Okay, I just want to say thank you for all the reviews! This is my first fanfic, and first time ever trying to write a story. I really want to know your thoughts and ideas. Let me know if there is anything I can improve on and if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask. I'm not very good at grammer so please forgive me if I make any mistakes. Also, I have a question for everyone. You know how Edward can't hear Bella's thoughts, when should he discover that? I guess what I'm trying to ask is when do kids start forming thoughts? Do you guys think that babies have a picture of what they want in their head or do you think they start thinking when they start talking?

Anyways, here is the second chapter. The third is going to take a bit longer to come up, only because I have finals and then I have to pack all my stuff and move. So enjoy!!

Stephenie Meyer is the genius who owns the characters, not me.

You're Safe Now

Chapter 2

Edward quickly grabbed the baby's car seat and diaper bag. He quickly liked through the man's wallet and the woman's purse and found two drivers licenses with the names Charlie Swan and Renee Swan, and a picture that the small family had taken together with the names Charlie, Renee, and Isabella written on the back. He put the picture in his pocket and decided that he would give it to Isabella so that she would have something of her parents.

Edward ran over to his car with the baby and put her in her car seat in the back. The child's scent was intoxicating. He looked down at her and said,

"Mind over matter. Right Isabella? Mind over matter."

She looked at him with big brown eyes and smiled. Edward's non-beating heart melted. He would do anything for this little girl, even if he hadn't promised her father. He could withstand Isabella scent. He just had to remember how much tragedy this little girl had already been through, and how much he wanted her to be safe.

He got into the driver's seat and began the journey home.


Edward thought about what reactions his family would have when they saw Isabella. Esme would be glad to take care of the child and therefore so would Carlisle. He would do anything to make her happy. Rosalie might be angry at first. She would worry about the child. But he knew how much Rosalie longed to be a mother. She wanted children more than she wanted Emmett, and would willingly give him up if the choice was between motherhood and him. Alice would be….

Where was Alice? Hadn't she seen this happening? Why didn't she call him, or come running, or do something? And now that Edward thought about it, Alice had been keeping her thoughts more carefully guarded around him, but he had thought nothing of it. She knew that he would find this baby tonight. He was defiantly going to have a talk with her about this.

He made that mental note and resumed thinking of what the rest of his family's reactions would be. Alice would accept her, since she had known about Isabella. Jasper would be the most hesitant of them all. He was the newest to their "vegetarian" lifestyle. He would worry about his control. But Edward would trust him because Alice would.

By this time Edward arrived to their home. Edward looked back and saw that Isabella had fallen asleep. Her small lips had formed into a tiny pout. Edward chuckled to himself. It was just so darn cute! At that moment Alice came running out and flitted to his side.

"Let me see her! Let me see her! I have been waiting for this to happen for the past month and a half, and I have been dying to hold her."

"Alice why didn't you tell me that I was going to find a baby tonight?"

Alice answered smugly, "Because I didn't. Duh, Edward."

Edward rolled his eyes at her and said, "Alice, come on, tell me. Why didn't you tell me?"

"You had to make the decision on your own, Edward. If I had told you that you were going to find a baby on the road and promise that you would take of her you wouldn't have gone. And she would have died from the cold by now. Now, let me hold her"

Edward agreed and then got Isabella. He wouldn't let Alice hold her though, Isabella was asleep and Edward was afraid that Alice's cold arms would wake her.

When Edward got inside everyone was waiting for him around the table, they were all wondering what was going on and why they were waiting for Edward. Alice hadn't told them why they had to sit down and wait. Edward set Isabella on the table and simply stated, "She is why you are all here." Then Edward explained how he had found the wrecked car with her in it and had promised her dying father that he would do all in his power to keep her safe from harm and take care of her. When he said those words he looked down at the little girl and smiled gently. He cared about her more than anything.

Carlisle looked proudly at Edward. He was impressed by the man that Edward had become. This little girl is already an important part of his life and he's only had her for a couple of hours. I know that Esme wants the child, and so I want her to stay Edward. She will be like another daughter.

Esme smiled. I can't believe it. A baby that I can help take care of. She then directed her thoughts toward Edward; You really care for her don't you?

"Yes," Edward whispered, and then said, "Her scent calls to me more than anything in the world, but I won't ever let harm come to her."

Rosalie stood up and began pacing. "Isn't she in danger right now Edward? I mean she's in a house full of vampires! And how do you know that you can resist her blood Edward? What if she falls down and scrapes her knee? How do you know that you can control yourself?"

Edward quickly thought about that. He knew Rosalie was right, but he also knew that she already cared for Isabella. It was only her motherly instincts taking. Rosalie wanted Isabella to stay. She wanted to see this little girl grow up.

"I guess it is dangerous for her, but Rosalie, it was her father's last wish. I promised him, and I don't intend on breaking that promise."

That was all it took to persuade Rosalie, and consequently Emmett. She wanted to take care of Isabella and Emmett wanted her to be happy.

Jasper stood up. Edward could tell from his thoughts that he was worried about losing his control. One thing was certain; Jasper did not want to drink her blood. Jasper just wasn't sure he could control himself. Edward was about to say something, but Alice spoke before he could and stated, "You won't harm her Jasper. You've already subconsciously made that decision."

Jasper looked hesitantly at Alice and then at Isabella, "I don't know. I really do want her to stay, and I understand that you cannot break your word, but what if she does fall down and scrape her knee? How do know that I won't loose control of myself?"

Alice went to him and grabbed his hand, "Jasper, sweetheart, I would never let you hurt her. She and I are going to be best friends. It's going to be hard at times Jasper, but you won't kill her. I promise"

Jasper nodded and quickly embraced Alice.

Carlisle stood up and put his hands on the table, "Well I guess it's settled then. We will adopt Isabella and raise her."

Edward couldn't help himself, but he had a huge smile on his face.

Alice looked at him and said, "Okay now let me hold my baby sister, Edward. I have been waiting forever."

"Fine, but be careful. Remember to hold her head. And don't drop her. Don't wake her up either. Remember she's just a baby. She's very breakable." Edward would have continued telling Alice to be careful when Emmett interrupted.

" Jeez, Edward. When did you become an overprotective mom?"

Edward glared at him but was too consumed with thoughts about Isabella to reply. Alice, Rosalie, and Esme were already fussing about her and making plans.

"She is such a beautiful baby, and Isabella is such a beautiful name. We can turn that extra bedroom into her room." Esme said who was already making the plans for colors and decorations.

"She'll need a crib, toys and clothes. We will also have to get formula, bottles, binkies, and diapers." Alice said, happy to plan a shopping trip for her new little sister.

Edward just watched Isabella as the girls planned to get the house baby-proofed and decided what she needed. Carlisle softly chuckled at the look on Edward's face, but Emmett thought it was the funniest thing in the world.

"Man that little girl already has you wrapped around her finger, and she can't even talk yet. This is going to be so awesome!" Emmett walked over to the girls and holding his arms out said, "Now ladies, step aside and let me through so that I can hold my baby sister."
