I'm sorry if this chapter is not very good. I'm more of a fluff writer, so that will be coming. This chapter is in RPOV.
Previously…
"We need to talk."
Rosalie POV
"Yes," Carlisle agreed. "That would be for the best."
"Anyone want to fill us in on what we'll be talking about?" Emmett asked.
He was so stupid sometimes. "Emmett," I began. "Isn't it fairly obvious?"
He mulled this over for a second. "Nope. Not a clue." We rolled our eyes at him. "Wha-at? I really don't know." Idiot.
Alice started, "I'll give you 3 guesses and one hint per guess. The first hint is…..she's a girl."
"Rosie?"
"Nope. Next hint is that she likes Edward."
"Tanya?"
"No, this girl only likes him as a friend. But that is a pretty good guess. Last hint and last guess. She has a heartbeat."
We were silent for a moment while Emmett thought. He's really not the smartest person I know. As if to make it more obvious her heart sped then slowed. My guess was that she had nightmare and is just calming. "Um…the girl upstairs?"
"Very good, Emmett." I said as I sarcastically applauded.
"Only for you, babe." he replied. I rolled my eyes.
Edward cleared his throat. "If you're done, I'd like to return to the matter at hand. Let's get to the trivial things first, then work our way up. I can't read her mind. The only time I got remotely close was when I found her, and she was asleep then." There was a shocked silence. "Alice and Jasper. Can you get her?"
"I can, Edward. I already have. She was happy here." Alice answered. I smiled. I really like this little girl. She was sweet, and small, and human. Like the child I never had, only without the nighttime screaming. Edward smirked at that. Of course he'd been listening.
"I can, too, Edward. She feels admiration when she looks at us." Jasper conclude. "I wonder why you gift is being thwarted. That's never happened before, has it?"
"No.." his eyes glazed over like he was listening to something. "She's asleep. I can get only the gist of it. She's dreaming of us."
"She's happy." Jasper said. That was good. She was dreaming and she wasn't scared of us. She was happy. I smiled wider.
"Okay. Next is does anyone else want her to stay?" Carlisle asked. I nodded, as did everyone else. "Jasper, do you think you could handle it?"
Jasper answered. "Yes. It'll be hard at first. I should avoid her, for the first couple of weeks at least. Then maybe someone should be near when I'm by her."
"Yes, that's good. And you, Edward?" Carlisle wondered.
"I should be able to, as long as she's very far or very close."
"Very close? Wouldn't that be more difficult?"
"No, I've actually found that when she's close, it's easier."
"That's strange." Carlisle figured. "Will anyone else have trouble?" I shook my head at the same time the others did. "Then I think we should keep her. Let's vote. Esme?"
"Yes, of course."
"Alice?"
"Absolutely!"
"Jasper?"
"It's what Alice wants."
"Rosalie?"
I hadn't noticed I was up next. "Yeah. She could be like my daughter. And Esme's, too."
"Emmett?"
"Hell, yes! I've always wanted a little sister!"
"Edward?"
"Yes. It's dangerous, though. We'll need to hunt a lot more often."
"We will." Carlisle turned to face us all. "It looks like we've got ourselves a new family member."
"Wait!" Jasper exclaimed. "The Volturi! We'll need to keep her out of their knowledge."
"Yes," Edward pondered. "But they've never bothered us before, so I can't imagine why they would now."
"Okay. If you're sure."
"We've got Bella." Carlisle said, smiling. It was almost as wide as mine. "We need to move then. Jasper will get new papers."
Alice an up and hugged him. She was running around screaming, "YES!!!" She looked a lot like she did whenever we found a sale at the department store. Upstairs I heard a grumble and yawn, then Bella saying, "What's with the noise?"
"Alice!" I snapped. "She's waking up!"
"Oops. Sorry." she apologized.
"Hi Edward." Bella greeted from upstairs. "I'll be back in a few minutes. Just go downstairs." He said okay and came back down.
"Where's she going?" I asked.
He answered with one word. "Bathroom." I guess that makes sense. She was human after all.
