A/N Let's just assume that every chapter up until like four or five, when Bella is older, will be Edward's point of view, so I can quit feeling the overwhelming need to type it, Lol.
Carlisle, Emmett, Esme, Jasper, Kate, Carmen, and Garrett, walk in the door just as the last of the frost melts off of Isabella's face. Her fair skin shines beautifully, like a gemstone. Esme sees the little girl, warming herself, me keeping a hand out, in case she falls, and Alice, Rosalie, and Tanya, falling crazy in love with the child.
" Edward found her nearly frozen to death in the woods and brought her back here to warm up, can we PLEASE keep her? She has nowehre else to go," Rose begs. Carlisle chuckles at the desperation in her voice. She sounds like she'll cry if she can't keep the girl in her life. Rose can't have biological children, so this is going to be as close as she gets to starting a family of her own.
Of course we'll keep her. She's just a child after all. Carlisle smiles, giving me an answer to Rose's question. I smile and pull the little girl into my arms, where she lays her small head on my shoulder. I watch the angelic girl yawn, and she falls asleep on me, again.
" The child stays with us," Carlisle whispers softly. Rose smiles, and kisses Isabella's forehead. She's now a Cullen, and she will be looked after much, much more than any other toddler. I won't let anything hurt my little girl as long as I live.
" Does she have a name?" Esme asks. I smile and look at the girl in my arms, her birth name might be Isabella, but at the same time, It sounds much better as just, Bella. It's short, cute, and much more sensible.
" It's Bella," I reply. Esme smiles, as Bella sleeps soundly on my shoulder. Her small body expands and contracts as she sleeps soundly against me.
We wait through the night, and I show them what I found in the forest, as my beauty sleeps upstairs with Rosalie by her side. Carlisle looks destroyed by the note left there by her parents. They're literally saying, adopt my baby, but I'm taking her back later on and you get no option here. We looked up the name on the letter and, they are a police officer and a writer, and they are far from financially unstable. They just didn't want a kid.
Her mother is some dumbass that got knocked up by her highschool sweetheart, and her dad is only nineteen but somehow a cop. So they're pieces of shit and they left their daughter all alone. Nice. Very mature. I'm just glad I found her instead of someone much worse, who wouldn't hesitate to hurt her. I have to protect her.
Jasper and Emmett fell in love when Bella started laughing without any good reason again, and all it took for Esme to love her was the slightest glance in her direction. Carlisle is just happy that the little girl is in a loving home. Everyone wants to see her happy and safe, thats all any of us want, but I am genuinely, and irresisably, in love with her.
Bella is just a human child, and I will not let anyone lay a single hand on her, no matter what happens. I have to protect my little singer, and I must be the older brother, friend, and lover she needs throughout her life. She is the most precious little gem on the face of the earth, and she will be protected at any cost.

Little Bella wakes up with the biggest smile on her face. Roses arms are wrapped tightly around her, and today she legally becomes a Cullen. Isabella Marie Swan Cullen, my beautiful little sister, and a beloved daughter to Carlisle and Esme. Of course when she's older she'll have the option to be turned, but when she's at least seventeen.
