Chapter 4
I woke up alone again and realized that it was almost noon. I could hear Charlie and Sue laughing downstairs, Ty must be keeping them entertained I smiled as I heard Charlie whistling. Shes probably dancing and showing them her new ballet moves, I need to find some classes for her. She was crazy clumsy like me but she loves her dance classes. I decided to get up and headed to the bathroom and changed into some dark skinny jeans, I tucked a black t-shirt into the jeans put on a maroon zip up hoodie and grabbed my doc martens. I let my hair down in waves and didn't put any makeup on.
When I came downstairs I saw Ty was on the floor playing with the dolls Sue had gotten for her. I knelt down and kissed her on her head.
"Come on baby, let's give you a bath" I told her as I picked her up and headed towards the bathroom upstairs.
"Mama, when are we going to see daddy?" she asked.
"Im not sure Tyty, daddy is out of town" I answered back. I was dreading her asking about him. I'm surprised it took her so long to ask.
"Grandpa Billy said soon" Ty said, damn it Billy I needed to talk to him.
"Bella I can help since you've already changed, you haven't had breakfast" Sue said kindly from the couch. I smiled at her, it was weird having help like this. I never sleep in or have help offered to me.
"Thank you, Sue, I'll get it started and pick out some clothes for her, she mainly can clean herself she just needs to be watched." Sue smiled big and followed me up, she took Ty into the bathroom as I picked out some dark blue jeans, a white fuzzy sweater, a brown hooded puffy vest and her brown boots. I smiled as I heard Ty giggling and splashing. She deserves to be with family and have others in her life, they all deserve this.
I was sitting on my bed when my phone chirped, I froze when it kept chirping. I slowly got up and pulled it out of my suitcase. No one ever called or messaged me, so I knew who it was. When I saw the messages, I started shaking.
Alice: Bella, I saw Ty in the hospital. Please calm down I don't need to see the future to know you are freaking out! She was laughing and looked fine but keep an extra careful eye on her. I haven't seen any movement of Victoria, the last I've seen of her was what I told you weeks ago. She moved on and is no longer interested in hunting you. I will always keep an eye out for my favorite girls, please give Ty my love and don't be mad about the package I'm sending. Edward is freaking out, ignore his whining.
Alice: Everyone sends their love to you and Ty
I reread the message a dozen times. Victoria is gone, she isn't following or even interested in me anymore. How did Ty end up in the hospital? I'm sure I won't be able to bubble wrap her, she definitely got my clumsiness, but she loves to dance and run, when she falls she usually just laughs it off. I don't think I have ever seen her cry from falling or getting hurt.
Bella: Thank you Alice, please send our love as well. Tell Edward I'm fine and to not go crazy. Of course, I'm going to freak! How did she look in the hospital? Was there anything broken? Blood? Please no packages, Ty has more than enough clothes and toys.
Alice: She looked fine! A few scratches on her arm and a bruise on her chin, there is no such thing as too much clothes or toys. The package should be there today. =)
Yup, my child fell, and it most likely sounded like it might be a bush that gave her scratches. There is no winning with Alice, I just hope it isn't crazy gowns or something ridiculous like that.
When Edward left, and broke my heart, Alice kept in touch. She told me that the decisions her brother made have nothing to do with our friendship. When I was away at school we talked all the time. She was also there for me when everything with Jacob happened, but I refused for her to come see me. When she saw that I was pregnant she immediately wanted to come see me, but I begged her not too, I wasn't ready for anyone but Charlie, Sue and my mom to be around Ty. She of course fought it for years until last year she came and visited with Rosalie and Esme. Ty was a bit nervous, but she had heard about them for some time, so she warmed up to them quickly. Edward and I talked, and I forgave him for everything that happened, but I also thanked him because it led to me having Ty.
I texted Edward as I walked back down to the kitchen to eat.
Bella: Everything is fine, Ty and I are in one piece.
Edward: I understand the need to go back home, but I do not see why we could not accompany you. We have a home there, it would be easy to protect you.
Bella: There is nothing to protect me from. Victoria is gone.
Edward: Vampires are not the only monsters in this world.
Bella: well if I see any other monsters you'll be the first to know. Now please relax… everything is fine.
Edward: Alright, be safe Bella…. please keep in touch. Alice sent a whole summer wardrobe for the both of you.
