Alice had ran up to me giggling and dancing around. I looked at her vaguely amused. I wasn't sure what she was up too but she was definitely up to something. We both needed to go to the mall. I needed to get a few more Christmas presents and Alice just needed to get out before she started bouncing off of the walls.

She stared at me expectantly as if I was supposed to just know why she was so excited and reciprocate the emotion. "Do you want something?" I asked as I looked through sweaters. Alice held up a bag from a grocery store. I looked at her confused. "Am I supposed to eat that?" and then she held up another bag two bags, one from Toys-R-Us and another from a children's clothing store. Everything fell together. "Why do we have a kid."

Alice gave Jasper the bags. Jasper seemed much less excited than Alice. "Edward found a human girl outside all cold. She is going to be staying at our house for a while. I don't know how long, no one has decided yet, but still. You are going to love her. Let's go. Now."

We both hopped into the car and started driving home. Jasper went to go hunt before he came home, just in case. Alice and I were already speeding down the road. Alice spaced out for a second and then swore and pulled out her phone. "Edward better not touch my closet." She muttered under her breath quickly typing.

And then we were home. I could smell her before I entered the house and my throat burned slightly in response. I swallowed and continued in following Alice up the stairs making sure to make noise. I didn't want to scare her.

Alice didn't bother with not making too much noise as she shouted up the stairs "I'm home!" I was already listening to Bella's heart and heard it speed up in response. We were quickly in the doorway and then we could see her.

She was an adorable small girl must only be around 3 or 4. Her cheeks were chubby and flushed. I wasn't sure if the redness was natural for her or if it was because she was so cold but it looked cute no matter what. She tried to hide behind Edward who moved so she was in front of him.

Alice was already talking a thousand miles an hour. "Hi! I have a bunch of stuff for you Bella. I know you like blue and so I made sure to get lots in blue but I also got some pink and purple just in case you suddenly changed your mind and wanted a different color. And I got 4 different kinds of hot chocolate because I wasn't sure what you would like the best and I got Marshmallow Cream and Fluff because they both seemed to be the same thing but I wasn't sure. And plain marshmallows and whipped cream a regular food but I didn't know what you want so I just got some basics. An-"

I was about to speak up as I watched Bella's eyes widen. Edward beat me too it scolding her lightly "Alice, How about we slow down a bit. Bella these are my sisters Alice and Rosalie."

I watched Bella's reaction to shrink back flipping her mahogany hair subconsciously in front of her as if it could create a shield to hide her from us. Her beautiful chocolate brown eyes kept looking from Edward to us trying to determine safety. It was obvious Edward already cared for her. I was already hoping I could make her like me too.

Alice was already thrusting bags at Edward and rattling out what needed to be done. Edward started to oblige to be stopped by Bella gripping onto him. I took a step forward to help. But Edward had it under control.

"Bella, I need to go. I promise you that Rose and Alice won't hurt you. If they do then just yell and I'll be up in here before you even can finish yelling. But I need you to be a big girl okay?" Edward had a tone of desperation in his voice.

Edward I can handle it. You can go.I thought quickly to him and he looked at me surprised. I gave a little shrug and then he nodded before rushing out. I barley heard the door open and close as my focus was already on the small girl who's eyes were starting to well up with tears as Edward left her.

I moved forward making sure my pacing was normal. "It's okay Bella. I'm Rose. Can we help you get dressed?" Bella shook her head a stubborn look crossing her face. It was too cute and I smiled a little "Really? How about I make you a deal. If we can help you get dressed you can pick out what I wear too. Does that sound like fun?"

Bella's brown eyes gazed into mine as she pondered the idea. She nodded a small smile on her face. "Yeah."

Alice then popped into the conversation. "Here Bella I got lots of dresses but I think we need something warmer yeah?" Alice pulled out a long sleeved shirt with Cinderella on it and a different one with Tinkerbell. "Which one?"

Bella's eyes widened at the tops "Princess!" She said excitedly pointing at Cinderella.

"Princesses? Do you want to be a princess?" I asked as Bella grinned and nodded. "Is Cinderella your favorite princess?" Bella thought as I pulled off her wet shirt. She shook her head. "Arms up" I said as I put on the Cinderella Top.

"I like Belle" Bella announced as Alice helped change her bottoms. Alice pulled out a pair of slippers that looked like Lions and slipped them onto Bella's feet.

Bella grinned at the slippers and kicked her feet in the air. "Lions, RAWR!" She held up her hands like claws as she said rawr. "Lion says rawr not meow like kitties."

Alice and I laughed I grabbed the brush sitting on Alice's bed and started brushing through Bella's hair. "You are so smart Bella. Good job. Do you want some hot chocolate?" I set down the brush.

