Edward's P.O.V
I'm so happy Bella chose to stay with us! It feels like she's already made such a difference in our family. I sighed quietly as I looked down at Bella, who was asleep on my stomach. She was so cute! She was sleeping on her stomach with her head turned to the side. I liked the way her heartbeat was beating. It was a nice, calming beat, and I liked how quiet her little breaths were blowing against my lower arm. She looked like an angel. I felt like I could watch her sleep forever. I looked at the clock. It was 1 in the morning, and I was glad we still had time left together before everyone else would want to play with her. Esme thinks I should let Bella have time with everyone so that they can all get used to her. I know it's mean but, I wanna keep her all to myself! Suddenly Alice's thoughts filled my head. "Listen to her Edward," they said excitedly. I thought she was talking about Esme, but then I heard Bella mumbling something. I leaned my head down so I could be sure I was hearing her right. "Edward," she whispered with a small smile on her face. I felt a smile stretch across my face. "Edward," she said again. I then felt like I was smiling so hard, my face would crack. She's dreaming about me! Oh, I hope everyone can hear this! "She's really taken to Edward," Esme was thinking. "WHY CAN'T SHE SAY ROSE," Rosalie was thinking. "I love the little Squirt," Emmett was thinking. "I wonder if I can read to her later," Jasper was thinking. And lastly, "I wonder what Esme's doing," is what Carlisle was thinking. It was insane how Bella was making such an impact on our family in such a short amount of time. I had a feeling it would only grow as time went by, and in a good way at that. I was so wrapped in my own thoughts; I didn't hear Jasper show up at the door.
He knocked softly, knowing Bella was asleep. "Come in," I said quietly. Bella snuggled into my chest and I held onto her a little tighter. "How is she?" he asked me. I smiled at him. "She's great," I told him. Then, he got a shy look on his face. "C-can I hold her?" he asked. As much as I wanted to say no, I nodded. He smiled at me and I smiled back. "Here, come sit down. I don't want her to wake up yet," I told him. He nodded and came and sat down. I leaned forward and began to grab Bella. Her heart began to beat a little faster. I gently lifted her and placed her on Jasper's chest. She laid there for a second, and then frowned. "Even in her sleep, she knows you're not holding her," he said quietly. I only shrugged and looked at them together. Jasper began speaking to her. "Don't worry darlin' I'm here with you." Her frown eased slightly. "That's right, big bro Jasper is right here," he said quietly, stroking her hair. Her frown relaxed and she sighed. Jasper smiled, looking proud. "Even in her sleep, I can turn her frown upside down!" he thought happily. I smiled at him. I felt like talking to someone. I got up off the bed. "I'm gonna go see what everyone else is up to, ok?" I asked. He nodded at me, not looking away from Bella. I walked toward the door and just as I was about to walk out, Bella said, "Don't leave." As much as that shocked me, I still kept walking. "Amazing," Jasper breathed. I closed my room door and walked down the stairs. I saw Rosalie and chose not to speak to her. She was upset that Bella was speaking if me in her sleep and not her. Still vain, I thought. With a sigh,I decided to see what Esme was up to. I listened to her thoughts to see where she was. She was in the music room, my usual place of calm and peace. I walked to the music room with human speed. But, as I walked, I found myself still listening to Jasper talk to Bella. "That right," he was saying. "Your big brother will protect you. I'll always protect you Bella." I smiled, glad that he and Bella were bonding. Well, sort of. Since she was sleeping I wasn't sure it counted.
"Hello Edward," Esme said, looking at the piano. "Hello," I replied. Esme then turned around and smiled at me. "Will you play something for me?" she asked. I smiled. I knew that's what she wanted. But, I have been wanting to play for some time. I just didn't really have any inspiration. Well, that was before we found Bella. "Of course, but I need you to listen to something first." I told her. She nodded happily and had the calm expression of one who listens. "Well, a song had been playing in my mind since I found Bella and I just need you to hear it." I told her. I began playing what I heard in my head. Esme's eyes widened and she smiled. I hoped that meant she liked it. My hands were moving swiftly across the keys, playing Bella's song. I wasn't quite sure what to call it yet. I could feel my emotions slowly passing through me and into my hands. As my emotions began to slow into uncertainty my hands slowed as well. My fingers played the last lingering notes, not sure how the song will end. Esme put her hand on my shoulder. "That was beautiful son. And, everything will be fine. Bella belongs here with us, I feel it in my heart." she said. I loved that she always seem to know what I was feeling. A mother's intuition I suppose. I nodded my head. Then, I heard Bella yawning. I looked at the clock to see that it was 7:30 a.m. and smiled, glad that she had woken up. Esme smiled too. "Looks like our little angel is awake," she said. I nodded. "Good morning sweet pea," Jasper said softly. She didn't say anything, she just yawned. I closed the cover over piano keys and ran to my room. I stood in the doorway to see Bella in Jasper's arms, smiling. "Hello," she said with her little voice scratchy with sleep. She looked around. "Where's Edward?" she asked him. Jasper smiled at her and pointed toward the doorway where I was standing. Her little face lit up with a smile and it would've stopped my heart if it were beating.
