Oh and you guys I posted a link to a manga picture of six year old Bella which I drew myself, check it out.
Random point of interest: I'm having a Maltesers Easter egg for Easter.
Disclaimer: Me and my gummy bears had a plan to steal Twilight but I got hungry and ate my gummy bears now I don't have Twilight or gummy bears.
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".
EDWARDS POV (3 days later)
The bell above the shop door chimed as I pulled Bella and myself across the threshold.
I tugged gently on Bella's arm and she came to a halt before me.
"So Bella you remember the plan?", I asked her softly. We had gone over this several times but I wanted to make sure she understood.
"Yes Edward", she grumbled, rolling her eyes "find the shop owners' daughter, tell her all about Charlotte and she'll…", Bella spun around to face me "Edward are you sure she'll tell her family about Charlotte?", she asked biting her lip.
I smiled and kneeled down while simultaneously reaching out, and smoothing Bella's soft hair down her back.
"Yes sweetie, Alice said she was sure of it", I said gently.
Bella fidgeted nervously with the skirt of her light blue dress.
"Do you think they'll like Charlotte?", she whispered anxiously.
"I'm sure they will Bella", I said doing my best to soothe her.
"Come on", I said, straightening up. I took Bella's small hand in mine and lead her in the direction of the front desk.
There was a woman at the desk, typing on the computer. She seemed to be in her late twenties to early thirties. She had shoulder length curly brown hair, just a few shades lighter then Bella's and had laugh lines which were accompanied with small frown lines, barely visible if it wasn't for my enhanced vision, altogether a rather pretty woman by human standards at the very least.
I nodded to her as we walked past the desk, in acknowledgement of both her presence and her thoughts.
She smiled at Bella warmly and returned to her typing her thoughts however lingered on us; such a sweet looking girl and so kind of her brother to bring her out, If only my own little one had a brother or sister.
I had visited this bookstore often the reason being that it was well stocked, but also that it's owners had such kind thoughts, it was unusual to find a pairing such as them, it made purchasing books a much more pleasant experience.
We turned into one of the isles, now surrounded by books. I listened for a moment and located the little girl.
She was currently huddled into a corner reading Hansel and Gretel, concentrating on the relationship between the siblings rather then the gruesome nature of the popular children's book.
I lead Bella to the isle before the one which the girl occupied.
I smiled at Bella who returned it weakly. "I'll be right here Bella, you go and talk to her, she's sitting in the corner reading", I informed Bella, checking quickly to see that the girl hadn't moved.
Bella turned and walked slowly to the corner of the isle, she turned then and looked at me, her eyes wide. I nodded in encouragement and she continued on.
I turned to the shelves, lined with books and skimmed the titles. I was in the children's section.
At the very least I could get some more books for Bella, Alice had been a little too occupied with Bella's wardrobe.
Perhaps something a little more stimulating then Cinderella.
I could see Bella approaching through the little girl's thoughts. She kept her eyes on her book, but watched Bella from the corner of her eyes, she was shy.
Bella stopped a few steps way from her and shuffled nervously.
I surveyed my surroundings for a moment while waiting for Bella to muster the courage to introduce herself.
The store wasn't large but quaint, with teak shelving and floors. The shelves were lined with books, mostly old leather bound volumes.
I heard Bella introducing herself, stuttering just slightly, I smiled to myself as I saw her sit down in front of the other little girl.
"What book are you reading?" Bella asked shyly, blushing and fiddling with her dress again.
"Hansel and Gretel", the other girl said staring at the ground.
"Wow, I can only read a little", Bella said, awe evident in her voice.
"My mommy and daddy thought me how to read", the little girl informed Bella proudly.
"Really? My friend Charlotte thought me to read a little, she likes to read a lot,", Bella said.
I smiled to myself, smart little cookie.
"What's your friend Charlotte like?", the girl asked curiously.
"She's lots of fun and she's really nice and smart too", Bella said matter of factly.
"But she won't be able to teach me anymore, I just got adopted", Bella informed the girl, smiling widely.
"Was your friend Charlotte adopted too?", the little girl asked.
"No she's still at the orphanage I used to live at, she really wants to get adopted too though, she really wants a mommy and a daddy and maybe a sister too", Bella said, I chuckled to myself, I had intended on something a little more subtle but….
I felt a vibrating against my leg and pulled out my mobile, which was flashing brightly. I had a text from Alice reading; she's done it.
I smiled to myself as the little girl stood up and excused herself from Bella's presence.
I strolled to the next isle and found Bella there, beaming up at me.
"Hello", I said as she stood up and took my hand. "Hi".
I lead her out to the front desk where the little girl was sitting on the counter telling her parents all about what Bella had told her.
As we walked past the desk, the little girl called out, pointing to Bella "Mommy that's her, that's the girl".
The woman looked up, flustered. "Oh, oh young man sorry can you hold on just a moment", she cried running out from behind the desk.
She came to an abrupt stop just before me. "I'm sorry but your sister she was telling my daughter about…".
I cut her off mid sentence, Bella really needed to eat. "You must mean Bella's friend Charlotte, I'm sorry I hope she wasn't bothering you". I knew she wasn't but it seemed like the right thing to say.
"Oh no she wasn't, not at all, it's just well, you see…", she trailed off seeming lost.
Her mind was a complete mess, excited at the prospect of having found the child she, her husband and her daughter so desperately wished for.
"Well this is going to sound rather odd but I was wondering if you could well, give us the name of the orphanage this girl Charlotte lives in. It's just my husband and I are hoping to adopt and this girl sounds just right for our family", she said rushing through her words and blushing lightly by the end.
I smiled at the woman being careful not to show my teeth. "of course", I said softly.
I wrote down the address and Charlottes name for the woman.
"Oh thank you", she said beaming.
I nodded and lead Bella out the door, as she threw a smile at the young girl who was chatting animatedly to her mother.
As Bella and I walked across the road I threw one last look over my shoulder at the Webber Family Bookstore.
Review please.
Finally finished this was hard but I'm pretty happy with it.
What did you think?
And this chapter is dedicated to Sara who was the only one to guess who Bella was going to go to.
And so I got 58 reviews for the last chapter and I've decided to be greedy again and refuse to update until I've gotten at least 63 to 65. So review lots guys.
Ok so what do you guys want for the next chapter because I yet again have no idea.
And don't forget to check out my new story and my new one shot and check out the picture I posted of Bella it's really cute.
Review pretty please.
XxXx
