Chapter 1

Bella's POV,

It was a normal day for Bella Swan or so she thought. She was sat in her normal spot by the window in her rocking chair, since her break up with one Edward Cullen three days ago that's where she spent most of her time.

Thinking over her relationship wondering where she had gone wrong, realising that in fact it's not her fault they broke up it wasn't because she wasn't good enough but because he wasn't good enough.

She was brought out of her thoughts by Charlie her father calling her down stairs. Bella slowly stood from her chair cracking her joints in the process while dramatically sighing her in patience with her father. She got to the bottom of the stairs and saw her father sitting up at the kitchen table so she joined him.

There was an awkward silence for a good ten minutes before Bella lost her shit and told her dad to hurry it up.

"Dad come on what's going on?"

He took a deep breath and just launched into his tale not letting Bella get a word in at all.

"The thing is Bells now your an adult I think it's the best time to tell you that well I'm not your dad, Renee's not your mother. We adopted you because your real mother couldn't look after you and your real dad only found out about you a year ago when your real mum died.

He contacted me when he found out about you so he could have contact with you but at the time you were still living with Renée so I told him to give me a year to tell you which he has.

His been ringing none stop though since he found out about you, he really wants to meet you so what do you think? "

What do I think? Has he completely lost his mind? His just told me the people who I thought to be my parents aren't actually my parents. My real dad didn't know about me so I could understand why he hasn't been in my life. But why couldn't my mum look after me what made her think I was better off with Charlie and Renée, being passed between them like some present.

Having to be the parent to Renée when I didn't actually need to.

I looked to my dad in utter shock,

"Well I think I need to go and think things through Charlie, I mean for the last eighteen years I thought you were my dad and now your telling me your not. where does my real dad live?"

"He lives in California a town called Charming"

I sat there for about 10 minutes thinking things over. I was angry with Charlie and Renée for keeping this from me but also for the way they were with me. I hated that I always had to be the parent with both of them when they should of been looking after me.

The answer came pretty quick to be fair, I wanted to speak to my real father before I made any decisions on what to do next.

"Have you got his number? I'd like to call and speak to him before I make any decisions"

With that Charlie stood up walked over to the fridge and grabbed a piece of paper that was stuck to the door by a magnet. He walked back over to me, gave me the paper kissed my forehead then left the kitchen. I didn't know how to feel about this whole situation but I know I was still angry with both Charlie and Renée more at Renée then Charlie though.

I was gonna use the house phone but decided I wanted to do this in private in my bedroom so I walked upto my room closed the door and sat on my bed. I picked my cell up off the bedside table and sat there for a good ten minutes getting the courage up to do this.

I dialled the number, heard it ring twice before someone answered.

"Yeah?"

I took a deep breath

"Is this Clay Morrow?"

"Yeah who's this?"

"I'm your daughter Isabella"

I thought it would be best to get that part out of the way straight away.

I heard him suck in a breath and for a moment I panicked did he actually want me or was Charlie just trying to get rid of me then he started speaking.

"Charlie told you? When? Are you ok? You have to know if I had known about you from the beginning you would of been with me from the start."

This had me smiling.

"He told me about twenty minutes ago. I think I'm still processing all this, but I am angry with both Charlie and Renée for lying to me especially Renée with how she treated me. Anyway Charlie told me as soon as you found out about me you started looking for me.

I can't be mad at you when you didn't know about me."

I heard his chuckle and relaxed further.

"No I suppose you can't be. Do you think you would want to come to Charming? I'd love to get to know my daughter."

I released a breath I didn't know I was holding. Now I had spoken to him I knew I had to meet him.

"I want to meet you to."

"Good how about I book you a flight? I have your cell number I can text you the details and I'll pick you up from the airport this side?"

"Ok"

"Good. I'll go do that now give you some time to tell Charlie what's happening."

"Ok thank you"

"No need to thank me your my daughter I'd do anything for you now I know you exist. I'll text you with those details."

"Ok bye...dad"

I heard his shocked breath but I could also picture him smiling to.

"Bye princess"

Then he hung up. I sat there for about five minutes just getting my breath, then I launched myself off the bed straight to my closet where I had put my suitcase when I moved here.

I started packing, I was zooming around my room as fast as I could. Once I had the majority of my clothes packed I went downstairs to speak to Charlie, I found him in the living room in front of the tv.

I walked in front of it and picked up the remote to press the mute button, I took a deep breath then looked at Charlie.

"Clays buying me a ticket so I can fly to Charming. His gonna text me the details. I'll probably be leaving soon though"

Clays POV, (just because)

I can't believe I have a daughter! Thinking of Isabella made me angry not with her but with her selfish bitch of a mother. How dare she keep my daughter a secret, if that girl had been in my life I would of treated her like a princess growing up.

As it stands now she's eighteen, she doesn't really need a father but I was still gonna be one for her. I have been speaking to her adopted father Charlie, his been keeping me updated as much as he can in the year that I've known about Isabella.

I was bought out of my thoughts by the guys walking into the club house, they all knew about Isabella of course I told them the minute I found out. They have been encouraging me in the aid of forcing Charlie to tell her about me.

