In the end there is Love Part 16:
Artie arrived at Julia's house a few minutes later, he explained what happened to Rosie's parents and begged her to give the poor child a happy life.

Julia promised she would try to give Rosie the best life possible, Julia came from an abusive situation so she could understand how Rosie needed a positive environment. She would need to go through all sorts of hoops to actually get to keep Rosie but she would do her best. From the first moment Julia held her she knew she would do anything for this poor little girl.

Artie could see Rosie was in good hands and he had to get back to his wife and kids so he bid Julia a goodbye and promised to check in with her frequently.

Rosie was filthy, she looked as though she hadn't been bathed in at least a week, she had a killer diaper rash too.

Julia got her cleaned up and in some nice fresh jammies and put to bed in the crib she was lucky enough to find in the second hand store in town.

Rosie had a comfortable nights sleep for the first time in a long time, she didn't cry at all it didn't hurt that Edward was there to help her feel safe.

Rosie quickly learned to say momma but said very few other words except Edwaa...she was very delayed in most of her milestones, she was closing in on three rapidly and wasn't even close to potty trained. Julia understood that she was delayed from coming from a very disfunctional household. She accepted her daughter without complaint and worked hard to make her feel loved and accepted.

Weeks went by, Julia and Rosie slowly got used to each other, Rosie still had a bucketload of issues but Julia was trying to ease the child into a calm, stable way of life.

Julia's friend and boss from work had recently adopted a little boy named Jasper, due to a bunch of playdates their parents set up the kids became good friends, Ja-per was Rosie's third word.

Connor and Julia became even better friends through their kids playdates...

Connor had always had a thing for Julia, he kept his feeling locked up tight though.

Rosie liked Rowan (Jasper's IF), but nowhere near as much as she adored her Edward...
