New iPhone, new Apple ID. But the built in apps won't update.

I got my first iPhone, when my mom got it for me, she signed in with the family ID when the preloaded apps appeared (like keynote and pages) now these and other apps need updates but I started using my Apple ID when she gave the phone to me. Now these apps need updates, but they can only be updated through my mom's Apple ID. But then I would be locked out of mine on my phone. So I deleted one or two, thinking they came automatically with my phone. When I went back to reload them they cost $9.99 and up! But I had them originally with my phone! is there a way I can get those apps as if I had started this phone with my ID? And does anyone know for sure if it will work?

You never purchased them with your current Apple ID. Their ownership is tied to the other Apple ID. That does not transfer. You will have to re-purchase all purchased apps using your new Apple ID and a new iTunes account.
You can call Apple to see if they will help you out, but not assurances that they will:
