Chapter Four:
Bpov
I watched Jasper run towards my baby girl and immediantly jumped in his path. He was about to push past me, his eyes solid black, but Alice was already in between us, patting his face soothingly as Edward and Emmett held him back. He struggled. A lot.
I raced to my little angel and scooped her into my arms. "Jamie! What happened? Why aren't you with Sarah?" She just stayed in my arms, bawling her tiny little eyes out.
"She was coming to find you because her babysitter dissappeared. I don't know what attacked her. Her memory is just blank at that part." Edward's voice came from behind me. He sounded a little surprised, a little hurt, and a lot awed. "Is this your daughter?"
I paused a little before answering. "Yes. In a way. I adopted her after she was found in the woods. A note was clipped to her bassinet saying her mother was no longer living, her father wanted nothing to do with her, and that she belonged to who ever found the note. I've raised her ever since." I turned to face him, and saw a lot of tenderness in his gaze as he stared at my beloved daughter. Like a father holding his newborn for the first time and finally realizing how adorable and worth every little effort she was.
I walked over and placed my two year old in his arms. He didn't protest as she wrapped her slim, bleeding arms around his neck and clutched him like a teddy bear. I smiled as he carefully buried his face in her hair and held her close.
He looked up at me and opened his free arm. I slid into it and basked in the cool warmth of his love.
A growl interrupted my distractedness. Jasper. "Pixie, get him out of here. He hurts my daughter, I hurt him." I snapped. She nodded, pulling her husband away. He was still snarling and hissing. He sounded like a pussy cat. Vampires were so weird. I think they were related to cats, very closely. I mean, hissing, snarling, growling, and I swear I heard one of them purr before. I mean come on. Who does that?
Edward was still holding Jamie, who was now sleeping the sleep of the innocent, blissfully unaware of how close her life came to ending on this strange, bizarre night.
"Well, I suppose the rules must be ammended a little, for if anything happened to Bells, we wouldn't want to start a war when Eddie goes over-protective-vampire-freak on her, so, Edward is allowed at all times, rest of Cullen family, only allowed when something goes wrong with either Bells or Jay-Jay. We clear?" Sam said. He was obviously antsy to get home to his Emily. The Cullens nodded and scattered into the trees. Edward handed me Jamie, kissed my forehead and her's, and vanished from my sight. I phased, Jacob placed my daughter on my back and I headed home, if very much need of a nap.
