I didn't even notice when Emmett pulled into Rosalie and Jasper's driveway. They climbed in with there bags, and then we were off on the road again.
Alice was trying to find some good Christmas songs on the radio. Rosalie was talking to Alice, telling her to turn the crap off.
Emmett was talking to Jasper about the huge football game that was coming up this weekend. Leave it to them to tell you all about sports.
I sighed, looking at the green numbers, indicating that it was 5:21. Alice shreiked, pointing to something out the window. What was that? Emmett stopped, the brakes not working for a second against the snow, but came to a hult.
We all got out of the car, Rosalie and Alice running, well, slipping on the ice, towards it. There in a box, was something wrapped up in a blanket. Alice picked it up. She gasped. By that time, we were already over there.
"Oh my god!" Rosalie said, sheilding the snow away from the infants eyes. There in a blue blanket, was a baby girl, brown eyes and curly brown hair. She reminded me of-
"Who would just leave her on the side of the road?" Alice said, now holding the shivering figure in her hands. She started crying. They all started panicking.
"Shoot! Did you brake her Alice?!" Emmett shouted, making us all jump. Jeez.
"Well, maybe we should take her into the car so she doesn't freeze to death." I said after a moment, thinking of how long it would be until we got to the airport.
"Well where are we going to put her after this?" Jasper asked as we were walking towards the car. Good question. I never thought about that.
"We're so not going to give her away!" Rosalie said, Alice and her coming to a stop so Emmett could unlock the doors. As he did, they all jumped into the car, leacing us guys outside to think.
"What should we do?" Emmett asked again, thinking of possible ways. After some minutes of talking, we decided to bring it with us to Jacksonville, and we'll see how it goes from there. Once we got into the car, we finally heard the little girl start crying.
"Shh!" Rosalie and Alice said, trying to make the deafening sound stop. Finally, I had had enough. I took the girl from Rosalie, and she instantly stopped crying. What the? Did I hit an off button or something?
"How'd you do that Edward?" Alice asked, her mouth opened in shock. I just shrugged my shoulders as the girl fell asleep in my arms. I sighed, now it would be quiet. Alice foud some classical music that was soothing, and turned it on low.
"What are we gonna name her?" Emmett whispered, looking up into the mirror overhead. He did have a point. We couldn't just keep calling her 'baby' or 'girl'. Everyone started whispering some names.
"Elizabeth!"
"Mary!"
"Mercedes!"
"Tom Brady!" Wait, what? We all looked up at Emmett, who looked innocent. "Oh, come on! Can't you just picture it? We're all in the store right, and we can't find her. Then, when we find her, we're all like, "Tom Brady!" and everyone turns towards us, and then finally see that it's just a baby." Uh, okay?
"Emmett! There is no way that we are going to call her that." Rosalie said lightly, but got the point out.
"Fine. But I'm nicknaming her that." Emmett said after a moment, smiling to himself. Rosalie started again, but I just cut her off. She grumbled something under her breath as she crossed her arms over her chest.
As we were aproaching the drivethrough, it was very hard to find a parking space. "Right there!" Alice said, pointing out the window. Emmett saw it, started driving over there, but there was another car who took his place.
After finally deciding to just park down the road and walk, I had to give Rosalie the baby. She whimpered, grabbing hold on the bottom of my shirt in her tiny hands. I pried them off, sighing.
Why was this baby so into me?
Once we got into the airport with the whailing child, it seemed like no one even cared. Most of the people were either watching something on there cell phones, or on the tv.
"What's going on?" Emmett asked, walking over to the tv where a huge crowd of people were waiting.
"A lot of things. Someone says that there has beem a murder on the lose," One of the young ladies said. I could see Rosalie's grip get tighter on the baby. "Also, there's been a huge amount of power outages, so now we're all stuck here over night." Well jeeze, wasn't this great?
"Not to menchen the 98 percent chance that we might get snowed in this airport for about 2 days, a 1 percent chance that the flights won't be delayed, and a 1 percent chance that the murder might come into this airport. Alice gasped.
"What do you mean by that?" She commanded, putting her hands on her hips.
"Well," another lady started talking. "it says that no one knows who the murderer looks like, because they always strike when there's no light."
"And, because he always strikes here, 2 days before Christmas. And today, is that day." Okay, now seriuosly, these people were starting to freak us out.
I mean, seriously, who do you think would walk in here with a gun, if theres a bunch of police here? "The cops go home after 8." Okay, were they mind readers also?
"I um, think we should just stay together." Alice said, walking a little bot towards me now. Emmett and Jasper left to find out more things about this. Rosalie did the same thing as Alice.
"Oh, come on guys. You really think that somethings going to happen?" I asked, watching the peaceful baby playing with a strand of Rosalie's blonde hair.
"Uh, yeah. I do think that that can happen Edward. Think about it." Alice said, now grabing onto my arm. I just rolled my eyes.
"Well we won't let anything happen to you Ali." I told her just as Emmett and Jasper came back with bags of fast food in there hands.
"Well," Emmett started. "Sound's like we're all going to die."
