Bella was in her tent pouting. She did not want to go to a muggle school. Also she was seriously stressed about living with her muggle father. Bella knew nothing about her parents except for the fact that she lived with her mother's family. The Diggorys only told Bella that her family was unable to care for her because of the war with He who shall not be named.

When Bella was younger she was absolutely devastated about being abandoned. Bella had a good childhood she thought. She was well provided for and she had a great magical education. Cederic and Bella had a good friendship she thought or at least he understood her she thought. However her aunt and uncle were somewhat distant.

Yet here Bella was getting ready to go live with her actual dad. Bella was freaking out. Why was this pertinent information kept from her? That her dad was alive and is a muggle. Bella rationalized that there were two possibilities: one, her father new of her world and couldn't deal; two, her mother kept very large secrets from her father and left him. Bella knew that there could be some variations to the story but either way it came down to her dad leaving or her mom separating them.

Bella decided that as of right now there wasn't much more that she could do then wait for the end of the week to arrive and to keep watch. Also it was the middle of the school year. So it was going to be even more big news of her arrival. Since the school was very small, to Bella's standards, Bella knew that she was going to be the center of attention. That was going to put a very big snag in Bella's plans.

She wanted to keep blending in to the surroundings. Not draw more attention to herself. Yet she was going to have to adapt. As Bella went outside her tent one more time to check on the Cullens one last time before she went to bed. It was twilight and Bella quickly transformed and climbed up the tree.

Edward was at the piano, Carlisle wasn't home, Esme was in the library, Rosalie and Emmett well they were busy having sex, and Jasper was in the library with Alice. Things were normal and Bella didn't since anybody approaching. She climbed right back down the tree and went into her tent. As soon as she was in, Bella went to the bathroom to begin her bedtime ritual to go to bed. She would figure things out in the morning.

Bella was standing at the airport waiting for her father to come pick her up. Apparently to account for the age gap her father was tricked into thinking that she was 18 and not her actual age of 20. Besides she also knew that no one was going to question it because she really didn't look any different than when she was 18. She didn't feel that she had the sharper features of adulthood that one loses when they are in there twenty's. Bella decided to chalk this to that she would age gracefully.

Prof. McGonagall sent her another letter explaining what was told to her father; so at least she would know what her cover story was.

Bella had packed everything up early this morning and put it all in a suitcase. She hoped by having that instead of her backpack that it would look more appropriate. She was standing outside on the curb. Since she didn't actually fly in she felt it would be better if she didn't step into the airport.

Bella was looking around and as she was watching cars come in she saw what looked like a police car come in. As it stopped a few feet away from her and the driver got out, Bella realized that this was her dad, Charlie. He had the same dark curly hair as her. It also appeared as that she got some of her features from him, as well.

Charlie turned towards her and started walking towards her. Bella's heart was starting to beat a mile a minute. She was nervous and she had no clue what to say. He stopped right in front of her and just looked. His hands were twitching just as Bella's were. Bella put a smile on her face and stated, "We have a similar twitch?" Charlie smiled, "Yes it seems we do? Well my car is this way."

Bella bent down to pick up her suitcase but Charlie took it from her. Bella was surprised. No one besides the house elves has ever helped her. Yet, Bella just followed along and watched as he put the suitcase in the trunk of the car. Then went up to get in the passenger side of the car but it was the driver side. Charlie was behind her and stated, "I didn't know you wanted to drive, but um I can't let you drive the cruiser." Bella laughed, "um no, I thought I was going to the passenger side, but um you guys apparently drive on the other side of the road."

Bella quickly kept going to get in the passenger side seat. Embarrassed, Bella knew that the cars were different yet she just wasn't thinking. Her stress levels were through the roof. As she got in the car Bella took in her surroundings. There was many smaller box like things in the car. Bella was astonished, she didn't know what this stuff was, but she bet that she was supposed to know. Oh well as long as it doesn't come up in conversation.

