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

Chapter 4

The rest of the week went surprisingly well. After deciding to use my phone as my alarm, I was able to lay it beside me in the bed. Every day it went off at five thirty, vibrating against my side. It successfully woke me up, but it didn't wake the girls. After getting myself completely ready for school, I would then pack up the car.

I woke Anna first and got her ready, before waking Cissy. They'd have breakfast, and I would actually have time to sit and read. After finishing our morning routine, we were out the door with plenty of time to get to school. I was glad that I never once had to park next to the shiny silver Volvo again.

School was slowly starting to turn into a more normal routine. Classes were the same, and thanks to Anna, Cissy spends most of her time, content and comfortable in her seat. The whispers still follow the three of us around, and now everyone knew why I haven't put the girls in daycare. The Cullens still stare at us, and they still wait in the parking lot for us before and after school. Edward greets us every day in biology and would try to have a conversation with me. So far we've only talked about trivial things; I think he knows I don't want him to ask me questions about my life.

PE has definitely changed. Wednesday, we were met outside the girl's locker room, by Coach Clapp, and his wife. Mrs. Clapp greeted us kindly, and handed Anna a grocery bag, containing her own PE uniform. Anna excitedly squealed and hugged the woman before dragging me in to the locker room. I was glad Mrs. Clapp had offered to carry Cissy, because I surely would have dropped the carrier.

Anna now joined me eagerly in the class, and everyone loved playing with her. We were still playing volleyball, and Coach had come up with the idea of letting Anna serve for me. Really what would happen is I would hold the ball for her and she would hit it with her little first. Someone else on the team would then hit the ball over the net.

We were all mindful of where Anna was on the court though, not wanting her to get hurt. It was nice of the other students though to let her play. Mike and a couple of the other students would bat the ball around until Anna was able to hit it without it hurting her.

All in all school was turning out much better than I thought it would; despite having vampires there.

Saturday came around finally, and I enjoyed sleeping in; as much as I could. Cissy woke me up around eight but before I could go back to bed, after caring for her, Anna was up. Now here I was resting on the couch, waiting for the three year old to tell me it was time to go.

Little hands tapped my forehead, and I opened my eyes. Anna grinned at me, handing me my purse. I closed my eyes and groaned getting up off the couch. Today we were supposed to go clothes shopping, something I was not going to enjoy.

Anna started pulling on my sleeve, demanding I get up. I got up and once we all were ready to go we drove to the closest mall.

I got Cissy and Anna's stroller out of the trunk, thankful that I would be pushing them today; there would be no way I could shop while constantly holding Cissy. I fastened Cissy's seat into the stroller, smiling at the happy baby. I leaned down and kissed her cheek getting her to smile.

Anna sat down in her seat at the front of the stroller and I fastened her in. She of course would only stay in the stroller while we were walking through the mall. She'd want to be able to walk beside me in the stores. Pushing the stroller was so much nicer than having to carry Cissy in her carrier.

We started off our shopping, looking for clothes for me. I wasn't a picky shopper so I found a couple pairs of jeans and some long sleeve t-shirts that I liked pretty quickly. I was looking at sweaters when Anna wrapped her arms around my leg. I set my hand on her head comfortingly. "What it is Anna?"

Anna took my hand; her powers alerted me to five vampires. I recognized Edward's vampire sensation instantly, since I sat next to him for an hour of every school day. The other four sensations I was sure were his siblings. Great, now we would have to avoid them, today. Could I not get a break?

Kneeling beside Anna, I gave her a serious look. "I need you to warn me if they get close okay? Can you do that for me?"

Anna nodded her head, her bouncing curls made me laugh. 'Good, thank you Anna."

I took the crystal ring box from my purse and put the ring on.

Anna pulled me from my thoughts by pointing to clothes she wanted me to try on. I sighed but grabbed them; I could humor her, for a little while.

The lady working in the dressing room was kind enough to let us have the biggest room. I tried on the clothes for Anna who eagerly judged how they looked on me. We decided together what to buy and made our way to the next store.

With my shopping, I now had five pairs of sturdy and thick jeans, long sleeved t-shirts, some dressier tops, and three new sweaters to add to the four I have at home.

Anna waved one of her gloves in the air while we walked through the mall. I found a place to stop that wouldn't be in anyone's way and moved to the front of the stroller.

"What is it Anna?"

Anna rubbed her belly which made a rumbly sound.

I laughed. "Alright, time for lunch."

We headed to the food court. It was ridiculously crowded with people. By the time we had our food and found a place to sit, I was ready to get out of there. Anna sensed my desperation and ate her food without her usual fanfare. I was glad Cissy was sleeping soundly at the moment. I would give her her bottle when she woke up, and we were away from the food court.

