Chapter IV

"Maw-miiiiii??" Catherine said while she shook my arm. "Maw-miiiiiii why awe you sweeping on the cowch?"

"I fell asleep here after work while um… watching TV!" I said. I didn't want to tell her that Alice, her aunt, came over last night to cope with the fact that I finally realized that you are not a normal child… you are half vampire, half human and you will most likely be extremely stronger then anyone ever imagined possible.

DINGALING, DINALING. I got up to pick up the phone.

"Hello?" I moaned into the receiver.

"Hey Bella. You told me to call you in the morning so… here I am… calling you. I was thinking… do you want to go shopping today? I thought you could use some new clothes that actually fit your body and-"

"Alice… ugh… fine. I will meet you somewhere after I drop Catherine off at daycare. Hold on a sec… Hey baby? Can you go pick out an outfit for yourself today?" I asked. She smiled and ran to her bedroom, "Alice, I will me you at the mall when I am done dropping her off, okay?"

"Okay Bella! I will see you later… love you!" With that the line went dead. Alice will be Alice. She never did change did she? Stupid shopping addicted pixie… I get to be dress up Bella again… YAY! I wandered off into the kitchen to make some breakfast.

Wow, I never realized this but, Catherine is half vampire and she still can eat, sleep, and still has blood. I don't believe that she ever felt the desire to hunt human blood… this is strange. I will talk to Alice about that later. WOW! I placed Catherine's muffin on the table and sipped my coffee. I really wish I had some money to spend. I really don't want Alice to be paying for all of my new clothes. Knowing Alice though, I wouldn't be allowed to spend a dime. Great. Catherine sat down and started eating her muffin. I wonder if the muffin tastes the same to her as is does to me… I wonder if everything she does in life is a little different.

"okai maw-miiiii. I am ready to go to daycare!" Catherine exclaimed while pulling me towards the front door of our apartment. I buckled her in her car seat and then got into the front seat of my Nissan. I had finally gotten rid of my truck 3 years before when I had my baby. The truck was not a safe car to drive with the baby because the seat would have to be placed into the front passenger side seat and god forbid anything happened while I was driving… I pulled up in front of the Little Angels daycare and walked my baby girl inside.

"Good morning Bella. How are you today Catherine? Go inside and play. Miss Sarah is going to do story time in a few minutes." The facilities director asked. Catherine jumped up and down when she heard that story time was going to start and sprinted towards the back room.

"Oh, Bella… this is Rosalie. She is the new arts and crafts instructor here at Little Angels." Rosalie? This can't be… I thought. As the new instructor turned around I gasped and then stormed out the door heading into the newly fallen rain.

This… this can't be happening. I- I- I know that Alice was here now, but I didn't think that the entire family would be in this area too! So… Rosalie is going to be working where my daughter is… oh my god. I hope she didn't recognize me. She always hated me so… maybe she wouldn't remember me as well. what if she knows its Edwards and then tells him!!

"Bella! Isabella Swan!! Where are you?? We need to talk!" I heard a voice scream. I was already walking to my car but suddenly I felt a cool hand grab my wrist.

"Bella, seriously. Can we please talk?" Rosalie asked while I got in the car. She got in the passenger side door and then looked at me.

"Bella, did you really think that I wouldn't recognize your scent? I know I never treated you… correctly but I never didn't notice you so much that I wouldn't know that it was you back there. Sure, I wasn't completely sure at first but then as you stumbled on the way out I knew that you were defidentally the clumsy Bella that my brother Edward loved so much."

"Rosalie… why did you all come here? I-I- I came here because I thought I would never see you again in a big city in Seattle, but here you are. I already stumbled across Alice the other day at work…"

"You… you saw Alice? Bella?"

"Rosalie… I have to go… I am meeting Alice today… I am supposed to be there already and you need to get back to work!"

"Bella, where are you going?"

"Shopping…" I replied. Something clicked in her head and she smiled.

"Pick something pretty put will you? You will need it for what I think Alice has in store for you!" she yelled while getting out of my car. I groaned. Something was going to happen… and I have no idea what!

DINGALING, DINALING.

"Hey Alice… yes… I am coming. Don't worry… no I'm not hurt. I am almost there. See you in a second." With that I hung up and then pulled into a parking space at the mall. Alice came quickly to me car and helped me get out.

"So… I already know what we have to buy so… please let's just go!" Alice and I went into fourteen to fifteen stores and came out with about eight bags each. I have never been on a shopping trip like this with anyone other then my good friend Alice. The one thing that was different about this trip though was what she bought me. I couldn't believe that she made me go into Victoria's secret and try almost everything in the store on. That was completely horrible.

"Alice, I saw Rose today. Um… just to let you know, I might be switching day cares because Rose is now working at the one that I send Catherine to everyday and personally I don't want her to know because she will tell Edward and… I just can't face him about his daughter right now."

"Oh, yea… she told me she saw you and there was a girl that resembled Edward but she didn't think much of if… she's blond." Alice said. (A/N: I have nothing against blonde, just wanted to make this moment not so serious) We both burst out laughing and many people stared at us as we walked around the parking lot.

"Alice… what time is it??" I asked. I had lost track of time and I needed to go get Catherine by 4:30.

"Um… 4:15."

"Sorry Alice. I have to go get Catherine… please… drop the stuff off at my house. The spare key is in the eave. I jumped into my car and drove as fast as I could to get my little angel.

A/N: Okay guys… what you think? I didn't really care about making this chapter too long because I have so much in store for the next two chapters. Those two will probably be two of my longest because Alice takes Bella out and something unexpected… or maybe expected is going to happen… Btw, I need 3 reviews from now to update… INSERT EVIL LAUGH HERE… Thanks to all my reviews… only 3 reviews come on… please… just click the little button down in the corner!
