Chapter 23

The next day found Bianca out of Rosie's house. They didn't know whether she went back or was visiting some friends. She made no attempt to let them know. Jo was disappointed. She wanted her mom to accept the guy in her life and to tell her about her grandchild and to see Bianca tell her how much she loved her. Guess that wasn't going to happen. Everyone tried to cheer her up which made her irritable until Rosie asked everyone to leave her alone.

"Let her be! She's an adult! No need to comfort her. Let her take it and deal with it!" Rosie said sternly. Paul had wanted to argue but he saw the look Rosie sent his way and decided it was best to give Jo some space. He did not want to stress her more than she was.

Jo was grateful. It was exactly what she needed to do and was glad her grandma understood. She needed to completely understand and accept that Bianca may never accept Paul and they may never go back to the relationship they had. Also, her kids may never see their grandma. She sighed but smiled. At least they'd have Rosie, she thought glancing at her to see her flirting with old John.

She needed to focus on other things to distract herself. The topic of her mother was depressing. And she had yet to talk to April. She looked around and found the other girl setting the tables. She hadn't taken up a job there but she was helping to pass her time. Jo decided this was the right time to talk to her.

"April, can I talk to you?" Jo asked. She hadn't really thought about what she'd say but this was April, talking to her had always been easy.

"Sure Jo! What's up? You feeling, ok?" April asked cautiously. Jo had been extra moody. Probably because of her pregnancy hormones, she thought.

Jo chuckled at the younger girl's expression.

"I'm not about to explode you know", Jo said joking.

"Good to know. So what did you want to talk about?" April asked as they sat down on one of the free tables.

"I really want you to stay for a while. It's been crazy around here and we haven't even had a chance to talk and catch up. You could work here if you want and stay with Rosie, you know she'd love it." Jo said looking at her expectantly.

"It's not like I've got some place to be so sure I can stay but I can't work here. Seth already offered me work at his diner and I think I'm going to take it up." April replied

"Yes!" !$# crash # 4

Jo sighed. No treats for guessing who it was outside the cafe listening in to their 'private' conversation.

"What was that?" April asked brow furrowed.

"Must be a dog or something going through the garbage."

"Dogs here can talk? Cause I heard a 'yes'." April said

"Hah! You have no idea what our dogs can do" Jo said secretively.

The door to the cafe opened and in comes Seth, grinning like he won the state lottery.

"Hi Jo! April!" Seth smiled brightly while sitting next to April who moved away slightly while looking at him weird.

Jo chuckled. Trust Seth to give the girl time to get used to him.

"How are you today, Seth? Did you sleep well?" Jo smirked at him. Paul had told her how he had been reciting 'She Walks in Beauty' by Lord Byron , while thinking about April during patrol.

"Good. I slept well. How about you, Josie?" Seth smirked while Jo blushed. Obviously Paul had thought about their night.

April looked on confused at their private conversation. She felt awkward.

"Well, I'll be leaving now. Have fun." She said. She didn't like Seth focusing his attention on Jo but what infuriated her was why? She just knew she didn't like it and if she stayed longer she might say something she'd regret.

Seth read her feeling and in his mind, banged his head on a concrete wall! She didn't know the kind of relationship they shared, of course she'd feel left out and jealous?

"Wait! I actually came to see you. I wanted to know if you had reached a decision about my offer...you know to join the diner. "

"I have but I have to warn you that I may up and leave any day so you should probably give me some temp work." April said feeling herself relax a little as Seth talked to her while Jo had moved into the kitchen.

"Like I said yesterday, we need extra hands during rush hour so that's completely fine. However, I do wish you'd change your mind and stay." Seth said looking hopeful.

April just shrugged. She hadn't really thought about it. Did she want to stay at one place, especially a town the size of La Push or even Forks? She'd stay for now to spend time with Jo but maybe later she'd move on.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AN: Sorry for the long wait!

So, what do you think is going to happen next? Is everybody going to have a happy ending or is Mike or Bianca going to ruin it? Will April be as understanding as Jo and accept Seth?
