Elizabeth Cullen: Through the Years

Chapter Two: Adopted

They had to wait a week. Rosalie, Emmett and the rest of the Cullen family had done everything in their power to get what they needed ready for the child, but went at a human pace because if they got it done within a couple hours they would have nothing left to do. Alice, being the ever – so stylish one (and also the bossiest) had taken over the decoration, with of course consulting with Rosalie and Esme. They had decided to paint the room pale lavender, with carpet just a shade lighter than its walls. Alice had a vision that they should paint the room this way, but wouldn't tell the girls why. Emmett, Carlisle Jasper and Edward had brought everything in when the paint had dried, putting in a bed, a couple drawers, a small kids table with a couple of chairs and two toy boxes filled to the brim with various play things and trinkets any child would enjoy. Everyone stood back to admire his or her work; Emmett wrapped an arm around the waist of his wife and looked around. Everything was in place, they just hoped whomever they chose would like it.

The Saturday came along soon enough. Emmett and Rosalie piled into her convertible and sped off towards the orphanage in Port Angeles. They got there in record time, thanks to Roses furious driving. They parked closely by the orphanage, stepped out of the car and took a look at the building. It was tall and dark, very unwelcoming to be honest.

Inside the orphanage was even worse.

The walls were a dreary grey, dark and brooding. The place looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years. Rosalie and Emmett walked up to the front desk, with the receptionist lady who seemed old and wrinkly, with her cat eyed glasses and too long fingernails. She looked up; the beads on her neck made a sickening crunching sound, filling the silence of the bleak waiting room.

"Can I help you?" she sneered.

"Yes, we have an appointment today, to see the kids, and take one home." Emmett answered. The receptionist gave a grunt, and pushed a button. Another girl came out a door. She seemed much nicer than the receptionist did; she was dressed in jeans and comfy looking sweater. The girl looked familiar to Rosalie, yet she couldn't put her finger on it. She had brown hair, and beautiful brown eyes that seemed kind.

"Emmett and Rosalie Cullen?" she asked. Emmett and Rosalie nodded. She smiled.

"Hi there! My name is Isabella Swan, but you can all me Bella. I go to school with your brother and sister, you graduated before me?" She answered Rosalie's unasked question. Rose nodded once more, now remembering.

" I volunteer here sometimes, I love kids." Bella continued. "Are you ready to see the children?" They answered with an excited 'yes' before they were led down a narrow hallway, and stopped in front of a green door that stuck out like a sore thumb in this entire grey interior. Bella opened the door and ushered the couple in. Inside the room was bright and cheery, and there were kids running everywhere. They hadn't taken notice of them until Bella whistled. They stopped what they were doing and looked at her.

"Hey guys! Come over here and introduce yourselves to Rosalie and Emmett! They're adopting today!" Bella said cheerfully. The kids whooped and hollered for joy and quickly lined up to announce who they were. There were about 20 of them, all in the range of eight to even fifteen! Once they had all introduced themselves, Rosalie and Emmett looked over to Bella, who seemed to be deep in thought and frowning.

"What's wrong?" Rosalie asked, secretly terrified that something had gone horribly wrong. Emmett paled slightly as he looked at the girl. Bella caught their expression and quickly tried to make amends.

"No! No! Nothing serious is wrong, theirs someone missing!" She chuckled a little, as Rose and Emmett let out a sigh of relief.

"Izzy!" Bella called out. A door slowly creaked open, and a small girl poked through. She giggled and ran towards the end of the line, her dark ringlets bounced up and down.

"Ah, there's our resident trouble maker." Bella smiled.

The other kids and one with brown pigtails and blue eyes pointed to the couple and greeted her warmly. When she looked up, Emmett and Rose looked at each other.

The girl was the most adorable thing you have ever seen. Slightly chubby face, her beautiful hair, chestnut, was cascading down towards her shoulder. Her skin was smooth looking and rich and appeared to be of mulatto descent. She was slim, but she looked healthy and happy. But the cutest and most alluring thing about her was her eyes. They were purple for one – not a violet or lavender colour. A shiny purple, like the amethyst gem. They held intensity and joy and a hint of mischief in them.

"My name is Elizabeth Greene, and I am five years old." She held out her hand and counted her fingers to get the right age. Emmett silently giggled. Elizabeth continued, " My birthday is February twenty-eighth and I like meeting new people." She smiled shyly, but as soon as she did, a gleam was in her eye. She turned to the nearest boy, Turner, as Rosalie would recall, and pounced on him. He was taken by surprise, but he clearly knew this would happen. As they were rolling on the floor laughing, she called out to the couple, " I also like to wrestle!" she shrieked with giggles. Emmett couldn't hold it in any longer, him, along with Rosalie and Bella, burst into laughter. As they calmed down Bella spoke to them.

"I am supposed to leave you two here for 30 minutes so you can make your decision." She said. And with a discrete wink, she stumbled out of the room, but not before tripping over a toy car, and muttering few choice words under her breath. As soon as the door closed shut, all the children ran up to the two of them, not to make appeals, but something entirely different.

"Please take Izzy!" One girl with blonde hair and green eyes pleaded.

Rosalie and Emmett were stunned. Wouldn't a child usually take the opportunity to be taken to a home instead of this dreadful place? One boy, who looked about fifteen years old, stepped in front of the crowd. Emmett was about to open his mouth to ask why when the boy cut him off.