Charlie got in the car and put it in drive to begin the hour long trip to get back to Forks. Charlie was busy tapping the steering wheel. Bella could tell that he was nervous, not that she could blame him. They have not had any communication in all her life. All of a sudden he spoke, "Look Bella, I know we don't have a relationship and considering to me that you are of age; I'm going to take it as you want to get to know me and that is why you're here. I'm a very simple man, who works a lot and likes to go fishing. I'm glad that you're here." Bella was astonished, Charlie gave a huge olive branch and she was going to take it.

Bella thought about what she was going to say and since her cover story had a lot of truth in it she was going to stick with that, "I grew up with my Aunt and Uncle. They were good to me but they weren't parents. Their son and I were great friends, but he was killed recently. It was only after that incident that I learned about you. I also would like to get to know you for my last year of school." Bella was happy with herself she was honest and didn't have to lie about anything. Yet what Charlie responded with just gave her that much more hope. "Bella, I'm sorry about what happened with your cousin. I also wish I knew what happened with you. I looked for your mom after she disappeared. I didn't know she was pregnant and if I knew I would have loved to have you in my life. I'm sorry that we never got to have that opportunity, but we have it now and I will make the most of it."

"Thank you, Charlie." Bella was ecstatic and now she knew some of the truth. It was her mom that made the big decisions about her life and her father wanted her. That meant a lot. Charlie turned a knob in the dash and music began to play. This was the third time that she was ever in a car and now she realized that this must be radio.

It wasn't that much longer that they arrived in Forks. Bella was glad that she at least knew her way around and that her father didn't really live far from the main part of town. He was just on a side street. When they arrived at the house, Charlie got out and headed towards the boot of the car. He grabbed her suitcase and he started to speak, "It isn't much but its home. I am going to show you your room and let you unpack." Bella was out of the car and following Charlie into the house.

The house was two stories and it was off white. Probably needing to be repainted, also it had a porch on the front. As she walked up and inside the house, Bella was actually anxious to see where she could've potentially have grown up. There was an entry area with a closet. As she kept following Charlie through it opened up to the living room. There was an old couch and recliner facing a big black reflective plane that was on the wall. Off to the left, is where the stairway that went upstairs was. That is the direction Charlie was going and she was right behind him.

There were two doors on the left at the top of the stairs, one at the end of the hall and one on the right. Charlie stopped at the first one on the left and opened the door. "I hope you like purple", Charlie started, "the saleslady at the store said purple was a favorite of teenage girls." Bella looked at the room; there was a bed in front of her. It had actually a really nice dark solid purple comfiture with light colored purple sheets. On the opposite wall was a desk with one of those box machines that the library had. Next to the desk was a rocking chair. On the perpendicular wall had some book shelves and a window that faced the front yard. It had some sheer purple curtains hanging. There was a door right next to the one that led into the hallway. Bella was guessing that was where the closet was. Next to the door was a dressor.

After Bella got a good look at her new room, she turned to reply to Charlie, "yes I like purple, the room looks great. Thank you." Charlie had a light smile, "your welcome, I'm going to down stairs and watch some T.V. I will leave you to unpack." Bella watched Charlie turn to walk back downstairs. At the last moment he turned to state, "Bella the door next to yours is the bathroom that we will have to share, the end door is a linen closet and my bedroom is across from you. Just so you know." "Thanks Charlie." Bella quickly replied and was grateful to have the information.

Bella went to sit on her bed. She looked around and was oddly at peace with staying here. She decided that she was going to unpack, take a shower, and go down for dinner with Charlie. As Bella grabbed her suitcase and threw it up on the bed. She quickly unpacked her stuff. She was grateful that Charlie doesn't hover. It would be strange to have to explain how all of her stuff fit inside the suitcase.

