My Sweet Little Bella.

Chapter 1- Little Bella

RPOV

Shopping in Port Angles is probably the most uneventful, wasteful time to spend the day. One can only take so much of cheap apparel stores that have nothing event remotely related to the runway. Even poor Alice gets fed up with it. But the boys are out hunting and Esme, Alice, and I couldn't bare another minute in that house.

Esme insisted on stopping at that old antique store by the warehouse area, and that's when I first heard it. The faint muffled cries of a child.

"I'll be back," I murmur to my sister and mother.

I race to the far end of the last warehouse, closest to the ocean. The cries are louder and are more pronounced, "Mommy? Where did you go," the frail voice asks through loud sobs. Is the child lost? I couldn't just leave the poor thing here that was unhuman. Then again, I'm one to talk, being a vampire and all.

I slow my speed to a walk; it's been exactly sixty fourth of a second since I left the other two. I don't want to frighten the little human so it's probably best to show up at her pace. "Hello," I call quietly. The sobs stop, and I can hear the heart rate take off. I've scared the child.

"I won't hurt to sweetheart," I say softly. Taking small, cautions steps I round the corner. There I find a small body huddled against the wall with large chocolate brown eyes staring up at me in horror. I instantly regret coming here, but I can't leave this little girl by herself.

"Are you lost little one," I ask in a motherly tone. I here her breath catch when she hears my voice. She shakes her head quickly, still wide-eyed staring intently at me.

"Where did your mommy and daddy go?"

She hesitates before whispering her response, "Daddy left before I was born."

Oh. I feel a frown appear on my lovely face. "What about mommy then sweetheart?"

"Mumma told me to stay here, that I couldn't follow her," she shutters. A whole new round of sobs breaks out. Oh my god, please tell me she is making this up. I can't help but bend down to her eye level. She looks so upset, with those tears clouding her beautiful little eyes.

"What do you mean your mommy told you to stay here? Is she coming back?"

"N-no, she said she didn't want me anymore. She said she was going to find daddy and be with him."

Tears flooded her eyes as she cried harder and harder. This poor little darling was left here to be taken by anyone. Over my damn body was anyone going to lay a finger on this little girl.

"Come here," I say opening my arms, not sure if she would be frightened by me. Most humans new better to stay away from us, they literally feared the ground we walked on. Good thing to, they didn't know that we were capable of snapping there necks and sucking them dry in less then a second.

But to my surprise she came right to me and nuzzled her small head into the nap of my neck. Instinctively I wrap my arms around her and hold her there, like any mother would; or in her case I should say any mother should do. I pull out my cell phone and press speed dial four.

"Where did you go, Rose," Esme asked.

"Follow my scent, come quick. We have a crisis." I hang up the phone not waiting for my mother to answer.

"Rose, what is this all about," Esme asks, clearly fed up with me being rude. She hates when I hang up on her without explanation.

"Esme, look," is all I can say.

"A child?"

My head nods, I am still rubbing the nameless girls back, trying to sooth her.

"You shouldn't be here Rose. When her parents come this wont be pretty."

"Why do I see this one living with us," Alice asks in her little soprano voice. The little child in my arms is going to live with me? I felt my dead heart swell. Could this be so? Was she mine too keep? Hopefully Alice will be right and this vision came true.

"Her dads a dead bet, and her mom left her here and isn't coming back," I say bitterly. "Esme," I say with pleading eyes. She knows exactly what I am suggesting.

"What will the boys say, Rosalie?" Is all she says, she wants to say yes. Esme and I have always regretted being childless. It is something we both share and deeply want. Mothers who take the beautiful gift of birth for granted should burn in hell. Us less fortunate would give anything for such a miracle.

"I don't care what they say. I will not leave this child here, vulnerable and alone. Over hell and high water will-"

"I know Rosalie, and I agree with you. This is no place for a child. We can take her home and figure it out from there. Come along Alice, let's go get the care and bring it around."

"Little one," I ask softly once both had left. She seemed to have calmed down quite a lot since she came into my arms.

"Yes," she asks meekly, her beautiful little eyes stare up into mine once again. I feel like she has me under her spell. Who knew a human could have such a power on a vampire, me of all of them!

"What is your name, sweetheart?"

"Bella."

"Bella, I am Rosalie Hale. The two ladies that were just here are my mother, Esme, and my sister, Alice. Would you like to come home with us?" Pleas say yes. God say yes. You are exactly what I need. Please, just say you want to come.

"Will you hurt me," she asks blushing. Her little cheeks turn a deep shade of red and I can't help but chuckle softly.

