Chapter 15
BPOV
The next morning Sophie woke us up so Rosalie got up and took care of her while my lazy ass stayed in bed. After about fifteen minutes, I decided to go ahead and get up. I went downstairs and saw Rosalie trying to make breakfast while keeping Sophie occupied. Sophie for her part was not cooperating with her; she wanted to run around and play instead of sitting still. I go over to Sophie and pick her up then I give Rosalie a kiss and head to the living room. I keep Sophie entertained long enough for Rosalie to finish breakfast.
Once we all ate breakfast, we decided to relax around the house for a little while. At around noon, we get dressed and head out to meet everyone for lunch. We went to the diner in town and since we are the first to arrive we head to the back and get all our seats ready. We place our drink order while we are waiting. Finally everyone gets there and we are looking over our menus when I our waitress comes back over with everyone else's drinks and tells us that her shift is over and that our new waitress will be over shortly. We are all just talking while we wait for this new waitress when I hear a voice that I wish I never heard again.
"Well, well, well look who is back in town." I turn to look at the owner of the voice and see Lauren Mallory. Now when I said that Jasper, Alice, and I ran the school, that didn't happen until we met and kinda banded together and helped each other out. Before that, Lauren was my main tormenter. She hated me and all because I had a crush on her and she didn't like it. After we gained our popularity and I started to date other girls, Lauren suddenly became one of my groupies. I couldn't have been happier at the time. I mean the girl that I was crushing on for three years wanted me, so I asked her out and we started dating. After about six months, I was irritated with her. All she wanted to do was go shopping so I could buy her this or that or we were having sex, which really wasn't all that great. I eventually broke it off with her but she refused to believe it. She would follow me around and then try to interfere on my dates or threaten any girlfriends I had. I told my dad what was happening and he told me that we needed to file a restraining order and go from there.
"Hey Lauren. How are you?" I ask trying to be polite.
"Don't hey how are you me. Where have you been, I haven't seen you since graduation." Yea I kinda hide whenever I came back into town or my parents would come see me. She never really eased off of me after the restraining order.
"Oh yeah I've been busy and all that." I feel Rosalie put her hand on my thigh and I look down at her to see her smile at me. "I would like you to meet my girlfriend Rosalie and a friend of ours Emmett." I try to be polite. I know that she has met Jasper and Alice and their significant others.
"Your girlfriend? I thought that maybe we could hook up again when I saw you." Lauren says.
"I'm sorry and you are?" I hear Rosalie join this conversation. When I look at her, she does not look happy at all.
"I'm Bella's ex-girlfriend." Lauren states proudly. Why would she be proud to be my ex?
"Do you remember me telling you about that crazy stalker ex I had?" I whisper to Rosalie. I see her nod her head. "Well that's her." I see the realization on her face so I know that she knows that she has nothing to worry about.
"I remember Bella telling me about you. Why would you think she would want to see you? If you haven't seen her since graduation and that was what six years ago, what would make you think she would want to see you now?" Rosalie asks her. You've got to love her bluntness. I think to myself.
"Of course she would. My guess is that she's been too busy wherever she lives to come see me." Lauren says as if that makes the most sense in the world.
"Or she is living her life in whatever city it is with me and our daughter and not thinking about you."
"You have a daughter?!" Lauren screeches.
"Yeah. Lauren I would like you to meet my daughter Sophie." I can see that this is starting to push her away.
"Is there a problem over here?" I see a guy come over here. When I look again I see that it's my old friend Eric.
"Eric Yorkie? How are you man?" I say as I stand to give him a hug.
"Bella Swan. I never thought we would see you around here again. Didn't you move to some big city with these two yahoos here?" he asks pointing to Jasper and Alice.
"Yeah we did and we are now successful business owners. I came back to introduce my girlfriend to my parents and to see them for thanksgiving." I tell him. I see him look to Rosalie and then Sophie.
