Thank's for all the reviews! I think in this chapter, there's going to be a little, random thing. I don't know how to explain it.

Chapter 8: Answers
Bella's POV
After Dr. Cullen said that I was okay to go home, I reluctantly pulled away from Edward. I now can think of him as my bestest friend in the whole world. I had heard Alice and Jasper talking about something to Miss Hope, which only made her smile. She nodded her head, and was off to come and get me from Edward's arms.
It looked like it pained him to give me to her, I wonder why. Well, we were best buddies, so I guess that he wanted more time to play!
"Thank you for taking good care of her. I hope she wasn't a bother" Miss Hope said to Edward.
"She wasn't a bother at all." He said with a smile, looking down at me. I smiled back and waved at him, which made Alice start scream and jump around like a mad women. She was a weird person, I always thought that from the first time I saw her.
Miss Hope knew that she had to get back to the orphanage, which made Alice, Edward, and Jasper? -I think that was his name. Huh, he didn't talk that much. Oh well!- look really sad.
Edward and Carlisle, I can now call him that, were talking very softly so I couldn't hear them. They asked me if I could do things that other kids can't do, and so I showed them. I showed them how I could lift things up with me mind, turn invisable, and change my eye color depending on my mood. Carlisle said that he would go into research about some vampire legend. I can tell you, that I am no vampire.
I don't drink humans' blood, and I don't burn in the sunlight, and I am not afraid of garlic! I actually think it's kinda good, if you put it in the right kinds of foods! But anyway, I am NOT a vampire! Or, am I? Mark's said that I wasn't normal, but he was only joking...or was he?
I have a heartbeat, and I am not beautiful like some stories say, and plus I don't have fangs! Wait, does that mean that the Cullen's were vampires? They were all beautiful, but they were also cold. Was that normal? Plus, they have like, golden eyes. My eyes change colors, so maybe so do theirs. Maybe I am a vampire, or maybe I'm looking at things to closely.
I still noticed that we were in the same place as me stood, and Alice was still jumping off the walls, literally, and Jasper was still in the same position, but he looked pained.
Still not wanting Miss Hope that I could talk, I pointed to Jasper, trying to ask if he was alright. He looked up from the spot he picked on the floor, and gave me a little wave with a little smile.
I was glad that he was okay, and that he wasn't hurt, so I started making these gurgling noises, and clapping my hands together. Everyone laughed at me. What did I do? Oh, they think that I'm cute. I AM a toddler, so I guess that they could still say I'm cute.
"Miss Hope," Carlisle called, walking down the hall. He looked like he had just won the lottery. "If I may, can I please have a word with you, in private?" He asked in a persuasive voice. Miss Hope nodded, and Carlisle took me from her arms, and placed me into Edwards. Well, thank you Carlisle!
They walked down the hall, and around the corner into a room that looked like Carlisle could only get into it. I grabbed a fist of Edward's shirt to get his attention, and he looked down at me.
"Can I ask you something?" I said quietly, which I don't know how Alice and Jasper knew to come over here, not that I was complaining. The more people, the more answers I get.
"Go ahead." Alice said, giving me her undivided attention.
"Am I a freak?" I asked quietly, not really sure if they could hear me...
"WHAT!" All three of them asked, looking at me as if I had grown another head. I knew it! I am a freak!
"Bella, you are not a freak." Edward stated, softly so that he wouldn't scare me.
"Then why can't anyone tell me what's going on?" I challenged him, awaiting the answer.
"Bella, can you keep a secret?" Jasper asked me, making sure that he didn't scare me.
"Yes," I stated honestly
"Alice?" Edward asked her. Why was he asking her a question?
"She won't freak out," Alice said after she came out of a, frozen stage kinda look. "But she already knows..."
Edward then took me to a corner of the hospital that no one was at, and sat me down on the couch, crouching down next to it, to be at my eye level.
"Bella," he asked me seriously, "What do you think that you are?" He asked me, a little bit higher than a whisper.
"Carlisle said to you that I was a vampire, is that true?" I asked, looking up hopefully at him. Maybe I was a vampire after all.
"You're also a human," Jasper said, walking over to me, and crouching down on the left side of Edward.
"But, how-" I started to say, but Alice crouched down, on the right side of Edward, and cut me off.
"You're a half breed. Do you know what that means?" She asked me, waiting for the answer.
"Like, a dog?" I asked them. What are they talking about?
"No, not like dog Bella" Edward said, chuckling. Then what did they mean?
"She's confused..." Jasper said to Edward, how did he know?
"Kids!" Carlisle said, loudly, making my heart beat 10 times faster then it should have. I got scared, so probably my eyes turned to a yellow color, and I turned my face into Edward's neck. walking back with Miss Hope. "Alice, you can do it." He said. Do what?
"Really?" She asked, ready to go bouncing off the walls again.
"Yes, and behave" He said sternly.
"Come on Isabella!" Miss Hope said, picking me up from the couch.
"Carlisle, I'm going to go drive there. Edward, can I take the Volvo?" Alice asked. Edward looked like a man who cared for his car very much. I thought it was funny, so I started giggling. He looked back at me, and his face expression softend.
"Well Alice, if you want..." Edward said with a sigh.
"Thank You! Thank You! THANK YOU!" She started yelling at Miss Hope. Ow! Man! That pixie girl could really scream! And I still don't know what these people are up too! I guess that I will just have to wait and see...
Alice's POV
As Edward and Carlisle were going to check Isabella over, I went over to Miss Hope, and asked her the question that I've always wanted to say since I saw Isabella becoming a part of the family. It looked like Edward and her were going to be best friends in the future.
