Denali's Mansion
Esme POV
I stared at the little angel in my hands, she looked just like the one from my dreams but more beautiful and I could actually touch her for real. If only I had tears in my eyes. I touched the little angels cheeks and she put her small little palms on my hand and smiled her little cute smile. She was all I ever wanted when I was human.
"Esme she's so cute" I heard Alice whispered. Yes she is and she's my little cutie.
"She has Esme's eyes" Carlisle said. He's right those were my eyes when I was human. My father when I was human would always say that 'my rich brown eyes has always been his treasure, because they used to be mothers' now there Isabella's.
"Yes but she has your ears and nose, Oh Carlisle she has my hair when I was little until mine changed colors when I turned thirteen!" I said. I looked at her curly brown locks of soft hair.
"Something tells me that her hair is going to stay the same, Esme she looks just like you"
" She's a precious gift from above"
"What are you going to name her Esme?" Emmett asked.
"Her name is Isabella Marie Cullen" I replied.
"That's a really wonderful name Esme which is why I made this" Carlisle said pulling out a silver oval locket with the family crest on the front. (Locket on profile)
"Carlisle it's beautiful" He turned the locket around and Isabella's full name was carved in an elegant handwriting. "Alice carved the name" He whispered softly
"How did you know?" I looked at Alice.
"I heard you say it at the paint shop" She simply answered. I looked back at Carlisle and he was digging for something in his pocket and he held his hand out to show a small silver key. He put the small key in the small hole at the side of the locket and then he opened the locket and a beautiful lullaby sound came on. On the left side of the locket was a picture of all the Denali's family, and the right side was a picture of all are Cullen family, then Carlisle flipped the page of the right side and there was an inscription in the same elegant writing.No matter what happens, are bond is stronger than anything in the world. Where in your heart, like your in ares even though if it's not beating. We love you! ,Love mom and dad. Now I wish I could really cry!
"Carlisle it's beautiful!" He put the locket around Isabella and kissed her forehead. Isabella touched her locket and looked at it, then her smile grew wider. "And that lullaby is beautiful also!"
"Thank you Esme" I heard Edward say. I turned my head around to face him.
"Edward you composed that?" I asked.
"Yes, the lullaby that you heard twenty seconds ago was inspired by your daughter."
"Whats it called?"
"Isabella's Lullaby"
"I almost forgot!" Carlisle dug in his pocket and pulled out twelve silver keys "These keys are for each of you guys, it's the key to opening Isabella's locket. The keys has your first initial names on there so find yours and you may do whatever you like with them. You could make them out of necklaces, bracelets,or ankle bracelets. Whatever you want! You could even decorate the keys also" Each of us found are keys and all of us held it in are hands mesmerizing it.
"Why do we need the keys?" Kate asked.
"So will each have something apart of Isabella" Carlisle replied "And if you try to open the locket with your strength it won't bough, even if you try"
"Sweet"
I looked back at Isabella and her big brown eyes were staring right back at my golden eyes. We stared at each other for some time now until she started giggling. I smiled and kissed her forehead. Until I felt a soft tap on my shoulder. I looked up to see who taped my shoulder and saw Rosalie with a nervous smile.
"Can I hold my godchild?" She asked. I smiled and handed Isabella to her. Rosalie looked at her for a minute and smiled "She smiled at me!"
"Than she likes you!" I replied at her. Than Isabella started playing with Rosalie's golden locks of wavy hair. I giggled a little bit. Then Rosalie handed Isabella to Alice with a sad frown.
"Aww she looks so delicate!" Alice said. She touched the little baby's cheek and then Isabella grabbed Alice's hand and her small palms intertwined with Alice's. I smiled at them both, then everyone gathered around Alice and Isabella. I turn to see Edward and Jasper walking up to Carlisle and he taped his shoulder. Carlisle turned around to see Edward with a weird look.
"Carlisle?" Edward and Jasper both spoke.
"Yes?" Carlisle said.
