So yeah that and just random little things have been pissing me off also I was waiting on reviews, greedy I know but I wanted to get closer to the number I got for the last chapter also another reason why this took so long is I was helping my little brother write an essay for school, kids grammar sucks but he's got an imagination it was pretty good. But I'm in a good mood I went shopping today and got deadly new converse and I replaced my old block of a phone (the one my Mam drove over) with one that's ten times better and we bought my sister clothes, finally got her out of those hideous tracksuits.

BELLAPOV
My eyes fluttered open and closed again, I was lying on something soft and nice.
My eyes opened again, I could see blurry shapes above me but I was too sleepy too make them out.
I blinked a few times, trying to get used to the light, it hurt my eyes and I just wanted to sleep.
I curled myself into a ball and turned on my side.
I thought back to last night.
I had gone downstairs looking for Edward; I wanted him to sing me to sleep like he usually did.
But I had heard sounds coming from a room. I went to the door and that's when I heard, Edward,
saying he didn't want me to stay.
That hurt, I need Edward, I love him, if Edward didn't need me, if he didn't want me I'd have nothing.
I'd sat on the huge stairs and cried.
I'd looked at everything I could see from that spot, the dark wood tables with glass vases and pretty colourful flowers, the polished wooden floors, the pretty art and this one picture with loads of graduation caps, I'd meant to ask the nice doctor about that.
The wooden doors and glass walls, the arches on either side of the stairs that lead to the kitchen where Esme had made me the yummy pasta, the large arch on the right hand side of the stairs that lead into the sitting room which I had a perfect view of from here.
On the left was the dark wood door, where they were. I liked this stairs it was huge, right in the centre of the hall across from the front door. It was winding, white marble that led off in two directions at the top, it was very fancy.
Beside the front door was a little stage with Edward's piano on it, his piano was very shiny.
Then the door had opened Edward was standing there staring at me, I couldn't stand it I didn't want him to see me cry. I ran.
I'd locked myself in this shiny looking yellow car, Edward followed me.
He begged me to come out, I wouldn't.
I can't really remember much, I was tired and upset but I remember Edward had smashed the car window, Alice had seemed mad.
Edward looked so upset I wanted to hug him. He told me why he wouldn't let me stay; he thought it was safer, Edward always said that.
He was wrong, I just knew it. I felt so much safer with Edward, he was even better then Eddie the Teddy.
I'd told Edward that if he didn't want me then I didn't want him. It was a lie.
He looked so sad I thought he was going to cry. I'd never seen Edward cry before.
But then he'd said I could stay, he said he loved me, that he wanted me to stay.
He wasn't lying, Edward can't lie to me.
I was going to get to stay with the Cullen's; I'd get to spend everyday with Edward.
I was going to have a family. Charlotte was wrong after all.
I didn't want to miss a single minute with the Cullens.
I blinked again; the blurry shapes were still there.
Finally I won the fight between me and my eyes.
Standing over me, inches from my face, was every single Cullen with the biggest grins I'd ever seen.
I screamed; they looked like clowns.
They jumped back and I froze, I hate clowns.
Edward was sitting on the edge of my bed, smiling.
I relaxed and smiled.
"Good morning", Alice chirped skipping over to me.
"Good morning", I yawned.
I looked around at the Cullen's they looked pretty today too but Edward always looked nice so maybe they did too, that made me sad I wanted to fit in, just once.
The nice doctor was standing with his arm around Esme, he was wearing light coloured clothes.
I wondered if I should start calling him daddy.
Esme was wearing a pretty light green summer dress like the women on TV who were always digging outside in the garden, and she was smiling.
Emmett was wearing a dark green hoody and jeans and had a football under one arm. His grin was the biggest of all, but he was the biggest anyway, I smiled, he was all ready for us to play soccer today.
Jasper was sitting in my rocking chair, the farthest away but he was smiling so that was ok. He always looked like he was in pain. He needed a hug.
Rosalie looked so pretty, a princess like in Cinderella, and her smile was nice too, it reminded me of my mom's, Esme's did too.
