E POV

It has been just over a year since we found Bella; her birthday was just four days ago. We decided her birthday was going to be the date we found her and had all the proper documents drawn up. It made sense and reminded Rosie and I just how lucky we were and how our life changed for the better that day.

I can still remember the first week Carlisle and Esme came to stay with us and how much they fell in love with their grand-daughter, now they are here for a few days every other month. Just like us they could not stand to be away from Bella for to long, plus I think something was seriously wrong on the home front. You could literally see how Esme's mood would change as she drove up the drive. The haunted look would vanish and pure happiness would take over. Bella just had that effect on people.

Bella has grown so much in the last year, she's such very smart girl and loves to learn. Her bond with Jasper is still a mystery to us all but it is still as strong as ever if not more so. Jazz has started to follow her around now instead of her following him. We would be sitting down watching T.V, then all of a sudden he would get up and just follow her out of the room. Now don't get me wrong she still hangs onto his legs when someone is around and no-one is allowed to touch him still but it seems to have evened out now with possessiveness. He is just as bad as she was when she first came to us, except when he growls people run.

Flashback;

"Daddy," my little angel called from upstairs.

Not wasting any time I made my way to see what was wrong -at human pace- to see her playing with her dolls in her bedroom, Jazz not in sight.

"Yes princess?" I asked walking over to sit next to her .

"I need to go potty." she said to me and started wiggling side to side. My Rosie usually takes care of the potty involved moments but she was out hunting right then.

"Ok baby girl, come on," I said taking her hand and walking her into the bathroom, turning my back when she shouted at me not to look. As soon as I opened the door I came face to face with Jazz who bent down scooped Bella up and walked her back down to her room almost as if I wasn't allowed to walk her there.

Chuckling under my breath, I went back to play my X-Box. I was sure I would never understand those two.

End

That was the first time her ever got possessive of her, even though that was very mild. Now when ever she wanted something he would be the one to get it or if she wanted to go somewhere he would take her. He even tried to take away my bedtime story telling but I had to put my foot down. There may be some funky bond between them but she was my daughter and that was my thing; every night I tucked her in and told her a story. I did'nt want to miss a moment of her growing up and it seemed to go by so fast that I sometimes had to remind my self that she was not stuck, unmoving through time like the rest of us. Humans aged and grew. And I hated it.

Rosie has never been so content or peaceful. She is always smiling and nice to people now, it's like having Bella melted the cold hard attitude she hid behind. She loves Bella with all her heart and always will. She was just what Rose needed and was missing in this life. She was finally letting go of the past and embracing our future. I know with every fiber of my being that Rosie loves me but sometimes what she had missed out on in her human life overshadows the happiness that this life has brought.

I was brought out of my thoughts by Bella tugging on my pants leg and calling me.

"Yes princess?"I asked her while taking her up into my arms and rubbing my nose against hers causing a high pitched giggle to escape.

"When is Nanny and Papa coming to visit?" She asked, cutely. Her cheeks a beautifull blushing red from laughing.

It has been a little over 2 months since the last time they came; they were having trouble with Edward and Alice. Apparently Alice wanted to find Jazz and take him back. Ha.

And Edward was obsessed with finding someone he saw in one of Alice's visions. Those two just could'nt help but cause trouble and unrest in the family.

Carlisle and Esme refused to tell them where we were living, so they were following them around constantly and Edward was trying to pry it out of there minds. Fair to say they did not want to come here for fear that they would be followed- besides, the three of us had no desire whatsoever to see them or for them to meet Bella. Ever. It would be a cold day in hell that I would ever let them be any sort of influence in Bella's life.

"Nanny and Papa are very busy at the moment, but they will come to see you soon, ok?" I told her while stroking her long chocolate coloured hair.

She had been with Jasper all morning and I was glad that I could just hold her for awhile, she still searched me out for a cuddle randomly every now and then. Letting me know she loved me every time she would snuggle up in my arms. While he hunted I clutched her to my chest and turned on Spongebob . A bit later, her breathing evened out and her thumb fell from her mouth.

Flashback;

I could hear Bella playing with her dolls in the living room with Spongebob on in the background, when there was a little thud and Bella whimpered.

"OW! NAWTY TABLE!" she shouted, then I heard another louder thud and a gasp.

"DADDY!" my little princess screamed.

I ran into the front room at a human pace to see what was wrong. I knew that if Bella got mad she would try and dole out justice herself. And with her mothers temper that was never a good thing, best to get there quick and sort it myself rather than deal with Hell Bells.

She was standing next to the coffee table holding her doll up for me to see. She had the cutest little frown with a confused expression on her face and her head tilted to the side while she looked at it as well.

"Daddy the table huwt my dolly," my little angel lisped as she held the body of the doll in her small hand while the head hug loosely over one shoulder - I could not help but laugh.

"Oh no baby, what happened?" I questioned, trying to be serious. But failing.

"The table kicked my toe, so my dolly hit it with her head and it fell off," she answered seriously.

Still trying to keep a straight face, I walked over to her and took her doll gently telling her I would fix her up. She nodded, smiled at me then glared at the table huffing, she then walked over to pick up another doll to play with.

End.

I grinned at the memory. She was growing up so fast and it felt like I had found her only yesterday, but she's been with us for a little over a year and I could not be any happier. She has become our world.

Jasper came home a little while later, took Bella and curled up in his chair. He read to my sleeping daughter - every now and then he would hold her all night long instead of putting her in bed.

He loves her so much - I can see it in his eyes but I don't mind. I know one day she'll be dating and she will settle down so if Jazz is the man she wants then I couldn't be more happy for them. He deserved to be happy after what Alice did to him and hopefully my baby girl will be the one to bring him that happiness.

When she is old enough she will start to notice how different we are and will want to know what we are and I can't wait until I can tell her. I know Rosie will not like it but I will never give her up and if she wants to be one of us then she will be. I can't - I won't lose my daughter.

She has brought the sun shine back to our gloomy lives and I don't think anyone of us could go back to the dark after having Bella's light for so long. They say there is no love like a parents for their child and I must say I agree. I would give anything to Bella-boo even if it meant changing her, I would .
