It's been a year since the incident against Bella. She is so beautiful she learned to walk and is annoying everyone but in a good way. The bond between Edward and her has become stronger. We are trying to get her to talk. Well everyone wants her to say there name it's funny to watch.
"Come on Bella you can say it. Alice, it's a quite easy name. Say Al-i-ce"
"No, Bella you want to say Emmett or Em is fine what is easy for you"
"Say Rosalie it's a hard name yes, but a beautiful one at that"
"Aw, you guys are overwhelming her. Ok say Jasper. Easy like Alice"
Edward grabbed her off the sofa from the torture her siblings were dwelling on her. She put her head on his chest and the sound was beautiful
"Edard" Bella was trying to speak
"OMG! Edward she said your name what the hell did you do to her, not fair" Alice was pissed she wanted to be the cool sibling, the most favored.
"Carlisle come down here" I called after him.
"I know I heard congrats Edward now try to get her to say dada" he said hopping over to Edward and Bella.
Carlisle took her into his arms a beautiful sight I sat back and looked at my family and couldn't be happier.
Still EPOV
Two wonderful years have past, with wonderful memories and good times. It's her birthday coming up, September 13 is approaching. Alice is going crazy on buying gifts for her. My sweet baby is going to be three and I can't believe it, it seems like yesterday the first time I held her in my arms.
"Emmett stop" Bella was running from Emmett and sought refuge behind Edwards's leg. She knew he would always protect her. Emmett ran into the table and that's when it happened.
Everything froze in it's place. Bella had her hands up to protect Emmett.
"What the he.." Emmett was about to curse, but I glared at him. He has trouble especially around little Bella.
"Uh Carlisle you might want to come in here" He walked into the room and was stunned at the sight that was before us.
Emmett was floating in the air and Bella giggling at him the first sign of her powers.
"She is three and she can make me freakin float, I have the coolest sister the world" Emmett was always the crazy one and by him saying this made Bella even giggle harder. It made her lose concentration and Emmett came falling back to earth, and on my coffee table.
We all looked at her in sock
"sorry" she said in a whisper
"Oh no honey, don't be sorry. How long have you been able to do this? We are not mad, we are very happy that you are showing us what you can do" Carlisle said to her picked her up for a hug. She just shrugged at his question. " I don't think she understand you Carlisle" I said to him. He just nodded.
I looked at Edward and he stiffened. "What's wrong Edward?" I asked him everyone looked at him
"There is something outside, I think they sensed Bella using her power" "I'm hungry mommy" when she said this it brought my attention back to her and the same panic that I had those years ago came flooding back. Alice got up and took Bella to the kitchen to make lunch.
"We need to do something, I can't have my daughter in danger every time I turn around" I said to the group. I thought maybe it was best if she wasn't with us. Maybe we were causing this danger.
"Don't you dare, if you do I will be so pissed at you, we can protect her more than her being with someone else" Alice came in the room she saw what I was about to do.
"What are you talking about Alice" Carlisle looked at her for answers; Edward saw her vision and growled at me.
"Don't you dare growl at me" I said in a harsh to Edward
"You can't give her away, I won't let you"
"She's my daughter I will do what is best for her"
"What do you mean give her away" Carlisle looked at me
"I think by having her with us while she is young we are putting her in more danger, because of who and what we are" I said while dry sobs took over my body. Our house was being watched my monsters who wanted to steal her away from me.
"She's right, I would rather see my daughter in hands of a human than in hands of some creature that wants to eat her and use her for her power" Carlisle said with his head hung low.
At that moment Bella came running into the room with flower all over her, she made everyone laugh. Making us wonder what in the world was she making.
"There is someone looking into the kitchen daddy" she said in a whisper, she knew she didn't have to speak loud for us to hear her.
Emmett and Jasper took off to the Kitchen and went into the back yard. A few minutes later he came back.
"they said they were curious to see if the stories were true about a half human, half vampire" said Emmett in a angry tone. "They ran, they didn't want to fight they are close by though and his mate said more will come, more will find us"
"It is settled then, we have to find a different place to find to keep her safe. She can't stay with us. As much as it pains me to have to give up my daughter, I want her safe" Carlisle was interrupted with a loud roar from Edward "Calm down Edward, where ever she goes we will follow, we will stay in the shadows to watch her, nothing is going to touch her, trust me" Carlisle tried to calm Edward down, but I also knew that the words he spoke was for the rest of us.
"We can not interfere with her life though until it is time"
"Bella sweetheart come her, we need to talk t her" she walked over to his waiting arms and sat in her fathers lap
"We need to go away for awhile Bella, but we can not take you with us until you are older" Bella let out a whimper "Is it because what I did to Emmett? I didn't mean to, I promise to never do it again" my baby was crying in his lap "No, no baby it's not your fault, there are just so bad people after us, and we can't take it if you got hurt. Remember what daddy told you about being a Vampire?" she nodded her head to him. "Where ever you go, you can not say any of this to anyone do you understand?" she nodded yet again. "We will come back for you, I promise you this" The room was sad and somber everyone didn't know what to say. The lose of their baby sister was to much to take in
"Then it is settled, we will celebrate her birthday today"
"I get my birthday today?!" Bella asked with wide eyes this made her very excited, she loved presents just like any normal child.