"Oh dear, no I will not Bella. I want to keep you safe."

"Okay. Rosalie," she asks.

"Yes Bella?"

"Can I go nun-night."

Little Bella yawned, proving her point. I bet she's tired. Who knows how long the poor thing has been here, and after all that crying!

"Oh course you can sweetheart. Just rest your eyes now."

I switch Bella so she is cradled in my cold arms. I rock her back in fourth slowly, and in seconds her eyes were shut and her breaths were back to normal. Buy the time Esme pulled up with Carlisle's black Mercedes the child's breathing was slow and in sink.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Rosalie," I hear someone growl down stairs. I hiss back at my brother. No way in hell was Edward going to wake Bella up.

She has been resting for the past four hours in mine and Emmett's bed. She just looked so adorable I could hardly take my eyes off of her. She looked to be about four maybe even five. She was a little thing, hardly weighing thirty pounds. Her long wavy brown hair was spread around her tiny little face.

"I want her out now. This is on place for a child. You know better," he hissed from the living room. Such a pessimist that one.

"Am not, I'm logical. Apparently you aren't."

That's it. I will not have my brother act like this when there is a child who is clearly in need of our help. I'm in his face not even a sixty eighth of a second later.

"Edward Masen Cullen, shut your damn this instant. You didn't see how terrified she was today," I insist, feeling that pain all over again.

He flashes me that stupid crooked smile of his. "Actually I did," pointing to his head.

Before I even get a chance to hiss Emmett's arms wrapped around me, holding me in a painfully tight grip. That son of a bitch! Who does he think he is? He could be such a selfish bastard sometimes. I am going to rip him to shreds; I swear that he will not live. I hate you Edward Cullen. You arrogant, selfish person. How could you be so-

"Rose, I didn't mean it like that," he says with a sigh.

My only response is a dragged out hiss.

"I don't want to put this child in danger. Humans shouldn't be around our kind. You and I both know that. Do you think any of us could live with it if we accidently killed her?"

"Edward, she needs a home," I growl. He didn't understand at all! He was just to selfish to care about anyone but himself.

"We can bring her to the state tomorrow," he sighs.

"I will not let you put that child in state custody. Shed probably be dead in a few months, or abused! Damn it Edward, I will not let that happen!"

My brother looks appalled. He doesn't even have the chance to respond because we all here the former sleeping child mumble my name.

"Emmett let go of me," I say slowly. Instantly my husbands grip slips and I race off to little Bella. She looks worried when she sees me.

"I thought you left." There is a frown set on her beautiful little face.

"No sweetheart, I wouldn't leave you. Do you need anything at all, Bella?" I'm sitting on the bed now.

The little girl crawls over to me and sits on my lap. She burry's her face into my shirt and whispers, "My tummy's hungry."

"Would you like dinner, Bella? You've been asleep for and awfully long time. You must me a hungry little girl," I say softly as I run my hand through her hair. As if on cue her little stomach starts to growl, of course it is nothing as fierce as my growl. But it makes its point across.

"Let's go get you something to eat. I pick her up and she wraps her legs around my waist and her little arms encircle my neck. Walking at human speed is probably best for because I don't want to scare her.

When I have reached the bottom step, Esme and Carlisle are smiling at me, Edward is glowering, Emmett is already bored with the family drama and is watching TV, Alice is out shopping for cloths for Bella, and Jasper was dragged along. The little child hid her face in my neck, obviously aware that there were others in house.

"Bella, do you want to say hi to my family," I ask her softly. I feel a little heated nod against my cold skin. With that I let her down on the ground so she can get a good look at the others.

"Bella, this is Carlisle and that's Esme, they are my mommy and daddy," I explain. Esme smiles at her fondly and then moves to stand over with Carlisle who greets Bella with a 'hello.'

"Nice to meet you," she says softly, looking embarrassed. She's excellent manors for someone so young. Next I point out Emmett. She seems a little intimidated by his size though, so she doesn't approach him. Lastly with a sign I introduce Bella to Edward.

It's strange this time because he is the first one that she actually walks up to. She takes in his appearance for a good thirty seconds before she even thinks about speaking. Edward, just stands there staring down at the little child, I can't read the emotion in his eyes though it's like a combination of frustration and admiration.

"I think you're very pretty," she concludes quite bluntly. The rest of us muffle our laughter, this child would have made my pissy brother blush if he could. Edward flashes Bella his little crooked smile and I can hear her breath hitch slightly.

He shrinks down to her sizes and speaks with nothing but sincerity, "I think that you are very beautiful also."