Alice was standing right beside me, bouncing up and down, I was a little afraid she'd get dizzy if she kept doing that. Alice scared me a little she reminded me of this little porcelain doll that used to be on the top shelve of my room in my house, I could never sleep it was always staring at me, planning something.
Then Alice smiled hugely, that smile was almost……..evil.
ROSALIEPOV
"Bella Barbie time", Alice shrilled, I winced.
Alice was jumping up and down clapping her hands.
"B….Bella Barbie time?", Bella asked nervously.
She turned and looked at Edward, almost pleading for help.
"Mmhmm, it's where I get to dress you up, isn't that fun?"
I had a feeling Bella didn't think so.
Bella was perfect, I'd always wanted a son but I wouldn't trade Bella for anything. She truly was my second chance.
My suspicions were confirmed when Bella lay back in bed and covered her head with the pretty little duvet I had picked specially for her, Alice had wanted pink.
"You can't make me", she cried, her voice muffled.
"We'll see about that", Alice huffed rolling up the sleeves of her crimson cardigan which were teamed with a white spaghetti strap and light blue boot leg jeans and black ankle boots.
"Bella it'll be easier if you just let her", Edward sighed.
She flipped back the covers, stuck her tongue out at Edward and ducked back under the covers.
"Bella you have to get changed. If you don't we can't play", Emmett said craftily.
Bella sighed and threw back the pristine white covers.
"Fine but I'm not wearing anything pink", she bargained, her chin jutting out stubbornly.
"Fine but you didn't say anything about frills", Alice said and proceeded to drag Bella out of bed.
"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo", Bella screamed, grasping at Edward to help her.
Edward sighed "We'll leave you ladies to it". He leaned forward and kissed Bella on the forehead.
She dropped her arms and pouted, bambi eyes and everything.
The men filed out slowly.
"I'll go too, you girls have fun", Esme said, smiling.
I turned to Bella who was now stretching while Alice tapped her foot impatiently.
"Are you ready to get dressed now Bella?", I asked.
Bella opened her mouth but was interrupted by Alice "Yes she is".
Alice grabbed Bella and hauled her past her colourful toy box, teddies, puzzles and toys to the left where the bathroom was.
We lead Bella in.
The bathroom was simple and had pale blue walls, cream tile floors with a pristine white sink, toilet and a rectangular shower/bath. There was a large mirror above the sink and a little yellow step so Bella could reach the sink.
There was strawberry scented shampoo and a small red toothbrush ready for Bella's use.
"Can you wash yourself Bella?", Alice chirped from the doorway, she was leaning against.
"Yeah, just not my hair", she said blushing.
"I'll help you and maybe Esme too", I offered.
"Esme", Alice called quietly.
In an instant Esme was there, standing beside Alice.
"I heard, I'd be happy to help".
Bella stepped onto the step in front of the sink. She poured some foul smelling bubble-gum flavoured toothpaste onto her toothbrush and began to rigorously brush her milky white baby teeth.
"Time for your bath", Alice said smiling, Bella just yawned in response.
She stripped herself of her pyjamas quickly as Esme ran the water for the bath.
"I'll go pick out some shoes for you to wear", Alice said and quietly closed the door after herself.
Bella stepped over to the bath and poked her foot into the water, she shrieked.
"Bella, Bella what's wrong?" I asked frantically.
Had she hurt herself? Was she ok?
Bella was jumping up and down holding her foot.
"Too hot, too hot", she squealed.
I sighed internally.
There was a knock on the door "Bella, Bella are you ok?", Edward called out. He sounded panicked.
"She's fine Edward, now go away", Alice called out and bustled in through the door.
I heard Edward sigh and footsteps on the stairs. He really did care about her.
I leaned forward and turned the cold tap.
We waited another minute, Esme and I sitting on the edge of the bath while Bella stood blushing. Alice disappeared but came back again not a moment later, her arms full.
"Toys", she squealed, dumping rubber ducks and animal shaped sponges into the bath.
Esme turned off the water and checked the temperature. "It's ok now Bella", I said smiling at her.
