Thanks Jules Ann!

Chapter 7: Carlisle's POV

After I was done putting Sophie's leg into a cast (she insisted on having a pink cast), I could tell she was getting sleepy. She was fighting it.

"You did so well today Sophie. You did better than most grown adults." I told her.

Sophie gave me a small smile.

Peter was still holding her. I can tell that he really wanted to change his ways. By the way he was holding her, and the blood. He didn't try and attack her once. This told me he wanted to try our animal diet. I would need to talk to him later.

Esme was also telling Sophie how brave she was. Sophie really did deserved those cookies and movies. I think Esme was excited to make some cookies for Sophie.

"Okay Sophie. I am going to give you some medicine that will make you sleep for a few hours. I don't want you to fight it." I told her.

I can tell she was scared.

"Don't worry sweetie. There is a small port in your IV and the needle will go in there. I promise you won't feel it." I told her.

To my surprise, Sophie reached for me. Her arms were out reaching for me. She didn't want Peter to hold her anymore. She must have realized that she can trust me and I didn't hurt her.

I quickly went over to her. I lifted her up from Peter and I went and sat on the rocking chair.

I called Edward over and I had him put the medicine in her port.

"When you wake up, you'll have those cookies waiting for you." Esme said.

Sophie nodded. Her eyes were getting heavy and then she closed them. All we can hear were the soft, even breathing.

We sat there quite for a while. Making sure she was asleep. Then Edward left to go and check on Bella. He also wanted to go and hunt.

"Do you want to go and hunt Peter? Sophie will be sleeping for at least a few hours." I told her.

"Not yet sir. I have something important I want to show you. "Peter told me.

I saw him pull something out of his pocket. It looked like a folded piece of paper. He handed it to me.

Making sure I didn't wake up Sophie, I took the letter from him.

It didn't take long to read it. It basically said that her uncle wanted us to raise her as our own and he couldn't watch her because his girlfriend is a vampire. Her uncle feared that she would no longer be safe under his care. But he would still watch over her in the distance

folding the letter back up, I looked at Peter.

"I did read it sir. I was trying to find information out about her. You know, her name and such. I shouldn't have read it, I'm sorry." Peter said.

"You are not in trouble Peter. Thank you for sharing this letter with me. I think we have three new additions to our family." I told him smiling.

Peter looked confused for a second. Then realized what I meant by "three new additions."

"Thank you for letting Charlotte and I stay with you and your family." Peter said.

"You are so very welcome. What you did today with taking care of Sophie and not attacking her, showed me you really do want to change your ways. Peter, I am so proud of you on how you handled yourself." I told him.

I am sure if Peter could, he would be blushing. I can tell our little talk meant a lot to Peter.

"What happens if Sophie asks about her uncle? What do we tell her?" Peter asked.

I was quite for a moment. Then I said "We can tell her that her uncle didn't make it on the scene. He ran off after the car crash and died by the river where one of the boys fined him. They found his body and buried him near the house." I told her.

Peter nodded his head.

We both say there in silence. Listening to Sophie's breathing.

I can hear Esme moving around downstairs making cookies for Bella and Sophie. Esme did enjoy baking. She bakes whenever she can.

"Why would her uncle just leave her on a forest like that? Why couldn't he at least bring her to your house? It could have been days until somebody found her. Sophie is to innocent to have to go through what she did." Peter growled.

"Calm down Peter. Her uncle thought he was doing what was best. He knew we didn't live far from the accident. One of us could have found her at some point. I am not sure why he did what he did. Yes, I agree he should brought her here at least and explained. But he didn't." I told Peter.

Peter put his hands on his head. I could tell he wanted to rip her uncle apart.

"You aren't going to hurt her uncle. I will tell the others the same thing. "I warned him.

"Okay." Peter sighed.

Again, we were quite for a while. Sophie stirred in her sleep. Clinging onto my shirt with her little hand. I smiled at her. This is a chance that I get to be a father. I have always wanted to be. I mean, the other kids are all grown and Bella is grown to. But Sophie, she was something different. She was special and I am not sure why we all feel attached to her. But we do.

While Sophie was sleeping, we both heard her mumble in her sleep. It almost sounded like she said "Peter."

Peter must have heard that to because he had a small smile on his face.

"Peter, you may not know it, but you are Sophie's hero. You proved that to me as well. You saved her when no one could have not been out there for days. You and Charlotte are her heroes. You three will have a special connection no one will ever have. You will be an amazing big brother and Charlotte will be an amazing big sister." I told him.

Sophie said Peter's name again, and we chuckled. Peter got up and grabbed a blanket and her stuff dog. He put the blanket over Sophie (making sure she was tucked in). Then we both sat there for the next few hours in silence.
