Chapter 14

Carlisle's Point of View

I was driving home from work when I couldn't help but think again of Natalie. As the weeks progressed my daughter began to amaze me more and more. She seemed to have inherited her mother's grace and charm. She immediately received the attention of every member of the room when she entered, yet never showed any signs of cockiness. She instantly made everyone feel comfortable and even if she had only known them for a few short minutes, could have a conversation that sounded as if she was old friends with the other. Every human and non-human alike for that matter adored her. It was as if she could hypnotize people. My other adopted 'children' were always talking about how sociable she was at school and it seemed like every day she made a new friend. Pretty soon the small town would not have enough people to be friends with.

Her beauty and her smile only encouraged the others more. One look into her glittering eyes and you couldn't help but agree with everything the girl said. I swear she could ask me to do something completely crazy, but if I looked into her eyes I would be a goner. She was more graceful than any human I had ever met, some vampires too. I actually just found out a while ago she was a dancer, quite an amazing one at that. I had yet to find one thing the girl had not tried and succeeded doing.

All of these wonderful qualities worried me though. Every five minutes the house phone would ring with a boy desperate to go out on a date with her. When it didn't go off, her cell phone did. I honestly wouldn't find it shocking if someone couldn't get a call through to our home on a regular basis. However, my beautiful Natalie had not said yes to a single one of them. Of course she declined in an extremely polite manner that probably left the suitors more charmed than before the rejection, but I couldn't figure out why. When I finally asked her about it she told me that there was one particular boy that she was interested in who had yet to return that same interest. I was in shock, to say the least. I was almost positive that every boy at Forks High School had called her multiple times hoping she would accept their offers, but apparently not.

I let it slide off my back. I was most definitely not going to get upset that she was not going on a date every other night. Katie, on the other hand, was with her all the time. Every day for long periods of time. The two were practically sewn together at the hip. I was really happy she had such a good, close friend, but was also a little worried. We couldn't stay in Forks forever, what would happen when it came time to leave? Alice and Rosalie had also grown close to Natalie, but it wasn't quite the same. They were both so protective of the angel that I could 100 percent understand why she wouldn't want them to be her sisters and best friends.

I was almost home now and was excited to see the angel's beautiful face. She really was an angel to me in every way. Not only was she the best gift my wife could possibly give me, but she defied laws of nature to stay with me in this immortal life I lived.

As I got closer to the house I could hear singing. Actually, the voice was so powerful that a human probably could have heard it. Just one more thing to add to the list, I thought. It really shouldn't have surprised me. She was such a natural at everything else, why not this too. I entered quietly so she wouldn't stop, I really did enjoy listening to her. Then I found out I wasn't the only one. I walked upstairs and found the rest of the family sitting in the hallway outside the bathroom door listening to her. Rosalie immediately put a finger to her lips. I joined them on the floor and listened to my daughter's sweet voice.

I'll be your crying shoulder,

I'll be with the trappings of love

I'll be better when I'm older,

I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

And rain falls angry on the tin roof

As we lie awake in my bed.

You're my survival, you're my living proof.

My love is alive and not dead.

Tell me that we belong together.

Dress it up, with the trappings of love.

I'll be captivated,

I'll hang from your lips,

Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above.

I'll be your crying shoulder,

I'll be with the trappings of love,

I'll be better when I'm older,

I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

As she went on, I couldn't help but wonder again at who she was waiting for. I was proud she was waiting for someone special but who? The question was eating me up alive. The song ended and the water cut off. After a couple of minutes, she came out in sweats and everyone started clapping while she blushed. Emmett, being Emmett, of course embarrassed her by saying, "I didn't know you sing in the shower, Natalie. " After she blushed even deeper he added, "Well if you didn't want us to hear, how come you sing so loud?"

Rosalie told Emmett to shut up and Esme added after that she sings that loudly because she does it well, she's sharing her talents. Natalie started laughing at the more or less scolding Emmett was getting and yet again, I couldn't help but feel as though my family was now complete. Everything was perfect.
