THE TALE OF ELIZABETH CULLEN

Two years after the events of New Moon.

Bella and Edward are on their way to Alaska, to visit Tanya and her coven. Last month, Bella finally accepted Edward's proposal. After their wedding, Edward will bite her.

They are going to invite Tanya personally to come to the wedding. And also because Bella is keen on seeing the vampires whom Edward ran to, the day she first met him.

"Will they like me?" Bella wondered to herself. She didn't ask Edward this because the answer was very clear anyway. She turned her gaze towards Edward's angelic face. He was watching her too, his eyes full of love. Pure, joyous love. Bella giggled silently. It was hard to believe that in a few weeks, they would be married.

Edward heard her giggle. "What's so funny?" He asked her, a quizzical look forming on his perfect face. " Nothing…I'm just very happy. That's all." He laughed his musical laugh and squeezed her left hand.

Outside the dark,tinted windows of Carlisle's Mercedes, the world passed by in a blurry flash of light, mixed with the grayish image of the cloudy sky. Bella was so accustomed to Edward's madman pace of driving, that she barely noticed it. Soon, they were nearly at Tanya's home.

Edward slowed his driving to a more acceptable pace, but it was still quite fast. He then stopped in front of a white, 3-storey house, with an old feel and look to it. He was out of the car and opening Bella's door before she could even unbuckle her seatbelt. Bella smiled as Edward, ever the gentleman, helped her out of the car.

"I'm not that fragile, Edward." she told him, half-jokingly, "You don't have to do this all the time ,you know." Edward shrugged and, as if he purposely wanted to ignore everything she had just said, scooped her up gently into his arms and begin to carry her towards the house.

"Edward, you really don't need to, I can walk." she whispered into his ear, her breath warm on his neck. "Besides, won't it be a bit strange if Tanya opens the door and sees me in your arms?" she asked innocently, still whispering, an amused edge in her voice.

"I don't care, I like doing this, Bella." Her heart skipped a beat when he said her name. "Alright, but still I think I should have two feet on the ground when I meet them." She pressed.

"Hmm. Okay, there you go." He effortlessly placed Bella on the wooden porch area of the house and kissed her lightly on her left cheek. They walked forward to the main door, Edward's arm around her waist. He knocked on the door twice. There was no answer.

"Maybe they're not home." Bella suggested. "No. They're here. I can hear them." Edward muttered. He knocked again, louder and longer this time, with a bit of urgency, as well, Bella noted. "What's wrong, Edward?" she asked him, knowing the anxious look on his face.

"Shhh." He put a finger to her lips, his usual habit when he wanted her to stop speaking. A look of pure absolute concentration passed over his face, but was quickly erased by another look. A look of shock and fear. Bella's big, brown eyes grew wider than usual as she realized Edward had disappeared.

"Edward!" She called, anxiety and confusion starting to simmer inside her. 'What was going on here?' she thought, her mind dizzied by the turn of events. Suddenly, as quickly as he had gone, he was back.

"Edward, what's going on? What happened?" she asked, not bothering to mask her confusion. Edward looked undecided as he motioned for her to follow him. She followed him, of course, to the back of the surprisingly, silent house.

There was an open door behind the house and Bella peeked inside, while walking closely behind Edward. The house looked like a tornado had hit it. Everything was in disarray. The dining chairs and tables were overturned and several dishes and teacups, which had probably been arranged for a little tea-time, were all smashed into pieces.

Bella frowned. Unless there had been human company over, the preparation for a tea-time, complete with cups and plates, seemed a little superfluous and pointless to her, especially if you were a vampire. Edward was headed in the direction of a small storage shed, hidden behind some green shrubbery.

"Keep close to me, Bella." His voice pierced the eerie silence which she hadn't noticed before. She obeyed. He made a low growling noise, so quiet she realized he was speaking, but at a speed so fast she couldn't decipher his words.

And then, they were in front of Edward and her. A slim, tall brunette with shoulder-length hair and eyes the same color as Edward's liquid gold. Beside her, another equally tall vampire stood, with the same eye and hair color as the first, except her hair had golden highlights in it. She was holding something in her arms. Something bundled inside a pink cotton blanket, which made a small cry as it was handed over to Edward.

Bella was shell-shocked. It was a baby. Edward took the child and nodded silently to the pair. And then, a slight wind rustled the green shrubs nearby, and as abruptly as they had appeared, the two had once again disappeared. Edward turned towards Bella and whispered, "Let's go."

She seemed to be uncomprehending for a moment, before understanding dawned on her eyes and she followed him silently back to the waiting Mercedes. He carefully handed her the little baby and said, "Take care of her."

She nodded seriously. The life of this baby was in danger. She knew that much. He opened the door for her and she slowly slid inside the car. He shut the door and was in the driver's seat momentarily. The key turned and Edward hit the accelerator. Hard. The car bolted and was speeding down the highway back to Forks, an instant later.

Later. In Forks. At the Cullen's mansion.

Bella and Edward are inside his room, the baby girl still in her arms.

"I understand," Bella said finally. "So what should we do with her now?" she asked him, her eyes begging him to make the right decision, and not think about her safety for once.

To think of the baby girl she was holding. She looked down at the baby's sweet face. She was asleep, as she had been the whole ride back to Forks.

"We keep her," was all Edward could say, when he saw the motherly expression on Bella's face as she rocked the baby girl gently, to and fro. He couldn't say anything else. He was awed by this side of Bella. The side he had never seen before. He made a decision there and then, a vow to be more exact. He would protect this child. The same way he protected Bella. The precious sight of Bella rocking the baby was too beautiful and he could feel the love which emanated from Bella when she looked at the child, who was a victim of unfair circumstance and coincidence.

"What should we name her?" Bella asked him, keeping her gaze on the baby.

"I'm not sure…what would you like?" Edward shifted slowly and sat next to Bella on the sofa.

"Hmm…," Bella looked thoughtful for a moment. "How about your mother's name?" she replied, a smile curving her lips upwards. "My mother's name? You mean Elizabeth?" he said, thinking carefully for about a split-second before deciding.

"It's perfect," he told her.

"Elizabeth Cullen, welcome to Forks," Bella whispered to her new daughter quietly.