"Yes, my baby you do" Carlisle sounded like he would cry.
Everyone went to get the gifts they got for her.
"I got you a new stuffed cat, I know you needed a new one the other one was gross" Emmett handed her the beautiful cat and Bella clung to it like there was no tomorrow. There will be no tomorrow for us like this.
"I got you a jewelry box, every girl needs a place to put her nice jewelry" of course this gift was from Alice, she made sure she had all of the essentials to grow up to be a fashion fanatic lover.
Rose went over to her and sat in front of her and gave her a journal. " I can't write" Bella said to rose with a grin "When you get old enough, I want you to write in this journal everything that happens to you while we are gone. Good, bad, sad, happy thoughts whatever we miss you stick in here Bella" Rose said, she would be crying now in tears if she could.
Jasper gave her a book from his shelf for her to remember him; these were more of gifts for her to remember us till we come get her again. It pained my heart from the inside out.
Edward came over next. He sat down in front of her and she climbed on his lap. The love between them was evident.
"You know you're my Bella right?" He asked her and she looked down at there hands "Yes" she replied.
He pulls out a crystal heart and we all gasped at what he was giving to her. "This was my mothers, and I want you to wear this. To remember me, you are my Bella and nothing ever will change that. I promise you I am going to keep you safe and nothing will harm you" Bella had tears in her eyes and he handed her a CD "These are the songs I wrote for you, when you miss us, play it we will always be around you. We maybe not be around you in person, but look in your heart, and close your eyes and we will be right next to you. Bella just held on to him for dear life. She maybe three, but she is no stupid. She knew it will be a long time till she saw us again. Edward put the bracelet on her and Bella just stared at it. "Thank you all, it's beautiful" She whispered almost afraid of her voice as it cracked, my brave child.

I can't believe I have to do this, but I need to do it to keep her safe. I hope who ever gets her cherishes her everyday. The light that radiates off of her will lighten there life for a short period of time till we figure out what to do. Soon enough I will have her in my arms again.
I had a necklace made for her, and today is better than ever to give it to her.
"Come her baby" I held my hands out for her to come to me. "I got you this necklace a few weeks ago and today is a wonderful day to give it to you" I stuck it around her neck and she looked at it "What does it say?" "It says love is never far" she gave me a hug that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
"She I told you that jewelry box would come in handy!" Alice was trying to make everyone feel better and I'm happy for her trying to do that.
"You know everything Alice" Bella said while giggling
The next few hours were just about her, what ever she wanted she got. We played with her in the living room until she yawned.
"Come on its bed time for you" she complained as always, she hated to sleep when no one else had to. She was cute when she protested. Alice taught her, she sticks out one leg and puts her hands on her hips and taps her foot. She tries to have a face that Alice has when she is mad "I don't wanna sleep"
Everyone was on the floor laughing hysterically at her, this is the times I am going to miss, I am going to miss my only child growing up, but I am grateful for the time she has given us. I caved and let her stay up since it was her last night with us. Her feet never touched the ground everyone was sharing time with her, she had more energy than Alice did if that was possible.
The morning came and was the saddest time of my life, not to mention the hardest. Giving up my child for safety that is what kept going through my head. Edward was not happy about this one bit, she wound up being his singer, she was his and he was hers. The bond that they shared was stronger than what Esme and I held with her. Love like they shared does not go away.
We will get her back my son I promise you this if it is the last thing I do I thought to him, he just nodded his head.
We all stuffed into one car, Bella knew where we were going she was crying and jasper was feeling pain and it broke us all. The pain of something so innocent, she does not deserve this. She helped Jasper with his bloodlust by her blood. When he would get close to hurting something he would think of his sister and it would stop him. She brought this family to the closest bond that there ever could be. Such a small person had immense power. Oh no her powers.
"Bella, listen to daddy. You can not use your powers when you are not with us do you understand" I had to make sure she understand, it would be even
"Yes, daddy" she said with sadness in her voice and I so wish I could take it from her.
We arrived at the adoption agency; we told the lady that we only wanted a temporary home for her until we can get back. The lady thought we were crazy so I had to make up a story saying we were agents.
We kissed our little girl goodbye for the last time till we meet again.
"Don't leave me, I promise I'll be good. Edward please don't make them keep me hear, I'll be good" My little girl screamed at us and in a whisper she said "I'll be good" my child thought we were punishing her because she was bad. What kind of father am I, I am doing something so horrible. "Baby, no you are not bad, don't think that, we have to go to keep you safe, we don't want anything to happen to you. We will always be close, never alone and one day we will all be together again" I sobbed holding my child one last time and handed her over to the lady waiting to take her. We all got up and didn't look back it would be too hard to leave if we did.
