Kk, bye.
Bella POV
I had the strangest feeling that whenever my parents took me for a drive, they weren't planning on keeping me. They pulled over on the side of the road and I whimpered. They didn't hear me.
I could hear a river nearby and the sound soothed me. To a point.
"I love you very much, Isabella. But, I can't take care of you anymore." My mom said as she tucked the blankets tighter around me and set me in a basket.
"I'm so sorry, baby girl." My father mumbled as he placed me in the river. I started to cry as they floated farther and farther away.
Come back! I thought desperately as the current tugged on me.
My mother was crying and my father put his arms around her. They slowly walked back to their car and drove away.
They didn't love me. They must not since they simply let the river have me.
Please, I thought, Anybody. God or somebody, help me!
I floated and floated as I continued downstream. The tears were apparent now as they streamed down my face.
I squeezed my eyes shut as I bobbed lazily in the river.
Edward POV
The deer was running furiously through the forest as I hunted. I could hear its every heartbeat and the blood streaming through its veins.
I quickly pounced on it and snapped its neck, not wanting the animal to suffer. Warmth radiated through every inch of my body as the blood filled my body. I immediately felt better after hunting. The carcass of the deer fell off my body as I stood up and wandered lazily along the Ellis River.
Then I heard a cry.
I didn't stop to think what I was doing, I just had to put whatever was suffering out of its misery. The trees passed in a blur as I ran along the river. Then I saw her.
The baby girl must have been at least a few months old. Her wide chocolate brown eyes were swimming in tears as she looked around in panic. She was swathed in several blankets and in a basket.
Then she spotted me and her eyes grew adoring. Her face broke into the most beautiful smile. Could a dead heart beat? Because mine just felt like it did.
I quickly raced to her where she rested on the river bank. She fit easily into my arms and she cooed up at me. I smiled down at her and she giggled.
I ran as fast as I could back to the house, constantly checking on the little girl on the way. She had closed her eyes and was sleeping dreamily. I groaned internally.
I swept into the house where all of my family was gathered in the dining room. No doubt that Alice told them about the small girl.
"It seems we have a matter to discuss," Carlisle said calmly, turning his gaze towards me.
Alice's eyes were distant. She was probably having a vision of our very near futures.
"What happened?" Rosalie asked, her eyes on the beautiful baby in my arms.
So I explained everything that happened during my hunting trip.
"Oh, my," Esme gasped, her hand over her mouth, once I had finished.
"Carlisle," Alice said her eyes still in another place.
"What is it, Alice?" He asked, becoming instantly alert.
"We have to keep her," she said, slowly coming back to the room before her.
Jasper was looking very uncomfortable as he lingered near the back of the room.
"I think we must," he concluded, smiling at all of us.
I smiled, wide. She was staying.
"But what to name her?" Rosalie pondered.
"Emmett Jr.!" Emmett boomed, laughing uncontrollably. The baby in my arms awoke with a start and then starting laughing with him.
"Emmett," warned Rosalie as she moved to hold the baby. She squirmed in my arms as she leaned towards Rose, her tiny hands grasping the blank air.
"She wants me," Rosalie said in an adoring voice as she moved closer.
The baby leaned forward as Rose moved forward and then held her. The baby cooed and smiled, dimpling.
I smiled. It was so nice seeing my little angel happy.
But, I noticed a piece of paper flutter to the ground as I passed the baby. I bent down and read the paper.
If anyone happens to find our little girl, please take care of her. Take care of our little Isabella Marie.
My breath caught. I filled with outright anger as I realized this was no mistake. Somebody left her.
Rose, who was bouncing Isabella, noticed my tension and she stiffened. "What's wrong?"
"Somebody left her. It was no mistake." I said through clenched teeth.
Rose held out her hand for the note and she quickly scanned it. "Isabella Marie," she murmured a moment later.
Isabella Marie, how perfect! Rose thought, her mental voice filled with adoration.
"Whoa, whoa," Emmett boomed holding his hands up, "What happened to Emmett Jr.?"
"Isabella Marie is what her parents named her," I muttered thrusting the note at Emmett.
The note was passed around my family as they murmured together.
"My goodness,"
"How strange.."
"Bella, definitely, for short," Alice piped up, "I mean, Isabella is so formal."
I nodded in agreement.
"Mother and Father time!" Alice squealed and we all took our place. Rose was still holding Bella and I groaned.
"Take her," sighed Rose as she gently put Bella in my arms. All fear was washed away as I felt her tiny body in my arms.
"Bella," I said in my most soothing tone, "Who is your Mommy?"
She sighed a tiny sigh and looked around the room.
She looked at Alice and Esme before looking at Rose. Her fragile face broke into a huge smile.
"Momma!" she said in a clear, bell like voice.
Rosalie looked like she would be crying if that were possible for our kind.
"Hi Bells," she whispered.
"Who is going to be your Daddy?" I asked and I was more nervous about this one. I didn't want to be the girl's father. I wanted to be more.
Again, she looked around the room and her eyes landed on Emmett.
"Daddy!" she called and Emmett grinned so wide I thought it might break his face.
"Hey lil' squirt!" he called back and Bella giggled. Rose flung her arms around Emmett and they embraced.
I'm a mom! Rose's head was filled with happiness.
Holy crap, I'm a dad. I've never seen Rose this happy before. Emmett's mind wandered at how he was going to teach her baseball and how to build a car.
"Remember Emmett," I cautioned, "Bella is a girl."
"Party pooper," Emmett muttered and I laughed.
What am I? Am I her sister, cousin.. Alice's mind was filled with questions.
How wonderful! Rosalie a mom! Esme's mental voice was brimming with happiness as she saw how happy her adopted daughter was.
Bella looked around the room at her new family.
She looked at Alice and she smiled, "Sissy!" she called and Alice just about died of happiness.
Bella frowned, as if thinking over something. "Au-au-au-au," she said trying to form a sound, "nuh-nuh-nuh, tee-tee-tee."
She then pointed at Esme. "Auntie,"
Rose held out her hands, "May I hold my daughter?"
I handed Bella to Rose and Bella squirmed with happiness. "Momma," she whispered and then fell asleep. Rose started humming to herself as she got up and bounced Bella.
"Hush little baby don't say a word. Mama loves you more than the whole world," Rose improvised as she walked around the room.
Carlisle was quiet through this entire conversation as was Jasper.
"Guess I'm the brother. Again," Jasper sighed, but he was extremely happy.
"I'll be the Uncle, as Esme is the Aunt," Carlisle said, lightly kissing his wife. Esme smiled at me.
"But where does this leave you?" she asked me.
Rose walked back into the room and I saw that Bella was awake. Bella looked severely frustrated.
She was pointing at me, and squirmed in Rose's arms.
"You want Edward?" she asked Bella and Bella nodded vigorously.
Bella was placed in my arms and the world felt whole again.
"Angel," she whispered to me. My heart jolted.
I was her angel?
"What did you say, Sweet-Bell?" cooed Rose.
"Angel," she said more loudly this time, pointing at me.
"Mine. My angel!" she said loudly in her bell voice.
"I know," I murmured and started rocking her back and forth. Her eyelids drooped and murmured "My angel," again before falling asleep.
Awwww, this is soooo sweet.
Updates, tomorrow!