I would of flew to Forks by now but that probably wouldn't go down well. The guys were just being idiots messing around, play fighting with each other on their afternoon break when my cell rang.

I answered it on the second ring, frowning cause I didn't recognise the number. My voice gruff when answering.

"Yeah?"

I heard someone take a breath then they started talking.

"Is this Clay Morrow?"

This had me frowning even more.

"Yeah who's this?"

"I'm your daughter Isabella"

That had me stood in shock, Charlie had actually told her, I doubted he would as he kept putting it off for another time but now she's on the phone. I could hear how anxious she was in her voice like she thought I was Gonna turn her away.

I sucked in a breath and then launched into my sentence. I wanted her to know she is wanted by me.

"Charlie told you then? When? Are you ok? You have to know if I had known about you from the beginning you would of been with me from the start"

I had to get that out there, I would never of given her up if I knew about her. It just pisses me off more thinking about the years I've missed out on because of her selfish bitch of a mother.

"He told me about twenty minutes ago. I think I'm still processing all this, but I am angry with both Charlie and Renée for lying to me especially Renée with how she treated me. Anyway Charlie told me as soon as you found out about me you started looking for me. I can't be mad at you when you didn't know about me."

I chuckled at that, I had been fearful that she would be mad at me for not being in her life, but thankfully Charlie has told her that as soon as I knew about her i did try finding her. If Charlie had been honest with her a year ago she could of been living here by now.

"No I suppose you can't be. Do you think you would want to come to Charming? I'd love to get to know my daughter."

I heard her release a breath I didnt know she had been holding, I knew that Renee had possibly done alot of damage to her emotionally so I would make sure she knew she was wanted by me, even Gemma wanted her here.

"I want to meet you to."

Good I was glad she was willing to meet me and even come to Charming I also knew this would be a big step for her, and when she got here I would be honest with her about the club and stuff, I would also make sure she knew had to defend herself. I would have Happy, Jax and Tig train her, but I would also keep my eyes on Tig around her cause that girl is my daughter and I'll be damned if he was gonna get between her legs.

"Good how about I book you a flight? I have your cell number I can text you the details and I'll pick you up from the airport this side?"

The least I could do was pay for her ticket. I know Charlie would probably try to talk her out of coming, he never did like me.

"Ok"

I felt so happy that she actually did want to meet me, Charlie did send me pictures of her but it was never enough. I missed out on so much of her life because Renée kept her away from me.

"Good. I'll go do that now give you some time to tell Charlie what's happening."

"Ok thank you"

"No need to thank me your my daughter I'd do anything for you now I know you exist. I'll text you with those details."

"Ok bye...dad"

I sucked in a sharp breath, she called me dad! To hear that from her was amazing and it made this past year of me chasing Charlie worth it.

"Bye princess"

I hung up the phone and saw all the guys watching me, it was Jax who spoke first though.

"So what's the deal pres?"

"That was Isabella my daughter. She's coming to Charming!"

There was around of Cheering and the guys slapping me on the back. I looked to Jax who had a smile on his face.

"Well we can't wait to meet her"

I looked over to Juice our computer tech.

"Juice will you book one ticket from Forks Washington to Charming please for a one Isabella Swan for as soon as possible?"

He nodded his head and got to it. I then looked over to the rest of the guys,

"Ok Jax, Tig and Happy will you guys mind teaching her self defence? I know Charlie is the chief of police but something tells me he never taught her anything, I want her to also be taught how to shot a gun."

"No worries" "You got it" "hell yeah"

That was all I got from Happy, Tig and Jax.

"Right I'm gonna go tell Gemma and have her make up a room for Bella both here and at the house"

I then walked out the door and to the office where I saw my Queen hard at work. I walked in the office and closed the door standing against it with my arms crossed.

"I spoke to Isabella"

She looked up with a smile on her face,

"Yeah? what did she say?"

"She agreed to come to Charming"

"When?"

"Juice is sorting the tickets out now. Will you make up a room for her at the house and here?"

"Of course"

With that I walked over to her pulling her into my arms and placing a kiss on her lips.

"Thank you"

We were taken out of our moment by juice knocking on the door shouting out a come in he opened the door.

"The earliest flight is tonight. Leaving at 11pm she will get into Charming airport at 4am" (I live in England so I am unsure of the distance and such. if I have this wrong please let me know)

"Thanks Juice"

"All she has to do is collect them from the ticket booth in the airport. Her flight number is AB67589"

He then walked out. I got my cell back out of my pocket and brought up the text screen.

From clay:

princess your flight leaves at 11pm tonight arriving in charming at 4am. I will be there to pick you up. You need to collect your tickets from the ticket booth your flight number is AB67589 love dad xx

Before I even had chance of putting my phone away I got a message back.

From Bella

OK thanks dad. I can't wait to meet you. how much should I bring? xx

From clay

Bring a suitcase full of clothes, I can buy you anything else you need princess. See you soon xx

I put my phone away and had an Wayne huge smile on my face, my daughter would be coming to live with me! I couldn't wait to meet her.
