I step inside after my day at work and sit beside the girl who was yet to be relieved from the pain. Bella was sitting with her reading a book but she put it down momentarily.

"I don't think this will be as bad as you think Carlisle. I looked at the paper; I subtly asked Charlie if anything different has happened lately and claimed I was asking out of curiosity. No one has reported a missing daughter, in Forks or in the surrounding cities."

"Why is that good?" I asked, completely confused.

"If no one is looking for her, maybe she doesn't have a family or a good one anyway. Maybe she tried to take her own life because no one cared. I'm sure that if that is the case and we take her in, she will be more than grateful Carlisle." She explained.

"Yeah, but we won't know for sure until the transformation is done." Emmett said as he walked in. "Rose wants to speak to you when you have a second."

I looked down at the girl, then Bella. "Where is she?"

"In your office, has been for an hour." Emmett informed me.

I thanked him and made my way into my office. She stood immediately when she noticed the door opening.

"Carlisle?"

"Yeah Rose, Emmett said you wished to speak with me. What's up?"

"I just wanted to apologise. I feel so horribly guilty about my words the other night. I'm sorry I shouldn't have reacted like that, and I'm sure that the girl will be more than happy for what you did once she understands everything."

I smiled. "It's completely fine Rose, I know you don't particularly like what we are."

She walked over quickly and threw her arms around me. "Thank you for the life you have given me Carlisle." She whispered.

"No problem." I replied with a light chuckle wrapping my arms around her.

We stood like that for a couple of minutes and I started to wonder if this had something more to it than the girl.

"Rose? Are you okay?" I asked once she let go.

She didn't answer me, just looked at her hands.

"Rosalie?"

"I will be." She said flatly.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

She thought for a second, "Not at the moment, maybe after the girl gets better and adjusts."

"That could be a couple of weeks, Rosalie…"

"Yeah, it will still be here for a while I'm guessing."

"Rose, if it's serious then you-"

"No." she cut him off, "It can wait Carlisle, thanks." She kissed him on the cheek and walked out.

I went upstairs and greeted Esme with a kiss and a brief description of my day while I got changed, and listened to hers, then went back to my study to read for a while.

A soft knock on the door startled me. "Come in."

"Hey Carlisle, her pain is easing. I just thought I would let you know." Jasper explained.

"Thank you for letting me know, Jasper."

"No problem, and if you're not around when the transformation is finished I will let you know straight away."

"Thanks." I smiled. "How does everyone feel about another member to our family?"

"We're all pretty on board, some are more unsure than others."

I smiled. "Okay, thanks again."

He nodded and walked back out.

I walk back up to my room and found Esme folding clothes.

"Distract me?" I asked her.

She smirked at me, "Are you really up for it?"

"Whatever do you mean? Up for what?" I asked sarcastically.

She glared at me playfully and I chucked lightly. She moved all the clothes off the bed before coming to plant a kiss on my lips.

"I'm bored, anyone wanna come hunt with me?" Emmett asked his siblings.

They all simultaneously declined. "Fine, I will go ask Carlisle and Esme."

"Emmett…I think you should wait a couple of hours, maybe three or twelve…" Edward smirked.

He made a face, "Okay, gross. I will see you all later." He ran out, accidently slamming the back door behind him.

"Geez, calm down…" Alice joked, before a faint cry came from the other room.

The girl was getting closer to done with the transformation.

"How long do you think?" Bella asked.

"I would say maybe 9 or 10 hours." Jasper guessed.
