Bella's mouth dropped open. Adoption!? The middle of the night? The only thought ringing through her head was where should they go? Where was Ian? How soon could they go get him? The fact that their family would be doubling in size in the next year did not even cross her mind. She jumped out of bed wrapping the sheet around her small frame as she moved towards the dresser to find something to wear.

Edward sat back on the bed, completely stunned. A new baby was one thing. A new baby that was coming in nine months. But a new baby and then a new four year old at the same time?! Was that possible? How could this happen?

"Edward. Get dressed." Bella said while pulling on a dress and throwing a Henley at Edward.

Edward readjusted his eyes to the light she had just turned on in the room and watched as Bella scampered around blowing out candles and throwing sheets back onto the bed.

Edward threw on the tee shirt and tried to find his jeans like a guilty teenager as he pulled Bella to him.

"Bells, are you sure?"

"Is that even a question Edward? We're parents now. We are parents to a living breathing child who needs us to come pick him up now. We can't waste any time. We need to go get him. Where do we go?"

Edward smiled with joy and awe of his beautiful wife who was going to be the best mother he had ever seen. He grabbed the paper by the phone and read off the address to Bella.

Bella nodded as she grabbed the car keys for Edward.

"We should call your family. We don't have anything for him to come home to and we're going to need all he help we can get."

Edward was taken aback at the proactive attitude coming from his bossy little wife and turned to grab his cell phone. As Bella took the car keys back from Edward and began heading to the car out back, he dialed his parents. Esme picked up after just one ring. After all, it was ten o'clock at night, and she was not used to getting late-night phone calls from her son or his wife.

"What's wrong, honey?"

Edward smiled to himself. Mother's intuition. Esme always knew when he was calling about something important.

"We're adopting. We just got the call."

Esme's screams could probably be heard through her entire neighborhood as she exclaimed "GRANDCHILD!" throughout the house. Carlisle could be heard picking up the other line.

"Edward, we are so excited your papers were approved. We know you will make marvelous parents. When is the baby expected to arrive? By next month? Perhaps that is a bit early for these things? By Christmas?"

Edward paused for a moment.

"Actually, dad. He's four. His name is Ian. And he's arriving tonight. We just got the call a moment ago. That's all we know, but I do know that we need help. We're on our way to go get him right now, and I know we don't have anything in our house ready for a four year old to come home."

Bella pressed down on the gas and Edward urged her to slow down as he heard the accelerator making noise.

"Of course, sweetheart. We'll be over to your house with a few things within the hour. We still have a key from our last visit. Not to worry. We'll bring your siblings!"

Edward moaned. "Don't bring too many people tonight, he's going to be trying to adjust to so much, I don't want to scare him."

"Nonsense Edward." Carlisle insisted. "This is your family and he is now part of our family and he needs to meet everyone. We can't bring all of the things he will need by ourselves. We are going to need your siblings to help us anyway."

A moment later, Edward hung up the phone. "My parents are on it."

Bella nodded biting her lip. "He can stay in the red room that's two bedrooms down from ours. Red is a four-year old boy color. He can stay there. We can fix it up in the next few weeks. We'll need to buy a lot of things and your siblings are going to be such a blessing. We're going to need everyone we can help, Eddy."

Edward reached over to take Bella's hand into his. "I know this is moving so fast, Bells. But it's going to be ok. We're going to be a family for the first time, even if it is more rushed than we could have expected. We have a great family. And they are going to be so much help."

Bella smiled a nervous smile and began to think about their apartment. It had been a graduation present from his parents incredibly wealthy parents. Six bedrooms, five baths, a full kitchen, living room, piano room, library and study, with balconies and a rooftop pool. Bella had at first glance believed it to be elegant, incredibly beautiful and lavish. Now, she could only think of the things they would need to do in order to childproof it for a four year old. They didn't know anything about this child. They didn't know his hair color, his background, his likes or dislikes or home city.

Bella pulled in front of the building with fluorescent lighting and put the car into park outside. Edward squeezed her hand and they got out of the car. Bella kept running her hands through her hair trying to make it look a little more presentable. Edward put his hands into his pockets and opened the door.

A woman from the adoption agency smiled as they walked in.

"Thanks for coming on such short notice." She said politely. "I'm Laine. Ian is getting ready to go. I'm sure he's very sleepy. Do you have a carseat? You know, you have to have a carseat before you cant take him home."

Bella looked at Edward frantically.

Edward spoke "Where's the nearest place I can get one?"

Laine laughed. "We have a few extra here you can take with you. It's not a big deal."

Bella sat down at Laine's desk. "We don't know anything about Ian. We know nothing. All we know is that he is a US citizen. Can you tell us anything?"

Laine smiled. Bella was so nervous and it reminded her of the way she had felt when she first adopted. "Ian is a splendid little boy. He is quite shy, but he is sharp-witted, and bright and adorable. He'll melt your heart. He's going to be nervous as well—this is going to be the first time he will have been in a stable environment, his first time having a family. I'm not sure he really believes it is real. "

Edward came over to Bella and they stood up as they heard the doors opening. A small boy with tiny blue jeans and a little blue button down walked through the door holding the hand of a social worker.

"Sign these papers, and he's yours." Laine encouraged.

Bella reached down to sign the sheet and then gazed into the big blue eyes and dark brown hair of her new—son.

"Are you my mommy and daddy?" the little voice asked.

Bella's eyes filled with tears and she reached down to hug the little boy.

"Yes. Yes we are." Said Edward as he bent down to join the group hug.