"Hey my name is Eric and I went to high school with Bella." He says as he holds his hand out to Rosalie.
"Hi. I'm Rosalie and this is my daughter Sophie."
"Damn Bella, you got a beautiful girl and a beautiful daughter."
"Thanks Eric. Hey man, you should come out with us when we go to Port Angeles?" I ask.
"Yeah that would be great."
"Okay here is my number, text me yours and I'll send you the details."
"One more thing, can we get a different waitress please?" Rosalie asks before he can walk away.
"Yeah, I'll send Shellie over. Come on Lauren."
After lunch was done, I decided that I wanted to show Rosalie and Sophie around my town. I took them to the high school and to my old job. Eventually, we made it to the park and we played with Sophie on the jungle gym.
"I want to get Sophie a jungle gym set for the house for Christmas this year." I tell Rosalie on our way home. Sophie was asleep in the backseat and it had started to rain.
"I think she would like that. When we get home we can start looking for it."
When my parents got home, my mom made dinner with Rosalie's help again and then we relaxed for the rest of the night. We followed the same pattern each day. Sometimes we would just walk around town or we would just stay home and relax as a family if it was raining. Everyone came over for dinner on Thursday night and my parents were so happy to see them all again.
Friday night came and we all headed down to La Push beach. My dad's best friend Billy was the chief of the tribe on the reservation and he invited us to go for the bomb fire. I couldn't wait to see everyone on the reservation so I was excited.
When we pulled up to the beach and we all got out. I don't think that Sophie had seen a beach before because she looked so excited. When we reached everyone, they had just started roasting hotdogs.
"Bella!" I heard my name cried by a bunch of people. When I looked up I saw Seth, Embry, Quil, and Leah all running up to me.
"Hey guys. It's so good to see you." I say as they set me back on the ground.
"We are good."
"Hey guys I want you to meet my girlfriend Rosalie and our daughter Sophie. Rosalie this is Embry, Quil, Seth, and Leah."
"It's nice to meet you guys." Rosalie says.
"Hey Leah, where's Sam?" Sam is Leah's boyfriend. They had just started dating the last time I saw her.
"Oh we broke up. I caught him screwing my cousin Emily." She says so nonchalantly.
"What! No said anything to me about this."
"Yeah, well we were only together for a couple of months. Where did you two meet?" she asks trying to change the topic. Rosalie tells them the story of how we met and my friends just turn to look at me when she mentions that I was her boss. My parents come by us and offer to take Sophie over to the fire pit for us while we talk to everyone.
"So you are one of the strippers then?" Quil says eyeing her up and down.
"Yeah."
"Hey stop checking out my girl." I say as I push him.
"What?! She's hot man." He laughs as I push him again.
We all walk down to the fire pit after that and say hi to everyone. Once introductions are done we sit down and start roasting our hotdogs. Sophie continues to sit with my parents while they roast their hotdogs and talk with Billy.
"Uh oh. Here comes trouble." Embry says while looking behind me. I turn to see who he is talking about and notice Jacob Black walking our way.
"Great I thought he moved away." I say to everyone. See Jacob use to be my best friend until he told everyone my secret and started bullying me with everyone else. When I became popular, he tried to be my friend again and when that didn't work, he would try to steal my girlfriends.
"He had to come back. I guess he lost his job and couldn't pay his rent and got kicked out so he is back to living with Billy again." Leah tells me.
"Has he been doing anything bad around here?" I ask knowing he always had a thing for Leah and use to not leave her alone.
"Yeah, he has gone back to trying to get into Leah's pants again. He's been a little aggressive but nothing bad, bad." Seth tells me.
"Hey guys. Bella I didn't know you were back in town." I hear Jacob say.
"Yeah, I came to see my parents for thanksgiving." I tell him.
"Well who do we have here? Hi, my name is Jacob and you are?" he says with what I'm sure he thinks is a seductive look.