After lunch we set out to finish our shopping when we passed the kid's play place. I anticipated the glove before Anna had it in the air, waving it madly. "Alright Anna, we'll go, you can run off some energy before we continue shopping. I parked the stroller and let Anna out of her seat. I had to catch her jacket hood otherwise she would have ran on ahead without me.

"You have to wait for me and Cissy." I grabbed the diaper bag and unbuckled Cissy lifting her from her seat. "Okay, now we can go, but we have to walk," I added quickly.

Anna impatiently walked beside me. I found a spot to sit down where I could relatively see everything. Anna took her shoes off and ran. I watched her play while Cissy decided whether or not it was time to wake up. She gave up trying to sleep, and I got her bottle ready. I wasn't able to get it to her fast enough. She was no longer the happy baby she had been earlier.

Anna found a couple of kids her age she could play with, and I watched them play. A tear rolled down my cheek before I could stop it. Anna used to have cousins and friends she could play with. I bowed my head; thanks to me, we're all alone. I couldn't bring myself to stop Anna and her new friends. I waited until the other children had left before telling Anna we had to go.

"Did you have fun?" I asked, setting her in her seat.

Anna grinned, nodding her head excitedly.

I poked her nose. "Good, but now we have to go finish shopping and it's your turn to try things on. Her eyes lit up in excitement and she squealed. We headed for a children's clothing store, something where I could get baby clothes too.

Anna waved her glove in the air frantically.

"Okay Anna, just a second. I can't stop right here." I turned to the right in hope to find a place to stop so I can find out what's wrong; instead I walked in front of the problem.

Alice and Emmett Cullen, and the Hale twins (who I figured weren't really twins) walked out of the store and right in front of our stroller.

Alice grinned at me before waving. "Hi Bella."

I nodded to her and the others.

Rosalie pulled her glance away from Anna and walked up to me. "Hello, we haven't been formally introduced, but you know our brother Edward." When I nodded she continued. "My name is Rosalie, it is so nice to finally meet you." She offered her hand.

I glanced at her hand and mentally groaned; I had been avoiding touching one of them, they would surely notice my cool temperature. They would be sure to notice that I'm not as warm as the average human, and I couldn't let anyone know about me.

I didn't really have a choice, so I took her hand which was cool, but not uncomfortable. "It's nice to meet you Rosalie, I'm Bella."

Rosalie walked back to Emmett and wrapped her arm around one of his. If she had noticed my temperature she made a good show of ignoring it. "This is Emmett, my boyfriend."

I smiled, not really meaning to smile at him, but because I knew Emmett wasn't a mere boyfriend; he was Rosalie's mate. I knew the mating bond was much stronger than a simple boyfriend, especially since it was stronger than marriage vows. The bond between mates is permanent and, the loss of a mate is the worst pain a vampire could go through.

My family had made sure I knew everything about vampires. My mom had gone into a lengthy discussion about mates. I well understood the mating bond.

Rosalie nodded towards Jasper and Alice. "They are my brother Jasper, and my sister Alice."

Jasper tipped his head in my direction and Alice grinned. "It's nice to meet you Bella," she said.

"It's nice to meet you all too."

"So what brings you to the mall?" Alice glanced at our shopping bags.

The four vampires laughed so I can only assume Anna did something.

Alice squatted in front of her. "Are you shopping for clothes?"

I watched Alice, she smiled so Anna must have nodded her head.

"She's not like the normal shy kids," Emmett commented, looking towards me.

"Anna's not shy," I said without thinking.

He glanced at Anna. "Does she not know how to talk?" He laughed at that idea.

I shook my head. "She hasn't spoken a word since the accident." I mentally reprimanded myself after choking on the word accident; they noticed. According to the news the fire had been an accident, but I knew better.

All four of their faces softened, with sympathy.

"Well," I started with a sigh, "we need to be going, I still have to get the two of them clothes they can actually wear in Forks."

"Would you like some help?" Alice rocked back and forth onto her tiptoes excitedly.

No no no no no! I yelled silently in my head. I hadn't even wanted to run into any vampires today, I most certainly don't want to shop with them. "I can handle it, I wouldn't want to interrupt your own shopping."

"We just finished up our shopping." Rosalie spoke up, almost with as much enthusiasm as Alice.

Alice nodded, now bouncing slightly. "The guys can go put the stuff in the car and meet up with Edward while we shop for the three of you."

My hands came up and I stopped her there. "Oh no, I've already gotten my clothes. We just need to get stuff for Anna and Cissy."

Alice narrowed her eyes at the three bags all my stuff had fit into. Rosalie intervened; she pushed Emmett towards Jasper. "You two go ahead and take those out to the car. We'll call you when we're done shopping with Bella."

I'm not exactly sure how it happened, but we ended up shopping with Alice and Rosalie.

"I love all the cute little outfits." Alice said once we had found the store she was looking for.

