Raise your hands if you are ready for some drama! Anybody? No, well too bad because we've got some drama in the form of, well, we'll get to who that person is. Sorry it's been a while since I've posted, I've been busy with school work and such. Anyways, I'd just like to say that Joplin is looking like a brand new town, A LOT of the debris is already picked up, but there is still so much more to go. On that note, I'd also like to say that I'm over joyed to see the walls of the Wal-Mart that was destroyed going back up, it means that I don't have to drive twenty minutes in traffic to a Wal-Mart for a simple thing. So, I'm begging that Wal-Mart hurry up and get built, but do it wisely. Anyways, please review and enjoy the chapter.

"Bella," Edward ran up beside me, giving me a kiss on the cheek. "How was your test?"

"Good, I think," I'd had a math test today and had been stressing over it so bad.

Edward grabbed my hand and held it as we walked out of the school, we'd been dating for two months, Edward knew I wanted to go slow, so he was going with it. We went out for dinner, went to the movies when we could get a ride, I knew Edward was ready for his birthday, his parents had been hinting at a car for him, he only had a few more months to go.

"So, what are we doing for Janie's birthday this weekend."

"Don't you work this weekend?"

Edward had recently started working at the skating rink, so Jane and I went to visit him often.

"Got off, since it's Janie's birthday and all. Don't tell Jane but mom's planning this big surprise party for Jane, she's invited some of her clients with kids around Jane's age. Hope you don't mind."

"I don't, I think she'll like that, she talks about Esme's work all the time. She's really enjoying it."

I didn't let on that I was still fearful of the reason's that Jane had been staying with Esme and not Mrs. Hazel, Edward didn't need to worry about my sanity.

"Well, we are taking Jane out to the park for awhile, then taking her to the party," Edward said, then started telling me what Esme had gotten her, making sure we hadn't gotten the same thing for her.

"Oh, mom want's to talk to you before Saturday, she wants to ask you something, actually, as soon as we stop to pick Jane up, she wants to talk to you."

I was curious as we drove to the shop, I got out and Edward followed me to the store, where he went to grab Jane from where she was playing.

"Esme, Edward said you needed to talk. Is everything okay with Jane?"

"Janie was fine, Bella, don't worry about her. Actually, I asked Charlie something and he said okay, so I'd like to run the idea by you. I'd like to hire you, about ten to twenty hours a week, you'd handle my appointments, you'd do some cleaning around the place. I'd pay you minimum wage, it would technically be under the table because of your age. What do you think?"

"I'd love to as long as it's okay with Charlie, and I'll have to find someplace for Jane to stay."

"Jane is always more than welcome here, even when you are working," Esme said.

"Then you have an assistant," I said, sticking out my hand and shaking hers.

"Mommy," Jane yelled, running to me and attaching herself to my leg.

"Hi, Janie, did you have fun with mimi?"

"Yes, I missed you."

"Baby, I've missed you too. You ready for this weekend?"

"Why?"

"Because it's your birthday and Edward and I are taking you to the park," I told her and swear I heard Esme cough, I shared a smile with her.

I picked Jane up and took her home.

"Surprise," everybody yelled, even though I'd known about the party, I was still surprised and even jumped, accidentally jumping into Edward, who caught me and laughed.

"You okay," he whispered into my ear.

"Embarrassed but fine."

"Emmett didn't see," he told me, thank god he didn't, if he had, Emmett would have embarrassed me even worse.

"There's my kiddo," a voice boomed, speak of the devil, Emmett came out of the kitchen with a paper birthday hat on and a few where swinging from his hand, one for Jane, me and Edward I presumed.

"Unka Emmie," Jane yelled, running over to him. "It's my birthday!"

"I know, I'm excited for the new toys," Emmett said, tossing Edward and I the party hats and helping Jane into her hat.

I took a picture of that, then went to find Esme, who was in the kitchen preparing some food for the party goers.

"Hey, Esme," I said. "Need any help?"

"I don't think so, you should be out enjoying Janie's party. Oh, some of the mom's out there, belong to a book club, Bella, you should join, I'll even join if you want."

"I'll think about it," I told her and headed back out to the party.

"Hi, are you Jane's mom?" A women came up and asked me.

"Yes, I'm Bella."

"It's so nice to finally meet you, Esme talks so highly about you. I'm Sue Clearwater by the way."

"It's so nice to meet you, which kid's yours?"

"Well, I have two, I have Leah who just turned thirteen, and then Seth who's three. You should meet Leah some time. I don't know if Esme told you about the book club that we have, but Leah watches the kids while we sit around and talk about the book of the week."

"Esme did tell me, I just have to think on it, my schedule is hectic with Jane and school."

"Let me give you some mom advice, take some time for your self, if you keep wrapped up in you child and in school, you are going to miss out on some great things, plus, if you're given free babysitting, take it."

"I'll probably do it, but what about my age, I'm only fourteen."

"Come on, there is somebody I'd like you to meet," Sue said and lead me to a young girl, who was talking to a little boy.

"Tessa," the girl looked up. "I'd like you to meet Bella, Jane's mom. Bella, this is Tessa, she's from the rez where I live and I brought her along, you might find you have more in common with the book club member's than you think," Sue said and walked off.

