I recently had to do a clean up on my mac book 13" retina to release some memory space and accidentally removed Pages and Numbers thinking I was removing older versions. Time Machine doesnt appear to be backing up as I can only see from yesterday.
How can I replace or retrieve without having to pay for them as they came with my Mac Book when purchased.

You own a copy of iWork which came with your computer.
You should be able to reinstall from the App Store free of charge - simply find Pages and Numbers in App Store and you should be able to re-download them.
I bought iWork 09 on Disc when I bought my first Macbook and have been able to update it repeatedly and reinstall on new machines via App store without re-purchasing.
Hi, the IWork came pre-installed whenI bought my new Mac Book late 2012, when I go to the app store it tells me that IMovie etc are already installed but the only option for Pages and Numbers is to pay for it.
Go to Apple and explain what has happened.
Helps if you have a receipt with proof of purchase but they should be able to look up your details.
