Chapter 4

LPOV

I awoke to sound of an annoying beeping noise that wouldn't shut the heck up. My eyes fluttered opened to see the dull white walls of the hospital room that was basically redeemed mine in the last twelve hours. I looked around to find the source of the beeping only to discover it was a heart monitor, surely I wasn't in that bad of shape yesterday, was I? At the mention of yesterday, the events that took place started to flood my mind and I felt a pang of disbelief in the back of mind.

"whoa!" I jerked upright and looked around the room to see it empty of anyone else. Oh god, I can't believe I did that. I buried my head in hands as I kept thinking about what I did. Of all the things to do, I just had to blow my cover, didn't I? Esme's probably called social services and found out that some random story about how they never heard of me or is probably retelling my story to her friends for a good laugh on the unfortunate or something. Either way, after that, there is no way I'm getting out of this town without the officials being involved.

With that last thought in mind, I knew I had to get out of her before anything happens. I took out each tube carefully, unplugged the heart monitor, grabbed my bag and headed to the bathroom. Once I was changed, I went to the window only to see they put me on the second floor, damn, smart doctors and their precautions. Looking outside for anyway of escape I noticed that there was a fire escape right out my window, ha! Take that doctors! I swung the window open, flung my bag over my shoulder and stepped onto the fire escape. As I climbed down the fire escape, the sky was as gloomy as ever and the wind started to pick up.

I leaped from the platform and grabbed the bar just before landing on my face. Gripping the bar tighter, I swung twice then jumped down only to land on my knees which I knew was going to hurt like hell later but I couldn't dwell on that now, I had to continue. The rain decided to make it's appearance as I ran towards the woods only to stop short as I saw a dark male figure leaning against the tree.

"You weren't thinking about running away again were you?"

CPOV

"She's going to make a run for it again." Alice informed me as I was about to leave the house and head to hospital to check up on Lily.

"Well she does have some severe trust issues from what I gathered yesterday," Edward said, "That and she's freaked out by hospitals cause she's afraid of being caught and being sent back to the foster home were she's afraid he'll get to her. But she's to afraid of the officials to get to that part."

"Oh poor dear, I hope I didn't scare her off." My wife, Esme, worried.

I sighed, "Esme, come with me, you can help calm her. Alice, were is she now?"

"She's on the fire escape that just happened to be right outside her window." She said after a moment, "You know, she always finds away to get out of that place. You would think, after one escape the doctor would learn to make sure there would be no way the patient would escape a second time."

"Alright Alice, I get it. It's partially my fault she escaped now if you don't mind, I have to go and get her before she gets hurt...again." with that, I took Esme's hand in mine and made our way through the forest to the hospital.

* * *

It didn't take long to reach the each of the forest and find Lily fall on her knees from the fire escape.

"Esme, stand over there behind the tree." she nodded and went behind the tree as Lily ran in my direction.

"You weren't thinking about running away again were you?" I asked her as she stopped short, her heart beat was speeding up as her breathing became ragged. Crap she thinks I'm that Ross guy.

"I-I uh-I" Lily stuttered as she took a step back.

"It's okay Lily, I'm not going to hurt you." Nope, still not working, her breathing is still labored, "It's me, Doctor Cullen."

"D-doctor C-Cullen?" She stuttered as she dropped her bag on the ground, "Oh, uh-um, I-I, uh, hi"

I crossed my arms across my chest, giving her a stern look, "You were going to run off again, weren't you?"

She looked down sheepishly, "Uh, No! I would never!" She sighed, "Sorry, yes I was, but I have my reasons for wanting to leave."

Esme came out from behind the tree and walked over to were I stood, "Would have anything to do about what you told me yesterday?"

Lily sighed as she looked at us only to look back down to the ground, "Y-yeah, it does." She looked up at us, her eyes glassy from the impending tears, "I'm sorry you had to hear that yesterday, I don't know what came over me." She looked back down, "Just please let me go, I have to get away from here"

EsPOV

"Just please let me go, I have to get away from here"

Oh, this poor girl. If she thinks I'm letting her go from here, she's got another thing coming.

"Lily, we can't just let you leave here." Carlisle said as she snapped her head back up, her eyes filled with fear.

"Please, I'm begging you. Don't get anyone else involved, just let me go and you can back to your life and act as if I never came here." Tears started streaming down her cheeks, "Just please, let me g-go" Her voice broke on the last word.

