BPOV (Cullen)

As soon as Charlie, AKA. Daddy, pulled up to give a ticket to Edward, I resented Uncle Carlisle. I mean, I guess he did have a reason to not actually be my father, since he and my biological mother, Renee, were so young that they couldn't support me. I get it. I just wish they would of given me the choice to pick for my own, to be with renee and Charlie, or Carlisle and Laine. I just didn't get it. Don't get me wrong, I love Carlisle so much, he raised me, but wouldn't you want to be with your biological parents too?

According to Carlisle, Charlie and I are exactly alike. I have his brown eyes and plain brunette wavy hair. I was in the short side, like my mother, and knew how to have fun like my mother, but was also reserved and quiet like Charlie. It was a good balance. Renee died when I was 3, of a gunshot. Charlie re-married to Sue Clearwater when I was about 6 or 7 years old, and her son, Seth, and her daughter, Leah, became Charlie's step-children. Seth was 4 when Charlie became his step-father, and Leah 8. I remember seeing her around the high school. She was gorgeous. Seth was a cutie. I as invited to their wedding, and Charlie introduced me as his daughter. Sue wondered why I didn't live with them, or meet her very often, but didn't ask. She knew how Charlie acted. I miss him. it's not that I didn't like living and being Carlisle and Laine's daughter, I really did, but I think it's right when the biological parents have matured and know how to take care of a child that it's perfectly fine to parent their own child. I mean, Carlisle and Laine didn't have to adopt me! They could of just took me in, and raised me until Charlie and Renee could've took over.

It's just easier to call Carlisle, Calrisle, because I wouldn't feel bad and feel like I was cheating on Daddy. So I'll call Charlie Daddy and Carlisle, Uncle Carlisle or Carlisle.

"Bella, sweetie, c'mon" Jasper said blocking me from my thoughts. I looked to him and smiled a little. Even though he isn't my real brother, he still is my step-brother.

"Kay, coming Jazz" I said and he got out of the car. I linked my arm with Rose's and we saw Carlisle's and Esme's which held Brianna, James, Vic, and Sean. I think little Brianna just sat on James lap, I'm sure he enjoyed that.

We walked into the church and I saw the 'Platt Prostitutes and Gangsters' sitting already. Oh my god. They are not dressed appropriately. They were wearing booty shorts, and high heels, and tank tops! I was wearing nice pair of True Religion jeans I borrowed from Rose, a Organza grey blouse, black velvet gem ballet flats, and my hair in it's waves but in a bun. I had on some make up too! I had on some lip gloss and even mascara and eye shadow! I accessorized it with Frankie's Tiffany's chain bracelet, Vic's Coach silver and grey purse, and Vic's diamond stud earrings. Carlisle told us to share our stuff, so we never had two of everything.

"Wow, if it ain't the Cullen goody two shoes" Alice smiled with a bat our her too-much-mascara lashes. My family rolled our eyes and took a seat in the pews. I sat next to Jasper, and Carter. My family took up half the pew and Carlisle and Esme sat at the end. I saw the Platts itching in the silence. It was nice and peaceful.

The music from the choir started and the people started singing. The preaching began and mass, or the service or church, started.

After Mass

"That was a wonderful experience Carlisle! I feel myself becoming more religious" Esme smiled to Carlisle.

"That was so boring! Ok, what the hell was that old man wearing? And could he be any more boring! And who the hell was he talking about?" Alice asked as she walked to the cars in this parking lot.

"Alice shut up" Esme scolded. Alice shut up, and started talking with Emmett. Cassidey and Carter were talking by the car, and smiling. Vic and James were seated on the Volvo's hood, well Vic was on the hood and James was leaning against it as they were laughing and talking.

"A penny for your thoughts" Carlisle asked as he wrapped an arm around my shoulder and kissed my head. I looked to him and looked to the ground shrugging off his arm and walking ahead.

"What'd I do?" he asked Rose.

"Daddy, I think you should ask her" she answered.

"Jazz?" he asked.

"Dad, I think you two should talk it out" Jasper answered. Carlisle sighed and I fel this stare burning into me. I ignored it.

"So, here's the plan. You guys can go to the cabin as you are, or you can go home and change while we grab our luggage." Carlisle said and he glanced at me. He truly was worried.

"Ok" we all answered and got in our cars. It was silent in the car. We arrived at the house and I went into the jewelry box upstairs and put back to accessories I borrowed. I took off my flats in my closet and changed into my sneakers. Taking off my blouse I replaced it with a strapless gray tube top, and I took the straps off my bra too. I kept my hair and makeup as is. I went back downstairs to grab my bright orange suitcase. I saw Carlisle give me a disapproving look.

"Bella, your shirt" he said.

"Why do you care? You're not my father" I said so low I was sure he didn't hear.

"OH sorry, I though it was cute" I answered speaking to him.

"It is, but very appropriate" he said. I sighed and ignored it.

"Whose going in each car?" I asked. Carlisle looked at all of us curiously. Probably trying to meet all of our comforts.

