First and foremost this is the original story before I started to rewrite it... and got stuck in the writing of the rewrite. If you are following the rewrite you will notice quite glaring differences between this and the one you have already started following. I do not intend on giving up with the rewritten version, however, I think you guys waiting for me to get over my blank slate of a muse isn't going to happen any time soon. So I am re-posting the original. This was my first completed story and it is very different from how my last stories flow.

Secondly, this is not beta'ed. NOT AT ALL. There will be mistakes in spelling (I'm Australian and some words we spell differently). The layout will honestly have you wondering what the hell I was thinking. I wasn't; well that's not true. What I was thinking was that I knew what I was doing and screw anyone else... yes I was a conceited little shit even at the age of 31.

Thirdly, there are 68 chapters to this story, including the epilogue and two outtakes. All of which have been uploaded to my profile I will try to upload as often as I can. Please understand that I have a busy life in the real world. This includes two children, one grown and the other with disabilities. So while I should be able to update wherever I am, if something happens please understand that I will miss updating.

Last but not least. I am not SM. Not even close. I do not own the franchise, work in any capacity with the publishing houses or studios. I merely escaped from reality to play with some characters that I fell in love with while reading four books in a matter of days.

It's been nearly a week since we found the house had been damaged and we had our first fight, though I'd say it was more of a major miscommunication. Regardless, we had learnt from it in the most interesting ways, like after you get over the sudden disappearance, and the shutting out of your own room, the make-up sex is beyond amazing. Everyone still asked what had happened to cause the fight to begin with, and while we did talk about telling everyone so it didn't bring up any more problems we came to the same result. There was no use in telling everyone that we were moving out until we had fixed the house and turned it into our home. We still hadn't heard from the police any news about who broke into the house and that alone put Jazz under a lot of stress. He wouldn't let me and Junior go back to the property unless he was with us in case someone was there at the same time, but he also couldn't skip out on work now that he wanted to get everything back in order.

However, as much as I loved that man he did need to realize that I wasn't going to be going out to the property unless he was with me. He was under a lot of stress as it was, covering half of Emmett's shifts as he and Rose had taken a vacation for the next 2 weeks. Demetri still hadn't found someone to fill the position properly after Alec or whatever his name was, was fired those few months ago so it was like he was working two jobs with all the extra work he was doing. So when he came home there was no way I was going to be pushing him to go back to the house when all he needed was rest and to relax. He was taking it all in stride but when he fell asleep and skipped dinner, we knew he was beyond exhausted.

"Bella; Eleazar, and Carmen would like to speak to you." My new assistant called through the intercom, it was strange to have a male assistant, but Garrett was doing a great job, and took all the little jokes as they were. He even played on the stereotypes a little with the open flirting and "If you weren't a taken woman I'd be making my moves," comments that had all the single women lining up at his desk to throw their panties at him. It was a pity that none of them had a snowballs chance in hell at landing that man.

I begrudgingly left my comfortable chair that I still had even after I had given birth to Junior, it was comfortable, and if I could, I'd sleep in the thing too. Locking up my laptop so no one could hack into my system, and change the pre-approved column that I had set aside for the week, I made my way to the elevators ruffling Garrett's perfectly styled hair just to annoy him. It wasn't something that I would say was a good thing being called into the owners offices but so far I hadn't stepped a foot out of line even with the foundation going fairly well with the quiet backer s that we had.

"Bella dear how are you?" Carmen asked as she looked up when their assistant opened the door for me.

"Tired but happy, what can I do for you today?" I asked as I sat down on the chair that was set up in front of the two tables that they sat.

"Nothing' wrong per-say; but we had just wanted to check up on how you were, if you needed something, anything with your busy schedule." Eleazar asked, as he looked over his paperwork that he had been concentrating on since I walked into the room.

"No; everything's going good at home. Junior is teething but that's to be expected since he's growing so fast." Which is true for a little boy of 8 months he was doing amazingly well and developing so rapid that I was astonished that this little boy was in my womb a year ago?

"We know that you have been super busy and everything but we have been asked if you would consider an interview with People Magazine. It would be great publicity for your work here and the station; as well as your foundation for young mothers." Carmen asked walking around the desk towards me. Eleazar was smiling at me the whole time.

"Um, I know it's a great thing and all but the foundation isn't just mine. Rose, Alice, and Char are behind the success of that too." I really couldn't take all the credit for the how well the foundation is going.

"Of course Bella, but this will help you gain more awareness for the work you are doing with the girls. And who knows, maybe you'll be able to gain some more backers for the foundation." Eleazar seemed so giddy with anticipation.

I felt like some prized cattle that he was using to get all the other farmers jealous with, it didn't go unnoticed that Carmen was shooting him dirty looks from beside me. She at least saw what we were doing as a positive thing, and left it at that, she didn't try to use our hard work for her personal gain.

