Chapter 6,

Charlie's POV,

Taking Bella to the airport was hard, but I knew I would have to do it one day or Clay would have turned up here which would of ruined everything. No one other than me and Renee knew Bella wasn't ours I never even told Billy who is my best bud. I never wanted her to go because I knew Clay was not a good person, he didn't exactly live by the law, his an outlaw but I couldn't tell Bella that she had to find out for herself.

I knew my daughter, I knew she would keep in touch with me, I could only hope she would tell me what she saw and heard cause I would have those bastards in prison quicker then lightening. I didn't like Clay, I didn't like that Bella wasn't mine not saying that I loved her like a daughter but I did like to have her around so the housework was done and I came home to cooked meals.

Bella still hadn't contacted me to let me know she was ok, she must be sleeping or busy. I was sat in my chair watching the game, waiting for Billy to get here when my door knocked.

I got up sighing, thinking what a conversation this would be. I knew Billy must of heard Bella when she went round to say goodbye to Jacob I knew he wouldn't be happy with me because I kept this from him, I also knew he wouldn't be happy that I let her go because he wants Jacob and Bella to be together but I knew even if she stayed that wouldn't of happened cause Bella never saw Jacob that way which I was happy about. #

That kid was just to damn nosy for his own good I didn't want him as a son in law. I got to the door and opened it to find the fucking Cullen's at the door.

"What the fuck are you bastard's doing here?"

Carlisle stepped forward with his hands in the air in a calming manner. Yeah like that would matter I was pissed as hell at his fuck tard of a son not because he dumped Bella but because he thought he had any right to date her in the first place. I didn't like him, I didn't like his family but right now I was more pissed at Bella for leaving then at these assholes.

"I am sorry to just turn up like this Charlie, I know what we did to Bella was wrong. We are here because we miss her and want her back with our family. Edward has realised just how much he loves her can we speak to her?"

"Sorry Cullen but Bella's not here. She left last night in fact and even if she was here she wouldn't want to speak to the people that left her."

This had Edward rushing forward and me stepping back.

"Please Charlie, where is she? I need her in my life"

"If you needed her why did you leave her?"

"I made a mistake."

"Yeah you did. Bella's not here she's gone to live with her real dad"

"I don't understand, you're her father"

"No, I am the man that bought her up with Renee. Me and Renee adopted Bella when she was a year old her mother was a druggy and her real father knew nothing about her until a year ago. I told her the truth yesterday and she made her own decision on what she wanted to do, turns out she wants to know her real father."

"Where did she go?"

Now this is the moment I should of said none of your damn business you lousy excuse of a man, I knew by telling them where she was I would be hurting Bella but at this point I felt she deserved it for leaving me. I did bring her up all these years.

"She's gone to Charming, California"

I then slammed the door in their faces, as soon as Bella rang me I would tell her what happened but until then I had no way of contacting her to warn her. I knew deep down she didn't leave to hurt me but as I said I am pissed at her.

Before I could move from the door, it knocked again. I opened it to see Jacob and Billy so I moved out of the way to let them in. We all moved into the living room where I sat back on my recliner and waited for Billy to speak.

"Why did you never tell me Charlie?"

"I never told anyone Billy, me and Renee thought it would be better if no one knew. We didn't want one of you to accidently tell Bella before we could so don't take it personally"

Before he could say anything else, Jacob spoke up and I knew just by looking at him, he was pissed.

"Why were the Cullen's here?"

I knew the people from the Reservation never liked the Cullen's but I didn't think it would rub off on the kids. I knew both Billy and Jake would be angry with me when I told them what I did but I wouldn't regret what I did not right now.

"They were here looking for Bella"

"What did you tell them?"

"Told them she wasn't here and wouldn't be back"

"Charlie did you tell them where she went?"

"Of course, I did. The little bitch left me, I'm pissed at her she would have to face them one day why not now. She'll get over it soon enough and come home."

This had both Billy and Jake gasping in shock, Jake stood up and started shaking. I saw Billy taking deep breaths to calm himself down, Jacob just rushed out the front door leaving us together.

Billy just sat in his chair staring at me, trying to see the Charlie he knew. But he wouldn't find him I stopped being that man when Renee left me.

"Charlie how could you do that to her? You saw what those monsters did to her"

"I don't have to justify my reasons to you. I'd like you to leave my house now Billy"

He shook his head and left.

