CHAPTER 1

August 1993

Jerry Russo POV

"You think they will accept her as their own?" My wife Theresa Russo asks me with tear-filled eyes as we walked up the narrow steps.

"I don't know, but this is the only way." I tell her as I watch her cry. The house is pitch black and as quiet as a ghost house. She places the child wrapped in warm blankets in front of the door.

"My Alexandra, I love you. I wish it could be different, but when they tell you the truth you will understand why we did it.".She starts to cry uncontrollably, I take her into my arms as she places the envelope on the blankets and the wand inside them.

I hug her tightly as the tears stream down our faces. The pain burning even more as we leave our only daughter and second child behind.

Esme Cullen POV

"Are all of you done?" I ask as I looked at my watch. It is almost three in the morning and we planned to be home by now. Suddenly everybody is at my side ready to go.

"All done!" Alice's cheerful voice comes from my left. I turn to look at her and smile a warm and loving smile that she returns lovingly.

"Let's go home." I take Alice's small outstretched hand and we start running home. The rest of the family follows us through the forest enjoying the cool summer breeze. Nature is at its best at the moment, the grass a little damp and the trees covered with sparkling drops of rain.

We get home and enter through the back door into the house. Everyone splits for their chosen destination in the house. I jolt as all of a sudden I can hear a baby breathing and more importantly crying. Confusion spreads though me as I try to place the sound, a cry for its mother's love is coming from... our front door?

I run to the front door in desperation just to find a bundle of blankets wrapped around a beautiful baby girl with dark brown hair lying on the porch. I am shocked, who would leave such a beautiful creation on the doorstep of complete strangers? Remembering how fragile humans are at this stage, I quickly pick her up and start to sing her to sleep.

I'm so engrossed in this beautiful baby that I don't notice the rest of the family is there until I turn around to find them all staring at me in shock. Alice comes over and takes the envelope, she starts to read to herself its contents and her eyes enlarge as she looks up from the paper.

"What is it Alice?" Everyone asks except for Edward and myself. The child stirs in my arms at the sudden noise and I shoot them all a warning glare. They look back with apologetic expressions.

"They want us to protect her from the wizard counsel, her name is Alexandra and she was born on the 14th of July. She is a wizard and..." Alice says as she looks around confused. "Wait? A wizard? No, that must be wrong..." she dismisses it and continues reading. "It says here that they leave her in our care with her wand and a letter for her explaining why they did it. She is the newest member of the Cullen clan." She says as she jumps up and down in excitement. "Can we keep her Carlisle? Please, please can we?" She begs him excitedly.

''I don't know." He thinking about it. "Maybe we should look for her parents before getting ahead of ourselves...'' He says with doubtfully. He turns to look at me as I stare at him holding the infant. I can see what effect she already had on him once his face lights up with joy. ''Okay we can keep her, but we all must help in looking after her.'' Everyone is smiling now as they come over to admire our new family member..

''So are we going to call her Alexandra or a shorter name?'' Alice asks excitedly with sparkles in her eyes like it's the 4th of July. She looks just like the energizer bunny hopping up and down.

''My Alexandra... Alex. Her name will be Alex.'' I hold her in my ice cold arms while the family heads off into the house and Alice leaves to buy diapers and milk formula. When she wakes I will give her milk, and when she needs a change I'll do it. She reminds me so much of my own infant son who died. If I could cry I would have, I have longed for a baby to call my own again. Around seven Alice comes back and takes Alex from me so I can get ready for the day.

Alice POV

Esme is in the study when I come to take my post as Alex's new sister. We decided we are going to take turns looking after her. An hour into my shift she wakes up, looking at me with big brown eyes and a smile. I give her a warm bath, dress her back into her old clothes and then Esme, Rose, and I get ready to go out shopping for Alex. Esme is getting stuff for her new room, Rose is getting the bathing stuff, and I've got wardrobe.

It's already ten and so we leave for Seattle.
