Butterflies

Ch. 1 – A Broken Little Bella

EPOV

Emmett and I were hunting in the area. Carlisle didn't want us off too far and Emmett thinks I'm depressed and lonely. So what? Even if I was who was he to tell me. And right now I feel even lonelier because of Emmett's thoughts.

I bet Rosie misses me. God she's hot. I say soon as I get home I should give her some. He looks over at me. Sorry, Eddie.

"Don't call me Eddie." I growled at him. I hate it when people call me Eddie. My name is Edward not Eddie.

"Sure, Sure." He runs off after a small deer. I follow after him doing the same. When I smell this scent that smells better than a deer but not good enough to be a grown human. I follow my instincts when Emmett must have smelt it too.

"EDDIE! NO! REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE!" He yells but I come to a sudden stop when my idiotic brother stops and slams into my back not that it hurt but it makes him look stupid. I see this small girl only about 2 or 3 years old laying on the ground, sobbing, she has a gash across her forehead. Emmett looks at me. I walk over to this small child. She sure is a pretty little thing.

"Are you alright?" I ask suddenly. She looks up at me with two big brown eyes that are red and puffy from crying so much.

"No, I cwan't fwind me momma or daddy." She asked with a extremely sad expression. I looked back at Emmett, who remained silent.

"Will you come with me so I can help you?" I tried to be gentle with her.

"My daddy says nevah to talk to stwangers." She reasoned with me. Very smart little girl.

"If we get to know each other, will I still be a stranger?" I yet again tried with this stubborn little one.

"Um… I'm Bwella. Who you?"

"I'm Edward Cullen and that's my brother Emmett. Will you please come with me? I will take you to the doctors so we can get you head fixed and I will try to help you." She nodded and raised her arms for me to pick her up. As so I did. I need to warn her to hold on tight. "Bella, hold on as tight as you can."

"Okie, Edward." And she did as told. Emmett started to run and I did too but slower and Bella tucked her head into my chest. It's weird; I cannot read a thought this little girl has. And as much as I despise humans, there is something about Bella that makes me feel very protective of her. I don't want anything to happen to her. Ever.

"Edward?" Little Bella tugged on my shirt.

"Yes, Bella?"

"Where we go?"

"The hospital. But don't worry, the doctor is my father and he is very very nice." I tried to comfort her because when I said hospital, she was absolutely terrified.

"Um.. okay." She said sounded a little nervous. I went against my good judgement and kissed her on her head. She looked up at me and blushed as red as a rose. It was too damn cute! Just then we were out front the hospital. Emmett was waiting outside.

"Carlisle's waiting inside. I explained what's going on." Emmett told me as I put Bella down and she grabbed my cold hand. She didn't flinch when she felt the cold. I walked her inside and saw Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Alice, and Jasper waiting for us.

Carlisle was the one to speak. "Bella, will you come with me so I can fix your head and then my wife Esme will drive you to our house." Bella looked up at me and I nodded then she walked slowly over to Carlisle. She grabbed his hand and they disappeared into the hospital.

"Edward, I am so happy you found little Bella." Esme gave me a hug. Alice was twice as bouncy as usual.

"Edward, I know you're worried about this but don't worry. Bella will be fine with us. Really. Right Jazz?," He nodded at me. "Rose?"

"I have to say I am quite impressed Edward, she didn't look scared of you at all. She kinda looked like she well liked you. But how do you feel about this little human?" That kind of caught me off guard. Well yes, I love this little girl but I can't just tell them that.

"I am extremely fond of her. There's something different about her. She can make me, the most stubborn vampire out there. Enjoy being in her company." I hope that doesn't sound corny. But my family's thoughts were comforting.

Wow! Eddie likes a human! This is nuts! Okay, well not really Emmett.

This is all very confusing. God! Edward's freaking emotions. I threw Jasper a sympathy look and he soon smiled.

I hope Carlisle and Esme want to keep Bella. I would love to be her mother. And for Emmett to be her father. Gee, I wonder why Edward has decided to give her a chance?

Yay! If she stays I get a new shopping buddy. That will be so fun! I hope Edward's really alright with all this not just trying to make us all feel better. I smiled at Alice.

Maybe Carlisle will want to keep Bella. I don't think I will let her go. She's too darn cute for her own good! Myself and Carlisle will have an important discussion tonight. And I'm so happy Edward likes her!

After listening to their thought for what seemed to be a short amount of time, Carlisle walked out with sweet Bella by his side. She had stitches by her eye brow. But she looked happy. Bella let go of Carlisle's hand and ran to my side. I smiled at her and she did her little blush again. She took my hand and was ready to get out of there.

"Can we gwo, Edward?" She looked at me as did my family.

"Sure, Bella." She smiled and was ready to go into the vampire house.
