BPOV

The first day of school is always something to remember. Mine was having a third and fifth grader say girls couldn't climb a jungle gym.

Daddy said no leaving the big stairs until he got there, but I am the only kid sitting here. This is boring. I puffed my cheeks hopping from the second step. I saw them, the really big boy was hanging upside down. I could do that!

The other kid with yellow hair was shaking his head and laughing. I ran over to them they could be my friends daddy said I would make friends at school.

"Hi!"

"Ugh, what do you want shorty?" The big one made a funny noise still hanging.

"I'm Bella," I said sticking my hand out to the yellowed hair kid. Daddy always said shake hands when you meet people.

"That's Emmett and I'm Jasper," he smiled shaking my hand.

"That's cool," I pointed to Emmett.

"Yeah, he always hangs from up there," he said glancing back to me. "I like your shirt."

"I love Spiderman!" I told him cause I really did.

"You're a girl, girls don't like Spiderman," Emmett laughed.

"I can climb that," I walked over to the bars and started up it.

"Bella you might get hurt," Jasper said tugging at my shirt. "Girls shouldn't play on this."

"Girls can climb, I can climb this!" Emmett was on the ground now and was standing next to Jasper. "She'll get scared," he told him.

My arm was hurting, but I could climb this. I moved my hand, but I wasn't close enough. "She is so going to fall," Emmett, laughed again. I wanted to hit him so bad.

That's when I fell hard and my arm was hurting. It hurt so bad, worse than when Mommy would pull on it.

"Don't cry, don't cry," the soft voice said to me.

My eyes were fuzzy and wet. I hated crying. Mommy made me cry and every time I did, she would yell and hurt me.

I wiped my eyes and saw apples or his eyes looked like apples. He was so… I don't know he looked nice. He pushed his glasses on his nose and his hair was really messy like he had a nap.

"Can you sit up?" he asked in a whisper.

Why was he being so quiet? "Why are you whispering?" I sniffled with a whisper.

"I'm not whispering."

"Yes you are, silly boy," I giggled, but my arm hurt again.

"You're hurt," he said with a sad face.

"My arm," I cried.

"I'm going to punch Emmett," he said in a mean voice.

"No, hitting is bad." It really was.

"He made you climb that stupid thing," he sounded like a lion and I giggled.

"No, I wanted to." Because I did. "Is Emmett your friend?"

"Brother," he said in a serious voice.

"Oh, well him and Jasper are my friends," I explained. "So you're my friend."

"I'm your friend?" his eyes got really big.

"Duh, but you got to tell me your name."

"Edward," he was looking at my arm.

"Edward can you help my arm?"

"What's your name?"

"Bella."

"I like that name," he smiled helping my bum off the dirty ground. "Mrs. Cope is near the door."

He took my hand and walked me to Mrs. Cope, the tary. She was real worried and said she had to let the nurse see my arm. Daddy was going to be mad and Edward said he wasn't going to leave me.

Daddy let Edward go to the hospital with us and talked to Edward's mommy on the phone at school. Edward's daddy was at the hospital waiting for us.

"Edward what happened?" he asked getting in front of Edward.

"Em made her climb the monkey bars," Edward puffed.

"Carlisle I think her arm's broken," Daddy told him. He was holding me so my arm wouldn't hurt.

"Hello Isabella," Edward's daddy smiled big and it was nice like Edward's.

"Bella," I told him cause I only got called Isabella when I was in big trouble.

"Here let Dr. Cullen see your arm, Bells," Daddy said.

"It hurts."

"I know that's why I need to see it, princess." He called me princess! He thought I was a princess!

I really like Dr. Cullen he was nice like Daddy and Daddy said he was his friend so he could be my friend too.

"Some first day, Bells," Daddy laughed while he drove his big truck.

I looked at my green arm, like Edward's eyes. "I made lots of friends!" Cause I did!

I felt hands on Carl as I was making breakfast. "What are you thinking about?"

"First days of school," I said simply, leaning into Edward.

"You getting nostalgic on me, Cullen?" he kissed my neck.

"Something like that," I sighed contentedly. "I get to walk Kenz to her class."

"We both do," he grinned against me, it felt forced.

"I hope her first day is better than her last one."

"That's erased from her Firsts."

"It is?"

"Yes."

"My first day of school was such a mess," I playfully groaned, flipping the French toast.

