Ok so I'm not going to bore you with the thanks for this chapter because I'm in a hurry to get this written and posted. But I will put up extra thanks in the next chapter.

Anyway if you've read the authors note I put up you'll know that IRELAND WON THE GRAND SLAM something we haven't done in 61 years seriously this is huge news because pretty much everyone over here loves rugby and the grand slam is a seriously big deal to win.

Anyway so yeah that's why I'm in such a good mood and why I'm updating before I was planning but you guys are going to have to do some serious reviewing.

So I'm dedicating this chapter to the Irish Rugby team because they deserve it even if they don't know that I'm dedicating this to them.

Random point of interest: This chapter was written while still cheering over Ireland winning the grand slam.

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight but Ireland just won the grand slam so that kinda consoles me (seriously I'm going to be going on about this forever).

EMMETTPOV

I was sitting at the kitchen island still waiting on Rose to finish dressing Bella, seriously how long did it take to get one six year old dressed?

"Emmett stop grumbling", Edward said staring at the stairs from his position by the door.

I stuck my tongue out at him and stood up.

My Rosie was up there being held captive by a six year old and my sister the evil pixie/ garden gnome.

I suddenly envisioned myself as the knight in shining armour who bravely saves my princess, Rosie from tiny fire breathing dragons.

I was abruptly pulled from my daydream by Edward. "Really Emmett sometimes I worry about you", he said shaking his head.

I pushed my bottom lip out and tried those doe eyes again. Edward rolled his eyes at me "Face it Emmett you'll never be able to do it".

I pouted again he was so mean; I should tell Esme she'd care.

Finally the girls arrived, trekking down the stairs followed by Jasper, Esme and Carlisle.

"Yah", I cried jumping up from my seat. "Finally we can play".

"Eh no you can't Emmett, remember Bella's coming with Edward and I to the orphanage to sign the papers today", Carlisle said thoroughly bursting my bubble.

I flopped back into the stool and pouted yet again.

"Aw it's 'k Em we can play tomorrow", Bella said stretching her arms up towards me and balled her little fists in an effort to let me know she wanted to be picked up.

I lifted her smoothly and placed her in my lap. Esme placed a bowl of cereal in front of her and Bella ate quickly while everybody else chatted about their plans for the day.

"It's probably a good idea if we hunt, we've left it too long", Jasper said quietly,trf probably didn't want to scare Bella, as if she could be scared by that! Kid wasn't even scared of me.

"Good idea", Rosalie said in a muted voice.

"Ready. Can we go now?" Bella asked staring up at Carlisle.

"Yes we can go now if you'd like, just put your coat on", he responded.

I helped Bella down from my lap and she stumbled over to Rose who was holding out her coat.

When she was finished Edward scooped her up into his arms, really could she not walk all of a sudden.

Esme leaned in and pecked Bella's cheek, we followed them to the door and waved them off.

CARLISLEPOV

We settled quickly into my Mercedes and Edward buckled Bella in opting to sit in the back with Bella and I pulled out of the driveway smoothly.

"Am I going to get to see Charlotte and the others?", Bella asked her eyes wide with excitement at the prospect.

I saw Edward nod out of the mirror.

"Am I going to get to play with them all?".

"If we have time", he said quietly I had a feeling that he like me was worried about when it came to Bella saying her formal goodbyes.

"But Bella try not to mention that it's Edward whose family you're being adopted into, just in case you ever meet Charlotte or any of the other kids again, which means Edward you should probably avoid the kids".

"That's fine Carlisle", Edward said entertaining Bella by tickling her.

The rest of the car ride was pretty quiet, except for Bella occasionally squealing whenever Edward got bored and started tickling her again.

I pulled up across the road from the dull grey building that was formerly known to Bella as home.

Edward unbuckled Bella and swung her up into his arms where she nestled in comfortably against his chest.

We walked at a leisurely pace towards the building.

Bella was excited I could tell, her eyes were bright and her cheeks a delectable shade of crimson.

We came to the entrance and stepped in. We went straight to the office, deciding to deal with this business first while Bella goes and plays with her friends.

We came to a door with bold letters that made out the name E. Burns.

I knocked crisply on the door distracted momentarily as the door opened, by the sounds of children playing further down the hall.

A middle aged woman came to the door wearing a tan suit and her hair in a tight bun. Her apparel suggested that she was strict but her expression was open and friendly.

She smiled a little too widely at me and I glanced quickly at Edward but he wasn't grimacing or scowling, so I assumed her thought were censored.

"Mr. Cullen how nice to see you again and with Bella too I really wasn't expecting to see you so…………." She stopped mid sentence having noticed Edward. "Oh Mr. Mason, I….I didn't see you there….I…I… what are you doing here?, she faltered.

"You understand of course….. That is I meant…",

Edward interrupted and said smoothly "That's quite alright Ms. Burns, Carlisle, my adoptive father has already informed me of his intention to adopt Bella and I am very much in agreement with it, we are here to sign the papers".

Bella squirmed in Edwards's arms and peered up at him "Can I go say hi to my friends now, please", she asked.

Edward set her down on the ground in front of him and said gently "of course you can. We'll be right here if you need us".

I smiled at my new daughter as she ran out the door and I turned back to Ms. Burns who was ready with a pen and paper.

BELLAPOV

I ran quickly as I could to Charlotte's room.

I really wanted to see her. I had missed her.

Though I knew that I'd have to say goodbye today anyway.

I finally came to the door to Charlotte's room which she shared with another girl called Alexis she was nice too but she liked playing with dolls too much.

I turned the door handle; my hand only slipped a little, and opened the door.

Charlotte was there sitting on her bed, but she looked sad.

"Charlotte?", I asked, I didn't want to be in the way.

Charlotte turned around quickly and suddenly I was being strangled by her arms as she hugged me.

"Bella oh my god I'm so glad you're here, I missed you. Tell me everything".

"I have a family Charlotte, I finally have a family", I said smiling.

"Tell me everything", she beamed.

"The nice doctor and his wife Esme are going to be my mommy and daddy and I have a new sister called Alice, she's crazy and really short, and I have a new brother called Jasper but I call him Jazzy and another brother called Emmett he's silly and he had a tea party with me but then he got mad at Eddie the Teddy and there's Rosalie I think she's going to be my mommy too then there's……………….", I stopped remembering what Carlisle had said about not mentioning Edward luckily Charlotte didn't seem to notice.

Charlotte had sat down on her bed again.

Charlotte was very pretty she had nice blue eyes and long light brown hair, almost the same colour as honey, and she smiled a lot.

But she wasn't smiling now, she looked sad.

"What's wrong Charlotte?" I asked kneeling down beside her.

She looked up. She was crying.

"It's just; you see you're so lucky. You have a family Bella and I….I feel like I'm going to be here forever, that I'm never going to have a family", she said while tears streamed down her face.

Suddenly I had an idea.

"Charlotte stay here ok just stay here I'll be right back", I called out to her as I sprinted out the door and down the hallways.

Finally I made it to Ms. Burn's office and swung the door open just as she said "And it's official you have now adopted Bella".

"Edward, Edward", I called and clambered onto his lap, he was sitting in one of the chairs in front of Ms. Burns's desk.

Edward looked at me, surprised but curious. "Yes Bella?".

I stretched myself up and looked him directly in the eye.

"Edward? Will you do something for me?", I asked breathless after my running.

"Of course", he answered smiling.

"Please, please……………….. Find Charlotte a family".
