Our Sweet Bella

Author Notes: Thank you to everyone who commented and added to favourite list or story alert.

As promised I will try and bring a chapter every other day, while I'm on holiday. I was generally wondering if people think I'm moving to slow with this story, I do have a plan, but I want to have quite a few chapters with Bella as a child, things with Edward right now are going very slow, but this is how imagine it would go, I see them as friends at the beginning and they are slowly, but their will be more Bella/ Edward interactions to come I promise. In this chapter Bella is five almost six and its first day of school. Well thank you and please enjoy and comment.

Chapter 7

Bella's POV

"I'm going to be late." I yelled from the stairs. I can't believe Alice got me up early to get me ready for my first day of school and I'm going to be late because she can't find the camera. It's only school, and I have many years ahead of me to go and Alice thought she needed to document the day. Mommy and Rosalie were getting my back pack ready.

"Keep your skirt on Bella, you won't be late." Alice said coming down the stairs, balancing the camera in her hand. "Now stand on the first step and smile." I refused and just folded my arms across my chest and sulked, a position that I had seen Emmett do thousands of times.

"You spend too much time with Emmett. You look like Emmett when Rosalie drags him shopping." Alice pointed out; Emmett was behind her with a huge grin on his face. "Please Bella, look happy, its first day of school, you should be happy." I huffed but listened and pulled a big smile. Alice took two pictures.

Rosalie came in the room and passed me my bag, I swung it over and Alice had to take a picture of that as well. Rosalie hugged me and kissed me on the head.

"I've put a my mobile phone in the front pocket and you ring me at lunch time or if you have any problems." Rosalie said, I nodded and thanked her. Emmett came to hug me as well. Slipping a few things in my hands, the bull horn, he woke me up with on my first night here and a whoopee cushion.

"The bull horns if someone get's on your nerves and they won't leave you alone." Emmett said laughing. "Remember little sis, if any one picks on you, to come straight to me, I'll take care of them." He added more seriously. I nodded again.

Edward came up to me next. He didn't hug me, but passed me his I-pod.

"I think before you resort to drastic measures." Edward said shooting a look at Emmett. "You might want to try and drown people out with music, remember this is just a loan, I expect this back afterwards." I thanked him and grabbed the phone.

"Yeah take the easy way but the quickest way to get some one away from you is using the bull horn." Emmett grumbled.

"Come on Emmett lets not scare Bella, she'll be thinking she's going to war, the way you're going on." Mommy said grabbing her car keys.

"If she was going to war, I'm sure Jasper has a left grenade she can borrow." Emmett shot back at her. "Hey Bella if you do want the grenade ring me." Emmett said, as a joke I was hoping but he looked serious. Mommy quickly pushed me out the door.

Me and Mommy were standing outside Seattle elementary school I swallowed and hid my head in Mommy's chest.

"Come on Bella darling, you'll be fine." Mommy whispered in my ear. She stroked my hair soothingly. I closed my eyes but was able to calm myself down and step away from Mommy's loving embrace.

"I'm ready, but what if no one like's me." I whispered. Mommy dropped on one knee and looked me in the eye and smiled.

"Bella, you are one of the sweetest people I know, it will be impossible for someone not to like you and in the off chance someone doesn't like you, then they are not Worthing getting to know." Mommy said and said it so nicely, it was almost impossible not to believe. She held her hand out and I took it, might as well get it over with. We made it over to the main reception; we were told that all first year children are to go in to the main hall.

Mommy hugged me and kissed me on the head and told me that she will come to pick me up at home time. The lady shown me in to the main hall, where a bunch of children were sitting on the floor, so I sat on the end.

"Welcome boys and girls to Seattle elementary." A loud voice boomed from the front, I fixed my eyes to the front of the room, where a lady in a long black skirt and a white shirt and her hair pulled back severely. "I am Mrs Pritchard and I am your head Mistress and remember I am here for any problems you may have." I thought that I would never go to her for her problems she was scary. Maybe not as scary and big as Emmett but she made me uncomfortable.

"We have split you in to three classes and when you hear your name please file out of the door quietly." One by one the teachers called the names of their group, as I waited patiently waited for my name.

"Isabella Cullen." One of the teachers called out so I went to stand by the other students who were by the door. We were lead in to a medium sized room. My teacher's name was Mrs Wade and seemed really nice, the whole morning we played games, to get to know our class mates. The morning went quickly and before I knew it was time for lunch.

At lunch time I went to sit next to the girls who sat next to me in class, we were talking generally about school work and what we liked to do in our free time. I was disappointed when everyone said that they couldn't play the piano. I didn't need Emmett's bull horn and I didn't feel tempted to use the whoopee cushion on anyone. I also didn't need any music to drown out any voices.

