Oh Baby!
I do not own Twilight or any of its characters. That's Stephenie Meyer!
Bella's 18 month old cousin, Hailey, came to forks with Bella's aunt Carla for a visit.
Bella gets to thinking about how her life would change if she had a baby.
So does Edward.
Suck at summaries :P
xXxBella's POVxXx
Finally, we saw their Chevrolet Suburban pull up on our grass. I smiled as I saw my Aunt Carla get out on the passenger side. She went around to get Hailey from her carseat, while my uncle Dave got out of the drivers seat.
Aunt Carla bounded up the steps with Hailey in her arms. "You wanna hold her, Bella," she asked. I looked at her, dumbfounded. I didn't know the first things about babies, thats why I planned on not having babies, not that I had a choice, since Edward is a vampire. She smiled, as if to read my mind. "I'm not asking you to change her diaper or anything, just hold her," she insisted. She handed me the now awake baby. As soon as she was in my arms, she started giggling. Her smile brought a smile to mine and everyone else face, then everyone was giggling.
After everyone was inside, baby Hailey still in my arms, my aunt said, " Gosh Bella, your so big! And your pretty!" Thanks. " I bet you have all the boys chasing after you," she winked. Before I had a chance to tell her about Edward, Charlie cut in. " She has a boyfriend, Edward, and she's head over heels for him," he grunted. "I guess you don't like him Charlie," my Uncle Dave asked. Before my dad was about to dump "the six months of depression" time period, I tried to change the subject. " Actually, he should be on his way over by now, you would love him Carla." She always did take a liking to younger boys. Hailey started squirming in my arms. I looked down to see that she had fallen asleep. She looked so peaceful and happy and so worry- free.
Charlie, Carla, and Dave were in a deep conversation about Hailey. I was still focused on Hailey's sleeping figure. Different emotions flashed across her face. Happiness. Fun. A brief of sadness at first, but then back to happiness. I would kill to know what she was thinking. I wondered if that was what Edward felt like with me. Speaking (thinking) of Edward, where was he?
As if on cue, the doorbell rang. I adjusted Hailey in my arms and walked to the door. My heartbeat raced as I started to open it, because I knew what was on the other side. A God. I gasped at the sight before me. Golden bronze hair, topaz eyes, and a smile that broke all the girls hearts. He raised his eyebrow at the baby in my arms. "This is my cousin, Hailey, remember I told you that my aunt, uncle, and cousin were visiting. Come in," I said with a smile. I lead him to the couch were my Aunt Carla was staring. "Edward, this is my Uncle Dave and My aunt Carla, you already met Hailey," I said, gesturing towards the baby, who is now waking up. Short nap. "Guys, this is my BOYFRIEND, Edward," I said, making sure I was clear on the boyfriend. "Well hello Edward, it's a pleasure to meet you. Bella, you never told me how cute he was," Aunt Carla exclaimed. I blushed lightly at that. "Look she still blushes, Dave, oh I bet you love that Edward, isn't she a cutie," she said, pulling at my cheeks. Ok, now she was doing it on purpose. "I love her blush, I love when she bites her lip, I guess I love her," Edward announced happily. I had to smile at him. I decided to tune them out for the rest of the night. I kept tickling Hailey and playing with her hair. Edward even got to hold her. When I seen him with a child, it light up my heart. he would make a great father. I decided to erase that memory because I knew it was impossible to have children with Edward, but it was worth it.
That night, the image of a minature Edward running around the house with a diaper on kept popping up in my head. It made me feel bubbly when I thought of another Edward in my life, but it also made me feel guilty to know that Edward could never give me that. "What are you thinking?" Edward asked, interrupting my thoughts. I sighed. "As always, I'm thinking of you." It wasn't a total lie, I was thinking about him. "Hmmm.." he said thoughtfully. I smiled as he started to sing my lullaby, blackness soon taking over me.
Ok, I think I'm gonna make 2-3 more chapters before calling it quits. As always with ExB it will be a happy ending. PLEASE REVIEW!
