I own an iPhone 'cause my daddy buys me whatever I want. Jokes. But I do own an iPhone. I, however, do not own anything to do with Twilight.
FYI Bella isn't Edward's singer or whatever. She appeals to him as much as any normal human.
Chapter 2 : What's your name?
Edward's point of view:
I cradled the baby in my arms carefully and got out the car. Was Alice right? Could she be "my someone" as Alice had put it. It sounded ridiculous, she was only a baby, but Alice was right. I wasn't getting any older. That presented more problems. We couldn't move every few years like we did right now because that would be unfair to the baby but we couldn't stay in one place for to long. Maybe we could move when she finished preschool then middle school then lower high school then upper high school. That presented another problem. If she was "my someone" then she would outgrow me unless I changed her. I was loathe to change her though, she was so special and delicate.
'Edward! Are you going to stop staring at that friggin' baby and come inside or not!?!' Alice yelled at me. I motioned for her to be quiet but walked inside anyway. I knew Esme and Rosalie would freak out at the fact of being like mothers and Alice would want to spoil the baby rotten. Emmett would see her as a new play toy and Jasper would be paranoid about trying to kill her. Carlisle would be an amazing father but not over excited. He would just take on his role happily. Carlisle called everyone into the lounge and I did my best to shield the baby. Esme appeared first.
'What is it Carlisle?' She asked then gasped when she saw the baby in my arms. 'Oh! How adorable! Can I hold her? Please?' She asked and I reluctantly passed the baby over. 'Oh! She is beautiful! Where did you find her? What happened to her parents?' Esme gushed and the baby started to wake up. As soon as she opened her eyes she looked around for a few seconds and seeing me she started to grasp with her fists. Carlisle laughed.
'Haha! She likes Edward just as much as he likes her!' He laughed heartily and Esme passed the baby back to me. I held her on my side with one arm because she was old enough to support herself. The baby laughed and started to wave at me. I waved back and she smiled, her two front teeth already fully grown as well as several others.
'Where's momma? And dada?' She asked in such a clear voice we all froze for a second. She couldn't be one year old with a voice like that. Then Alice took her out my arms.
'Momma and dada had to go away for awhile, sweetie, and you're going to be staying with us.' Alice told her and the baby nodded seriously. 'Do you know what your name is?' She asked the baby and she nodded.
'Bella!' She cried happily and started to laugh. She was so sweet.
'Why the fuck can I hear a baby? If you guys are watching one of those weird family films again me and Rose are going back upstairs.' Emmett said as he came down the stairs. Then he caught sight of Bella. 'Woah! Jesus titty fucking Christ! Look Rose! It's un bébé!' He cried, pronouncing the last sentence with a French accent.
'Emmett! You can't swear in front of Bella! In fact you can't even swear in this house!' Esme yelled at him and he immediately looked sorry.
'Sorry mom. She just caught me by surprise.' He said guiltily. Bella laughed.
'Down! Down!' She cried and Alice put her on the floor. Bella laughed and immediately ran off. She ran straight to Emmett and put her hands up for him. He laughed.
'Hey! She likes me!' He picked her up and began to tickle her. Bella laughed and started to wriggle. Rose drifted to Emmett's side.
'What's all the noise about?' She looked at Emmett's arms. 'Oh! Look, Em! Isn't she gorgeous!' She squealed and Bella reached for her. Rosalie took her into her arms and balanced her with one arm, tickling her with the other hand. Bella screeched with laughter and Rosalie laughed too.
'Tickles! Tickles!' She screeched in her perfectly worded voice. Rosalie stopped and Bella buried her face into her chest. She sighed and started to settle again. Rosalie instantly tucked her into her arms slightly more carefully and Bella fell asleep properly. Everyone settled on the sofas except Alice who had gone upstairs to talk to Jasper.
'She's so cute! Are we going to keep her?' Rosalie asked, still holding Bella in her arms.
'Of course. You and Esme will be like her mother and I will be like her father. I can get her records from the hospital. I know her name is Isabella Swan so I can pull up her birth certificate etc. I'm sure you, Esme and Alice can go shopping for her tomorrow to get her some clothes, food, toys and anything else she needs like cots and prams. You won't be able to go to school until she starts school as well because she's going to be a full time job. In fact I'm going to run down to the shop right now and pick up some of the bare essentials.' Carlisle said and darted out the door into his car. I was staring at Bella when Rosalie noticed.
'Edward, are you staring at my boobs or the baby? Think about your answer carefully.' She warned me and I snorted.
'The baby, of course, Rosalie. I've made it clear that I don't like you in that way.' I told her and everyone else laughed lightly.

A year later. Bella is now two and a half.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bella was amazing. Everyday we found something out about her that we never knew before and everyone loved her equally. She had started calling Esme and Carlisle momma and dada and Rosalie, Alice, Jasper and Emmett were her brothers and sisters but she called them all by their full names. I didn't get a title but she did give me a nick-name (even though it was annoying as hell and if anyone else except Bella called me it I'd floor them) and I was the first person she ran to whenever she did something special or hurt herself or wanted something. I was her brother I guess, but closer to her than everyone else. I liked that.
She was intelligent for her age, she could speak perfectly and her sentence structure was almost as infallible as an adults. In fact she was intelligent enough to understand things like death as we had all found out about a week after we had found her.
*Flashback*
Bella was sitting in her high chair, feeding herself some weird baby food. She always fed herself because she never made a mess. She was perfectly well behaved. I was sitting on the other side of the table and everyone else was out hunting for the day. Suddenly she put down her spoon and looked at me with those serious chocolate brown eyes of hers.
