Hey beautiful readers, so I decided to try something new. Please let me know what you think in a REVIEW. I'm really just testing this out so depending on the response I get I'll decide whether or not to continue this story. I've written up to chapter 3 so far and I've got a million ideas so it's looking good.
PS: this is my first time writing a long story in 3rd POV so please bear with me. I'm really trying not to slip into Bella's POV.
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight.
Chapter 1
Bella awoke to the sound of a baby crying. She groaned getting out of bed and switching on the main light. She looked towards the crying baby in the cot on the other side of the room. Bella's room was large with her queen bed against one wall, side tables on either side, a work desk and table with a shelf full of books nearby, and a door which led towards a big bathroom… that was her side of the room. On the other side of the room was a baby cot with Hello Kitty sheets, a side table with a milk bottle and side lamp on top, a rocking chair, a little play area with lots of toys and a beanbag, and teddies scattered all over the place. That was Marie's side of the room. There was a large cupboard between the two sides that they shared.
Bella walked towards the crying little Marie and picked her up out of her cot and started rocking her back and forth.
"Shhh, little baby. Don't cry. It's okay. Mommy's here now. Shhhh…." Bella cooed trying to calm the infant down.
Little Marie calmed down in her mother's arms and started sucking her thumb. She looked absolutely adorable when she did this.
"Are you hungry?" Bella asked while gently trying to remove the thumb from her mouth.
Bella grabbed the milk bottle and put it in Marie's mouth. She sat in the rocking chair with Marie on her lap and fed her. Glancing towards the clock Bella saw no point in trying to get back to sleep after this as she was going to wake up in 15 minutes anyway. Once Marie was satisfied Bella put her back in her cot and the infant easily fell back asleep.
Bella sighed smiling at her little one. She got up and decided to get ready for the day ahead of her. Bella was starting her first day at a new school today. She had just moved from Alaska to Forks with her family. She was being bullied at her old school and couldn't take it anymore so she begged her parents to move and now she was starting a new life as a senior at Forks High School.
If Bella had to be completely honest, she was hoping to move somewhere a bit more glamorous. Forks was a real let down. Of all the places, her parents had to choose the smallest and most boring town in the USA. Oh well, anything was better than her old school… Bella thought to herself.
Bella was determined to have a new reputation. So she had spent time buying a new wardrobe before school started. Bella wore a simple floral dress with a black belt at the waist and a warm wool cardigan. She added a scarf, thin black stockings and some ballet pumps. Bella brushed her wavy brown hair and let it fall past her shoulders. She put a clip in her hair to keep it out of her face.
Once Bella was happy with her appearance she grabbed her school bag and went downstairs. Her mom was in the kitchen cooking breakfast for her father and Marie.
"Morning Renee," Bella greeted kissing her mom on the cheek.
"Morning sweetie," she replied. "Is Marie awake?"
"No, she's still asleep. She woke up for a bit but I gave her some milk and she went right back to sleep."
Renee nodded her head in response. Bella was eternally grateful to her mother who was a stay-at-home mom and willingly agreed to look after little Marie. Of course when Bella first came home with the news Renee was furious and couldn't even look her daughter in the eye. But after some time Renee saw how much her daughter was struggling and started talking to her again. She wasn't going to let her first grand-daughter be deformed just because Bella didn't know how to look after her. So she helped Bella through the pregnancy and watched little Marie while Bella was at school.
Bella's father came down then and sat at the kitchen table. "Morning," he grunted and picked up the newspaper.
"Morning," Bella replied. He didn't even look up.
Bella and Charlie's relationship was an awkward and strained one. In general Charlie was an awkward human being but ever since he found out his daughter was having sex he grew even more awkward around her. Bella's pregnancy had no doubt ruined her relationship with Charlie. She tried really hard to fix her relationship with him but nothing helped. She figured they worked well with their awkward distant relationship. They didn't need to be close.
Bella didn't bother with trivial conversations with her parents in the morning and said a quick goodbye and made her way to her car. She had a simple Kia Picanto. She put her school bag in the passenger seat and made her way to her new school.
So, what did you think? Is it worth continuing? REVIEW!