Edward's POV,

She left? How could she leave like that? She must have known I would come back for her, she must have known deep down I didn't mean what I said to her that night in the forest. I said what I did to protect her, Carlisle said I had to be sure she was the one for me and leaving would be the best way to find that out. The night Jasper hurt her would forever be ingrained in my memory. Jasper had a different childhood to the rest of us, his father used to beat him, and his mum and Jasper on a few occasions saw his mum being put in her place so his father would say.

Him and Bella didn't really like each other I'm not sure why but whenever they were in the same room they would throw insults out to each other and on Bella's birthday she went a bit far and Jasper flipped she hit a nerve on him and he lunged at her. He knocked her to the ground and had his hand around her throat before we could stop him. It took Emmett, me and Carlisle to pull him off her once we had him off her Carlisle and Emmett pulled him outside leaving me to help Bella up off the floor.

I saw the bruise forming already, and knew she would have one hell of a sore throat in the morning. I knew I had to leave her to protect her Jasper was just too unstable around her he would hurt her again I knew it.

But to come back and find out she had left, it killed me, broke my heart and smashed it to a million pieces. Thankfully Charlie told us where she had gone, it wouldn't take us long to get there, we would be there tomorrow evening at the latest.

I just hoped she would take me back.

Charlie's POV, (A few hours after kicking Billy out, this is the phone call between Bella and him)

After a few hours of being on my own I had calmed down enough to realize what I had done to hurt Bella, and kicked my best buddy out of my house. I would have a lot of making up to do with Billy tomorrow and I would do it because it wasn't his fault that all this was going on and it wasn't Bella's fault that she left to be with her real father, I always knew that day would come.

I was bought out of my thoughts by my cell ringing, I fished it out of my pocket and frowned because I didn't recognise the number but I answered it anyway.

"This is Chief Swan"

"Charlie? It's me Bella"

"Oh Hey, Bells. This your new number?"

"No, I'm borrowing one of the guys cell phones. I haven't set my new phone up yet been too busy"

"Yeah doing what?"

This was my chance to see if she would talk, if she told me I could find some sort of charge to wacke on him and would make it stick until I found something else from the investigation I would launch. I would get Bella back even if it meant sending all those out law bastards to jail for life.

"Gemma, Clay's wife took me shopping for clothes that wouldn't kill me by heating me up to much considering all my Fork's clothes are not exactly suitable for Charming."

"Bell's, you don't like shopping, so you expect me to believe you went willingly"

She giggled at that, and that had me stopping in surprise. I hadn't heard her giggle since she was three years old running around the garden chasing me.

"Yeah I went. Shopping with Gemma isn't so bad, she doesn't put me in things I don't like. She lets me pick things out and try them on so it was fun."

"What else you been up to?"

"I helped Gemma in the office of the garage, she had some paperwork that she needed help with."

I could see I wasn't getting anywhere with Bella, she wasn't going to tell me anything about anything, nothing I could use anyway. This is once again where the anger came out, I just hoped I wouldn't regret it in the morning. Little did I know, this would be the last time I ever speak to Bella because of what I had done.

"So, I have to tell you something. The Cullen's turned up at my door today"

This had her gasping, and I didn't know if it was in surprise or in anger. But I knew what would come out of my mouth next would hurt her for a very long time.

"What did they want?"

This had me chuckling,

"They wanted you of course, broke little Edward's heart when I told him you weren't here."

I could almost feel the anger coming from the phone and it had me cringing back.

"Broke his heart? The little bastard doesn't have a heart, if he did he wouldn't of left me in the fucking first place"

This had me moving the phone from my ear and staring at it in shock, I had never heard Bella cuss before.

"Well, he looked like he was going to cry"

"Good serves the bastard right. What did you tell him?"

"I told him where you are. I thought he had a right to know, he at least deserves another chance with you. And maybe it will bring you back to Forks where you belong, I thought letting you go to Charming would help me make a case against Clay but I can see that your never going to say anything against daddy dearest even though that fucker hasn't been around most of your life"

Wow ok, where the hell did that come from? I didn't know that was going to come out of my mouth right now. But shit she had to hear it

"What the fuck is your problem? I don't know who you are right now"

"Just a heads up, their be there tomorrow sometime with the amount of money those slimy bastards have"

"How dare you make that decision Charlie. You were there when that bastard broke up with me, and all of a sudden they turn up looking for me and you tell them exactly where I am. Fuck you, I knew you were pissed I left but this is ridiculous."

