Bella's POV:

I had just got my Edward back. I had just returned. I had just felt at home again. And then everything had come crashing down. From home to the adoption center Rose, Alice and I stand in now, it feels like nothing could be worse then this feeling.

The feeling of loosing something you never had to start with. Loosing, a family, a dad that I have aways wished to be away from. Now that I am, I'm not happy at all.

The same thought were placed in our heads as Charlie signed us in, charming the lady at the reception desk.

She thought he was lovely. We all knew better.

I was loosing the only father I have ever had. The one that used to tuck me in at nights when I was little. A little of me- and thats a tiny bit- kind of felt a longing to that was less then two of the hundred percent. The rest was spent of the longing to not loose my sisters. To not loose Edward.

I know I can't kid myself. And neither can Alice and Rose. We are going to be spilt up. Put into strange new homes, or just stay here for the rest of our miserable lives. No chances for a future, nofriends, no family.

Rose and Alice were staring at the floor, but I could tell they don't want to be here as much as I did.

Though it was good to know, we'd never have to face another, slap, or hit, or drunken Charlie, we don't know what our futures are going to be like now. At least with Charlie, we knew we were all going to be together, be independent, believe in each other. We all knew what was coming. We could all decide. And there were a few surprises but we welcomed them.

Being signed over to the receptionist, with a warm smile, did not give me the homey touch I needed and wanted. It gave me the feeling of an unknown future, and an unfamiliar and unsafe life. Always living in fear and regret. Regret that I didn't spend more time with Edward, because of my selfish act of running away. I thought about turning around to say one last goodbye to the selfish bastard
that I had to call my father, but I soon decided that it was best that the last image of my father was of him smiling. Even if it was totally fake.

We were leaded through a small corridor, with children laughing and playing. They didn't have any comfort zone. They've all grown up like this. They wouldn't remember the good times they had with their real family. I pity and envied them. I had all my good and bad memories, and i was stuck with them for the rest of my life.

We were lead into a room with four beds. I couldn't bring myself to stare at my siblings, it was just too sad. I couldn't bare to see their destroyed faces. I just wanted to wake up from the nightmare that is my life. If this was a nightmare, I have to give my mind props for creating Edward. He's been one of the lights in my darkness, along with my sisters.

But I'm not crazy, and I'm not a false believer. So I know this is all real. It's all the reality of the life I've been given. I sadly idly by on my bed as I watched my sisters do the same.

I didn't make eye contact, and none of us spoke. I lay on my bed holding in everything I felt.

The moonlight was strong, and was peeking in through the small window at the top of the wall. I heard soft sobbing coming from my left. I knew it was Alice. I wanted to do the same. I wanted to comfort her. But I didn't know what to say. To make things better. Because i don't think any light can be shed on this darkness.

Jasper's POV: (New day & new scene!)

I woke up to the smell of pancakes, eggs, and bacon. I bet that was Bella's cooking! Then, I remembered. The girls were put up for adoption and we were going to fix it. Well, we couldn't do anything on an empty stomach, now could we? I ran to the kitchen table, to be met with Edward and Emmett stumbling in; taking a seat, forks in hand.

"Mom, we're going to the adoption center," stated Emmett syrup covering his face.

"You are, now?" Esme questioned while scrubbing her pan.

"Yeah, we were going to go now," I said putting my plate in the sink while kissing her cheek.

"Well, have fun baby. Oh, can you guys be back by 12?" she replied. "Sure thing, mom," Edwad said putting his plate up also. Emmett and Edward followed me out the kitchen and we went to get ready to visit the reason for our existance. The girls. I smiled as I thought of Alice. That little girl can be much at times, but that's what makes her Alice. And Alice being Alice, is why I love her. I sighed contently; trying to figure out an outfit that is 'Alice-Worthy'. I put on some jeans and a light grey v-neck. I grabbed a pair of vans and walked into Emmett's room.

"Dude, can you speed things up a bit?" I asked as I saw him sitting on the ground in only boxers. "Fine, fine," he said muttering something about 'Alice rubbing off on me'. I walked downstairs, and Edward was already there. Finally, Emmett decided to grace us with his apperance.

"Take some food to the girls please," Esme smiled. "Thanks, mom," I called taking the food. I saw Emmett dig through it, but he was soon aquainted by Edward's hand. "Dude, not you food," Edward said taking away the bag. "Who's car we taking?" I asked. "Edward's soccer mom car," Emmett smirked. "It is not a soccer mom car!" Edward exclaimed. I just patted him on the back, while walking to his "soccer mom" car. Edward drove to the adoption center and parked the car. We walked to the front desk asking for Alice, Rosalie, and Bella Swan.

"Oh! Please don't tell me you're trying to adopt someone," the lady with her hands crossed together. We laughed at her antics, I'm pretty sure we were to young to adopt anyways..

"Thank God," she muttered and lead us to a door. She left to give us some privacy, but not before begging us not to do anything inappropiate. Emmett just wagged his eyebrows at her, which got her worried. The girls were still sleeping; I checked my cellphone for the time. Dang, it's was only 8:23 am. Us guys went to our girlfriends in an attempt to wake them up. I sat on Alice's bed leaving a trail of kisses on her face from her forehead to her neck, leaving one chaste kiss on the lips. Then, she giggled as her eyes flew open.

"Jazzy!" she squealed evelopping me into a big hug. I sat on her bed and pulled her into my lap while wrapping my arms around her waist. I looked at the others and see their attempts. Edward was now laying down in bed with Bella, their hands together. I saw Emmett pouting on Rose's bed while she glared at him.

