This is, possibly, a bit longer than the last chapter. Bella's first day of school. Tell me if you think Bella gets into trouble too often or if the others get frustrated with her too much. Next chapter, I think, will possibly be her 5th birthday party, tell me if you think that's a good idea! Thanks for reading!

Bella is 4, nearly 5.

Alice PoV

"Wake up sweetie," I whispered, walking into Bella's room.

She opened her eyes and squinted at me, although the only light was coming from the open door and the crack in the curtains.

"First day of school today!" I said, opening her cupboard and finding her school uniform.

Bella groaned. "I don wanna go," she moaned.

"And why is that?" I asked placing her grey skirt, white shirt, black socks and woolen jumper on her bed. It was all revolting, but it was the clothes she had to wear.

"I don't know any wone," she said, rubbing her eyes as she continued to wake up a little more.

"No-one else knows anyone either. Come on, let's get you dressed."

She shook her head.

"You will make friends so easily, honey," I told her, sitting beside her.

She, again, shook her head.

"Well, Mum wants you down stairs in less than ten minutes, dressed, with brushed hair. Would you like me to help you?" I was hoping she would let me help her so she would be a bit quicker and would not make a fuss.

"No, I'm not gowing," she told me, making a firm decision.

"Well, you're not the person making the decision, Mum and Dad are, so do you want to talk to them about that?" I said, sarcastically, but she was too young to understand that. I waited for her to give in, but she nodded, scooted over to the side of the bed and slid off. How did she think she could win this battle?

I groaned slightly and rolled my eyes. "I'll wait here for you," I called after her, lying back on her bed.

"Mummy?"I heard Bella ask, walking into the kitchen.

"Yes?" Mum asked, "Why aren't you dressed?"

"I not going to school," she told her.

"Bella, don't be silly, why aren't you going to school?" she asked, ushering her back up the stairs.

"I don wanna gooooo," she moaned, bouncing up and down on one of the steps on the stairs.

"What's this?" Carlisle asked, from the top of the stairs.

"Bella has decided that she isn't going to school today," Mum told him, climbing the rest of the stairs, pushing Bella ahead of her. I heard Bella nod, seriously.

"Has she? Well, Bella," Carlisle said, kneeling down to her level, "You have to go to school, and meet new friends."

Bella shook her head. "Yes, now go back to Alice and get changed," Carlisle told her, pushing back to her room, where I was still lying. I sat up.

"It's not fair!" she shouted, stomping back into the room.

"What did they say?" I asked, humoring her.

"Daddy said I have to go," she grumbled.

"Okay," I said, smiling slightly.

She pouted and I told her to put her arms up, so I could take her pyjama top off. I slid it off and when it was off, and her grumpy face had reappeared, I helped her into her shirt and buttoned it up for her. She pulled her trousers off and I helped her into her skirt and knickers. She pulled her socks on and I slid her jumper over her head and she pushed her arms through. I straightened all her clothes out when she stood up. I brushed her hair and tied it back into two pig-tails on her head. She looked adorable. I followed Bella, hopping, skipping and jumping, through to her bathroom. She passed me her toothbrush and I helped her to brush her teeth. She skipped down to have breakfast, a little more cheerful, but I think she had actually, momentarily, forgotten about school.

Esme PoV

I poured Bella out a bowl of cereal, before she sat on the high stool at the counter and started to, slowly, eat it.

"What if I don't make any friends?" she asked, as Rosalie walked in and passed me her duffel coat and back pack.

"You don't need to worry about that, you will make lots of new friends!" I said, brightly.

Alice pulled her over to the stairs and got her to stand on the second step, before getting the camera out and snapping a few pictures. "Bella, smile!" Alice begged her, grinning, cheesily. Bella's grumpy face changed into a slight smile, and Alice snapped a few more.

She humphed and frowned at me. "Come on, let's get going."

I helped my smallest daughter into the car and hopped in the driver's seat, before pulling out the drive.

