A New Beginning.
Chapter Two: Q&A
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.
My Dad looked up from the TV, and for the first time ever he actually turned it off in the middle of a sports game. I'm not sure what kind of sport it was actually. Basketball?
"What did you want to talk about Bells?"
"What do you think Dad?" I asked. I was very nervous and it was probably showing.
"Ah. I see." Let's give the man a round of applause shall we?
"What do you already know Dad?" I knew that he knew some of the basics, but not all of it. We also needed to talk about what would happen once I got to school next week.
"Your mother told me the basics."
"The basics being…?" I actually knew the basics, obviously. I just needed my Dad to talk to me. I know he's disappointed in me, he just needs to understand.
"What happened once you got p-pregnant. What happened between you and that scumbag you once called your boyfriend." Ouch. That one hurt. Danny hadn't really done anything wrong, except left me when I was about 6 months pregnant. Yeah, okay he had done something wrong.
"Mom told you why I decided to keep Leo, didn't she?" I asked this one very nervously. I didn't want to have to explain this to my father.
"No. She never really mentioned that one. Bella don't be so nervous. I'm not as disappointed in you as you think I am. I'm just worried about you." Was it showing the much? Was it that obvious I was so nervous? It must have been, because this made me blush.
"Sorry Dad. I just know how hard this is on you." Hard on him? What I am on tonight? I am that tired?
"Hard on me?" Charlie asked this in a very confused tone. "This isn't hard on me Bells, it's just hard to get used too. I just need to get to know Leo a bit more and it will all fall into place." I smiled at this. My Dad was never one for talking about his feelings, and neither was I really. It was nice to be able to talk to him about this.
"Thanks Dad." I smiled at him again. I was a bit less nervous, except I still thought my heart was about to fly out of my chest. "Leo is the best thing to happen to me in a long time. We just need to sort things out."
"You know his father left you Bells?" Haha. No? Really? Well done Mr. Obvious.
"Yeah, I know that Dad." I laughed a little bit at this.
"Is he still interested in Leo?" It was nice to hear Charlie use Leo's name.
"Not really. When he left me, he told me that it was because he wasn't ready for it all, I don't know how he thought I was." I winced as I said this. "Danny sends me regular e – mails asking how he's doing and he sends birthday presents and cards and at Christmas as well. He just doesn't seem that interested in meeting up with Leo. When he was first born, he saw him a few times but then it kinda stopped. Danny knows that he can come and see Leo whenever he wants to. He just isn't interested. Then again, it could be Danny's mom that is stopping him. She never liked me and blamed it all on me. Danny would never admit to anything like that though." Wow. That was a lot to say! I smiled at Charlie. He must have been thinking about what I just said, he didn't say anything for a while.
"Why he wouldn't want to be interested in him is beyond me."
"It was hard for him. Even though it was harder for me. We are still on a friendly basis, but him leaving me just when I needed him didn't really help." Charlie laughed. Laughing? Maybe it was a sarcastic laugh.
"Stupid Boy. He doesn't know what he's missing." Awwwwww, how cute was that?
"Thanks Dad. I know" Now onto other things. "So… when does school start?"
"Next week, Monday I think. I registered you and everything all ready you just need to turn up." I have a week? That's okay. Me and Leo can get used to things a little bit before I have to rush off and leave him.
"Okay. Thanks. I'm a bit worried though." Mainly about what people will say about me. Don't get me wrong, I was used to the name – calling and the stares back in Phoenix, but being in a new place makes it scarier.
"It will be fine Bells. Trust me. Everybody already knows you around here. They shouldn't have that much to say. And if they do, it will only be good things. As for Leo, until we get some sort of permanent care thing sorted. He can come to work with me." Wow. Really? I wasn't expecting that.
"Dad…"
"Bella its fine. It's my police station after all." Charlie was the Police Chief at Forks Police Station. This did help a little bit.
"If you're sure. Mom sent me with some money to help me out for a little while anyway." I adored my Mom, she was my best friend and then one who had helped me with Leo in the first place. She was my life saviour. Literally.
"She didn't need to do that." Charlie looked a bit peeved at that. Oops.
"It's okay. I tried to tell her that. She insisted. You know what Mom is like. Thanks though Dad. I couldn't do this without you." I really was that grateful. I was here so I could go to school and still keep Leo with me; Charlie was helping me actually do that.
"It's okay Bells. I only want the best for you both."
"I'm going to go to bed now. I'm super tired. I'll unpack and get stuff sorted in the morning." I got up and walked over towards my Dad and hugged him. He seemed a bit taken aback but I was that grateful towards him at the moment.
"Night Bells."
"Night Dad." I looked at my watch just as I was half way up the stairs. 8.30pm?! Just then I heard the TV start up again.
I walked in my room quietly and walked over towards Leo in his crib, and looked at him sleeping.
Leo looks like me a little bit. He has my brown eyes and my shaped face. But the rest is all his Dad. Leo has blonde hair, with a few brown streaks in it. Brown eyes and my heart – shaped face. He is small for his age but that's only because he was premature when he was born. He is gorgeous. But then again so is his Dad really. I laughed at myself quietly for that comment. I bent down and kissed Leo softly on the forehead.
"I Love you Leo" I whispered. I walked over towards my bed and grabbed my pyjamas from my suitcase, grabbed my bag of toiletries and quietly walked into the bathroom. Put my pyjama's on and brushed my teeth. I walked quietly back to my room and crawled into my bed. I turned off the bedside lamp and snuggled into the duvet cover. I took one last look at my sleeping angel and drifted off to sleep, ready to start a brand – new life, with just me & Leo. Here in Forks.
A/N: I hope you like this chapter! Please review! They make me happy! I hope everybody likes the story line. The next chatper will probably skip to the day when Bella starts at the school.