"Bella, do what you think is best. This will have no consequences attached. You are a new mum, and all the work you put in both with your advice and your amazing work that you girls do at the foundation is mind boggling to say the least. Speak to the other girls and see what they think; if they don't mind you mentioning it, and their names then go for it, if not you can always put a sensor on what you discuss." She smiled at me and I was grateful that see was such a down to earth kind of woman. There weren't many out there these days. As I left the office after the meeting I heard them arguing, Eleazar about how I could raise the revenue that the paper was making, and Carmen about how my family and what I think should be first priority.

"Garrett, from now on if I'm called up there can you make some excuses about me being busy, at least until Rose comes back." I asked him as I passed his desk. He gave me a very sympathetic nod, but cheered up within seconds.

"You know you have a very cute visitor in your office. Blond curls, bright blue eyes. I'm surprised you don't have to fight the girls in the office for him." His grin showed me he was half joking and he had succeeded in making me smile. As I opened the door there he was, his blonde curls and piercing blue eyes that had me the minute I saw them.

"Hey pop's and little man." I cooed as I reached Felix and Junior kissing them both on the cheek. Both had smiles on their faces, clearly liking the idea of surprising me in the way of their unannounced visit.

"What are you doing for the rest of the day sweetie?" Pa asked as we sat down around the desk while Junior played on the floor mat that I always kept in my office.

"Nothing, I've just got to wait for the okay of this week's two columns and then I'm free. What have you got planned pa?" I was interested in what he was thinking, more specifically what he had planned. The glint in his eyes made me wonder what I was setting myself up for.

"Well sweetie, how about you and I go out and we can just have lunch; then go from there." You know you can see the charm that both Jasper and Peter eluded from their father.

While I quickly get the approval for the columns Felix packed Junior up once more so we could head out and start our little adventure. After a quick good bye and telling Garrett that he needs to take the rest of the day off for making me smile we made our way towards the exit, and almost made it until Angela came over for her little hit of Junior as she called it. We headed towards the little cafe down the road, which cooked the best burgers in the area as far as I was concerned. They held nothing against Momma's burgers but hey, we can't always be at the house to have one.

"So Pa what brings you two down to my office today?" I asked after we had finished our lunch and Junior had fallen asleep.

"Well I think I've stumbled into something that I shouldn't have and I need some advice on how to handle it." Now Pa had always seemed to be one of these kinds of people who kept things to themselves and were able to sort things out without help. Needless to say, I was both worried about what had happened and what he needed help; as well as intrigued by why he thinks he needed to come to me for advice. I was great with advice with my work, but Pa was being secretive about something and I wanted to know what it was.

"I overheard something the other day and did a little checking into things for myself. Now when were you and my son going to tell me that you had bought a property?" why that cheeky old man.

How did he hear us when we were talking about the house? We always made sure that no one was around when we started talking about it. I must have looked like a fish out of water with how my mouth kept opening and closing. It took me all of 5 minutes to gain some sort of control over my face and speech abilities.

"How; when did you find out about it?" I asked; I didn't see the point of denying it since I sat there for 5 minutes trying to gain control over my abilities. He looked a little sheepish for talking about something that he knew he shouldn't have heard.

"Well, yesterday when you two came over for a visit with this little one, Jane had gone inside to settle JJ down and I went inside to get us all some drinks. You were talking about wondering when you were going to hear from the police that there got my attention alone; but when you mentioned that the house really didn't need so much work I sorta put two and two together." He rubbed the back of his neck as he met my eyes. I had to laugh he seemed like the little school kid that got in trouble and was sent to the principal's office.

"Now listen her little woman, just because you caught me out on listening in on something I shouldn't, you still need to answer my question. Why haven't you two told us you got your own place?" and just like that I felt like I was the one that was caught with their hand stuck in the cookie jar. I sat there under his stare making me feel even guiltier for keeping something from everyone, though at least he hadn't heard us talk about the wedding or any of the details. That was hard enough.

"Um... well... it's like this Pa. We wanted to make sure that everything was ready for us to move in before we told anyone, and well there has been something that came up which has put a little bit of an issue before we could start on everything we wanted to do. We can't get started until something's have been sorted and everything. Please Pa you can't tell anyone. I'll tell Jasper that you know but please Pa we want to tell everyone when it's ready to be seen." Once I had started talking, I just couldn't stop, but as I told him some details he began to worry. It was written all over his face that while he liked being in on the secret he didn't like not knowing all the details.

"What happened for the police to be involved Bella? And does this have to do with your disagreement the two of you had last week?" you know for an old man he was smart.

I was biting my lip, not sure how much to tell him in case he told Momma, and while she was good at helping out sneaky plans, this was something I know she wouldn't keep to herself. Jasper was her youngest child, and Junior her only grandchild.

"Well it was broken into that day, and someone spray painted the walls. The police were called and we're waiting on the go ahead so we can fix the place up. We don't want to do anything until we know that it won't happen again. And yeah it was why we had that fight the other day." I was somewhat relieved that someone else knew what was going on. He sat there just taking in all that I told him, not judging the fact that we hadn't told him from the beginning that we were planning to move out of Peter and Char's place.
