Chapter Two: Meet Cute

Yaay! Edward and Bella meeting for the first time, how will it go?

Author Notes: Hi. Just wanted to say a few words, again :)
Uhm, it's can be really hard to write a story, and sometimes it just comes so easily. What my point is, when writers write a story, especcially writers here on fanfic they really like getting reviews!
It's like getting a reward, makes us happy. So come on and spend 5 minutes of your time to review this story, it means so much to me.
Now that that's out, you can continue reading! :D

Carlisle POV

We were on our way to pick up Bella from the airport. Me and Esme had decided that we wouldn't tell the kids much about her other than she had lost both her parents and now she had no one. I knew Edward wasn't happy about us adopting another kid.

After Eric .. well .. Edward was afraid. Eric's parents had been killed two months before we took him under our wing. He had seen it with his own two eyes. His mom was stabbed in the chest with a knife eleven times and his father shot in the head and his body sliced into pieces. All the time, Eric sat in a closet crying quietly and watching his parents die. I don't know why the murderer didn't find him but Eric told me once he wished the murderer would have found him so he would be with his parents. He was fifteen then. That was two years ago. Why he wasn't with us now was a tragedy. One day in the winter break, Eric wakes up and walks into Alice's room. She was painting her toenails. She looks up at Eric and what she sees in his eyes terrifies her. It was like his eyes were on fire, she described later. They gleamed and he looked at her angrily.

„Y-you, you shouldn't have lived!" he screamed.

Then he attacked her his hands grabbing her throat. He slammed her on the floor, chocking her. Just when Alice thought she would die, just when she couldn't bear not breathing, Edward ran into the room. He ripped Eric off Alice and punched him in the stomach. Eric was furious now and started kicking and punching Edward every where he could hit him. Alice was screaming. Me and Esme weren't home so we didn't know our children were in a horrible danger. But luckily Emmett was home. He screamed as he ran at Eric, his head in front of him. Eric fell down and Emmett knocked him out in one beat.

Eric was sent to a psychiatric hospital. The doctors there told us he had gone insane because of what he saw. It was sad. Me and Esme visit him once a month and what we see makes us glad. He is healing, his mind is healing. The doctor said that it helped him very much that we visited and that he was always talking about how great we were and our family. He said he would come visit us when he got better. But somewhere, deep in my heart, when I heard him say that, I grew afraid. I didn't trust him, although I saw the changes. I knew that he could never meet my family again outside of this hospital. I wouldn't take the risk of Alice or someone else dying.

That day, when Alice almost died, made Edward hate orphans and children who don't have anyone. Yes, I know that's judging and each day I ask him to ease up, one day there will come another kid who doesn't have anyone. And each time Edward asks me why we need to give foster kids a home. He asks me if he and Alice, Jasper and Emmett aren't enough. I answer him simply that if we wouldn't, then who would. He should also remember that he, too, was once an orphan and we took him in. So did he hate himself too for once being an orphan? Every time I said that to Edward he would walk away and not speak a word for hours, sometimes days. But that happened rarely.

People must think me and Esme are strange for adopting so many children but I can't imagine them being alone somewhere with no parents, even the foster kind. So if the kids are willing to let us, we will give them a home. It's the least we can do when we have so much money. I just hope our kids will like Bella.

Edward POV

And here we were again. Picking up some orphan from the airport. I hated when foster kids came to our home. What if they were like Eric? Wouldn't Alice make it then? She'd been so scared afterwards. Carlisle and Esme promised they wouldn't adopt anymore. They were both scared for our family. But now they had broken that promise. They were once again adopting some kid whose parents died. It was so annoying! Why couldn't they just be happy with the kids they had? Weren't we enough for them?! I mean, did we do anything that made them want to adopt or? I know they adopted me and Jasper, but I wish that had been the end!

We didn't know much about this new kid. Her name was Isabella Swan but she preferred to be called Bella. She was seventeen like Alice. That was it. I wasn't exited to meet her. Maybe she would be like Tanya, an ungrateful little brat. Or Eric, an insane lunatic who tries to kill my little sister. Well we would see, but I would never treat her like my sister. Never, ever, ever.

We had been driving for one hour, Carlisle all the time driving, not allowing me to do a thing when he seemed tired. It was late and a school night but Esme had asked us to come with them to pick up Bella. She wanted us to meet and bond or something like that. I didn't want the smallest bit to meet her! I imagined some skinny, blonde snob walking out of that airport wearing high heels, a mini skirt and some too revealing tank top.

We parked the car near the entrance of the airport and walked inside. Esme had made a sign where Bella's name was written with big, capital letters. We waited ten minutes before the departure passengers started walking out the gate. When a tall blonde in high heels walked out I sighed and turned around. I couldn't stand this. Alice rubbed my shoulder.

„Hello Bella, dear," Esme said with a warm voice. I didn't turn around to see her.

„Um, hi," a small voice said to her. I quickly turned around. That voice, it was .. it was breathtaking.

My mouth dropped open at the view. There stood the most beautiful, dazzling, magnificent girl I have ever seen. She had dark brown curly hair and just a hint of mahogany in it. Chocolate brown eyes that held so much emotion and full light pink lips. Her skin was beautifully white and she had high cheekbones. When I turned around so quickly she was startled. She let out a little scream and jumped backwards, never looking at me. She was shaking and Esme walked up to her and put her arms around her.

„There, there honey. Let's get you home," she said and stroked her silky brown hair. Bella only nodded and when she looked up at me her eyes chocolate brown eyes were filled with so much sorrow I had to wonder what had happened. The corner of her mouth lifted a little like she was trying to smile. I could see something else than in her eyes, other than sorrow. It was like she had just received a gift when it wasn't her birthday or christmas. Kind of happieness. Even though she was .. well, she was an enchantress, she could be a danger to my family and I would never let anyone or anything harm my family.

Her lips parted when she had stared at me for a few seconds. I heard her breath hitch and had to wonder what had made that happen. I smiled at her.
„Hi, my name is Edward. I'm Carlisle's and Esme's son," I said and offered her my hand.
„Bella," she answered and took it. She shaked it lightly and then pulled her hand quickly away.

We all walked out of the airport, Esme and Carlisle holding hands, Alice walking behind them and me besides Bella. She had a lot of bags and it all seemed to be very heavy. I offered to take some of the luggage, she allowed me and thanked me, huffing when she could put it down. I left her holding one big bag with wheels underneath it and one handbag, taking the three other bags that she had brought with her and walking outside the chilly December air in Seattle. She followed behind me and we walked to the car.

„Hurry up you two! Jasper and Emmett are waiting at home!" Alice shouted. Bella grimaced slightly and walked faster to the car.

The drive home was very awkward. Bella was so shy, she only talked a little and that was when she was answering questions. Alice was really enthusiastic about getting a girl to the home. She was sometimes lonely, she didn't really have anybody to go shopping with her and gossip all night long but with Bella around, she was sure they would be good friends. Alice was always positive like that and I loved that about her. After half an hour Carlisle turned on the radio. Half an hour later we arrived to Forks and drove to our house. It was inside the forest, we liked to have privacy from people and that was one reason why people thought we were weird. When we arrived, I saw Jasper and Emmett waiting outside our house, waving. Carlisle parked the big jeep and then we were out of the car and introducing Bella to Jasper and Emmett.

Ooooh, Edward and Bella have met! Yaaay! Who enjoys that?
