Maria is walking away from baggage claim towards the front of the airport. She stops and a smile appears on her face when she seas who waiting for her.

She rushes forward and calls out "Daddy!" Charlie looks up at that noice and opens his arms just in time for his daughter to jump into.

He picks her up and spins her around and puts her back down with a smile "Hey pumpkin."

She gives him a big cheesy smile"Hi." As she is about to grab her suitcases Charlie stops her "Here let me get that for you." She grabs the straps of her backpack and gives him a kiss on the cheek "Thanks Dad."

There waking out towards the car before Charlie asks "Why did you decide to come a day after Bella?"

She sucks in a breath at that and looks down "I had a test so I couldn't go yesterday." She lies not wanting to tell him that Bella complained about having to go with her. That her mother started to shout at her for making her sister upset.

Charlie's eyebrows scrunch at that before he gives a slow nod "Alright..." He opens the back and puts her suitcases in then went round to get in the car. Maria breathes in before climbing in the passengers side.

"Im glad your home pumpkin." Charlie says and gives her a smile l. She returns that smile and says "I am to Daddy."

——————————————

When they get home Charlie sees bella's truck is gone. He parks and turns his head to Maria "Guess your sister is out." Maria hums and is filled with relief that her sister isn't here to through one of her tantrums.

They both get out the car and as Charlie gets her suitcases Maria walks up the steps and into the house. Charlie comes in behind her and starts to say "I know it ain't much but-" Maria cuts him of "It's lively daddy, It's home."

Charlie gives her a soft smile at that happy that she likes the house compared to how Bella through a tantrum about how her room is so small and how the house looks tacky.

"Well let me show you your room." He says then carries the suitcases up the stairs with Maria hot on his heals.

As they get to the attic Charlie's about to say how he tried to make is spacious but is cut if again by Maria "Oh it's amazing dad I love it."

She gives him a hug and another kiss on his cheek before taking her suitcases if him and bring them to the bed. Charlie blush of embarrassment and puts his hand on the back of his neck. "Your welcome pumpkin."

She gives him a bright smile and his whole body relaxes "Well I'll let you get settled in." He gives her one more small smile before walking out closing the door behind him.

Maria looks around her room with a soft smile and breathes in thinking that she is finally home and nothing strange will happen when she's home.

Maria is downstairs cooking and talking to Charlie when Bella comes home.

"Hey Charlie-" Bella stops what she's saying when she sees who's at the stove. She looks towards Charlie "Why is that monster here?!" She shouts at him as tears well in Maria's eyes.

Anger fills Charlie at that and stands up "You will not say that about her!" Bella's eyes widen in shock and takes a step back "I'm only telling the truth. I mean look at her she's a freak." She says and give Maria a deathly glare.

Makes tears well in Maria's eyes as she looks down. All she wanted was her sisters love. Charlie seeing the tears in his daughters face turns to Bella and says "Go to your room young lady and don't come back down."
