THANK YOU TO ALL MY REVIEWERS! THERE WAS 17 OF YOU! SEVENTEEN!! -squee-

Disclaimer: I do not own anything! Except my dignity! Which is deteriorating fast…

Carlisle's POV

As we had agreed earlier, Bella was waiting for me outside at seven o'clock sharp.

"For the doctor and patient confidentiality…," She started to say.

"I will not say anything you do not wish me to enclose. As far as they will know, he will be your little brother." I said.

"Thank you," She said.

She seemed relaxed, and then she tensed up again.

"No. Your family deserves to know. If Esme is going to be looking after Alexander, then I want her to know that he is mine. Not my mother's or my father's." She said.

"You are a very brave person, Isabella. I admire you for that." I said.

Her pallor cheeks became crimson, and she smiled.

"Your car is exquisite. I walked here this morning. Please, could I drive your car?" I asked.

"Of course," She said nodding.

She opened the driver door for me, and climbed in the back with Alexander.

"I will tell my family about Alexander, and then you. Then you can come up and meet them." I said.

She nodded. I started the car, and began heading for home.

Bella's POV

His house was big. I admired it from inside the car. It was well taken care of. That much I was sure. He had parked the car near the garage, and told me to wait here. Well, I couldn't just sit here. I unbuckled Alexander's carrier, and took it out of the car. I shut the car door, and leaned against it. Sooner or later, I was going to go in there. I was going to tell my story.

Carlisle's POV

Esme was waiting for me, just as she promised she would be. The rest were upstairs, talking rather intently. I kissed Esme on the cheek, and sat her down on the couch.

"So, Carlisle. What's the secret?" She asked.

"I have a new patient. She is rather young, and she has a small child." I said softly.

All talking ceased upstairs.

"Oh, a baby? How old? What's his name?" Esme asked, excitedly.

I laughed.

"Calm down, Esme. His name is Alexander. He is eleven months old, soon to be one year in two days." I said.

"She wants us to watch her child while she attends school. Do you think you could do that?" I asked.

She nodded.

"I haven't seen or held a baby in so long," She whispered.

"Let me go get her," I said, strolling out the front door.

"Can I come in now?" She asked.

I nodded, and she picked up the carrier. She followed me in, and saw Esme on the couch.

"Esme, this is Isabella Swan," I said.

Bella's POV

Their house was so beautiful on the inside! I loved the furniture décor.

"Hello Isabella," She said softly, shaking my hand.

"I prefer Bella," I said smiling.

"Is this Alexander?" She asked.

"Alexander Michael Swan. That's him." I said.

"May I…hold him?" She asked.

I nodded and set his carrier down. Without waking him, I gently lifted him out of it, and handed him to Esme.

"He's beautiful," She said softly.

"Thank you."

"Rosalie!" Esme called softly. "Come. Come see Alexander."

A very pale, very beautiful girl with blond hair came down the stairs.

"Hello. I am Rosalie Hale. Elder sister to Alice, and Edward. Younger sister to Emmett, and Jasper." She said.

"Bella Swan," I muttered.

"He is your son, correct?"

"Yes. Alexander is my son."

"Who is the father?" She asked.

I was silent.

"Rosalie. Do not pry." Carlisle murmured softly.

"Right. My apologies." She sniffed.

She played with Alexander's curls, before taking him from Esme.

"He is like you in so many ways, Miss Swan. He has your hair color. I presume he has your eye color as well?" Rosalie asked.

"Thank you, and yes he does."

I took Alexander from Rosalie, and he opened his eyes. Chocolate orbs stared at everyone.

"Rosalie? Won't the others come down?" Carlisle asked.

"Jasper…had better not. Edward is having a perturbing conversation with himself, Alice is keeping Jasper calm, and Emmett is actually having fun messing with Edward right now." She answered smoothly.

"I see," Esme muttered, her eyebrows pulling together.

"Do not fret please. I do not want them to have to come down here and meet Alexander. Besides, I must be going. First day homework to do." I said smiling.

"First, won't you please tell us about him…and yourself?" Esme asked.

Carlisle, Rosalie, and Esme smiled at me, and I sat down on the couch.

"I met Kurt when I was fourteen. Well, we were both fourteen, him being the older one by a few months. Naturally, Alexander was conceived in March when I was fifteen. It was a mistake, yes, but a good one at that. The following September was when my birthday was. It wasn't on a positive note. That much I will tell you. Renee was so happy though. She was finally going to be a grandmother, and she knew how much I had always wanted a child. Too young though, is what she always said. Alexander was born two months later. I was planning on putting him up for adoption, but when I held him for the first time and I looked in his eyes, I couldn't do it." I spoke softly.

"Why?" Rosalie asked, actively interested.

"I saw a reflection. Of Kurt and myself in him. Kurt was happy that I was going to be a mother. He was even more joyous at the fact that the child was his. He didn't care that we were young. He was going to be a father. That was all that mattered. Of course, just a few days after he found out that I was pregnant, he was killed in a car accident. A van was going to fast, and it crushed the driver door and he rammed into another car. It killed him on impact." I answered.

