You Don't Know Anything

Chapter Six

BPOV

Oh my God!

I can't believe I just felt up a man… at a dinner table… in front of his whole family and the Chief of Police… and with my baby in the next room napping…

I'm not sure things can get sicker than that… Oh my God!

Is this normal? No, Damn it! That's not normal! You are supposed to be raising a kid! You are supposed to be a mommy! Is this how mommies act? No!

But that damn Adonis was totally asking for it… he almost got me to orgasm in front of the whole lot! That handsome jerk knew what notes to play… and he played them well.

And to think I'll have to go to school with this kid, heck… I don't think my brains will have the energy to banter more than I'd already had…

But let's trace back what led me to this stupid situation… okay, think…

First, it was the store, I mean he was trying to bag me and he was totally asking for it… good, good…

Second, it was the moment I met him at his parents' house and he actually called me Righteous Spiteful Bitch! And in front of his mother, nonetheless! Definitely asking for it!

Third and last it was that stunt under the table! I can't believe that a stranger whom I had known for less than an hour had felt me up under the table!

Members of the jury, all in favour of convicting a one Edward Cullen of being the insufferable devil of Adonis say Aye… All Jury members: AYE!

Thank you!

A long sigh left my lungs. Still I think I might want to apologize to ease the guilt I was feeling for what I had done to him… yep, that's what I'm going to do. I had no right and it wasn't my place to stoop to his level. I just came back home an hour ago and I was already beating myself up over that shit I did! I sighed again, holding JC who was wrapped up in his towel to my chest after giving him his bath, heading for my bedroom to dress him.

Once I was done, I put him in his crib and went down stairs to bring his bottle for his last meal before putting him to bed. Entering the kitchen, I noticed that Charlie was standing there staring blankly out the window. "Hey, dad. Is everything okay?" I asked him grabbing a drink of water and sipping on some of it.

"What's going on with that Cullen boy, Bella?" he asked calmly as I chocked so hard on the water, coughing the life out of me. Shit! Oh dear God, please God, tell me he hadn't notice anything, I'll be good, I'll never do anything bad again, pleasegodpleasegodpleasegod…

"Uh… what do you mean, dad? What is there to be? I just met all of them?" I asked him trying to guess how much he knows or doesn't know. "I mean that boy was all being sweet and charming his way with the baby and all… I don't like that at all Bella. Of all the Cullen kids, that boy is trouble. I want you to stay away from him. I swear if I hadn't known his parents, I could have sworn that he was adopted. But, the resemblance between him and his mother is remarkable. But that's about it. All the reputation that he had gathered here is grotesque. Not to mention that I had caught him speeding and he has some tickets to pay… so, basically I want you to stay clear of him" he said calmly not breaking a sweat.

I almost sighed loudly. Thank God he hadn't seen what had happened between Satan's spawn and myself. And I'm sure that all what he was saying was true, but it ticked me off that he was telling me what to do, like I can't judge or think for myself. Which was true in that case, but still…

"Don't worry, dad. Nothing is happening with him. He was trying to be nice to me, because his mom told him to act nice. Nothing more" I replied warily. "Plus, why would he be interested in me. I mean… I'm a mother and way out of his league. I have brains, which is something I'm sure he'd never dealt with before. And I can take care of myself and JC. You know you don't have to worry about me, right dad?" I said, trying to coax him out of the thought that he needs to be concerned about me in that sense.

He shifted his gaze towards me, seeing that I had a serious look on my face. He nodded mutely and sighed. "Okay, Bells. I just worry about you, you know that. I mean you already have so many things to worry about. No need to add to those right now. You are a smart kid, even though you had ended with that small cute 'accident' of yours." He finished with a sad smile on his face. "Speaking of small and cute, where is my grandson?" he asked with a bright smile, trying to reduce the tension from that last remark of his.

"I'm here to bring him his bottle. I just gave him a bath and once he's done with this he'll be ready for bed." I said bringing the bottle that I had prepared before from the bottle warmer and testing the temperature of the milk on my skin to make sure it wasn't hot enough for the baby. Satisfied, I looked up to see that Charlie was staring at me with a tender expression on his face. "You remind me of your mother, Bella. She used to have that same loving expression in her eyes when working on anything that's related to you when you were a baby, she loved you so much…

"Look, Bells, I know I was harsh on you when you got here and I know that you didn't plan this. I can't say that I don't wish that the order of things was a little different. But, Bella, know this… I'll never be anything but proud of having you for a daughter, you know that, right? And having JC here is a real thrill to my miserable life. I honestly can say that these few hours I've had you here, were really great." He said with a genuine smile.