"I know," Rosalie cooed.

Anna wiggled in my arms eagerly looking at all the clothes. She had never been in a store like this before, with such fancy clothes. She pointed at everything pink, and Alice would pick it up for her. By the time we got to the dressing room Alice and Rosalie's arms were filled with clothes all for Anna. The two of them put them in the dressing room, then shooed Anna and I into the dressing room.

It felt like we had been trying on clothes for hours, and we hadn't even gone through all of Alice's pile of clothes. I opened the door again to show Alice and Rosalie the next outfit. "Okay this is the last one we're trying on; I have to drive home tonight, and we still have to get clothes for Cissy."

Alice looked horrified. Rosalie reached out a comforting hand and spoke before she could. "Here, why don't you sit here with Alice, and I'll help Anna."

I found myself being forced to sit beside Alice, while Rosalie went in with Anna to the dressing room. Rosalie's eagerness to help Anna made the process go faster but there was still so many clothes we had to go through. I could feel my eyelids dropping, and it was becoming extremely difficult to keep them open.

A squeal beside me made me jump. My eyes found Anna who was wearing a pretty pink dress, and the first thing I noticed about it was how nice and warm it looked. It was a gorgeous sweater dress that fell just below the knee, made of nice thick wool.

"This is so precious!" Alice knelt beside Anna and fiddle with the dress, straightening it unnecessarily. "We are so getting this one."

I rubbed my eyes, trying to wake myself up. "That looks really nice on you Anna."

Anna grinned at me before following Rosalie back into the dressing room.

"Make sure you put that one in the pile of stuff we are going to buy." Alice called after Rosalie.

I took my phone out of my purse to check the time and gasped. It was six o clock. "Anna are you hungry?"

"She shook her head," Rosalie answered for her.

I didn't know why I bothered. Anna always forgot about food when she was shopping. She could go all day without even getting hungry, as long as she was shopping.

I shook my head to myself and waited for Anna to come out with more outfits. Alice eagerly commented on each outfit; rarely sending Anna and Rosalie back in without a word. I sat there getting bored with all the clothes, until I found my eyes falling again. I tried to busy myself with caring for Cissy, but she was already asleep, so there wasn't much to do.

Eventually the inevitable happened and I fell asleep again; only to be woken up by a squeal.

"Alice," a voice I recognized but couldn't place, spoke from somewhere close to me.

"Darlin' you need to try to contain your excitement." I glanced towards the new voice, one I also recognized; and found Jasper, Emmett, and Edward, sitting on the other couch outside the dressing rooms.

Jasper gave me a soft smile. "Sorry that she woke you," his southern drawl, made me realize he was the second voice I had heard.

I waved his concern away and returned his smile. I glanced at Alice who was sending Anna and Rosalie back into the dressing room. "How many more outfits Alice?"

She held up two fingers. "Only two left, then we can shop for Cissy."

I groaned mentally so she wouldn't hear me. I wished I could go start looking for Cissy, but even if Anna could be okay without me close by, there was no way on this earth I was leaving the two girls alone with the vampires. At least right now my shield was protecting them.

I glanced at the stroller to check on Cissy and panicked. I sat up straighter and whipped my head around in each direction.

Alice sat down beside me. "Calm down Bella, Emmett has Cissy."

At these words I turned and glanced at Emmett. He smiled at me then down at Cissy who was sound asleep in his arms. She was so tiny laying in his huge arms that I had missed her, when I had glanced at the guys.

"He gave her her bottle about a half hour ago," Alice told me. "That's why he's holding her."

Anna showed us the last two outfits, which both made Alice's definitely pile. I was shocked when Rosalie and Alice started bringing out the yeses. There were so many clothes.

"We are not buying all of those clothes."

Alice turned to me, but I was only paying attention to Anna. Her little eyes grew wide and she stuck out her lower lip, which started to tremble. I was done for, doomed, I hadn't fought against the puppy dog pout enough; but I couldn't cave. "Don't give me that look."

"Bella, I think it would be fair to warn you that I always get my way when it comes to shopping. So instead of wasting time fighting me, let's just go find clothes for Cissy, then I'll pay for all of this." Alice had her hands planted on her hips, and her look actually frightened me.

She started handing the guys clothes for them to hold while we went looking for stuff for Cissy.

I sighed and got up. Rosalie gently took hold of my arms as I started to sway. "Go ahead and sit down Bella. Alice and I will take care of the shopping." Likewise Rosalie didn't pay attention to my arguing. She pushed my back down onto the couch and then set Anna in my lap before joining Alice at the racks.

Anna grinned at me; she was so happy, that it almost made me forget the reason I didn't want to be near the Cullens. She pressed her cheek against mine, and I gratefully accepted the energy, knowing I was going to need it for the drive back home.