"Thank you", she replied eyeing the water suspiciously.
She sank into the water and sighed "this is really nice thank you".
What a sweet girl.
Esme smiled and instructed her to duck her head under the water.
She complied and then grinned "Can I play with the toys now?".
"You can play with the toys while I wash your hair", she smiled kindly.
Bella's mahogany hair was dyed black with the water, her little body was flushed pink and her eyes were excited.
"Can I shampoo her hair first?", I asked turning to Esme.
"Of course Rosalie, just be careful you don't get any in her eyes".
I shifted on the edge of the bath closer to Bella. I leaned forward and took the strawberry scented shampoo which I squeezed a generous amount out into my hand. I gently began to massage Bella's scalp while she played with a rubber duck.
"Look", she cried and squirmed while trying to show me the duck and splashing me with water in the meantime.
I just knew I'd have to get her back for that.
Bella's eyes went wide and her mouth formed an "o".
I narrowed my eyes and leaned towards her. I stretched out my hand and splashed her with a tidal wave of water.
She giggled and squirmed again.
We went on like that for a while splashing each other and laughing while Alice joined in until Esme managed to get Bella to settle down and took over washing her hair, just in case.
I sat on the toilet and pulled faces at Bella.
Eventually we were finished and wrapped Bella in a fluffy pink towel.
Suddenly Alice shrieked "Oh my god, I completely forgot to get Bella's outfit ready.
Bella started giggling until Alice shut her up by saying "Don't look so smug now you'll have to help.
Alice pulled Bella's pyjamas back on her and dragged her to the next door.
"And this is your wardrobe", Alice said waving her arms like the girls on those magic shows.
She reached her hand out and swung the door open "Voila".
It was huge, almost the same size as Bella's bedroom, or at least from what I could see, it easily could have been bigger. How much clothes did one six year old need?
It was confusing too, there were too many isles to count and racks upon racks, the wall seemed to be made entirely of shelves and drawers.
"Ok so we need something cute but casual, something presentable but that she can play in", Alice said tapping her chin with her forefinger.
"I think we should split up", she decided. We stood gaping at her.
Bella sighed and headed off to the right, I contemplated following her but this place couldn't be that big, could it?
I filed through racks and opened drawers but couldn't pick a single thing; everything was so cute and would look adorable on Bella.
Esme had said she was going to go look for Bella and I had promised to keep an eye out. She had probably found her already.
I thought instead of all the things I wanted to do with Bella giving her a bath had been fun, maybe doing her hair and playing games together, I could get Esme to teach me to cook and we could all bake things together.
I was broken from my reverie by a sobbing sound. What was that?
ESMEPOV
I had been looking for Bella now for ten minutes and I still hadn't found her, this place was huge.
I was really starting to worry.
Had I really just lost a six year old, in a wardrobe?
I turned towards another isle when I heard something. It sounded like crying.
I followed the sound till I came to a ridiculously furry section of the wardrobe.
I stepped through a rack of fur coats and curled in a ball, sobbing against her knees was Bella.
I think a little part of my heart shattered seeing her so alone and desolate.
I hated seeing any of my children so upset.
I knelt down beside her and reached a hand out to stroke her hair.
"Are you ok Bella?", I asked.
She looked up; her cheeks were tear stained and her eyes were red.
Suddenly she threw her arms around me and hugged me as tightly as her little body would allow.
I held her close to me and kissed her cheek softly.
"I……I got lost, I couldn't find anyone I……I thought you'd left without me", she admitted still sobbing into my dress.
I pulled back and looked directly into her eyes, something that would usually terrify most humans.
"Listen to me Bella, we will never leave you behind, you are family now".
How could she think that? We truly loved Bella.
She nodded numbly. I pulled her up into my arms and eventually found my way out.
I met Rosalie at the door; she was staring at her feet while Edward paced anxiously beside her.
"Oh god there you are", he exclaimed with relief.
He stepped forward and took Bella, swinging her into his arms.
