Here's the second chapter I hope you like it.

Chapter 2

Monday morning my alarm went off at five thirty. I struggled to untangle myself from the blankets without disturbing Anna. Unfortunately by the time I had turned the alarm off both little girls were awake, and crying. By the time I had gotten both of them calmed down I was hoping I had enough time to get the three of us ready for my first day of Forks High.

I was not looking forward to school, for two reasons. First, I would be the new kid, and second, I would be the new kid that has to take her cousins to school with her.

Anna tried to go back to sleep as I got Cissy ready. She was unsuccessful. I helped her get dress and brushed her hair before getting ready myself. I had to make two trips downstairs. I dropped Anna off in the kitchen and gave Cissy to Charlie before going back upstairs.

I grabbed Anna's little backpack and made sure she had stuff to occupy her time. I put a coloring book in and a package of crayons, and her little picture book. Not wanting to make her bag to heavy I put another coloring book in my backpack, and a few other picture books too. I made sure my binder had extra blank sheets of paper for her. Lastly I went through her memory game and picked out six pairs and put them in a plastic bag, before adding them to my bag.

With Anna's stuff ready I turned to the diaper bag. There would be no way for me to carry Cissy, my backpack, and the diaper bag around all day, so I decided I'd just put everything in my bag. I went through the diaper bag and put what I would need for Cissy in my bag. I took my bag and Anna's downstairs and set them by the door.

I entered the kitchen and too my surprise Charlie was making Cissy's bottle. He gave me a fake hurt look. "It may have been a while back but I have taken care of a baby before, Bells."

I ruffled Anna's curls as a passed; I stopped beside Charlie and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "That makes my life easier."

He chuckled and handed me Cissy. "I've got to get to the station. Have a good day at school; and if anyone gives you trouble about having the girls there, call me."

I shook my head as he grabbed his coat and unlocked the drawer he had locked his gun in. He would reload it in the car.

Anna ate her cereal while I fed Cissy her bottle. I grabbed a package of poptarts, but I didn't bother sticking them in the toaster. I was running short on time, and I had to stop by the office to get my schedule.

I didn't bother washing the dishes, I would do them after school. I quickly brushed my teeth, then helped Anna brush hers. We hurried down the stairs, well actually, Anna hurried down the stairs. I don't dare go down the stairs any faster than walking when I'm caring Cissy.

I buckled Cissy into her seat, put my backpack on and handed Anna hers. I picked up Cissy's carrier and we left.

I set my bag in the passenger seat. Once I was buckled, I double checked my mirrors and started the car. I turned the CD player on and soft piano music filled the car. The recording was nothing like listening to the real deal but it was the best we were ever going to get again. Toby was the one playing on the CD. It pained me to listen to his playing since he would never play again, but I knew the music was helpful for Anna. I ignored it the best that I could, while I looked for Forks High.

It wasn't very hard to find the school, thanks to the sign. Personally I never would have thought it was a high school without the sign. It looked like a group of buildings, not like any school I knew. I found a parking spot outside of the main office. I doubted it was student parking, but I didn't want to have to go park and carry Cissy more than I would have to. I could handle getting her in and out of the car multiple times.

I unbuckled Anna and took her hand while we walked around the car. I decided to make my life a little bit easier and just take Cissy out of her seat, that way I could just buckle her back in and not the seat.

We walked inside the office, Anna walking beside me, her hand resting against my leg since I couldn't hold her hand, while I carried Cissy. We stepped up to the desk where a large red haired woman wearing glasses was working on the computer. She stopped working and glanced at us.

"Oh," she said taking in the baby I was holding.

I took a deep breath and decided to get it over with. "Hi, I'm Isabella Swan, I've come to get my schedule."

"Oh, Of course," the woman spoke with a confused tone. No doubt she didn't understand why I was carrying a baby. "Nice to meet you, I'm Ms. Cope. Here's your schedule and here's a map of the school. You'll need to have your teachers sign this slip and bring it back here after school." She helped me find the best routes to my classes before sending me out with a good luck.

Back outside I buckled in the girls and then myself. Most of the student body had arrived it seemed, and most of them were in the student parking lot watching me pull into an empty spot. Obviously they didn't recognize my car and were wanting to see the new girl.

I had known that my car would stick out like a sore thumb here in Forks. After the incident, Carlos had suggested I take Toby's car. The girls were used to the car, and it just happened to be incredibly sturdy. It was a newer car but it was built like the older ones. The ones that would be found at the scene of accidents, with a few scratches while pieces of foreign cars littered the road.

