Chapter 1
Emmett, Edward, Jasper, and Carlisle were on their way to New York, just as Alice had said. Carlisle was driving and Edward sat beside him in the passenger seat, looking to the back seat with an amused look. Emmett's thoughts were all over the place. Poor Jasper's thoughts were the same but not quite for the same reason. Emmett could barely sit still, he was anxious, very much so, that Jasper could barely stand being so close to him. Emmett couldn't believe what they were doing. He can still hear Alice's words clearly in his head
Flashback (Emmett POV)
We were seating in the living room, just like every other day, but the difference today was in the floor. In the floor were Bella and Rosie playing with Nessie. My Rosie had the most beautiful smile adorning her breath-taking face. I couldn't believe how much little Nessie has made her this happy. Nessie was 5 years old, but looked like a 13 year old. Everyone was gathering around them just watching them. Even the mutts were with us, who would have thought that little Nessie's birth was what it took to bring that female mutt inside; after all she "hates" us. Back to my Rosie, I can't believe just how beautiful she looks just sitting there playing with a kid, I wonder what would it be like to have a kid of our own, we would have to adopt though. Then I heard Alice gasp, when I looked she had this far away look that indicated that she was having a vision, then suddenly she smiled, a wide beautiful smile that lighted all of her features, when I looked at Edward he had the same look, I suppose seeing the same thing as Alice. She looked at me and started bouncing in place then said "That's the best decision you could have ever made." I looked at her with confusion, then I looked down at Rosie who was looking at me with confusion written all over her beautiful face, we locked eyes, then looked back at Alice, then it dawned on me, 'decision', Alice visions work when somebody makes a decision, and I just thought about…
"No way, is it…" I exclaimed cracking a smile. Rose looked at me and came to my side in a flash, she looked confused and worried. "What is it Emm?" she asked clearly concerned, I noticed that her face mirrored everyone else's.
"This is the best," Alice said enthusiastically "that's the best news ever, I already saw it and trust me, your best decision ever."She came over to me and hugged me. "I think we should share the news with everyone else Alice" Edward said with an amused face, clearly after hearing everyone's thoughts. He looked at me and nodded. "What do you have to tell us, what's going on Ali" asked Jasper, that even thought he sounded worried he's face showed many emotions.
"Well…" I started "I was thinking of how happy and beautiful my Rosie looked down there playing with Nessie." Rose looked at me and smiled a lovingly smile that made my insides goo." Then I thought how amazing it would be if we had a kid of our own, but since that's not possible it would be nice if we…" I trailed off. Rose gasped and looked at me clearly understanding what I was saying and connecting it with what Alice said. She looked like if she could cry she would be already shedding happy tears. Then she climbed on my lap and hugged me while saying "Thank you, thank you…" and repeating it like a mantra.
End Flashback
Emmett POV
So here we were just like Alice commanded, going straight to New York, Edward knows where we have to go, and also she said that only the men could go, and that the girls had to stay behind and inform Sam Uley of our new addition. I have no idea how am I going to find the perfect kid without my Rosie's help. But Alice said that I only had to ask to see every single kid and that I will know the moment I saw 'The One'. Honestly I can barely stay in place I'm so anxious and worried I won't be able to find the right one.
"Emmet relax!" Edward exclaimed from the front, of course because he is not the one at stake here. He looked pointedly at me and said "Trust me you'll see, the moment you see her you know she is 'The One'" Wait what? SHE is a she. Awesome! Edward had his eyes wide just like mine, except for different reasons. "So is a girl!" Jasper exclaimed from next to me. Carlisle was chuckling, and Edward gave and exasperated sigh.
