Their Daisy- Twilight- Completed

Can't play happy families

Carlisle pov

I have been trying to adopt daisy for a month now. Its beyond difficult but I'm willing to do anything to make her part of this family. The other family in california are fighting hard for a child, and since they have known her file for longer and have younger children, the social services think it is a more homely fit, give daisy a chance at having a normal family rather than living with a bunch of teenagers. I know our life won't give her normal, but it's the closest thing daisy has had to a stable childhood

My cellphone rang as we were all watching a Charlie Chaplin film. I had been expecting a call from Mrs baker all day so the moment we heard the call, everyone turned to me and got ready to listen to the conversation. Daisy bounced up and down excitedly so Connor put his hands on her shoulders chuckling in order to calm her down

C: hello Mrs baker
MB: hello Mr cullen. I'm afraid I have some bad news and things havnt gone according to plan. The courts have given temporary custody of daisy to the family in california. I'm very sorry. Im not supposed to be telling you this but i wanted to prepare you before you get sent a letter. I believe daisy shall be given 2 days perhaps 3 to pack and say goodbye
C: is there nothing we can do?
MB: you can appeal. And since its only temporary custody, they are almost certain to take this to court. But the bottom line is, daisy will be going to california for the next couple of weeks as a trial run for this family
C: OK, we'll look into an appeal, thank you for calling
MB: no problem. I'll call you tomorrow morning when I have more information for you and daisy. Again, I'm so sorry, you make a wonderful family and I'm sure daisy has really benefited from this experience. Take care now
C: you too, thank you

Everyone's hopeful faces have fallen into one's of grief and despair. I don't even know what to do other than sit in my chair with my head in my hands

"It's not good...is it?" Daisy asks worried looking around. I sometimes forget she doesn't have vampire hearing. Everyone looks at one another, wondering how we break the news. Esme, who has her arm around daisy sits her down and I start to explain. I tell her everything I know

"No, no they can't do that. I wanna stay here, I wanna stay with you" daisy's lip wobbles as she looks around desperate for a solution but no one has anything to say

"We'll appeal it and keep trying until we get you home daisy. You are part of this family and we will find a way, just please, be patient. I know it'll be difficult, but you can't run away, otherwise they won't let anyone adopt you" I try to tell her

"Darling, we need you to put up with this family for us. Just stay in their house. Be polite but you don't have to like them, only have to stay there so we have time to find a solution and bring you home" jasper tells her but by this point, she is crying into roses shoulder

"It isn't fair" she yells angrily standing up

"I know, but we will find a way" Edward promises

"You think you're the first people to tell me that? You don't think I heqr it constantly from governers, councillors, social workers, Foster parents. All I ever hear is that they will fix the problems no one else can, it's false fucking home Edward!" Daisy screams at him

"Daisy-" emmet is interrupted

"No, I'm going into town. I'll be fine, I'm sorry I just need to clear my head" she chokes up, grabbing her skateboard and leaving. Jasper storms up to his room, slamming the door loudly, rattling the house

"Carlisle...what if we can't adopt daisy?" Alice asks in the silence. I sigh knowing its not a pretty answer

"Then we wait 3 years"

"What happens in 3 years?" Emmet asks

"She turns 18, no longer controlled by the system, free to live where they please. For most us kids, we though of aging out of the system as an act of freedom until it happens and you realise people only cared about you for funds" Connor replies

"So when she's 18, daisy can come back and live with us without social sticking their nose in?" Rose asks

"That's correct. But hopefully, it won't take that long, we'll have her home in months, not years"

I skate to town, taking the long way round because I can't cut through the woods. Stupid wolves. Stupid Carlisle. Stupid jasper. Stupid Mrs baker. Stupid Foster system. Stupid everything! I was finally happy! Why can't they let me be happy? Just for a little bit! It's all I ask, that I'm loved and with the cullens, I know I was loved. I made the mistake of loving them back. I always said, I don't love my foster parents because if rather run away than be dragged away. I'm sticking to my word. I'll run away, no way in hell am I being torn from my family unwillingly

I get on a bus, taking one last look at forks before it drives away. Gone, far away, out of sight, out of mind. This time, I'll make sure they don't fucking find me. Those Stupid coppers thinking they know best. I'm just fine without anyone, alone, I'm safer. Maybe...when it's safe...I'll come back, I'll come back and I'll find jasper and i can be with him. But...but I think it's wishful thinking. In 3 years, they won't remember me. In 3 years, anything could've happened. I could easily be dead (no complaints). I don't care what happens, so long as for now, I'm far away from the heart ache. Free to do what I want, when I want.

No wolves

No Carlisle

No jasper

No Mrs baker

No Foster system

No anything

Just me....alone...how its meant to be

Time jump ahead
