Chapter Two

"BELLA." I yell searching the house.

Bella is four years old and she is an energetic little one. She loves playing hide and seek when it is bath time. I look in Carlisle's office. He looks up from his desk and smirks at me.

Carlisle joined me last year. Bella had fallen down the stairs and I took her to the ER. He was her attending doctor. We shared the same diet and had many of the same interests. He moved in with us a week later. I couldn't have met a better person.

Bella views him as her grandfather of sorts. He loves her like his own daughter, much like me. I hear a giggle bringing me back to the present. I look at Carlisle and he points to his curtain.

"Oh were oh were could Bella be."I say and go to the curtain and tickle her through it. She squeals and runs out from behind it, going under my legs and darting behind Carlisle.

"Grandpa save me" She yells and he laughs .I pick her up and swing her onto my shoulders.

"Time for a bath, love."I say and she whines.

"Do I have to?"She asks and I nod.

Bella for her age is very smart. She was talking at six months and walking at one year. She is very advanced for a human. She also knows what me and Carlisle are. Though I never expected her to run away I never expected her to accept what we are so easily . She was so excited when we told her , glad to be in on the secrete .

I put her in the bath and washed her hair as she played with her dolls in the water.

"Edward?"She asks. I look at her.

"What's wrong love?"I ask.

"What's sex?"She asks and I choke on air. Did..she ..just

"Love where did you hear that?"I ask

"On Barney."She says and I hear Carlisle get up from his office.

I will be making a call to that company

He says to me. I whisper a thanks and look back Bella realizing she expects an answer.

"Ask me that when your seventeen."I say and she pouts but complies.

I wrap a towel around her and take her into her room. Her room is sky blue with clouds on it. Carlisle and I had worked on it when she was three .I think for her birthday I will hire an interior designer to do her room up. Five is a big age and I think it's time to get her out of the crib.

Me and Carlisle had decided we would move before Bella's birthday people had been getting suspious of me and Bella. We were considering England but it was to risky with Bella because of the number of vampires that could be there. So we had decided Alaska. It had a small population and a hospital that seemed in need of help.

Carlisle left early so he could get the house ready. He hired an interior designer to do the house up and me and Bella would be joining him when it was finished. I felt bad leaving him to deal with either a gay guy or a horny woman.

After he left me and Bella went shopping and she picked out things she wanted for her birthday though…between me and Carlisle she gets gifts every time we leave the house. We spoil her but she is the only child me and Carlisle have been with so we have a right to!

It was about two weeks later that Carlisle called and said the house was done. There was something though in his voice that seemed off. I packed up Bella she had put on her grey striped hat and she was in her Bella long sleeve shirt and black pants. She looked adorable.
