This chapter is kind of a filler chapter.
Im sorry if you find it boring the next one is better, FOR SURE.

This chapter is imporant though. :)


"Emma, common were going to miss the plane!" I yelled from the kitchen. It was Friday the day I had dreaded since I felt Forks. The one place I never thought of going back to, I tried repeatedly to put the past in the past and look forward to the future but my thoughts always came back to the things that would always cause me so much pain to think about.

"I can't find teddy!!" she cried from her room. I dropped my suitcase and quickly walked to Emma's room. There she was sitting on her small bed surrounded by stuffed animals, crying.

"Emmy" I sighed. She looked up at me.

"I think he's mad at me" she pouted her big brown eyes pouring into mine. I suppressed a laugh. Kids and there imaginative minds. I thought to myself.

"I'm sure he's not mad at you, he's just hiding somewhere." I walked over to her bed and took her hand in mine.

"Common" I whispered "Let's find him" I said while I pulled her off her bed.

"'Kay" she sniffed.

I put a smile on my face, trying to hide the indecision going on within me.

*********************************************************************

"Mamma" she breathed looking out the plane's window. "Are you sure were not going to go into outer space" she looked over to me with worry, a proment expression in her eyes.

"Emmy, were not going to go into outer space" I smiled even though my stomach was tied in massive knot. I was going back to my…. Home. The place where I had lefted and never wanted to go back to. But nothing ever works out the way you want… I guess.

Emma was gazing at me when the seat belt sign flashed on over head.

"Kay baby put on you seat belt" I said as I buckled mine into place.

"Mammmmmmmaaaa" Emma whined.

"Close you eyes, it will be over soon" I whispered into her ear. The turbulence stared and Emma squeezed my hand with all her might. I squeezed back. I hated planes.

******************************************************

"This is your pilot speaking, we have reached are destination, please stay seated and have a good day!" Came the cheerful voice of the pilot from the speakers. The occasion was anything but cheerful. My insides felt as if they had been tied in to knots repeatedly, but of course my outside showed nothing, I was good at hiding my emotions.

"Mamma, look!" Emma jumped in her seat as we rolled are way down the runway. She pointed out the window to the damp cold earth I once called home.
"It pretty" she stated. I smiled to her.

"Yes it is".

I don't want to do this. I screamed at myself. What the hell and I getting myself into. In my gut I had a feeling that this wasn't going to turn out how I wanted. But I had to remind myself. Edward isn't going to be there. The only people who are actually going see Emma is Charlie and Alice, that's it. I am going to go to Alice's wedding and then head back to the life I was planning to live in Phoenix. Even though that life was the life I had never had in mind for me when I was a little girl dreaming about my kids and the day I would walk down the ale. I knew that most of those dreams would never come true. I would never fall hopelessly in love when my heart had already been stolen away. I had Emma. I didn't need love. I didn't need to have a, love story. I had a daughter and a mother and hopefully a father that loved me.

"We have officially reached are destination. Port Angles. Thank you for riding with us. Hope to you all again." Came the stewardess voice over the intercom.

"Alright Emmy this is are cue. Lets get are stuff and go find Grandpa" I said while unfastening her seat beat and taking her hand in mind. We walked slowly out of the plane following the line of people exiting. Finally we were off the cramped plane and in the state I never though in hell that I was going back to.

"Mamma do you think Grandpa will like me?" she questioned with worry thick in her voice.

I looked down at her to see her biting her lip, a habit she had inquired from me.

"He will love you" I said slowly. She smiled as we continued to make are way through the crowed airport to retrieve are bags.

We waited as they came around on the conveyer belt. We picked them up and ran to the area were we would meet… Charlie.

Emma pushed open the doors and there he was. My dad. His face slightly more worn then the last time I had see him but his eyes still crinkled into that familiar smile I knew to well. Thankfully my mother had told him everything down to the last detail about Emma and my situation. I rarely talked to Charlie on the phone but constantly communicated with him through letters. Knowing that hearing his voice would hurt a little too much.

"Dad" I breathed.

He smiled "Bella!" And practically ran over to me and in gulfed me in his arms. I beamed. Taking in his familiar smell which made me feel like I was home again even after all these years.

"I missed you" I said as I let one single tear spill over the brim of my eye. My heart ache as I imagined what I would have been like if I hadn't of left, if I had stayed and told Edward about Emma if Charlie had hugged me like this everyday; would I have turned out to be a different adult?

No Bella, don't go there. I had to never let my brain wander over the possibilities of what could been. That was in the past I had made decisions back then that I could never take back, I just had to live with them know.

"I missed you too, Bells" A smiled creped across my face remembering all the times he used that silly little nickname to cheer me up. I felt Emma tug impatiently on my hand. I looked down and smiled.

"Dad, this is Emma" the usually loud little girl I had witness grow suddenly fell quiet.

I scooped her up in my arms.

"Emmy, its okay, he my daddy, your grandpa, he wont hurt you, he loves you." I whispered into her ear.

"You sure he's going to like me" she whispered back into my ear, her voice to quiet for Charlie to hear.

"Positive" I said as I set her down again.

Charlie had a big grin slapped onto his face as he looked at me and then to Emma.

He knelt down onto one knee and took her hand into his. Emma smiled back at him with cautious eyes.

"Hello there Emma I have heard a lot about you" he said in a voice thick with love.

"You have?" she questioned.

"Yup." He replied matter a factly. He took her hand and his and we walked out of the crowded airport and into Charlie's police cruisers. Joy.

Charlie had gone out of his way and bought Emma a car seat which sat in the back of the cruisers as if she were a criminal. I quickly buckled Emma in as she drifted off the sleep.

The weather put a damper on my mood as the darkness of the overcastted clouds felt as if they hung around my head and weighted about a million pounds. I quickly hurried into the passenger seat and relaxed back against the leather car seat and closed my eyes. I felt Charlie's weight enter the car and my eye's flew open just in time to see him staring at me.

"Hey," I whispered my voice coarse. I cleared it away.

"How are you Bella?" he questioned are he started to accelerate out of the parking lot and onto the highway.

"I'm fine" I paused. Am I actually fine?. "How are you?"

His eyes turned back to the road.

"I'm pretty good, you know just a little lonely, I miss you, the food isn't as good anymore. I starve" he smiled and glanced back in my direction.

I laughed quietly. "I'm sure your not starving, you look pretty well feed to me" I said motioning with my hands down to his little pot belly. He chuckled a little.

"Billy. Always inviting me down for dinner" he paused.

"I remember him, you guys always went fishing right? And then there was Jacob and Rebecca and Rachel? His kids?" I went running through the memories of times Charlie had dragged me down to the La push reservation and I would hanging out with Jacob because his sister were away a collage. Jacob had always been a good friend. He was a nice guy.

"Yup, I'm surprised you remember them" he took in a breathe and went on "Anyways, I always go down there, Billy and I watch the baseball games together. You should come and visit maybe if you have some free time after Alice's wedding. Jacob still remembers you. He asks me about you some times." He gushed.

"Yeah, Jacob was a nice guy, how old is he now?" I said as I fixed my gaze out the window and let everything outside blur into one large green image.

"Um, I think he just turn 20, so a year younger then you." He said with something in his voice I didn't quite understand.

"Hmm." I whispered to myself and let my thoughts swirl around me as we continued back to home I had want to forget, just one of the door's from my past that I would have to open to lead me to my future.