"Ok, how about Bella you take SUV and take the younger kids. The keys to the Suburban. It can fit 8 including the driver. How about you take Alice in the passenger with you, and do you want the back seat down or up so it can only fit 6 people?" he asked.

"I don't care" I shrugged.

"Ok it'll fit 8. Um, Vic, Rochelle, Carter, Sean, James, Brianna you guys are riding with Bella to the cabin. Edward you're riding with Bella in the passenger seat. Edward you don't mind driving with Bella do you?" he asked.

"Not at all" he answered. I was glad because I would have Vic, Rochelle and Carter.

Sean, James, and Brianna? I wasn't so sure. Then again, I have Edward! Hopefully, he'll control his siblings.

"Ok, Alice, Jasper can you two take Edward's Volvo? You'll guys have Caitlin, Ryan, and Justin" he said.

"Don't crash my car" Edward threatened.

"Edward, I'll make sure your car gets at least one scratch" Alice smiled.

"Ali Ashley!" Edward threated.

"Edward Anthony" She mocked.

"Emmett, Rose, you'll guys have, Cassidey, Trevor, and Frankie. Esme and I will ride alone" Carlisle said. We all nodded and got the luggage and put it in the cars. We just lugged random suitacases and duffel bags into the cars the people would be riding in.

After we all got packed, I grabbed the keys off the hook on the pegs next to the garage door and went to the dark blue Suburban, and grabbed my cell phone, iPod, some snacks since it does take the whole day to get to the lake, and some magazines. I saw Rochelle and Vic talking as they got in and moved the back seat up to fit them. I get a pair of strong arms go around my shoulders, and someone tower over my '5"6 form. I saw Carter smiling.

"Sis, you're pretty, strong, and one of the best sisters in the world" he smiled.

"What was that for?" I asked. He shrugged.

"Just something I've been wanting to tell you" he smiled. I smiled back and we hugged each other in a huge hugged. We rocked from one foot the other and he crushed me against him. I could smell his Axe. I laughed and he released me. With a kiss on the forehead he got in the front seat right behind me. He was younger than me, yet taller. Not fair.

An older sister's baby bro. I thought with a smile. I saw Brianna on Edward's back with Sean yelling at them. A great way to ruin the mood.

"Bri! You fucking sat on my back!" he exploded.

"Get over it, Sean" she said and hopped off Edward's back to get in the car. They were still bickering as James got in the car. It was still warming up; I saw Rochelle and James getting along quite nicely. No where near where Emmett and Rosalie are, but more like how Sean and Brianna are. They love each other, but they're siblings.

"How's Emmett and Rosalie?" I asked Edward. He looked at me, and sat Indian style, while sliding on his grey and black zipper frame sunglasses. I slid on my Juicy Couture sunglasses and put on my lip-gloss before backing out of the garage after Emmett.

"He and Rose are good. They started dating. You can't tell anyone!" Edward said. I nodded.

"Hey Bells, put the radio on, or plug in your iPod" Carter said. I nodded and plugged my ipod in and put on my playlist. I made it for the speakers in the back, but not the front.

"I promise I won't" I said and it got quiet. I tapped my fingers to the rhythm on the steering wheel as I followed my new siblings in their cars.

"I just wanted to say sorry, for being an ass during house hunting" Edward admitted. I turned to look at him.

"Really?" I asked. He nodded. I put my eyes to the road and but my lip. It tasted like grapefruit.

"Then you're forgiven." I said. he smiled.

"Hey, uh, about earlier, how is Carlisle not your dad?" he asked. I looked to the road and kept on a poker face. I really don't like explaining, but I was willing to give Edward a chance to keep this to himself.

"Charlie and Carlisle are half brothers. Different dads. Which is why his last name is Swan. I should be Swan" I explained. I looked to Edward's confused face and sighed. Of course he wouldn't get it.

"Um, I don't get it" He said. Bingo.

"Carlisle's not my father, Charlie is" I admitted. He rolled his eyes.

" I know that. How?" Edward asked. Stupid.

"He's my father, but he and my mom got together in high school, and they had me. My mother and father knew they were way too young to have me, and Carlisle and the mother I grew up with were having trouble conceiving." She explained. I cringed at the word she used last, "anyway, they had Carlisle and his wife adopt me. I grew up, and it was open adoption. I've known Charlie and my mother, Renee, were my real parents as soon as I can understand. Laine and Carlisle explained and I've known ever since. It's just by the time they got me, Laine figure out she was pregnant with Rose and Jazz. So that's why they call us triplets, since we practically are. That's why my name is Bella Marie Cullen, and not Bella Marie Swan. I want to get to get it changed, since Charlie never to the chance to be a father" I explained with tears in my eyes. He looked to his lap and played with his shoe. I kept on a poker face, my teary eyes hidden behind my sunglasses.

"Why do you call Carlisle 'Dad' or 'Daddy'?" He asked curiously processing this information.

