Dr Swan
Chapter Nine
School And Crying

"Can you help me get my bag together please mummy?" Bella smiled and nodded. Since he'd come back last weekend he'd been calling her mummy and she loved it. They got all his new things and brought them down into the living room to sort through. As they'd had a busy week they hadn't had time to go through it all yet. His clothes were already washed and put away and he'd already gotten out what he was going to wear.

"Right I'll just cut this tag off and then you can put your pencils and crayons in here. How about I write your name on your books?" He smiled and nodded. He began to open each pack carefully and put them in rows. She had wondered why he did this but didn't want to ask. She was sure he had a case of OCD but for now she'd just keep an eye on him and make sure it didn't get worse. As they began to put everything in his bag the door went. "I'll be right back. You carry on putting your pencils away." As she looked through her peep hole she smiled as she saw everyone standing there. Jasper and Katie were at the front while Emmett, Alice, Edward and Rose followed. "Hi guys. Come in, we're just getting Ed's bag ready."

They all walked into the living room and they watched Ed sort his crayons out into rows. Jasper looked at her but she shook her head. "Hi there Ed, what you doing?"

"Mummy and I are putting my new things in my bag." As he said this he began to the crayons in order of colour. "My daddy used to put my things in the fire if I was bad so I have to take care of these or he might do that again." Everyone gasped at this. He had never spoken of his real parents before but from the sounds of it they didn't love him. Bella got down on the floor with him and took a hold of his hands. Rose had taken Katie into the kitchen to get something to drink.

"Honey, you know he doesn't know where you are right?" He looked at her for a second before going back to sorting his things out. Bella softly stopped his hands from moving and had him look at her before she spoke. "No ones going to hurt you or take your things I promise you. And if they ever tried we'll set Uncle Emmett and Uncle Edward on them ok. And I'm sure Jasper would be first in line to kick their behinds." He giggled when all three men nodded. He smiled at Bella before hugging her and whispering something that only she could hear. She had a tear in her eye but didn't look sad.

Jasper laughed as he watched Emmett try to fight of Ed and Katie. Even all the dogs apart from Bonnie had joined in. from what Bella had told him Bonnie would be having her pups soon but she hoped they waited until after the wedding. He couldn't help turn his eyes to Bella as she sat talking to Rose about the baby with Alice. Edward was manning the BBQ but from the looks of things they would be having it burnt.

"You ok man?" Turning around he nodded at Emmett who had left the kids to play with a football. "So heard anything from Maria?"

"Yeah her lawyer called mine yesterday. She wants Tanya to have Katie. I don't know what your dad did but I'll have to buy him a new fishing rod. He called in a favour from what Bella told me and until Maria comes home Katie stays with me. If my lucky she'll be staying with me. My lawyer has spoken to some people and set things in motion." Emmett nodded and smiled. They all wanted Jasper to keep Katie. He loved her so much and they didn't want to see him fall apart again from not seeing her. They just hoped Maria stayed away. Emmett was sure that Bella would have a thing or two to say to her.

Emmett watched his sister and wondered when she'd finally go around and see their dad and Sue. She hadn't been around since they'd told them about Leah coming back. He'd been there to help bring Leah's things in and saw her son. He looked so much like Jacob that he didn't want Bella to ever see her but knew that at some point she would. They all knew that she'd give in soon as she'd miss her dad and Sue to much to stay away.

"You think she'll ever tell us all what really happened with Jacob? I mean we know most of it but she'd never tell us everything, like what the doctors told her and why she put her name down for foster caring." Jasper looked at her before shaking his head.

"No. but then again that's probable for the best. She knows you to well Em. Even I know you'd go and beat him to a pulp." He snorted at him but didn't argue with him. After all they all knew that everyone who cared about Bella would do the same thing.

"Food!" The kids ran towards Edward and stood waiting with the plastic plates they'd picked up. Bella went and helped them put some salad and sat them down next to Jasper. He helped Ed cut up his meat while Bella did the same for Katie. The others watched with smiles. It looked like they didn't even know they were doing it. They were their own little family even if they didn't live together.

After they'd finished eating they went and played some games and Jasper helped Ed beat Emmett on the Wii and they all laughed when Emmett sat down again in a huff and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Now everything's going to be ok. And if you want to talk to me all you have to do is ask Jessica here to ring me." Ed nodded his head while holding onto his bag straps tightly. She watched as he sort of geared himself up before he took a deep breath and walked into the class room. Jasper was stood just behind her with his hand on her shoulder. Katie had just ran into the room as she was used to going to school but this was all new to Ed. Bella was scared he'd try and run away but so far he'd taken it all in his stride.

"He'll be fine you'll see. And Ed will make lots of friends that you'll be having sleep over's all the time." She nodded but didn't look away from where Ed had gone. He was stood at the door watching everyone around him. Bella was about to go to him but Jasper held her back and they watched as a couple of boys came up him and saw a grin light up his face. Bella couldn't help the tears that fell down her face while smiling. Jasper just held her while he kissed her neck. "Everything will be fine, I promise." She nodded before they held hands and walked to his car. They'd decided to use just one car today as they both started work at the same time and finished at the same time as well. It had been Jasper's idea as he'd thought Ed might like having more people around for his first day.

