A/N Since the last chapter was so short, here is another for you! The Cullens make their grand entrance.

On the morning of the move, Bella tucked her son safely into his carseat. She yawned. 4:30 was too early to be up and functional with a newborn that woke every night at 3:30. That night Bella would tuck her son into bed in the house that would be their home for the next two years at least. She double checked the diaper bag to make sure that she had everything that Parker would need during the trip. Luckily Parker was a great little flier. They arrived in Forks in late afternoon on Wednesday.

"Bells, I'll register you." Charlie said at dinner that night.

"Thanks. I don't want everyone to know about Park, until I'm ready."

"I agree."

"I don't want to risk his safty."

"It's a good idea." Bella put the dishes in the sink and went to change Parker.

The next Monday Bella pulled into the parking lot of the school. Tears threatened to fall. She sat there for a long minute getting ahold of herself. She missed her baby. She got out of her car and walked into the school.

"Hi! I'm Mike Newton. You're Chief Swan's daughter."

"Bella." She wrapped her arms around herself. Another strong longing for her son hit suddenly.

"Are you ok?"

"Umm yeah."

Bella met Lauren, Jessica, Angela, and Ben. She sat zoning out, until she heard a door slam. She looked up seeing five people walk in. She nudged Jessica.

"Who are they?"

"The big guy is Emmett McCarty. He and the blonde girl, Rosalie are a couple. Rosalie Hale. The blond guy is Jasper Whitlock. His girlfriend is the tiny girl there. Alice Cullen. The other one is Edward Cullen, Alice's twin. Don't think about trying for him. No girl is good enough for him. We think he's gay."

"Ah." Bella looked over at the table to see Edward looking at her. She looked down at the table.

"Jessica."

"Yeah?"

"Where can I use my phone and not get caught?"

"Bathroom. Into breaking rules?"

"Something like that." Bella got up and went into the bathroom. Locking herself in a stall she called Charlie.

"Are you sure he's ok?...I'm having a hard time." She whispered as the tears she'd been pushing back started.

"I miss him so badly... you then. Bye."

Bella sat willing herself to stop crying. She went to wash her face and saw Alice Cullen leaning in the doorway.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah. Today's just a hard day."

"New school. I can imagine. I'm Alice" Bella gave a tight lipped smile.

"Bella"

"We're going to be best friends."

The bell rang and Bella went to biology. She was seated next to Edward Cullen.

"Great. I'll have to tutor you."

"You assume things. I was in this class as a freshman. We're at Meosis and Mitosis?"

"Yes."

"That's where we started in Pheonix."

"Thought you were from Denali."

"I spent most of my life moving. Those are the two places I've stay the longest that I remember. Because I was born here."

Edward was looking at her. She seemed anxious as they did the lab that had been assigned.

"What's up?"

"I wish school was over. I want to go home."

"That's a little antisocial."

"I have responsabilities and I want to take care of them. If that's antisocial than that's what I am."

"What responsabity could be that great?"

"You have no idea." She muttered.

The bell rang and she bolted to the gym. Edward watching her as she went. She gave the note to the teacher once she got to class.

"I can't do anything to strenuous."

"Why not?"

"Personal reasons."

"You can't say or won't?"

"Won't. Too many ears and I don't want to have rumors spread about me right now."

"Then step into my office." She shut the door behind them.

"Now, Bella, why would a young woman like yourself be so restricted?"

"I gave birth to my son a little less than four weeks ago. The birth was rough to say the least. I just had four stitches removed from where they had to cut. I don't want many people to know so I haven't said anything. I can't do much. I will do what I can though. Plus I'm lactating."

"You are already back in school?"

"High school doesn't wait."

"If you need help, come to me."

"Thank you."

"Tell me one thing, did you keep him?"

"Parker's at home with Dad right now. We're looking for a nanny."

"You don't like it."

"I want to take care of him. Not anyone else." The coach smiled.

"You can help record stuff for me."

The bell rang a while later and Bella rushed to her car. Mike Newton stopped her.

"You want to do something?"

"I have to get home. Sorry. I might as well say it now. I don't date. You might as well spread it around now. Don't try again. The answer will constantly be no. Now I really have to go."

She got in and drove home. She rushed in, and scooped up her son. She sighed holding him to her chest.

"That is the hardest thing I've ever done." She said looking at her father. Charlie smiled.

"You're a good mom."

"I don't like being away from him." Charlie kissed the top of her head.

"I'll order chinese tonight. You go do your home work and take care of my grandson."

Bella nodded and took Parker upstairs. She settled on the bed craddling Parker to her and placing her history book in front of her. There was a knock on the door and Bella heard Alice Cullen's voice.

"Hello Chief Swan. I wanted to check on Bella. She seemed so upset at school."

Bella put Parker in his bed and started down the stairs.

"Hi Alice. Thank you. I'm fine now."

"Ok."

"Come up stairs. I'll explain." Bella paused at her door.

"You can't tell anyone, Alice. Please swear you won't."

"Ok. I promise."

Bella went and picked up Parker.

"This is Parker."

"Promise not to tell you're babysitting?" Bella shook her head.

"I'm not babysitting. Parker's my son." She said softly.

"Oh my god! He's so cute! How old is he?"

"Four weeks the day after tomorrow."

"No wonder."

"It's so hard to be away from him. I hate it but I have to finish school. I'm cutting out electives so that I can graduate early. I don't want people to know and judge me. I went through school in Denali with no friends because I was pregnant. I would rather not do that again. I hear the names and see the looks I get. It's better this way."

"Where is his father."

"He doesn't have one. He left me. I'm all he's got." Bella sat on her bed motioning for Alice to sit too. Parker yawned and snuggled into Bella's chest. She smiled and kissed his forehead.

"He's named after my dad. Dad's been the biggest support for me over the last year. I don't know what I would have done with out Dad. Most people don't want their children to be influenced by me."

"What do you mean."

"I'm 16 with a baby. That's not a good thing."

"We're going to be best friends, Bella."

"Not when your parents find out that I have a son."

Alice shook her head. Bella sighed.

"You have to meet them. They'll love you."

A/N I love Alice. Please tell me what you are thinking.
