Summary- Little Jacob stumbles around in places he shouldn't be.

Jacob knew he was in trouble. His daddy told him and his sisters that they were never aloud to leave the back yard and under no circumstances was he ever aloud to go near the forest never mind in the forest. Jacob continued to wander farther into the forest, he couldn't find his way out he was lost and scared. He could feel the tears on his cheek as he continued to stumble through the forest, it was darker because of all the trees were hiding the light. Jacob's tears were making it harder for him to see where he was going, he tripped over a large root that was sticking up from the ground. He cried out shock at the shooting pain going through his wrist. He had scratches on his knees that were starting to bleed and his hands were all scratched up. Jacob's sobs were getting louder, he was lost, scared, in the dark and he was hurt.

He let out a choked sob, half scream when he felt a ice cold hand being placed on his shoulder. He looked up to a beautiful lady standing in front of him. She crouched down to his level and gently wiped his tear stained cheeks.

"What's your name?" her musical voice made Jacob shiver.

"J-Jacob." The beautiful lady smiled at him.

" My name is Rosalie." He stared at her like she spoke a impossible name. "But you can call me Rose."

"Are you okay, Jacob?" Rosalie could see some sweat forming on the young boy's face and could smell the blood miles away. The young boy sniffled and shook his head negatively. Rosalie felt her heart ache for the hurt little boy.

"How old are you Jacob?" She questioned

"This many." he held up two fingers to show her, she nodded.

"Okay. Jake can I pick you and take you to my house where my dad can fix you and make you feel better?" Jacob looked at her warily before nodding his head once. Before he could even register it Rosalie had swept him up in her arms. He sat on her hip and wrapped his legs around her waist and his arm around her neck. His injured arm was tucked up against his chest, inside his fist was some of Rosalie's hair clench in his grip.

"Okay Jacob you need to trust me and close you eyes okay." he only answered by closing his eyes. Rosalie stared down at Jacob for a second before she started running. She reached the house she lived at with Carlisle, Esme and Edward. She entered the house and before she could even react Esme left the house. She entered the living room and saw Carlisle and Edward standing there.

"Esme okay?" Rosalie asked as she shifted Jacob in her arms a little.

"Yes she just had trouble with the blood." Carlisle replied stepping toward Rosalie and Jacob. "May I see him? Edward has already filled me in." Rosalie looked over at Edward before walking over to the piano and placing Jacob gently on top of it. He opened his eyes and looked a little scared.

"It's okays." She told him in a soothing voice. "Jacob this is my father Carlisle and my brother Edward. Carlisle wants to check you arm and he's going to clean up you scratches okay?" Jacob looked at Carlisle for a second before shifting his gaze to Edward and finally back to Rosalie. He nodded his head quickly once.

"Carlisle." Rosalie back away from Jacob and let Carlisle take Jacob upstairs to his mis-shaped office. Rosalie watched them go before turning back to Edward who was sitting at his piano now. His fingers gently drifted over the keys.

"You okay?" he asked Rosalie walked over to the piano and sat on the bench next to him.

"I'm fine. Whose is he?"

"Billy Black. His name is Jacob Black. He wandered from the house when his sister where supposed to watching him. He wandered into the forest on accident and then tripped and hurt himself. His mother died only earlier this year. I image he is too young to quiet know what that means."

"What is he thinking?"

"He's thinking about how he mother would clean his scratches. Carlisle checking his wrist now." The two were silent as Edward played the piano the song Rosalie recognized as the one Esme claimed as her favourite. She was silently worried for Jacob, he was so young and delicate.

She got up and moved to the couch and sat just listening to the song that Edward was playing. She almost jumped in shock when she felt Carlisle place Jacob into her lap. She gently rubbed his arm and gently felt the white bandage wrapped around his left wrist. She looked toward Carlisle who was seated on another one of the couches. She looked back down at Jacob who had fallen asleep thanks to the soothing sound of Edward piano.

"He is fine just a little sprain. His cuts were not that deep so I just cleaned the blood and put bandages on them." Carlisle explained, Rosalie nodded her head. "Rosalie you can not keep him."

"I know. I honestly do know that I just wanted to save him. He looked so broken just sitting there."

"Esme coming." Edward told the others. Seconds later Carlisle stood up to greet Esme as she came through the door and into the house. Rosalie looked down and Jacob and gently ran her hand down the side of his face. Esme wandered over to the couch and sat down beside Rosalie watching Jacob's sleeping face. She gently ran her hand down the side of his face before pulling her hand back.

"Hes adoarble."

"His name is Jacob." Rosalie told her mother. Esme had been there when Edward told everything to them.

"Rosalie I called the Billy and told him you had found Jacob. He had almost had a heart attack when his daughters told him Jacob had ran away. He would like to have his son back." Rosalie nodded sadly at Carlisle words.

"I know. I just don't want to wake him." Rosalie finally caved and shook Jacob's shoulder gently

"Jackey you have to wake up. You need to go back to you daddy. Jacob." Jacob eyes fluttered open

"Daddy?" Rosalie gave a small laugh

"Yeah, lets go give you back to your daddy he misses you." Rosalie stood up with Jacob in her arms, who wrapped his arm around her neck and tucked his hurt arm to his chest and curled her hair in his fist. He rest his head against her shoulder and closed his eyes.

"Ready?" Carlisle asked his three family members. The other nodded and they went to the boarder line of La Push and Forks. When they arrived they saw the tribal elders and Billy Black's daughters waiting. Billy was pacing back and forth. The twin girls looked like they were in huge trouble. The Cullens approached the boarder and everyone turned to them.

"Jacob." Billy sighed in relief. Carlisle and Esme approached the line to explain what had happened, Rosalie stayed back a little ways and Edward stood in the middle.

"Jacob was found by Rosalie in the forest he was on our side. Jacob had fallen over a large root and sprained his wrist and cut his knees and hands up a bit. Rosalie brought him back to our house and I cleaned up his wounds and wrapped up his wrist. We want no problems between us and we are here to give you your son back. And just for a good measure we will be leaving tomorrow." Carlisle explained, the people nodded and Billy approached the line. Carlisle turned to Rosalie. "Rosalie." he said in a warning tone. She placed a gently kiss on the top of Jacob's head before stepping forward and handing Billy his son back. Billy hugged Jacob to his chest in relief.

"He's sleeping." Rosalie told the man. His eye looked up his son to Rosalie's.

"Thank you." Rosalie smiled a small smile

"He's amazing boy. Take good care of him." Rosalie stepped backwards to her family and they were gone.
