Chapter 1.

Emmett's POV

It's been a few months since Renesmee was born and Rosalie was having a hard time being around a child so much. Don't get me wrong Rosie loves that little girl, but she was a living reminder of what we would never have. Rose wanted us to have a child more than anything and being around one that wasn't hers hurt her to no end. Last week she had decide that the best thing for us to do was spend some time away from our family; Nessie cried when we told them we were leaving. Rosalie had never spent more then a day away from our niece since her birth and I knew they would both miss each other, but Rose needed this. So now we were here in South America hunting through the jungles; we'll I was hunting Rose was walking silently through the trees. I knew what she was doing; she was losing herself in her thoughts and all I could do was watch and wait for her to come back to me. I followed behind her; close enough to keep her safe but far enough to were she could be alone. We walked like this for awhile her eyes never glancing back at me; when suddenly her head peaked up. I watched as she sniffed the air, looked back at me and took off running.

I stood there for a moment blinking trying to comprehend what had just happened. Once it registered that she was gone I found her scent and followed behind her; we ran for awhile before she stopped. I started to ask her what was going on but she held her hand up for me to stop before pointing to a small cave in the trees. We slowly made our way into the cave watching for any sign of what Rose had smelled. After a few steps a hiss sounded in the darkness; we looked around and found the small girl hiding against the cave wall. She was hybrid, with the appearance of a toddler, she couldn't have been much younger then Nessie. Her long dark blond hair was matted and her naked body was covered in mud and blood. Rosie locked eyes with me silently telling me not to move before turning to the girls hazel ones and taking a step forward; she hissed again.

"Hi little one," Rose said softly, "there's no need to be scared, we won't hurt you." she took another step and the girl flinched but did not hiss. "Your okay sweetheart." When Rose was a good distance from me the girl ran to her and Rose picked her up. "Hello sweetie my name is Rosalie and that," she pointed at me, "is Emmett. Neither of us is going to hurt." Rose smiled at the girl and then her eyes went wide. "Yes I know he's big but he won't hurt you. Emmett's a big teddy bear." she smiled.

"Rosie?" I asked causing both her and the girl to look at me.

"I don't know Em, it was like with Nessie but she didn't have to touch me." Rose told me. "She showed me her, then you, and then the both of you side by side. Your size intimidated her." Rose's eyes went wide again, a lock of horror on her face; she hugged the little girl tight. "Oh sweetie I'm so sorry you had to see that, but I promise you that wasn't your fault." I was willing to bet that she showed Rose her mother after her birth. Rosalie began to walk over to me and the girl hide herself in Rose's blond waves, Rose looked up at me.

I can't leave her here Emmett." Rose gave the grill another tight hug. "We don't know what could happen to her, she's her alone…"

"Rosie, you know I wouldn't dream about leaving her hear alone." I smiled at her and watched as the little girl peeked out at me through Rosie's hair. "Hi baby girl do you wanna come with Rose and I? Will get you all cleaned up and keep you safe." she slowly nodded and I smiled at her. I took the backpack off my back and grabbed one of my old t-shirts and carefully put it on her, laughing silently at how it swallowed the small girl.

"Call Alice and have her get us on the next plane home." Rose said, "I want Carlisle to make sure everything's okay with her." I nodded and pulled out my phone as we ran to the car.

Rosalie's POV

I was barely aware of Emmett talking to Alice as we ran to the car; my mind was on the scared little girl in my arms. Although she was no longer hissing at us she was still trembling as we ran. I wished there was something we could do to calm her fears, but after seeing her mother the way she did and being left alone in that cave; there wasn't much we could do. She seemed to understand and due to her light skin and hair color I was willing to bet her mother had been a tourist from America. The poor little girl had seen her mother die and thought it was her fault.

When we got to the car I climbed in the passenger seat with the girl in my lap watching everything. Emmett finished his phone call and climbed in the drivers seat starting the car. He glanced over at us and smiled.

"Emmett Dale McCarthy don't you dare speed." I said sternly.

"Wouldn't dream of it babe." he chuckled as we stated down the road. "Alice was glad we called, as soon as you decided to take that girl with you our futures clouded." he told me. "She got us a plane out tomorrow morning, so we should go back to the hotel right now. Carlisle said he would be waiting for us when we got there tomorrow night."

"Good, I'll have a chance to clean her up tonight then. We looked a little suspicious carrying a wild child through the airport." I laughed. "I wonder if she has a name?"

"Probably not if her mother died after birth." Emmett looked as though he was in deep thought. "Poor thing." he glanced down at her and then ran a hand through her matted hair.

"I want to keep her Emmett." I blurted out. "I can't let her go now, she's my daughter, she was meant for us."

"She's ours then." he told me. "Our sweet baby girl." When we got to the hotel I took the girl up to our room and Emmett went o get us things we would need for our ride home. The first thing I did was give her a bath, knowing she would feel better once she was clean. She didn't like it at first but soon she relaxed in the warm water. I cleaned all the mud and blood from her hair and skin until she was spotless, before taking her out of the water and wrapping her in a fuzzy white towel. She snuggled into it and smiled at how soft it was, I couldn't help but laugh. I dried her off and braided her long hair before getting one of Emmett's shirts and pulling it over her head. I sat her down on the bed and sat down beside her. She stood and began running her fingers through my hair mimicking my earlier movements; my phone buzzed moments later.

Send me a picture so I can start planning her wardrobe- Alice I rolled my eyes and snapped a picture sending it to her. She message backs moments later gushing over how cute the small girl was you.

"You need a name little one." I told her before thinking about the possibilities. "How about Nova? Do you like that?" she smiled and nodded. "Nova it is then, I'm sure daddy will like it to." I smiled to myself at the thought of Emmett being a father. She sent me and image of Emmett, asking where he was. "He'll be back soon I promise." she nodded an yawned. "Let's get you to bed Nova, you've got a busy day tomorrow." I tucked her in under the cover and laid down beside her, she curled up against and fell asleep. Emmett came back moments later climbing into bed on the other side of Nova, smiled at us.

"Nova." I said. "I want her name to be Nova."

"It's beautiful Rosie." he smiled.

"Your okay with this aren't you? With us raising someone else's child?" I asked him.

"Rosalie Lillian Hale-McCarty, I could care less if she's our biological child or not." he told me. "As long as your happy and we finally get our little family then I'm fine with it." I smiled at my loving mate.

"She asked about you." I told him. "She was wondering when you were gonna be back."

"Of course she did everyone misses me when I'm gone." he laughed. "Love you Rosie."

"Love you Emmy-bear."

The next morning I woke up my sleeping baby girl and we began to get ready for our busy day. I dressed her in a red sundress that Emmett had bought the day before and took the braid out of her hair. I brushed through it an it lay in waves down her back. I looked at her and smiled, she could pass for mine and Emmett's child and I was grateful for that. She would be our perfect little angel and we would spoil her rotten.

"We better head out our plane will leave soon." Emmett said. I nodded and held Nova as we made our way to the airport and on to the plane. My daughter hadn't left my arms since I'd found her but after a few hours on the planes she climbed into Emmett's lap and feel asleep. He looked somewhat shocked and I couldn't help but laugh.

"You apparently make a better pillow then I do." I told him.

"I am pretty damn comfortable." I glared at his cursing and he laughed at me. When the plane landed Emmett tried to give Nova back to but she wouldn't have so I got the luggage and we headed out to the parking lot where Carlisle and Edward waited for us.
