Chapter Fifteen, Halloween Bonfire

It's been a month since Edward had left and Bella is still being dramatic acting like her whole world has ended. Apart from when she accosted me on the way to school, on a sunny day in October.

***

Beep. Beep. Beep.

I groaned switching my alarm off on my phone, stretching and rubbing my eyes I climbed out of bed. Hearing nothing coming from Willow's room through the baby monitor apart from her sleeping, I quickly popped into her room seeing she was fine but just fast asleep. I quickly headed into the bathroom doing my routine before drying my hair with the blow dryer. It was unfortunately a sunny day today the same as it had been all weekend so Jasper and the others were on a three day hunting trip. Though, they did phone and text me a lot over the weekend, checking up on me and Willow and Dad seeing how our days went.

But as Dad was working a lot over the weekend due to the disappearances, Willow and I spent the weekend or most of it at the Rez which we was going to today after school for a Halloween Bonfire party. Shaking myself out of my thoughts I checked on Willow again seeing she was still asleep, as she was teething last night I quickly put on some lacy black underwear, black leggings, a grey jumper dress, brown boots and a white scarf. And finished it off by adding my pearl stud earrings, my cream watch and braiding my hair into a side fishtail braid as I heard Willow starting to wake up.

"Hi baby." I said smiling happily at my daughter who smiled at me babbling as she kicked her legs excitedly. "Shall we get you ready for your day with grandpa Charlie?" I asked kissing her all over her face making her laugh as I picked her up. Laying her down on the changing table I took off her pyjamas and changed her nappy. Dressing her in a black body suit, some white jeans that had a cat face on the knees, black socks and a blue leopard print jumper finishing off by brushing her curls, and rubbing some more teething gel on her gums.

"There we go my princess." I kissed her as I picked her up holding her carefully as I went downstairs seeing Dad in the kitchen as it was his day off.
"Morning Dad." I said kissing his cheeks getting Willow to wave at him.
"Morning Princess. Here let me feed her so you can finish getting ready for school." Dad said holding out his arms after finishing his coffee. Gratefully I passed Willow to him handing over her breakfast and a bottle after I had warmed it up.

"Thanks dad." I said gratefully sitting down with my own breakfast.
"You don't need to thank me Anna. You know I love spending time with my granddaughter. I'll be going with you to the Rez for the bonfire but there is no way you are getting me in a costume." Dad said making me laugh almost choking on my tea. "What are you and Willow going as?"
"Poison Ivy." I coughed still feeling like something was stuck in my throat, clearing my throat I took another sip of my tea which helped a bit more.
"Bella are you coming to the Halloween bonfire at the Rez?" I asked as she came into the kitchen but as usual I was ignored.

Just then my phone rang on the table showing that Jasper was calling.
"Hi Jazz, are you okay?" I asked answering the phone.
"Hello darlin'," Jasper greeted I could just hear the smile on his face. "I'm perfect my love. How're you and Willow?"
"We're okay we miss you. Hold on I'll put you on speaker so Willow can hear you." I said quickly switching it to speaker.
"Good I'm glad both my girls are alright. Hello my baby girl. Hello Charlie, Bella." Jasper greeted, as soon as Willow heard Jasper's voice she started giggling and kicking her legs on Dad's lap making us laugh.

"Hello Jasper. Someone is excited to hear her daddy's voice." Dad laughed carefully taking a sip of the new coffee I made him. Jasper laughed as he heard that but I could tell by his voice he missed us as much as we missed him.
"I should be back later tonight darlin most likely around ten." Jasper said when there was another voice in the background which sounded like Alice.
"Hi Anna." Alice chirped happily over the phone. "I love your's and Willow's costumes make sure you send me a picture." Alice demanded.

Luckily Bella had left the room for a shower at that point as she still didn't know Dad knew. And we wanted to keep it that way.
"Alice did you steal the phone from Jasper again?" I laughed taking Willow into my arms when she reached for me.
"Of course. He can't keep you all to himself no matter how much he wishes." Alice said in a duh voice making me laugh and Dad to just snort and shake his head.
"Well, I'll text you all later Ali I've got to get ready for school. Can you give it back to Jazz please?" I asked laughing there was more shuffle noise over the phone before Jasper spoke again.

"I love you darlin' both you and Willow." Jasper said sincerely.
"We love you to Jazz. Willow started to crawl last night I sent you the video. Our baby is getting too big." I sighed sadly holding my daughter close kissing her forehead.
" I saw darlin' thank you. I only wish I was there in person. I can't believe she's getting so big either. I'll see you tonight?"
"Yeah. Dad and I will be home around eight. I want to keep Willow in as much a routine as I can."
"Okay darlin' have fun and I'll see you later I love you."
"I love you too."
"Bye darlin'. Bye Charlie."
"Bye Jasper." Dad and I bid goodbye and the phone cut off.

