I am woke up by Chanel jumping on my bed, already dressed. I smile and I pull her down on me. Chanel giggles loudly before running out of my room. I smile before I get out of bed.

Once dressed, I go into the living room. Paul has Chanel in his lap, flipping through the kid guide on my television. I smile at the two before going to the kitchen. Leah tells me she got Chanel dressed.

"Thanks, Leah." I hug her. "Thanks for moving in."

She hugs me back. "Of course, but we need to tell you a secret when you eat back from Forks."

I nod and I hear a knock on the door. I sigh and I walk to the front door. Paul is playing with Chanel, lifting her in the air like she is an airplane, giggles are flying out of my baby's mouth.

Jacob is on the porch when I open the door. I grab Chanel and I carry her to my car. I hand Jacob the keys because he knows where we are going. I get in the passenger's seat and fasten my seatbelt.

"I want you to meet my friend Bella, and let her introduce you to her friends, if she can drive your car." Jacob says as we pull out of my drive

"If she knows where we will be going, she can drive." I say with a smile.

Jacob smiles and pulls into a driveway in Forks. There is a rusty red truck in the drive, and a police cruiser parked in the yard. I get Chanel from her seat and I follow Jacob to the porch, where he knocks on the door.

"Jacob." A man with a cool mustache greets. "Who are your friends?" He coos towards Chanel and I.

"This is my friend Janelle, and her daughter Chanel." Jacob smiles.

"Well, come in you guys." The man says. "I'll get Bella. Oh and Janelle, I'm Charlie."

I sit on yer couch with Chanel while Jacob stares out their window, like he is watching out for something or someone. Charlie comes back downstairs wth a girl on his tail.

"Janelle; this is my daughter, Isabella." Charlie smiles.

"Please, call me Bella." She says shyly.

"Alright, Bella." I smile and I snuggle Chanel closer as she stares at Bella.

"Who is the cutie?" Bella asks.

"This is my little girl, Chanel." I kiss Chanel's head. "I got pregnant after being raped."

Bella frowns. "I'm sorry. Can I hold her?"

Chanel goes to Bella and Jacob tells her to introduce me to her boyfriend and his family. She and I go out to my car. She hands me Chanel to strap in, and I hand her my car key, because she knows where to go, and I don't.

I get into the passenger's seat of my car and I fasten my seatbelt. Bella starts the car up before pulling g out of her drive. I turn the radio on to kill the silence in the car.

Bella's boyfriend and his family live in a mansion right on the edge of Forks. From where she parks, it looks tree stories. How many people live here??

"Come on, Janelle." Bella smiles. "Go ahead and get Chanel."

I smile and I walk to the backseat. I get Chanel from her seat. Chanel looks at the house in awe. I follow Bella to the front door and she runs the door bell. This house is massive. A handsome blonde man with topaz eyes opens the door.

"Bella, welcome you and your friends." He lets us in but stopes me. "I'm Carlisle."

"I'm Janelle, and this is my daughter, Chanel." I say with a smile.

Carlisle smirks and he leads us upstairs, Bella has already disappeared in the house somewhere.

"Janelle, this is my wife, Esme." Carlisle points out a pretty woman with light brown hair and topaz eyes. "These five are our adopted kids. Rosalie ad Jasper, they are the only biological siblings. The others are Edward, Alice, and Emmett."

Chanel wiggles out of my grip and runs to Alice Cullen, Bella told me their last name. Alice gasps happily and she picks Chanel up Chanel grabs Alice's cross necklace and she concentrates on it.

"She is so cute!" Alice chirps. "What's her name, Janelle?"

"Chanel Nicole Milton." I say with a soft smile.

Alice smiles and Rosalie just stares at Chanel with awe in her eyes. Emmett shakes my hand and he walks up the stair case. Edward greets me, he is Bella's boyfriend.

"You're welcome here anytime, Janelle." Esme says with a smile.

Jasper asks to hold Chanel, I give him the permission to hold her. Chanel holds her arms out towards Jasper Hale. Chanel grabs Jasper's long hair and she giggles as she pulls it.

"Mind if I feed her some lunch?" Esme asks. "I have a few cans of spaghetti and meatballs."

"Yeah, thanks." I smile.

Esme grins. "If you ever need a sitter, I'll be more than happy to watch her."

"I might look you up on that." I blush.

Esme gets Chanel from Jasper and carries her to their kitchen on the second floor, the floor we are on. Alice walks me to the third floor, to her bedroom. I was correct, this is a three story house.

"Where do you live?" She asks as we sit on her bed.

"I just moved into La Push." I reply.

Alice grins. "That's right across the river."

We talk some more until Bella is ready to go. I go to the kitchen where Esme is just now getting Chanel cleaned up. I thank Esme again before carrying Chanel out to my car. Edward walks out with Bella and he eyes my car.

"Nice car, Janelle." Edward compliments.

I thank him before getting the key from Bella. I know where to go now. Edward gives Bella a kisses on the forehead before she gets into the passengers seat. I drive her to her house then Jacob gets into the car.

"My vehicle is at your house." Jacob reminds me.

"Alright." I mutter.

I pull out of Bella's driveway and I drive towards La Push. I pull up to the house and Paul is sitting on my top step. He gets Chanel out for me while Jacob gets into his own vehicle and drives to his house or back to Forks, one or the other.

"Esme said she'd be my sitter for Chanel if I needed one." I smile.

"Good, because I wanna take you on a date Saturday." Paul smirks.

"I can call Esme and see if Chanel can go stay the weekend, starting tomorrow, Friday." I say.

Paul brings a sleeping Chanel to her room as I grab my cell phone. I dial Esme's phone number, she gave it to me.

"Hello?" Esme answer her phone with a strong voice.

"Hi, Esme." I greet. "This is Janelle. I was wondering if Chanel can spend the weekend with you. I can bring her tomorrow."

Esme squeaks. "I'd love that. I best run to the store and buy toys and food and juice and little girl clothes!" She sounds excited before she hangs up.

I smirk and I hug Paul before he heads home. I tuck Chanel in before going to my own room. I change into a brown pajama set and cuddle wth my stuffed wolf. I close my eyes and I easily fall asleep.
