Bella Leticia Zambada-García sat in the car, her chin in the palm of her hand. She was now only minutes away from her old house and had a heavy feeling in her stomach. It was weird being back, all those familiar streets she grew up running around in. She grinned, the South Side was her real home. Bella was excited to see V and Kev, they always acted like parents to her and she knew she could come the them for anything. When the car finally halted and her eyes fell upon that brown house she couldn't contain her excitement. The man got out and went around the car, opening the door for her and she steps out. He got the luggage and looked at her for an idea of where to put them.

"Puedes ponerlos en mi cuarto. Es el primero a la izquierda cuando subes las escaleras" She says kindly and he nods. "Muchas gracías"
Translation:[You can put them in my room. It's the first on the left when you go up the stairs...Thank you very much]

When she turns around she sees Fiona Gallagher and some man standing in the yard. Then she notices the young boy with them and can't contain her excitement. "Liam!" She gasps and he waves, smiling as she runs to the gate.

Fiona has to take a step back and look at the girl because she knows she's seen her before. And then it clicks in her mind. "Bella?!" She asks in shock and the girl nods. Fiona chuckles, walking forward and hugging her before grabbing her arms to look at her. "You grew up!" She says in awe and the teen chuckles. "You look so different"

"That's what everyone says" Bella rocks back and forth on her feet, knowing Carl could possibly be inside. Bella notices the ankle bracelet on Fiona but she chooses to ignore it, she figures she'll find out soon enough.

Fiona turns to the man beside her before speaking. "This is my friend Sean" She introduces, and the man shakes the young girl's hand. "This is Bella. She used to live across the street and was like the love of Carl's life" She laughs.

"Pleasure to meet you" He smiles and she nods politely.

"Well uh, I wanted to go see V and Kev before I say hi to everyone" She turns around to look at their house. "Is Carl home?" She asks hopefully and Fiona nods.

"Yeah, he's inside. Probably just waking up"

Bella nods and leaves the yard, walking up to V's house. She knocks on the door and Kev answers, holding a beautiful baby girl in his hand. Bella gasps and he furrow his eyebrows trying to figure out who the hell she is. Veronica walks up to the door, holding their other baby and gasps at the sight of the girl. "Bella!" She exclaims, giving the girl a hug. "Oh you're so big!" She gushes, patting her cheek then her head affectionately. Kevin's face lights up when he finally connects the dots.

"Oh my God!" He says in shock, hugging her. "This is so weird. You're like a woman now"

"Well I don't know about that" The teen laughs, rubbing the back of her neck. "I just wanted to stop by and say hi before I start unpacking. I'm back" She grins and the woman hugs her again.

"I'm so glad. I worry about you, you know? I always thought about if you're doing okay with that crazy ass mother of yours" She keeps her arm around Bella. "We're about to put the girls down for a nap but I promise we will catch up" She kisses Bella's forehead and teen waves bye to Kev before walking down the front steps.

When Fiona Gallagher entered her house she immediately began looking for her kid brother. She spotted him in the kitchen beside Lip and Debbie as Sean followed. "Carl!" She points and he looks at her confusedly. "Bella's back and she got like really pretty" She says, waving her arms and the teen gets up-struggling due to his crutches. "You might wanna fix yourself up" She points and he goes as fast as those crutches can carry him and enters the bathroom to look at himself.