In less than an hour we were there. Carlisle was in charge of formalities and papers, while Jasper and Edward were with me going with a woman who was supposedly trying to seduce us by swaying her hips in front of us. Now I believe that the only thing she will seduce is a horse with a sway like that. Please she barely reaches my Rosie's talons. She showed us many, many kids from all ages, they were all so cute, but none of them were 'The One'. When she had showed us the entire orphanatory, I asked her if those we all the kids, she said that there was one left, and she showed us to a garage, "Now, she is a little weird, even for her looks and age, and the reason why we are here is because she loves to fix cars, is sort of a hobby of hers." She replied batting her eyelashes, I was about to ask her if she had something in her eyes, when what she said sink in, FIX. CARS. HOBBY. There was a PANG in my dead heart. I felt something but I put it behind as she guided us to the back were we could see the feet of a girl under a car. "Elizabeth, be a dear and come out, somebody would like to meet you!" The woman said in a sing-a-song kind of voice. "Why don't you be a dear, and leave me the FUCK alone!" Another PANG to my dead heart when I heard a beautiful voice with a bitchy attitude which reminds me of my Rosie. "Don't be like that dear, and come on out!" The woman tried to sound nice, but it came out forced, and then the beautiful girl's voice said again "Why do you sound so…. What is the word, o right nice! Wait let me guess, the person you want me to meet is hot, and you are trying to impress him, you know you shouldn't sound so forced when you talk to people like that." A booming laugh came from under the car, and I couldn't help but let my booming laugh out either, while Jasper was trying to stifle a laugh and Edward was giggling like a stupid school girl. The woman looked like she wanted to kill the girl, and was red to her hair, poor. Then the girl decided to come out, the moment she stood up, Edward, Jasper and I let out a gasp simultaneously. She was beautiful, but that is not exactly what impressed us, she had golden hair that fell to her middle back, just like Rose. Her face was beautiful and had pouty lips, and she looked a lot like my Rosie, but somehow she reminded me of myself too. Her eyes were the most beautiful blue just like me in my human life. When she saw us she smiled, and what is that? She had dimples just like me. She was the perfect combination of Rosie and me. Even her attitude she can be just like my Rosie when pissed off, but she is funny like me. She was looking at me the same way I was looking at her, I smiled and she smiled. I'm sure she saw the similes between us, from the corner of my eye I saw Edward nodding. "Hi, I'm Emmett, and these are my brothers Edward, and Jasper." I said introducing us, I saw that she was eying us probable trying to find how do we look alike, so I rapidly added, "we're adopted brothers!"And her face changed to understanding. "Well hello Emmett, Edward and Jasper, I'm Elizabeth, many call me Eli, or Eliza, but you may call me however you like. You guys look like nice guys but I really gotta finish fixing the car, I hope you don't mind if I go and continue working." She said and went back to work, her voice was like a bell, and her smell, I can't believe I didn't notice before she smelled somehow like Nessie, and her skin is pale but has a blush, and her heart is beating frantically in her chest. Then that means that she is a vampire-human hybrid too? Edward nodded in agreement, I couldn't believe it, I did not only just found the perfect daughter for Rosalie and me, but she is half vampire too. This is one of the best days ever. I told Edward through my thoughts to call Carlisle and tell him I found her, and he left phone in hand. I looked at Jasper and we both smiled. "Elizabeth, may we ask you a question?" Jasper asked with his southern hospitality. "Sure go ahead!" Elizabeth said enthusiastically while moving around in the bottom of the car. "What would you say if we told you that we would like for you to join our family?" I asked, she stopped moving completely, and somehow I could already imagine her eyes wide and about to jump out of her beautiful face, and by what I can hear her breath stopped, she came out of the car, at the same time the woman, who we forgot was still there, said "Are you sure, I mean she is a little bit different, and not exactly has anyone wanted to adopt her before, clearly is because there is something wrong with her." She said in a matter-of-factly voice, I wanted to kill her right there, how dare she talk like that about her. I felt a wave of calm, and nodded to Jasper my thanks for calming me down. When I looked at Elizabeth her face was a mixture of anger and sadness. I know that I just met her, but seeing her like that broke my dead heart. I walked towards her and embrace her in a hug, trying to show her with this gesture the already undying love I was starting to feel for her. "Hey, you haven't answered my question, what do you say, I can make an awesome dad." I told her with confidence, she looked at me confused, and then her whole face lit up and she smiled one of the most breath taking smiles known to anyone."Yes, yes, yes, I would love to be a part of your family; I would even be a dog as long as you take me with you!" She answered hugging me with enough strength to kill a human. I was the happiest man alive, or dead, or whatever. I can't wait to tell Rosie, she's going to love her I can already see it, and she is the perfect combination. "Well let's go so that we can finish those papers, and get out of here!" I told her she laughed at my enthusiasm. We walked to the principal's office talking about anything and everything. I told her that I was a vampire and she told me she was a vampire-human hybrid. I told her Edward's story, I told her about Bella and about Nessie, and how they are the same age and all. Outside of the office were Carlisle and Edward waiting for us, when Carlisle saw Liza he gasped."My, you really are a beautiful young lady, is as if you were their real daughter." Carlisle voiced his thoughts, when I looked at Liza she was biting her bottom lip and had a confused expression on her face. "You see you not only look a lot like Emmett, you also look a lot like Rosalie, Emmett's wife and now your mother." Edward answered her unasked question. She looked at me expectantly, and when I nodded she beamed. "So, are all the papers signed, can I keep her?" I asked, everyone laugh except for Liza who looked anxious."Emmett son, yes she is officially a Cullen, but as we read in the papers you do not poses a second nor a last name, so we put a second name of our choice and our last name, of course if you don't feel comfortable with it we can al-" Carlisle was cut off by Elizabeth squeak "I don't mind," she said fast, "what is my full name now?" she asked biting her lower lip, a trait that I picked up now was when she was anxious."Your name is Elizabeth Christine McCarthy Cullen!" Carlisle exclaimed and a proud feeling overcame me after hearing her full name. She beamed, her smile gave me a new light, when the weight of what this meant hit me, I'm a father, and I have a daughter whose mine and Rose's only. I can't believe the feeling of protectiveness that overcame me. I swear to everything that is holy, that as long as any part of my body keeps moving I will protect her.