With a quick glance I found that my car would be considered the second best in the lot. The best car being a shiny silver Volvo.

I tried my best to ignore the curious looks of the other students as I climbed out of the car. I could feel my face reddening as I opened the door behind mine and helped Anna out of the car. I helped her put her backpack on then took her hand in mine. The whispers started as we walked around the back of the car and headed to the passenger side doors.

I opened the front door and put my backpack on.

The next time the student body saw me I was carrying Cissy in her seat with Anna walking beside me; her little hand once again pressed against me leg.

My blush came back when I heard the whispering. Today was going to be a long day.

Every hall we walk down there were people who would stare. By the time we got to my English class in building three I was silently hyperventilating.

I went to the teacher's desk and handed him the slip he needed to sign. He glanced at Anna and Cissy then took my slip. While he signed it, I got out the note from Anna's doctor explaining what happened. It was the only way I was able to take the two little girls to school with me. To my surprise he knelt down in front of Anna and smiled at her. He introduced himself as Mr. Mason. He handed me the slip and directed me to take a seat at the back of the class.

I sat in the back corner, which worked out real well. I could set Cissy's carrier beside my desk and not worry about her being in anyone's way. Anna grabbed her coloring book out of her bag and sat on my lap. I got out my notebook and waited for class to begin.

Class was boring, I had already read all the books on the reading list and the one we were working on right now just happened to be my favorite; Wuthering Heights. I ended up spending most of my time pretending to pay attention while I colored with Anna.

As I was packing up after class a boy with black hair and an acne problem came up to us.

"Hey, you're Isabella Swan, aren't you?"

"Bella," I corrected him. He glanced at Anna who was still in my lap and I sighed. I quickly introduced her and Cissy to him.

"I'm Eric," He told us, sparing Anna a small smile. I was glad when he chose to ignore the obvious question and asked me what me next class was. When I told him he offered to walk me there. I nodded and he led the way. I don't know if he was nervous or if he thought better of it, but he decided not to ask if he could carry Cissy, something I was glad about.

It didn't take me very long to start recognizing faces of the students I had in my other classes. By lunch time I had talked to enough of the braver students to be sure that the girls and I had been talked about throughout the entire school. Everyone had heard about us, and to be honest, that scared me. My biggest problem had to be how much Anna looked like me. I was already being called all kind of foul names, thanks to the fact the kids all thought the little girls were mine. Why couldn't they just mind their own business, what was the point of the hurtful gossip?

Lunch seemed to be the worst part of my day. I hadn't thought about how I was going to carry everything. I got in line feeling who knows how many pairs of eyes watching me. Why didn't I pack a lunch, it would have made my day easier.

Anna pulled on my top and I looked down. She stood on her tiptoes and tried to see the food, then turned and reached her arms up.

I blanched, there was no way I could carry her and Cissy, even for a little while so Anna could see what food there was.

"Would you like some help?" a soft voice asked from behind me.

I turned and came face to face with a smile.

"Hi, I'm Angela," she said kindly. "Would you like some help?" Her light brown eyes which matched her hair perfectly crinkled with her smile.

I nodded. "Thanks Angela, I'm Bella, and that's Anna."

Angela picked Anna up and settled her on her hip. She grabbed a tray for me and we made our way through the line. "What would you like to eat Anna?"

Anna made a face and glared at Angela.

Angela glanced at me and I blushed. "Sorry about that, that was my fault. Anna's full name is Annabelle, and I forgot that she doesn't like people beside her dad and me to call her Anna. She prefers Belle or little Belle, as the family calls her."

Angela nodded in understanding. "I'm sorry, what would you like to eat little Belle?"

Anna smiled at Angela then pointed at a banana.

"She loves fruit," I told her."

Angela nodded. She grabbed a banana for Anna, while I grabbed stuff for me to eat. Once Anna knew she would get a banana she pointed to other stuff she would like.

We stopped at the cash register and I paid for the food. Angela set Anna down and carried the tray to the table she and her friends were sitting at.

All eyes turned to me as I set Cissy's carrier down then sat down. Anna climbed into my lap and smiled sweetly at the group. My face flushed as everyone around the table took in the similarities Anna and I shared.

Angela introduced me to her friends then I introduced Anna and Cissy. I remembered this time to tell them to call Anna, Belle.

I fixed Cissy her bottle and while I waited for it to warm I peeled Anna's banana. I tried to ignore the looks from the other people at the table. I could tell they all wanted to ask me questions. I really didn't feel like getting interrogated though.