"Hi, just one second. Micheal, I told you not yet." The little boy pouted but ran off. "Thank you so much for allowing us to come. That was my son, Micheal."

"Sue introduced us because of our age, didn't she."

"Yea, so what's your story," Tessa asked. She didn't look like any of the girls from the reservation, she had shoulder length blond hair and blue eyes.

"Don't want to go into detail, Jane's father's in prison, we'll leave it at that."

"I get it, I was thirteen when I had Mike, my boyfriend was fifteen at the time. When we realized Mike was coming, we took a drive, here to Forks, I told him that I needed to stop for a potty break, when I came back out, he was gone. Sue took me in, she never asked questions, never judged me, nothing. I've really grown to love the rez and it's people. I found a place where I fit in."

"What about your parents?"

"Disowned me after they found me pregnant. You should really count yourself lucky, having a support group like the Cullen's and your father, Sue told me what she knew. After being dumped here, I called my mother in hysteria, she hadn't even known I was missing yet. I let it slip that I'd become pregnant and my mother said I was no longer welcome at home. From that day forward I wasn't Tessa Nicola Newman, I'm Tessa Clearwater. I took on Sue and Harry's last name, I haven't legally changed it, but they have become my family."

Tessa and I talked for awhile longer, I realized that I wasn't the only teenage mom out there, there where others and I'd find them as I traveled the road I was on.

"Hey, what are you ladies chatting about," Edward came over and set down.

"Just mommy stuff, Tessa this is Edward, Edward, this is Tessa, Micheal's mom."

"Nice to meet you. Bella, mom told me to come tell you that food is ready if you want to eat, Emmett already got Janie's food so you don't have to worry," Edward said, then offered me a hand to help me up.

"He's cute," Tessa giggled in my ear.

"Yea, and he's mine," I said, giving her a playful glare.

"Oh, you two are an item, how is that working?"

"You mean with Jane, it's good. Edward's been in her life since she was four months old, I'm sure if I pulled whatever was poking out of his pocket out, it's be a girl-y toy."

To prove it, I snatched at the toy to find a doll.

"What?" Edward said, putting his hand down at his pocket.

"Told ya," I said to Tessa.

"That boy is whipped."

"Um... care to explain?"

"Oh, I was sure you had a toy for Janie in your pocket," I told him, letting him in on the joke. He sighed, and went to get food. Tessa and I followed, grabbing what ever food the kids or Emmett had left us.

I walked back in the living room, where parents where helping the two and three year old's eat, Emmett was helping Jane and set down next to Edward, Tessa just on the other side of me, who had Micheal at her feet.

After food, it was time for the cake, when Jane saw the cake, her eyes went wide with excitement, so we served her a nice sized piece. Which she devoured, I laughed at her as she ate it, smearing cake on her face and Emmett's.

"Edward," I heard a squeal from the door, a voice that went through at least three octaves, by just saying one word. I saw a strawberry blond by the door, medium height and breathtakingly stunning.

Then I heard a plate drop near the kitchen, Esme, Carlisle, Alice and Emmett took a sudden and very shocked gasp in.

"Shit," Edward said under his breath, it was the first time I'd ever heard him curse, he was so good at controlling it around the kids. "Tanya."

"Eddie, poo," Tanya said. I knew this was bad when Emmett doesn't laugh at a nick name like that. The blond bounced up to Edward and my heart dropped as she placed a kiss on his lips and it wasn't a friendly kiss either.

I quickly got up and ran to the bathroom, where tears started coming out my eyes. I slid to the floor just as a soft knock came on the door.

"Go away," I moaned, still crying and not wanted to be seen in my current condition. The door creaked open, to reveal Emmett and Jane, both covered in frosting.

"Hey," Emmett said. "That was really bad. Nobody thought she'd be back."

"Who is she?" I asked as Emmett started to run water to give Jane a quick bath.

"Old girlfriend of Edward's. They dated when Edward was eleven, before he meet you," Emmett told me.

"That kiss," I whispered.

"Tanya's a tornado that sweeps through the lives of many and destroys everything in her path, even hearts. Edward is with you now," Emmett told me. (AN: I wrote this line and gave Tanya this nickname well before the May 22, 2011 tornado. Please don't be upset over the line, if you feel that I should change it, let me know and I'll do my best to find another name.)

"I'm broken, Emmett, I not capable of being a girl that boys want."

"Do what you need to do, just please don't take Janie out of our lives."

"You know I wouldn't do that, I'm still really close with Alice," I said, tears falling again.

"Kid, everything will be okay, I promise."

I nodded and got up, going back to the party. I noticed Tanya wasn't any where, and nobody was watching me, I grabbed Edward and headed out to the back patio.

"Bella, I'm so sorry. I didn't think she'd-" Edward said before I cut him off.

"Edward, I can't do it, I can't be with you, you need a girl that's in working order, not one that's broken, can we just go back to the way we where, you can go back to dating Tanya, she can give you everything you deserve and I'll go back to being a friend."

Edward hung his head but walked back inside, no fight, no begging, just a hung head. I set outside for awhile and watched the sun sink lower. Esme came to check on me and let me cry on her shoulder.
