They would have never left us with this responsibility if they didn't believe we could do it." – "I guess. I mean how hard could it be?"

The rain pelted my face as I ran through the hospital parking lot, praying to fucking god that this was some kind of sick joke. That the two bodies of my sister and her husband wouldn't be lying on two metal tables, white sheets hung loosely over their bodies. Praying to god that they got the wrong ID and it was a couple that was identical to the newlyweds. As terrible as I knew that sounded, I still prayed for it to be true. I almost slammed into the automatic doors, but they opened just in time. Today was a bad day to wear heels. My eyes scanned the hectic ER before stopping at the sign in desk.

"Bella Swan. I'm here to…" it caught in my throat. ID my sister. I tried to swallow it down but it wouldn't budge. The knot in my windpipe wouldn't let me speak. The nurse only nodded sadly before bringing me back into the room they were in. There were two beds in the room, and lumps under white sheets indicated the very obvious.

"Ma'am. Are you ready?" I looked over at the nurse next to me, nodding. He walked over towards the left bed, and I followed.

"Okay." I whispered. He pulled the sheet back until it rested on her collar bones. Her caramel colored hair was packed with dirt, and half of her natural ringlets were bunched up and colored with dark, dried up blood. It was my sister, only it wasn't. Her face looked cold and pale, unlike her usual rosy and bright complexion. She had a small smile on her face, only it wasn't the happy, upbeat smile she would always throw my way. Her eyes were open, and they held absolutely no life at all. I felt the sob rising in my throat, and failed to smother it as it burst from my lips. I looked to the nurse and he nodded. As he started to raise the sheet back up I stopped him, and reached my hand up to close her eyes. I snapped my hand back almost immediately after. Her skin was freezing; So cold it felt like an ice cube. I sunk down into the chair next to her bed and let the sobs overtake my body. I didn't know how long I had been sitting there. It felt like years before the nurse came back with the paper work. He handed me a clipboard and went over things I couldn't comprehend at the moment as I signed my name on the witness sheet. It wasn't until the nurse walked out of the room that I noticed someone else sitting on the opposite side. When I looked his way he got up and walked over to my side of the bed, extending his hand.

"Hi, I'm Edward Cullen. You must be Bella?" his voice was smooth, and it made me want to go to sleep. I shook his hand politely and nodded. There was a moment's pause that lasted a while. Neither of us tried to break it. He sat down on the chair next to me. Carmen had told me many things about Eleazar's best friend. I had briefly met him at their wedding, he was the best man, and I was the maid of honor. He bolted after his toast and I never really saw him again. I knew that he traveled the world for some fancy business of his. I also knew that both of Eleazar's parents were dead and he had no siblings. This explains why he's here instead of family. As I was about to say something, the nurse came back into the room.

"The police want to talk to the both of you." He led us to a private room where two uniformed men stood taut, almost uncomfortable.

"Miss. Swan, Mr. Cullen, I'm very sorry for your loss. At the moment we cannot reach the lawyer in charge of the Reeves' will, but you are the only immediate family we have contact for. This is about their daughter, Marcy…" I didn't hear the rest. Marcy. How could I have forgotten about Marcy. I collapsed into a chair and cried. I couldn't think straight. I was numb. I stared off into space until the cops left. I didn't comprehend anything until Edward shook my shoulders gently. My eyes readjusted and I stared back at him. I had a sudden urge for answers.

"What did he say?" it came out softer than I thought it would. I cleared my throat before trying again. "What did the cop say?" Edward's face looked grim. He sat down in a chair across the room from me, staring at me as if I might shatter. He looked as if he were searching for the right words before he finally spoke.

"Marcy is in foster care at the moment. We'll know more about it tomorrow morning. Officer Joe said that the will states if anything bad were to happen to them, we were to take care of her. If we don't take her, she'd permanently be in foster care. The only person left on Eleazar's side is his Granddad Bill, and he's way too old to take her. Is there anyone on your side?" I thought about Mom and Phil. No. They were entirely too unpredictable. They hop from state to state and never have a permanent residence. The thought of Charlie brought pains to my stomach.

"No." I whispered.

"I have a business to take care of, Bella. What am I going to do? I don't have time for a kid! I'm too young for this shit! But I can't leave Marcy. I know I can't. I wouldn't ever leave her in foster care. I don't have the heart for it." During his entire rant he went from pacing the floor to sitting back in the chair, all the while clutching the bridge of his nose like it had all of the answers, and somehow doing that would help him decide. I smiled at him before clearing my throat.

"You aren't at all what Carmen described you to be." I sat back in my chair and crossed my legs. I thought about our circumstance for a while. My apartment might not be big enough, unless I clean out the studio and turn it into a nursery. I looked up and he was staring at me intently. It wasn't until then that I realized how green his eyes truly were. I shifted my gaze to my shoes.

"I'm going to take her. You don't have to worry about it." My mind had already been made up. I know I might not be very qualified to be a mother, but I knew I couldn't leave her. I wouldn't. She needs me. I looked over just in time to see the hesitance on his face turn to irritation.

"You're not doing it by yourself. As important as my job is to me she comes first." He had a look of desperation that silenced any protests I might have had. I only nodded.

The lawyer walked in at that exact moment with a folder in his hands. He went over the will twice, and unfortunately there was something the police forgot to mention to us.

"Their house?" Edward said incredulously.

"They gave us their house? What about the mortgage?" I felt like my eyes were bugging out of my forehead. The lawyer merely nodded.

"Completely paid off. They handled their money well and they don't owe a penny. Makes sense, doesn't it? I'm sure your bachelor pad isn't fit for a child, Mr. Cullen. And the apartment above your bakery is entirely too small, Miss Swan. It's only fitting." We were both silent.

"If you're going to take her in I need the signatures now." I met Edwards gaze.

"Can we do this?" I whispered. He looked at me with a determined look on his face. He picked up the pen and signed his name, handing it to me afterwards. I silently signed it and the lawyer went over the rest of the details. Marcy would be brought to their…our house in the morning at 9 am.

I had my answer.

A/N: REVIEWS ARE LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN AND I WANT THEM IN MY VAN. I HAVE CANDY. COME TO THE DARK SIDE.

I feel like this is more of a prologue because it's so short but I don't really want to TITLE it as a prologue, you know? so pretend. Anyway. Thanks for reading! Please review and let me know if you like it! I'm thinking that I'm going to update every Wednesday. Yeah. So expect Chapter 2 next Wednesday and stay tuned so we can meet Marcy!