'Momma and dada are dead aren't they?' She asked, enunciating each word perfectly. I knew what she meant but I didn't want to tell her.
'No. They just went out for the day. They'll be back soon.' I told her. She sighed and looked at me.
'No. I meant my real momma and dada. Renee and Charlie.' She said and I sighed.
'Yeah.' I said quietly but she picked up on it.
*Flashback over*
She was really independent from even that young age, feeding herself, sorting herself out. She rarely cried and she always behaved perfectly. She really was the perfect child. She was incredibly advanced mentally for her age as well, even at one year old she had the mentality of a three or four year old at least.
She didn't take crap from anyone either, especially Emmett who was always trying to get her to do stuff that got him into trouble. In fact, unless Emmett was doing what she told him to do then she didn't listen to him. It made us all laugh to see him down on her knees, begging her to say one swear word, and her hitting him over the head with some random block of plastic. The funniest moment was when Emmett was really annoying her one day out in the garden, telling her to go and trample on Esme's beloved flower bed, and she got really pissed with him and poked him in the eye with a stick. That made everyone laugh so much, even Emmett.
Even though she was so well behaved she wasn't boring at all. No, in fact everyday I was dragged on magical adventures to "Never ever land" or wherever peter pan lives and "the 7 dwarves cottage". Somehow these adventures always ended at my piano where she would beg me to play a song for her.
'Eddie! Eddie!' She cried, I had been supervising her eating breakfast and now she was finished.
'Yes Bella?' I asked her.
'Wanna get down! Wanna play catch!' She cried flailing her thin little arms around. I smiled and picked her up gently, setting her on the floor. A lot of two year olds were pudgy and short but Bella wasn't. She was well proportioned, thin but not too thin and tall. She had smooth silky brown hair that reached to under her shoulders and fell in loose natural curls. She ran off and soon returned with a little bouncy ball that had pictures of some random cartoon character across it. She threw the ball to me in a perfect style. She could only throw about a metre or so but her technique was amazing. I caught the ball and started to bounce it on the ground like a basket ball. Bella squealed and started to chase after me, trying and failing to get the ball off of me. She was laughing and decided to grab onto my leg. Even though I was a vampire it tripped me up and I landed heavily on the floor. It didn't hurt so I rolled onto my back. Bella sat on my chest and crossed her legs.
'Ha! I win! You failed!' She shouted, giggling. I sighed dramatically.
'I'm no good at this am I?' I asked and she shook her head, laughing. Emmett and Rosalie walked in then and looked at us.
'Well done Bella. You successfully tackled Edward.' He said slowly. I could see Bella getting more and more annoyed. 'Edward, how could you let a two year old trip you and pin you down?' He asked me. Bella stood up.
'Emmett! Shut up or I'll destroy some of your games!' She told him and Emmett back away worried.
'I'm sorry, Bella, Edward! Don't destroy my games please!' He cried and fell to his knees in front of Bella. 'I'll do anything!' He wailed and you could see Bella's mind ticking evilly.
'Fine. I won't destroy your games ... If ... You tell Carlisle that you love him and kiss him on the lips.' She said with a grin. This was like truth or dare just better. Emmett looked worried.
'No! I can't do that!' He cried and Rosalie was laughing delicately behind him.
'Fine!' Bella said stalking off to where Emmett kept his video games. 'Games it is then!' She said and Emmett started to panic.
'No! I'll do it! Don't destroy the video games!' He cried and a soon as Bella was back he glared at her playfully. Then he stood up. 'Carlisle!? Can you come down here please!' He cried. Carlisle would hear whether or not he was shouting but he did it for Bella's benefit. Carlisle appeared at the bottom of the stairs.
'Yes Emmett?' He asked and Emmett walked over to him. Bella was stuffing her fists into her mouth to stop herself giggling.
'You know I've always loved you right?' He asked and Carlisle looked at him suspiciously.
'Right...?' He said slowly. Emmett leaned over and kissed him on the lips. Carlisle froze then put his hands on Emmett's chest and pushed him away. 'Emmett. That was totally inappropriate in front of Bella! That was totally inappropriate in any situation! You are grounded for a month and I'm going to be destroying some of your video games!' He yelled. Emmett's jaw dropped.
'What!?! No way! That's so unfair! Bella made me do it!' He yelled. Carlisle looked at him.
'Oh yeah? Just like Bella made you set my books on fire and paint my Mercedes pink?' Carlisle asked. The funny thing was that Bella had made him do those things as well ...
'Yeah! Exactly like that!' Emmett cried. Rosalie picked Bella up and they both fell apart laughing. Carlisle walked back into the room with one of Emmett's boxes of video games. He dropped it on the floor in front of Emmett and put his foot through it, crushing the contents. Emmet gasped and Carlisle took out a match. He lit it and dropped it on top and the box which was in flames in a matter of seconds. I joined Rosalie and Bella laughing.
'Now go up to your room and don't come out for the next month except for meal times!' He yelled then stalked off back upstairs. I turned to him with a sly smile.
'Emmett, how could you let a two year old outsmart you?'
End of chapter. Did you like it? I was kinda bored when I had the idea and I decided to write it. I know it's really random but oh well. Next chapter up soon.
Like it? Love it? Hate it? Want me to suffer a painful death in hell? Let me know, R&R ;)
Smiles! Xoxo!!!
