Chapter 4
Walking to my next class with a girl named Angela, sweet girl. We have biology together, we walk in and instantly I notice Edward, the very handsome, bubble bath worthy guy that I sat with at lunch. I also notice that only available seat is next to him, or at least I hope it is. This could be a good thing, because of how good he looks, but also a bad thing, because I am crushing on him. I swore myself no more men. Yeah, but a body wants what the body wants. I feel a nudge in my side pulling me away from my ogling.

"Yeah he is gorgeous" Angela whispers in my ear.

I turn to her, I can feel my cheeks burn red "I…I…" I can't finish my sentence I'm humiliated that she caught me checking him out.
I look back at Edward who has a smirk on his face, like he has heard everything that was said.
I get my book from the teacher, he tells me the only seat available is next to the god like creature. So I go over to my seat next to him.

"Hi Bella" Edward says to me.
"Hey" I say trying to not to look at him, instead I get my things out.
"So what do your parents think of you having kids" He ask politely but yet, I don't know there is something behind his words, something I can't figure out.
I look up from my books and into his exquisite eyes, they look like they are supposed to be golden brown, but they look like they are turning to black, then looking to just below his eyes, it looks purple, like he hasn't slept in days or a broken nose of some sort, but it just adds to his beauty. His skin is so white, whiter than me and that's saying something, but again it just adds to his wonderful looks.
I don't know how long went by that I just stared at him, making a complete fool of myself, did I finally answer.
"Um, when I told them, they were on their way to Florida, they weren't exactly upset with me." I think about my dad cussing into the phone
"That **** a** hole… I am going to kill him." remembering my dad's words
"But they died in a car accident before they even got there, so yeah" I go back to looking at my book, trying to concentrate on the teacher, but the tears start to fall onto the paper, leaving damp spots.
"I'm sorry" Edward replies, you can really hear the sorrow in his apology.
I sniffle, pathetic I know but I did
"No," deep breath "its ok, nobody has even bothered to ask about them." I smile a fake smile, looking into his eyes, falling into them is more like it.
He smiles this most perfect smile; it instantly brightens my day up. But not completely, I miss my kids.
"So, what made you move to Forks, it's not exactly the sunniest place?" He asks like he is trying to get off the subject, I could thank.
"Jeez, what's with the questions?" I ask jokingly, though I do have a little curiosity behind my joking tone. Not a single person has really asked about me personally, except where I am from, what is Phoenix like, such things like that.

"Well, you see there are a lot of rumors going around about you, and I want to clear those up for you so I thought why not ask you about you" I look at him, completely in awe. I don't know if the rumor things are true, but he wants to know me…I wonder why?
"Well, I have family friend down here, and I also needed to get away from Phoenix." I say then the bell rings.
I turn to Edward but he is already out of his seat leaving the class room, but he turns to me and wave's good-bye or maybe a see ya later. Then leaves the room, I'm a little stunned, but then it sinks in, great he's was just feeling sorry for me, because I have two kids. He's probably going to tell the whole school all about it. If he hasn't already done just that. I sigh, thinking 'what difference does it make. He is just a boy.'
I start gathering my stuff up when a kid comes up to me
"Hi I'm Mike Newton"
"Bella" I say not looking at him, too distracted.

"Yeah I know. Everyone knows you." This Mike kid has a lot of confidence in his voice. I finally look up at this boy, he is built, shaggy brown hair, cute to most girls but not me. You can tell that he is jock, and I'm not the jock kind of girl.
"Oh, small school, it gets around right?" I say before he does, trying to end his confidence, it's obvious, new girl, and another notch in his belt, but not this girl.
He gets a sheepish look. I think I accomplished my goal, "Yeah, so what's your next class?"
I look at my schedule, I sigh looking at the name "Gym"
He gets a big grin on his face "me too, we can walk together."

Great confidence is back, and I am going to have to deal with his flirtatious behavior.
Then the thought of gym comes back to mind, making me want to grimace instead I smile but it's not an enthusiastic one. I hate gym, I hate everything about it. It's not because I am bad, it's just annoying. I don't know, ok I'm lying o myself I suck at gym, I have no hand eye coordination when it comes to sports, but you get me home to Piper and Chris, playing with those two should be an Olympic sport. Ah, I miss them, just one more class then I get to go home to them.

Gym class Mike wouldn't leave me only thus I accidently hit him twice with my lacrosse stick.

Lacrosse wasn't too bad I didn't fall or get hit by the ball so I could say it was a success, and when I heard that bell ring I all but sprinted out to my car. I can't wait to get home and see my babies.