"Esme I'm sor….." Rosalie began but I cut her off. "Don't its fine Rosalie it's my own fault I never should have agreed to Alice doing the wardrobe". I had known that was a bad idea from the start but I had been so excited about Bella coming I had just let her that and Alice was a force to be reckoned with.
"Don't silly, it wasn't anyone's fault" Bella said from Edwards's arms where she was currently being crushed in a hug.
"Don't ever do that to me again, you hear me", Edward said sternly. Bella merely nodded.
Then Alice skipped out squealing "Oh my God I found the perfect outfit".
She looked from Edward and Bella to me to Rose and back to Edward and Bella again.
"What's with you guys?".
Edward shook his head and handed Bella to Rose "Hurry up and get her dressed and don't let her back in there again", he ordered and with a quick kiss to Bella's forehead left.
"He is soooooooooo weird sometimes", Alice said before whipping an outfit out of what seemed like thin air.
It was a pair of dark denim jeans, white trainers, a plain blue top and a white and pink hello kitty hoody.
We changed Bella quickly and Rosalie gently brushed through Bella's hair and plaited it in a French braid.
I held Bella's hand as we made it down the stairs, Rosalie followed behind while Alice skipped ahead.
We walked in silence to the living room where the men were sitting on the cream couch and Alice instructed Bella to twirl. Bella made a face but complied.
"You look lovely sweetie", Edward said while picking her up.
I watched as Bella squealed and giggled while Edward tickled her.
I smiled to myself. Edward seemed so carefree with Bella so different to his usual serious, detached demeanour.
"You ready to play Bella?", Emmett asked eagerly, bouncing the ball against the wall.
"Emmett stop that and Bella can't play till she's had breakfast", I said while inspecting the wall for any dents. That boy.
"Righto", Emmett saluted. He dropped the ball, grabbed Bella from Edward, slung her over his shoulder and marched into the kitchen while Bella kicked and punched any part of him she could reach.
He dumped her down in the stool and stepped back, nodding his head with pride.
Bella huffed and crossed her arms pouting.
Edward arrived in the kitchen at that moment, reached out and slapped Emmett in the back of the head.
"Hey", Emmett yelled hitting Edward back.
Bella stood up in the stool, stretched up as far as she could go and slapped Emmett "Don't hit Edward", she yelled at Emmett, crossing her arms again.
Everything was quiet for the moment until Emmett suddenly started barking with laughter. Bella leaned forward and slapped him again
"Don't laugh at me", she pouted.
"No hitting each other", I scolded but I didn't really mean it they'd never really hurt each other and it was adorable seeing someone as small as Bella slap someone as big as Emmett.
"What would you like for breakfast?", Carlisle asked.
"Emm…….. Cereal?", she said biting her lip.
I handed Bella a box of fruit loops which she poured into a bowl complete with milk and a spoon.
Edward stepped forward and lifted Bella off the stool, sat down and then placed Bella on his lap so she could reach her cereal.
She finished quickly while the rest of the family chatted about their plans for the day and I cleaned up while Edward lifted Bella down from the stool.
JASPERPOV
"Now can we play?" Emmett whined.
Bella looked up at Esme with big puppy dog eyes, Emmett joined suit, but merely looked pathetic.
Esme smiled sweetly at Bella and nodded but just rolled her eyes at Emmett.
"Damn it Bella it's not working how do you do that", Emmett asked pouting.
Bella giggled while Edward raised his hand and slapped Emmett in the back of the head, again.
Emmett rubbed his head and raised his hand to reciprocate when Bella with one hand on her hip and the other rose towards Emmett's head.
He wasn't really hurt, Edward hadn't really hit him that hard, he wasn't even offended he was just in a playful mood.
"Don't even think about it", she growled her chin jutting out stubbornly.
Edward laughed and wrapped his arms around Bella's tiny frame and lifted her into his arms, where she wrapped her little arms around his neck.
They were both so content, like life couldn't possibly get any better, or death depending which one you were talking about.
"And I thought I was supposed to protect you", Edward joked.
"You kids go play", Esme said turning back to the cupboard where she proceeded to take out flour and sugar and other disgusting things humans like to eat.