"Okay, we've got everything, now we just need to pay for it," Alice bounced to my side her arms full of baby clothing. She grinned when she saw my look of annoyance. "I promise you we didn't get anything bigger than six months."

"Even though we did find some really cute things she could grow in to." Rosalie said as she picked Anna up. She settled her on her hip, as if she had done it all her life.

Rosalie, carried Anna, and Emmett carried Cissy, while the six of us walked up to the counter. It only took one glance from the cashier to know, no one had ever bought so much clothing from this store before. I purposely looked away so I wouldn't see how much it was, even though I did hand Alice over my bank card, knowing very well there would be plenty of money to cover the cost multiple times over.

Alice laughed at me and handed me back the card. "Silly Bella, I said I was buying. Where'd you get a card like that anyway?"

I knew she already knew, after all they heard the conversation I had over the phone with Carlos. Since they knew though there wasn't any real harm in telling them. "Anna's dad, gave me his companies in his will."

"Companies?" Emmett raised an eyebrow, which caused Anna to laugh.

I nodded. "There's three of them, and I'm CEO for all three."

Alice was grinning excitedly beside me. "Any cool perks to being the boss?"

I shrugged. "In a couple weeks, I have to go to Chicago, to the headquarters of the second one, for some meeting."

"That should be fun," Alice started passing out shopping bags, setting some in the stroller where the girls should be siting.

"Is the company's, private jet picking you up?" Emmett teased me.

I smirked at him. "That's probably the one thing I'm looking forward to about running the companies."

He laughed at that.

With the others carrying bags, and carrying the girls, I pushed the stroller; leading the way to my car.

They packed up the car for me, going as far as buckling the girls in.

"This was fun, we should do it again sometime." Alice made a point of glaring at my three bags of clothes; causing all her siblings to laugh.

I did my best to glare back at her, while trying not to yawn. "Thanks for all your help, and for buying the clothes."

She smiled. "No problem, it was my pleasure."

I grabbed my keys out of my purse and headed for the driver's side. Two sets of hands grabbed hold of my arms and I panicked. It took everything I had to not throw out my shield, forcing them away from me.

"What do you think you're doing?" I demanded pulling free of one set of hands, while the other set tightened their grip protectively. I glanced at the hands and followed the arm to the shoulder, up the neck and then up to the face of the person holding onto me; who I found out was Rosalie.

"Bella, you don't think we're going to let you drive." Rosalie's voice was filled with concern. "You're tired, we kept you here all this time, so we're responsible for making sure you get home safely."

I opened my mouth to argue but Edward stopped me.

"You wouldn't want anything to happen to Anna or Cissy, and they can't lose you. Let me drive you home." He reached his hand out for my keys.

This can't be happening. I glanced at each of their faces, all five of them were serious. They weren't going to let me leave, unless one of them was driving the car. I sighed and gave up, handing over my keys to Edward.

He climbed onto the driver's seat while I took the passenger seat. He waited for his siblings to drive up in their car, then he drove to my house.

A sudden jerk of electricity woke me. My eyes flew open and I was wide awake. I hadn't remembered falling asleep but one glance at my house and I knew that I had.

I turned my attention to the right and found my door open and a still Edward staring at me. He glanced down at his hands before turning back to me. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you."

"That's okay," I told him hurriedly. I climbed out of the car too quickly, ending up stumbling right into his arms. He caught me easily enough, and helped me regain my balance before letting his hands drop to his side. I didn't pay attention to any of this though.

The entire time his arms were around me it felt like an electric current was passing through me, I thought I could almost hear the air crackling with the electricity. I was sure he felt it too, just because of how quickly he let me go.

My mind was reeling, as I hurried passed him and into the house. I ignored his siblings, and Charlie who had stopped talking when they saw me rush into the house.

Charlie misunderstood my panicked look. "Anna and Cissy are already upstairs in bed, Bells."

"We already brought everything in, too." Alice called after me.

I nodded but didn't say anything as I rushed up the stairs. I was out of my day clothes and into my pajamas in a flash. Seconds later I had crawled into bed beside Anna.

I wrapped my arms around myself and held my panic back until I was sure the vampires were far enough away they couldn't hear.

I was scared, no, I was terrified. My life was about to change, drastically; and it was all because of one touch. The conversation my mom had had with me seemed to roar in my ears, and I knew without a doubt that I was right in my conclusion. It was the mating bond; I had found my soul mate, and his name was Edward Cullen.

Author's note

Well wasn't that fun. I hope you guys liked this chapter, it was fun for me to right.

Do you guys think, Rosalie noticed Bella's colder than normal skin? Do you think the Cullens have any reason to start wondering about Bella? Any Ideas when you think the Cullen's should learn about Bella's powers? And finally, any idea why or how Renee knows so much about the mating bond?

Can't wait to hear your guys' thoughts

Bye,