"Take that back," Edward growled and nipped at my neck.

"I broke my arm, it was traumatic," I giggled.

"I remember you being friends with anyone in a five-mile radius."

"I was only friends with you, Em, and Jazz."

"And Carlisle, though I thought you liked my dad more than me."

"Look at me now," I grinned, shutting off the stove and turning in his arms.

"Look at you now," he murmured kissing me slowly.

"I love you," I breathed

"I love you, Bella more than life," he said softly.

"I want to fuck you so bad, but we need to get ready and you have to go to Alice's shoot, then we have our 'family' appointment," I rambled trying to get dirty Edward images out of my mind.

"As enticing as that sounds I agree we need to get going," he smirked pressing his lips to mine.

I slowly made my way upstairs when I realized the quietness in my house. Hendrix was still downstairs with Edward. It was his job to take her out, so where was my loud girl?

Her door was opened and she seemed to have a nice pile of clothes lying on her bed. "Monk, what's this?" I gestured to her mess.

"I can't find anything pretty," she mumbled pushing her hair out of her eyes.

"You want help," I offered.

"I'm a big girl I can do it," she scowled. Okay then. Edward got her convinced about this big girl phase a couple days ago.

"Then by all means," I said sticking my hands up in defense and carefully sat on her bed.

She pulled out two sundresses and frowned. "It's cold?"

"It is," I nodded trying not to laugh before I made a suggestion. "How about pants and a t-shirt?"

"That's not pretty," she was such a girly girl. I wore boys t-shirts until I was thirteen and the girls in school started harassing me about it. "What would you pick?"

So I wasn't allowed to offer help I had to be asked for it. "Hmm, I like this blue flower dress and theses jeans," holding up her little person skinny jeans.

"That's pretty!" she squealed, as I started to get her dressed. "Mommy can you do my hair?"

"Of course," I grinned, pulling her curls out of her face.

Once she was skipping down the driveway with her Stones book bag, it hit me I was actually taking her to her first day of school. Edward squeezed my fingers before helping me into the car.

"Mommy will Cruella be there?"

"She works there Kenz, but she won't be your teacher."

"Miss Angie is?"

"Yes," I smiled back at her. We really lucked out when my former assistant was able to teach at her school. Not to mention Esme helped.

Angela went to school for elementary education, but at the time no one was hiring. That's when she got the temp job at my office. The rest is now history and I feel a million times better knowing who she would be with during the day.

"I like her lots," she told us.

"That's great then because she likes you too," Edward replied enthusiastically.

His act was really Oscar worthy, but he was a fool to think he had me convinced. His hand was visibly twitching against the steering wheel. The bags under his eyes and his restless sleep last night were all a dead give away. I took his hand, placing it on Carl and his body relaxed.

We drove in silence like that until my new favorite goofy grin grew on Edward's face. The goofy grin almost had as much effect as the crooked smile.

"Carl's kicking."

"Carl is indeed kicking," I shifted trying to get comfortable.

"Be easy on Mommy," he scolded lightly as we pulled into the lot.

Kenzie stayed in Edward's arms until we reached her class. She saw a group of little girls surrounding what looked like a miniature diva with blonde ringlet curls. We just had to send her to a private school. I rolled my eyes, but what surprised me is that Kenz ran over to the little girl with straight black hair and glasses at the table next to the diva. She was flipping through The Cat in the Hat pretending to read it the little girl was adorable.

"She made a new friend," Edward murmured in my ear.

"Bella, Edward," Angela beamed.

"Ang, this suits you," I smiled.

"And that suits you," she gestured to my stomach.

"Thank you, even though I'm enormous," I whined.

"You're perfect," Edward kissed my cheek.

"Ben needs to hang around you Edward, then maybe you can teach him how to be romantic," she snorted.

"We can do like a sixth grade group date," I said excitedly.

"Sixth grade group date? Really?" he scoffed.

"That's what I said," I frowned at his picking.

"I see the baby has mommy's emotions by the reins," Angela giggled adjusting her glasses.

"You have no idea," he muttered and I elbowed him.

"How's Emily?" she was Angela's six month old daughter.

"She's growing like crazy, but at least with me here she'll have a good school to attend," she joked. She was right though, Emily's tuition would be paid in full.

"You need to bring her over."

"Definitely, sorry I have to talk to the rest of the parents, see you guys at two," she hugged me.