I stared at him for a minute with my eyes brimming with tears then approached him and wrapped my arms around him tightly. "Thank you, dad. I really needed to hear that. Thank you" I whispered to him looking up at him, he smiled sadly at me and I could see that his eyes were welling with unshed tears too. "Now, let's go see my grandson. Did you see how he was smiling at me? He actually held my finger…" he was saying with a goofy smile on his face like a boy who had just gotten his new toy.

I smiled and went with him to give JC his bottle. Huh… that was unexpected; I just hope that things keep going on that well… or at least not get worse.

The next couple of days went in a haze of unpacking and making lists of what's needed for JC and myself. Alice, or the pixie, as I'd found myself calling her, had offered to take me to the mall in Port Angeles to do the major shopping there.

I hadn't seen Satan's twin since that disastrous dinner. And I had known from Esme that they had taken the car privileges from him for a month for that small tirade he had with me and apparently when she told his dad about that small incident in that convenience store, it didn't help much. So, basically he was ride-less because of me now and I was already dreading meeting him again.

I had agreed with Alice to be prepared at 8 in the morning, a week before school, for our shopping trip. I got up at six, checking on JC and making sure he was still asleep after one hellish night of constant crying and whimpering from his bad cramps, I made my way to the bathroom for my morning rituals. After I was done with my business, I got into a real quick shower. Getting out of the shower and wrapping myself in a towel, I stood by the sink to brush my teeth. I looked at my reflection and groaned loudly. I had more dark circles under my eyes and my skin was even paler than before which I couldn't believe was possible, until I saw my damn reflection.

"Shit!" I got a bit closer to the mirror to trace the shadows under my eyes with my fingers and sighed. Oh well, what did I expect? I'm taking care of a baby… And I knew it was no picnic.

I made my way into my room and put on a pair of faded jeans and a simple black shirt. Pulling up my hair in a sloppy ponytail, making sure that JC was still asleep, I got down stairs to the kitchen to prepare a quick breakfast for Charlie and myself. Grabbing some eggs and milk, I decided to make some French toast. As I started preparing the breakfast, I heard some ruffling upstairs and hurried a bit, knowing that Charlie will be down any minute now.

"Morning, Bells. Mmmm… smells good in here, what's cookin'?" he gave me a small kiss on the cheek and sat down as I was putting some in his plate.

"French toast. I remember you used to like it?" I asked him as I plated some for me and before I sat down I heard him humming happily as he started inhaling his breakfast. Honestly, it's like he's tasting food for the first time in his life…

I sat down and quickly ate my breakfast. Charlie was done with his breakfast in record time, maybe next time I'll time him and see if he breaks his own record, and was out of the door after putting his plate in the dishwasher and with a quick 'thanks'.

After I was done, I put my dish in the dishwasher and prepared all the bottles for JC for our day out and prepared his bag. I grabbed one of the bottles and made my way upstairs to give him his breakfast.

By the time I had given JC his breakfast and gave him his bath it was already time for Alice to come for us to start our journey. Just as I was thinking that it was time, I heard the doorbell ring. I held JC's bag and placed it near the door. I started to unlock the door smiling, "You are a little early Ali-" I cut myself off as I was met with a cold pair of green eyes staring down at me.

The green-eyed incubus was actually standing at my door with the look that conveys the 'if looks could kill' message and a stiff posture that would make you think that he would snap if someone tried to push him. He was wearing dark jeans with a black button-down shirt that had emphasized the colour of his hair and pale skin. I swear he was trying to avenge what I had done to him… if his gaze didn't kill me, the way he looked would sure do the trick, damn!

"Are you ready?" he asked me in a grave low tone. Wait… what?

"Umm… yeah. Uh, why are you here? Where is Alice? She's supposed to come with me to the mall?" I said in a small voice taking a step back with the look of horror, I'm sure, on my face.

Once he saw my reaction, he relaxed his posture a bit and eyed me for a few seconds taking in my less-than-stellar appearance. I'm sure he had noticed that I looked like hell and he was taking pity on me.

"She's on her way. She just asked me to come and check if you needed any help setting up your things in the car. Since you'll be holding the baby, she… I mean we thought I could help you put the stuff in the car, just to save time."

He narrowed his eyes as he focused his glance on the circles under my eyes. I didn't change my stance as I was still a bit scared of how he was looking at me. I blinked a few times trying to get words to form and failing miserably.

He closed his eyes and shook his head as if trying to clear his head. He shifted his gaze towards his house for a moment, as if he was looking for something and looked back at me.

