AN: Sorry it took so long, I'm just starting College and am running around trying to get all of my stuff ready to move in. In addition, I'm uploading pictures of Isabella as a baby and pictures of the house they are living in.
Chapter Two: Adjusting
In the past week, the whole Cullen Clan has grown attacked to the Swan's. Carlisle found somebody to talk to about his human life after asking Charlie when he was changed only to discover that he too was created in the late seventeenth century. The two talked for hours about where they grew up and what they have seen as the years progressed. Jasper and Emmett were excited to learn that Charlie was an amazing fighter, and actually showed them new methods of fighting that neither of them has ever seen before. To Jasper's astonishment, it turns out that Charlie was a soldier in Thirty Years' War and willing to give detailed accounts of what actually happened; not what was written in the textbooks. As for me, I enjoyed total silence for the first time in over ninety years for Charlie had agreed to block the thoughts of my family so that I could enjoy my personal time.
As for the girls, they adored the small baby that brightens the house, with each of them trying to spoil the infant every time they turn around. In Esme case, she took to decorating Isabella's nursery in pale pink colors then accenting the white ceiling with black polka dots claiming that every little girl should feel like a princess in their own home. As for a bed, she took into consideration that the child grow amazingly fast and choose a crib that turns into a toddler's bed. While in Alice's case, she jumped on the opportunity to finally be able to shop for somebody that grows and kidnaps the baby to go with her almost every week. As for Rosalie, she spends most of her time with Isabella, either holding her, brushing her hair, or telling her stories throughout the day; all while secretly enjoying the feel of her warm skin while holding the little cutie.
As for Isabella herself, she is delighted to be surrounded by not only her father whom she radiates love for every second of the day but also the whole family.
The second day that the Swan's joined our family, Carlisle decided that if the Swan's were going to stay, then we would have to come up with a cover story to explain why there were two more additions to the strange Cullen family. Esme suggested that Charlie be her brother, since we are now claiming Jasper and Rosalie are Carlisle's niece and nephew seeing that while in Ketchikan, Alaska people in town found it strange that Esme had brown hair and the 'twins' had blonde hair. Everybody agreed whole heartedly except for Rosalie, she wanted Isabella to have some blood relationship with her. Figures, right? Just being the baby's cousin wasn't enough for her, although I have to say I don't blame her. I would want to be closer to that adorable little monster any day, not that I think she's a monster.
As time progressed and Isabella grew, the family was more comfortable handling her. Jasper took to throwing her into the hair while she giggled her head off, and Emmett enjoyed playing ball with her while she ran between his legs to get around him. Alice just enjoyed playing dress up with Isabella and me, while... I've been playing house with the little cutie. There you have it, that away my man card if you must, but you just can't say no to that child. Ask Emmett, he'll tell you. She had him dressed up in a dress playing tea party with her within a week of her being here. Shocking I know, but nobody could stop laughing when Rose came into Isabella's room and saw her husband sipping tea in a purple dress.