"Hi Edward," she said happily. I waved back to her. She looked back to Jasper and put her tiny arms around his neck, hugging him. He hugged her back and smiled. "Thank you, but I think Edward wants a hug too," he said. She nodded and Jasper put her on the floor. I dropped to my knees and opened my arms to her. She giggled and ran towards me. When she was close to me, she gave a little jump and I caught her in my arms. We hugged each other until she whispered to me, "Potty please." I let her go and took her to my bathroom. She ran in and closed the door. I loved the way Bella ran to me, and the way her face lit up when she saw me. "That little girl is something special," Jasper said. I nodded in agreement. "Indeed she is." I told him. I smelled waffles in the kitchen and knew someone was making her breakfast. Bella knocked softly on the door and I opened up. She looked up at me shyly. "C-can you help me wash my hands?" she asked me. I smiled and bent down to pick her up. We went to my sink and I saw that someone, probably Alice, had put a foam soap dispenser in the bathroom. Bella leaned forward and looked for the button that would give her soap. "No sweetie," I told her. Alice had installed one of those things that give you soap once it senses your hands. "Put both hands under the bottom and wait," I said to her. She gave me a confused look and did as she was told. When the soap came out and dropped into her hand, she gasped then started laughing. I laughed with her, glad she was having fun with the soap. She made the simplest things fun. She then got a determined look on her face and began rubbing her hands together. Then she leaned forward to wash the soap off. I turned on the water, made sure it wasn't too hot or too cold. When it was just right, I let her rinse off the soap. When she was done, I dried off her hands. We walked out of the bathroom and out of my room. Jasper had left to go see Alice and tell her about his time with Bella. We were walking downstairs when Bella asked me, "Where is Esme?" I smiled. "She in the kitchen making you breakfast." I told her. "What's she making?" she asked. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath through my nose, making my nostrils flare. Bella giggled at that. I opened my eyes when I figured out what Esme was making."She's making you waffles." I told her. She got excited at that. "Waffles? I loooooove waffles!" she said, clapping her hands together. Emmett was in the kitchen, laughing at Bella's outburst. So was everyone else. The whole family was in the kitchen waiting for us. Even Carlisle! He didn't have to be at work until later. I was kind of tired of walking slow, so I put my hand on the back of Bella's head and used my speed to get us to the kitchen faster. When we walked in, everyone looked at us. I let Bella's head go and she looked around the kitchen, and blushed at everyone staring at her. "Good morning sweetheart," Carlisle said. She smiled, her little dimples showing. "Good morning Carlisle!" she replied. He smiled and reached out for her. I walked over to him and handed Bella over to him. She looked at me for a second before turning to Carlisle. She smiled at him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He smiled and hugged her and kissed her forehead. "How's my princess doing today?" he asked her. She blushed at being called princess. "I'm fine." She said happily. Then she looked into his eyes, and they love in them nearly melted my heart. "I have a question." She stated. He nodded, encouraging her to go on. "Well," she started. He looked at patiently. "I was wondering if, well, maybe I could call you daddy," she said so quietly a human wouldn't have caught it. His smile put the sun to great shame. "Of course sweetie!" he answered. "And can I call Esme mommy?" she continued. Next thing I know Bella is gone from Carlisle's arms and pressed against Esme's heart. "Of course you can darling," she answered. Esme held Bella away from her and looked into her eyes. They both smiled, their dimples coming out. I noticed how Bella looked a little like Esme. Their wavy brown hair, although Bella's was a little darker, their dimples of course, and the way they looked at each other. Then, they hugged each other and then, Esme just held her. "Are you ready for your waffles?" Esme asked. She wanted to hear Bella call her mommy. But, Bella only smiled and nodded. "I love waffles!" she exclaimed. The kitchen rang with laughter at Bella's cuteness. Esme sat the waffles in front of Bella, already cut. "Now Bella, mommy hasn't made waffles in a long time so tell me how they taste, okay?" Esme asked. She was thinking that she didn't want to mess up Bella's favorite food. Bella picked up the little pink plastic fork and poked it into a waffle. Then she dabbed it into so syrup and put it into her mouth. "Mmmmmm! This is so good! Thanks mommy!" Bella said, after she swallowed. Esme nearly went into tears at hearing Bella call her mommy. "You're welcome sweetheart!" she said after she got herself together. Bella continued to happily eat her waffles and when she was done, Emmett took her plate and put it in the dishwasher. This was out first time using it, actually. Bella took her napkin off the table and wiped her face. Then Carlisle looked at his watch. "I've got to now," he said. "Dr. Snow and I switched shifts so I could be home with everyone later!" He went around the kitchen, hugging everyone. He got to Bella and kissed her forehead. She then kissed his cheek. "Be good, okay. And listen to your mother." He told her. She nodded and he left. Just as he was walking out of the front door, Bella said "Bye bye daddy!" He turned and sped back toward the kitchen. He planted kisses all over her now pink face. She laughed, and it was beautiful sound. Then he waved to all of us and really left this time. "So, what do you wanna do today?" Rosalie asked. Bella put a finger on her chin and looked toward the sky, thinking. "Can we play dress up?" she asked. Alice then got an evil look on her face. This is for hogging her all night, Alice thought. "All of us?" she asked Bella in a sweet tone. Bella looked around and looked at all of us. Even me! Then she got an adorable puppy eyed look on her face. "Will you guys play dress up with us?" she asked, looking at us. I tried to hold up my tough face but it didn't work. Who could say no to those eyes? "Whatever you want kiddo! Just stop looking at me like that!" Emmet said, answering for all of us. She smiled and clapped while Alice and Rose got evil looks on their faces. Oh Emmett, what have you done?