"Look. I don't even want to know what you are thinking with all that fear in your eyes. God knows, if I was a vampire you wouldn't be this scared…" he said quickly with serious eyes and then sighed running his fingers through his unruly hair.

He took a deep breath and looked at me again, "Listen. I know I acted like a total jerk to you and I admit it was intentional. I liked how you looked and I wasn't thinking strait. But still, that didn't give you the right to rat me out. Hell! You have been around the block as anyone can see; so why couldn't you just take it and shut up about it… I mean you already said what you wanted to say at the store. You could have left it at that. But no, you had to come here and ruin my life. Because of you, Miss Virtue, I lost my car privileges for a month, had to sit through the whole 'parent talk' and now I have to be your slave for the day in order to gain some points that would get me back my car. Happy now?" he said with venom almost dripping with every word, he was coming closer to me till our faces were almost touching.

I started at him shell-shocked. He's saying this is my fault. "Seriously? No, I mean… seriously? You are actually blaming your situation on me? How? I mean… Are you crazy? I didn't ask for any of this! I didn't even want to meet you again. Do you think with the way you treated me at the store that I would want to speak to you again, let alone know you? No, Pinhead. I know my mistakes and believe me, knowing people like you wasn't one of them.

"But on the other hand, you don't know anything! Not about me, not about what got me into this situation. And you know what… I don't think your little brain can even begin to comprehend the tiniest bit of what I'm going through. So, guess what you jerk. I don't care what you think of me. And, if I was feeling guilty before for getting you into trouble, now it all disappeared. I can't believe that I was actually considering apologizing to you for what I had done…" I trailed off shaking my head at him, heading back into the house and wiping my traitorous tears with the back of my hand.

Oh God, I'm so tired… so drained, both emotionally and physically. I wish James was here. I made my way to the bathroom not bothering to even look at the door where I left him. Listening for any sounds that JC might be making, I closed the door behind me.

I took a few deep breaths willing my tears to stop spilling. When I was calm enough, I sprayed my face with cold water then dampened a small towel with the cold water and pressed gently to my eyes to ease the redness and puffiness.

I stayed there for almost fifteen minutes until everything was almost gone, I got out and rather heard the pixie before I saw her.

"Bella! There you are! Are you ready? Is everything set?" she trailed off once she took in my appearance. "Yes, pixie. All set. I was just freshening up; I had a really rough night. JC didn't stop crying at all because of his cramps. And I got up really early so that I can get everything ready for our shopping trip" I smiled at her sweetly trying not to make direct eye contact.

"Bella… are you okay? What happened?" she asked in a hushed voice.

"Of course, pixie. Haven't you ever seen a person taking care of a baby? Well, this is your heads up warning for what you're up for once you have a baby one day" I laughed getting in a lighter mood this time looking her square in the eye, feeling a bit in an uplifted mood. I'm not going to make what happened earlier ruin my day. I mean he didn't say anything wrong. Well, not true. But still I'm not going to let him get to me.

I looked for JC's bag and was told that it was already in the car. I went upstairs to get JC; I locked the house and made my way to the car. I saw that he who must not be approached was standing near my car with the JC's bag and stuff in his hands.

He had a contemplative look on his face while staring intently at me, as if trying to make sense of some dilemma or a riddle. I lowered my gaze and continued to make my way to him.

I saw Alice from the corner of my eye looking between us, so I decided to give him a little smile to show that everything was normal. God, I wish things were different, how can things get so wrong so quickly. I'm sure he was feeling guilty for his small banter at me; I looked at him with a small smile, "Thank you for your help" once my sentence was done, I was blushing furiously.

He looked at me surprised with his mouth open and shook his head as if trying to register what I had said. He cocked his head a bit and gave me a breath-taking smile, which got me gaping in return. "You are most welcome, Bella." He said in a melodic voice. Oh my God, did he just say my name in that tone. I stood by him for a few seconds staring at him like an idiot, causing him to chuckle a bit. With that chuckle my breath caught in my throat. I stood there a few more seconds, feeling myself getting a bit dizzy.

"Breathe, Bella." Alice said giggling. Apparently what she saw made her comfortable that everything was normal.

I unlocked the car and asked them to get in while I strapped JC in his car-seat.

"Bella, why don't you get in the back seat and try to get some rest. It's going to be a bit more than an hour before we reach the mall. I'll wake you up once we are there. You look dead on your feet, no offence. And I'm really starting to feel guilty for dragging you up this early." Alice said in a sweet tone and a sad smile.