Bella hesitantly reaches out her small pale hand and touch Edwards copper colored hair. "Its pretty too, like your face. I like you," she decides, and this time I can't hold back my laughter. This little girl fits right into our little family. Edward starts laughing again, and it sounds like its actually real laughter.

"I think I like you two little one."

"Bella, do you still want something to eat," I ask, walking towards her. She turns from Edward and smiles her toothy little smile up at me, reaching for my hand. I take Bella into the kitchen and sit her up on the counter. I'm afraid to place her on the stool because she could fall and hurt herself.

"Do you know what you would like to eat sweetie?"

The little child put her finger to her mouth, debuting on what she felt like eating. "I don't like lots of stuff," she admitted, turning crimson again.

"That's okay; I have a lot of food for you to choose from. Would you like a sandwich or spaghetti or maybe even a bowl of soup," I suggest. I wasn't to sure on what little children ate, since I haven't been near any since my human life.

"Peanut butter and fluff," she asks carefully.

"Sure thing." I open the freshly stocked cabinets, courteously to Esme, and pulled out those awful smelling ingredience, to please the child. I was sure to keep my grimace off of my face as I made Bella her dinner.

"Thanks," she says politely, taking a bite of the sandwich. She smiles at it and I can't help but smile down at her. She is a lovely child and I already feel quite attached to her.

"Milk okay?" I get a nod of the head. The poor thing was starving; I mentally kick myself for not walking her up earlier to feed her. But I remind myself that she needed her sleep and that I did the right thing by not disturbing her. I hope Alice will come back in time with some cloths to but her to bed it. The only thing I found her with was that little deep blue dress she was wearing.

I here footsteps approach; it's Edward. He's leaning against the door frame, staring at Bella as she eats. I thought he was against having a child around. Shouldn't he be all doom and gloomy somewhere else. He shoots me a death glare and I just shrug because I know that it is true.

Bella seems to notices him after a moment. She has stopped eating and is frowning. Maybe Edward will tell me what she's thinking after. Bella holds out her sandwich to Edward and speaks, "You want some," she asks softly.

"No, you eat it," he says with a smile. She just turns happily back to her sandwich.

"What is she thinking," I murmur much too soft for human ears.

Edward hesitates before he answers me. "I-I don't know, I can't here a thing. It's frustrating," he admits.

You can't hear her?

Edward just shacks his head, looking at Bella curiously. He shocks me by going over to Bella and actually picking her up. She stops eating, watching Edward sit them both down on one of the stools that are by the island. She shrugs and goes back to the food I gave her.

Already attached are we?

He just shrugs and continues to hold her little waist in his hands, just watching her eat like it is the most fascinating thing ever. Bella rests her little head against Edward's chest after her sandwich is finished. She seems…happy.

Edward looks dumbfounded and pleased that the child likes him so much. "How old are, Bella?"

"Four and a half,"" she says proudly.

"You're a big girl, huh?"

"Mumma used to say that," Bella told him sadly, maybe a little dejected. Edward frowned down at her before he spoke again. It seemed to take him a while to come up with the words that came next. No one had expected Edward of all people to even shutter these words.

"Do you think you would ever want to live here, with my family and I," he asked almost in a whisper. Bella squirmed around until Edward turned her around.

"You want me," she asked to his chest.

"Yes I do."

A smiled curled up onto her little face and she slowly pulled her eyes up to his. She sat there just staring at him, and then threw her arms around his neck. Edwards sat there stunned for a minute before realizing that someone was showing affection, he actually liked it too! Shocking because Tanya never had that affect on him.

"Do you mean it? She can stay," I ask, not even trying to take the smile off of my face. He just smiled down at her and had to run out of the room to find Esme. Edward Cullen, Mr. Pessimist himself was wrapped around little Bella's finger.

BPOV

Rosalie is a very nice lady. She took me home to be with her family, but I don't know if they want me, because mumma left me alone. I think maybe she was mad at me but she wouldn't tell me. I like Rosalie though, she's very pretty and smart and nice!

I think she likes me too. She held me when I was sad 'cause mumma left me with all of those scary building. But I feel asleep on her because I was very tired and even a little hungry.

I woke up in a big comfy bed, but I didn't know whose it was, my bed at home was very small just like me! It had pretty pink princess sheets on it and my favorite teddy bear Mr. Bubbles was always my sleeping buddy.

But where did Rosalie go? Did she leave me; I didn't want her to leave me alone like mumma did. "Rosalie, I mumble." I don't think she can here me with that big door shut. I feel a frown on my face.