"Emmett, what did you do now?" Edward asked. "I tickled Rose and she exploded at me!" Emmett said using his arms to put some emphasis. "Nice one, bro," I said laughing at his expression. Well, soon Rosalie kissed his cheek and they were back to being the happy and weird couple they've always been.

I then noticed that the 4th bed was empty so I pointed at it and gave them a questioning look. "Oh, no one uses that bed," said Rosalie.

"What do you want to do today?" Bella asked still laying down. "I'm pretty sure we can't leave this jail cell," Rose sighed dramatically. "Oh, Esme made some food for you guys," Edward piped taking out the plate of food. "Mmm, finally some good food. We've only been here one night and I already hate the food," Alice remarked climbing out of my lap. I noticed she was wearing some shorts and a tank top which made her legs look really long. I licked my lips. No, Jasper! Bad thoughts as I mentally yelled at myself.

The girls sat on the ground eating their food hungrily. "Yum!" Alice said walking to the bathroom to get cleaned up. Bella and Rosalie followed, but soon they came out. "Now, back to my unanswered question. What shall we do today?" Bella asked yet again. "Okay, you guys can't leave and we have to leave at 12. So maybe just watch a movie?" Emmett proposed. "How about When in Rome?" Bella suggested pulling it out her suitcase. We all nodded in agreement, then Bella dimmed the lights. Finally, after the movie was down it was around 10:01 am. "I love the ending," gushed Bella. "A total chick flick," Emmett murmured which Rosalie smacked him for.

"I'm bored," Alice said.

"How about Have you never?" suggested Rosalie. "Yes!" Emmett screamed. "So, we'll all go around playing saying a Have you never and we hold up 10 fingers. If you have done the have you never, you put one of your fingers down. The person with the most fingers left wins," stated Rosalie. "Alright, have you never gotten wasted and done some embarassed," I said smiling. I looked around, everyone except me and Rosalie put one finger down.

"What! I can actually hold my vodka down!" Rosalie exclaimed. "Okay, have you never gotten laid," stated Alice smirking at Bella. Everyone put a finger down. "Yes, Eddie finally got some!" yelled Emmett which caused both Bella and Edward to blush. "Have you never danced around in your underwear," Edward remarked. The girls and Emmett put a figure down. We all stared at him incredously! He just shrugged innocently at us. So, this was the score: I had 9 fingers, Rosalie/Edward had 8 fingers, Alice/Bella/Emmett had 7 fingers.

"Have you never been caught making out," Bella shrugged. Emmett and Rosalie put down a finger. I laughed so hard I nearly fell off the bed, then Alice tried to help me; I took her down with me. I gave her a big kiss, but was interrupted by Bella and Rosalie going onto Alice's bed and staring at us. "Are you keeping it pg down there?" asked Emmett which made Bella and Rose laugh; which led to them falling on us. Edward tried to help Bella up, but Emmett tripped him. Then, Edwad went tumbling down, but not before he grabbed Emmett's leg. So, here we were all in a pile.

"Dear mercy, get off!" Alice screamed trying to slide her way out. Finally, everybody got off and we decided not to play anymore, but go home so Esme wouldn't get worried.

"Bye girls," I said giving them hugs and walking to Edward's soccer mom car. We made it home and saw Esme outside planting flowers in her garden. She came in with dirt on her hands.

"Me and Carlisle are going to go out for lunch. Promise me you won't do anything dangerous?" said Esme. We just nodded and went back to sulking in our rooms, since we had to leave the girls.

Esme's POV:

I went to take a shower and get dressed in a simple white and cream dress. I got into the car and went to pick up Carlisle from the hospital. I walked to the front desk and asked for Calisle. He came out looking happy and I gave him a tiny peck on the lips. I saw some nurses glare at me in envy. Well, I was lucky to have him.

"You ready, honey?" Carlisle asked me.

"Ready as I'll ever be," I smiled at him. He drove to the adoption center and I looked at the place nervously. What if Bella, Rosalie, and Alice didn't want to be adopted by us? I took deep breaths trying to calm myself. Carlisle grabbed my hand soothingly. We walked in hand and hand to the desk.

"We want to adopt Rosalie, Alice, and Bella Swan," I stated nervously.

"Okay, let's go meet the girls," said the lady at the desk. We waited in the waiting room until she brought us the girls. At first, they just looked at us. Then, they ran up and gave us hugs.

"W-what are you guys doing here?" asked Bella wiping away some tears. "We're here to adopt our 3 favorite girls," Carlisle said as he pulled them into another hug.

"Well, let's go talk adoption papers," said the lady as the girls went to wait in there rooms. The process was fairly quick, we signed some papers and release form. We got their birth certificates, medication, and all the private stuff.

We grabbed the girls and drove them home.

"Thank you," Alice said quietly. "Anything for you, honey," I said touching her hands.

"I can't wait to see the boys expression," said Carlisle smiling.

"They don't know?" squeaked Rosalie. I shook my head and watched as her smile widened. We finally arrived home and walked into the living room. I bet the boys were just sulking in their rooms. Oh, how they would never expect this.

"Boys, come down here! We have some people we want you to meet," I yelled up the stairs. They girls were standing behing me and Carlisle's backs.

"What, mom?" groaned Emmett. "Yeah?" asked Edward running his hand through his hair. Jasper just groaned.

Then, we stepped aside so that they could see the girls.