"Here Belle, you can have your very own chair." A boy, I want to say was named Ben pulled a chair up to the table between Angela and me. I mouthed a thank you to him.

Anna grinned at Ben before she climbed onto the chair.

I picked at my lunch until Cissy's bottle warmer dinged letting me know it was the right temperature.

Anna eagerly pulled on my shirt then reached her wrist out towards me. I shook my head and chuckled but let her test to see if milk wasn't too hot. She grinned at me to show that it was the perfect temperature.

I put the bottle in a sleeve that would keep the milk from cooling down thanks to my cold hands. I picked Cissy up and gave her her bottle.

"So, Bella," A girl who I thought was named Lauren, spoke slowly, "how long did the school give you to get a baby sitter for your daughters?"

I sighed. "Anna and Cissy aren't mine." Lauren, and most of the other people at the table scoffed at me."

"Yeah right, like that's true." Another girl who I want to say was named Jessica added.

"She's obvious yours, she looks just like you. You might as well not lie, we all can see the truth." Lauren stuck her nose in the air superiorly.

Angela caught my attention and I turned to her. She mouth 'I'm sorry' to me.

I gave her an understanding smile so she would know that I didn't blame her. Turning back to Lauren I tried to keep a hold on my temper. "Anna would you get my wallet out of my bag?" Anna got off her chair and rummaged around in my bag until she found the worn out wallet.

"Could you get your family's picture out for me?" I asked when she had set it on the table. Once again she did what I asked she took it out and handed it to Lauren without needing to be told who to give it too.

Lauren took the picture, and no matter how badly she didn't want to believe it, she couldn't deny what she saw.

"That's my cousins Toby and his wife Tessa." Anna may look like me, but after seeing her parents you would know she wasn't mine. We shared hair color, even eye color, we even had the same nose; courtesy of Toby's and my grandmother. But these were all things she shared with her dad. Looking at the picture Lauren and anyone else, would see that Anna's face, was Tessa's.

Lauren tossed the picture back on the table. "So you cousin just decided to let you take the kids to school today?"

I shook my head, not really wanting to explain but knowing I had to. "Toby and Tessa left me in charge of the girls in their wills. My dad has temporary custody until I turn eighteen."

"Oh, what happened?" Angela cried before realizing what she had asked. "You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to," she added.

I shrugged. I couldn't tell them what really happened but I could tell them the story that was made up for the news. "A gas leak met a spark, and that's the end of the story."

No one spoke, and for that I was glad. I was surprised at the sympathetic looks I got from everyone at the table; that included Lauren and Jessica.

A tug on my sleeve made me turn to Anna. She took my hand and I felt a sudden cold sensation slide down my back. There were vampires near. It took me a little while but I was able to distinguish five different sensations.

I glanced around the room searching for the vampires, but first I put up my shield around Anna, Cissy, and me. I doubted any of the vampires would try anything but I wasn't going to take a chance.

My eyes landed on a table in the corner, where five inhumanly beautiful creatures were sitting. Anna glanced at them with me; using her powers to get a feel for them. I waited patiently, but she wasn't getting a dangerous feeling from there. That didn't make any sense; just like Mr. and Mrs. Cullen, they didn't give of a sense of danger. Who were these vampires, and where was the danger that came with all vampires.

I turned to Angela. "Who are they?"

Angela glanced towards the vampires, but before she could answer Jessica spoke up.

"They are the Cullens and the Hales. They're Dr. Cullen and Mrs. Cullen's kids."

Seven vampires in one coven. That didn't make any sense. That was larger than the Volturi when you didn't count their guards.

"The one with dark curly hair and the large muscles is Emmett Cullen. The blonde girl beside him is Rosalie Hale. The blonde boy is her twin brother Jasper. The other girl is Alice Cullen, and the last guy is Edward Cullen." Jessica pointed each of them out for me.

I couldn't help but notice the soft sigh Jessica gave when she said Edward's name. I didn't get a chance to wonder about that though because at that moment I was suddenly staring into Edward's eyes. I couldn't help the blush that crept up my face, and I was glad when he looked away.

The five of them were like all vampires, inhumanly beautiful. The two girls were opposites. Rosalie was tall with a figure that made ever other girl take a hit on her self esteem. Her hair was golden and fell in gentle waves to the middle of her back. Alice though was short and pixie like; with her dark hair cut short, spiking in every direction.