I ran over and hugged her tightly-but not tight enough to do damage-as she started to sob in my chest, "Shh, no one's getting involved besides me. I'm not going to tell anyone, I promised yesterday I wouldn't tell, didn't I? I promised I could keep a secret and I did. I haven't told anyone what you said yesterday." I stroked her hair making soothing noises as she continued to sob.

Finally, her sobs died down to mere sniffles as she pulled away slowly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"

"Lily, it's okay. But like I said, I haven't told a soul about what you said." She looked over to Carlisle, "He only knows because even though he is a brilliant doctor, he let his curiosity get in the way and listened into our conversation yesterday."

Her eyes widened, "I'm sorry Lily, I didn't mean to pry at all. I was just curious as to why a girl such as yourself would be in the middle of forest at that time of night. I'm terribly sorry for eavesdropping on you."

Lily looked down in silence.

"Lily?"

no response.

"Lily? What's wrong?"

Still no response.

"Lily, please tell me what's wrong?" I pleaded.

She looked at me, her deep brown eyes, now rimmed with red, glassy as she spoke so softly, without my heightened senses I wouldn't have caught it, "Your the first one who kept that promise."

"What do you mean?" I asked bewildered at what she said.

"There was one other woman I told my story to, well the edited version without the vampires, and the next day she had gotten a hold of my social worker and said that they found me a new home. I was afraid that Ross would find me again so I left. I haven't told my story to anyone since then. Until I met you that is."

I grinned softly, "Lily, I know this is sudden and a little strange, but would you like to be apart of my family?"

LPOV

Join her family? Was she serious?

"Y-you w-want me to j-join y-your f-family?" I stammered out not fully believing it. Why would a wonderful vampire woman like Esme want me-a useless human girl- to join her family? She must be crazy.

She grinned, "Yes, I would love it if you like join our family. You don't have to if you don't want to."

I don't know if my luck was trying to find remorse on all the years of torment or if I was just having a dream, but either way, this is the best news on earth. "You would be able to adopt me-a messed up foster child?" I just had to make sure this was true.

"Not just her but me too." Doctor Cullen walked over and wrapped his arm around Esme's waist. "And we don't think your a messed up foster child, just a girl that's been through to much at such a young age." Esme said with a slight grin.

I didn't know what to do, so I did the first thing that came to mind and hugged Esme with as much love as I was able to conjure up at the moment as the tears overflowed and was rolling down my cheeks, "Yes! Yes, I would love to join your family."

EsPOV

"Yes! Yes, I would love to join your family."

Those words brought me so much joy, I thought my dead heart was going to burst as Lily still held onto me.

I have a new daughter!!

LPOV

I have a family, I finally have a family! (A/N: I was so tempted to stop here, but I promised I would give you some Seth so you better be happy with this :D)

* * *

I can't believe this is happening. Maybe those events that happened yesterday were trying to tell me something. Maybe God knew Esme was here and made sure that every known element made sure I stayed in this town so this could happen. That or maybe my luck decided to give me a break and gave me happiness for once. Either way, I didn't care. I finally have a family and i've never been happier.

Esme told me about her other 'kids', Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett along with Edward and Bella and their daughter Renesmee. She even told me about Renesmee's boyfriend(Imprint), Jacob. Imprinting is a very strange thing from how Esme explained it, love at first sight only stronger and more, for lack of a better word, permanent. Very strange, oh well.

She even explained how some vampires have extra powers like Alice can see the future, Edward is a mind reader (which explains so much), Jasper is an empath, while Renesmee(Nessie) has a unique way of communicating with people. With that little tidbit of information made me wonder if Ross or his 'friends' had any powers.

"Ready Lily?" I heard Esme's voice pull me out of my thoughts.

"Huh?" I said incoherently as I clasp my mother's necklace around my neck(I never wear it unless special occasions such as wanting to make myself somewhat presentable.)

"I asked if you were ready? Carlisle already took care of everything else and he has everything at home so you can continue your recovery." Did I mention that I'm being put under careful watch so I can eat to get to my recommended weight?

"Oh, okay. Yeah, I'm ready." at least I hope I am. I just prayed that I could get through the introductions without being nervous and speak Spanish...again.

