Bella's POV

So far my first day has been boring which is good I guess. Sam showed me how the system worked and Paul comes and checks on me every 5 minutes which is extremely annoying.

"Hey Bella we are about to close up for lunch. Do you want to come with us? We usually go to the diner down the street." Sam asks.

"Um sure, if you don't mind." I don't know what I'm so nervous around him.

We get to the diner and sit down when I see him. Him, Amelia's father.

"I need to leave, Sam. I'll walk back." I whisper trying not to cause any attention.

"Don't run from him Bella. You're better than that. Plus if you don't face him today it will just have to be another day. It's a small town." Paul apparently knows more about than I thought. He grabs my hand and drags me in.

I'm trying to hide behind them but he sees me.

"Bella! I heard you were back. It's about time you step up and be a mother. Too bad you're parents had to die first."

"Mike I don't want to do this here or now." I mumble.

"So you're sleeping with Paul. I knew you were a slut. I doubt the kid is even mine. Have fun with her." He says to Paul and I slap him.

I was heartbroken over him leaving me but I finally see him for the jerk everyone else already knew him to be. And all the sudden it hits me hard that I left my baby girl, the little girl that in just short time I've known her has captured my whole heart, because of this jerk and I go crazy and I hit him over and over in his chest and I guess out of shock he just stands there and lets me until Sam pulls me away.

"Leave now Mike." He tells him and Mike actually goes.

"I'm so sorry." I tell both of them. So much for my boringly easy first day. "I think I'm still going to walk back. I'm really not hungry."

"Bella stay, please. You shouldn't be alone right now." Sam says and I stay easily because I don't really want to be alone especially since I know he is close.

I order a salad and pick at it and listen to Sam and Paul talk about work stuff. Everyone who walks in stops by to say hi and I smile at everyone not really on the mood to chat. After what seems like forever it's time to head back.

And just because nothing is easy Mike is waiting at the shop. Sam tells him to leave and Mike tells him he was actually here because he needs work done at which Sam tells him he can take it somewhere else.

"Come on the next closest shop is 2 hours away." Mike whines.

"That's why I opened up here. Now go." Sam demands.

"I'll ruin you." Mike threatens.

"You can try but the people in this town know who to trust and who's full of crap and not worth the time." Sam counters.

Mike throws a fit but leaves when he realizes it's not doing any good.

"Sam I'm sorry. I don't want to cost you business." I apologize.

"Don't worry about it Bella. He's a jerk and he tries to screw places out of money anyway he can. I might not have taken him anyways. But there was no way I was going to make you deal with him after what he said to you."

"Thanks." I tear up but try to not let it show. I'm not used to people being this nice to me.

The rest of the day is pretty boring luckily.

"Mommy!" Amelia yells as I walk through the door and my heart melts at her smile.

We talk about her day from breakfast to feeding the ducks to painting her bedroom walls at which point Billy looks slightly annoyed but laughs about it anyways.

"You can't take your eyes off that one." He says as she drags me in to show me.

"Gramma and Papa and Mommy and Jakey and Billy and Amelia." She points out each person in her drawing and I tell her it's beautiful but next time she should stick to paper.

Soon Jakes gets home and we talk about my day with me skipping the part about Mike not wanting to upset him. But it seems Paul told him and he's more upset I didn't tell him.

"I'm fine Jake. Don't worry about him." I try to reassure him.

After dinner and a bath I tuck Amelia into bed and sing her the song my mom sang to her every night. The same song she sang to me when I was little.

Then I curl up next to Jake and watch a movie until I fall asleep. This being a grown up thing isn't so bad so far.

A/N Should Bella end up with Jake, Sam, Paul or Jasper or Emmett who I plan to write in, in the next few chapters?