When they got to work they gave each other a quick kiss in the elevator before going to their own officers. Jasper was now back on his own ward while only looking into the children's ward when there was a shortage of Doctors. Bella was sad when later that day she saw one of her patients had to be told that the treatment wasn't working.

"I know this sounds bad but there is other things we can try. Dr Cullen has said that he thinks that there might be a chance they can operate what with it having been a while. Also it seems that the medication worked to begin with and has helped a lot. So he'll have another look and then we'll be able to tell you for sure." After telling them that Dr Cullen would be up before long to talk to them she went on her rounds.

"Dr Swan!" Turning quickly she saw Alice standing there with fear written on her face. Bella ran to her and they began to walk towards the waiting room. "There's a child in there that needs attending to but the father wont let us near them. He's waving a gun around. I've called Emmett but he wont be here for another half an hour." Bella nodded and with a run she made it to the waiting room to find that another Doctor was shouting at the man. She glared at him before pushing passed him. Alice called out to her but she didn't stop. She didn't stop until she was in front of the man who was standing in front of a badly hurt little girl. He had his gun pointed at her so she put her hands in the air. It was her name being called again by Jasper and Carlisle that made her stop for a second but all she could see was Katie in that little girl. She looked so much like her that Bella was sure it was her for a second but shook that off knowing that she was at school safe and sound.

"Please sir, I know your scared but please let me treat you daughter." He started to shake his head but Bella wasn't going to give up. "No one else will interfere I promise. I just need to make sure she'd ok." He looked at her for a minute before slowly nodding and moved to the side. The little girl saw this and looked relived and ran to Bella. The man didn't see this coming and Bella gave a cry and pulled her down to the floor with herself covering the girl as a shot rang out. There was a shout and then lots of banging before she felt a hand on her shoulder. Turning her head slightly and gave a sigh when she saw Jasper.

He had fear still in his eyes and took her into his arms as Alice cam forward and took the girl into her arms but she cried out and held onto Bella more. Jasper let her go but let his hand rest on her shoulder. It was like he was making sure she was still there and in one piece. Bella tried to reassure the little girl, who said her name was Molly, but she just didn't want to go with anyone else.

Ed stood at the door waiting for his mummy to pick him up and grinned when he saw her. Jasper was with her and he couldn't have been happier. His first day of school had been great. He'd been scared at the start but then he'd made friends with some of the boys there and had made some friends for the first time. When he was growing up his real parents hadn't let him out of the house or even taken him to a school. After all the beatings he was sure something was wrong with him and it was all his fault but his new mummy had made him feel so special.

"Mummy!" He shouted out before running to her. He saw the smile light up her face before she was meeting him half way. She picked him up and spun him around while hugging him. They were both laughing. "I had the best-est day mummy. We were aloud to paint and colour a lot. I even learnt some of the times tables and spelling words. Will you practise with me please?"

"Of course I will. But first where's Katie?" Ed looked behind him and pointed to the climbing frame where Katie was stood laughing with a girl. Jasper shook his head before going to get her. "Now little man I know that its normally just us four at home but there was something that happened at work and a little girl was hurt. Her parents aren't around anymore and I was hoping it was ok if she came and stayed with us for a while." Ed looked at her. It was the first time anyone had asked if it was ok with him. With a smile he nodded.

"That would be great. We can play and I can introduce her to Dusty and the other dogs." He carried on talking about what he was going to show her and what they would do all the way home. Katie seemed to love the idea of having another girl around.

"Now just remember that she's younger then both of you so she might not be able to do some of the things that you want to do ok?" Jasper said while driving towards the hospital. They'd gotten Molly to finally to understand that they'd be coming back for her and she'd gone with Alice to find some clean clothes.

"…And this is where you will sleep. Now Katie sometimes stays, like tonight, so you wont be alone but if you need me I'm just in that room there ok?" Molly nodded at her before slowly walking into the room and straight to the dolls house. Bella smiled at this and leaned on the door frame. Since she was young her dad had told her all about her grandad making this house for her. It was the last thing he build before he died and she'd kept it in immaculate condition. When she had fallen pregnant she'd even gone out and brought new things for it.

"You ok?" Jasper put his arms around her and she sank back into him. With a hum she nodded and held his hands that were around her middle.

"I never thought I'd ever be this content but my life just seems to be getting better and better since I met you. I have a son, two wonderful daughter's and a boyfriend who I love very much. What more could I ask for?" He chuckled and kissed her cheek.

"I could say the same. But you know they might find Molly's family yet. I don't want you to put to much into this."

"I know but for now I just have this feeling that everything is going to work out. She looks so much like Katie doesn't she? Well apart from the eyes and her nose." Molly was playing with some of the dolls in the house and making them talk to each other. Katie came running in with Ed and went right over to Molly. They sat down and all began to play together. With a smile Jasper and Bella went to get dinner ready for them all.

Teaser

Jasper watched Bella as she dance with her father with a smile lighting up her face. He loved to see her like this. She looked so beautiful in her dress. It showed her body off without being slut-y. Getting up he made his way over to her and held his hand out to her while giving her a teasing smirk. Charlie put her hand into his and left them be as a slow song came on.

"Its been a beautiful day hasn't it?" Bella sighed while laying her head on his chest.