"Bye, Ang," I hugged her back.

We went over to Kenz and her new friend Chloe and said our goodbyes. "They're so cute," I mumbled into Edward's shoulder as we walked down the hall.

"You're going to cry?" I nodded into him.

"Bella," I heard the nails on a chalkboard voice.

"Oh god," I moaned clutching on to Edward.

"Jessica, can you please leave us alone?" he sighed.

"He's too polite. What he's trying to tell you is fuck off," I grumbled.

"You both had my teaching questioned and I don't appreciate that," she huffed.

"And you made a pass at my husband," I shot back.

"So you're … like married now," she scowled.

"Like my name is Mrs. Cullen, he gave me this ring at our wedding, and this…" I pointed to Carl. "Is what happens when you're married."

"I know you hate me for the amazing sex Edward and I had…" she started smugly.

"Oh, you mean the amazing sex where you gave him syph?" I laughed humorlessly.

I did a quick scan of the hall; thank God there was no one in sight. It would be awkward going to PTA meetings or whatever it is moms have to do with everyone knowing that tidbit of information.

"You told her?" Jessica's shrill voice cut through my ears.

"Okay trouble, I think it's time we get you out of here," Edward said tugging me along with him.

"I just said all that out loud?"

"You did," he snickered.

"You knew I knew?"

"You said and I quote 'Oh my god, your syph dick has been inside of me' that night oh so long ago when I brought you home from Emmett's bar," he said wistfully.

"I don't remember that," I frowned digging my brain for that.

"I do," he grinned widely.

We went our separate ways once we reached the house. I spent most of the day editing a war novel that was completely clichéd. Why is it I only get these satiric clichéd pieces of shit books on my plate? Maybe I should start writing…

"Bella, let's get our girl," Edward called from the foyer.

I struggled getting up. "Help would be nice," I yelled in frustration.

"I'm sorry beautiful," he chuckled wrapping an arm around my back and resting his other hand just under my round belly.

"That hand goes any lower we won't be leaving anytime soon," I warned because my big cow ass was horny for this delicious specimen of man in front of me.

"Delicious specimen," he smirked. Damn internal monologue.

"We're going to be late," I waddled ahead of him. His long legs had him catching up in no time though.

I could see Edward struggling as we drove, I made a mental note to ask Alice how he was today. I unfortunately received my answer when we walked into the classroom. Edward walked straight to Kenz and scooped her into his arms.

Angela was beside me in an instant. "He called the school seven times today," she whispered so no one else heard.

"Are you freakin' kidding me?" Had to keep it G-rated for the kiddies.

"If he wasn't so dazzling I don't think Maggie would have let him," she chuckled lightly.

"The problem is this isn't cute or funny, he's been like this since Renee took her. We have an appointment after school to see a family therapist."

"I'm sorry," she said sympathetically.

"No it will be good, he has to leave for Iraq soon, so he needs this."

"Mackenzie shared with the class what he did, I have old National Geographic magazines here, she actually knows his work," she said with disbelief.

"That's sounds about right, he shows her his photography all the time, she even hangs some of it on her walls," I smiled, glancing over to him.

Edward was sitting on a little chair that made him look ridiculous; Kenzie was perched on his lap. The thing that made me melt was Chloe was quietly telling him a story and he interacted with her like every word she spoke held importance.

"Mackenzie is an angel Bella," Angela said.

"Give her time," I laughed.

"No, she really is. A group of girls were picking on Chloe and Mackenzie wasn't having it. They wanted her to play with them instead of Chloe, but she lectured them about how it's not nice to leave others out."

"That is all her Nana."

"I asked her about it and she said that her Mommy tells her to be nice to nice people."

"She said that?"

"She is one of the sweetest children I've ever met."

"That's why we keep her around," I teased.

I waddled over to the three of them, catching the end of Chloe's conversation.

"Hi."

"Hi Mommy!" Kenz squealed standing up on Edward's legs to give me a hug. Good thing she was light, she had ballet flats on so the weight from that wouldn't hurt him.

"You have a good day, monk?" She nodded against my neck. I wished I could pick her up and hold her.

"Chloe we had a good day, right?" Chloe nodded shyly.

"Do you need help cleaning up your stuff Chloe?" Edward asked noticing her books scattered on the table. He helped Kenz down and she took my hand.