"It's okay, Alice. Really, I'm fine. And, no offence taken, so don't worry. I told you this was expected when you are taking care of an infant." I said to her smiling and making my way to the driver's seat.

"Well, I should tell you this… I'm not sure how things worked in Phoenix, but they don't allow zombies to drive here in the State of Washington… and I sure am not letting you drive me anywhere in that state of yours" forked-tongue was out full force!

"Edward!" Alice gave him the sharpest gaze her blue eyes could muster. Shit! She even scared me.

"And you think I'd let you drive like a maniac with my child and me in the car? I know about your speeding tickets, Mister," I told him with my hands on my hips looking up at him. He approached me and looked me in the face. He looked like someone who had made up his mind and he held a certain look of sadness mixed with guilt in his eyes.

"Bella, you need to rest…" he said in a clear voice before approaching me some more, whispering…

"Get in the fucking back seat, Bella, and get some sleep. You need to gain some strength back. You look like shit. Fuck! Don't make me feel guiltier than I am already feeling…" he made sure that I alone could hear him. And then he uttered the one word that I'd never thought I would hear come pass those beautiful lips.

"Please…" he actually said that word and his eyes were pleading with me. I couldn't speak from the shock. I looked at Alice who was still staring daggers at Edward and decided to show her that all was well. I smiled a little at her and she relaxed a bit and got in the passenger's seat. I looked up at Edward who was still looking at me worriedly.

Giving him a small smile, I nodded my head. In return he gave me that damn crooked grin of his and sighed. He had a warm gleam in his eyes as he leaned in and whispered, "Thank you, love".

My head whipped around to look at him with wide eyes, not even noticing how close we were. Our noses were almost touching and I could smell his sweet breath fanning my face. Our eyes locked for a good thirty seconds not daring to break our eye contact. His eyes then shifted to my lips and made their way back to my eyes. He came closer to me his lips barely brushing my lower lip. I felt like I was hit by an electric shock. All breath left my lungs and my knees started to buckle. I almost hit the ground if it wasn't for the strong arms that encircled me holding me up.

"Bella, are you okay?" he asked anxiously, while holding me to his chest. "Umm… yeah. I'm fine. Let me just sit…" I said in a low tone as I couldn't find my voice. He smiled brightly at me, shaking his head. He held me to his body with one arm, while opening the back door with his other hand. He helped me get settled and went to sit in the driver's seat.

I saw him adjusting his seat and then the rear-view mirror till our eyes were locked in mirror. He held my gaze for a few seconds and then looked out of the windshield starting the car. I reached for my bag and grabbed my favourite CD handing it to Alice. "Is it okay if you play this CD? Usually it relaxes me and keeps the baby quiet even if he wakes up."

"Sure, Bella. I listen to all kind of stuff. I don't mind one bit." Popping the CD into the stereo and pushing some buttons to start playing the CD. "Um… is it okay with you, Edward? I don't want to make you listen to something you don't like since you are the one who's driving…" I trailed off as Debussy started to play.

He looked at me through the rear-view mirror shocked, the same shock that was on Alice's face. Hmm… was I missing something? "Umm… guys I can change it, you really don't have to listen to it. It's just something that I like…" I said reaching to the CD player from between the front seats. I was almost touching the CD player when a firm grip got a hold of my hand. I traced the hand with my eyes to its owner, Adonis.

"Leave it, Bella. I have the same CD…" he said looking at me with a big goofy grin on his face. I looked at Alice who was still staring at me with shock on her face. "Don't' worry, Bella. I know this music… it's kind of uh… familiar" she finished with a goofy grin that matched her brother while looking at him.

I, sure as hell, am missing something here… oh, well…

I leaned back in my seat and tried to get comfortable enough to nap, while Edward started driving making his way out of the neighbourhood.

I looked at the rear-view mirror again and saw that the green-eyed driver was peeking at me. I smiled at him and saw his eyes wrinkle a bit at the sides, signalling that he was smiling at me too. I sighed and closed my eyes trying to get some rest.

It felt like I only closed my eyes for a few moments when I felt someone tapping my shoulder. "Bella… Love, you have to wake up, we have arrived…" a smooth voice said quietly. Hmm… I'm sure heaven will be an amazing place to live at with this angel talking sweetly to me.

Then, I heard a low whimper and that got me to yank myself from sleep world and sit up quickly. "JC… is the baby okay? What happened?" I said to the angel who was bending over me trying to wake me.

"Bella, relax… we just got here. And JC just woke up, don't worry!" Edward said with a chuckle. I looked beside me and the car-seat was empty. "Where is JC?" I asked panicking just as Alice came from behind Edward carrying JC in her arms.