Bella went silent and didn't talk throughout the whole journey there. "Will you come in with me?" she asked, as I pulled into a parking space.

"Yes, I will, darling," I said, opening my door and helping her out when I reached her door.

I picked up her bag and carried it over to the building. She squeezed my hand, tightly, and walked very close by my side.

I saw some other, nervous, children, holding parents hands tightly. I walked through the door and was greeted by a smiling woman holding a register.

"Hello, what's your name?" she asked, bending gown so she was about Bella's height.

Bella clung onto my leg. "Isabella Cullen," I told the woman. She ticked Bella's name off the list of children's names and turned back to me.

"Hi, I'm Miss Carter," she said, shaking my hand.

"Hello Isabella," she said to Bella.

Bella shook her head. Miss Carter looked confused.

"What is it?" I asked Bella.

"Bella," Bella grumbled.

"Oh, sorry, she prefers Bella," I told Miss Carter, shaking my head slightly, smiling.

"Oh, sorry. Hello Bella," Miss Carter said to her.

Bella still didn't reply. "Well, why don't you go through there and see if there are any children for you to play with."

"Thank you." I led Bella through to a large room. Half a dozen children were pottering around the room, reading books, or playing with toys or chatting.

I girl, about Bella's height, was standing with her Mum, holding her hand. She was looking, curiously, at Bella.

"Hi, I'm Esme," I said, shaking hands with the girl's Mum.

"Susan," she said, smiling. "And this is Angela," she said, moving Angela in front of her.

"This is Bella," I told her, smiling.

"Well, would you both like to play together?" I asked, bending down beside Bella.

Bella didn't say anything, smiling, worriedly, at Angela. Angela smiled back, nervously.

"What would you both like to play with?" Susan asked them both.

Angela looked around. I looked at Susan, apologetically, and she looked back at me in the same way.

"How about the toy blocks?" I prompted. Susan nodded and we took our daughters over to the toy blocks. I managed to sit Bella down, but she would only stay sitting if I was kneeling beside her. This was going to be hard.

"I've got to go to work now, Angie, but I will be back to pick you up as soon as school has finished. You and Bella can stay together all day." She kissed her cheek. "Have fun, darling." With that, she left a nervous looking Angela, but I was surprised to see that Angela hadn't made a fuss. I encouraged them to play together with the blocks, and they managed to start to build a tall tower.

When Bella seemed to have settled down a bit and the two children had begun to talk to each other a bit, I stood up. Bella looked around at me, alarmed.

"Honey, I'm going now, but I will be back later, okay?" She stood up and reached up to me. "Bella," I said, quietly, kneeling down to her level "You'll have a great day with Angela today." She grabbed her arms round my neck, and clung on.

I groaned, quietly. I unclipped her arms from round my neck and whispered, "Did you see how good Angela was when her Mummy left? Well, if you're like that, I will get you some sweeties for when I pick you up," I told her, kissing her forehead.

"Okay, honey?" I said, standing up. Bella stood up, immediately, shaking her head. It was about 5 minutes before the teacher would start to talk to the children.

"I'll be back again before you know it," I told her. "Look, Angela needs your help with the tower, can you help her?" I asked, trying to distract her.

Bella turned around to see Angela looking at her, with hopeful eyes. Bella waited a few seconds, making sure I hadn't moved towards the door. She then went and picked up another block, quickly, and put it on top of the tower, then quickly, looked back to me.

"I'll be back when school has finished."

I walked to the door but I felt little hands around my leg. "Bella, don't be silly, now tell me why you aren't playing with Angela."

"Can you stay?" she asked.

"No, honey, you need to stay and play with Angela. She wants to be your friend."

"Okay then everyone, can you come and sit on the red carpet please?" Miss Carter called to everyone. The children scurried over to the carpet and sat around Miss Carter. A little boy was clinging to his Mum's hand, beside me. Angela came over.

"Can you sit with me pease?" She asked.

