Chapter One

Bella Age: Five Months

Year: 1995

"Are you sure?"

Rosalie couldn't help but ask again as she cradled Isabella. She felt like this was a gift that she had been wanting but told herself she would never receive. Emmett was in the corner almost bouncing out of his seat but was trying to stay calm for his wife in case Esme took back her words.

"Carlisle and I would love nothing more than to take Isabella as our own, however, we talked about it and we know how much you and Emmett love her already and we think you would be better for Isabella. You love her unconditionally already." Esme went over to kiss Isabella's forehead and gave Rosalie a long look then smiled.

Emmett took that time to come up behind his wife and the woman who has been a mother to him for the last century or so and couldn't help but let the goofy grin spread across his face. He knew how much this meant to his wife and never realized how much he wanted this too. Emmett picked Rosalie off her feet and hugged her tightly.

Emmett and Rosalie have an interesting relationship.

On the outside they look like the perfect pair. He was tall and adorably handsome. He used to have dark, curly hair but in the recent years cut it so there was a slight curl to it. Rosalie was almost as tall as her counterpart. She has always been a busty woman, almost like the pinup girls that were decades after her time. She is gorgeous beyond words and her long, untouched blonde hair ran down over her shoulders and sat just above her hips.

On the outside they may seem like a match made in heaven, they haven't always been a perfect pair. They fought constantly about inconsequential topics that would always end with them passionately making up. They seemed almost toxic, but no one ever saw how they were together by themselves. Emmett doted on Rosalie and wanted nothing but the world for her and the same could be said for Rosalie. Emmett was her complete opposite, but she wouldn't change him or them for anything.

When Isabella was delivered to the Cullen's home almost a week ago, Carlisle and Esme had been discussing what would be best for the infant. They considered taking her to the local church in the small town of Gambell, Alaska but they feared that would be the first place Charlie would look for his daughter, if he even wanted her. Esme was not willing to take that risk.

The next option was another clan of vampires not too far that had connections in Canada, but Carlisle and the leader of that clan had a falling out a few years back that left a bitter taste in his mouth. Esme then thought about her and Carlisle taking in another lost soul and raising her as their daughter, but it didn't feel right when they saw how Rosalie and Emmett acted toward the baby.

Rosalie hadn't left the baby's side, she felt she needed to be there. She and Isabella had an instant connection, when Isabella was crying Rosalie was the first person there, and on multiple occasions Emmett was always there. Emmett was never soft around kids, but this baby had his heart wrapped around her tiny finger.

Isabella seemed to really solidify Rosalie and Emmett's relationship in a way. Babies are never an answer to a problem, but they can bring two people even closer than they were before.

Rosalie was sobbing as she held the sweet baby in her arms after Esme told them Isabella was theirs. She was never given the chance to conceive children when she was human and Emmett was too young to begin to think about kids when he was human. It was odd since they were born the same year, Rosalie was eighteen when she was turned and Emmett twenty, and they both wanted very different things in life. Somehow they had gotten to this point that Isabella had them all but bowing for her. They loved her almost more than they loved each other.

Esme knew Rosalie and Emmett were the perfect choice. She kissed Isabella on the forehead once again and hugged Rosalie. Emmett wrapped Esme in his arms next and whispered a thank you. Esme left the new family so they could spend more time together.

She smells delicious. Mouthwatering and easily accessible.

Edward shook his head in disgust and continued running in the forest. Everyone was so in love with the new baby.

Everyone except for Edward.

He could see how much his "family" loved the human but all he could think about was her blood pumping through her veins, and that made him feel sick. Edward was the first to join the Cullens, he hadn't felt this bloodlust in a very long time. He was always in control, always knew which moves to make and when and he knew that human blood could mean very bad things for him.

Carlisle taught him as soon as he woke as a newborn vampire that killing humans was not necessary. They practiced feeding from the rapist and murders, but not killing them. They fed from those animals just to the point they passed out, but would be fine after a few days. Vampire bites, to humans, were orgasmic. Almost. Right before the victim would reach what they thought was climax, Edward would stop. The human would be left then miserable and Edward would compel them to come clean to the police.

Vampires were able to compel their victims whenever and however they saw fit. Edward tried to make his damnation worth something, so he would feed on the corrupted and send them to their own damnation. This has been his way for decades, and was flawless. Except this one time with a young girl, and that will haunt him for the rest of his existence.

