Bella's Sister

Chapter Thirteen

Two months later
___________
"Mama" Juliette screamed at her sleeping mother. The seven month old starred at her mother with anger and sat up in her crib. A month ago the young girl learned to say mama and gained full back support a month ago. Her mother, Alexandria pieced her life together and stopped attending La Push high school. She started an quickened course of study so she can be a better mother for her daughter. Her and Monica Lahote remanded good friends and their children often play together.

Seth Clearwater comes and visits almost every week to keep the young mother company and see his imprint. Of course he hasn't told Lexi about his bond with her daughter or that she is Paul's imprint. Paul in these last two months hasn't been the way he used to. He sits alone in his bedroom all day and sometimes even cried at night. Both of, Paul and Alexandria, feel an empty void in their chest without the other. The girls duties as a mother help keep her mind off of things. Paul only has time to wallow in self pity.

"I know I'm coming baby" The young mom said sitting up in her bed. She tied her cropped hair into a bun and stretched out. Lexi felt she needed fresh start, starting with her hair. She cut her brown hair that fell to her waist in waves to her collar bones and dyed it black. Her mother wasn't too happy but learned to live with it. The now black headed girl picked up her daughter and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Morning lovely, did you sleep nice?" She asked laying her down on the changing table. Lexi changed her into a clean diaper and got her dresses in a pair of cotton pants and a sweatshirt. Lexi put her daughters hair in two pigtails coming out of the front of her head. The seven month old had started crawling and was into everything. This caused Charlie to baby proof everything in their home.

Lexi set her daughter on the floor of their bedroom and turned a cartoon on for her. It was a Saturday and Lexi had already finished her homework the night before. She grabbed an outfit that she had laid out the night before. She got dressed quickly in the bathroom. Then brushed her teeth and her hair. She left her hair down in short waves framing her face. Lexi went back into her bedroom. What she saw in front of her brought a smile to her face.

Her sister was sitting on the floor playing with her daughter. Over the last two month Bella has gotten significantly closer with Juliette and has rekindled the relationship between her younger sister. "Morning Bells" Lexi said siting down next to her sister. "Morning Lex, I was wondering if I can borrow your baby?"Bella asked grabbing Juliette's hands and making them move.

"Borrow her for what? You're not going to like sell her right?" Lexi asked bringing her baby into her lap and blowing raspberries on her neck. The baby released a harmonious laugh and leaned back into her mother. "I would never sell Juju, I've just been taking about her a lot to Edward's mother and sisters. Thought I would give you a break and let them fawn over her" Lexi weighed her sisters words in her head. "Fine, but please bring her back in piece. Seth is coming over to hang out at five have her back by then." Lexi said handing Bella her daughter. "Don't you think it's weird that a fifteen year old boy wants to hang out with a baby?" Bella said standing up and grabbing the diaper bag.

"Don't you find it weird that your boyfriend's siblings are dating one another!" Lexi asked putting shoes and a coat on her daughter. "touché" Bella said laughing and looking at her niece. "Wanna go see the Cullens with auntie? Don't you Juju" Bella said in a baby voice. Lexi wasn't very fond of the nickname for her daughter. It reminded her of what their mother always told them as young girls. "Stay away from those boys they have bad juju" having her daughter nicknamed after wrong vibes didn't sit right. Things we going so well with her sister and she didn't want to ruin it all
over a dumb nickname. So she kept quiet.

Lexi walked down the stairs with her sister and swapped car keys with her sister. She sent her daughter off with a kiss and reminded her sister to take care of her. Lexi walked back into the empty house and into the kitchen. There was a shopping list hanging on the fridge that was longer then it ever should be with four people in the house. Lexi sighed and made herself a cup of tea in a thermos and grabbed Bella's car keys. The old truck seemed as if it would fall apart if you tried to take it over thirty.

Lexi drove to the bigger market of the two
in Forks. The bigger of the two was between Forks and LaPush. She got out of her car and slammed the door, keys in hand, and the list pocketed. The black haired girl grabbed a cart. She went over the list in her head to make sure there wasn't anything she was forgetting. For an hour she walked around the store putting all the items in the cart and a few extra things. Including a stuffed brown wolf she thought Juliette would enjoy.

As she was reaching the top shelf to grab the last thing on her list. For some unknown reason her father loved relish and for another unknown reason they put it on the very top shelf. Making it almost impossible for the short girl to reach. "Here let me help you with that" a smooth voice said from behind her. She knew who that voice belonged to. One of the two people she's been trying to avoid.
