For those of you who asked what the Grand Slam is I've decided to explain it so………. There is a rugby championship called the Six Nations the teams which participate in this are France, Italy, Scotland, England, Whales and of course Ireland. So basically the Grand Slam is a title and cup that goes to whichever team wins every match they play in the Six Nations, this actually doesn't happen all that often so I guess that means Ireland won the Six Nations too…………

By the way this chapter is dedicated to Pickingupthepieces who practically kicked my ass into writing this chapter.

And everyone check out the poll I put up on my profile and please vote.

Random point of interest: In case you didn't know I'm practically clumsier then Bella, seriously.

Disclaimer: I don't own twilight and I couldn't think of anything witty to write for this disclaimer :(

"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".

EDWARDPOV

I stared down at Bella, her face flushed with excitement and her eyes bright with anticipation.

What could she mean?

Find Charlotte a family? Did she mean….? No she couldn't. Bella knew we couldn't.

I turned back to Carlisle and Ms. Burns. "Can you excuse me a moment?", I asked politely nodding in Ms. Burns direction.

She seemed agitated and her hands fluttered nervously to her collar as they had throughout the duration of our meeting. "Of course Mr. Mason".

I glanced at Carlisle quickly. His expression never changed but his thoughts were directed towards me. Do as you think best.

I lifted Bella to my arms and held her there. She rest her head against my shoulder but said nothing, choosing rather to stare up at me, biting her lip.

I carried Bella swiftly down the hall. I chose the room they used as a living room, it was empty.

The room was quite small with mismatched furniture and colourful throws splayed haphazardly across the furniture.

I set Bella down and knelt before her. I reached out and moved Bella's soft mahogany hair out of her face. She smiled apprehensively.

"Now", I said smiling "tell me what this is all about".

Bella took a deep breath and said, her bottom lip trembling "Ch… Charlottes sad, she wants a family too".

I smiled, in silent awe of how compassionate my little Bella could be.

One slow tear trickled down Bella's cheek "Please Edward, I don't want Charlotte to be sad".

It was that tear, a single tear from Bella and I was putty in her hands.

"Hmm I see", I said smoothing away the creases in Bella's forehead, causing Bella to smile, even if it was just a little. "And you want me to help find Charlotte a family?".

She nodded her head emphatically, smiling hugely.

I couldn't help the chuckle that escaped me. My hand stretched out and I ruffled her hair gently, mentally wincing at what Alice would do to me for that.

"You know that something like adoption doesn't happen magically Bella? Well at least not for humans", I asked. She nodded.

"And you know that we can't adopt Charlotte ourselves, right Bella?", I asked softly.

"I know", she sighed "But please Edward, Charlotte needs a family too".

"Well how about this, leave it with me and I promise I'll find Charlotte a family, but it will take some time Bella", I said smoothing out her hair.

"Oh thank you Edward", Bella cried flinging her arms around my neck. I pulled her close to me and buried my face in her hair, inhaling.

Her scent scorched my throat and the monster within me thrashed against his shackles, but he was well bound.

"Now go play", I commanded.

Bella nodded and sprinted out of the room, stumbled and knocked her knee against the door frame.

I was by her side in an instant, hovering nervously above.

"I'm ok", she grinned, rubbing her knee.

I sighed in relief and helped Bella to her feet; it seemed I had a task at hand.

BELLAPOV

I left Edward in the living room and ran towards Charlotte's room, the walls were a blur and I fell several times, but I made it there.

I threw open the door and launched myself at Charlotte. "Bella?", she cried, her voice muffled because I was currently crushing her.

I sat up and pulled Charlotte with me.

I talked to Ed…. My new family and he….they said they'd help find you a family", I said bouncing slightly.

"Really?", she asked her eyes wide.

"Yep", I said nodding my head.

"But they said it might take a while", I said biting my lip.

"I don't care how long it takes Bella, I'm finally going to have a family", she said her eyes glistening with tears.

"Thank you", she whispered. I smiled and pulled her up from the bed, "come on lets play".

JASPERPOV

I watched Bella from the corner of my eye.

As soon as she had come home she had quietly settled herself into a seat in the window sill of the living room.

She was currently in that same position, staring out the window at the torrential rain.

I watched as she curled her short little legs beneath her and traced the pattern the rain drops had left on the window.

I knew she wasn't really all that fascinated by the rain. She was worried.

This was probably due to Edward.

He had not driven home with Bella and Carlisle, choosing instead to run.

The reason behind her worry however I didn't know.

It could have been that she was worried Edward would get wet or maybe she missed him; he had been gone a while and I assumed he was hunting, or it could have been something that had occurred at the orphanage.

The orphanage. We had officially adopted Bella. I was thrilled of course, we all were and I even had the feeling that Alice might be planning a party.

Adopting Bella was the best thing for this family, she made us whole.

But was it what was best for Bella? Despite the fact that Bella is part of this family I still wondered.

What about the future? What about when Bella grew up, made friends, met boys?

I internally cringed at the last thought.

What about when Bella was ready to start her own family?

Could she have all the things she deserved and still be a part of this family?

I knew the answer, no.

Not really, though Bella would always be a part of this family. One day she would have to leave, to be embraced by humanity and the life she was intended to live and one day she would not come back.

I shook these thoughts away, for now we had Bella, and I would not wallow or worry over something that was not here yet.

After all Bella would always have a place with us, and we would always be there for her, no matter what.

I was broken from my reverie by Alice.

"Is something the matter Bella?" she asked.

"I'm worried about Edward", she said looking at Alice, who was standing beside her.

"Why dear?", Esme asked walking into the room with a tray which held a blue plastic cup of what smelled like orange and French toast with syrup. She placed it down beside Bella and stepped back to stand beside Alice.

"It's raining outside, he'll get wet", she mumbled glancing back at the window.

I chuckled softy and Alice giggled. "Don't worry Bella Edward doesn't mind the rain", I said smiling in what I hoped was a reassuring way. I was still getting used to this whole brother thing.

"But…But what if he gets sick?", she asked her eyes round and her lips parted in concern.

I exchange a look with Alice and she quickly darted out of the room to hide her giggles from Bella. I however had to stay. Once I had my laughter under control I stood up and walked over to Bella. I'm sure that won't happen Bella, Edwards very durable". I heard Alice snicker upstairs.

I could hear footsteps outside, approaching rapidly.

Quite suddenly the door burst open and in stepped an absolutely drenched Edward. Strangely enough though, he was smiling. Not just smiling, beaming.

And his emotions seemed to match his expression.

He was standing beside me in an instant and before I could stop him he swung Bella into his arms, thoroughly drenching her as well.

"I have it Bella, I have it", he grinned spinning her around in her arms while she squealed.

I stared at them both, completely bewildered.

"For Charlotte", he informed her.

Who the hell was Charlotte?

"I have an idea Bella, I have an idea".

And don't forget to check out my poll.

So finished, this chapter I mean.

I'm sorry about taking so long I had my science project at the weekend, I was just being lazy on Monday and I started on Tuesday, I only began again today, Thursday because honestly I try to write only to when I'm in the mood for writing and today I was feeling inspirational because if I'm not in the mood for writing it's not as good and I try to give you guys my all.
