========================

A/N:

Things will start to change from cannon only after few more chapter's there would be changes even in the beginning but only some changes and plot of first few chapters won't change for Bella's pont of view at the very least.

========================

Our father, Chief Charlie Swan, arrived to pick us up in his police car, a familiar sight that mirrored his position of authority in Forks. As we settled into the vehicle, a mix of nostalgia and anticipation filled the air. Charlie couldn't help but remark on our appearances, his eyes lingering on my deep violet eyes.

"Your eyes still look beautiful." Charlie says looking at my deep violet eyes.

"Yeah. It always has been." I replied to his awkward question.

"Your hair is longer." Charlie says to Bella to have a conversation.

Bella replied saying. "I cut it since last time I saw you."

"Oh! Guess it grew out again." Charlie replied as we reach our new home

Arriving at our new home, we stepped out of the car and gathered our belongings. As we made our way inside, Charlie reminded us about the limited bathroom situation, a detail that hadn't changed since our last visit.

Once in our respective rooms, I took a moment to appreciate the familiarity and comfort of my surroundings. My room remained unchanged, a small haven of familiarity amidst the uncertainties that awaited us. Leaving my belongings behind, I ventured to Bella's room, where Charlie was lending a helping hand.

Observing the awkward exchange between Bella and Charlie, I felt a sense of relief that I wasn't the one caught in their slightly uncomfortable conversation. Approaching Bella, I noticed a honk from outside, capturing our attention. Looking out, I saw a red pickup truck parked nearby, accompanied by three individuals, one of them in a wheelchair.

We got down to check out. And we saw a familiar face as Charlie spoke. "Bella, Max, do you remember Billy Black?"

I nodded with a smile, recalling the times we had spent together in the past. "Of course, I remember Billy. Good to see you again."

Bella echoed my sentiment, her tone filled with genuine warmth. "Yeah, you're looking good now, Billy."

Shaking hands with Billy, I discreetly used my Biological Manipulation to alleviate the discomfort in his feet, a subtle gesture to aid him. It would take some time for the effects to fully manifest, but I hoped it would bring him relief.

After Billy spoke about how excited Charlie was about us coming back, the guy next to Billy spoke. "Hi I'm Jacob. We used to make mud pies when we were little while Max makes us eat them by smashing our faces in them."

"Yeah, now I remember." Bella said while looking at me with a glare.

I just laughed it out. "So." I look at Charlie and Billy messing around, bro style and speaking. "Are they always like this?"

Jacob nods. "Yeah and it's getting worse due to old age."

I nodded, chuckling along. "Seems like it. But it's good to see them enjoying each other's company."

Charlie, noticing our conversation, approached us, gesturing towards the red truck parked nearby. "So, what do you think of this?"

Bella looked intrigued, seeking clarification. "This? What's going on?"

"This is your homecoming present. It's nothing like Max's cars but I know you like these better." Charlie spoke and it's true as, I once gave a Chevrolet Corvette but she said she doesn't want one soon I just use it now. My car should come to us in about 3 hours after some maintenance.

"I bought it off billy." Chat says and Billy just nods happily.

Bella's eyes widened with a mix of surprise and curiosity. She approached the red truck, examining it with growing interest. "You bought it off Billy?" she asked, seeking confirmation.

Charlie nodded proudly. "That's right. I thought it would be a fitting gift, considering your preference for something practical. Jacob here helped me rebuild the engine."

Jacob chimed in with excitement, unable to contain his enthusiasm. "Yeah, I put in a lot of work to make it run like a dream. You're gonna love it, Bella!"

Bella's expression transformed into a blend of gratitude and excitement. "Thank you, Charlie. It's perfect," she said, her voice filled with genuine appreciation.

I couldn't help but join in, adding my own touch of humor. "Well, Bella, now you have a set of wheels that doesn't come with a high-speed chase warning. Enjoy the smooth rides."

Jacob gives the ture of the truck and how to use it to Bella. Laughter filled the air as we basked in the warmth of this moment, embracing the newfound connections and the sense of belonging that Forks was beginning to offer. It was a glimpse of the ordinary life we had yearned for, a life where we could blend in and forge genuine relationship's.

After some time, my newly modified car arrived, gleaming under the sunlight. Eager to test it out, I approached Jacob and Billy, who were still lingering nearby. With a playful smile, I extended an invitation to them.

"Hey, guys. Want to take a ride in my car?" I asked, glancing at the sleek 2005 Chevrolet Corvette Z51 parked nearby.

Billy chuckled warmly, knowing he couldn't partake in the joyride due to his wheelchair. "You kids go ahead and have fun. I'll stay here and hold down the fort."

Jacob, on the other hand, hesitated, his eyes glancing nervously at the pristine vehicle. "I don't know, Max. I'm not sure if I'll handle it properly. I wouldn't want to damage such a beauty."

I just nod and park the car.