"Oh…I'm sorry," Rosalie whispered.

I shook my head, and held Alexander tighter.

"It's fine. Anyway, I stayed with my mom and Alexander for eleven months. I couldn't take him on a plane that young, and I couldn't go back to school knowing what people would say. So, I came here." I said shrugging.

"Well, we welcome you to Forks, Bella." A girl I presumed to be Alice said as she gracefully hopped down the stairs.

I wondered why Edward was not coming down…Was there something wrong with me or Alexander?

Edward's POV

Hearing Carlisle's secret I froze. He had no new patients…unless she just moved here..

I grinded my teeth together to keep from exploding. First, I couldn't hear her mind. Second, her blood was so potent to me. Third, she had a child! A child! Another mind! I wonder if I could read this one, however, it wouldn't matter. Children had very small attention spans.

I knew when she and the child she called Alexander entered. Both had beating hearts and I strained to hear their minds.

I actually could hear Alexander's mind! It was amazing! Bella's face popped up so many times…and then Charlie's. I saw him looking at Esme and Rosalie. She must've gone down there to see Alexander.

I watched as Alice headed out and down the stairs, so that just left me and Jasper. I looked over at him. He will need to hunt tonight. All of us will. If Carlisle has expected us to take care of a baby, then we must hunt immediately.

Bella's POV

Alexander yawned and closed his eyes. I realized that I was very tired too.

"I must be going. I have much to do. Thank you so much for agreeing to take care of him." I said

"Of course, Bella," Esme spoke.

"What time do you want him here?" I asked.

"Anytime you can bring him. Just come here before school." Carlisle said, speaking up.

I nodded.

"Of course. Thank you." I placed Alexander in his carrier, and started out the door.

Heading out to my Eclipse, I placed Alexander's carrier in and buckled it up. Looking up towards the house again, I glanced at the upper right window. Edward was staring down at me, and my eyes locked on his. None of us moved for what seemed like an eternity, and then he was gone. I shook my head, and got in my car. I turned around and went down the path that led out, and back towards my house.

I kept glancing back at Alexander, worrying every single second.

What if the house caught fire? What if something happened to Esme, and she wouldn't be able to get to Alexander? What if someone decided to break into the Cullen house with Esme and Alexander there? So many questions.

I pulled up in Charlie's driveway. It was getting dark, so I needed to get inside. I grabbed my book bag and my purse, and shut the driver's door. I opened the back down and gently picked up Alexander's carrier. Shutting that door, I walked inside to be greeted by my dad.

"Hey Bells. How did it go?" He asked me from his place on the couch.

I rolled my eyes and smiled. Of course, he wouldn't miss the game for nothing.

"Esme seems very excited at the chance to watch Alexander," I murmured, still lost in my question state.

"I see. It looks like the little guy is sleeping." Charlie said softly.

I nodded, and began to head up the stairs.

"Bella?" Charlie called.

I turned to look at him.

"Remember, school in the morning," He reminded me.

I laughed and walked up the stairs. I entered my room and immediately put Alexander in his crib carefully. He grabbed his favorite bear in his sleep, and I draped a blanket over him. I dimmed my light, and began working on the homework I had due the next day.

Something scratched against my window and I lifted the blind. It was only a tree branch. An owl hooted outside, and I practically fell off my bed. I yawned softly, and looked at the clock. It was only eight, but I was dead tired. I curled up and tried to finish my homework. Soon, I was out.

Edward's POV

Her light was still on, very dim, but I heard her even breathing. She was finally asleep. I noticed Charlie was still in the living room, so being ever so quiet, I opened her window and slipped inside. I looked over at the crib, and saw that Alexander was asleep as well.

Anger flared through me as I realized that because of this child, Bella would never choose me. I felt very strongly about her already, but this…child already had her attentions. I crept over to the crib, intent on taking care of what will keep me from Bella. Peering over the baby boy, my hands itched to break his neck. Wide brown eyes opened slowly and peered into my own. Those were his eyes…Bella's eyes. I found myself staring into them, no longer wanting to hurt the small child who was hers. I saw my face in his mind, and…I smiled.

His hand reached up and I touched it gently. He gave what I thought was a smile, and then Bella stirred in her sleep. I noticed that she didn't finish her homework. I looked at her handwriting, and mimicked it, finishing her homework for her.

"He's beautiful," I whispered to her sleeping form before escaping out into the night again.

I stood on one of the tree branches and heard Alexander begin crying. I watched as Bella got up, and picked him up from the crib. Then, I heard his lullaby.

"Sleep Alexander, close your eyes. Listen to your mommy's lullaby. Soon you shall wake with the brightest star. Another day, the best by far." She sang softly.

I smiled as I watched Alexander's eyes droop, and as he fell asleep again. I saw her place him back in the crib and look over her homework. The expression on her countenance was priceless. She seemed very surprised that her homework was done. I watched her turn out her light, and settle in for sleep.

I sat out on the branch all night watching her every time she got up to take care of Alexander. She seemed used to motherhood, and she also seemed to enjoy every minute of it.
