Once I could no longer hear her heart beating I knew I was alone again, alone with an infant child.

"You're save now Isabella," I told the young infant, picking her up from the back seat of the mangled car. I wasn't sure what else to do, other than get her out of the wreckage, away from danger.

As I looked down into her deep dark brown eyes, that looked more knowing about the world around her, something changed inside of me. I felt something in my heart. For the first time in my vampire life it felt like my lifeless heart was beating.

Isabella squirmed in my arms and I quickly pulled her closer to me, I wasn't sure the Wolf had gone yet. Just as I began to turn around I heard a snapping of a twig. The dog wasn't gone. I hugged Isabella closer to me, prepared to run if I had to.

I turned the whole way around ready for a giant werewolf standing behind me, what I wasn't ready for was Alice standing right behind me. She was so close to me I had almost stepped on top of her.

"Alice?" I asked when I saw the blank look on her face. She was having a vision. I tried to see way she was seeing but she was blocking me from it for some reason. This couldn't be good at all.

"Edward?" She said my name slowly. Too slow for a vampire.

"What is it Alice?" I asked her still holding Isabella close to my chest.

"Are we going to keep Bella?" Alice almost squealed with excitement. It was just like Alice to think of something like that in a time like this. The poor child had just lost her parents.

"What else could we do? I promised her mother I would keep her safe, and Alice you know I keep my promises," I told her truthfully. It was all true I did keep my promises, although I did leave out the main reason I decided she was staying. I think I might love her. I was instantly angry at myself. I couldn't be in love with a human! I could hurt her if not worse.

"Good. Well we better get her home and ready for the others to get home," She said before taking off towards the house again.

The others! I had completely forgotten about the others coming home tonight, I must truly be out of my mind. I never forgot things. It was nearly impossible to.

As I was running through the forest I wondered if Alice had seen this coming. Had she saw a vision about Bella?

We had been waiting for hours and the other still haven't arrived.

Bella was happily asleep in my arms when Alice told me she could hear their footsteps and before soon we were surrounded by my family.

Esme gazed down at my sweet angle with loving eyes and I knew what she wanted without hearing her thoughts.

"Here Esme," I offered Bella over to her and she took her lovingly. As a true mother would.

That is what she would be now. A true mother, something she had been wanting since she lost her baby son in her human life. Rest his poor little soul.

"How bad is it Alice?" I heard Jasper ask Alice. I knew it had something to do with her vision she had blocked from me because both her and Jasper were now blocking me.

"Very bed Jazz," Alice muttered leaning into her husband.

"She's so lovely Edward," Esme told me as she placed Bella back into my lap.

"Bella's her name," I told Esme I knew she was wondering it for awhile now.

"Just lovely," Esme muttered to herself.

"Edward my son, what are you plans for this child?" Carlisle my father asked me.

"I'm sure you already know my answer Carlisle," I said. Carlisle nodded.

"Well Esme it seems you've got a new room to decorate," He said to Esme. Her face lit up once he said that. I could tell without reading her thought that she was already planning Bella's room.

I realised Rosalie hadn't said anything since they got back. It was very unlike her, and she hadn't even come over to see Bella up close, something had to be wrong. I tried to just tune into her thoughts but she was blocking me, only a few words escaped her blocks. By the sound of what I could hear she was planning on leaving us.

Leaving the Cullen's.

I quickly shot Alice a look the we had made up about ten years ago, in case we ever needed to talk without the others hearing. Once I shot her the look she gassed into the future and from what I saw her see it wasn't pretty. Rose had left us, left Emmett. No one knew what to do. Not with themselves or with Emmett.

He was lost without her.

Alice knew she had to talk Rose out of it as well as I did. Before I knew it she and Rose were on their way to the mall in Rose's car.

"Where are they going?" Asked Jasper worried for Alice again, that man really need to learn Alice could take care of herself. The little devil she was.

"Shopping." Was all I replied.

Everyone left the living room to do their own thing and I was left with Bella on the couch. Before long she was asleep in my arms, where forever she would stay.