Bella nodded and held up her arms as a signal she wanted to be picked up. I easily lifted her into my arms and she snuggled into my hair wrapping her little arms around my neck.

Alice mouthed at me "So cute" and then bounced downstairs to go make the Hot Chocolate since Edward had left the building.

Bella sipped her hot chocolate as Carlisle came down. She regarded him warily but didn't seem too scared as he came up next to her. I sat down beside her as Carlisle did a more thorough check of her body to make sure she wasn't hurt besides being cold. She wasn't which made me feel a lot better.

Carlisle lowered himself to her level and crouched on the ground. "I need to ask you some question Bella, is that okay?"

Bella looked at Alice and me and seemed panicked. "I want Eddie."

I looked at Alice, I wasn't willing to leave this little girl's side. Alice nodded at me "I'll go grab him."

I moved Bella so she was sitting on my lap. I could feel her release her tension as she felt my arms around her. Carlisle looked at me curiously. I spoke up to Bella "Hey Bella, its okay. I'm right here and if they start to be too much we can stop answering them. Okay?"

"Bella when your mom gets mad at you does she call you another name?" Carlisle started as I held Bella's hand.

Bella nodded. "Isabewa Marie Swan." She pouted her lips and said it like she was scolding someone. I laughed and she beamed up at me.

"Do you know how old you are Bella?" Bella had to think about this one. She paused while processing the question.

"I is 3." She held up three fingers. Bella suddenly got excited and turned towards me. "I can count to 10."

"Really?" I played excited for her. "You will have to show me after all the questions."

Bella nodded and bounced on my lap.

Carlisle smiled at us. "You are doing so good Bella. Just a few more questions. Do you know your parents names?"

"Daddy's gone to a happy place. Mommy is Mommy." Bella said as if this was an obvious question.

Carlisle nodded "Can you tell me why you were outside all cold?"

Bella scooted back into me at this question. Then her eyes widened. "My Teddy!" she seemed distraught at this and it took me a moment before I realized she meant her teddy bear.

"We can get him later okay. Its okay." I quickly told her as her eyes started watering. And then the full out waterworks started. It broke my heart as she started crying. She quickly turned into my shoulder and I rubbed her back as her tears soaked my shirt. I didn't even look at Carlisle. "I think she's had enough for now."

He nodded and gave a sympathetic face. "I have to make some calls now. Esme and the boys are going to be home soon."

I nodded and kept holding Bella murmuring soft words of affirmation into her ear. After a while of her tears not subsiding I decided to move and see if that helped comfort her. I paced the ground lightly bouncing her. I was glad for my strength because this was effortless and I knew I could hold her for as long as she needed. And I held her for about 15 minutes pacing and bouncing and telling her how everything would be okay. She fell asleep on my shoulder. I was afraid to stop the rhythm we had, afraid she would wake up.

Esme was home first. She entered the room a canvas painted with a woods scene on it. She entered the house and closed the door silently she set the canvas on the table and looked at Bella and me gently walking back and forth. She noticed Bella's tear stained face that was now fast asleep. "Is she alright?" Esme's motherly instincts were already kicking in.

I nodded and glanced down at the sleeping angel in my arms. "She's had a rough day."

Esme looked like she wanted to hold her but didn't say anything so she busied herself by looking up something to eat when she woke up. "Alice didn't get much food" she said as she looked through the bags.

I shrugged. "We don't know how long she is staying here." There was a pause as Bella made a little noise and moved. "I think I'm going hunting tonight, just in case"

Esme nodded "Want me to come with?" she said as she pulled out a pan carefully reading instructions on the side of the lasagna.

And then Emmett burst through the door saying something about his car. His loud voice echoed through the house and Esme and I both turned and shushed him. Bella stirred and I started going back to the original rhythm that got her to for to sleep in the first place whispering softly in her ear to go back to sleep.

He looked at Bella wide eyed but as he watched me get her to fall back asleep again he grinned. "You are glowing Rose."

I grinned at him, "Shut-up" he quickly kissed my lips and then matched my pacing.

"Who is she?" He spoke as quietly as he could trying not to disturb her.

"Her name is Bella. Edward found her in the woods practically freezing to death. We don't know much." I looked down at her as I spoke listening to the breathing and heartbeats slow down as she fell deeper and deeper into sleep.

"I think she likes you." Emmett said with a grin.

I grinned at him. "I think so too."

A/N: Sorry it took so long to update. I don't really even have an excuse. I technically had plenty of writing time in the past 2 years! Hopefully I will start updating more. If you guys want you can let me know what kind of fluff you want to see here, or a conflict because honestly I don't have a conflict right now.