The boys weren't as different. Emmett could easily be defined as the perfect weightlifter His dark curls were as much as a contrast to Jasper's honey blonde hair, as Alice's hair was to Rosalie's. Jasper was tall and lean but still looked muscular, beside Emmett. Edward on the other hand looked lanky beside his huge brother.

I found it difficult to look away from Edward, he looked more boyish than the others. His unnatural bronze colored hair was untidy, but it didn't take away from the fact he was definitely the most handsome man I had ever seen.

I would have thought that I would get used to vampires and their inhuman beauty but clearly I was wrong.

Lauren chuckled across from me. "I'd stop staring if I were you. Emmett and Rosalie, are an item and so are Jasper and Alice."

"And none of the girls here are good looking enough for Edward, so don't waste your time." Jessica added.

I could hear the bitterness in her voice. I wondered when he turned her down. I glanced back at the table and had to fight back a smile, Edward had clearly heard Jessica's bitterness too, because I was sure he was smiling.

I turned to Jessica deciding to get some information on the Cullens. I knew it would be pointless to ask Angela; Jessica would just answer my questions before she could. "How long have they lived here?" I knew vampires wouldn't be able to stay in one place for too long.

Jessica eagerly answered my question. "They moved down here from Alaska two years ago."

I was going to ask more but Anna set her hand on mine. I felt a strange since of danger, but it wasn't coming from the Cullen's table. The strange sensation was coming from Lauren's and Jessica's direction, and it was nowhere near as strong as the danger sensations we normally got.

I glanced down at Anna and she shook her head subtly. I knew my line of questioning was over. So I started thinking about the questions I couldn't answer, let alone ask. Whoever these vampires were they were more controlled than most vampires. I couldn't believe the five of them were sitting in a school cafeteria filled with humans when their eyes were pitched black. It looked as if they hadn't been hunting in a while. My biggest question would be how long was that while.

I was going to have to be careful around them, hopefully I didn't have any of them in my last two classes. It would be just my luck if I ended up being one of their singer. I wasn't going to let myself find out the hard way. With how black their eyes were, I couldn't trust their self control, especially if my blood does sing for one of them. I tried to shake that thought out of my mind, it's not like they could hurt me with my shield up, and they shouldn't be affected by my blood either.

I glanced back at the Cullen table a few more times before the bell announced the end of lunch. While I took care of Cissy and Anna, I would steal a glance. One time when I looked up I was met with Edward's coal like eyes. I puzzled over the strange look in his eyes. For reasons unknown to me he seemed frustrated; it was like he was dealing with the unexpected.

It hit me with a force of a wrecking ball. Edward must have some sort of power and it wasn't working. I looked away and hid behind my hair. How dare he try to use a power against me. What was he trying to do anyway? I didn't look up after that.

I gathered up my stuff and with Cissy back in her seat Anna and I headed to the bathroom. We just made it to class after we had finished in the bathroom. I mentally made a note to give us more time tomorrow.

Mr. Banner signed my slip and gave me my text book before pointing to the only empty seat in the class. Anna had to push me towards the table we would be sharing with Edward Cullen. I hope he didn't notice my hesitation, but I'm sure he did.

I set Cissy's carrier down beside the desk and took my seat, pulling Anna up onto my lap. I glanced at Edward out of the corner of my eye and noticed the frustrated look on his face. I blushed and was forced to look away, that way I wouldn't get mad.

Mr. Banner lecture for fifteen minutes before he sent us off to read a chapter in our text books. I opened mine and turned to the chapter wanting to make sure I wouldn't have homework in this class.

Anna turned in her seat and pressed her little hand against my cheek. I knew she was trying to calm me down. She didn't know any better because of her age; since she wasn't getting any dangerous sensations from the vampires, she was comfortable around them. I didn't know why there wasn't any danger coming off them, but that didn't mean I was going to trust them so easily.

"Hello," A velvety voice that could only belong to a vampire said. "My name is Edward Cullen. You must be Bella swan?"

I blinked and looked up at him. "How do you know my name?"

He laughed, making a sound that sounded like music. "Oh, I'm sure everyone here knows your name. The entire town has been waiting for your arrival."

"No, I mean why did you call me Bella?" I knew why, it was quite clear. He had made a slip, he only would have known to call me Bella if he had been eavesdropping; something vampires can do easily. Sometimes without realizing it, the little voice in my head reminded me.

"Do you prefer Isabella?" He asked giving me a confused look.

I couldn't help shaking my head. "To formal, I like Bella better; but I'm pretty sure my dad calls me Isabella behind my back."