Then she put the phone down, I knew in that moment I wouldn't speak to her again for a while if ever. Bella isn't one to hold grudges unless you deserved it and I do. I never wanted to hurt her that way but it's happened so now I'm just going to have to live with it.

Bella's POV,

I couldn't believe my phone call with Charlie went that way, I knew he was hurt when I left but I had the right to know my father just as my father had the right to know me. It wasn't Clay's fault that he wasn't in my life, he didn't even know about me for the first seventeen years of my life but now we knew about each other we had the right to know each other and be in each other's life's.

It wasn't just about the right to be in each other's life's either it was the fact that this is where I wanted to be and I had the right to make that decision. I never felt at home in Fork's I never even wanted to move to Fork's, I only did it because its what Renee wanted me to do and I always did everything she wanted to make her happy. Being here with my real father and the club I knew this is where I belonged, I truly felt at home here. I shook my head to get rid of those thoughts and focused on what the guys were doing, I was stood next to Jax watching him talk to Sake about a dead deer that was in a box.

I was still giggling at Half Sakes, confused state about the deer and stuffing it when Jax wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me to sit on his lap on the couch. I knew when he and my dad went into the room to talk it was about me, but I didn't care because I wanted to be with Jax.

I was worried about the Cullen's turning up tomorrow, not because I was scared of my feelings for Edward because I knew I didn't love him, I was more worried about the fight that I knew would happen between the Cullen's and my new family. Especially my father, I felt the tension in his body when I told him about Edward in the truck on the way from the airport, I also knew Jax would have something to say about it as well and I didn't care as long as they let me have my say first because I had a lot to say to the bastard and his family.

I knew my father wasn't a good man and neither was any of the guys here, but I also knew without a doubt that none of them would hurt me intentionally.

I was bought out my thoughts by Jax nuzzling his nose into my neck and placing a soft kiss there.

"What ya thinking bout darlin?"

I turned in his lap so I was straddling him and looked into his eyes,

"Just the Cullen's and how I can't wait for them to turn up here and truly see the real me and see me with you"

This had he smirking at me, he leaned forward and placed his lips to mine softly, he then pulled back and put his forehead onto mine.

"Mmmm, we can't wait to meet pretty boy"

This had me chuckling at him, before we could say anything more someone put some music on and more people turned up. I knew they were all part of the club as the guys had the same kute as Jax on, but the women I had no idea about. I looked Jax in the eyes and knew he could see the question in them, he looked at me and frowned.

"Maybe now's the best time to go have that talk with your dad?"

I turned around and looked at my dad and saw that he was also looking at me frowning, while also looking around the room. I knew he was worried about telling me everything, but he really didn't need to be if I was going to run I would of done so when I saw Jax beat the shit outta that ass who sold Wendy the drugs. I caught my dad's eyes and nodded, which had him jerking his chin in the direction of the room with the reaper table.

I turned back to Jax and kissed him then climbed off his lap and walked to my dad who held his hand out for me. I grabbed his hand and he pulled me into the room and closed the doors, he told me to sit down.

"Ok, I think we should talk about what the club is and does princess. But before I do, I want you to know that you are safe here none of us would ever hurt you"

I grabbed his hand which had him looking at me,

"Dad I know I'm safe here so stop worrying. I'm not going to run no matter what you tell me so just tell me ok, I know I've only been here like two days, but I love you already"

"I love you to princess. OK, so you've probably guessed that the club isn't exactly legal, what you don't know is, we run guns, we sale them to the blacks called the 1niners, which is run by Leroy. We buy the guns from the Irish, the real IRA, the one thing we don't do is drugs we want nothing to do with that shit. We protect our own, we have Chief Unser on the payroll who helps us stay off the feds radar. There's more but to be honest princess, your learn it as you go. You can be in as deep as Gemma or know no more on the matter its up to you, but if your going to be with Jax its better to know everything. Now on the matter of Jax there is a few things you should know, the women outside they are known as either an old lady, which is what Gemma is, as she is married to me shes my old lady, or there are sweet butts, they sleep with whoever, they will never become old lady's.

Its gonna be a bit different for you because you're my daughter, you will never be a sweet butt, if things work out with Jax your be his old lady but your be in a higher standing than the rest just like Gemma. Now I should warn you about tonight, this is bare knuckle fighting night. In the ring tonight is Tig and Happy, if your gonna stay you stay with one of us none of the others I don't trust them with ya. Either me, Jax, Bobby or Chibs ok?"

