Chapter Two-Melanie Thomas

Bella's POV

I could see Edward typing on the computer. "Edward, no fair, how come I always get stuck with nappy duty"? I demanded. Olivia was squirming as I powdered her butt. "Because everyone knows that the woman always looks after the children", Edward called, his eyes not leaving the monitor.

I rolled my eyes. "Your potty training her", I muttered. That made him turn. He looked at me, his expression horrified. "But…I don't think I would know how", he mocked. "You're a big boy, you'll figure it out".

There was a sudden knock at the door. "Come in Alice"! Edward called. Alice bounded in. "Guess what guess what guess what"! She squealed at me. "I have no clue, what"? I sighed.

She wouldn't give in so easily. "You're going to find your sister"! Then again, maybe she would. "No, I am", Edward told us from the computer. Alice was first over there. I stood behind them, staring at the screen. There was a story on a girl called Melanie Thomas.

It read:

19 year old Melanie Thomas, actress, singer, and model has just appeared in her five hundredth magazine. Mrs Thomas, Melanie's mother, said that it was such a thrill to see their only daughter so successful.

Being an only child, Melanie was quite a spoilt little girl, but not so much that she became self-centred and stuck up like other celebrities.

There was more, but I couldn't bring myself to read it. I couldn't live with myself if I never got to meet her. There was no picture, but I had an image in my head. I could already see her brown hair, with a professional perm and blonde streaks, her sun tanned skin and glittering brown eyes.

I couldn't even imagine the kind of clothes she wore. My best bet being stilettos and a bikini probably. "Are you going to go see her"? I pushed away my thoughts. "Huh"? I asked. Edward gave me a serious look. "Are you going to go and see Melanie"? He asked. Was I?

I had no clue as to what I should do. "Do you think I should"? I asked. Both Edward and Alice nodded. "Um, I better get home", Alice said, slipping out the front door. Edward pulled me onto his lap. "It'll be fine", he said.

I felt his cold lips brush my neck softly. I turned my head and kissed his lips. "Will you take me today"? I asked. He nodded. "You'd better ring, first", he said. "Okay", I whispered.

I reached for the phone and dialled the contact number it had down the bottom of the page. "Hello"? Came a woman's voice. "Um, hello. I'm Bella….", would she recognise the name Swan? "Cullens. My name is Bella Cullens. I'm looking for Melanie, is she there"? My voice was shaking.

"She's not here right now, no, but call back later if you like", said the voice. "Okay", I said. "Thankyou, bye", I hung up. "Let's go", I whispered to Edward. I didn't even tell him what the woman had said. I needed to see my sister now. "I'm driving the Volvo", Edward grabbed his keys off the bench.

"No way, I'm driving the BMW", I told him flatly. He had bought me a shiny black BMW a few months back. "Nope", he responded, picking me up and slinging me over his back. "Edward"! I whined.

I knew he wouldn't give in, but I can try. Edward strapped me in the Volvo and grinned. "I'll just get Olivia", he said, an evil tone to his voice. "Can't Alice baby-sit her"? I pleaded. Over an hour drive in the car with Olivia was worse than her birth and the three days of transformation put together.

But before I could protest anymore he had Olivia out of the house and into the baby seat in the back. Oh my God, she was asleep. I silently thanked the heavens for having mercy. Edward didn't look quite as pleased.

He loved Olivia so much. Me, a mere human…well, not so former human, couldn't possibly comprehend how special and how important Olivia was. A human with supernatural powers and beauty.

Olivia's heart still beated. Her own blood still pulsed through her veins. She still sweated, cried, bled. And obviously she still aged. Maybe she'll stop aging after a few years, according to Carlisle, it's possible. Immortality was currently the only talent Olivia didn't have that other vampires did.

"So I was thinking, maybe we should adopt some other kids", Edward said casually. The question was so out of the blue. "What"? I asked. Edward started the car. "I was thinking that maybe we could adopt kids, like Carlisle and Esme did with me, Alice, Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper", he said.

Of all the moments to bring this kind of thing up! "No, don't worry! I was just thinking, maybe someday…it would be a possibility", he said quickly. He must have seen the look on my face. "No, no, no, it's okay, you just caught me off guard", I frowned.

"So, you'd consider it"? Edward asked. He gave me a sideways glance. "This is about Carlisle working with the sick children lately, isn't it"? I asked him gently. He nodded. I knew that Carlisle had been helping out in the children's ward recently.

I also knew that there were quite a few incurable kids there, too. I sighed heavily. "Edward, I think it's a grate idea, and if you like, after this I'll go with you to the hospital and talk to Carlisle, but right now, can we just do this"? I asked.

Edward nodded with a small smile. I truly did think it was a grate idea, but I just wanted to meet my sister first. Sister. A word I never thought I would have to use, in reference to myself anyway.

Suddenly Olivia stirred in the back seat. She yawned softly, and I groaned in the same tone. "Libby"! Edward's eyes lit up. "Daddy"! Olivia said in a happy voice. "Libby"! I said in the same voice Edward had. "Mummy", Olivia was a little less enthusiastic. I rolled my eyes. "Wake me up when we get there".
