A/N Sorry that this took so long! The wedding was simply marvelous and school was hetic. I would like to thank anyone who has read, reviewed, favortied, or alerted my story! Thank you so much! And a big thank you to my aweson beta Tay Bee for helping with my stories! Enjoy this chapter! Thanks for reading!
This will be the only other one for the story because I wouldn't be on here if I were Stephenie Meyer. SO here goes nothing... I don't own Twilight or any of the original characters, I only use them in my stories.
Regaurding HCGB~ As anyone who reads it knows it was based on a true story. I got permission from the author of "Our Boys" to write the story, but it was just too similar, so I deleted it and now I am rewriting the story. Just as a precautionary method I wanted to tell anyone who plans on reading it that the beginning chapters are mostly the same except for the deaths. The deaths are going to be more morbid and less heroic, but Maria and Jasper's will be exactly the same. So keep a look-out for the new and improved version of HCGB!

Ugh! Eve, drink the milk. Please." I bargained with my daughter, pushing the bottle into her sticky hands again.
"No!" She yelled, messily throwing the bottle off the side of her high chair. I sighed and grabbed a towel to clean up the mess.
One of Eve's most recent developments was saying the word "no." I was thrilled at first, considering the only other word she knew was mama, but now it was getting annoying. She was teething, and thus very fussy, but I wouldn't have it any other way. She kept me on my toes.
"Oh give me that, Bells." Charlie chuckled, grabbing the bottle from the counter and scooping Eve out of her high chair. He kissed her forhead and quickly stuck the bottle in her mouth. She took right to it.
Two weeks had flown by, and several new developments had come along. For one, Charlie absolutely loved Eve. She adored him, too. She always behaved for him, and he loved to point that out.
"You were the same way when you were a baby, Bells. You wouldn't eat unless someone was holding you." He laughed and carried her out of the room.
The door burst open and Alice and Rose stormed in the kitchen.
"Girls! Be quiet when you come in. You never know when Eve is napping, and you wake her up all the time." I laughed at them.
"Sorry Bells." Rose said. "We're just frustrated with cheer tryouts."
Another development was that I wasn't trying out for cheer this year. I decided it would be best for my daughter if I could spend as much time with her as possible.
"Did we wake her?" Alice asked.
"No, Charlie's got her in the living room." I replied. Rose squealed and got up to run and see her. She loved playing with her. She came back in the room with her a few moments later, sitting down at the table and wiping the milk off her chin.
"So what's up with tryouts?" I asked.
"Well, we won't be going back." Alice said. My head snapped to hers and she laughed. "You wouldn't believe these girls, Bella. They actually suggested that we start sleeping with the football guys after every game, so that they play better."
I laughed. "But you are both sleeping with guys on the team." I snorted.
"True," Rose said, "but we're in love with them. You better watch up on Edward." She laughed. "They kept bringing him up, and since no one here knows you, they don't really know you are dating."
"I'm not worried." I laughed. "When do the boys get out of football practice?" I asked.
"In a few hours." Alice responded. "I'm gonna run home and get ready for the dance recital. I'll be back to pick you girls up in a few hours. Bella, take a nap. You look tired." She said, waggiling a finger at me.
"I am, Eve didn't sleep through the night last night." I sighed. "Something she ate didn't agree with her."
"Ewe." Alice said before spinning away.
Tonight was the night we had all been waiting for, the recital. We were going to pick the boys up from practice and then head over to the theatre.
"Well I'm going to go take a shower," Rose said, heading up the stairs.
Another development over the last two weeks was Rose moving in.
Jasper and Rose's parents had a sudden job offer in Texas, and decided to move. Of course, Jasper and Rose only had one more year in high school, and didn't want to leave Forks, so their parents decided to let them stay her. Rose moved in with me, and Jasper was staying in the "extra room" at the Cullen house.
I took a nap and woke up an hour or so later feeling refreshed. I waited for the baby monitor to alert me that Eve had woken and picked up a book. I was on the second page when I heard her cries.