"Mama loves you so much my darling, and I'll see you later. Be good for grandpa." I said lovingly kissing her all over her face making her laugh and giving her one more cuddle before I handed her back to Dad. Now that Bella was out of the bathroom I raced upstairs and did my teeth and used my mouthwash before heading back into my bedroom to pack my bag making sure I had my breast pump in there, I was not making that mistake again. Once that was done I headed downstairs and slipped on my red coat while I waited for Bella. Not five minutes later she came downstairs as sour as ever, shouting bye to Dad I followed her to the truck climbing in the passenger side.

"Why is Jasper always around our house?" Bella hissed as we pulled into the school car park. Rolling my eyes it was the same question since Edward had left and it was getting annoying and fast.
"For the last time Bella. Dad lets him because he wants to spend time with Willow and I as I'm his mate and she is his daughter and he loves us."
"She is not his daughter. He is just playing house." Bella sneered but before she could say anything else I slapped her around the face and climbed out of the truck slamming the door shut and storming into school.

The rest of the school day went rather quickly and I made every effort I could to ignore my sister as I was still rather angry at her. The only one I did talk to out of Bella's friends was Angela Webber, she was a sweet girl and didn't judge anyone like the rest of her friends.
"I'll be back in a minute Angie I need to go to the bathroom." I said groaning rubbing the top of my chest slightly that felt very full. Understanding my problem as she had an older sister she nodded and told me she'll make sure Bella doesn't leave without me.

Thanking her I rushed off to the bathroom quickly using the breast pump. Sighing in relief as the pain left once I was finished I screwed the lid on the bottles placing them in my bag along with the pump I finally left school heading for home.
"Hi Dad." I called entering the house Bella behind me but she just stormed upstairs locking herself in her bedroom.
"Hi Princess. How was school?" Dad asked handing me Willow as he knew I wanted a cuddle with my daughter.

"It was okay." I said telling him about my day feeding Willow one of the bottles out of my bag as they were still warm, when she cried for one. "How's Willow been?"
"She's been good. Her crawling is coming along so well now." Dad sighed taking a sip out of his finally warm cup of coffee. "Though she missed her mother."
"I missed you so much too baby." I said lovingly looking at my daughter who had her eyes trained on me. I kissed her forehead wiping away the milk that escaped her lips. Once she was finished and winded I took her upstairs changing her nappy and dressing her in the Poison Ivy costume and her green shoes, placing her in her cot so I could get ready.

Quickly doing my makeup with dark green eyeshadow, red lip stick to match my red nails, and curling my hair a little more I changed into my costume slipping on my green heels I went back into Willow's nursery restocking her changing bag.
"Shall we spend a picture to Dada, Princess?" I asked her walking back into my room setting the bag on my bed I stood in front of the wardrobe facing the mirror, holding Willow carefully I took a picture of us together before sending it to Jasper. Laying her on the bed I took her coat out of the bag and slipped it on her, so I knew she would be warm enough. I picked her back up placing the bag over my shoulder, walking downstairs I met Dad waiting in the hall with my coat over his arm.

"You both look gorgeous. The buggy and car seat are already in the car. I'll bring your coat in case you get cold Anna." Dad said taking the bag off of me.
"Thanks Dad." I said gratefully. Dad shouted bye to Bella telling her he ordered her a pizza as he knew she wouldn't eat otherwise and we left. Once we were all strapped in Dad sped off to the Rez, I was sat in the back keeping Willow entertained for the twenty minute drive.

Once we arrived outside of Billy's house Dad set up the buggy as soon as he got out so I could place Willow in as she was fast asleep. Strapping her in I covered her with her thick blanket and the cover to make sure she was warm, before finally pulling the hood up to keep the wind off her face. After greeting Billy we followed him into the centre of the Rez where there was a large bonfire and tables full of food from the barbecue that Harry and Sue were cooking.
"Anna!" Seth and Jacob shouted being the first ones to spot us and attracting everyone's attention towards Dad, Billy and I. Who all ran over to us making Dad and Billy laugh.

"I'll leave you to it then kiddo." Dad laughed kissing my head as he and Billy went in the direction of Harry and Sue.
"Hey guys." I greeted hugging Seth and Jake first as they had reached Willow and I first.
"Wow you look amazing Anna." Seth complimented.
"Thanks Spider-Man." I laughed seeing as Seth was dressed as Spider-Man and Jake was dressed as Captain America from Infinity War. "You guys look amazing too." I complemented as the others joined us.

Leah was dressed as Harley Quin, Paul was dressed as Deadpool, Embry was dressed as Black Panther, Quil was dressed as Falcon, Jared was dressed as the Winter Soldier, Sam was dressed as Ironman and finally Emily was dressed as Captain Marvel. I was surprised Emily had managed to convince Sam to dress up if I was honest. I was still mad at him but I was slowly forgiving him.
"You look amazing Anna." Leah said hugging me. "Come we need a picture, is Willow asleep?"
"Yeah she's my mini me tonight." I laughed carefully taking her out without waking her, popping her dummy back into her mouth and unzipping her coat a little showing them the Poison Ivy outfit.

