Bella's POV

That night I decided to be the one to put Charlie to bed. I was lying on Charlie's bed with her under the covers, snuggled up close to me. As I was reading to her I noticed she was starting to nod off, I quietly closed the book, putting it on the nightstand. I turned the light off and went to get up until I heard Charlie say something. "Mom, did Aunt Alice and Uncle Jasper run away because we're gonna die" I leaned in close "No, I think they left to keep us safer, and that's what all these other people are here for too, I'll never let anybody hurt you"

I bent down, kissing Charlie's head. I went out and sat in the living room, I was alone again, Kate was still up at the main house...probably with Garrett...we haven't actually spoken alone since he started flirting.

Maybe Kate didn't want me as a mate after all...maybe she wanted him...and god did that hurt...but if that's what she wanted I would let her go...I needed to focus on keeping Charlie safe...Charlie see's Kate as her second mom and that wasn't going to change even if we aren't together.

I decided to have a bath, after going and turning the bath on I went back in the living room. I looked at the note from Alice again. I looked at the other side of the page to see The merchant of Venice. I went to the next page in the book to see writing in Alice's hand writing. J. Jenks, Seattle - destroy this.

Alice made sure that only I would get the message, because only my mind would be safe from Aro. I quickly chucked the book into the fire place before going and getting in the bath.

The next day I decided to take Charlie to go and see Sue at the reservation. We were allowed there now thanks to Leah imprinting on Charlie, and they all loved Charlie. I couldn't stand to see Garrett flirting with Kate and her not doing anything to stop it.

On the way to the reservation in the car Leah spoke up from the seat next to me. "Is everything okay with you and Kate?" I looked at her. "Yeah fine" She didn't seem convinced. "Bella..." I shook my head. "I don't want to talk about it okay?" Leah nodded before changing the subject. "Surprised you took a break from training" I sighed. "If I don't take Charlie to see your mom, she'll come to us, 27 vampires, one human, not so great." Leah stared at me and whispered. "I know that's what you told Kate" I looked at her sharply to cut her off. She spoke again. "Whatever...I'm just glad to get away from all those reeking bloodsuck-" I gaped at her. She scoffed. "I'm sorry, I know, they're the good guys...but come on Dracula one and two are creepy" I couldn't help but laugh.

We pulled up outside Sue's house, Sue came running out to greet us, and Billy came wheeling down the ramp. Charlie quickly jumped out the car, running to Sue, Sue picked Charlie up, spun her around and set her back down. "Wow look at you, you've grown have a foot, seriously like six inches" Billy laughed from next to her.

Sue looked at me and Leah. "Come on in inside lunch is on the table" Billy spoke up. "And we got a tree to decorate."

I stayed near the car. "I've actually got a few errands to run guys, I'll be back soon okay?" I shared a look with Leah and got in the car before driving off.

Should I do the J. Jenks scene or skip it? Let me know please
