Chapter 3
BPOV
I dumped mine and Sophie's luggage on the bed while Charlie carried her in my room. Charlie loves Sophie to death and would do anything for his granddaughter.
"So, do you want to sleep now since you have school tomorrow?" he asked.
"Yeah, I am kind of tired," I said, taking Sophie from him.
"Okay," he said.
"So you won't mind watching Sophie until I can get a babysitter?" I asked.
"Sure, Bells. Just come home after school and she'll be here. I won't leave until you have her," he said. Charlie will watch her while I'm at school and then I would take over while he goes to work. Just until I have a babysitter.
"Thanks, Dad," I said.
I laid sleeping Sophie down in her crib and went to my bed. I fell asleep instantly, having nightmares like I do every night since Edward had died.
The next morning I woke up to Sophie giggling. I turned over and looked at her. She was on her side, looking at me.
Sophie is always a happy baby. She hardly ever cries. Elizabeth said Edward hardly ever cried, so that's where Sophie got that from. Elizabeth and Edward Sr., were excited to know they were grandparents. They loved Sophie so much and helped out when she was born. They visited her all the time, because it was their only connection to Edward. Elizabeth made me promise to keep in touch with them on how Sophie was doing and to visit as much as I could.
I got up and went over to her.
"Morning, baby," I said, putting my finger in her little hand. She giggled again.
I got ready while Sophie watched from her crib. When I was ready to go, I grabbed her and took her downstairs. I set her in her play pen across from where Charlie was.
"Morning, Bells," he said.
"Morning, Dad," I said.
"You excited about school?" he asked.
"Excited as I'll ever be," I said heading to the kitchen.
After getting some food, kissing my dad and Sophie goodbye, and getting a good luck from Charlie, I headed into my old red truck Charlie got for me and drove to school.
Forks High School wasn't hard to find. I parked and turned my monster of a truck off. I noticed I wasn't the only person with an old car. But there was a very nice looking car.
It was a silver Volvo across the parking lot from me. Those people must be rich. There were kids all in the parking lot staring at me. I blushed and walked to the office.
I ignored the whispers and stares I was getting. This was a small town that has a lot of gossip. Chief Swan's daughter has came back to Forks. Oh, look, she has a daughter herself. That tramp.
That's probably what everyone thinks of me. I walked into the office and got my schedule. I walked to my first period class. I was late and had to sit in the back. Everyone stared at me as I walked to my seat.
I sat by a pixie girl. She was pale with golden eyes and short spiky hair. She was really beautiful and made me feel plain sitting next to her. She grinned widely at me as I sat down.
"Hello, I'm Alice Cullen," she said.
"Bella Swan," I said, smiling at her.
"It's nice to meet you," she said.
I noticed everyone was looking at us curiously. Even the teacher.
"What?" Alice snapped at them all.
They all whispered and continued to stare, which made me blush even harder than I already was.
"Is it true that you have a daughter?" someone blurted out. I froze.
"I heard she had twins," someone else called out. Soon, the whole room was filled with chatter.
"Quiet down everyone," the teacher said.
My eyes started watering. I had to get out of here. I raised my hand and asked to go to the bathroom. When I was in the bathroom, I went into a stall and locked the door.
"Bella?" I heard a familiar voice call out. It was Alice.
I unlocked the stall door and opened it. She saw my tears and ran to hug me. This was weird. I didn't even know her and she hugs me.
"Ssh, it's okay, Bella," she said.
"Why do they judge me based off that?" I sobbed.
"Because they're all to nosy and vile," she said.
I wiped my tears away when Alice pulled away.
"Now come on. Let's get you fixed up and back to class," she said. She stayed with me while I washed my face.
I learned that she had siblings and a boyfriend here. They were all adopted. I learned she had a new sibling who her parents adopted a few months ago. She told me I could sit with them at lunch and meet them all. I thanked her and walked back to class with her.
When 1st period let out, Alice walked me to my 2nd period. I met a nice girl in there. Her name was Angela Weber and she didn't seem to care about the rumors and everyone staring at us. I asked her why and she said she didn't care if I had a child or not. I seemed really sweet and someone nice to hang out with. I thanked her and told her I would see her later.
When lunch came, Alice was standing outside my room. I found it weird she knew where it was seeing as I didn't tell her, but I shrugged it off.
I followed her with my tray of food and sat down. 3 others came and sat down next to Alice. They all looked at me weird.
One was big and intimidating with brown curly hair and pale skin. He had his arm wrapped around a girl with long blonde hair who belonged on a runway. The other sat by Alice and he had blonde hair. And the weird thing was, they all had golden eyes like Alice.
Alice introduced me to them. The big one was Emmett, the goddess was Rosalie Hale and her twin Jasper Hale. Emmett was with Rosalie and Jasper was with Alice.
"So, you're the chief's daughter," Emmett stated.
"Yes," I said shyly.
"Do you really have a daughter?" he asked.
Rosalie slapped him across the back of his head and Alice just glared at him.
"You don't have to answer that, Bella," Alice said.
"No, it's okay," I said turning to Emmett. "Yes, I do. Her name is Sophie," I said.
Emmett smiled. Not a taunting smile like he was making fun of me. An actually warm, cheeky smile.
"So when do I get to meet the little bugger. I get along with them great," he said. I just gape at him. He wanted to meet her?
"You don't think I'm a tramp?" I asked.
He looked confused.
"No, I think its sweet that you have a daughter and can still stay in school. You must be one tough mother to do both," he stated.
I smiled a watery smile at him.
"Thanks," I said to him.
"No problem," he said.
"What does she look like?" Rosalie asked with a dreamy like voice.
I pulled out a picture from my wallet and handed it to them to look at. These are some nice people to not base me on how I have a child.
They all looked at the picture of me and Sophie with love in their eyes. It was the one where my mother took of me and Sophie after she was born at the hospital.
Alice looked at it with a questioning glance, like she was trying to piece something together.
"What's her name?" Rosalie asked.
"Sophie," I said, when she handed me the picture back.
"Where's Edward?" Emmett asked.
That name made me flinch.
"Who's that?" I asked.
"Our brother," Jasper said.
Just then the door to the cafeteria opened. I didn't look up from my food to see who it was.
"There he is," Alice said.
I heard a chair move and someone sit down. I looked up to meet the 5th Cullen and froze when I met 2 golden eyes.