Before I know it Rosalie is in the room. It's like she could here me, like magic! I like magic, one time mumma took me and my friend Chloe to see a magician and he pulled a cute little bunny out of his hat and it hopped off the stage. It was very silly. Mumma told me I couldn't have a bunny because they were smelly. I didn't think so because how could a cute little bunny be all yucky?

"I thought you left," I say to the pretty lady, she is sitting on the bed. I crawl over to her and sit on her lap. She reminds me off mumma because she is very kind and nice. I like nice people like mumma. Maybe Rosalie could be my other mumma.

"No, sweetheart, I wouldn't leave you. Do you need anything at all, Bella?"

I put my face on her yellow shirt, she even smells pretty! I tell her that my tummy is very hungry and she tells me that she can make me dinner. I hope she cooks like mumma does; mumma makes the best mac and cheese ever.

Rosalie carries me down the stairs and I here other people talking and even a TV. Maybe if I'm a good girl she'll let me watch Handy Manny, he's my favorite, I like his tools too. They talk to people. I remember one time I was talking to mumma's hammer and asked it if it spoke a funny language like the on TV did, but it didn't answer me back. The hammer was very shy; he didn't even talk to mumma when she was fixing the shed.

Rosalie asks me if I would like to meet her family. I nod my head but my face gets all hot because I am very shy around new people. I hope they are all nice like Rosalie is. When she places me down on the ground I see one, two, three, four people. I counted them all by myself.

First, Roaslie tells me two of them are her mommy and daddy, they smile at me and one says hello. They are very pretty looking too just like Rosalie, but I don't think anyone is as lovely as her. They seem very nice to me, just like how mumma was.

Next, there is a big man named Emmett. He is very large compared to me. I don't say hi to him because he's just so big! I just smile at him, that's all.

Last she points to the boy staring at me, he's very pretty too! She says his name is Edward. I want to say hi to him but he doesn't talk first. I walk up to him and stare up at his pretty gold eye. He still won't talk to me so I decide I'm gunna tell him what I think about him.

"I think you're very pretty."

He reminds me of one of those people on mumma's soap operas, but prettier. I like pretty things, they make me happy. Edward just stares at me, but then he gives me a smile. It's crooked but I like it a lot. I want him to smile all the time, it will makes me happy. My breathing gets all funny for a second but it feels good. That is a very strange thing to happen to me. how could funny breathing be good.

Edward comes down so I can look at him easier and he tells me that he thinks I'm beautiful! Edward called me beautiful! A lady at the grocery store told mumma I was beautiful once. Mumma said I got my looks from daddy. I don't know what he looks like though, so she could have been lying. But mumma never lied so I believed her.

I want to touch his pretty hair but I don't know if he will get upset. My hand touches it anyway though. It's soft, like my purple blankie back at home. "It's pretty too, like your face. I like you," I decide.

He starts to laugh at me. I think he like what I said, mumma said when you say something nice to someone it was called a compliment. Edward liked my compliment because he tells me that he likes me. I like him to.

Rosalie takes me into the kitchen and asks me what I want for dinner because I am still very hungry. I tell her a Fluff sandwich with peanut butter. It's very yummy and she even gives me some milk to get all that sticky peanut butter down to my belly.

I look around the room and see Edward staring at me. Maybe he wants a bit of my sandwich, I like sharing with people. Maybe if I share Edward will smile his silly, pretty smile again.

"You want some," I ask quietly. He says no but he smiles. It makes me very happy again, just like before. I go back to my yummy sandwich and feel someone pick me up.

I stop eating and look up at Edward, because I'm in his arms now. He puts me down on his lap and hold on to me so I won't fall off of the big chair and bet a boo-boo. I finish the rest of my food and milk in all quiet. I think he is looking at me when I eat and I feel bad that he isn't eating too, but he told me to eat my food and mumma always said to listen to older people.

I lay back against his chest, its cold like Rosalie's, but I don't mind. I like the way he smells, it's different from how Rosalie smells, and I think I like it more. He asks me how old I am and I tell him I am four. I am very proud to be such a big girl now.

I think he notices because he asks me if I am a big kid and I tell him I am. I want Edward to like me because I like him very much. I like his as much as I like Rosalie. I tell him that mumma use to say I was a big girl, but it made me sad to think about her.

Edward was very quiet for a while but then he asked me if I wanted to live with him and his family. I try to turn around and face him. He noticed and helps me so I am looking right at his white sweater. I got to live with Edward and Rosalie and all the other nice people here, if they wanted me. Edward told me that he wanted me to be here and I was very excited.

I get a new family and I already love them so much. I hug Edward and h old onto him tight so he can't change his mind. I think he is happy because he hugs me back!
