Author's Note: OK so some people think I made Giles a little too harsh, but he needs to be for this story. I'll try and tone it done for those who did not like it, but still… like I said its part of the story. Anyways hope you enjoy this chapter!

BPOV (Bella's)
I bit my lip nervously as we pulled up to the Cullen's house. There sitting on the green grass was a familiar car.
"Shit." I swore
Edward turned to me probably shocked I swore
"Sorry," I apologized
He still stared at me
"What?" I finally asked after a few silent seconds
"Why's your mother here?" he asked
"Same thing I was wondering," I said. It was totally like Renee to come at the worst time, typical Renee. "I guess we should go in," I said unbuckling my seatbelt
Edward nodded jumping out of the car; he didn't wear seatbelts I realized. Stupid indestructible vampire
We walked up to the house; at least I didn't have to worry about her killing me I thought. It was nice to know that everyone wasn't out to get me.
"Mom?" I asked entering the house
"Bella!" she called from the living room
Edward and I headed that direction; she seemed to be in a heated discussion with Carlisle.
"What's going on?" I asked
"Just having friendly conversation," she answered as if it were something she normally did. Wait was it?
"You came from Jackson to talk with Carlisle?" I asked
"Well no sweetheart, I came to talk with you but Charlie said you were here with Alice," Renee answered taking a sip from her coffee.
"Right…" I said remembering the alibi I gave Charlie this morning
"I asked where she was but Esme said she was shopping with Rosalie," Renee said placing her coffee cup down on a mat. Then she looked up at me her eyes held a new emotion. "Where were you?" she asked me her voice taking on a new tone, one a mother would usually use. It left me nervous as she stared me down
"I-I-" I stuttered
"She was with me, but she and Edward got bored of shopping though God knows it's the best thing in the world," Alice said giving me a quick disapproving look but it was the one she used when she pretended to feel insulted it was a façade.
"Really?" Renee asked her finger swirling around the top of the coffee cup, she still seemed in disbelief. Then it hit me, she was upset not because I had lied to Charlie but because of something Giles must have said.
"Did Giles call you?" I asked her
"Yes he did, but it was a while ago when he was looking for you, that's not why I'm here," she said
"Then why?" I asked
"Bella might it not be that I would like to see my daughter once in a while? You have been distant for a while, your emails are short and don't mention much but the weather and Charlie. I married the man I know his actions and attitudes, and I hate this weather. I just want my daughter," she said
"Then why are you mad with me?" I asked
"Because you have changed Bella! I sense you have gone back to the girl that used to cause trouble for us and if it's because of this boy or maybe it's Charlie then you need to leave!" Renee ordered
"Mom I have not changed this has always been me," I said
"I haven't gotten a call from Charlie about a burnt down gym lately just the fact that you seem to be breaking every bone in your body," she said
"Look mom you may not like it and I don't either. But I don't always have a choice!"
"Of course you do! You don't need to get involved with such people who bring out that monster in you Bella!" my mom shouted tears filled her eyes "I just want my baby back,"
"Mom," I felt tears filling my eyes as well
"Hey what's going on?" asked Emmett entering the house followed by Rosalie
"I probably should go. Thanks for letting me stay for a while," Renee said standing up and handing her empty mug to Esme.
"Where are you staying?" I asked
"Certainly not with Charlie if I remember there is a cute Inn close to his house though. I may stay a while," she said.
"I guess I'll see you later then," I said giving her a quick hug
When we broke away from each other she wore another expression along the lines 'you're staying here?' I guess she expected me to go back to Charlie but he was a grown man he could fend for himself anyways it was only eight o clock it wasn't like I was spending the night here. Of course no matter where I spent the night I would still be wrapped up in Edward's arms but she didn't need to know that.
"Bye mom!" I called to her
"I'm coming over to Charlie's tomorrow," she said, and then she left
"So burning down a gym?" asked Edward who seemed slightly amused
"Yeah well it was filled with vampires," I said as if it were a good enough excuse
"Thanks for the warning Bella now we need to remove anything that can catch fire." Emmett joked, "come on Rose we must destroy fire catching objects,"
"You know a shorter word for that is a flammable object?" Alice asked
"Yeah well big words scare me," Emmett said
I rolled my eyes happy that they all seemed fine with the fact that I had killed their kind or something similar at least.
The night went on without any big interruption and I was right, I slept like a baby wrapped in Edward's arms.
A/N: More drama to come, R&R please!
