ESPOV

It was Monday and like every Monday I did the same thing. Send my husband off to work and my kids off to school. My husband Carlisle is a doctor at Forks hospital and had been for 10 years. He loved his job of helping people, but always made time for his family. It was one reason why we moved to small town after 5 years of marriage and we were also struggling with the time our jobs demanded. He and I talked and he told me we couldn't start a family living the way we were. So he started looking for another job.

When Carlisle found out the small town of Forks was looking for a doctor he jumped at the chance. His grandparents had lived here and he always had a place in his heart for the town. I trusted him. So we packed up and moved into his grandparents old house. We've been there ever since.

I'm a designer. Ever since I was young I've been one to decorate. I love taking a place that looked horrible and making it beautiful. My bosses in Chicago hated to see me go, but recommended me to the Port Angelis firm there are partnered with. I was hired on the spot and now I own it.

As for my children, they are a long story. When I had my first miscarriage my doctor told Carlisle and I that we couldn't have children. My body wouldn't let us. I cried for hours. A month later my sister and her husband died from a robbing. I was her only family besides our parents and distant relatives. My parents were to old to take my niece and Nephew and I was also their godmother, so child services offered me the chance to take them before they were sent to a foster home. Carlisle instantly agreed to take them when I told him.

So we flew back to Chicago and brought home Edward and Alice. The start of my family. After that I became a volunteer at the orphanage in Port Angelis. There Carlisle and I registered to be foster parents. After a year I brought home another set of twins, Rosalie and Jasper. Two months after that we completed our family with my last son Emmett. They were the kids no one wanted. They all came with a horrible past, much like my Alice and Edward. Others couldn't handle it. So they would be sent out way.

I believed it as Fate. The five of them needed a mother and I needed children. We all fit together perfectly. They are our own. Fate has a funny way of doing things though. It liked to catch people off guard. It did that to me lots of times. Like it did today.

Like always, I went to the social services office before work. I make the employees a treat for lunch every day. I saw a few city police cars when I pulled it. I knew instantly something was wrong. Either some kid was getting detained for something or one was being brought in. They always bring the kids here first. I parked and quickly walked through the doors.

There were many police women surrounding a young girl. All I could see was her brown hair, but heard her crying. I hate hearing kids cry, it breaks my heart. I started moving toward her, but turned when my name was called.

"Esme," Benjamin, the boss of the office called.

"Benjamin, how are you?" I asked politely. I could tell how stressed he was.

"I could be better," he told me.

"Yeah, so who's the girl?" I glanced back at her.

"Isabella. Cops found her 10 minutes outside of the city. Her foster mom was killed by her foster dad. There is also a claim that she was sexually abused," he said quieter.

"Poor girl. Where are you going to send her?" I asked concerned. I wanted her. She would fit into our family. I knew I couldn't leave her. I looked back at her again. Benjamin caught on.

"No," he stated authoritively to me. I looked back at her.

"Oh come on. We both know I would be best for her," I pleaded with him.

"She's terrified of men Esme and you have four in your house."

"At least until you find her another family. Besides we both know my boys will stay away from her if I ask them," I fought.

"More like demand," he whispered to himself, then added, "I can't. I have to put her in a house with only women. Besides you'll get attached and when it's time for her to go elsewhere we would be having this conversation again,"

"And she won't lat a day. You know this. You tried to do the same thing with Rose. And I'll let her go without a fight." I said getting slower on the last part.

"No Esme. We both know that I can't. I have to do what my bosses tell me and they along with the cops suggest that she be placed in a house of women."

"Give me two months. You can check after that and if she doesn't want to stay you can take her. Please! I will beg if I have to," I gave him my puppy eyes.

"Fine. I'll see what I can do," I smiled puppy eyes work every time.

"Thank you Benjamin. Can I go talk to her?" I asked. He sighed.

" Yeah. Just be careful. She's been looking for a way out since she got here," I shook my head and walked to her.

All the women looked at me and held their ground. They weren't going to let anyone through.

"It's ok ladies, Mrs. Cullen isn't going to hurt her," I heard the police chief say. He and Carlisle go way back. They went to high school together. A few of the women moved out of my way, then locked me in their dome. I went up to Isabella and replaced the cop sitting beside her.

"Do you like chocolate chip cookies?" I asked her. She pulled her head from her hands and gave me a confused expression. "I have some with me. I brought them in for the employees. You can have some if you want. Between you and me they don't really deserve them." She looked at the basket in my lap. " They will make you feel better. My cookies always make people feel better. Besides every girl needs to have some chocolate once in a while." She glanced at me and then at the cookies. She thinks I did something to them. So I grab one and take a bite. She watches as I chew and swallow. Then she slowly lifts her hand and takes one. Then bites into it. Mission Accomplished.

Like everyone does when they first try Grandma Platt's recipe, she moaned at the taste. She looks up at me with a question in her eyes. " You can have another one if you want," I say. She grabs another one. "My name's Esme by the way. They tell me yours is Isabella?" I state.

She shakes her head no and very quietly whispers, "Bella. I want to be called Bella."

"Bella it is then," I smiled. I sat with her for an hour. Not talking, just sitting.

"Esme!" I hear Benjamin call. I turn to him and he signals me to come. I look back at Bella.

"I'll be right back." I get up and put my basket on the bench. "Can you hold this for me?" I asked and walked away without her answer.

When I got into Benjamin's office he shut the door and told me the news. "Ok, so I made some calls and everything is worked out. You and Carlisle will take her in for two months. After that someone will come and talk to her. If she is comfortable she will stay until we can find her a permanent home."

"What if we want to adopt her?" I asked simply out of interest.

"You can't. They told me not to let you do that. They said they let you slide with the last two. You can only hold so many kids Esme and your already over the limit," he said.

"Well apparently Angelina Jolie didn't get the message. We've only adopted two out of the four," I stated.

" I know, but no one is going to take the other two away. Besides, Isabella's case is different. They have to take different steps. And I also had to beg them to let you take her. I put my job on the line. If this doesn't happen it's my job. It is the only way you can do this Esme. You are not aloud to adopt her, and once a home is found she must go. No fighting or arguing involved," he stated.

I would agree to the terms. I needed Bella as much as she needed me.

"Ok, where are the papers?" I asked.

It took two hours to get everything finalized. I had to check with Carlisle and my lawyer. So much legal things to fill out. But afterward I walked out of Benjamin's office ready to take my daughter home.

"Esme," I turned to look at Benjamin. "If you help her in anyway, help her find herself again. You and Carlisle work miracles with kids like her, I've seen it with the others. She's too young to stay lost. I would know after all." I smiled at him.

"Fate works in mysterious ways Benjamin. There is a reason she is suppose to come home with me. I promise you she will come back from this. It will be good for her to come live with my family. It will be good for all of us." I said.

As I was leaving I heard him whisper, "I hope your right Esme, I hope your right."