It really didn't take her long to hang up all her clothes and put them in the closet. Then she grabbed her toiletries, went to the linen closet to grab some towels. It was time for her to have a nice long hot shower. After she got out she went back to her room and put on some lounge pants and a long sleeve t shirt. She combed out her hair, put on some moisturizer, and also some deodorant. Then she decided to join Charlie and see what a TV was.

She quietly went down the stairs and saw Charlie relaxing on the recliner. The black reflective panel from earlier apparently was a TV. Now instead of being all black there was colorful images moving around. Also sound was coming from it as well. All of a sudden it was like loud cheering coming from it and a person was slightly jogging around and slapping people's hands. Bella walked in and made herself known.

Charlie looked up and saw her. "Hey I decided to order some pizza, how does that sound?" "Well Charlie," Bella started, "I've never had pizza, but I am willing to try it." Charlie just looked at her stunned. "You've never had pizza? Well I hope you like pepperoni and cheese." Bella couldn't really believe how stunned Charlie was that she never had pizza. It seemed that it must be a staple here in America.

All of a sudden there was a ding going off in the house. Charlie quickly got up and headed to the door with a big smile on his face. Bella watched as Charlie came back with two people right behind him. An older man in a wheel chair was right behind him, with a tall dark and extremely built man. "Bella" Charlie started, "This is Billy Black and his son Jacob."

"Hi" Bella stated then she quickly went back to the couch. Bella was thinking her lucky stars that she was magical, because this boy bothered the crap out her because of his size. Bella knew that she wasn't a big person but an over 6 ft man with some serious muscles. EEP. Charlie decided to start speaking, "Since you're here, I figured you wouldn't want to be seen riding around in the chiefs car so I got you a vehicle of your own." Bella was speechless. Then she got up and followed Charlie out to the front of the house.

There in the driveway was a old truck. Bella was astounded. No one had ever got her a gift of this magnitude or of this significance. Charlie was giving Bella her independence the only way a muggle knew. "Jake," Charlie started, "could you please show Bella how it works." "Sure." Jake replied.

Bella was nervous but quickly got in the driver seat. She was also happy that she had her wand on her as well. Being trained as an Auror taught Bella to always have her wand on her. Jake was in the passenger seat and showed her how to drive an automatic truck. It only took about half an hour but Bella got the idea. Also Bella really didn't want to spend a lot of time with Jake. He made her nervous.

They decided not to stay considering that Charlie didn't order enough food to feed Jacob. Bella enjoyed her first time eating pizza. It was something that she could enjoy. Not long after did they decide to call it a night. Bella went into the bathroom to brush her teeth and go to bed. Even though tomorrow was Friday, Bella was going to be joining Forks high in the morning.

So Bella looked out her window, since there wasn't a street lamp near her house she grabbed her broom, crawled out and climbed up to the roof. Then she got on the broom and quickly went to the Cullens. Everyone was apparently busy. All the couples were enjoying themselves and obtaining sexual gratification. So Bella quickly moved to the meadow and there was Edward.

Now that she saw that he was fine for the first time today, she decided to go test out that bed for her at Charlie's. Bella quickly made it back, checked her surrounding areas. Didn't sense anybody, then she went right back through the window. Crawled in bed and just went to sleep.

The next morning Bella got up at seven. Jumped into the shower, got dressed in jeans and a fitted long sleeve t-shirt. Bella grabbed her some tennis shoes and went downstairs to grab breakfast. There wasn't much so Bella decided to have some toast and water. Then she saw a book bag with supplies and realized that this must be for her and school.

Bella made sure she had her wand, jumped into the truck, tapped it so it would work and head off to school. It was time for Bella to start her first day at Forks high and maybe meet the Cullens.

AN: This was a really long chapter, but I really wanted to get through the Charlie drama.

Since Bella didn't meet non-wolf Jake, I decided that he would have intimidated Bella being so huge.. Also since Bella is magical, she should since that something is different with Jacob.

So there will be no Bella and Jacob drama in my story. Didn't like it in the books to begin with. So enjoy and I also have been enjoying the reviews, so thanks!!!