I got out of bed walking down the hall toward her room, an old storage room that Charlie had painted after he met Eve. I stopped to knock on Rose and Emmett's door, yelling for Rose to wake up. I opened the nursery door and Eve smiled and started happily squealing, a skill that she picked up from Alice.
"Hey baby," I smiled, pulling her out of her crib, "You want to go watch Uncle Em, Uncle J and Uncle Eddie practice?"
At the sound of Emmett's name she giggled, she was a smart one year old.
"Let's get you dressed then," I smiled walking toward the bathroom to begin our after nap routine.
When we finished getting ready and dressed I opened the gate to the top of the stairs and walked down them. I quickly learned that walking babies could get into anything, so we put gates at the top and the bottom of the stairs.
"Morning Bella!" Emmett cheered running down the stairs, Rose about ten steps behind him.
"Hey Bella, Eve," Rose smiled.
"Emmett? Why are you here?" I asked.
"I called in sick," he laughed, reaching over and squeezing Rose's butt. She squealed and spun around to slap him.
"Are you ready to dance tonight?" I asked.
"Yeah, so ready!" Emmett cheered. Throughout the weeks of practice he had begun to actually like the dances that weren't hip hop.
"Is Eve coming tonight?" Rose asked.
"Yeah, I am pretty sure that Esme wanted to watch her," I chuckled to myself.
"It's good that you have her to watch your daughter," Rose smiled.
"Yeah," I chuckled.
"Mama," Eve giggled pointing to Emmett. I started laughing because he had basically just called Emmett a girl.
"No sweetie, that's Uncle Em," I chuckled. I looked over toward Emmett to see that he had a shocked expression on his face.
"That's okay Em, she didn't mean to call you a girl," I laughed.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna go to the second half of two-a-days," he grumbled. "I think I've had a miraculous recovery," he said, looking at the clock. He began running around in circles looking for all of his football pads.
"You should stop sleeping with your girlfriend and get ready for football practice, oh captain."
"Shut up," Emmett rolled his eyes, running up the stairs to get dressed.
"So... Rose…?" I looked at her.
"Yes Bella?" she chuckled.
"Are you two being safe?" I joked.
"Yes mom," she sighed. We looked at each other and then started cracking up. A loud crash upstairs broke our laughter.
"Shit!" Emmett yelled.
"What did he do?" Rose chuckled peering around the corner.
"Who knows," I chuckled pulling Eve out of her highchair and walking to find my clothes for the day. Eve was dressed and ready to go so all I had to do was get her ready.
"Rose, do you want to go with Eve and I or with Mr. Captain?" I chuckled.
"Considering that I have to get dressed I will probably go with you, I really don't want to ride with three smelly guys," she giggled.
"Okay. I am going to call Alice," I chuckled, turning the corner to see Emmett's scrambled figure on the floor.
"What did you do Emmett?" I laughed.
"Tripped over that damn baby gate," he grumbled. I shot him a glare, "What?"
"Stop swearing in front of my daughter please," I begged. "She's going to start picking words up soon."
"Sorry Bells, I'll work on it," he sighed.
"Thank you. I really don't want her to get a mouth like you," I joked running up the stairs to get myself dressed. I ran into my room, shutting the door behind me so I could let Eve run around in circles. I patted around on my bed looking for my phone, until I finally found in under my pillow.
"Hello?" Alice asked.
"Alice?" I chuckled at her heavy breathing.
"Hey!" she squealed.
"Do you want to come over to pick up the guys? I decided that I would let Eve run around," I asked.
"Sure Bella. I got to go," she said quickly, her breath still heavy.
"Mary Alice Cullen!" I giggled, "Is Jasper at practice? Or did he call in sick too?"
"I'll talk to you later Bella," she giggled hanging up the phone.
"That hyper little pixie," I chuckled in disbelief.
"Knock, knock," Rose smiled opening and shutting the door.
"Hey," I chuckled.
"What's going on?" she asked confused.
"I think that Alice and your brother were having sex on the phone while I was talking to her," I chuckled in disbelief.
"Are you serious?" she laughed.
"Yeah. I think," I giggled.
"Wow. Now it's your turn." she joked.
"Are you going to get dressed or wear your pajamas?" I asked Rose.
