Disclaimer: I do NOT own Twilight nor do I own Lolita. Both stories and characters belong to Stephenie Meyer and Vladimir Nabokov's respectively. But I do own the second best thing. Which is this story. Wahaha!
Full Summary: Even as kids, Edward Cullen has always been a little over-protective of his sister's best-friend, Bella Swan. But what happens when Edward comes back from college to find his innocent little angel all grown-up? And to make things even more interesting, he's now her new English teacher. Will his obsession push him too far? Possessive/Obsessive Edward. Inspired by Vladimir Nobokov's novel Lolita. Rated M for a reason.

"It was love at first sight, at last sight, at ever and ever sight. "
ESPOV:
It was a little after three on this cool September morning. Normally at this time of the day, I would be at home, sound asleep my two children, Edward and Alice, since my husband Carlisle was working the late shift but that clearly wasn't the case. But then again, I wouldn't want to be anywhere than where I was right now and that would be at the waiting lounge at Forks Memorial Hospital.
It was past eleven at night, when I got a call from my best-friend Renee telling me her water broke and being the friend that I am, I immediately woke up the kids since I couldn't leave them at home by themselves, and drove as fast as I could to pick up Renee from her house and head towards the hospital. Thankfully it's a Saturday, so I didn't have to worry about Edward going to school so all I really had to worry about now was Renee.
Her pregnancy had been a rough one. Four months ago, Renee's husband and close friend of my husband, Charlie, was one of the five policemen that died during a deadly shootout in Seattle. It broke Renee's heart and nearly killed her and her baby. She was catatonic during the first few weeks after Charlie's death. Luckily, with the support of her mother Marie and me, we were able to help her out of her state of depression. But there was never a day that I didn't see the sadness in her eyes. I don't blame her though… I knew how it felt to lose someone you love...
A couple of months after I had Alice, to my joy, I found out that I was pregnant again. I was beyond ecstatic as well as Carlisle and Edward. During the ultra-sound, we found out that it was going to be another girl, much to Edward's protest because he wanted to have a baby brother. But our happiness quickly turned into grief when we found out that the baby was a stillborn. And because of the complications I had endured during the pregnancy, the chances of me conceiving again were destroyed. The loss alone hurt me too much but that fact that I also couldn't have anymore children nearly killed me. Luckily, I realized soo enough that I needed to be strong for the sake of not only myself, but for my family as well. But like Renee, there isn't a day where I didn't think about my baby. I would've named her Isabella…
"Mom… are you ok?" I hear my son Edward ask causing me to snap out of my thoughts.
Thankfully Alice was still asleep on my lap.
"Yeah I'm fine… I'm just worried about your Aunt Renee…" I say while trying to stifle back a yawn.
"Yeah… after Uncle Charlie died she was sad…" he said.
Charlie was like a second father to Edward. Since Renee and Charlie didn't have a kid of their own back then, they'd borrow Edward from time to time when I was too busy taking care of Alice or when I was at the office and while Carlisle was at the hospital.
"Well this baby will be good for her. Having you and Alice brought even more joy to my life." I smiled before leaning towards Edward to give a kiss on the forehead which he accepted.
Thankfully. He was eight and usually at his age, they believed in "cooties".
Boys…
I picked up an old issue of Elle magazine and started reading through the pages in hopes of killing time. Not long after, in the corner of my eye, I see my husband.
"How is she?" I asked standing up while holding Alice who was now awake.
"She's fine. Would you like to see her?" he asks before reaching out to take Alice.
"Of course." I said before handing him Alice and heading out of the waiting lounge and into the hallway, with Edward hand-in-hand.
As soon as we reach Renee's room I see her sitting up on the bed looking sweaty and tired as hell. For the first time in the longest time, she was actually smiling. Not those fake smiles she's been giving people but a real genuine smile. And I can see why. Because in her arms was a bundle of joy which caused even me to squeal.
"Hi!" I hastily said before rushing to Renee's side.
"Hey…" she said with as much enthusiasm as she could even though she was tired as hell.
"So is it a girl or a boy?" I asked.
"It's a girl. Would you like to hold your god-daughter?" she offered.
"God-daughter?" I exclaimed. I can already feel my tears building up.
"Of course!" Renee said before handing me her daughter.
As soon as her baby was in my arms I felt even more joy and happiness. The baby was awake and was staring at me with the most adorable brown eyes ever.
Brown-eyes…
"Oh my god… she looks just like Charlie…" I say looking at Renee who I saw cry a little despite the smile that was plastered on her face.
"So what are you going to name her?" I asked.
"Well… I've thought about it and I decided I wanted to name her… Isabella." She carefully said.
I looked at Renee shocked.
Isabella.
That was the name I wanted to give my daughter...
"I knew how much you wanted to name your baby Isabella so I decided to give her that name in your honor…"
The minute those words came out of her mouth, the tears that were building up finally escaped. But they weren't tears of sadness. They were tears of joy.
"Are you sure? I thought you said you wanted to name her Marie after your mother?"
"I'm sure. And I did name her Marie. Isabella Marie Swan. Charlie would've loved the name too. I'm sure of it." She assured me.
Although my vision was blurred I can see Edward out of the corner of my eye staring at me and the baby in my arms.
"Hello Edward! Would you like to hold her?" Renee offered.
I soon see the corner of Edward's lips turn upright and simply nod.
"Say hello to Isabella Edward…" I said before handing Isabella to Edward.
Bella…I thought I heard Edward mutter under his breath.
"Hmm? What was that Edward?" I ask.
"Bella… That's what I'm going to call her." he says without taking his eyes off of the baby.
Aw! That's so adorable because I soon find me and as well as Renee, smiling at Edward. This may have just been me but I couldn't help but notice the twinkle and Edward's eyes. Sure I've seen Edward happy a million times over a lot of things, but… there was just something different about the way he looked at Isabella…
I guess this means they're going to be good friends someday… just like me and Renee…
Right?
If only Esme knew… tsk tsk tsk. So this is pretty much how this whole charade started. If you guys are wondering why I killed off Charlie from the very beginning of this story, it's because in Lolita, Dolores Haze's mother ,Charlotte, is a widower. But trust me, Renee has zero romantic interest in Edward. This is a Edward & Bella story not a Renee & Edward story.
As always, college is a drag, and renders me powerless. But I'll try to update as often as I can but no promises. I don't make promises I can't live up to. But I must say, reviewing will inspire me to update faster. Really, IT DOES. So click/tap that whore of a button down there. Wahaha! ;D
