Okay, here's the 3rd chapter for ya guys :)

Its a bit shorter than the other 2, but I'm hoping that after this chapter, the story will start rolling at a slightly faster pace~

I know, I know. I don't like the fact that I took 3 chapters to go through one day either xD.

Anyways, happy reading :) Remember to R&R.

Disclaimer: Twilight? Nope. Edward? Nope. So what do I own? A notebook of ideas, and a little girl named Marie :)


"See, mommy and daddy aren't fighting. We're happy, because we have you Marie!" I said after kissing both Edward and Marie on the cheek. This girl has got to stop watching tv. She believes everything she sees on that darn thing.

"Mommy's right, we are very happy with you, Marie." Edward chirped after blanking out for a few seconds.

"Are you sure..?" Marie whispered through her small sniffles.

"Of course we are sweetie" I gave her a light squeeze as I spoke. I guess she was satisfied with the answer we gave her, because she went right back to eating her frozen yogurt.

I turned towards Edward as I took out the file about Marie that we were given at the orphanage. I opened it and passed Edward one of the papers and I took one out to read myself.

Marissa Elisabeth Halifax

Birthday: October 2, 2004

Date of Entrance (to orphanage): December 30, 2006

Reason of Entrance: Father murdered, Mother sentenced to life prison. No relatives.

Special Needs: Constant assurance of her parents' love toward her and to each other, Someone to sleep with at night, scared of crowds.

Allergies: Kiwi, Cat fur, Pollen, Peanuts

The documents didn't really say much about her personality. I was shocked to read that her mother was still in prison. It never occurred to me that any of these children might still have parents out there that just are able or can't be bothered to take care of them. Edward wore a sad expression when I pointed out the reason of her entrance to the orphanage.

As I put the documents away, Edward decided to start playing 20 questions with Marie in order to get to know her more.

"Marie, what's you favourite colour?"

"Blue! Its the colour of the sky when God is happy!" she smiled brightly at us. I couldn't help but laugh when she said that.

"Hmmm, mommy, what's your favouritest thing to do?"

"It would definitely be reading" I stated.

"Edward, what's the most precious thing in your life?" I smirked at him.

"Well, other than my lovely daughter here, it would most definitely be my volvo."

"Volvo?" I raised my eyebrow at him.

His eyes grew big, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "My car?"

"Okay, Marie, its your turn again. What's something that you've always wanted to do, but never done before?" Edward asked.

"I always wanted to go to Disneyland! The biggest one!" Her eyes shone brightly as she spoke animatedly about it.

"You mean Disney World?" I questioned.

"Yes! The one in... Orando." She replied, after trying to think of the city, Orlando.

"Hmmm, then I guess we'll have to find some time this month to go on a trip." Edward grinned at her.

A trip? Just the 3 of us? I couldn't believe it. I wanted to dance out of the excitement that I contain inside of me. Suddenly, I jerked my thoughts into a halt. NO Bella. Stop thinking about him like that. Do not get your hopes up. You're just going to be disappointed.

We continued on with the game until I turned my head towards the window and saw the sun setting. "We should be going, its getting a bit late."

"Yes we should," Edward said as a very tired Marie climbed onto his back for a piggy back ride. "I don't think she'll last very long now."

As we got into the car once again, I started wondering, where was Marie going to sleep? Who's home would she go to. I thought back to my little apartment with Alice in the room next door. I wonder what Edward's apartment looks like...

"So Bella, where should I be driving off to?" Edward asked as he started off the car.

"Oh, it not too far away from here, just turn left at the next traffic light and keep going down the road." I paused for a minute before asking, "Do you want Marie to stay with me, or with you?"

The car filled with silence for a moment before Edward broke it, "Its up to you, I could take her if you want, but I have a roommate who often.. ermm.. brings his girlfriend back home.." he shifted awkwardly as he told me.

"So, she's staying with me then" I confirmed. Luckily for me, most of the time Alice preferred staying over at Jasper's when they wanted to.. be with each other, so there wasn't much to shield Marie's ears from.

"I guess she is.." Edward smiled at me.

We drove down the road in silence for the remainder of the trip to my house. It wasn't awkward like I thought it would've been. Instead, it was a peaceful silence.

Once we arrived at the door of the building, Edward followed me up the stairs with a sleeping Marie in his arms. I unlocked the door of the apartment and held it open while pointing Edward the way towards my bedroom. When I walked into the doorway, I stopped before I could disturb them. Edward was tucking Marie into my bed, and he gave her a light kiss on the forehead before getting up.

"N-no...." Marie mumbled suddenly. "Daddy... don't go.."

"Honey, don't worry, mommy will be here with you, and I'll be back first thing in the morning. Just go to sleep now." Edward hushed her.

"No... I want mommy and daddy.." she cried, "You're suppose to s-sleep on one side of me... , and m-mommy has to sleep on the other side..."

Edward looked up at me as if he was trying to ask me for the answer. I sighed, "alright sweetie, but only tonight. Tomorrow you have to let daddy go home.."

I climbed into bed next to Marie, and Edward did the same. I felt Marie's little arms pulls us both closer to her, thus closer to each other. I could feel the heat radiating off of my cheeks. Good thing the lights were off.

And that's how I ended up sleeping with Edward Cullen.