Edward became so lost in thought he didn't realize that sun had come out from behind the clouds and the rays hit his cold, translucent skin instantly weakening him and causing him to come to a halt. He looked for some shade to wait out the sun, and sat underneath tree. The sun didn't make his skin sparkle or shimmer, it did, however, cause him to lose his strength and he became extremely hungry. He hit his head on the trunk of the tree.

A scent fluttered around Edward, like a melody when he was playing his piano. He knew instantly that it was human. He knew instantly he shouldn't follow. But he didn't care in this moment.

Everything that Edward had just been thinking about, and with that human in his house… he needed to eat and he had wandered too close to the hiking trail… too close for his liking. Now, though, it didn't matter.

His hatred for that baby ran hot in his veins as a human girl walked up the trail, all alone.

How convenient.

Edward emerged from the shadows and waited for the girl to look at him.

After this I need to get started on that reading assignment. Then I need to call Becca and then I- oh!

The girl, which now Edward could tell was very much a woman, was looking right into Edward's black eyes. Her thoughts were going rampant as Edward easily watched them shift from different visions of the two them do anything thing from talking to getting married. He had to fight back his scoff.

"Are you lost? Do you need help? My name is Bailey, are you from around here?" The woman asked.

Edward just shook his head and took three large steps toward her. She was about to scream out and run but Edward was faster than that and sunk his teeth deep in her throat.

Her scream turned into a moan as she almost sunk into his arms. Edward somehow got the woman pressed roughly against a tree and took deep, long gulps of her blood. He felt her hips buck out towards his, he knew her body was trying to figure out how to get the most satisfying release but he was going to give it to her.

Her hips kept trying to reach for Edward and she was moaning loudly into his ear all while slightly pulling at his hair.

Then suddenly she stopped moving and started to actually try to pull Edward away from the pain she was now feeling.

The bite from a vampire felt orgasmic. But right before the victim would lose consciousness from blood loss, they would feel excruciating pain. Edward pulled back from the girl right before she fell, and gently whispered, "Go home. You were hiking and felt really lightheaded so you went home. Take two aspirin and take a long nap."

The girl instantly stood up straight and started walking in the opposite direction that she came from. Edward just ran a hand through his hair, and walked into the woods.

"Do you think we are doing the right thing? Can we really take care of a baby?" Rosalie was rocking a sleeping Isabella in the rocking chair in the library.

Emmett had pulled up a chair to sit directly in front of his family and smiled softly at his wife. Before Isabella walked into their life, they were naïve and just going from day to day. They would have amazing sex every chance they got and they would fight to make the sex better. But Emmett still loved his Rosalie way more than anyone could ever imagine.

He would buy her the moon, he would cut out his own heart before ever letting her get hurt by anyone ever again. Rosalie felt the same for her husband. They could be very sweet towards one another, but in this case they seemed like their actual human ages. They were young when they were changed and never really grew up.

"I think you are going to be great mother. We will have to make sure to be what is best for Isabella, but we need to grow up, Rose. No more fighting, no more egging each other on for foreplay. We are better than that, I love you too much to keep up with this immature game we seem to keep playing." Emmett said softly.

Rosalie stared at her husband, just taking in his face and his body language, "I don't say it often enough, and I am sorry for that, but I love you much Emmett Cullen. I didn't think I deserved you when I first saw you, I just knew I wanted you. But I love you so much and I never knew I could feel this way..." She paused for a beat, "But I felt like there was something missing in our lives, in our relationship… it wasn't until Isabella showed up, almost like a prayer being answered, did I realize that she was what was missing.

"Not a baby or a thing but Isabella. She as a person, no matter how small or young she is, she was missing from our lives. I just hope I can be what she needs, I hope we can be what she needs."

Emmett got up and kissed Isabella's forehead and kissed his wife's lips.

"We are going to be perfect, she is going to be perfect. I love you."

So, yeah this story is a lot different and a lot darker but I love the direction it is going. This was a short chapter, I know, but they only get longer as we go so bear with me for a little bit :)

Thank you so much for all the feedback, I really appreciate it! I means so much that even just one person wants to read what I write :)

And I'm not above this, but let me know what you thought about this chapter? Did you like that Rosalie and Emmett are going to have custody of Bella? Do you like the darker Edward? (P.S. I love darker Edwards :) ) If you found any mistakes, which I'm sure there were, let me know so I can keep an eye out for it in the next chapter :)

Anyway, thank you so much! See you next week! :)
