Chapter 4: Welcome home?

The family had been upset when Bella and Edward told them they should go back to work.

- I'm not going to leave my job, - Bella said, taking the keys out of her purse - you didn't listen to me and the children are not accepted in the office.

- And I have a meeting with a client, - Edward said sending emails from his phone - I don't have the time to take care of her.

- It's your responsibility, - Mrs. Brandon protested - my husband should go to the chiropractor and we can not take the girl.

- Ask for a taxi and take it to the house, run on our own.

- You can not…

- We warn you - Bella said walking to the car.

- What time will you go through it - Esme sighed, taking Paulette's hand

- I hesitate to leave before midnight.

- I'll go through Bella, so don't wait for me early either.

- Bella has her own car - said Rosalie - you can go through Pau.

- I'm not going to let my wife walk through the streets alone at midnight.

Edward and Bella got into their cars and walked away from the building, Paulette said goodbye with one hand an with the other held her favorite doll.

The adults left to prepare the suitcases to deliver them when they went to Paulette.

The clock read 3 o'clock in the morning when the car parked in front of the Cullen house, Esme and Rosalie were waiting for them, quite angry.

- Paulette fell asleep hours ago and don't say "we warned you" - Esme reproached them.

- Well, we did it, - Bella said with a shrug - I'm sleepy and tomorrow I have to go back to the office early, so if you bring Paulette, we can go.

- Will not you stay with her?

- I have to work

- What about you, Edward?

- Three meetings before noon, maybe I got home at 5 or 6

- It is saturday

- And we lost half an afternoon today.

- It's better that Pau spend the night here - said Esme thinking about her sleeping granddaughter - It's already late, tomorrow you go through the girl?

- We can go and take the things of Pau while you are in the office - said Rosalie - so she will be installed when you arrive

- I'm not going to let your kids stain my chairs and rug, - Bella warned, remembering the time their immaculate white sofa was filled with cherry soda. - we will call you when we get home and you can take Paulette with her things, I'm not going to give the keys or the password of my house.

- Those are just armchairs

- The cleaning cost me 200 dollars.

Both left the house and got into the car thinking that in a few hours Paulette would be with them at all time.

They were not even a little ready to have her with them.

~~~~ TSM ~~~~

It was 7 o'clock in the afternoon when Bella came home, Edward had arrived an hour earlier and had decided to go buy something to have dinner with Paulette, hade calling her mother-in-law, assuring her that the room was ready, but had to endure the heartbreaking sobs from Esme, because when she went to Alice and Jasper's apartment, she discovered that they hardly had the necessary things.

I park next to Edward's car and go down just to see my neighbor arrive with her three children, a 16-years-old girl, and 11-years-old twins, they had been neighbors since the twins were about 4-years-old and had never spoken, except when the girl was an explorer and she sold them cookies.

- Hello

The woman with latin features looked at her children who blushed and said in chorus "good afternoon lady" and went home with their football bags on their shoulders.

- Hi, I'm María, - she said, approaching the fences of bushes- can I help you with something?

- I'm Bella, nice to meet you… we've been neighbors for quite some time and I was wondering in which school your children go, my niece will live with us and I'm not planning to cross half the city to take her to her old school.

- I understand, the school were my children go is half an hour from here, has a fairly good transportation system, pass them to the door and leave them at the time they finish their classes and extra workshops, for example, my children leave until five in the afternoon and arrive home at six, do homework, have dinner and go to bed.

- That would be great, my husband and I work all day and we need to keep the girl occupied.

- I'll find the school phone number for you to schedule an appointment, I assure you that it makes life much easier to have them in a full-time school.

Bella nodded and said goodbye exchanging numbers, María came thinking how her serious neighbors could take care of a small girl, she remembered how difficult it had been when his children cried for being all day at school.

Bella entered the house, Edward was waiting for her with a certain panic attack.

- What's up, love? - she asked sitting next to him and hugging him.

- I don't want her here, Bella, I do not want her here.

- Me neither,- she admitted covering her face - but we can not do anything to prevent it, you have said it, it will only be for a while.

Edward nodded but didn't let bella pull away from him, instead he put her on his lap and kissed her desperately, Bella responded with the same emotion, she was not going to push him away when they both knew it would be the last moments they would have alone at home.

The engine of a car, as well as the cries of several children warned them that they had arrived, both moaned and got up to open the doors.

~~~~ TSM ~~~~

The move of the girl had been faster than they had thought, with only two boxes were she had his clothes and a small trunk with her toy was all she had, now they were saying goodbye as Emmett had to take his parents and Rosalie's to their respective homes and it was a long way, with three children who could not be still, for that reason were in the garden where they couldn't ruin or destroy anything.

Bella had given part of the dinner to Rosalie and confirmed that she had asked for the week in the office to stay with Paulette and fix things at school, she could bother her, but she must admit that Rosalie really cared about Paulette, that included that she had been upset because they would change her school, but there was nothing she could do to prevent it.

Bella was putting the glasses, where she had offered them to drink, in the dishwater when Paulette entered from the back garden with a sad pout and crying eyes, stepped over to Rosalie and stood in front of Bella.

- Aunt Bella…

- What happened?

- Is not it true that you love me?

- What kind of question is that, Paulette?

- Matt, Alex and Zack said that you did not want me here and you would send me to sleep in the garden in a dog house.

Bella looked at Rosalie who blushed and embarrassed about what her children had said, but she chose to ignore her and focused on the little blonde's pout.

- Edward and I love you very much, Paulette- I assure and clean her tears- I would send your cousins to the garden to sleep and I would not given a dog house, you will have your own room upstairs.

Paulette smiled and hugged her legs, Bella sighed and patted her back to send her to say goodbye to her grandparents.

- They are children, - Rosalie said apologetically - They don't want to hurt.

- Keep it to yourself, - I cut her off believing nothing of what she said - go for your children and leave my house.

- You're so rude - she said before going out into the yard and calling the children.

They were all alone in the house in a matter of minutes, it was their first night as a family of three and the only one who was excited was Paulette, Bella and Edward did not know what they would do from now.

Hello girls

As Paulette came to live with them, we will see that such happens their first night and as the saw may not be prepared, but they are aware that they should be interested in the girl.

I'll just tell you that those who hate this couple will continue hating them for quite some time.

I clarify a question that I have asked enough. Rosalie and Alice are sisters, both Brandon, while Emmett, Jasper and Edward are Cullen, and Edward is the youngest.

Let me know your opinions, comments, criticisms, theories, or whatever you want to share with me in a review, I read each of them and try to answer them all.

Translator's comment

Hello girls,

This couple is not willing to leave their work aside for the girl, and for now she will go to a full-time school. Paulette is excited but her uncles are not so much, and the rest of the family much less, but nobody is really thinking about the girl, everyone is worried about the will of Alice and Jasper.

Girls, I'm sorry to tell you that next week I will not be able to upload a chapter because I'll be in a camp, but for those who leave me a review, I'll give you a small preview. Thank you very much for your comments, favs and alerts.

See you next chapter.
