Baby Arizona.

Chapter One.

Enjoy.


Edward Point of View

Today Esme and Carlisle had decided to adopt this little girl we have been seeing on the television for awhile now. They were announcing that "Baby Arizona" was turning four today. When she was left on the steps of the adoption agency she was wrapped in a blanket nothing else. She had a small piece of paper pinned to the blanket it said, "Isabella" and that was all. The poor thing wasn't even wearing a diper. We were on our way to Arizona and Rose was pissed, she didn't want a human in the family, Esme and Carlisle were excited, and Alice was bouncing up and down planning shopping trips for the next fifteen years.

When we got there, Esme lead us to the adoption center she was housed in. When we walked in the lady working reception smiled at us, "Hello, are you here to adopt?" Esme nodded, "Would you like to look at the children we have?" Esme nodded and took Carlisle's hand. We filed into a room that had little kids running around on an indoor park, like the one's McDonald's have. There were boys and girls, blonds and red heads. I looked around, looking for Isabella. Everyone went in different directions I went to a corner. I was standing in the corner, my eyes closed. I heard a heartbeat, it was close I opened my eyes and looked around. I saw a little girl hiding under the bench in one of those cheese cube things. She had a book in her lap, and was staring at me. Her hair was long, and she was pale. She had big brown eyes, and light pink lips. But the thing I noticed most was that I couldn't get into her mind. I got on my knees and looked at her.

"Hey, are you Isabella?" She nodded.

"Do you want a family?" She nodded.

"How old are you Sweetie?" I looked in my eyes and took a deep breath.

"Four." She said. Her voice was light and sweet, and very tender.

"Come here?" I asked and held my arms out for her so I could pick her up. She picked up her book, and crawled over to me. She stood up and stood in front of me.

"What is your name?" She asked.

I smiled, "My name is Edward."

"I like your name." She said.

She was short, and skinny. I thought she was so beautiful. I smiled again and picked her up. I carried her over to Esme. She smiled, as Isabella blushed, and hid her face in my shoulder. "Who's this?" Esme asked reaching up and playing with one of Isabella's curls.

"This is Isabella." I said.

"She talks to you?" The lady that brought us here asked.

"Yea, we had a whole conversation."

"She doesn't talk to anyone, that's why she hasn't been adopted yet." Esme ran her fingers through Isabella's long curly hair.

"Hey honey, my name's Esme."

I felt Isabella move slightly, and saw through Esme's eyes that Isabella peaked through her hair at her. "I like to be called Bella." She whispered and hid her face again.

The lady gasped as Bella spoke.

"Hey Bella," I said, "Do you want Esme to hold you?"

She shook her head. Esme smiled and laughed, "Do you like Edward?" Bella nodded against my shoulder. Carlisle came over and wrapped his arm around Esme's waist.

"I like her, do you want to adopt her honey?" He asked Esme. She reached out and stroked her hair. She nodded.

"What do you want her name to be, all we have on file is Isabella as her first name." The adoption agent said when we walked into her office.

"Excuse me, but may I take Bella to her room to get her things?" She nodded and gave me directions to her room.

I went to the room where Bella as lived for the past four years. Her room was small and had a bed that was inched off the floor. There was a pale pink blanket on top of the thin mattress, and a little stuffed pig. She reached up and grabbed the pig, then she walked over to me and gave it to me. "What's it's name?"

She smiled as she walked over to a small dresser and started pulling the things out of the bottom two drawers, the top two were empty. "I named him Billy Goat."

"That's a cute name." I said with a smile. I pulled the suitcase out from under the bed. I folded the clothes that were in her dresser and put them in the suitcase. She paused in the closet.

I walked over and saw that teh closet was empty, except for one box. "That's my adoption outfit." Bella said softly.

"You want to put it on?"

"Will you help me?" I nodded and picked up the box. Her adoption outfit was simple, but really pretty. A shiny light blue cami was what she had for a top, and a tiered mini-skirt for her bottoms. "They get me a new on every year after they announce that I'm still here." She said, it was really heartbreaking.

"How come I'm the only one you talk to?"

"I don't know, you're just special I guess." She had get speech for a four year old.

"Special isn't the word I would pick to explain myself." She just looked at me and battled with her shirt trying to get her hands free. I helped pull her arms free, then pulled it off over her head. I slipped her hand through her cami, and she pulled her hair out of the collar. She folded her shirt up and handed it to me. I placed it on top of her other clothes, as she took her pants off and slid her skirt on quickly. A blush was dancing on her cheeks. I sat her jeans next to her shirt, and put on her shoes that went with her outfit.

"I like these shoes." I said and waved one at me, they were off white ballet flats with a cloth rose on the toes.

I smiled, "They are really pretty, your new sister Rose will like them." She smiled and blushed again. I closed the suitcase and held her hand as we walked to the office once more. Carlisle and Esme were just finishing signing the papers, and shook hands with the adoption agent.

"We live in Alaska, so it'll be a long ride honey." Esme said to Bella. She nodded and his her face in the side of my leg. I smiled and picked her up, walking her to my car. Emmett was riding with me, Esme, Carlisle, and Jasper in Carlisle's car, and Alice would ride with Rose in Rose's BMW.

Alice and Rose were stopping by a store somewhere and were going to buy lots of clothes for Bella to wear. Esme had already gotten things for her room and had decorated the whole room.

Once we got into the area's that were cooler Carlisle decided we should change Bella into warmer clothes. Alice and Rose took her into the bathroom of a reststop and helped her change this time.

Bella came out was a pair of blue jeans on, a red checkered shirt that was belted and had ruffles on it. To keep her warm she wore a white fleece sweater, and had a red strawberry bracelet. Alice decided that Bella was going to wear black ballet flats with little black bows at the toes, but Bella decided to kick them off in the car once we got started again.

Bella was asleep when we finally got to our home, I pulled her out of the car gingerly, and walked her up to her room. I tucked her in, after I put her in pink Tinkerbell pajamas.

I went downstairs where everyone was talking.

Alice liked her.

Rose thought she was cute.

Emmett couldn't wait to corrupt her.

Esme was just happy to have a kid in the house.

Carlisle was beaming, but had a worry lines on his forehead.

"I have never felt a four year old feel that way. She's so depressed." Jasper said.

"She's really smart, she's already reading." I said.

"She is well advanced for her age, I'll ask her tomorrow if she wants to start school. Esme you want to homeschool her?" Carlisle asked.

"Yes, for now. Maybe later she can go to regular school."

Carlisle nodded, and turned to Jasper. "You can talk to her, and ask her how she feels?"

"I can try but she hasn't talked to anyone but Edward." Carlisle nodded.

"Write down a list of questions, and Edward will ask, won't you?" I nodded. "Okay, well I can see Alice wants to get some shopping done so you guys go have fun." I started upstairs, I went to Bella's room to check up on her.

"Edward?" She whispered when I opened the door.

"Yes."

"Can I sleep with you?"

I sighed, "Yep, come on, I'll show you my room." She smiled and jumped down from her bed, bringing Billy Goat with her.