Clay's POV,

So, there it is, I had just told her as much as I could tonight. The rest she would need to learn as she goes. I watched her face carefully, but she didn't give much away. I knew this is either where she's gonna realise what a dick I am or leave for good. She still had hold of my hand so when she tightened her hold my eyes shot up to hers where I was surprised to see her smiling at me.

"Dad you worry to much, I'm ok with everything you just told me. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere, the thing with me and Jax well only time will tell but everything else I'm good with and the fight tonight, I got ten on Happy"

With that she laughed, which had me chuckling. Yeah, I would bet on Happy as well, Tig was good with guns but not so much with the fighting. I just pulled her up to stand with me and then wrapped my arms around her tightly this girl would forever keep surprising me, but I was glad she was here, I had missed so much of her life but now I had the chance to make up for it.

We pulled apart and I placed a kiss to her forehead, grabbed her hand and pulled her outside. I stepped out of the room with her and signalled to Sack to turn the music off, once done I whistled to get everyone's attention this had Jax walking over to us and wrapping an arm around Bella and placing a kiss to her temple. I knew he would treat her right.

"Everyone this is Isabella, my daughter. You will treat her with respect she likes to be called Bella, she's also Jax's old lady so keep your beady eyes to yourselves"

With that I waved my hand and the music came back on. I saw Jax talking to Bella so I just walked away, I knew he would keep her with him tonight.

Jax's POV,

I looked into Bella's eyes and saw that she knew as much as Clay would tell her, I pulled her out of the bar and into my room, closing the door.

"Are you sure you're ok with everything?"

"Yeah"

"And knowing everything you still wanna be with me?"

This had her stepping forward and placing her hands on my cheeks,

"Jax I ripped a guys nipple ring out because he sold your ex wife drugs, there is nothing you can say or do that will make me change my mind. I want to be with you and I want to be here with my family so shut up and kiss me"

This had me chuckling, I grabbed her hands off my face and placed them round my neck, I then put my hands on her hips pulling her closer to me, I leaned down and softly placed my lips against hers. The kiss started slow, but slowly the passion and fire built until it burst from us both. I thrust my tongue into her mouth, which had her gasping in surprise, but it wasn't long before her tongue was battling mine for dominance which of course she lost. Before we could get to carried I pulled back remembering where we were and how many people were outside.

No way in hell would our first time be with a bunch of people outside, I smiled at her, kissed her softly again, grabbed her hand and pulled her outside with me.

"Let's go watch the fight baby girl"

"Yeah, lets go. I've got money on Happy"

I laughed and continued to pull her outside, we found Clay, Bobby and Piney stood just outside the ring so we walked over to them, I stood next to Bobby, and pulled Bella in front of me wrapping my arms around her and placing my chin on her shoulder. Piney was stood next to us with his leg on the ring and Chibs was sat on the ring next to him.

Clay and Bobby were talking about new land so we could rebuild the warehouse, this had me thinking about the manuscript I found earlier. When I was going through storage, I found this manuscript that my father had written, my father John Teller was the original President of the sons, but he died so Clay took over. I didn't read much of it but what I did read had me thinking that maybe he didn't want the sons to be involved in guns, I felt Bella place her hands over mine on her stomach and this had me thinking that maybe now with his daughter here, he would be more open to going legit rather then staying with the guns.

I still wasn't sure if I actually wanted out of the gun business, especially with Abel now around. A kid wasn't cheap, we made more money doing the guns which would mean I could buy Abel all the best if I had the chance to of course.

Bella was shouting at Happy really getting into the fight but I knew she had ears on what Clay and Bobby was talking about, so I just threw it out there.

"What would happen if we didn't rebuild?"

This had Clay looking at me in disapproval, Bobby looked shocked and Bella turned her head up to look at me, I could see the question in her eyes so I mouthed later and continued to look at Clay.

"What do you mean?"

I shrugged,

"Take the land profit and put it into something else"

Clay just continued to star at me, so I continued speaking.

"Hey, I'm just thinking long term, we got heat with the Mayans, ATF crawling up our ass, might be time to look at other ways to earn"

Clay thought for a few seconds then said,

"There's a lot of shit up in the air right now, we're figure out what the next move is"

That was it, I knew with everything going on with Abel they would think I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and to be honest I am. My son had to be delivered ten weeks early cause his crack head of a mother couldn't be trusted to look after him for the nine months that was needed.

We all looked to the ring where Happy took a few hits when Clay told Bobby to break it up.

