This is a story from my wild imagination that uses the awesome characters from Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. Stephanie Meyer owns The Twilight Saga and all its true glory.

CHAPTER 6: Death in the Family

"But that's where she got hurt Carlisle, I can't let her go back."

"I'll talk to Esme."

"Really? You would do that? What about the others?"

"I'll take care of it, you go with Bella. Don't tell her anything yet."

CHAPTER 7: New Member in the Family

Narrator's POV

Edward went to Bella's room and kept her company while he waited for Carlisle to return.

Meanwhile Carlisle had everyone meat him at the Cullen Residence.

Carlisle's POV

"Hey sweat heart, how are you?" I asked.

"I'm fine thank you. Why are you home so early?" Esme answered.

"We need to talk with everyone." I responded and with that Jasper, Alice, Emmett and Rose were all in the kitchen. "As you know Bella is Edward's singer, and has not left her side for more than ten minutes since the earthquake. However there was a shooting between some drug dealers and the police. Charlie was hit and did not survive." Everyone took an unnecessary breath. "Edward doesn't want her to go back to her mom, step-dad, and brother because that's where someone…hurt her."

"What?" Esme exclaimed.

"Yeah she hasn't let anyone touch her in years, until now and she hadn't spoken at normal volume in about the same amount of time until today." I continued, "I was hoping that maybe she could come live here with us. It would make Edward very happy. Not to mention that he's going to tell her about us anyways so things here wouldn't change much."

"Why is he going to tell her about us?" Rose exclaimed.

"Because in order to keep her safe he has had to keep her warm, move quickly and well he loves her. Also she may go back into her quiet phase I because of this. Edward said that Charlie had hugged her for the first time in years yesterday. It's going to affect her a lot."

"She needs our help and I can see were all going to be great friends." Alice chimed in.

"Then lets vote" Emmett said.

"Yes" –Alice

"Yes"- Jasper

"Yes"- Esme

"Double yes"- I said in name of Edward and my self

"Yes"- Emmett

"If Edward really loves her, yes"- Rose finished the voting.

"Ok, then I think we should all go to the hospital and break the news to Bella." I said as was heading toward the door.

Edward's POV

When I went back to Bella's room I tried to hide my face from her, until I was able to put a smile on my face. She was watching TV and when she saw me come in she immediately had a huge smile on her face.

"You know it's getting late right?" She asked as I sat in a chair next to her.

"Yes I do actually." I responded as I got her hand.

"And did you know I was starting to get cold again?" she added in a lower voice but not quite a whisper.

"Oh really?" I chuckled as I stood up and sat next to her on the bed, "I can fix that." She giggled and snuggled into my side.

"Thank you Edward, for everything." She said as she drifted to sleep.

Shortly after she was asleep my entire family came into the room.

"Hey guys" I whispered. While I heard Emmett thinking Dam it bro, already getting some action. I growled at him and Bella curled into me even more which made it so that she was just about sitting on my lap, which I didn't mind at all, but I knew that if she woke up, and saw my entire family watching her, she would be so embarrassed about it. "Go outside for a few minutes yeah. I'll wake her up." The nodded and left the room. As they left Carlisle replayed the voting they had so I could see what was going to happen. "Thanks." I whispered after them as I began to wake Bella. "Bella, Bella wake up."

She stirred and mumbled "Five more minutes" into my chest and I couldn't help but love the way it felt.

"Bella, please I need you to wake up," I said into her ear. She turned her face toward my voice and opened her eyes, we ended up being centimeters apart. However this time she began the kiss. We must have been kissing for a while because I heard Carlisle clear his throat. We broke apart and she flushed a deep red. Emmet laughed at her and earned a slap in the head from Rose.

"Bella, I need to speak with you about a serious matter." Carlisle began; I pulled Bella closer and began to rub her back.

She looked at me then at my family, "What's going on?"

"Bella," Carlisle continued, "There was a shooting between some drug dealers and some police officers. Charlie was wounded and brought here, to the emergency room. I did everything I could but…" Bella was crying into my shoulder, "He didn't make it Bella. I'm so sorry."

Bella began to hyperventilate "Edward don't let them take me, please don't let them take me back."

"Bella it's okay you don't have to go anywhere you don't want to" I assured her.

"Bella you can stay here in the hospital for a day or two more but we wanted to ask you if you would like to come stay with us when I discharged you." Carlisle added.

Bella did a double take, "You would allow me into your home?…"

But I interrupted, "and into our family." She looked at me for a long time and I just looked right back into those chocolate brown eyes.

"I think I would like that," she whispered as she hugged me and began to cry again.

"I'll stay with you tonight if you want" I told her

She mumbled yes into my neck between sobs and all I could do was rub her back.

Bella's POV

When I heard Charlie hadn't made it, I felt horrible not only because my father was dead but because I couldn't go back to Phoenix. I couldn't go back to the abuse.

Narrator's POV

Edward comforted Bella all night long; she finally fell asleep as the sun began to rise.

The Cullens left shortly after Edward asked Bella if she wanted him to stay with her, they went back to their house and began to prepare a room for her; near Edward's room.