"When Jasper and I entered the room to see little Isabella, we smelt her scent and it was so delicious that are mouth was watering venom, but are throats weren't even burning" Edward replied. After what Edward said I thought back to when Isabella came out and I could also smell her sweet scent. My mouth was watering and I didn't feel thirsty at all also but my throat wasn't burning.
"Hmm...Strange, it must be one of Isabella's special gift I guess" They both nodded but stayed at there same spot.
"But don't you think that's a little weird?" Jasper asked.
"Yes, yes it is but where just lucky that it didn't make us thirsty" They both nodded again. "Are Isabella is a mystery isn't she?" I turned around to see Tanya and Emmett fighting about wanting to be next to hold Isabella. This is going to be a day I'll never forget.
"I want to hold Isabella!" Tanya screamed to Emmett.
"No me! She'll love me more!" He yelled back. Yep I will definitely never forget this wonderful moment.
One Month Later
October 13,1990
Alaska: 5:35 P.M.
Cullen's Mansion
"Eward!" Isabella mispronounced Edwards name, and started running to him.
"Hey Angel!" He said her nickname and picked her up as he kissed her forehead softly then they went upstairs to the piano room, Edward would always play Isabella's lullaby on his piano for her, and he would sing the lyrics that they both wrote together for the lullaby.
This would be are usual routine, where one of us would look after Isabella while the rest of us go hunting and we come home,Isabella would run to Edward and they would both go upstairs to the piano room, Isabella and Edward has become really close these past weeks, they were like best friends, they do everything together.
Today Rosalie and Emmett were looking after her. I trust Rosalie looking after her god child, but big brother Emmett...I don't think so. Isabella has grown so much for the past 3 weeks, and her teeth already grew. She started walking when she was just three days old. The Denali's would usually come visit once a week to see how Isabella is doing. I remembered when Edward could barely read her mind, it was after we brought her home from the Denali's.
Flashback
We got out of are cars and I was holding Isabella in my arms. When we entered inside Isabella started crying loudly. Good thing we have everything we need in the house I thought. I sat on the couch and cradled my little angel and I used some comfort words to soothe her.
"Rosalie can you get a bottle from the fridge and warm it up, I think Isabella's hungry" I said.
"OK!" She rain to the kitchen and I could hear clinking noises and her murmuring 'bottle bottle bottle' 2 minutes later Rosalie came in the living with a bottle in her hand. She handed it to me and I fed it to Isabella. When Isabella was done with her bottle I handed the bottle to Alice and she went to the kitchen to clean it. I looked back at the little angel and she started to yawn and then she closed her eyes slowly until we couldn't see her chocolate brown eyes anymore. I held my little angel in my arms tightly and ran vampire speed to the nursery. I put Angel in her crib and I pulled a rope which made the blue vale full over the crib. I whispered sweet dreams and went downstairs to the living room. I sat next to Carlisle and I rested my head on his shoulder.
"I wonder what baby's dream about? Edward see what Isabella is dreaming about" Emmett asked. We waited for a few minutes for Edward to tell us. But All we see is a frustrated face.
"I...I don't know" Edward answered.
"What!?" Emmett's booming voice almost shook up the house. Alice, Rosalie, and I put are index fingers to are mouth.
"Shhhh...the baby's still sleeping" We said together.
"Sorry" Emmett whispered.
"Sometimes I could read her mind but it's a little fuzzy, but a lot of times I can't, like right now" Said Edward.
"When did you figure that out?"
"Thirty minutes ago"
"Will at least someone has a private mind in the family" Rosalie said out of now where
Flashback Ends
"Good times" I whispered to myself. Then I walked to the kitchen to make some food for Angel.
October 18,1990
Alaska: Morning 7:25 A.M.
Cullen's Mansion
I was just going to go outside and shovel the snow off are cars when I heard a crashing sound, and I slap then an 'OW' must be Emmett and Alice fighting again like last time at the paint store. I don't think we could show are faces in that store again.
"Emmett you broke the vase again!" I heard Alice yell.
"No I didn't!" Emmett screamed.
