BPOV
Two weeks after my change, we went shopping. Since human blood smelled gross to me there was no danger of me going out. If anyone asked about my change in appearance we could blame it on Alice and say she gave me a makeover. We also got contacts for me that was the same shade as my old eyes. Alice insisted on buying me a new wardrobe and Edward and I needed to get furniture for our room. Everyone except Carlisle went. We had just finished getting the furniture and had walked into Nordstrom's when it happened. Alice and Jasper saw a little boy holding his mothers hand. They just stood there with the strangest expression on their face. My power is similar to Edwards, it's telepathy. I am able to send people thoughts then, once I send them one, I can read theirs. I kept sending them "what happened" over and over again. They were thinking of that child and only that child. They were thinking of how much they loved him and wanted to know his name, how they wanted to protect him from everything, and watch him grow up.
"What's happening?" I whispered to Edward.
"It's true."
"What is?"
"Alice and Jasper… They imprinted."
"What?!" I had to be careful to stay whispering.
"Legends say that vampires can imprint. It's not like werewolves where they find their soul mates. Instead we can imprint on children and love them like parents. Once you do, you do whatever you can to protect them and allow them to live a good life. I read it in a book Carlisle has. I didn't believe it. Even if it is true though, it is very rare. Before this, obviously, none of us have imprinted."
I stood there shocked. Everyone, except Edward, kept asking me in their thoughts what was happening. Finally I was able to send the information. Alice started jumping up and down, talking at vampire speed about all the things she was going to buy him, and then stopped because she was having a vision. Jaspers, on the other hand, was excited, but being more logical.
"What are we going to tell his mom? I don't know how she would react if we told her we were vampires and loved her son. She might think we would suck his blood."
"I KNOW WHAT TO DO," Alice practically yelled. "We tell her that we are looking for a job and would love to watch her son. Then we make up some whole babysitting thing and say we have a lot of experience. And we can tell her that she can be in the house the whole time if she would be more comfortable that way. It's going to work. I saw it. I CAN'T WAIT!!"
Alice was, of course, right. The child's name was Josh Ellis and his mom, Carol, said that they could come over the next day so they could all get to know each other. Once they said goodbye, Alice got straight to work on buying anything and everything she could for Josh. Meanwhile, Esme, Rosalie, and I shopped for something to wear tonight. One of Carlisle's co-workers, Daniel Conner, invited all of us over this afternoon so both families could meet each other. He had invited us for dinner, but since we don't eat, we said we had plans later tonight.
The men went to J. Crew. We went inside Anne Taylor. Rosalie and I didn't find anything, but Esme got a satin scoop neck that was black, lime green and white, black denim capris, and black platform wedges. We went to Forever 21. Rosalie got a striped dress that had a v-neck, and sleeves covering most of her shoulders. Her shoes were cream colored and platform heels. She looked gorgeous as always. I got a blue knit baby doll dress. The bottom and bodice was ruched. Then I got some navy wedges to go with it. Thank God I was a vampire and had grace, because my human self would've tripped very easily since the heel was 4.5 inches. Alice already had an outfit from Nordstrom's. It was bright lime green. She had also bought shoes from Forever 21 that were short white wedges.
We all met at the food court. Alice had 14 bags filled with stuff for Josh. All together everything she bought must have cost thousands of dollars. Edward and Emmett got clothes for Jasper and Carlisle too. When we got home Alice pulled me to her room and started getting me ready. She curled the bottom of my dark brown hair. She put silver eye shadow on me mixed with a little bit of blue, black eyeliner and mascara, a little bit of blush, and pale pink lip gloss. I have to admit I looked pretty good. I went downstairs to wait for everyone else. All the guys were there already.
"You look beautiful," Edward said. The whole time he kept his eyes on her.
"So do you, as always."
"I love you."
"I love you too. Now and forever, literally." Before I knew it his lips were on mine. We kissed passionately for what felt like forever.
"Break it up you love birds, we have to go," teased Emmett.
"You two, Alice, and Jasper go in the Volvo. The rest of us will take my car," said Carlisle.
We split up into the cars. Edward drove, I sat in the passenger seat, and Alice and Jasper sat in back. Edward gave me a peck on the cheek before following Carlslie out the drive way. He sighed a little because Carlslie was driving slower than usual since we were going over to a human family's house. I was a little nervous since I hadn't really interacted with humans since my change. Jasper, noticing my emotion, calmed me down.
We pulled into the Conner's driveway. It was a beautiful house. We walked quickly, but not at vampire speed, to the door and rang the bell. A woman answered the door. She was beautiful, but not as beautiful as we all unnaturally were.
"Hi I'm Sarah Conner. Daniel's wife. Please come in."
We walked in and stood by the front door. When the door closed a man walked over and put his hands on Sarah's shoulders.
"Hello. I'm Daniel."
"Hello Daniel and Sarah. Pleasure to see you again. This is my son Edward and his wife Bella, my daughter Alice and her husband Jasper, my son Emmett and his wife Rosalie, and my wife Esme."
We all said hi and shook their hands.
"How was your ride over here," asked Daniel, leading us into the living room.
There on the floor playing was a little girl playing with a kitchen set and a baby lying in a baby swing. I looked at them and froze. Edward did the same. I automatically fell in love with them. But it was a different kind of love. One I had never felt before. Then I realized what happened. We had imprinted.