Damn it Alice! I knew it!
"Hey Bells, who you talking too?" Charlie asked from the kitchen table.
"I'm texting Alice" I said through clenched teeth.
Bella: I WILL CHANGE ADDRESSES IF YOU SEND ANYMORE CLOTHES!
Alice: lol I will still find you duh!
I walked over to the stove and made myself a plate of eggs and bacon, grabbed some coffee and sat with Charlie. When I looked at him he seemed worried.
"I didn't realize you kept in touch with any of the Cullens" Charlie said a bit put off.
"Yeah, I have for years, when I left for school Alice reached out to me and we realized that just because Edward and I didn't work out didn't mean we couldn't have a friendship. She's come twice to see Ty" I said after I finished chewing on some food. Man, this was good.
"The Cullen's have been around Ty" Charlie exclaimed in an angry voice. His tone made me look up at him. My father wasn't the kind of man who got angry like that it was rare.
"Yeah they have, Alice, Rosalie and Esme have come to visit her. What's the problem?" I answered back in the same tone as his.
Instead of answering me, he got up and started walking towards the living room. He stopped and turned around.
"They are not welcome in this house Bella" he gritted trough his teeth, he then walked out of the kitchen and I heard the front door slam.
What the heck is going on?
Running for a few days and nights and being dead tired doesn't exactly make you the best person to talk too. I was dirty and hungry and just needed to sleep for a few hours. I needed to get back to the pack and my shop. When I made it home, dad was there, and I knew he was waiting for me I didn't want to talk to him about that night. I walked up the stairs and stepped inside, I saw that dad was in the living room watching t.v. I started to walk passed him to my room, when he stopped me.
"Jake, we need to talk" dad said in a hard voice. I looked over to him and saw how tired he looked. Damn it, he must have been waiting for me for a while.
"Are we going to start with why you were with Bella that night?" I asked I tried to have the most uninterested voice, but I'm sure dad saw right through that.
He did, he gave me a sad smile and gestured for me to sit on the couch next to him. I took a deep breath and sat down. I put my elbows on my knees and hung my head.
"Leah came to find me the night you left, I am starting with that!" he was pissed.
Shit, I never told him I was leaving, I wasn't even thinking when I left.
"Dad, I didn't even think when I left" I whispered
"As chief of this tribe, an elder and your father I deserve to know when the Alpha of the tribes' pack is going to be gone for almost two weeks!" he was talking through clenched teeth, and his face was red. Damn I messed up. I took a deep breath and leaned back onto the couch. I looked at him in the eyes and apologized.
"I'm sorry, you're right it's not my Beta's responsibility to tell you when I'll be leaving it's the Alphas, and as your son I should have told you as well, it won't happen again." I stood up then and tried to walk to my room when he grabbed my arm.
"I accept your apology, but we are not done here. Sit back down son" Dad said in a gentler tone.
I sat back down and looked at him again.
"Well?" I said impatiently.
"Leah, gave me some news. Apparently, Bella is not to step onto La Push. In the absence of the Alpha I have the authority to revoke rules you place. Bella is now able to come to La Push." Dad said in a very happy voice.
I snapped my head up at that.
"You can't do that, this is my pack and if I tell them to do something they need to comply, don't get involved with my pack dad. You have no place there" I said furiously, my body began the familiar trembling of anger. The wolf didn't like anyone disobeying him. He looked at me with raised eyebrows.
"You do not have the authority to banish people from La Push, only the Chief does and that is only within our own members." Dad said calmly, he didn't sound upset if anything he seemed amused. What the hell is wrong here?
"I spoke with Emily and Leah, they are going to start planning the summer BBQ for the new wolves. Charlie and Sue will be here like usual and I'm sure that Charlie will want Bella there. Plus, we need to start reminding the pack of our moon legends, we will have a dark moon this winter and any mated wolves will need to be prepared." He said matter of fact.
I stared at him hard, what does Bella have to do with any of this, I thought.
"The new wolves, need to be surrounded by family and outsiders who know the truth." He said.
"There are no outsiders who know the truth, only family. Bella will not be attending, this might be your tribe, but this is my pack and I decide who comes to our pack meetings. I'll tell Charlie myself, and if he doesn't like it then he can stay home with Bella." I said as I stood. I was done with this conversation.
