LilyPOV

I picked at the plastic chair as I waited. I was scared. I really hoped my dad wasn't mad. I hoped Bella wouldn't be so mad she left. I peeked out the window looking for my grandma and grandpa but I couldn't see them. I jumped and sat back down when the door opened.

"Hi Lily. I'm Renee." She sat next to me holding out her hand so I shook it.

"How do you know my name?" I asked.

"Well I'm Bella's mother. And her dad is the man that brought you here."

"Am I in trouble?"

"Why would you be?"

"Because I followed the music into the trees. I didn't know my mom was out there. Grandma told me not to leave the yard but I didn't listen. I really don't want them mad at me."

"Oh sweetie no one is mad at you." She gave me a hug.

"Is my daddy on his way? Are you sure he's not mad? I really want to see Bella too."

"Yes they are both almost here. And I promise neither of them are mad at you."

"Dad!" I walked into the Forks police station with Edwards hand in mine. "Where is she?" I asked as he walked up to both of us.

"Shes in my office. She is ok. Maybe a little scared but not because of what happened. Mainly terrified shes in trouble." He placed a hand on Edwards arm. "We had the placed covered. She didn't even get Lily near the car before we grabbed them."

"Thank you. So much." They shook hands and we walked to my dads office. The moment Lily seen Edward she started crying.

"I'm sorry I didn't listen!" She blurted out.

"Oh don't your not in trouble. I'm not mad come here." She rushed into his arms. We all stood in silence until a sniffle came from not Lily, but Edward.

"Daddy why are you crying?" Lily asked. I almost said 'aw' as she placed her hands on his shoulders.

"I was just scared that's all." She moved her arms back around his neck squeezing tightly.

"Me too." She whispered. Edward stood up with Lily still holding him tightly.

"Edward I am so sorry I was making dinner and she was playing in the backyard. I took my eyes off her for a second. I am-"

"Mom please. We knew this was possible. Its not your fault." Edward handed me Lily and she held me just as tightly. Edward moved to hug his mom.

"Edward we need to discuss how things are going to be handled." My dad said looking terrible to interrupt the moment. Edward glanced at me and I nodded to leave the room knowing he didn't want to talk about it all in front of Lily.

"We can meet you at the house?" His mother suggested. He nodded kissing both Lily and I before saying goodbye.

"She's my daughter! Get your fucking hands off from her!" Jessica lunged towards me but was stopped by three officers. Edward and my father were by my side in seconds. "Get her away from her! Damn it! She's mine!" Jessica was dragged outside to an FBI car that waited for her.

We waited inside until the car carrying Jessica left.

"Will you lay with me?" Lily asked as I carried her to the room she was staying in.

"Of course." I smiled setting her down pulling the covers back. I grabbed her bag handing her pajamas.

It didn't take long for either of us to fall asleep but when I woke again it was dark and Edward was sitting in the corner chair. He was rocking back and forth staring at us.

"You ok?" I asked sitting up making sure not to disturb Lily.

"When Jessica told me she was pregnant I was floored. I was only in college. It wasn't how I planned things to happen. But I guess that how life goes huh?" I moved across the room to him and he pulled me onto his lap encasing me in his arms. "I didn't want her at least I didn't think I did." I knew he was speaking of Lily. "But that wasn't how I was raised. I knew to do the right thing." He took a deep breath. "The day she was born I knew I would love her no matter what. I wanted to give her anything she wanted. But it wasn't until you walked into my life that I learned it was just a father she wanted."

"She loves you. She always will." I reassured him.

"I know. But I want to be there for her. I don't want her to live like this."

"She won't Jessica won't be able to ever go near her or anyone in your family again." He nodded holding me tighter.


-SIX MONTHS LATER-

"Dad?" Lily said as we walked the park. We came her almost every week. Sometimes we went home but Wednesday's were our day. I left work early to spend time with her.

"Yea?"

"Do you love Bella?"

"Of course I do. Why?"

"Well because I want her to be my mom." I froze. Seven years old and she was asking for a mom. Or well asking for Bella. She was one hell of a little girl.

"Well I guess that would be up to her wouldn't it?" I laughed a little.

"Yea but not if you marry her."

"Where do you get this stuff from girl." I said picking her up over my shoulder tickling her.

"Stop!" She laughed loudly. "My friend! My friend!" Her friend told her? Now I was confused. I put her back down and moved towards the bench to sit down. She looked a little shy to keep talking but I pulled her to sit on my lap.

"Your friend told you to make Bella your mom?"

"No, Nessa said that her parents adopted her. So they are new ones. So because I don't have a mom. Couldn't Bella be my new one?"

"And that happens by us getting married?" I asked wanting to know her logic.

"I don't know. But Aunt Alice and Uncle Jasper are having a baby. And they are married right?" I nodded. "So to have a kid with someone you have to be married right?" I was not ready for the baby conversation so at this moment I agreed.

"I guess your right." I said with a small laugh. "So you think Bella and I should get married?" She nodded. "Well then I think I am going to need your help in asking her. You think you can help?" She grinned.

"Yes!"