I lead them to the back door where Rose helped Bella put on her coat.
"Come on I want to play", Emmett whined again.
"Can we play soccer today?", Bella asked peering up at my youngest brother.
"ye….", he began but was cut off by my darling wife "Of course Bella, just do not get your outfit dirty.
I sighed of course that's what my Alice would be concerned about, clothes.
Bella stuck her tongue out at Alice and marched out the door followed by Emmett, Edward and myself.
"So teams?", I said.
"I want to be with Jazzy", Bella announced. I stared down at the little girl hugging my knee. Had she really just given me a nickname? Only Alice had ever called me Jazzy and that was usually when we were………….
"Jasper", Edward warned steering my thoughts back onto their previous path.
Strangely I liked that Bella had given me a nickname. It made me feel more like her brother. It made me feel…….. closer to her somehow.
"I'd love to be on your team Bella", I said squatting down beside my new favourite sister. Then she did a strange, unexpected thing. She threw her arms around my neck, giggled and kissed my cheek sweetly.
And yet even at this close proximity there was no desire to take her blood, it seemed my love somehow outweighed my often minimal control.
"Mwaha you fool now I have the mind reader", Emmett cackled. I heard Alice giggle in the background.
"Yeah but Bella's small and he can't read her mind", I said.
He looked stumped at that. "Get started will you", Rosalie called from the steps of the back door where her and Alice were sitting.
"We'll start", Bella stated.
"Hey that's no fair", Emmett complained to Edward.
Bella looked up at Edward with a pout and big round bambi eyes. "Aw Emmett come on let them go first", Edward said after unluckily happening to glance down at Bella.
Emmett passed the ball to Bella muttering something about it being unfair and needing to get Bella to teach him something. He's a goof.
Bella started by passing the ball to me I headed for the opposite goals which were marked by two sweaters that were as Alice put it 'so yesterday', literally.
However Emmett tackled me to the ground and stole the ball. Bella however being the cunning little thing she is snuck through Emmett's legs and took the ball, she ran as fast as she could, which wasn't very fast. Her legs were very short.
I couldn't help the fit of giggles, which I had a feeling were brought on by the two non participating ladies, when Edward dove forward, grabbed Bella's foot and tugged, she fell to the floor luckily not hurt thanks to Edward wrapping an arm around her waist, they both laughed together as they fell.
Emmett ran to them and I thought he was going to help them up when instead he stole the ball and ran for the goals.
"Jazzy stop him", Bella yelled at me, astounded that I could just sit there in the middle of our make shift field, with my legs crossed watching.
I sighed, slowly stood and casually walked towards Emmett who just stood there watching me.
"Heya Jasper", the big idiot called waving at me.
"Heya", I responded lethargically I bent down beside him picked up the ball in my hands and continued on to the goals.
Emmett was still waving at me when he realised I had taken the ball a good five minutes later, only after I scored though.
Our audience was howling with laughter by that stage.
"My kick out", Emmett said. He barely kicked it and then just proceeded on with the ball to my goals. By then he was beside Bella and Edward who had stood up. Edward inconspicuously stuck out his foot, tripped Emmett his own team mate and nudged the ball to Bella, winking at her.
Bella ran to the goals while Emmett struggled to get up and stop her as he was being pinned down by Edward's foot.
"I SCORED! I SCORED!", Bella screamed jumping up and down.
I looked to the sidelines where Alice and Rosalie were cheering, wearing cheerleading outfits complete with pompoms. Since when had they been wearing those? Alice.
"Go Bella! Go Bella!", they cheered.
I shook my head and passed the ball, which Bella had just passed me from the goals, to Edward, who had finally let Emmett stand up.
"Next goal decides the winner", Emmett said.
I shrugged and allowed it.
Edward gave a quick wink to Bella and kicked the ball straight into the goals.
"We win! We win!", Emmett screamed, threw his shirt over his head and ran around like a demented chicken waving his arms about.
"Eh…. Emmett", Edward called out.
Emmett halted his little happy dance, pulled down his shirt and looked up at Edward. "What?".
"That was an own goal".