"You can't stop her from coming here, she's been here almost every day looking for you." He yelled from the living room. She's been looking for me? It didn't matter, I was not falling for her lies again. Plus, she moved on, my heart gave a painful thump. I didn't want to think about her with someone else. The wolf was unsettled, he wanted to see her, make sure she was alright. He didn't care what we heard of this Ty, he still wanted her.
It was the tenth time Charlie brought up the BBQ in La Push, I get it he wanted me to go. But I couldn't that is not how I wanted Jake to meet Ty.
"Dad, I am not going to the BBQ. I've told you that is not how I want Jake to meet Ty for the first time." I explained again. He just didn't get it.
"Well he's been avoiding you for the past two months. You've gone to La Push every other day and he's never there. If you go to the BBQ he will be there for sure" He tried to convince me, and it was working. Crap! He was also right, I've gone for every other day to La Push, hoping to run into him. Tonight, at the BBQ felt too soon.
I don't want to risk taking Ty out there and running into Jake with her or any of his friends. So, I mainly go to pick up Billy, so he can visit. He tells me that I should just go to the shop that Jake runs but I don't want to go there with all his friends and employees there. I've gone to see Emily and Leah when I'm there, and they have been very friendly to me. Emily is planning her wedding with Sam. When they told me that Leah and Sam were together and then Sam left Leah for Emily I was surprised that Emily and Leah were still talking. They told me everything happens for a reason and that they loved each other enough to work it out. Leah actually moved on and she's actually with Embry and she thinks that Embry might propose soon.
I've hung out with Leah and Seth a lot, Seth says that since we are family now we need to get annoyingly familiar with each other. They haven't met Ty either, I always meet them somewhere else. They haven't brought up Jacob at all which I appreciate but makes me suspicious. I wonder if Jakes told them something.
"Ty has been asking to go to the beach, it's warm enough to go to the beach now. It's the perfect excuse, maybe you will see him there." Charlie said a bit smugly.
"Yes! The beach mama! Sea shells please!" Ty came in running and started jumping up and down. She looked up at Charlie and gave him a big smile. "Grandpa you can come too right? We can go fishing." She told him.
I looked up at Charlie and gave him an annoyed face, he knew I was stuck now. She's been stuck in this house for weeks and hasn't complained about it yet.
Charlie picked her up and they both looked at me, he whispered in her ear and when Ty looked at me she started to pout.
"Please mama, I promise to find you the most prettiest shell" she said in a small cute voice, and huge eyes.
Damn it, today might be the day.
"Jacob!" Dad called out from the new SUV I bought last year. The Shop has been doing great and I decided that a bigger truck is what we needed. Dad needed more space when I took him to his appointments. Plus, as wolves we're huge, being over six feet not many cars are comfortable.
"Yeah?" I yelled from the porch, I was loading stuff for the BBQ later today.
"Grab my books from the bed I forgot them." He answered back.
After I grabbed what he wanted, I ran back out and we took off to the beach.
"What did Charlie say when you spoke to him?" Billy said smugly.
"You know I couldn't get a hold of him" I answered in an annoyed voice, I had been trying to reach Charlie for weeks and each time I called or went to the station he was never available.
Dad just laughed, I looked over at him and he was red from laughing.
"I told you not to get involved, if Bella is here I will ask her to leave. I don't care what anyone says this is my pack and I decide who is involved with them." I told him in a cold voice. My wolf didn't like anyone questioning his decisions, but at the same time the wolf was mad because he wanted to see Bella.
"I am not getting involved, I simply spoke to my best friend and I gave him a warning about the call he was going to get from you. If Charlie didn't want to talk to you that's something you should discuss with him. And I understand the need to protect the pack, but Bella is no danger to them, plus you don't want to upset Charlie he is a big part of the pack, they all love him and you upsetting him will upset the new wolves." Dad said in a reasonable tone, I knew he was right but at this point I didn't care. And this is exactly what I don't want. She consumes all my thought and my decisions.
When we got to the beach everyone was there and once we got settled, I knew she was there. The pain in my chest eased a lot and when I looked around I saw her. And my heart stopped when I saw her in the water.