"Yes you did!"
"You can't prove anything!" Emmett's booming voice shook the whole house. And I heard a baby's cry.
"Look what you did Emmett you made the little Isabella cry and you woke her up!"
"No, you did!" He screamed back. I didn't bother to stop their little fight, I continued to walk towards the stairs, I saw Rosalie reading a magazine. I'll get Emmett to clean up the vase when I come back downstairs, and make him buy me a new one. I know he broke it.
"How did I make her cry?!"
"I don't know!"
"nice answer..." Alice trailed off. Then her eye's went blank, must be having a vision.
"I'm going hunting with Carlisle!" Emmett screamed and shut the door with a loud bang. I'll definitely punish him later.
I sighed and ran upstairs to the nursery room to comfort my little angel. When I got there I saw someone else comforting Isabella, the person turned around and I saw Edward holding Isabella in his arms. I smiled at the two of them. Yep definitely best friends...I think.
"Thank you Edward" I whispered.
"No problem, just helping my little sister here" He said, his voice sounded lovingly towards Angel. Ok when he said sister it just sounds wrong somehow, I don't know. I walked up to Edward and he gave me Isabella, I held her softely in my arms and I watched her sleep soundly. Edward head snapped to the window and I heard a soft growl from him. I put a hand on his shoulder and he turned back to me.
"Whats wrong?" I asked. He turned back to the window.
"We got visitors" He replied with another growl. Both of us ran to the window and we saw three vampires walking to are house and then a red head boy knocked down are door then I heard the crash, and Rosalie's scream and another crash, they must be fighting downstairs. I saw Alice and Jasper beside me and she had a panic look.
"Esme we got to get Isabella out of here!" Alice screamed "Edward protect Esme at of any cause, Jasper and I will hold them off while you go!"
"Wait Alice why didn't you see this now?!"Edward asked.
"Because they chose now to attack! Now go!" Alice said to quickly. I looked at Isabella and saw that she was still sleeping. Then Edward and I jumped out of the window and we both landed softly down. Then both of us ran in vampire speed with Isabella with us. We ran and ran faster than we ever did when, after a few minutes of running we stopped and saw that we were in the middle of the forest, Edward went to go call Carlisle, I quickly sat on the log and I shook Isabella until she woke up, her eyes fluttered open.
"Isabella remember that whatever will be will be, ok?" I whispered. She nodded her head "I just feel like something bad is going to happen any minute so I want to let you know that I love you and your father loves you" she nodded her head again. I hugged her and then she went back to sleep. I saw that Edward was done with his phone call, we both nodded to each other for us to continue running when I was just about to continue my run, Edward was suddenly tackled to the ground and two arms were holding me. I tried to break free without letting go of my baby but nothing worked, I saw two twin blond girls trying to hold me tightly. The red head that just tackled Edward down came up to me and grabbed my baby from my comforting hands.
"Give her back to me!" I screamed at him. He just looked at me and smirked evilly. Where was Carlisle and Emmett where I need them! Oh yeah thats right they both went hunting for their father son bonding time!
"I don't think so. The volturi would love to raise a powerful baby" He said. After that he ran off. I kicked the blonds leg on my right with my heel, and I kicked the other blonds stomach with my elbow. After when I was free, the two were just about to run when I grabbed both of their hands and I shoved both of them to the snowy ground. I heard my family coming to me but I don't care right now what I want is my child back.
"Where do you think your going girls! I don't think so!" I yelled at them. I handed the blond on my right to Edward and I continued to scream at them. Until I felt a hand on my shoulder I quickly turned around and saw Carlisle caring face, my face slowly calmed down. I looked back at the girl in my hands and handed her over to Jasper that was right next to me. I got up without any help and looked at the direction that the red head guy just ran off to. I suddenly dry sobbed on Carlisle's chest.
"Don't worry she'll be alright, it's ok" Carlisle whispered. I let go of Carlisle embrace and looked back at the direction.
"No Carlisle we will find her we will bring her home where she belongs" I whispered.