"To make him happy. When I found out Charlie was my dad and not Carlsile, I called Charlie 'Daddy' and Carlisle 'Uncle Carlie'. He knew why I had called him that, but had fathered me since I was born, so it hurt him. He never told me why, Laine did. I only do it to make him happy. If I had my pick, I would've of rather stayed with Charlie. I'm so used to calling Carlisle 'Daddy' that I don't know I do and it upsets me. I feel like it's wrong." I sighed sadly. I hated doing that to him. I loved him, but if it made him happy, then so be it.

"Oh, I'm so sorry Bella. I thought my life was fucked up. Whose Laine, and what happened to her?" he asked.

"Laine was the kid's mother. All my siblings except me, they're 100% related, but I'm not. I'm the stupid step-child" I laughed humorlessly.

"Oh, what happened to her?"

"She died. In a car accident with Rochelle and Frankie" I whispered, bringing more tears to my eyes. I loved Laine so much. I miss her. I never talked about her, so it made me depressed and sad and teary.

"Oh" he said. I knew he was going to say that.

"What happened with your dad?" I asked. He sighed this time.

"My dad was mine, Emmett, and Alice's. He and mom were college sweethearts and mom got pregnant with Emmett and they decided to marry. A year after Emmett, Alice and I, we're twins, were born. Actually, they adopted a newborn when Alice and I were born. Imagine 3 newborns. I don't I would do it, with a one year old. Anyway, Mom and Dad still as in love as ever. It as so cute. When I was one, Alice was one, and Emmett, two, Dad and Uncle Jerry, went fishing. Dad fell in the water and hit the motor. He died in a boating accident" he said and looked out the window to the trees and shops we were passing. Oh my god. I felt really bad. Edward only knew his dad until he was one. He didn't get to experience father-son bonding. I felt terrible. His dad just ripped away like that. I saw Edward have one tear go down his face as he pushed his glasses and up and coughed.

"What about the other dad?" I asked.

"He was a joke!" he laughed humorlessly.

"He and mom met a bar. After I think 9 to 10 months of dating, he proposed. Mom said yes and they got married. Alice was the flower girl, and Emmett and I were the ring bearers. They had Caitlin and Trevor, the twins, a year later. Emmett was 3, Alice and I were 2. Then Cassidey a year later. Then James a year later. Then the twins, Brianna and Sean, a year later. The guys name was David, after Ry, Ali, and I were 10, Emmett 11, David walked out, saying it was too much. After 3 years I was 13, Ry 13, Ali 13, and Emmett 14, we got a wedding invitation. It was David's. We went to it, and he was saying how much he missed us, and it was great to see us. I felt alive again. Then we got the custody papers, along with a phone call. David said he was ready for a new family, and he loved us, but it was time to move on. I heard he has 4 kids now. 3 girls and one boy. Yeah, he walked out on his 7 kids for another woman, who he had 4 kids with, which was 10 kids in all! Including Ry, Ali, Em, and I it's 14 kids. Pathetic piece of shit. He fucking walks out on us! For another fucking woman! Who does that? He left us!" he yelled. I didn't say anything. No one did. The talking in the back seat stopped and I only heard faint music. It was completely silent.

"Edward, you know Daddy didn't love us. It's time to let go" Brianna whispered.

"Then why do you still call 'em Daddy huh?" he asked on the border line of tears and rage.

"Don't talk to her like that" James said lethally.

"Give me the wheel" Edward whispered.

"Edward" I said.

"Bella please. It'll give me some time to think" he whispered. I bit my lip.

"Bella, give him the wheel. Driving usually calms him down. Look, Emmett pulled into a 7/11. Haha, Emmett…" Brianna smiled. I smiled at her in the mirror and looked to Sean.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Positive, driving always calms him down. That's what he does when he and mom get in a fight, or he gets upset" Sean assured me. I pulled in to see Rose looking bored.

"Where's Emmett?" I asked.

"Inside getting us and the kids some snacks. Knowing him, it'll take him 10 minutes to decide on which candy bar to get" she snorted. I smiled and went to get some extra gas.

"Want to pump?" I asked Edward. He nodded and turned off the engine, and took out the keys.

"Can I get some snacks?" Carter asked.

"Sure sweetie, here's 20. I want my change back" I said and dug out a 20 dollar bill from my jeans. He grinned and went to get him and his siblings some food. I sighed and hit my head against the steering wheel. I kept banging my head as the smell of gasoline hit me.

"You know that just destroys your already smart brain" Edward said amused. I am not in the mood Edward.

"Edward, please" I begged. HE nodded and leaned against the door.

"How much longer until we get to the cabin?" he asked breaking the much needed silence.

"About the whole day of driving. Hey, at least we'll be there a week so it'll pay off" I said

"No more school!" he sighed happily. I didn't get why he didn't like school. I did.

"Why don't you like school?" I asked.

"Stressful trying to keep my record clean. Trying to be someone everyone expects me to be, when I can't, when it's an act" he said.

I didn't respond. I couldn't say I know how you feel. In truth, I didn't. It's annoying having the good girl record too. Known as the 'Goody Two Shoes Cullen' got really annoying.

We just sat there in the much needed silence.

Well, that was long. I can't believe I wrote that much. Anyway, thank you all for reading and please R&R!