Bella looked at me, and I sat her down and Angela sat beside her. As I walked out the door, it broke my heart to hear that I was making my youngest daughter cry, but I knew, the longer I stayed, the harder it would be for me and her. I heard Bella stand up, but I also heard another teacher go over to her and talk to her, and stop her trying to get out the door to follow me.

I sighed and slipped back into my car and sat there for a few minutes, looking at the building where I had left my baby, upset. Finally, I drove back home, and sat on the couch, not knowing what to do without any of my children.

2.30 p.m. same day

It was finally time for me to go and pick up Bella from her first day of school. I slipped into the car and drove off.

When I reached the red brick building, I slipped out, checking my watch. I was a few minutes early, but a few other parents were there, so I presumed they would be out soon.

I saw Susan, Angela's Mum. I was about to walk over to her, but the doors opened, and 4-year old boys and girls began to file out with their little bags. I spotted Bella, who was walking out, beside Angela, which I was pleased about.

Bella looked happy, but she looked absolutely exhausted. As each child saw their Mum or Dad, they ran towards them. Angela saw Susan and skipped over to her. Bella looked around for me, and saw me, and ran over to me.

"Hello, sweet heart, how was your first day?" I asked her, stroking hair out of her tired face. "Did you and Angela have fun?"

She nodded and smiled. "We buiwt the biggest tower and got a star!" she said, excitedly.

"That's great, honey."

I slipped her backpack off and placed it on the floor of the car. After lifting her into her car seat, I slipped in on my side, and we drove off to the supermarket. Bella yawned and actually fell asleep on the way to the food store.

When we got there, I lifted her out, and let her sleep. When I found a trolley, I sat her in it, but she woke up and began to whimper slightly.

"It's okay," I said, stroking her hair and pushing the trolley off into the building.

"Which cereal do you want now?" I asked her, when we reached the cereal aisle. She yawned, and pointed to a box on the side. Typical. She picked the most chocolaty cereal that existed. "No," I chuckled, "You know what Daddy thinks about chocolate. Which other one do you want?"

She slumped back in the chair and kicked her legs, slightly. "Peas?" she asked, pouting.

I shook my head. "Cheerios?" I asked her. She shook her head.

"Wice cwispies?" she asked.

"Yes okay, you can have rice crispies." I placed a box of it in the trolley, and finished off the shopping. She didn't manage to fall asleep again, I guessed the seat wasn't comfortable enough, but I was glad that she behaved well. She was probably too tired to disagree.

Back at the car, I sat her back in her seat and then unloaded the car, so she could stay warmer. I slipped into the car and saw her asleep again. I chuckled. School had completely worn her out. I was slightly worried that she wouldn't sleep later, but I would wake her up when we got back, and hand her over to Emmett, who would keep her awake until her bed time.

I unpacked the shopping bags at vampire speed, and Emmett, Edward and Jasper took Bella off to do a board game as it was too cold and a bit dark for her to play outside. Alice and Rosalie had both gone hunting together.

Emmett PoV

We had explained to Bella that she needed to listen to us to understand the game, and to trust us, that we weren't cheating, but it was probably a bit too much to understand how to play Monopoly, and we were all getting frustrated, as we were all incredibly competitive.

"Okay, Bella, your turn to roll the dice," Edward said, giving her the dice. She knelt up on her chair and rolled the dice across the board.

"Six!" she shrieked, beaming. "One, two, free, four, five, sthix!" she said, excitedly. "I I…um…I want to buy it!" she said.

"You can't," Emmett groaned.

"I have enough money, look!" Bella said, holding out 2 Monopoly dollars. She didn't have enough money.

She had given away most of her money to me when I had been 'poor' in her opinion, by having one orange sheet of money and one pink sheet, making $600, whereas, she had 3 green sheets $3, which were more valuable than orange and pink put together, in her opinion. She was left with $2 when she had given one to me. However, she was wrong, and when Edward told her this, she got angry and told him that she knew how to play. We had let her do whatever she wanted from then on, as long as it didn't jeopardise any of our chances of winning. We were all very competitive.