She grinned as I got off the bed, slung my bag over my shoulder and walked over to where she stood by the door. "You know everyone's excited to meet you" She said randomly as we walked down the hall.

"Really?" I asked shyly as we got in the elevator.

"Of course. They can't wait to meet their new little sister. Well, Alice can't for a new barbie doll, but don't tell her I said that." I giggled, I can't believe they're excited to meet me, I mean, I can't wait to meet my new siblings but I thought I was the excited one.

"Secret is safe with me, until they find out later." We chuckled softly at that.

"Well, look whose all smiling this morning." Carlisle chuckled as he walked over and wrapped his arm around Esme's waist, "Well, are you two ready? I don't think Jasper can hold off Alice and her excitement any longer. Edward told me Jasper is starting to get effected by it and it's not pretty. She got him to go shopping for some last minute things." Poor Jasper, I heard that Alice makes shopping trips a 'little' over the top.

"Poor Jasper, I do hope they make it back in time." Esme said in her motherly tone.

"Don't worry Esme, Alice wouldn't miss this for the world. She should be heading back by now knowing her." Carlisle told her.

Carlisle led us to a black car and we got in. The car was nice, but I was never one for the mechanics. I sat quietly in the back worrying about meeting my new family.

SPOV

There are times when i wonder if something/someone out there hates me and doesn't want me to be happy of just loves to torture me.

I'm over at the Cullens house sitting on the couch wondering why I'm here at all. Don't get me wrong, the Cullens are the best but when they divide up to the couples, it makes me feel weird. Emmett and Rosalie are...well you don't want to know, Jasper and Alice are out shopping-Poor Jasper, Alice dragged him into it- Edward and Bella-my best vampire friends- are sitting at the piano while Edward plays his new piece he's been working on, heck, even Nessie is playing Jake! Usually I would be taking patrol because of the new nomad vampire smell I fished out the other day but Edward told me to stay here to meet the new Cullen girl. "Trust me Seth, your going to love her. You two are going to hit it off right away, i know it." Edward called out continuing his song. 'Alright but if we don't, you have to promise not to have Emmett and Jasper drag me to school, 'cause i really don't want to go' "Alright, but when you do, your going to school whether me and my brothers have to drag you or not, got it?" 'Yes, you have a deal.' "Yes, we do" he finished his song and him and Bella headed over to the loveseat across from me.

After a moment i heard the sound of car doors shutting close and footsteps heading towards the door, "They're here, finally" Edward said as Carlisle and Esme walked into house.

"Hello, i would like you all to meet the newest member of our family, Lily" Carlisle stepped to the left to reveal a girl who looked to be fifteen, her dark brown-almost black-hair fell to the middle of her back, she looked just a little taller than Alice but shorter than Bella. Her facial features made her look almost childlike but her curves said different. She gripped the strap of her small ragged old backpack tighter as she skimmed the room quietly-probably looking at the family that suddenly filled the room behind me. Her deep almond eyes landed on mine and suddenly this girl became the most important thing in my life.

"Looks like we're dragging you to school"

LPOV

"Looks like we're dragging you to school" Edward said. I looked at him in confusion. "Trust me, you will understand soon enough."

I just nodded unsure how to take that. I looked around the room and my eyes landed once again on the dark eyed boy next to Bella. There was something about him that I couldn't place my finger on. He was tall but not taller than the boy next to the bronze haired girl. He short dark hair that was a shade darker than his deep eyes that I seemed to find myself lost in at the moment and I couldn't think straight.
"Hey Lil' Sis!!" Said a booming voice that shoved me out of my thoughts. I looked to see a rather large man running over and pick me up in a large bear sized hug. Bear, that's an animal to compare him to. I tensed at the sudden movement but then realized they were my family and I was safe with them and started to relax slowly.

"C-can't...b-breathe!" I breathed out.

"Oops, sorry. I forgot" He let me down and made sure I wouldn't fall.

"Yes, like you forgot so many other things" The tall blond girl walked over and hugged me softly, "Hi, I'm Rosalie, and that big lug is my husband Emmett"

"Hey!" Emmett pouted like a child his arms crossed over his chest.

"Oh, don't worry, you know I love you" Rosalie gave him a quick kiss.