Emmett raised his hands to his head, covered his face and fell to his knees. "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo".
"YAY!", I heard the girls cheer. "Give us a B, give us an E…………."
We all turned to stare at them and they stopped mid way.
I felt a tugging on my trouser leg. I looked down to see Bella staring up at me "Jazzy, why do they look so funny?".
We all burst into laughter, except the girls who were frowning and Bella who just looked confused.
I smiled at Bella and turned back to Rosalie and Alice, who were now wearing there normal clothes. I blinked, I was losing it.
"Come on kids I have something for Bella", Esme called from the back door. It was like one of those scenes off of those bad commercials that depicted the impossibly perfect life. With kids playing outside and the mother coming to the backdoor with a tray of lemonade, which Esme was now holding.
I wasn't complaining though for once it was nice to get to be even a little normal. Even if that normal was like something out of the Stepford wives.
We trekked into the kitchen where Esme had laid out a large plate of chocolate chip cookies and placed the tray she was holding beside it.
Bella's eyes got round at the sight and her stomach growled.
Rosalie laughed and sat down in one of the stools. Bella looked up at Rosalie and did her bambi eyes again.
"Can I sit on your lap so I can eat some cookies", she asked Rosalie sweetly.
I wasn't quite expecting the onslaught of emotion from Rosalie though I had been expecting some.
"Of course you can Bella".
She swooped down, picked up Bella and placed her gently in her lap.
She petted Bella's hair affectionately while Bella ate her cookies and drank her lemonade.
"Thank you Esme", Bella said smiling up at the woman who was fast becoming a mother figure to her.
"It was my pleasure dear", Esme replied and kissed Bella gently on the cheek.
When Bella was finally finished Carlisle entered the room.
"A lady from the orphanage called we need to go in and sign the adoption papers and pick up Bella's things tomorrow.
Bella sighed "I have to say goodbye to all my friends don't I?".
"Yep but don't worry Bella I'll be your friend", Alice said grinning hugely.
"I'd like that", Bella said snuggling back into Rosalie whose emotions were flooded with adoration.
"Do you want someone to come with you Bella?", Carlisle asked.
"Will you and Edward come with me?".
"Of course Bella", Edward said smoothing back her hair from her eyes.
"So what now?", Alice asked.
"Eh I have no idea", I said uncertainly.
"Ooh I know……………let's have a tea party", Alice squealed.
"Oh my god Alice you are a genius", said…. Emmett?
"Emm……. I guess we could", Bella said uncertainly.
Bella looked up at Edward silently asking him for help, who merely laughed and said "Not a chance Bella, you're on your own this time", and with that he kissed Bella's cheek and headed for the door. Moments later we heard the sound of music drifting from the piano.
"Eh……..I have to go and…………..", Rosalie looked around aimlessly just begging for escape "fix my car, yeah that's it fix my car".
"But baby you're cars not broken", Emmett informed her. He looked confused.
"It is now", she yelled already out the door, while I was inconspicuously edging closer and closer to the door. Just as Alice turned to look at me I shot out the door. Eager for escape.
ALICEPOV
Oh my god, I'd just been ditched and by my own husband, no less. He was going to pay.
"Come on Bella we'll show them what it's like to have real fun".
"Yeah", Emmett agreed.
Bella sighed and allowed Emmett to swing her into his arms.
We walked through the hall to the stairs, ignoring Edward's smirk.
We mounted the stairs and proceeded to Bella's room where nestled in the corner, so snugly it might have escaped your notice, was a little round yellow table with four matching chairs, that was all set up for the perfect tea party.
Bella picked Eddie up off the bed and nestled him into one of the chairs while I sat down.
Then a vision came to me. Emmett sitting down in one of the little chairs, and it snapped right in half. I quickly pulled the chair out from under him just as he was about to sit. He fell back with a thud and Bella giggled.
"Emmett you look so silly", she informed him, grinning.
"You sit on the floor, you'll break the chair", I instructed my brother.
He nodded. Then suddenly jumped up again, shaking the whole table.