All though, I never did really know who the brunnette girl who was human was. The girl from my vision looked like a older version of...Isabella! That was it!
"Miss Hope?" I asked her, trying to block my mind from what I was thinking, just incase 'Eddie the Mind-Reader' wanted to see what I was up to. So, I started singing Year 3000 by the Jonas Brothers. Edward hated that group. Perfect!
"Yes? Do I know you?" She asked me, probably trying to remember me from some place.
"No, you don't know me, but I'm Alice and this is Jasper, the adoptive daughter and son of Carlisle, Isabella's doctor." I said to her, making sure that now I could introduse Jasper as my boyfriend, instead of my husband.
"Oh! Hello!" She said to us. "Is there something wrong?" She asked us. Like if there was, would I be smiling hugely right now? Don't think so.
"No, but all of us Cullens, Carlisle, me, Jasper, and are other brother, Edward, feel that to really make sure that Isabella is properly healthy, that maybe, we could...you know...adopt her..." I said, trying not to sound to foward.
"Of course!" She exclaimed, very happily I might add. I wonder why? Secrets! I wanna know! Oh well Alice, suck it up! "You can tell your father to come over after his shifts over. I made Jasper start talking to her then, because I turned my back, pretending to be looking for something in my purse, and had a vision about Carlisle saying to me that it was all right if I signed the papers.
I turned back to her, and said "That's fine! I'll go tell him right now. Come on Jasper!" I said, struggling a little bit, making it look like I couldn't pull him that much, even thought if I wanted to, I could have thrown him out the 6 story building window, but who would like that? Well, I guess Emmett would, but he's not here right now.
As we were walking down the hall, we saw Carlisle walking infront of Edward and Isabella. This is gonna be so hard to keep the secret, no one can tell Edward.
"Tell Edward what?" He asked me. Oh, heck no! I mean, uh, burnin' up, burnin' up, for you baby!
"Alice! Please! Stop!" Ha, serves him right!
"Miss Hope?" Carlisle asked when we came into earshot for the humans. "If I may, can I please have a word with you, in private?" He asked in his persuasive voice. No human can say no to that!
Miss Hope just nodded. I wonder what her real name i-
"Julie." Edward said. Then what's her middle name then?
"Anne." He stated matter of factly. We said that conversation so low and fast, that it didn't even look like we were talking.
Carlisle took Isabella out of Miss Hopes arms, and placed her into Edwards. Awwww, so cute. Carlisle and Miss Hope walked down the hall. Isabella grabbed a fist full of Edward's shirt and got his attention, not that he didn't already.
"Can I ask you something?" Isabella asked. I think she didn't know that we could hear her.
"Go ahead!" I said, giving her my undivided attention.
"Am I a freak?" She asked quietly, not really s ure if she should of said it.
"WHAT!" Edward, Jasper, and I yelled at the same time?
"Bella, you are not a freak." Edward told her softly after the huge outburst we all made.
"Then why can't anyone tell me what's going on?" She challenged Edward, awaiting the answer.
"Bella, can you keep a secret?" Jasper said in a hushed tone.
"Yes," She replied honestly. Then her eyes changed, color? They turned from Brown to a light Hazel color? Is that even possible?
"She's half human half vampire Alice, that's one of her powers. Her eyes change color depending on her mood" Edward said to me so fast that Bella couldn't have even known we were talking.
Oh, well that made sense.
"Alice?" Edward asked me, making sure that she wouldn't run away once we told her.
"She won't freak out," I told him, showing him what she would do.
Edward then carried her over to the corner of the hospital where not a lot of people were, and sat her down on the couch gently.
"Bella," He started off, "What do you think you are?" He asked her gently...
"Carlisle said that I was a vampire. Is that true?" She asked us quietly, knowing now that she could talk as softly as she wanted to, and knowing that we all could hear her.
"You're also human, Bella" Jasper told her softly, not trying to scare her.
"Your'e a half breed Bella. Do you know what that means?" I asked her, not sure if she knew about vampires.
"Like, a...dog?" She asked us. Aww! She thought she was a dog! Hope not, they smell repulsive! Stupid La Push Pack! (sorry for any Team Jacob's reading this!)
"No, not like a dog..." Edward said to her, chuckling slightly.
"She's confused," Jasper said. Bella had a look of disbeliefe on her face. Probably wondering how Jasper knew what she was feeling.
"Kids!" We all jumped at the sound of Carlisle's voice behind us. Edward then picked Bella up and she hid her face in his neck, scared of how loud Carlisle's voice was.
"Oh, I'm sorry Isabella" Carlisle told Bella, trying to calm her down. "Alice, you can do it." He told me.
"Really?" I said, ready to make a huge mark in the wall I was so excited. And I know just what I'll do...
"Yes, and behave Alice." Carlisle told mem sternly. Edward handed Bella over to Miss Hope, pain written all over his face expression. I guess they really did have a huge connection.
"Edward, can I drive your Volvo? Please?" I begged him. He then gave me the "Don't you even get one little scratch on my baby!'. But, since he didn't know what it was about, and Carlisle agreed, he reluctantly handed me over the keys.
Bella's eyes then turned to a light purple color, and she started making gurgling noises and started clapping her hands, thinking the little show in front of her was funny.
Edward's face then softend up, and he smiled at her. She had him wrapped around her little finger. Woops! Sorry Edward! Didn't mean for you to hear that! I thought, after I saw what he was going to do to me later.
And now, I was off after Julie and Bella to go and adopt her into the Cullen/Hale family!
