"Esme, she's a human baby, how are we supposed to take care of her?" Carlisle asked his wife looking down at the sleeping baby in her arms.

"The same way we would if she was one of our own, with love." Esme answered back not taking her eyes off of the sleeping baby.

Carlisle knew there was no since in arguing with his determined wife; the small baby was going to be a part of the Cullen family.

"What should be her name?" He asked smiling down as the baby girls eyes opened and wrapped her tiny hand around his cold finger.

"Khloe," She responded without a single thought.

"Well welcome to the family Khloe, let's go introduce you to your brothers and sisters!"

Khole's POV

Growing up as a human in an all vampire home was all I knew up until the age of 9. I didn't realize everyone didn't have at least one vampire brother or sister, while I had 5. Now I wasn't slow I knew I clearly was adopted.

Firstly, I didn't look anything like anyone of them. Their pale white skin looked even more powder white in contrast with my Ivory skin. They're inhumanly beautiful while I was just average looking. Their crisp golden eyes stared straight into my glossy green eyes. I was curvy and clumsy while they were lean and graceful.

And secondly, they were vampires and I clearly wasn't.

Sixteen years ago Esme found me abandoned by my family in the woods at 5 months old and quickly ran me home along with her husband to her children. Ever since then I've been the sixth Cullen child.

My life played before my mind over and over again sitting in creative writing wishing I could quickly write it on paper and turn it in, allowing my thoughts to flourish into a wonderful story. But I knew I could never do that, they would probably put me in a crazy home with my story of my vampire family and my shape shifter werewolf friends. Where truthfully I believed I belonged anyways, before another thought of my past flew threw my head the bell rang to end class.

Quickly I packed up my things and shot out into the hall of the school. I took in all the sights, the popular kids by the lockers calling out names to the less popular; the smart kids hovering the furthest corner hoping to avoid being in sight of the popular kids. The skate punk rock kids forming their own circle further down the hall where there was one empty corner where most of my family could be found when they attended school, but since the sun was out you didn't have a chance in hell of spotting one of them in the hallway. I didn't have a particular "group" I belonged to, I knew most everybody in school and got along with them as well, I was what the teen movie's, I'd watch late nights with Alice, called a floater. A floating turd in this place we call school.

There was also one more person in the school that knew about my life, Bella Swan; my Brother Edward's girlfriend, outside of school she was my rock my one hope of grabbing a hold of sanity in my home of the living dead.

Bella wasn't as….social as me, she was a little bit of a wallflower; last year she had a few friends but the beginning of this year she's given them all up to hang out with my brother at all times. The inner workings of my mind thought it was a little pathetic, but I told myself I'd never been in love so I wouldn't know what normal behavior was and what was unacceptable.

I quickly jogged up to her in the hall and grabbed the back of her shirt.

"Wait for me Bells, what's the hurry?" She looked back at me with her plain expression washing over her face.

"I just wanted to hurry up and get to your house," She answered like she was embarrassed. She had a problem with my social butterfly syndrome, she was afraid to have to much attention drawn to her; like at any minute she would spill the secret of my family and me along with it. Crowds were not Bella's strong suit.

"Oh, are you and Eddy doing something exciting?" I asked keeping stride with her pace even thought I could easily pass her. Growing up with the incredibly fast I learned to take larger steps.

"No, I just miss him is all."

And with that she flew off the handle as quick as her awkward body would take her she shot out of the school and into the parking lot. I easily could have caught her but I decided against it. She clearly had something on her mind.

Part of me knew what it was but I pushed that to the back of my mind and stepped out into the beating sun slipping on my sunglasses and threw my pack onto my back.

"Hey Chick!"

Instantly a smile passed my lips; I knew who it was before I could turn around.

"Embry, how did you get here so fast, did you skip school again?" I asked with a questioning brow.

"Nah, just left early," his smile over took his face making his eyes small little raisins of expression.

"You're such a slacker Em,"

Embry quickly took my backpack like he always did after school and began walking to my car with it. Embry went to school on the reservation about 15 minutes away , well you really shouldn't call it attended school, he hung out in the woods more on the weekends at the school then he went during the weeks.

Me and Embry were, complicated. I'm sure I could love him and he's sure he could love me. But we kept each other in limbo knowing what could happen.

It could end in two bad ways, One or two broken hearts.

I had met Leah to many times and heard the story of her heartbreak to do it to myself.

What would be best for all of us is if Embry would just imprint already.

Save both of us the pain later in life.

But we teetered on the fence of love together and would keep it that way for the time being.

"So are we headed to the blood café?" Em asked slipping into the passenger's side.

I simply nodded my head, slipping in a Nirvana cd, and took off out of the drive way of Fork High school and headed for home.