.I am almost at a jog to my car when I feel a pull at my arm; I look up to see Mike Newton.
"Hey in a hurry?" he asks with a big smirk on his face.
"Yes" I reply a little irritable.
"Sorry, but I just want to ask if you wanted to maybe go out sometime?" He has the biggest smile, like there is no way I could possible say no, sorry to burst his bubble.
"No, I don't think so" I gentle pull my arm out of his hand and continue to walk to my car, on the way there I pass Edward who is chuckling, and the rest of his family are looking at him as if he is crazy. Edward looks up and meets my eyes, putting me into a trance like state, and in doing so I trip, landing face first into the ground.
Good job Bella, I feel a cold hand pressing on my arm trying to help me up.
"Thanks, I don't know how that happened" I say then look to see that it is Edward that has helped me up. He has a smirk on his face as he lets go of my arm.
"No problem, you should really watch were you walking though" He says trying not to laugh at my klutziness. His eyes meet mine, something passes between us. I don't know.
"Yeah" I say, I can't help but to continue to look at his eyes, they are so memorizing.
He must be just as memorized because he can't take his off me. His golden tint seems to be on fire. I just want to touch him.
"Edward" I hear one of his siblings call him, breaking our eye contact to look over at his family.

"Coming, see you tomorrow Bella." He walks back to his car, all his family is now getting into the car but not before they each give me a look, and it's not a nice one either.

"Yeah" I say a little too late. I finally arrive at my car when Mike appears next to, scarring the hell out of me.

"Jesus Mike." I say with a hand over my heart. "You scared me." I finish, and then open my door.

"Why don't you want to go out with me? It doesn't have to be tonight or anything." He asks a little agitated.
I sigh, "Mike I don't have time to date ok." I throw my bag into the passenger's seat.
"You're 17, how can you not have time." He says a little more rudely. I guess he has never been turned down.

"Mike, I have a set of twins" I pull out my picture of Piper and Chris and hand it to him.
"They are two, and I rather be with them then out on the town. And if you don't mind I really want to get home to them." I then rip the picture out if his hands. His expression is of shock and embarrassment. I get in my car slam my door shut and leave.

I arrive at my house and relieve a content sigh, finally I am home. I know it's only been 6 or so hours but this is the first time that I actually had to leave my babies more than an hour or so.
I walk in to find my living room completely put together, all my family pictures are up on the walls and mantle. Billy is next to the sofa, where Piper and Chris are sitting staring at Billy, I walk closer to him to hear what he is telling them.
"A legend of the Quileute tribe is that we have magic in our blood. And this magic turns us into wolves." His voice has an edge to it; my babies are at the edge of their seats. They still have acknowledged me yet, so I don't interrupt, I let him go on.

"But we only needed to turn to wolves when the cold ones are around."
Piper's eyes got wide, but it is Chris that asks,
"What is a cod one?"
Billy grins "They are a fierce creature, they suck blood from" I quickly stop him
"Hey I am home"
Chris's face lights up and runs to me and hugs my leg.
"Mama I miss you"
"Me to me to" Piper says and hugs my other leg.
"I missed you guys too" I bend to the floor to hug and kiss them. I feel whole again.
I look at Billy, giving him a look; he returns a sheepish one.
"I hope they were good for you" I say to Billy, and then I see Jake descend from the stairs.
"Yes, they like to listen to stories, especially scary ones." Billy chuckles.
I look around to the kitchen and see that it is also completely put together.
"I have to say, I really appreciate that you guys put together my down stairs. It really looks amazing." I pick up Chris, Piper just runs back to the couch.
"Well, out would have to thank Jake; he is the one who did all this. I just kept the little ones out of his way."I turn to Jacob; he's blushing
"Thank you so much." I go over and hug him.

"It's no big thing; I just finished up the twin's rooms. I figured that you would want to do your own room though." He starts fidgeting.

"Yes, thank you so much."
"Chris, Piper you guys play while I start dinner." I set Chris down, it kind of kills me, I haven't seen them all day but I need to speak to Billy. I wave to him to follow me into the kitchen out if reach of my babies ears.
"Could you not tell them vampire stories or too scary of stories, I don't want them to have nightmares." I say
"Oh yes of course, I'm sorry it's just that they don't seem like two year olds. They are just so advanced. And well, very um" You can see that he is trying to bring up that they aren't normal two year olds.
"Yes, I know what you mean, but they are still little." I don't continue into the subject of why they are like that.
"Well Jake, we better be off" He starts to wheel off.

"Oh, don't you want to stay for dinner" I ask, I little worried that I offended him.

"Sorry Bella, we have plans down at Harry Clearwater's, but I will see you in the morning." He says, you can hear it in his voice that he knows that I am hiding something.

"Thank you for today, and see you" I say waving good-bye.

"Bye Biwly and Jake" Piper and Chris say together.

They leave and start making spaghetti; trying to think of what to tell Billy. I have to tell him the truth he has done so much for me, watching my kids, testifying at my emancipation trial. Tomorrow I will tell him; well what I can tell him.
The nigh goes by fast, Piper and Chris are asleep in their rooms. I am in mine doing homework when I hear a howl. Oh no, it can't be, and then I hear to scratching at my window. A man with raggy black hair and very built, scary intimating built is in my window,
It's not my kids father but it one of his buddies. Kevin.
I try to get to my phone but he breaks my window and throws me to the wall.
"Hello Bella" He puts me in a choke hold, I'm five feet in the air, struggling for air. I can feel the coldness taking hold of me, calling me to it.