"Sorry, Bella. I wanted to give you more time to sleep since you seemed to need it. But I think he's hungry…" Alice said sweetly looking at me apologetically. Edward backed away a bit making room for Alice to hand me JC. I grabbed his bottle from the bottle warmer and tested the milk on my skin as usual. I cradled JC to me giving him his bottle, looking up to see 'my wake-up-call' staring at me intently. He had the same calculating gaze he had when he was standing by the car before our journey.

"Sorry, guys… it will only take a few minutes. But he's really hungry…" I trailed off blushing and looking down at JC, waiting for him to finish his meal.

"It's okay, Bella. We have all the time." Alice replied sweetly, running her fingers through JC's hair while watching him drinking his milk. I noticed Edward was leaning against the car parked beside us with his arms crossed still staring at me.

When JC was done I burped him and handed him to Alice so that I can grab the necessities for us to start our Journey at the mall.

I locked the car, wore my baby pouch and placed a sleeping JC in it leaning making sure that his face was leaning against my collarbone. I bent my knees a bit to grab the baby's bag and put it on my shoulder but someone snatched from under my grasp before I even touched it.

"Well, since you have the baby. I'll be holding this thing." I heard Edward saying from beside me and he placed the bag on his shoulder. I smiled at him and thanked him.

"Alice, lead the way…" I said with a smirk.

"Buckle up, people. I say we have a bumpy ride ahead of us." She said with a grave tone while eyeing me appraisingly, apparently remembering what I had told her during dinner about my aversion to shopping.

With a long sigh and one hand holding JC to me while the other holding the strap of my purse to my shoulder, I made my way to the mall behind Alice with Edward tagging along behind us.

X-O-X-O-X-O-X-O-X-O-X-O-X-O-X

After a good four hours of some furniture items and baby stuff shopping; I was about to pass out from exhaustion. Edward, the evil twit, kept chuckling every time I tried to argue with her about not needing something or already having it. Evil I tell you…

That pixie was crazy, thank God for the money that Tanya had loaned me. She was a life saver! I'll have to remember to give her a call to tell her how everything was going.

"Alice… can we take a break. It's noon already! I need to change JC's diaper and give him his bottle… Maybe we can have lunch after that?" I pleaded with her leaning against one of the walls, since I was about to collapse.

"Oh, come on, Bella. We still have time for lunch. Oh, look! That store has sales on baby stuff, let's go peop-" she was cut off as Edward made his presence known for the first time since we had entered the mall; he held her arm and pointed at me with the index of the other hand.

"Pixie, look at the poor kid. She's been carrying her baby for the past four hours and she hadn't even complained! Give her a break for heaven's sake. I already have lots of stuff to take to the car and my feet are killing me here!" He told her with an irritated tone.

She looked at me apologetically, "Sorry, Bella. I just forget myself when I'm shopping. I had forgotten that you were holding JC the whole time. He's quite an angel, you know. Not like the other babies I've seen. He's so quiet…" she said while caressing JC's face with her fingers and was awarded with him cooing at her softly.

"Okay, I will meet you both in the food court in about half an hour and then we can grab lunch. How does that sound?" I asked them waiting for their okay.

They both nodded and I grabbed the bag from Edward making my way to the 'mother & baby' restroom. I got to my business quickly feeding and changing JC. I found out that I had a good ten minutes to spare, I made my way back to the food court taking a seat at a small Chinese restaurant, letting out a long sigh as I leaned back.

I looked around for a minute before hearing someone clearing their throat beside me. I looked up to see a very sweet looking blond guy, around my age, with an amazing pair of blue eyes smiling sweetly at me. I smiled at him. He reminded me a lot of James. He was wearing the restaurant's uniform, holding a pen and a small notepad to take the orders.

"Um… Hi, can I get you anything, miss?" he asked me expectantly, the smile never leaving his face.

"Actually, I was waiting for my friends to join me. They'll be here any minute…" I trailed off, holding the sleeping JC to my chest. The handsome stranger looked down from my face to JC and leaned down to stroke his hair tenderly. "Is he yours?" he asked not looking at me, still stroking JC's hair.

"His name is JC and he's definitely mine." I said smiling down at the sleeping bundle in my arms.

"He's a beautiful, baby… just like his mother…" he smiled sweetly at me and I couldn't help but smile back.

"Back off, Newton!" a menacing voice said gravely from over my shoulder. My head whipped around to see the Angel of Death himself with his blazing green eyes standing to claim his next prey.
