"Oh my goodness! Edward, you're really here! I've missed you so much." The woman said before pulling Edward into a tight hug.

"And Bella? I presume. My, my, Edward wasn't exaggerating when he told me how beautiful you are." I blushed furiously at the compliment. I turned to look at Edward, and found him facing the other way as an attempt to hid the blush crawling up to his own face.

Mrs. Cullen, or Esme as she insisted that I called her, didn't look a day over 30. She had dark orange hair that curled in at the end, and a warm smile that made her seem like the nicest person in the whole world. She was stunningly gorgeous. I felt like shrinking into the corner of the room, so out of place. What was I doing with such a wonderful family?

"You must be little Marie!" Esme exclaimed as she led us into the living room, "Aww, aren't you the cutest thing! I'm going to have so much fun spoiling you."

"Mother, she doesn't need to be spoiled by you, we've pretty much covered that part already." Edward said. He was right, for the whole time that Marie had been with us, there was not one time where we said no, or denied her of something that she wanted. This was partly because Marie wasn't the most demanding child ever, but we both knew that even if she was, neither of us could bear to see the feeling of disappointment written across her face.

"Edward's right, we spoiled her enough already. It would be wonderful if you could actually teach her a thing or two." I piped in.

"Nonsense, she's my first grand-daughter, and I'm going to treat her like the perfect little princess that she is." Esme bent down and held out her hand for Marie to take, "Now would you like to come into the kitchen with me and have some cookies while mommy and daddy go put you belongings in you new room?"

Marie turned to me and put on her cutest puppy-dog face, "Can I go mommy?"

I groaned, "You know that I can't say no to that face…"

Marie's face lit up with excitement and gave my legs a little squeeze before following Esme into the kitchen.

"What are we going to do? We can't even build up the courage to say no to her?" I complained while picking up our suitcases and walking up the stairs.

"Don't worry Bella, when the time comes, we'll figure it out. We'll know what to do." Edward hushed me.

"How? I can't even say no to her now! What's gonna happen when she gets older and I still can't say no?" I gasped. I couldn't believe that I actually said that out loud.

"W-what did you say..?" Edward almost whispered to me.

"I don't know…" I sighed in confusion. "Ever since the first time Marie called me 'mommy' I haven't.. I haven't imagined my life without her in the future with me… " It was true. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't think of my life without her. I could barely remember what I did before she came along. Of course in all of my thoughts for the future, I had imagined Edward alongside of Marie every time, though of course, I wasn't about to tell him that.

Edward dropped the suitcases on the floor of the guest room and just stood there for a long time before he finally spoke up, "Uhh, are you saying that you're going to adopt her..?"

I blanked out. I had never about the possibility of adoption; I knew that it was stupid since I wanted Marie in my life. "Oh… we'll I definitely want her…" I thought out loud to myself, "but… w-what if they won't let me k-keep her? " I realized. I didn't have the ability to raise her on my own. I didn't even have the money to. I was a high school teacher, and unless some miracle appeared and I was suddenly given my dream job as a journalist, I knew that I would never have the financial ability, at least not any time soon. "Oh my gosh… I'm going to have to give her up…" I gasped.

"What are you talking about? You think that I haven't thought about adopting her myself? I love her too, you know?"

"What..? Bu-.." I couldn't say it out loud. What would happen? Would Edward keep Marie? I knew that he probably could afford to take care of her.. But where would I stand? I knew that I always wanted to be Marie's mommy, but what if Edward found someone else? Would I be out of the picture?

"What's wrong?" Edward asked with a look of concern on his face.

"Uhh, I-...Umm...I'm just worried where that'll leave me.." I whispered, barely projecting any sound at all.

"What are you talking about? You'll be Marie's mommy, like always."

"I know.. but.. whatifonedayyoufindsomeoneelsewhocanbemarie'snewmommy?" I blabbed.

Edward paused for a minute, trying to comprehend what had just left my mouth. "Bella." He sighed, "if you can't see for yourself then maybe this won't work afterall.." and with that, he walk out of the room, leaving me speechless and extremely confused.

What did he mean by that? Was he saying that it would work? I couldn't think of any answers to any of the questions that were floating through my head. The only thing I knew was that I might just have lost Edward. I didn't know what to do, so I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"Oh, Bella! Here you are!" Esme greeted me warmly, "If you have the time, I would really love some help making dinner. I just got off of the phone, and apparently we have some unexpected guests coming over."

"Of course, Esme, its the least I can do after inturrupting your life with this little visit." I forced a smile out. She didn't do anything wrong, so no matter how upset I was at the moment, I needed to at least act like I was enjoying myself. Esme made that really easy for me. Her warm smiles and personality made me feel a lot better than I actually was.

"What are you talking about? I couldn't be happier! Edward seems so much more cheerful around you and Marie than he ever was!"

*Ding Dong*

"Oh, that must be our guests. I'll go get the door." Esme said to me before hustling out of the kitchen.

While she was gone, I thought again about what she had said. Was it really true that Edward had become a lot more cheerful? What was that suppose to mean? I felt a little tug on my pants, and was pulled out of my thoughts. I looked down and found a little girl with jet black hair staring at me with her pretty grey eyes.

"Hi Aunt Bella!" She grinned at me.

"Wha-?" I looked towards the door of the kitchen, "ALICE? Oh my gosh, what are you doing here?"

"Haha, Suprised to see me?" She came over and gave me a hug "I told Edward that I'd find some time to come!"

"Is Jasper here too?" I asked.

"Yeah, oh, and this is my daughter Anna." She pointed at the little girl standing next to me.

"Nice to meet you Anna, why don't you go play with your cousin Marie while your mommy and I talk." I smiled at her before she ran off in search for Marie.

"So, you're mommy too, huh?" I raised an eyebrow at her.

"Yeah.. I guess I am." Alice replied, obviously happy.

"Aren't you going to miss her when you have to bring her back to the orphanage?"

"What?" Alice questioned, "I'm not giving her back to that place. She's mine, and I guess Jasper's too."

"What are you talking about, Alice? You're gonna stay with Jasper and raise a child? How's that gonna work?" I asked, realizing that I was stuck in the same position as her.

"It'll be fine." Alice confirmed, "Oh, I've got a big announcement to make before dinner. We just have to wait till Rose and Emmet get here."

"Huh? They're coming too?"

"Of course! I told them to come along." and with that, Alice skipped out of the kitchen.

R&R Please and Thank you :))