"Oh, she looks so cute and is definitely gorgeous like her mother." Emily gushed taking a picture of me, Leah and Willow together then Embry took her for a cuddle while Leah and I just had a picture together our arms around each other.

Once we had our picture taken I had a picture taken with everyone, then it was a boy's group photo, then us girls, Leah holding Willow then all of us together taken by Sue.
"Is she feeling much better now?" Sam asked hesitantly as Willow was placed back in the buggy, knowing I was still mad at him slightly.
"Yeah she is." I said happily as we all sat around the fire hanging out like we used to before the others shifted. "She started to crawl yesterday."

"Really?" Jake asked around his burger getting a slap on the back of the head from his father as he wheeled by.
"That's disgusting Jacob. I brought you up better that that." He said sternly before he went back towards Dad, Harry, Sue and Quil's grandpa.
"Yeah she's getting so big." I groaned resting my head on Paul's shoulder who had jumped in Leah's seat when she went to get a drink refill for the both us so she just at in front of me in between her brother and Embry. Quil was sat on the floor the buggy in between him and Seth and Emily and Sam sat on the log besides the one I was sat on with Jake and Paul.

The rest of the evening we spent laughing, catching up, and playing games like we used to. It felt amazing to spend time all together like we used to the tension between some of the others pulling away due to them shifting and the rift between Sam, Emily and Leah was practically non existent at the moment and that's how we all liked it.

"Okay, Paul I dare you to... hop around on one leg around the fire clucking like a chicken." I mused making Seth, Quil, Embry and Jacob to roar with laughter. Paul groaned sending a mock glare at me which I just smiled innocently too, as he got up with a dramatic sigh before proceeding to hop around the fire clucking like a chicken as he flapped his arms. The boy's roar of laughter got louder as they rolled around on the floor holding their stomachs as they gasped with laughter, Jared joining them on the floor. Leah and I leaned on each other giggling, Emily tried to smother her laughter with her hand while Sam just rolled his eyes a smile on his face as he laughed at his Beta.

"What are you boys doing?" Sue asked coming over seeing her son and the others rolling around laughing.
"Paul...Deadpool...chicken." Seth gasped in between his laughter making us all laugh again as Paul finally joined us. Sue seeing she wasn't going to get much out of us just shook her head with a small smile on her face as she went back to her husband.
"Alright. Alright. Alright laugh it up." Paul groaned. "It's your turn Anna." He said smirking. "I dare you...to prance around like a ballerina singing Cherry bomb."

"Easy." I exclaimed jumping up from the log once I had stopped laughing.
"Paul did you forget she's a cheerleader and has done Ballet since she was six?" Jared complained.
"Oh shit. I forgot." Paul complained. "Ow! What was that for?!" He exclaimed holding his arm where I had just slapped him.
"No swearing in front of Willow." I scolded glaring at him before moving behind them and doing the dance routine from one of the big games back in Phoenix.

After another round of truth or dare, though we all just did dares, Dad came over as it was time to go. Saying goodbye to everyone I followed Dad towards his car pushing Willow in her buggy. "You looked like you had fun Princess." Dad said happily.
"I really did. Thanks for coming too Daddy." I said hugging him once Willow was back in her car seat.
"No problem Princess." Dad said smiling as he pulled out of Billy's driveway. I must have fell asleep, as the next thing I knew I was being carefully shaken awake by a cold hand as a familiar scent filled my nose; cinnamon.

"Jasper?" I asked groggily. I blinked a couple of times not believing he was here early.
"Jasper!" I shouted happily wrapping my arms around his neck burying my head in his neck breathing in his scent when I realised he was actually here and I wasn't dreaming.
"Hello darlin' I missed you too." Jasper said kissing the top of my head. "Your Dad took Willow in to bath and put her to bed." He told me as he helped me out of the car. "Did you have fun at the Rez?"
"Oh I really did." I said happily taking Jasper's hand intwining our fingers after locking Dad's car he must have given Jasper the keys, as I told him all about the party. 

"I'm glad you had fun my love but let's get you inside your freezing." Jasper said taking off his jacket and draping it round my shoulders as we walked up the steps. As soon as we entered the house I sighed in relief as the warmth hit me I didn't even realise I was so cold. Placing Dad's keys in the bowl by the door Jasper and I bid goodnight to Dad as we went up to my room, or rather our room now. Taking off my makeup quickly I changed into my warm fluffy Olaf pyjamas placing my costume in the washing basket in the bathroom I climbed into bed with Jasper after we had kissed Willow goodnight.

"I missed you Jasper." I whispered against his lips, pressing feather light kisses.
"I missed you too darlin' both of you." Jasper said equally as quietly as he tried to kiss me but I kept moving my head away giggling when he groaned. Getting fed up Jasper growled rolling us over pinning my arms to the bed laying between my legs.
"Now that wasn't very nice darlin'!" Jasper growled before merging our lips together in a very passionate kiss. The first one we've shared in days.