"She can read," she whispered loudly.

"She can?"

"Yep, her nanny showed her," she explained. "What's a nanny?"

I glanced at Edward who was helping the little girl with her books and turned back to Kenzie. "A nanny is like a babysitter. They watch kids whose Mommy and Daddy work all day."

"I don't have a nanny."

"And you don't need one," I smiled tapping the tip of her nose.

"See you tomorrow Chloe!" Kenz all but screamed giving her new friend a bear hug.

Once we were situated in the car, Kenzie told us all about her epic first day. She told us about the diva whose name was Morgan and about a boy who said her smile was like Barbie's; Edward tightened the steering wheel at that.

The therapist's office wasn't scary it was very kid friendly. We sat in Alec's office waiting for him. Apparently, he was a golf buddy with Jazz. I wanted to fucking know when Jazz started playing golf because I didn't believe that for a second.

A tall man with dirty blonde hair entered room. He looked to be about Edward's age and he smiled kindly.

"Hi I'm Alec," he said holding his hand out to Edward then me.

"I'm Bella and Mr. Grump is Edward." I giggled as Edward's sneer grew.

"Daddy is being grumpy," Kenz agreed from his lap.

"He is?" she confirmed with a nod. "What's your name pretty girl?"

"Mackenzie Carlie Cullen, I'm four, but almost five," she totally gushed. The look on her face made me think she thought he was prince charming.

"So Bella you explained some things to me on the phone, Edward what are your thoughts about what happened in Florida?"

"I want to observe today rather than discuss," he mumbled.

I scowled at this, was he serious? But Alec was a smart man and used the Kenzie card. "Mackenzie what happened when you went with you Nana and Gramps?"

"To see Mickey?" she asked.

"Yes, when you rode the air plane with Nana and Gramps what happened?"

"The lady that looked like Mommy took my hand hard. It hurt lots, I got away from her, and took Mommy's phone out."

"How did you feel when the lady took you?"

"I think this is enough," Edward said his voice rough as he turned his gaze to the window.

But she continued. "I was scared, but I talked to Mommy and she had the lady and man find me, they looked like Pap."

"Who is Pap?"

"My Pap," she shrugged like it was obvious. "He has a cool car with flashys."

"My dad is the Chief of Police in our hometown," I explained.

"I see," Alec smiled he was oddly comforting. "How did you feel Bella?"

"Like I couldn't move. Hearing her so alone and scared like that ripped my heart out of my chest. I had to stay calm though because of Carl."

"How far along are you?"

"Twenty weeks," I grinned.

"You were in a car accident eight month ago?"

"Yes."

"What were the injuries?"

"I broke my pelvis, arm, and nose."

"So this pregnancy is high risk?"

"The doctor is monitoring it, but I will be going on bed rest very soon."

"Edward I know you said you were observing, but would you like to contribute on your thoughts about the pregnancy?"

"Let's be honest, I don't want to be here. I'm fine, they're fine, and we're all fine. I'm here because Bella asked me and I would follow her to the ends of the earth, universe, existence, etc… but right now you're only pissing me off." He ended his rant, even though he kept it semi-calm due to the child he was holding.

"You're not fine when you call a school seven times in one day," I spat as his eyes widened. "Oh, I know about that, so are you going to throw out an excuse about that?"

He looked down as he should and Alec had a slight smirk on his face. The remainder of the session was mostly Kenzie and Alec talking about her world. As soon as the appointment was declared over, Edward was out of there with Kenzie in the blink of an eye.

"Jasper said you were ballsy," Alec chuckled.

"I've been keeping him in line for twenty years so why soften up now?"

"My wife would agree with you."

"She gets it," I exclaimed playfully.

"Really Bella, how are you?"

"I'm tired, it's like everything is hitting us at once. I wish Edward would calm down because he's going to have a heart attack before he's thirty," I sighed.

"Maybe you should have Jasper or Emmett talk to him," he suggested.

"Emmett?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Golf," he smiled sheepishly.

"You're blowing my mind with this information," I giggled. "But your right, Emmett might be the better out of the two."

"You have my number, call if you need to talk."

"Thanks Alec."

"It was nice to meet the famous Bella," he said seriously. What have Jasper and Emmett told him?

Edward met me at the waiting room door. He took my hand and kissed it before pulling me into his side. What was I going to do with him?