"No, Bella, you can't buy it, because Jasper already has it," Emmett said, board, with his head in his hands.

Bella slammed her hands onto the table and sighed, frustrated. I rolled the dice, quickly. Two, great, I was now in jail.

"You landed on me!" Bella shrieked, happily. She didn't know how to work out how much money Emmett owed her, so each time someone landed on her property, she made up a value. None of us minded, as she said amounts of money, such as $1 or $4, however, after Edward had to give me $1050, when we landed on my hotel on Trafalgar square, she leant that values of money could be very high, so she told Emmett, this time, that he owed her $20,000,000.

Emmett raised his eyebrows and sighed. Bella didn't know how to count, so he gave her a $20 piece of money.

She took it, happily.

"My turn!" she yelled, giggling. She rolled the dice and rolled a 3. "One, two, free. Oh nooooooooo! Is that yours Emmett?" she asked, putting her head in her hands, exasperatedly, which looked hilarious, as she was only 4 years old.

"Yep, that's mine," Emmett grinned, evilly. She had landed on Emmett's hotel on Mayfair… The most expensive property on the board, which had a hotel on it.

"$1, 400,000," Emmett said, truthfully.

She handed him the $2 she had, thinking it was enough. "That's not enough," I told her, grinning.

She scowled at him. "You're cheating," she told me.

"No, I'm not. Bella you have to listen to us to understand the game."

"How much more do I need to give you?" she asked. "I have given you all my money!"

"You could give me some of your properties," I said.

"No, you're cheating," she told me.

"Fine, don't give me anything else," I sighed.

Later in the game, Jasper rolled and landed on Bella. She told him $2000 and he gave her a $5000 note and took 3 $1000 notes, fairly, not cheating.

"No! You took my money!" she shrieked, grabbing for the change Jasper had taken, fairly.

"No no no," he began to explain. But Bella burst into tears and ran out the room. We all gave in then and sighed, slamming our heads into our arms.

Esme PoV

Bella came running into the room, crying and screaming.

"What's wrong baby?" I asked, slightly alarmed. I hadn't been paying attention to what the boys were doing with her.

I lifted her up. "We…are…playing…Momomomomly," she gasped, through her tears, "and…Jazper…and…Edard…and…Emmett…are…cheating…!"

I knew Emmett, Jasper and Edward weren't cheating, but I also knew that Bella didn't really understand how to play and probably completely misunderstood what they were doing.

"Okay," I said, quietly. "Let's go and talk to them, shall we?"

She nodded. I lifted her up and took her through to my boys. "Okay, guys, Bella says you're cheating," I told them. They grinned when they realized that I was humoring Bella. "Can you promise Bella that you won't cheat anymore and play nicely with her?" I whispered, too quiet for Bella to hear, "Just play how she wants to play and then when she goes to bed, play as competitively as you want. I'll take her up in about 15 minutes."

They all nodded.

Emmett PoV

Bella glared at all of us, and raised all of her prices when we landed on her, so Jasper ran out of money, and ran out of properties quickly, and then I ran out quickly too. Although Bella landed on all of ours, we lowered our prices drastically. However, Bella decided to be nicer to Edward, but in the end, he went back rut, and Esme came in to take Bella up to bed at 7 o'clock.

"No, we are playing again, Mummy," she told Esme.

"No, you've played enough today, come on," Mum said, holding her hand out.

"But, I'm not tired," she said, yawning.

Mum raised her eyebrows and chuckled. "Come on."

Bella shook her head and reached out for the dice.

Mum lifted her up and over the back of the chair. Bella screamed and kicked, but when Mum told her to be quiet or "there would be trouble," she stopped screaming and tried to get down. Mum carried her upstairs to have a bath.

We all sighed and set up the game again and started playing. Don't get me wrong, I love my little sister, but she can get annoying. I have learnt not to ever play Monopoly again with her until she was old enough to understand how to play.
