you are the Chief of Police and would never date a minor." She told me indignantly, like she couldn't believe I had to ask.

"It's okay sweetie. I just don't want you having any problems here and, on your first day at that. Do you forgive me for not thinking you'd defend my reputation with respect?" I gave her my best Daddy Puppy Dog eyes I could pull. Never fails a blush crept up her face that would rival any sun burn she could possibly receive; that is if she could receive any color. I swear after all those years living in the sun and not getting color you'd think she was albino.

"You're forgiven. Hey look at it this way I found out early who I'm never bringing in a thirty-foot radius of you and, they know I won't stand for any grossness." During her whole rant she got quieter and the quieter she became the redder she became. I wonder how red she got while she was chewing them out on etiquette for meeting someone's parent or parents.

"Uh, well, yeah that's not why I'm here so um, yeah. Okay I came here because I bought you a phone that I was going to give you tonight but just couldn't wait. Here, take it." I told her stuttering out the first sentence in embarrassment and feeling my face turn a slight red. "I thought you would like it. I saved up for yours and mine. I went ahead and loaded it up with what I knew you like. There's a little bit of everything; country Toby Keith, Brad Praisly, can't remember who else, metal: Metallica, Mega Death and others, hip-hop, alternative rock some Claire-de Lune, Cherry Poppin' Daddy's. Sorry I'm rambling. I uh, just hope you like it."

"Dad you're the best! You didn't need to do this. You certainly didn't need to, I mean I li…" She tried to protest but, I cut her off by raising my hand.

"Bella Bean, let me do this. I finally have you home. I demand the right to spoil you any way I can and will certainly abuse that right." I explained. "Do you understand me?" I finished mockingly stern trying to hold off a smirk. "Let's go back in you have ten minutes of lunch. We don't want people thinking I'm breaking you out of here your first day. Besides I want to introduce you to some kids that I know who are well behaved. Don't worry their not boring, well that I know of." I told her.

When we got in there I spotted the Cullen's. I steered her over there and stood a little bit back not wanting to intrude too much on their personal space and I'm sure Bella was sick of being crowded herself. She's like me in that area too. She doesn't like to be in the middle of everything but get's involved anyways.

"Hi guys." I said to them then turned to Bella and told her. "These are Dr. Cullen's kids. I'm sure you'll be keeping him busy in the E.R won't ya Bells." I said earning myself a soft elbow to the ribs. As this was being said I could see guys starring at Bella; some making in appropriate comments along the lines of her being able to "suck my Popsicle" being a specific one. I glanced at Bella to see her looking mortified and her eyes watery.

"Dad," She said softly so only I could here and then louder. "I'm going to go get my stuff so I can just walk out with you and then go to my next class." She didn't give me a chance to answer. I turned to the Cullen's and saw their shocked and appalled expressions and the big one looking more than a bit angry.

"Um, actually that was what I was coming to talk to you about. I was wondering if you could watch out for her. I'm not saying hang out all the time but, you know just keep filth like that away from her please. You all know what it's like to be new; she doesn't have anyone in school here that she knew from before.

All the people she knows are from La Push and I'm sure even with them she wouldn't be comfortable. So could you introduce her to people you know will accept her because of her and not because she's the Chiefs daughter or because they want to be with her because of her looks. I mean you heard that comment and that was with me standing here; granted they couldn't see me past the pillar but, still it's her first day and she's already having to deal with that.

Sorry I ramble sometimes especially when I'm nervous." I looked over my shoulder and noticed she had been roped into a conversation. "I'm going to tell her I have to head out." I said turning back to them. "Think about it at least please? Thanks have a good day."

"Hey kiddo," I said to get her attention; once she turned around I told her I had to go. "See ya at home tonight I bought some groceries and need to unpack them and then get back to the station I'll be home around five. Love you."

"Okay love you too Dad. See you at home I'll make Shrimp Alfredo."

Bella POV~

As I was walking away I couldn't get over that my Dad was going to try and play friend match maker and then to make it worse someone said I could suck their 'Popsicle'. I know they all heard by the looks on their faces and dad stiffening up. I had to get out of there. I made a lame excuse to get my bag and then be back so I could calm down.

When I got back to my table I was roped into a conversation. The only people I felt were being sincere were Angela and Ben. A little bit later he came by telling me he was leaving. I was a little uneasy because, if they made comments with him around what would they say when he wasn't?

I decided to go over and apologize for my Dads odd behavior. As I got closer I became exceedingly nervous about what I was going to say. I couldn't think of anything and was stuck with just winging it.

"Um, hi I just wanted to, uh, say that I had no clue he was going to do that. All he said was that there was some people he wanted me to meet and steered me to your table. Um, yeah that's it, I-I'll b-be going now." I tried to rush it out as fast as I could but stuttered a bit in the beginning and end. As I turned around before they could answer I tripped but, was able to catch myself with the help of a hand on my elbow. I looked up to the face of Angela Webber.

"Hi Bella; you said you have biology sixth period, right?" She asked in genuine nice curiosity.

"Yeah, I do. Why? Please say you do; I could really use a real friendly face and, not gossip vultures. Oops!" I slapped my hand over my mouth after that odd burst of courage caused that rant. "I am so sorry I don't know what made me say that out loud." I told her hastily. She just giggled.

"It's okay Bella. Everything you said was accurate well it applies to Jessica really. Lauren is just stuck up and worried about competition from you. Everyone else is just eager to lo learn about 'the new girl, Chief Swans Daughter'. And well the guys just want to get your attention. Don't worry I'll help you meet the real people. C'mon, we have class missy." She told me as she began to lead me off. Thank God for sending me Angela.

Jasper & Alice POV~

"Don't look at me or feel at me like that. She needed that. All I did was give them shots of courage. If you felt the Chiefs and Bella's turmoil of emotion you would have done the same in my shoes. All I did was get a jump on what we were asked. The father daughter bond between them is so strong it compelled me further."

How dare they judge me. "If you felt how her confidence dwindled and her unease rose when he told her bye you'd understand.

"It's okay Jasper I understand." I was so proud of Jasper for doing that and, for Charlie doing that and obviously blocking his thoughts effectively. Now I just need to try and block mine without being noticeable for three days and it will be perfect. Charlie's impromptu introductions put Bella in Jaspers constant thoughts a lot sooner. It's all perfect now.