Rosalie's POV

Could this day go any slower, I didn't leave the house all day, just in Bella needed me, what if some one picked on her, what if she falls over and get hurts.

"Would you calm down Rosalie, your getting on my nerves, Bella will be fine." Jasper said as I got up to clean something for the hundredth time. I kept on asking Alice to check up on Bella but after a while she said that it was spying and thought that it was unfair on Bella and the school would phone if something went wrong.

At 3:00 Emmett and I went to pick her up from school, it was meant to be just me but Emmett begged me to take him as well, he said he missed the little squirt. When we got to the school Emmett started to give children who were alone evil glares and small evil smiles. One of the young lads burst in to tears and ran in to his Mother's hands. Bella came out and saw the young lad now telling his Mom about the mean old man. Bella got in to the bag and glared at Emmett.

"What did you do Emmett?" Bella asked Emmett automatically. Emmett looked shocked and wounded.

"What did I do, I was the perfect gentleman." Emmett said. I rolled my eyes and started the car up.

"I know you Emmett and you are never the perfect gentleman." Bella stated, Emmett still denied it. "What did he do Rosalie?" Bella turned to me.

"Evil glares and smiles." I answered, Bella moaned.

"Great Emmett, now people will think I'm a freak." Bella mumbled.

"You're a Cullen, we're all freaks." Emmett answered I hit Emmett over the head. That maybe true we are freaks, but not my precious Bella.

"You're not helping Emmett." I said sternly but decided to change the subject. "How about I take my best girl out for Ice cream?" Bella instantly brightened up.

"I thought I couldn't have Ice cream before dinner." Bella said.

"Usually but today is a special day and I want to hear all about it." I wouldn't get to talk to her later especially if she to have another piano lesson. Bella has taken to the piano really well for such a young girl and she is loving it and she is on it every night with Edward, Esme practically has to tear her away from it at bed time.

When we got to the ice cream shop, after Bella ordered, I started grilling her about school.

"What's your teacher like?" I asked.

"Her name's Mrs Hade and she seems really nice." Bella answered.

"Did you make any friends?" I asked knowing that Bella would have made lot's of friends, who wouldn't want to be friends with her.

"I went to dinner with these two girls named, Phoebe and Tiffany, they were really nice." The rest of the conversation carried on like this. After Bella had eaten she looked at me and Emmett confused.

"Why do you never eat?" That question I was not prepared for.

"What do you mean, I eat all the time." I thought I would never have to lie to Bella but sometimes it was necessary. It wasn't lying really, we technically eat, just not like Bella does.

"I don't think I have ever seen you eat." Oh god how was I going to explain this, we decided as a family not to tell Bella for a while until it was necessary and not until she was older, we were trying to protect her. Next minute Emmett grabbed Bella's Ice cream bowl and grabbed the spoon and flicked it in Bella's face.

"Orr Emmett that is cold, you are so dead." Bella complained trying to grab the bowl of Emmett.

"Bring it on little squirt." Emmett said laughing, the one good thing about Emmett is he knew how to distract people from a tense situation. That's one of the things I loved about him the most. I shot him a grateful look. Emmett smiled and winked at me.

"Thank you." I whispered to quiet for Bella to hear.

"Your welcome." Emmett whispered back.

When we came home, Bella went to tell Esme about her day and I decided to talk to Carlisle about me and Bella's conversation. Carlisle was in his study, doing some of his paper work.

"We have a problem Carlisle." I said the moment I walked in, I was to nervous for pleasantries.

"What happened?" Carlisle asked now nervous by my tone.

"Me and Emmett took Bella for ice cream after school and we were talking about her day and after she finished her ice cream she asked me why we I never eat." I said quickly. "I tried to shake her off and say that I eat but she pointed out that she hasn't once seen me eat."

"What did you say?" Carlisle asked.

"I didn't need to say anything Emmett distracted her, with a food fight, but I don't think it will stop her asking." Carlisle thought for a moment, he had to come up with a plan, he always does. What if he suggests that we tell Bella everything and I ended up losing her forever?

"I think we have to see it through, if she asks again, say that you aren't hungry or you'll eat later." Carlisle suggested.

"Do you think she'll buy that, Bella is more observant than we thought, she won't buy that forever." I said.

"No she won't buy that forever, but it might work for a while, we will tell her but not yet, she's too young she might not be able to handle the truth yet." I nodded in agreement, hoping that day never came, I want Bella to be my little girl forever.
