A New Beginning.
Chapter One: A New Start.
I was finally here. Forks, Washington. The United States of America.
I looked out the window, and then into the rear view mirror and looked at the sleeping angel in the back of my car.
Leo. He was now my reason for living. I owed so much to him, and he doesn't even know it.
I took one more look in the rear view mirror, before I climbed out of the car.
Just as I climbed out of the car, my Dad came walking out of the house.
"Bella!" He called out to me. "You finally made it, I was beginning to think you had gotten lost!"
I looked at him with what must have been a confused look of my face. "Me? Lost? You should know that I can never get lost, Dad. I know this place all too well"
Charlie laughed at me. This made me blush.
He then changed the subject which was thankful for.
"Where is he then?" Charlie asked me.
"In the car… sleeping." I looked at my Dad and he looked rather sad, after all he still had to meet Leo. "I'll wake him up; he's been asleep the whole way here." I walked over to my car again, and opened the door.
"Wake up sweetie, we are here." I whispered to Leo. Leo slowly opened his eyes, and looked at me.
"Hi Momma." He said to me, his voice still thick with sleep.
"Hey baby. Did you have a nice nap?"
"I did. Thanks Momma. Are we at Grandpa's house?"
"Yeah. That's why I woke you up sweetie."
Leo peered around me and his face broke out into a smile. Then he looked at me again. "Grandpa?" He said.
"Yes, Leo. That's Grandpa." I unstrapped him from the car seat and held him on my hip, and walked back over to my Dad, who was now looking rather shocked.
"Dad. This is Leo."
Leo looked at my father and just continued to smile at him.
"Hi there Leo." Charlie whispered.
"Hi Grandpa! It's nice to meet you" Leo grinned at Charlie.
Charlie looked at me. "He looks just like you Bells."
"He looks more like Danny." I told my Dad bluntly. I wasn't bothered, my Dad had no idea what Danny looked like.
"Do you wanna go inside? I'll get your stuff from the car."
"Okay. Thanks Dad. Come on Leo let's go inside."
"Okay Momma." Leo said as he hugged my neck.
I walked up the steps of the house and sighed as I walked indoors. Nothing has changed since I was last here. What a surprise. I walked over the living room and sat on the couch, putting Leo next to me.
"Are you okay Leo?"
"Yes Momma. I'm tired still though" Just as he said that, he yawned. I laughed. "You can back to sleep soon, it's almost bed time."
"I took them into your room for you, Bells."
"Okay. Thanks Dad"
I looked at Leo. He had fallen asleep again, against my arm. I laughed.
"Is Leo asleep again?" I just nodded at my Dad. "He really is gorgeous, Bells." I smiled at my Dad. "I know" I said back.
"How old is he now then?"
"Two, he's three in about 4 months though" My Dad just smiled at me. I know he's still trying to come to terms with the fact he has a grandchild. I also know he's disappointed in me. It isn't hard to read that on his face. I was only 15 when I had Leo after all. I heaved a sigh.
"Sorry Dad." He looked at me with a very confused expression on his face.
"Why are you sorry Bella?"
"For making you disappointed in me." I sighed again.
"I'm not disappointed in you Bella. I'm just still trying to come to terms with it all." Charlie said and then laughed. "I'm sure I'll get used to it soon." I grinned at my Dad.
"Thanks Dad. He doesn't even know you and already adores you."
My Dad's face lit up at the sound of that. "After I told him we were coming to live here for a little while, he couldn't stop talking about it" I laughed.
I took that moment to look at my watch; I tried to think back to whether I had changed it because of the time difference. I had. That's okay then. It was 7.30pm already! Wow! Time flies when you're having fun. I laughed at myself for that comment.
"I better put Leo to bed and then we can talk some more, if you want too?"
"Sure Bells." My Dad was engrossed in the Television, so I doubt he even heard what I said.
I tried to pick Leo up as carefully as I could without waking him, but wasn't successful.
"Momma?" Leo said sleepily.
"I'm taking you to bed baby." I walked up the stairs into my old bedroom, which also hadn't changed. Except for the fact there was no a crib in the room as well. I laid Leo on my bed whilst I got his pyjamas out his suitcase. I found them and quickly changed Leo into them.
"But Momma, I want the dinosaur ones." Leo said quietly to me.
"You can wear the Dinosaur ones tomorrow night." I picked Leo up and again and laid him in his crib.
"Go to sleep now baby. I love you."
"I love you too Momma." I kissed his forehead softly and walked out of the room after turning on the nightlight.
Now all I had to do was do some serious explaining to my Father. I continued to think about what I was going to say as I walked down the stairs. I walked into the sitting room and sat on the sofa.
"Right Dad. Let's talk". Here goes nothing I thought to myself.