"Bobby Break that shit up"

Bobby climbed into the ring and stood in-between them both, they both hugged and that was it over. I looked down to Bella who looked dead on her feet, I leaned my head down to whisper in her ear.

"Hey baby you ready to go?"

She just nodded her head, so I pulled my arms from around her and grabbed her hand, pulling her with me. We started making our way over to my bike when Clay stepped up next to us and walked with us. He looked at Bella and smiled softly,

"You tired princess?"

She just nodded her head, he then looked at me.

"You doing ok?"

"Yeah"

"Your ma says you haven't been back to the hospital, don't worry about this Mayan shit you need to focus on your family"

"Come on man don't push me out"

"Your father and I did time, built this up to what it is. Your gonna need this now more then ever, a sick kid big burden."

He put his hand on my neck, we were kinda squishing Bella between us but she didn't seem to mind.

"You wanna do the right thing by your family don't ya?"

"Yeah course"

"Well then go see your son"

"Yep" I nodded

We then hugged each other while patting the others back, we were bought out of our moment by Bella,

"Awww my two favourite guys"

She then wrapped one arm around me and the other around Clay holding tight for a moment then pulling back, which had us pulling back, Clay chuckled at her and kissed her forehead. She smiled at him then looked at me,

"Come on Jax lets go see that gorgeous son of yours"

We then walked over to my bike, I climbed on then held out a hand to help Bella on. We sped off straight to the hospital. Once there I helped Bella off the bike, grabbed her hand and walked into the hospital as soon as we walked in I saw Tara glaring at Bella's hand in mine. This had me shaking my head and walking away, I pulled Bella to a stop just outside Wendy's room.

"I want to see Wendy first, I want to know what the hell she was thinking"

"OK, well I'll wait out here for you,"

"No, I want you with me."

"Is that a good idea?"

"Yeah, let's go"

We walked into Wendy's room, where I saw she was sleeping I walked over to her bed and lightly shook her awake.

"Didn't think you'd wanna see me,"

Well she was right there, I didn't wanna see her but I wanted to know why she did it, why she took the drugs knowing she was pregnant. I just looked at her in disgust, Bella was stood by the door against the wall. I just looked at her and saw the disgust there to, when Wendy started crying,

"Everybody hates me, I'm sorry Jax, I'm so sorry. Please don't hate me"

"You need to get help Wendy"

I heard Bella snort softly, yeah Wendy needed more then help, she needed locking up she could of killed our baby.

"I know, I will I promise this time I promise. Doctor said Abel's getting stronger, said maybe they would fix his belly tomorrow, tomorrow morning"

"Their do everything, they can" this had Wendy crying some more,

"My lawyer said they might file criminal charges, featal abuse. I got some stuff back at the house in the stash drawer."

This had me shaking my head in anger and Bella growling, Wendy still hadn't noticed she was there until that moment, she looked at Bella and frowned but before she could ask me any questions I spoke.

"Jesus Christ"

"Just if they find that shit, their gonna put me away. You own the house Jax, I'd hate to see this blow back on you"

I saw out of the corner of my eye Bella take a step towards us, I could feel her anger from here, me I was shaking in anger.

"Yeah course"

I walked away, grabbed Bella's hand and opened the door

"Jax wait please Jax?"

Wendy was still calling for me as I stormed out of the room, I slammed the door and walked away. Bella pulled me to a stop just as we got outside the hospital.

"Jax? Are we gonna clear that shit?"

I looked at her and saw in her eyes, she would do anything for me. This had me shocked I had never felt devotion like that before, but I wouldn't let her get in trouble for me.

"I'll drop you off at Ma's then I'll go sort it out. You don't need to be anymore involved then you already are"

She shook her head and placed her right hand on my cheek,

"Jax, how many more times do I have to say it? I'm in for the long-haul stop trying to protect me, let me help you"

She then kissed me, I kissed her back wrapping my arms around her waist. Kissing Bella was like nothing I had ever felt before, she brought so many new emotions that I never knew I could feel. I knew I was falling in love with this girl and I never wanted it to end, with Bella by my side I could face anything and everything. She pulled back and smiled at me,

"So, I guess this makes me your old lady now huh?"

That had me laughing,

"Yeah baby girl it does, think you can handle it?"

"As long as you don't keep things from me ever, you have to be honest with me Jax with everything"

"You got it"

With that I climbed onto my bike and held my hand out to Bella helping her on, once on I kick started the bike and off we went.

AN,