"I know, I'll be the butler", Emmett exclaimed.
Bella giggled as Emmett picked up the little white plastic teapot with pink flowers in his huge hand and asked Bella if she would like some tea in an obnoxiously posh voice.
Bella nodded and Emmett pretended to pour tea into her cup which she was holding up in her chubby little hands. He turned to me and did the same again. He then turned to Eddie "Would you like some tea Eddie?", he asked in that same posh accent.
Bella and I giggled together at the sight.
Emmett stood there staring at the teddy as if waiting for an answer. "Bella your teddy's rude. He won't answer me", Emmett whined.
Bella rocked back and forward shaking with laughter and I joined her.
Eddie would you like some tea?", Emmett tried again.
No response. So he tried again, and again. By now tears were streaming down Bella's face.
Emmett growled in frustration "That's it I'll only ask once more and I'd better get an answer this time, Eddie, would you like some tea?", Emmett asked slowly gritting his teeth. No response.
Emmett snarled, reached a hand out and slapped Eddie who landed in a flop on Bella's bed.
Bella gasped and stumbled her way over to the bed. She picked Eddie up, checked for any injuries and in seeing there were none hugged him tightly to her.
She looked up at Emmett her wide eyes brimming with tears "how could you? How could you hurt Eddie?" she asked cradling the teddy bear to her chest.
It was adorable but somehow just made me laugh harder.
Emmett suddenly threw himself onto the floor at Bella's feet and wrapped his enormous arms around Bella's petite legs.
"Please Bella I'm sorry, I'm so sorry…. But he wouldn't answer, he just wouldn't answer" he dry sobbed into Bella's legs.
"Alright Emmett I think she forgives you", Edward said dryly from the doorway.
Emmett stood up as the rest of the family came in.
"It's time for bed Bella dear", Esme said quietly.
Bella nodded and picked up the pyjamas I had laid out this morning while Bella was having her bath.
She slipped into the bathroom and changed quickly.
She came out only a moment later still clutching Eddie.
She walked towards the bed and stuck her tongue out at Emmett who was giving Eddie the evil eye.
She climbed into bed and yawned.
"Are you ready to sleep sweetie?", Edward asked.
"Yep". "You don't need us to act out another bedtime story?", Jasper asked.
"No not tonight, maybe tomorrow".
"Ok sweetheart goodnight", Edward said leaning forward and kissing Bella's head. He walked to the door and waited for us to finish saying goodnight.
I kissed Bella's cheek and joined Edward at the door.
We watched as everybody said there individual goodnights to Bella.
When we were finally finished Edward turned on Bella's nightlight and flipped off the over head light.
Everybody parted ways and headed towards their rooms.
Somehow the coming of an innocent six year old had managed to complete our families in ways we'd never thought was needed.
Our day with Bella had been more fulfilling then all the blood I could imagine and even without the help of my power I could tell there were many more such days to come.
Review guys, I'm giving out free shamrock.
Heya so yeah here it is this is a long one to make up for leaving you hanging. I liked the soccer game but I thought the end needed some work but I hope you like it anyway. Also I'm tired and this was a hard one to right I find fluff harder then cliff hangers but that's kinda obvious seeing how many cliffys there are in this story this chapter took 4 days to write that's how hard it was.
And HAPPY 'S DAY yahoo did you guys do anything, I live in Ireland in case you didn't know so it's a pretty big deal. Most of my friends went out drinking but I'm a good girl so I don't drink……. Yet :) hahahaha
Anyway so I need ideas. I need to know do you want me to put in something exciting or just more fluff for a little while. And if it is fluff I need ideas for what they should do as an activity and if you want Bella to bond specifically with someone please tell what they should do while bonding and if you want something exciting tell me what.
One more thing just to say if you're starting to get bored with his story, please don't give up on me there is plenty more to come.
Ok so I know your all thinking it's time I shut up but it's just one more thing. I got 64 reviews for the last chapter which was the same number as chapter 9 thank you guys I was so thrilled but I'm greedy by nature so maybe 70 please no pressure seriously no pressure.
REVIEW please!!!
