Chapter one – The Cullens

EsPOV

I was so bored. After finishing the new home we now had in Forks, Washington I was left without anything to do while the family were all out doing their semi-normal routines.

Ahh my family. I couldn't have asked for a better life. My first son Edward, always the most adult of the children, if you can call them that, and always so deadly serious, but he is such a kind heart and would never do anything to hurt this family. Then there is Alice, possibly the happiest person in the world now, or ever. She always has such a spirit that when you are around her, you can't help but smile, always the one bouncing off the walls. That is if her husband Jasper wasn't there to keep her grounded. Jasper was quite and it made up for Alices lack of it. He has seen so much and maybe that is the reason for him being the way he is. His 'twin' sister Rosalie on the other hand is a completely different story. She was very beautiful and she knows it so she isn't afraid to show it off and makes a lot of the humans insanely jealous, as well as having all the males stare at her with lust, which I wouldn't think she would want with her experience. Her husband Emmett, was the strongest vampire I knew, not for his actions or tactics, but for his brute strength and large size. Then there was Carlisle, my husband, my loyal, caring, selfless, gorgeous, compassionate husband. What did I ever do in my past life to deserve such a man like him? I will never know.

The children were at school, again, and Carlisle was working at the hospital here in Forks. I could of gone hunting but I wanted to wait for Carlisle so we could go together. I love the feeling of the wind in my face and the forest dancing around us. Its maybe one of the best things I like about being what I am.

Carlisle changed me after I tried to kill myself after I had lost my only child. My life devastated, I didn't want, nor did I have a reason to go back to the life I did have. Carlisle changed me and saved my life, giving me the one thing I wanted more then anything in the world. A family.

At about 2:30, I heard a terrible sound. A baby crying and it was getting closer. What was a baby doing coming towards a house in the middle of the woods? And where was its mother? Then the smell hit me, blood, and lots of it. Out of instinct I stopped breathing and headed towards the front door. Then I heard a second heart beat, a lot fainter then the mad rush of the first and becoming harder to hear, even with my enhanced scenes. As I opened the door, I saw a women, mid 40's, crawling up the drive. I ran over to her at full speed, she was dying anyway. The woman completely collapsed onto the floor and was trying to talk.

"Please…help her…I…can't any….more" she pushed the baby bundle towards me. I picked her off of the floor and held her close but also trying to help the baby's mother. She reached out for her baby and with her dying breath said,

"Don't forget me…I love you Bella…" and her heart stopped.

Bella

She started crying again, as if she knew her mother had past. I stood up and ran back to the house and placed Bella onto the sofa, she would have to make do for a while. I ran back to the woman, picked her up and ran back inside, placing her in Carlisle's office. Carlisle would clean the body up later, and take her down to the hospital morgue. I looked down at Bella, a very fitting name for a baby with her glow. Her cheek bones were small but showed the definition of her pale face. The tears still fell down her face, and it broke my heart to see. I went to the kitchen and got a damp towel to wash Bella's face with. When I went back to her and picked her up, her cries quietened to a soft sobbing noise.

"Shh, it's ok. No ones going to hurt you. You'll be ok, I promise" I lightly washed her face, clear of tears and dirt. I couldn't see any injuries, but I would have Carlisle check her out when he came home. She was so small I was afraid I would hurt her in someway, even if I didn't mean it. When I had finished, her eyes started to droop and a yawn escaped her, but she almost refused to go to sleep. She was already stubborn at such a young age

"its ok, go to sleep. Your safe" I started to bounce her in my arms back and forth, until her eyes closed and her breathing evened out. She curled into my side and stayed there, occasionally whimpering or making a small noise. I walked upstairs, still looking down on the beautiful baby in my arms, and walked into mine and Carlisle's room. I figured she would be most comfortable on the bed, wrapped up warm, rather then against a stone cold body like mine. But Bella seemed to have a different idea. I had said she was stubborn and I was right, she refused to let go of the jumper I was wearing. I sighed. I lied down on the bed and shifted Bella so she was lying next to me, but still holding on. I smiled when I looked at her face, pure innocence.

I wasn't so sure I was going to post this but I thought 'WHY NOT?' lol :)

So the next chapter will be everyone's reactions to Bella.
