Edward Point of View

Bella started to wake around seven, and Alice busted into the room and placed a pile of clothing on the foot of the bed. Bella's eyes widened, and I laughed.

"You really should get used to that." I jaw dropped and she picked up the clothing quickly, and hurried to the bathroom. Bella took awhile in the bathroom, and came out in black stretch suede pants. Suede on a four year old, only Alice. She had a light pink tank top on with a zebra on it, she was looking at it intently as she walked out of my bathroom. The shoes where white and black flats with pink trim, and she had on a black heart pendant around her neck. Alice came in and hustled her into a pink duffle coat.

"I'm taking you to the store, so we can get you lots of food that you like."

"I don't like broccoli." I laughed, she was so cute.

"Here," Alice said handing Bella a lip smackers, "So your lips don't get chapped." Bella put it on with the help of Alice and looked at me.

"Edward coming too?"

"No, Edward has to stay here, and help momma." Alice said.

"I'll be waiting for you here, okay Bella?" She nodded and Alice picked her up. She waved and bit her lip.

I walked downstairs and started to play my piano. Esme smiled as I played her favorite. "Edward you play beautifully," She said. "Have you ever thought of selling your songs?"

"Well, maybe, but I don't really think that I could. Would people actually buy them?"

"Of course." She smiled and patted my shoulder as she walked upstairs.

Carlisle and Esme came back down the stairs soon after she went up them. "So we are going to start schooling for her next week. We're going to try middle school but if she doesn't like it then we'll continue to school her at home. She'll make the decision if she wants to go to high school or not." I nodded.

"Why next week?" Rose asked.

"The books won't be shipped until next week, I got kindergarten, first and second. I'm pretty sure we'll go straight to second grade, and probably end up going to go to third before the regular school year is up." Esme said.

Jasper walked over and nodded at Carlisle and gave me a piece of paper, "I'll be in the next room so I'll be listening in and I'll be able to gauge her emotions." I nodded.

"So when are we doing this today?"

He nodded, "Right after Bella eats breakfast." Bella walked in the door with Alice walking after her hands full of grocery bags.

"Edward!" She hollered with a mouth full of pop-tart so it sounded like, "Eaawart!" I picked her up and kissed her forehead.

"Hope your happy she wouldn't saw anything at the store just pointed to thing she wanted. Which most weren't in my reaching range so I had to look like a freak and climb up the shelves." Alice ranted as she shoved things in the cabinets. I just smiled.

"Bella, Esme is going to start schooling you next week."

"Yay!" She clapped.

"Come on let's go to my room, I have to ask you some questions." She nodded and stuck her pointer finger in her mouth.

I sat her on my bed and sat in the floor next to her. "Bella do you like that we adopted you?"

"Yes. It's a lot better here then where I was I feel like I belong here."

"Is there anything that you don't like here?"

"No, there's a piano downstairs, I want to learn how to play." I smiled. For two reasons, one because when she said "piano" it sounded like "pian - toe". And because she wanted to learn how to play the thing I love most in this world.

"Does anyone in the family make you feel uncomfortable?"

"Not really, but the girl that took me to the store today talks a lot."

I opened my mouth to ask her the last question on the list when she spoke up. "Why do you guys like me? No one's ever liked me before. That's why was in the adoption place, and that's why no one before you guys adopted me."

"We like you because you're you, your different then everybody else was in the adoption agency. You fit in more with us then all those other little kids did." She nodded her head down. I put my fingers under her chin and pulled her head up. She had tears in her eyes, and her lip quivered. "Don't you ever think that we don't love you. We may act strange, but we love you." She nodded again and wrapped her arms around my neck where she started to cry. I rubbed her back and rocked her softly until she fell asleep.

I gently laid her in my bed, where I'm pretty sure she'll be spending her sleeping hours here, and headed to Jasper.

"She didn't fee; depressed until she said that no one loved her."

"It took so much to not laugh when she said Alice talks to much, and this morning when they came home the image Alice had in her head of when she was climbing the shelves priceless. Everyone should be able to read minds."

"Why did you just get frustrated?"

"I can't get into her mind. She's blocking me, I know she's not doing it, because she doesn't know I can read minds, but it would be helpful if I could read her mind."

"I'll go tell Carlisle."

"I'm going to go hunt call me if she wakes up before I'm back." He nodded and I ran out into the woods.

So this may be really cheesy but when I wrote the part where Edward was telling her that the family loved her, "She will be Loved" by Maroon 5 was playing in my head. How did you guys like the new chapter? Review it please. And her outfit is in my profile.