"We love her, that's why. She's a new arrival, just last month. And although this room might seem great, it really isn't. Everyone else has been here for at least two years, we don't want this girls spirit taken away from her. All the orphanage kids have kept a lookout for her, making sure she if the first one adopted if there was ever a chance. We've taught her everything we know, and because of Colton," he paused to send a mild glare at a pudgier boy with brown hair who in turn, blushed like a tomato. "As I was saying, Colton had given her too many music magazines, so she knows a lot about music. A lot. Especially Frank Sinatra."

Rose smiled for what seemed like billionth time that day. At least her and Edward would get along. She thought.

" The biggest reason we want her away from this place is so that she can grow up with a better childhood with as little of memory of an orphanage as possible. So will you take her?" the boy looked up at them hopefully.

Just as he'd asked, Elizabeth came running out the bathroom, jumped on the boy, and started singing.

"Put a smile on our face! Make the world a better place!" She sang. Elizabeth, put her fingers at the corners of his mouth to pull it up in to a smile. He laughed and pulled him off her back so he was holding her at the front. He kissed her forehead and she giggled.

Oddly enough, Emmett tensed a little bit, muscles hardening at the sight. He was glaring at the boy. Hey! That's my little girl!

The boy, Elizabeth and Rosalie all turned to him with confused looks and when two out of three understood, Rose gave out a grin, and the boy blushed, putting Elizabeth down, ignoring her questions.

"Looks like we've got a protective father here Izzy." The boy smiled and looked down at the girl. Rosalie took a step forward and bent down to Elizabeth's short height.

"How would you like to be adopted little one?" Rose asked. She waited for something bad to happen, screaming, running away, wails of hatred, anything. But what she got was very unexpected.

Izzy ran forward and hugged her.

"Are you going to be my mom?" She asked. Rose nodded. "Wicked." She grinned, showing all of her teeth. "Me and Daddy are going to have to beat all the boys off with a stick!" Elizabeth continued. Emmett's booming laughter came into play as he lifted Elizabeth up in the air.

"We can say the same thing about you, little one." He said between laughs. When he sobered up, he looked the girl straight in the eye. She kept the contact with her own, gaze unwavering. He felt some sort of connection to this girl, he didn't know why but he just did.

"I'm going to be your dad, kiddo!" He exclaimed. She screamed in horror. He looked surprised for a moment, but when her face melted into an 'I can't believe you just fell for that' look, he laughed once more. She hugged him as well, and while buried in his legs, Rose heard a muffled " I love you daddy."

Just as the little heartfelt moment was going on, Bella came into the room.

"I can see you have already decided," Bella gave a sly smile. Rose and Emmett nodded eagerly, looking down at Elizabeth. " If you'll come with me, I have all the paperwork set out for you." She continued. " Izzy, you can get Colin to help you pack up what you have and say goodbye to everyone. I'll be back to make sure you have everything." Bella said kindly, looking at the little girl. She nodded happily and bounced off to get her things. Rosalie and Emmett followed Bella down several hallways that Alice would have a field day at berating its moody choice in colour.

They arrived at another door, which was unsurprisingly grey as well, and went into it. There was a big lady there, in a black work suit that had papers sprawled out in front of her on a large cold looking table. Her hair was tied up in a severe bun and she looked serious. They sat in the hard chairs provided.

" Are you here to adopt Elizabeth Greene?" She asked patiently. They nodded in unison. Her face was undone completely, her eyes brimming with tears.

"That is one wonderful little girl you are about to adopt, I am glad someone sees that. Her parents were killed in a car accident you know. Loving parents they were, I should know, I knew them. But she cannot remember them herself. " She gave a sad smile. The lady pushed the papers towards them.

"These are all necessary papers to get Izzy," She said, "Tedious, but when it comes to that little girl, I personally think its worth it. That girl doesn't have a middle name so one of the documents give you legal right to administer one."

After nearly 2 hours of legal work, Emmett and Rosalie were free to take her home. The two of them nearly sprinted down to the room. When they finally burst through the doors, She was sitting on a suitcase, talking to Colin and laughing. When they approached, Izzy beamed even more than it was possible. She got off of her suitcase, and hugged Colin goodbye. He squeezed her tightly, and gently pushed her in Emmett and Rosalie's direction.

"Ready to go home kiddo?" she asked. Elizabeth nodded. Emmett grabbed her suitcase and with a final goodbye to everyone, they headed out the door. When the trio managed to get to the car, Elizabeth stopped in her tracks. She gaped like a fish out of water at the car.

"That's a beamer!" Izzy cried out, "There is no way that is your car!" She asked, completely amazed.

Rosalie laughed. "I have a thing for cars, you'll see Emmett's when we get home." She said.

"What, is it like a big monster jeep or something?" Elizabeth chuckled. Emmett pouted a little.

" It is." He deadpanned. She stopped laughing. "Really? Honest to God really?" She asked, eyes widened. He nodded.

"Can I drive it? Pretty please?" She begged. He chuckled and put her in the car. He got in the car himself before he answered.

"When you're older sweetheart, when you're older." He promised. She sighed and nodded before fell back onto the seat.

"Please tell me you're not one of those slow cautious drivers! Slow driving makes me crazy!" Elizabeth exclaimed. Rosalie grinned at her in the rear view mirror and told her how everyone in the family drives fast. Izzy let out a grateful breath.

"Elizabeth Greene, welcome to the Cullen family." Rose spoke softly as she sped out of town, watching her daughter slowly nod off to sleep.