"Not interested." Rosalie states not even looking at him.
"Oh come on baby, me and you can have a real good time together." Jacob pushes.
"Jacob, back off right now." I tell him as calmly as I can.
"What is she with you?"
"Yes, she is. This is my girlfriend so back off right now." I say as I wrap my arm around Rosalie and pull her against me. I can feel her snuggle closer to me.
"Awe isn't that cute. Well sweetheart, when you get tired of this dyke you know where I will be." He says as he tries to lean over to kiss her. That was the final straw for me. I jump up from my spot beside Rosalie and push him from her.
"What do you think you are doing?" I yell at him.
"What are you scared that I will steal her from you two?" he taunts me.
"Definitely not, but I do know that she said that she isn't interested and she doesn't want your griminess on her." I tell him.
"You know you have always been jealous of me. It was always so easy for me to take your girls and this time will be no different." After he says this I feel my body tense up even more. I get ready to jump at him when Rosalie stands in front of me and grabs my face.
"Baby look at me. You know that he can't steal me from you. I'm yours and you know this, don't let him get you riled up." As she says this all I can do is look into her eyes and listen to what she is saying. I know that she wouldn't leave me for him but I feel like I'm in high school again with this prick coming after what's mine.
"Wow you must be pussy whipped if all she has to do is tell you to calm down and you do." Jacob laughs. I can feel a couple different peoples' hands on my arms holding me back. I look back down at Rosalie and pull my arms loose from Quil and Embry. I grab Rosalie's hand and we head over towards Sophie and my parents. After I start to walk away I feel someone's hand grab my shoulder and turn me around. Next thing I know, I feel a punch to my face. That was the final straw; I stand up and charge Jacob. I tackle him to the ground and start to punch him back. He throws me off him and jumps on top of me, but before he is able to hit me I kick him off. We both stagger to our feet and are circling each other when my dad comes over to break the fight up.
"What's going on over here?" my dad yells.
"Dad he threw the first punch this time. Plus he was trying to kiss Rosalie." I try to tell my dad.
"No you are just mad because your girl wanted to kiss me." Jacob smirked.
"I swear to god Jacob, she wants me not you. You can't have every girl that I have. Go get your own god damn women and leave mine alone." I say as I struggle against Quil and Embry.
"Bella calm down now." My dad scolds me.
"Bella please calm down, I think you are scaring Sophie." I hear Rosalie whisper to me. I calm down enough to look over to Sophie who is sitting with my mom and I see that she does look scared. I nod my head and relax so Quil and Embry will release my arms. Rosalie gives me a hug and we walk over to Sophie. I pick her up and apologize to her.
"Let's go." I say to Rosalie. "I'll see you guys later. I'll make sure we see you all before we leave again." I tell the guys as we start to walk away.
"What are you just going to walk away, what are scared or something?" I hear Jacob yell.
"You know, over the years I have kicked your ass too many times and yet you still won't give up. I'm not going to scare my daughter just to give you the satisfaction of having your ass kicked one more time. Now the next time I see you don't talk to me or my family or even think about coming near us." I say to him as I turn and we walk back to our car and head back to my parents' house.
"Baby, are you okay?" Rosalie asks as we lay in bed that night. Sophie was asleep on her trundle bed beside us while we are still wide awake. My parents got home soon after us and were also in bed now.
"Yeah, I just can't believe that he tried that after all these years." I tell her.
"Well people are jealous when someone else has what they want and it seems that it has been that way all your childhood and into adulthood. As long as you know that I am yours and you are mine, which is all that matters. I love you and only you." She says as she starts kissing me. That leads to a make out session that needed to stop because Sophie was in the room.
"Babe we have to stop, Sophie's in here." She tells me as I am lying between her legs.
"I know, but it's not fair that you started this and can't finish it." I tell her.
"I promise to make it up to you when we get home." She tells me.
"Okay, get some sleep. I love you."
"I love you too."
