***********I’d like to dedicate this to everyone who read this and commented and became a fan********************
I’m really happy! Now that I have a computer in my room I will be posting more. A lot more. Thanks to everyone and I also have a book cover for this. I really wanted a picture that fit for when she was a baby and when she grew older but I didn’t know how that would work so I found an adorable picture of Edward kissing a baby. The baby was Renesmee but for the book it’ll be Bella. Basically in the story you’ll just see how he raises Bella and then how he falls in love with her once she’s older.
I also changed my profile name and picture!
My new name is MetallicRain but I like to be called Rain. Hope you enjoy this!

Recap-
Rocking her back and fourth. I told her that I would never let anything hurt her. I told her I would love her even if no one would. I told her I would always be her friend even if the world turned their backs on her. I would always be here. Forever. Which was true. I would always be here. She had nothing to worry about. Right before her eyelids dropped she whispered “Edward?"
"Yes" I wanted to hear her say my name again. For she had the most beautiful voice.
" I trust you" then her eyelids dropped and her face became peaceful. I could watch her sleep for years. Not that I had anything better to do.
Yes, I loved her . Too much.
What the hell am I going to do now?
Chapter3 {Edward}
When I walked home with Bella in my arms I made sure to walk as slow as possible, singing softly in Bella’s ear. I considered the fact that Alice had seen Bella and I. They’d be planning the outcome.
But I couldn’t bear to think of her at an orphanage. And most selfishly I could not imagine her happy with a normal family. But what pained me most was that she living with the Cullen’s was not an option.
She was human, we were not. And even with my three-hundred years of experience I could still snap. Her scent was not as potent as humans were because she was only a child. Her scent only made my throat burn slightly leaving an uncomfortable feeling. I would not hurt her.
She was important now. She was now my main concern. If I just had more time to weigh my options…
I’ll live through this, I reminded myself. As if I had a choice.
As I came closer to the house I became more anxious. I stopped in my tracks and looked straight ahead without focusing my eye sight on anything.
I felt so out of place carrying her home even though I knew that it was too late to put her back. I couldn’t help but stand there confused and frustrated wondering what I was going to do. I looked back for the last time then looked at Bella.
Her eyes were closed into a peaceful sleep, Her chocolate brown hair hung around her face. I brushed a soft strand of hair out of her face. I smiled. It were times like these when I didn’t have to try to drown everyone out of my head. But this was the only time that I could enjoy someone being near me and not having to listen to their thoughts even though I was very curious about her.
“Bella” I whispered softly. She did not even stir. I fixed her purple dress in place and she sighed. It was getting colder in the Alaska evening and I began to run. I continued to run with a little more confidence because I was doing this for her.
************************************************************
Once I got to the clearing of our house, Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett, and Esme were all standing on the porch. Alice comes running down the stairs.
“Bella” she screamed.
“ Alice. What’s wrong with you? She’s sleep” I hissed under my breath. But it was too late. Bella stirred in my arms and blinked a few times. She shivered.
“Edward?” she looked around. Alice stood in front of us. Rosalie and Emmett came behind her. I looked at them not sure if I could trust them enough with her and then Emmett made me look at him twice.
Emmett was wearing a huge grin on his face. I held her back selfishly.
“Where am I?” Her brown eyes searched.
“We’re just outside of my house” I answered. Then Emmett grabbed her out of my arms, swinging her around screaming “Whee” She looked terrified.
I panicked. I started to worry if he were gripping her too tight or maybe too lose that she’d fall out of his hands. She already looked too fragile.
“It’s a Baby” He hugged her and sat her down on her feet.
“Don’t call me a baby” she put one hand on her small hip and Alice giggled. “Only Edward can call me Baby” Emmett frowned.
“How come Edward gets to call you a baby?” he asked. Which made me curious.
“Because Edward is my friend and he loves me” She held her arms out to me and I picked her up. Everyone glared at me. Yes, I was attached to her and in skin deep.
“Edward. Take Bella up to the guest bedroom and we’ll discuss this when Carlisle comes home” Esme said. She gracefully sat on the railing near the entrance of the house.
“Esme” Alice and Emmet chimed. I walked around them, up the stairs, past Esme. I felt as though I were in trouble but the worst would only happen when Carlisle told me that Bella would have to leave and that it was my responsibility to find her a place to live, a family.
I opened the glass door and merely slammed it behind me. Esme shot me a look of disapproval. I put Bella on her feet and she took off to the stairs. She started to climb , her small legs and baby pull-ups showing. I followed her patiently and at one point when the stairs began to twist she had to use the her hands to help her.
She looked up in amazement once she saw the many graduation caps she fully stood up. “What are those?” she asked and pointed. I couldn’t help but smile.
“Graduation caps.” I answered.
“May I touch them” I nodded, picked her up and she a ran her small hand over the fabrics.
“Who’s are these?”
“They’re my family” I answered, careful not to go in any details. I gently placed her on her feet and she slowly climbed the stairs to the top. I led her to the guest bed room a few doors from my room.
I opened the door and inside there was a plain purple bed and a TV.
“Are you tired? ” I asked her and she nodded dramatically.
She ran to the bed and tried to climb but the bed was too high up for her. I picked her up and sat her in the middle of the bed. I decided that it was best if I stayed with her. I lay down next to her and turned on the TV. I tried not to listen to my family’s thoughts and commotion down stairs. I tried not to listen if I could help it. Bella watched a little bit of cartoons before she told me that she was not enjoying it one bit. I laughed and turned to a show that had young teenagers doing dry comedy. Although when she laughed I stopped moving completely. Downstairs became quiet and it seemed like there were no noise in our still silence home.
Her laughter was high pitched and musical, unique. I had never heard such a beautiful sound. It was something that I wanted to hear again, and would find anything to make her laugh.
I hope where ever she goes that I’ll be able to see her again, I thought. She smiled at me and I couldn’t help but smile back and stroke her soft cheek with my thumb. This time she did not flinch at my cold skin.
“Do you have a book?” she asked me. I was surprised that she would be interested in books. I started to think. Books? A book for her? A children’s book? I don’t think so. Never seen a child’s book in any one of our houses.
Then their was a light tap on the door. Alice.
“What do you want, Alice?” I muttered and lightly put an arm around Bella. The door swing opened. Alice stood there with a hand of books.
“I just thought you would need these” she skipped in and placed the books on the bed, Bella’s eyes lit up. I spread all the books out on full display and realized that these were perfect for her, old classic fairytales. The ones my biological mother had given me three hundred and seventy six years ago. A knot roused in my throat
“Alice. Where did you get these?”
“In some of our old things” she slid on the bed and reached out for Bella’s hand. “Hi” she said softly.
“Hi” Bella grinned and I didn’t feel as cautious that Alice was so close to her.
“May I read you a story, Bella” I asked and she nodded. I picked up a book that I remembered my mother reading to me and studied the cover. Alice stroked Bella’s fingers once more and sprung off the bed.
“I guess I should go” she brushed down her black skirt.
“Can Alice stay for the story?” Bella asked in her sweetest voice.
“You can stay for the story, Alice” I could not resist her. Alice ran to the other side of the bed and Bella scooted over near me. I breathed in her scent and it made my throat burn just a bit, she smelled sweet almost as sweet as sweet as vanilla, blood. Alice sat on the other side of Bella and we sat so close to her that she shivered. I pulled the crochet blanket around her and she snuggled in. Alice took a piece of Bella’s hair into two fingers and I shot her a glance
Sorry. Just trying to see what I’ll be working with,
she thought. I relaxed into the bed ,even though it was unnecessary, and began the story I had longed to read for what seemed forever.