Charlie, sue, Ty and I have been at the beach since the morning. I've been slathering sunblock almost every hour on myself and on Ty. We've been in and out of the ocean, we've made a sandcastle and filled a bucket full of shells. I was currently sitting on the beach under an umbrella eating a sandwich, Ty was next to me taking a nap. She was exhausted, she was slightly snoring and looked ridiculously cute in her Minnie Mouse bathing suit it was a one piece and it was full of polka dots with a big red cute bow right above her butt and Minnie's face was in the front on her belly. She insisted that I get a matching one, so I was wearing a white bikini top with red bows and a red bikini bottom with Minnie signature on my butt. Ty Loved it when we matched.
"She's asleep already" Sue asked as she sat next to me.
"Yeah she's tired, she'll be up soon though." I told her
Sue looked at me and gave me a sad smile, she looked like she didn't want to tell me something. My heart sped up I knew what she was going to tell me. He was here, I felt my stomach start to knot.
"Some of the boys are here and they are about to start setting everything up. So, Billy and Jake will be here soon. Leah and Emily are already here as well." She told me.
I looked down to my daughter and my eyes started to water. I didn't want to do this, I couldn't. My chest hurt. I tried to blink away the tears. I couldn't break down.
Sue put her arm around me "everything will be fine; Charlie and I are here for you. We love you both" Sue whispered while she kept hugging me. "He will understand, the second he sees her he will love her so much that he will listen". Sue was so amazing. I turned to her and hugged her, I wanted to show her how much I needed to hear that.
"I'm going to go take a quick dip before Ty gets up" I told sue "can you please watch her?" I asked.
"Of course, hunny" Sue replied back.
I stood up and headed towards the water, I wanted to swim a little. I couldn't go in too deep when I had Ty. So, I wanted to take advantage and go a little further out. I needed to clear my mind before I face him.
The ocean was pretty calm, it felt amazing. I used to hate the beach, the sun, the sand all of it, but Ty loves it, just like her dad. I looked in the direction of where Ty and Sue were, I saw that Charlie was back and it looked like he was leaning over Ty. She was probably waking up. Damn it, I hurriedly swam back but I saw Seth and Leah walking my way. No, crap I needed to get to Ty. As I was just getting out, Leah and Seth were about to reach me, and that's when I heard Ty scream for me. When I looked up to her, I saw that she was running my way with a big smile. My heart dropped, not only because I'm sure everyone heard her but because I felt his eyes on me.
"Mommy!" Ty screamed again, and when she did, I looked up towards where Jake and Billy were. But he wasn't looking my way, his eyes were on the little girl who was running my way. When she reached me, she jumped up, so I could catch her, and I couldn't help but hug her to me. The need to run away and hide her from everyone was so strong that I had to keep repeating over and over again that this was the right thing to so. She deserved a family.
Time seemed to stand still, Leah and Seth stopped walking towards me when they heard Ty scream. I looked over to them and they just stared at her. Ty must have felt the staring because she turned around and looked at them, she gave them a big smile and squirmed, so I could put her down. She then ran to Leah and hugged her legs then went to Seth and did the same. They looked shocked there wasn't any other word for it.
"Hi Auntie Leah and uncle Seth" she screamed as she started to jump up and down. She turned around to look at me, then ran back so she could drag me over to them. Leah crouched down and hugged Ty.
"How do you know my name pretty girl" Leah said in a friendly voice.
"My mommy told me it long time ago, I have all the pictures of my family" Ty replied in an excited voice.
Leah just stared at her and hugged her again, Leah looked at me and I saw tears in her eyes. She looked hurt and worried.
"Hey Ty, I'm sure uncle Seth wants a hug too." I told her. She immediately let go and jumped up, so Seth could catch her. He held her and was telling her how excited he was to meet her. I looked at Leah and she mouthed the word "Jake" and I nodded at her. She paled and then looked at Seth who was squeezing Ty while she laughed and squealed. I felt those eyes on me and I couldn't for the life of me look over to him.
"Mama, grandpa is here. He said he wanted the biggest hug today. I promised, and I have to keep promises right mama? Ty asked as she wiggled to get down from Seth's arms.
"I could see him, right there" she pointed to where Billy and Jake were at. I still couldn't look over there. My eyes were filling up with tears, and my chest felt like there was something crushing it. I looked to Leah and I knew she understood what was happening. She looked down to Ty and smiled at her.
"If you promised Ty, then you need to go and do it" Leah said in an exaggerated voice. Ty smiled and ran off in the direction of where Jake was. Where she was finally going to meet her dad.