"Hi! I'm Alice!" A short pixie-like girl run over and hugged me. "I can't wait to take you shopping, oh! We'll have an all girl's shopping trip, maybe next week. No, to far away, how about this week? Oh! Perfect! This Saturday, there's a sale at the mall and you need a good shopping trip to break you in. Let me look at you, Pink would probably set right with your skin tone, no wait, purple, no better yet, lavender. Oh! I can't believe your here! I'm so excited! This is so awesome even though I can't see your future considering the circumstances which you'll find out about later you'll have so much fun here. I just know you'll love it here!" Oh wow. I thought Esme was exaggerating a little but I guess not. I mean, she just said all that in one breath!

"Don't mind her. She's just excited to have a new barbie doll." Said a tall blond guy with a bit of an southern accent. His accent reminded me of my grandma when she lived in Texas (I lived there to before the whole foster home thing but my accent is more spanishy I guess). "I'm Jasper by the way, nice to meet you."

"Hi, I'm Renesmee and this is my boyfriend Jacob" The bronze haired girl, who I recognized from the forest, said. So the Jacob boy was the wolf from the forest too? Well, Esme did say Jacob was a werewolf but it's so weird to think about.

"Yes that was him." Edward answered my non-spoken question, darn him and his mind reading.

"What did she ask?" Jasper asked confused.

"Oh, she was just wondering if she saw Jacob in wolf form, in the forest yesterday" Edward answered his brother.

"Jacob! Is that what you were doing yesterday when you were just standing there?" Renesmee asked.

He looked down at her, "Yeah, but only because I thought it was weird that a girl would be in the forest at that time of day, or at all for that matter."

"Well, that's our disfunctional family for you..oh! Including Seth here. Almost forgot about him, with him so quiet and all." Bella said a little awkwardly.

"Wow" was all I said.

SPOV

"Wow" was all she said. Her soft child like voice made her that much more perfect to me.

"So let's go show her to her new room shall we?" Esme asked breaking the silence that fell on us.

"Oh! Come on Lily! I hope you like it!" Alice grabbed Lily's hand and dragged her upstairs.

"Come let's go save our new sis from Alice" Rose said with a sigh as her, Bella, Nessie, and Esme headed upstairs.

"Sooo..." Emmett grinned as he sat down on the couch.

"Welcome to the club Sethy!" Jake chuckled as he patted my back.

I sighed, "I hate you guys."

"heart you to Seth, heart you too." Edward chuckled, "You know what this means?" Oh no.

"Seth, why don't you take a sit right here." Jasper sat me down on the couch opposite of them.

"Since you imprinted with our new sister, it's only fair to set some ground rules." Edward said, their game faces on. I'm so dead.

"First off, no PDA in front of us at any point in time." Jasper said, "exceptions can be made but for a good cause only."

"Second, she's had a pretty rough-no rough doesn't even begin to cover it- but she's had, for lack of a better word, a hell of a tough past-"Edward started.

"So if you hurt her in any way, shape, or form we have rights to pummel you into the dirt without you putting up a fight, got that?" Emmett finished.

"oh and Seth, the guys are right, she's had a pretty hard past and we would tell you but that's for her to tell you and for her it might be hard to even trust you. It was a miracle she even trusted Esme but I don't even think she gave the full story just the basics with little detail. So please understand if she doesn't take a liking in you yet, but she well get used to it eventually." Carlisle added.

"Okay guys" I sighed, "don't worry, you have full rights to hurt me if I hurt her and don't worry i'll try to make her feel comfortable before she spills the beans." Their rules were rational and easy to live with. They were just trying to make sure that their little sister would be in good hands and I don't blame them, I'm just as protective of my sister even though she is older than me and all.

Now to just pray she'll take this imprint thing well.

Sooo..

Sorry this is late but hey, better late than never. so i hope you enjoy and i added some Seth to the picture.

Next time we'll see her room and maybe Seth will tell her about their imprint...maybe....maybe not..

oh! Lily's necklace is on my profile so if you want to see what it looks like its only a click away.

um, i think that's it but let me think,.....oh!

It's Spring Break here in Texas and so i'm going out of town on friday so the next one should be up thrusday or sometime next week but until then enjoy this chapter!

so, tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day and so while your wearing green, you could press that pretty green button down there and maybe you'll be spared from the pinching that my brother is so close to torturing me with so do me a favor and press that button? It will make me so happy.

update soon!
