Part 3 - Meeting the Family Again

As soon the boys were done with their playing music downtown, they invited Bella for a dinner afterwards, then she was going with Michael and Eddie back home to their parents' and meet the family again. Something she was both exicted and scared of, exicted to meet them all again, but scared of what kind of reactions they would have on her story that she told Michael and Eddie earlier, which made them both rather pissed for her sake, but she also got together with Eddie that day.

So after a great dinner with the boys including the bandmates, the three of them got into Michael's car, and then took off towards South Dakota and Aberbeen. Meanwhile she wrote to her dad, as she didnt have that much contact him nowadays due to a fight they had just minutes before she left Forks for her college.

He was pissed off that she didnt want to stay one more year in Forks and maybe give Jacob Black of all people in the town, a fair chance to date him, but she told him off in angry huff, that Jacob Black is not only too young for her, but she didnt even like him in that way, and never would either.

It made her dad rather pissed and had slapped her for first time, and after that she just gave a disgusted look and took off with her luggage in her hands, and into her new car, and took off for college without another word or anything really.

She texted him that she was there and ok, and that she liked her classes already and now she was on her way with two childhood friends of hers to visit their family for first time in many years since she last seen them all. And that she was exicted to meet them again. He didnt even bother to text back, but try to call her instead, but she hung up on him and turned off the phone completely.

After a day or so, they pulled up to the Spears' family plot and house, and she smiled as she remember and recognised the house like before, and it made her feel alot more at home and more at peace being there again. Eddie smiled, as he said

"You Ok, babe?" At that she smiled, and said

"Yes, it is just like coming home for me, Ed." At that both of them grinned, as Michael went out of the car, while Eddie went out and around to her side of the car, and opened the door for her, while Michael took care of their luggage. As soon they all came into the house, the people in the kitchen came out and it was Mary Ann, their mother, who said

"Oh boys you are home. And who is this?" Bella smiled, as Eddie said

"Don't remember Bella Swan, mama?" At that she gasped then pulled Bella into her arms, and hugged her warmly, as she said

"Oh it is so good to see you again, sweetheart." Bella just smiled and held onto Mary for few moments, before letting go, as a voice she remember and recognise to be their father and Mary's husband, Patrick, said

"Wow boys, you are home, and who are you hugging Mary?" Mary smiled, as she said

"Bella Swan, dear." At that he gasped and pulled her out of Mary's arms and into his own, as she smiled, as she said

"Hey Pat" And that he just smiled and kissed the top of her head, and held her for few minutes, before letting her go, and they both got to see her go to Eddie's side and whom smiled and took her hand in his, and they both shared a look and smile to each other, and let the three come inside the living room, where the others were in.

As soon Lesley saw her, she squealed and ran over, saying

"Bella!" And the two women hugged aswell, as Bella said

"Hey Les, so you remember me?"

"Of course I do, beside you may have grown, but you still are the same girl that Eddie followed around at school."

At that both of them blushed slightly, though only visable on Bella's face, as the other of the siblings now also recognised and remembered her, and gave her a hug aswell, then Michael introduced to his four children, who she smiled and shook hands with, which made themselves feel alittle better around her, and give her a soft smiles back.

His young boys especially after meeting her, was going after her like following her around, and as soon she sat down next to Eddie, the two asked if they could sit on their laps, and of course they could. Michael and his older two, Jasmine and Noah just grinned at this, while the others just smiled at the sight.

After a while, the kids of their siblings and Michael's, took off to the back garden to play in the pool and have fun there, while Bella sat holding Eddie's hand in her own, which himself rubbed his thumb over her hand softly. The others of his siblings stared at this, but it was Patrick Jr who said

"Are you two dating?" Bella blushed, as she bit her lip, as Eddie said

"Yes, we are, Pat." At that most of them grinned wider and congratulated the two happily. Michael just had a smile on his lips, as one of his younger sons, came running in and said

"There is some strange man outside by the driveway, and he says to get Bells out there to himself."

Bella paled, and held onto Eddie's hand as he looked over to her to see that reactions, as he said

"Who is this, babe?" Bella licked her lips, and said

"My dad probably, as he is the only one who calls me Bells, but why here or how he found out that I am here, I don't know how to. As I haven't spoken a word to himself in months since I left after a fight we had where he slapped me for first and only time ever."

"He what?"

Bella nodded, as he pulled her closer, as Michael told his son, to let the man inside to the living room, that Bella was in here. Soon after her dad come rushing in and pulling at her arm, as she said

"Stop dad, I am not going anywhere with you." At that he pulled to a stop and turned to her, and said

"You won't what, Jacob is waiting for you now."

"Well tell him that it is too late, for I am already in relationship with a man, not a boy himself still is, and that he is 1000 times better than Jacob Black or my bastard ex, Edward Cullen could ever be again. I hate Edward with passion, and I do NOT like or love Jacob in that way, wont ever either. So give the fuck up and move on, Charlie."

At that he just shook his head and took off with angry look on his face, while the others that dont know who these two boys she mentioned are, but Eddie rubbed her back, as she took a deep breathe of relief for now. His parents shared a look, that spoke more words than actions of another. Michael stood behind the couch and had a hand on her shoulder, as he praised his son for being brave to go and get this angry man that was Bella's own father.