Anna pulled on my shirt and I gave her my undivided attention. She crossed her arms over her chest and humphed. I giggled quietly before introducing her. "This is my younger cousin Annabelle. You can call her Belle."

Edward tilted his head to the side staring at us thoughtfully. "Belle and Bella, that's easy enough to remember. What is the little one's name?"

I glanced down at Cissy who was being surprisingly good. "Her name is Cissy, Anna here wanted everyone to call her sissy, Cissy; so my cousin named her Cissiley."

"You all have beautiful names."

I couldn't help the blush. "Thank you." I tried to go back to reading the chapter but Anna saw the pictures and had to look at them; basically it made reading hard. At one point I was sure I heard Edward chuckling. Eventually Anna got bored waiting for me to flip the page so she started looking at the pictures on the pages before this chapter. She'd grab a page turning it so she could see the picture and I'd have to hold it up so I could still read the chapter. I had to constantly turn my head to face Edward's side of the desk, then back to mine. To make the matter worse, the number of pages I was holding was growing.

I'm certain I heard Edward laugh beside me.

By the time I had finished the chapter I had just enough time to pack up everything before the bell rang.

"What class do you have next?" Edward asked politely.

I glanced at him from where I was helping Anna put on her backpack. "Gym."

He nodded slightly, I got the feeling he enjoyed the class as much as I do. I was not looking forward to it. "Would you like me to show you the way?"

"I think I can find it," I told him. Truthfully I was sure I could. How hard could it be to find the gym?

"I'm heading to gym, you could follow me." A boy with a baby face and gel spiked blonde hair said as he stepped up beside me.

I glanced at Edward and was surprised to see him glaring at the boy. The boy didn't wait for my answer.

"I'm Mike, cute kids." He took Anna's hand and placed his other on my back; pushing me towards the door.

Anna panicked, her cries startled Mr. Banner and the few students still in the class room. Great, what was I going to do know? I needed to comfort Anna but there was no way I could carry her and Cissy at the same time.

"What did I do?" Mike asked me. He didn't have a clue.

"Come on Anna, let's go; I'll be able to hold you once we get to the gym. Anna wrapped her arms around my leg and cried harder.

"I could carry Cissy if you would like me to; then you could carry Belle." Edward offered, even though I'm sure he knew I would say no.

What a gentlemen. I didn't have time to think about where that thought came from.

Anna answered for me by shaking her head. She pulled away, tugging on my jeans telling me she was ready to leave.

"Thanks, but we'll be okay." I let Anna led me out of the biology class and then we let the annoying boy named Mike lead the way to gym. There the coach signed my slip and found me a uniform, thankfully I didn't have to dress down today.

I spent the class period watching volleyball games, dreading the pain I would cause myself and others tomorrow no doubt. I simply didn't have the necessary hand I coordination to play sports.

I sat on the bleacher and rocked Anna in my arms. I was mad but knew I had no right to be. It's not like Mike could have known Anna would react like that. He wouldn't know that it was too much like that night.

When class ended I carried Cissy and Anna and I made our way to the main office. We walked down the path ignoring the whispers and stares. We walked passed the student parking lot and my eyes landed on the Cullens and the Hales, standing beside the shiny silver Volvo; of course they would be the ones who own that car.

I felt all their eyes on us as we got closer to their car. I spared them a glance and was actually surprised at what I saw. Edward, had his frustrated look on, but so did Jasper, and Alice. Emmett was smiling at me, he even waved; while Rosalie gave me a look of, support. She smiled at Anna in a way that could only be described as a smile that a mother would give a daughter. Rosalie must love children.

I focused on Rosalie and Emmett's looks. I didn't want to think about the other three's. I had come to the conclusion that Edward's look of frustration was most likely because he couldn't use his powers on me; if that was true then it would seem that Jasper and Alice also had powers. Of course I guess I could be totally wrong and they didn't have powers, but then what would the frustrated look be about. I couldn't have already done something to anger them. Unless they had already been affected by my blood before I had put up my shield. If that was true, then they were most likely trying to figure out how I was blocking the sweet smell of my blood from them.

We dropped my slip off with Ms. Cope, leaving the office quickly so we could get home. I climbed into the driver's seat after buckling the girls in. Most of the student body had already left, so I was surprised to see that the Cullens and Hales were still there, standing beside their car; watching me.

Author's note

I enjoyed writing this chapter, but oddly enough when I first wrote it I had someone else offer to help Bella with Anna and Cissy during lunch. Any guesses who I had originally had helping her? I hope you guys like this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Bye,
