Hey everyone. This is one of those pre chapters and sort of a filler until we can get to the actual plot line, it doesnt focus on the baby too much but i hope you like it. The next one will have a lot more of the plot in it so dont worry! The faster and more reviews I get the longer and sooner i'll update!
Golden eyes
"Dad!" I cried! I started jogging at a brisk pace, making my way to Charlie. He held out his arms, and i crashed into them, tripping over the carpet lining the floor of the terminal. He held me in an awkward and almost forced embrace for a few seconds before I pulled away.
"Bella, you've gotten....taller?" He seemed to look at me questioningly. He hadn't seen me since I was fourteen so I can see the confusion on his face. I would never go two years without seeing my baby. My baby. The thought of it made me smile.
"Yes dad, only inches though. How have you been? The police station's not getting too much action is it?" We both laughed knowing in a town the size of Forks, the closest thing to crime was a couple drunken high schoolers from another town driving through.
"Oh Bells. You look good kid." he clapped me on the back and we headed to baggage claim. The car ride was filled with sporatic questions and comfortable silences. We got back to the familiar little house that i'd spent many summers at. With the small, crowded kitchen, the sunken living room with the old brown leather couch, and the windows all relaying the same green and mossy view. I made my way up the steep and narrow staircase, lined with pictures on the faded wallpaper. The time he took me fishing, my school photos, a picture of us in front of the christmas tree the one year Renee went on a cruise for christmas. All these memories kind of like ghosts, haunted this stairwell for him to see every day.
"I threw my bag on my old bed, however I noticed the room changed. There was a deep purple comforter on the bed, a new white desk, and the rocking chair that Renee nursed me in, was now gone. And in its place was a new chair, much more plush looking and designed for reading. Old white bookshelves lined the back wall, only shared with a large window glancing out into the mossy exterior that never faded. I unpacked my laptop onto the desk and slipped into me and Charlie's shared bathroom to put some of my things in there. It was small, but everything about this little town is small.
When most of my things were unpacked, I went downstairs and ransacked the cabinets looking for something that i could make dinner with. I found a pack of speggeti noodles in the pantry and a jar of tomato sauce in the fridge. I made a mental note to go shopping for Charlie. I threw the noodles on the pot and pulled out my class list. I started school tomorrow. I leaned against the counter and tried to memorize the schedule. Geometry, English, Government, Pe, oh crap. I hated gym.
The sound of boiling water drove me from my trance, visions of broken arms from a volley ball and a casted leg vanished as i dropped the dusty speggeti into the pot.
"Hey Bella." Charlie walked in from the living room. I didn't look up but the sound of clunking boots ceased almost immediately. "Are you...cooking?" He asked almost shocked.
"Yeah, i'll go grocery shopping later this week. You really didnt have much." I mentally made a note to pick up prenatal vitamins. "Hey dad, there's a hospital in forks right?" I had to find out the information on the gynocology department.
"Mmm." He replied as he walked over to the pot of simmering water. "Dr. Cullen is the main surgeon in the town. Excellent doctor. Young too. He must have gone to college pretty early for all the specialties he has." He walked back around the kitchen to sit at the small old table that comfortably sat four. I wondered if he did obgyn work.

"BRINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG BRINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG" my alarm blared. I instictively wrapped an arm around my flat stomach. I yawned groggily and threw my covers over to the side and inevitably off the bed. I trudged to the bathroom and wiped the sleep from my eyes. I manuvered the toothbrush in my mouth and a comb through my ratty hair.
I made my way back to my bedroom, minty teeth and shiny soft hair in tact, and slid the cold black eye liner onto the small crease under my eye. A quick swipe of mascara and a brush stroke of cream colored eye shadow and i was ready to go. I grabbed a pair of blue jeans and a red tight sweater my mom got me right before I left. A pair of black boots and a black head band completed my first day look. I ran down the stairs when I saw the numbers on the clock and grabbed a granola bar out of the cabinet before picking up my black messenger bag.
I flew into the car and slammed the door shut, my car roaring to life, possibly the new neighborhood alarm clock. I swerved down the twisting and winding small roads, lightly covered in a layer of snow. I pulled my schedule out of my back pocked while driving with one hand. The smartest idea? No. But luckily i managed to not kill myself. I slid into a spot about halfway down the parking lot. I realized how cold it was when i had to quickly transition from the comfortable temperature of my car to the frigid washington winter.
The snow crunched under my feet, and i realized it wasnt there yesterday. You would think that the white would cover the green, or cause it to die because of the cold. But it was eternal and immortal It never died.
"Hey you must be Bella!" A male voice called from behind me. I turned to see an average height guy with strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes staring back at me. He outstretched his hand. "I'm Mike. Mike Newton. I know your dad, hes a good guy. Need a tour guide?" He asked eagerly.
"Nice meeting you Mike." i said as I shook his gloved hand. "i'm actually ok for right now, but maybe if you could point me in the direction of geometry?" His face fell when i mentioned my first class.
"Oh thats the second brick building on your left." he mumbled and pointed with his left hand.
'Thanks." I turned, smiled, and politely walked away as fast as the hell I could. He gave me the most awkward feeling that I couldnt put my finger on.
I bumped into someone as i was hurrying to my first class. I turned to see who it was. This little girl, well she wasnt little she was just short. She had brown short spikey hair, bright gold eyes and a huge smile on her red lips.
'Hi! I'm Alice. You must be Bella! Oh im so glad to meet you! What class are you going to?" she had so much energy and i had to like her. I could tell from that moment on we were going to be friends.
Turns out Alice and I had our first three classes together and that day we had an instant connection.
"So do you want to come over today after school? We can work on that insane geometry homework?" She asked expectantly.
"I'd love to, but i have to be home kind of early to make my dad dinner."
"Thats fine, i'm so happy your coming over!" Oh my brothers will be there but they'll leave us alone."
So i followed her back to her house. We pulled onto this little what I thought was a road but was really their driveway and we pulled up to a massive white mansion that you wouldnt even believe existed. It looked straight out of a story book. We parked and she ran over to my door at almost at an inhuman speed.
"MOM! DAD! I brought a friend home!!" She yelled. The walls echoed the sound.
'Alice dear who is it?" Her mom was beautiful. She was the most beautiful person i'd ever seen. And Alice was abnormally striking also. Her mom who i later learned as Esme had long flowing brown and golden hair, pale skin, and beautiful large golden eyes.
"Oh my, Bella Swan! Chief Swan's daughter! Its a pleasure to meet you!" She wrapped her cold arms around me in a warm embrace.
"its very nice to meet you too mrs..um.,.?" It occurred to me that I didnt know alice's last name.
"Cullen." She finished for me with a laugh. "but please dear call me Esme."
"Um ok." i looked down at my feet awkwardly. "thank you for having me..Esme."
"Oh its no problem dear! Alice wont you show Bella around?"
"Ok! Bella come upstairs!" I was dragged around the house. The seemingly untouched kitchen, the spacious living areas, and the impecably clean dining room. I was then led upstairs and shown
Alice's huge bedroom with a walk in closet the size of Charlie's whole upstairs.
"and this is my brother Edward's room, hes a freshman in college." she pushed open a door and the first thing I saw was a man. He was amazingly beautiful and had stunning golden eyes.
And i was lost. In those beautiful golden eyes.
