Chapter 1

Baby in a blanket

Alice's pov

I had a vision that I would find her. She would be out in the cold and alone. I couldn't just leave her there to die. She couldn't have been more then three months old. There was a rustle to my left. I could smell her. I went over to the bush and behind it was a little blanket with a baby in it. I picked up the child and found a note attached to the blanket.

To anyone who finds this baby:

Her name is Isabella. She is three months old. Please take care of her; please do what I could not do for her.

There was nothing else on the note. Nothing to tell me who this baby's parents were, or where she is from. I looked down at the Isabella, she was so small. Isabella had big brown eyes and brown fuzz on her head. I smiled at her; I had to get her home. With that I turned on my heel with Isabella in my arms. Jasper was waiting for me at the door. I had told him of my vision. He wrapped an arm around my waist and looked down at Isabella as we went inside.

"Esme." I called out to her. Esme would know what to do. Esme came and looked at me over, her eyes freezing on the baby in my arms. She came over slowly, and opened her arms and I gave her Isabella.

"Who is this Alice? Where did you find her? Does she have a family?" Esme said this all in a rush, she didn't take her eyes off of Isabella.

"Her name is Isabella, she is three months old. I found her in the woods and this was with her when I found her." I said as I hand her the note. She shifted Isabella to one arm and took the note with the other and read it and re-read it.

"Let's get her out of these clothes."

I squealed. We were going to keep her! I always wanted a little sister! "Should call Carlisle?"

"Yes." Esme said, I heard cooing in another room. I smiled at that, Esme would finally get to be a mother.

Es pov

I can't believe it! I never thought I would get to raise a child! I mean, I have Edward, Rosalie, Emmet, Jasper, and Alice but they were already grown up. I want to keep Isabella. I feel in love with her as soon as I saw her in Alice's arms.

"Esme, they are on their way home." Alice said, as she came into the kitchen. I smiled she was practically jumping up and down. I had gotten the old blanket off and Alice handed me a new one and one of Edward's shirts. I gave her a look.

"What? Did you think I would give her one of mine? Besides, Edward won't mind, he has nine more shirts just like this!"

I shook my head and got Isabella out of the awful clothes that she was in and put the on her. She seemed to like it; she smiled when Edward's shirt was on her. Alice and I giggled. No sooner did I have the blanket on Isabella and in my arms rocking her back and forth was Rosalie in the room squealing.

"Can I hold her?" Rosalie said as she opened her arms and I gave Isabella to her. Rosalie practically glowed when she held Isabella. The others filed into the kitchen. Everyone gathered around Isabella and was in love at first sight with Isabella.

"Can we keep her?" Alice said. I looked at my husband who looked at me and I nodded.

"I will have the adoption papers tomorrow. We will just have to be careful if we are going to keep her." Carlisle said.

Ew pov

They said we could keep the baby. When I saw Isabella, I knew that I would protect her, no matter what. I don't know why I felt this way towards her, I just did. I went over to Rosalie and held my arms out. She gave me a look that said do I have to? I nodded. She handed Isabella over to me. She fits perfectly in my arms. Isabella looked up at me and giggled a baby giggle. I smiled; she was the most adorable thing ever. I noticed she was in one of my shirts. I went into the living room where I lied down on the floor and threw Isabella up in the air and caught her. I was rewarded with baby squeals and smiles. I laughed. She was so cute. It was around six when Isabella's eyes started to droop. She must be tired. As I reading my thoughts, Esme said, "Edward, how about you take Isabella to your room, we will have her room ready tomorrow." I nodded and took Isabella to my room where I sat on the couch and kept her in my arms. I didn't want to let go of her. She fell asleep as soon as I stopped moving. I sat like that all night, just watching her.

B pov

It has been fourteen years, three months, nine day, five hours, nineteen minutes, and seven seconds since that day. I am fourteen years old; I start high school this year with all my other brothers and sisters. I will be attending Forks High School in Washington. Today is freshman orientation. I am so excited I can barely stop myself from jumping up and down. I dressed quickly in dark blue skinny jeans and a olivey green top that makes my boobs look bigger. I put on a pair of heeled boots and grabbed my purse. I was ready. Alice and Edward were also going to start out as freshman. I knew they were vampires, I knew that my whole family is vampires. i know that and I don't mind. I have known since I was two.

Flashback…twelve year, three months, nine day, five hours, nineteen minutes, and seven seconds ago.

"Mommy." I called out to Esme. Esme looked up from the other side of the kitchen island (that little separate part in the kitchen that's built in and has chairs and stuff) she smiled and replied, "What is it love?"

"Mommy, are you, daddy, Eddie, Alice, Rosie, Emmet, and Jazzy vampires?"

Mommy stopped what she was doing. She looked at me very seriously and said, "Yes, we are. But you can't tell other people. Okay, Bella?"

I nodded my head and smiled at mommy.

End of flashback…

I yawned and walked out of my room. I ran start into a cold hard chest. "Ow."

"Sorry, Bella! You ready for high school?" Alice said, of course. I should of known Alice would be waiting for me right outside my door.

"Yeah. As ready as I ever will be." I said, and I cracked a smile. Who was I kidding? I was so excited! Its high school! Alice just laughed and looped one of her arms around my empty one. We walked into the kitchen and there was mom making me breakfast.

"Morning Mom." I said as I went over and kissed her cheek.

"Morning love."

She had made me chocolate chip waffles. My favorite! I went over to the kitchen island and sat down. Mom slid the waffles onto my plate and kissed my forehead. I finished quick and asked Alice if she was ready.

"A little excited, Bella?" Alice said.

"Maybe a little." I smiled.

"Well, just one second. Edward! Are you coming!" that last part wasn't a question it was a statement.

Someone, I'm guessing Emmet came up behind me and gave me a giant bear hug.

"Can't…breathe…" I was able to say in between breathes. I heard a chuckle and I was let go.

"Sorry Squirt. I just can't believe you're in high school. You've joined the big kids now." Emmet said and he petted my head.

"I'm not a dog. You don't have to pet my head."

I got a big laugh out of him and another bear hug.

"Can't breathe again…" He chuckled and put me down. Alice pulled me away and said, "Come on lets go. We're taking my car."

I smiled, I loved Alice's yellow Porsche. "Find but I'm not sitting in the back."

Alice nodded. "EDWARD! If you don't get down here in three seconds we are leaving without you! This is Bella's first day of high school, don't make us late!" Alice yelled. I could even start to count before I was pulled into a hug and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Yeah, I am."

We said good bye to everyone and left. I sat shotgun and Edward sat in the back, playing with my hair. (Edward and Bella are together already.) Alice was driving, obliviously. No one said a word until we got to school. I hopped out of the car and Edward came up behind me and wrapped an arm around my waist. I giggled and Alice said, "Save that for the house." Edward laughed at that and pulled me closer to him.