"I am getting dressed," she answered showing me the clothes that she was going to wear today.
"Okay. I am going to take a quick shower, would you mind…" she cut me off.
"Of course not Bells. Go take a shower, I can watch Eve for a few minutes," she answered.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you," I giggled running into the bathroom.
I jumped into the shower letting the warm water cascade down my back, letting all the tension roll off.
I was so scared that when school started again, Edward was going to find someone new. I knew Edward loved me, but those new cheerleaders scared me.
I got out of the shower when I was done and got dressed and ready for hanging out today. I carefully walked out of the bathroom and turned left moving back towards my closet to find some clothes for today. I finally found something to wear and I pulled it on then carefully went back into the bathroom to look in the mirror before walking out to relieve Rose of baby duty. I had decided to wear a purple shirt with a radio on it that said, "Just dance. Turn that record babe," with black skinny jeans and black flats with a buckle on the toe.
"Your turn," I chuckled walking out of the bathroom.
"Mama!" Eve squealed pointing towards me.
"Yes, that's your mama," Rose giggled.
"You ready to go?" I asked.
"Yep. How do I look?" she chuckled spinning around in a circle. She was wearing a grey three quarter length sleeve shirt, with denim boot cut jeans and silver ballet flats.
"You look simply marvelous darling," I giggled.
"Why thank you. I do think that it is time to pick up our good friend Alice," She chuckled.
"Indubitably," I giggled, grabbing Eve before walking down the stairs. We drove the whole ten feet to the Cullen's house, still laughing at Emmett for falling down the stairs. When we got all the way up the driveway I honked twice before Alice came running out the door. She was wearing a very Alice like outfit, a plain grey tee shirt that said "Only vampires can love you forever," with skinny jeans and flat grey boots.
"Good morning Alice," Rose laughed, looking at her, which made me laugh because I knew why she was laughing.
"What's so funny?" she asked.
"Nothing," we chuckled.
"Uh-huh," she sighed.
"So Alice what were you and my brother doing while you were on the phone with Bella?" Rose asked causing Alice to blush bright red.
"Hey, I thought that was my job," I joked.
"We will talk when we get there," Alice sighed burying her head in her phone.
We pulled up the driveway to Forks High, driving up and down aisles looking for a parking spot. When I finally found an open one I pulled into it and put my car in park. I got out of the car and got Eve out of her seat. We walked into the stadium, and I started looking for Edward.
I jumped ten feet in the air when I felt two hands grab me from behind. Alice and Rose burst out laughing.
"Sorry that I scared you love," Edward smiled.
"It's fine," I chuckled.
He grabbed Eve from my arms and spun her in a soft circle. Her giggles broke the silence that had settled. Edward laughed and sat her on his hip. I could never doubt his love for me.
"What are you thinking?" Edward asked me.
"Nothing." I smiled, pushing the negative thoughts out of my head.
"Okay, I'll see you later right?" he asked.
"Of course you will," I smiled.
"That's right, because tonight I get to dance with the most beautiful girl," he smiled.
"I love you," I smiled.
"As I love you," he chuckled, kissing me.
"Oooohhhhh…" the guys on the football team laughed. Three guys, none of which I knew walked over.
"You must be Coach's girl," he chuckled.
"Stop being a twit Newton," Edward smacked his head, "This is Mike Newton, transfer student from two years ago, and these two fools are Jeremy and Jake. Both of them are sophomores."
"Nice to meet you," I smiled, "I'm Bella."
"Bella, name suits you," Mike looked at me lustfully.
"Newton, two laps." Edward glared at him.
"Yes sir. Bye beautiful!" he called running away.
"Sorry about him," Jeremy smiled.
"It's okay, but he looks familiar for some reason," I shook my head trying to get rid of questions that kept coming back.
"He's an ass Bells, just ignore him," Edward smiled, kissing my forehead. He handed Eve to me before walking toward the field.
"Dada!" Eve shouted after him.
"Oh shit!" I muttered under my breath.
"Chit." Eve giggled, looking up to me.
Of course she'd start picking up words as soon as I swear.
