Raising Patricia Cullen ch.1 Meeting the rest of the family for the first time.
(Bella's POV)
It's been two and a half months since Patricia was born. She was such an amazing baby. She rarely cried unless she need to be feed changed or if she wanted someone. Edward started his internship under dad two weeks ago at the hospital. Today they would be coming home early with the rest of the family who finished college last week. I walk into the front room where Patricia is laying in her swing. She gurgles at me.
"What's up sweet pea?" I ask as I sit next to her. She gurgles more and I pick her up. She sighs as she lays her head down on my chest. I kiss her forehead and hold her close to me.
"How is she?" mom ask as she comes in.
"Fine she just wants to lay in my arms." I say a mom nods as she strokes the back of Patricia's head.
"Your father texted they will he home in about twenty minutes" Mom ays and i nod.
"I should probably change her so Alice doesn't have a fit" I say looking down at the plain purple onesie and pair of white pants I had on her. Mom laugh.
"Yeah probably" she says and I stand up and head upstairs to the nursery. I set Patricia down in her crib and she starts fussing.
" Shh its ok sweet girl mommy just need to get you another outfit." I say and go to her closet and pull out a onesie with a tutu around the waist and matching pants and socks out of the dresser.
I grab the matching flower had band from the accessory shelf in her closet. I quickly change her and pick her back up. She stops fussing and grabs onto my finger
. I head back downstairs and go to the kitchen. Mom hold her arms out and i let her take Patricia. She fusses softly and mom bounces her gently until she stops. I grab a snack and sit down at the table to eat. As soon as i finish the front door opens.
"BELLA" Alice yells and Patricia starts crying. Mom hands her to me and goes to scold Alice. Edward flints to my side.
"Alice scared her" I say ad Edward takes Patricia from me and start to coo to her. She relaxes immediately and snuggles into him.
"Daddy's girl" I say and he smiles.
"Your siblings are waiting" Dad says as he walks in. I sigh and Edward and I move into the living room.
"O my gosh she's adorable" rose says. I smile and Edward hold Patricia's head up a little.
"Little one this is the rest of our crazy family" he says softly to her and mom and dad laugh and rose and Alice glare.
"Let's see who do you want to go to first" Edward asks our daughter.
"I'll take her" Alice says and i look at her nervously. Edward hands our daughter to her and she coos and talks to her.
"Hey baby girl I'm your auntie Alice, we'll have so much fun shopping with you. I'll make sure you're not like your mommy who hates shopping" Alice says and Patricia starts to fuss.
"Here give her to me" rose says softly and takes my daughter in her arms. She smiles as she hold her.
"Hi sweet pea I'm your auntie rose and I'm going to make sure you are spoiled rotten" she says and dad and mom look at her to make sure she's behaving and not acting like her mother. She quiets down and rose continues to hold her.
" She's beautiful Bella thank you for giving me a little miracle to love" rose says.
"Rose" em hisses.
"Rose I want make it clear to you now, she is my baby and even though when I'm changed you might be taking care of her doesn't mean you can become her mother" I say and rose nods. Patricia starts to fuss again and em takes her.
"Hello my little niece" em says and Patricia stares at him before starting to cry. Alice, mom, dad and rose chuckle at the face Patricia made before she started crying,
"Uncle jazzy you're the last one" I say.
"I can't" jasper says and backs up from my daughter.
"Yes you can you never hurt me before"" I say.
"You were bigger than this though when we got you" he says.
"I know but if Emmett who is the biggest of you guys can hold her without hurting her you can to just don't use your power on her, she doesn't need to become addicted to it like I am" I say but chuckle at the last part. Emmett hold my daughter out to him. He sighs and takes her into his arms and she stops crying instantly.
"He's not using his power love" Edward says and kisses my forehead.
"Hi baby girl" he says in his southern accent that I loved when I was a child. Patricia look up at him in fascination and I laugh. She sighs in content and relaxes in his arms and I smile. We all sit down and dad puts the news on TV. Edward kisses my forehead.
"How was work today?" I ask.
"As to be expected" he says. "
Did you get puked on? Em asks.
"Thank god no, that a last week when the flu hit forks" Edward says.
"Speaking of work, Bella Patricia is going to need to come in for a checkup soon." Dad says and i nod. Patricia hearing dad's voice looks around and makes a noise.
"Shh it's alright sweet pea" jazz coos and holds my daughter a little closer to him.
"Patricia loves dad" Edward says to our confused siblings. For the rest of the evening my siblings try to bond with Patricia but at the end of the night she ends up sleeping on dad's chest.
"She's adorable" Alice says and takes a picture of her.
"She sure is" Rose says and I smile.
"I'll go lay her in her crib" dad says and gets up and walks towards her room.
"Oh by the way Bella I love the way her room is you and mom did good" Alice says.
"Thanks" I say and smile. I feel arms wrap round me and look over my shoulder and see Edward.
"You won't have to worry about Patricia tonight love everyone wants to help you with her" he says and i nod.
"I promise Bella I won't act like I did earlier" rose says seeing my look of doubt.
"Ok I trust you but if anyone needs to warn you I will have jasper and Alice take Patricia when I am changed instead of you" I say and she nods.
"Come love lets go to bed" Edward says and i nod and let him lead me upstairs and to our room.
