(Elizabeth POV)
I rocked my beautiful baby boy in my arms lethargically in the midday son, his father would not be home until dusk and the afternoon stretched before us like a glorious horizon. My little Edward gurgled merrily as a blackbird sang to its mate in the nearby blossom tree, my heart swelled with love for the miracle I held so tenderly to my chest, his surprisingly large emerald green eyes shone with excitement and admiration for the world around him. Sighing contentedly, I watched as a large black carriage pulled up to the house next to ours, a couple, of an age similar to my own lived there, they were a pleasant pair and we had formed a gentle friendship with them over the past year, myself and Renee Swan shared pregnancy stories and concerns while our husbands talked of politics and war. I knew that their return meant that their baby had been born, I sat in anticipation bouncing Edward absent mindedly as he giggled and twisted in my grasp, the carriage door swung open and a tall, broad shouldered man stepped out: Charles Swan. He subsequently helped his wife out of the buggy and I craned my neck to get a better view of the small bundle she cradled in her arms. "Shall we go and say hello to the new arrival Edward? You can make a new friend." I cooed to my dear son, the mystery baby cried quietly in its mothers arms as I carried Edward across the front lawn towards the happy family; Charles heard my footsteps and lifted his head glowing with pride.
"Elizabeth! It's a girl! Isabella, our little Isabella, I'm so pleased. Please, come and meet her, who knows maybe one day she will be the ideal match for your young son there." I smiled in agreement and joined them on the sidewalk in front of their home, Charles moved aside to allow me to stand next to Renee and admire their darling daughter who was still gasping and wailing slightly in the midday heat.
"Oh Renee, Charles, she's beautiful, simply perfect, congratulations! To both of you!" I told them honestly, tiny Isabella stared curiously up at me with large, chocolate brown, doe like eyes. "Hello Isabella, my name is Elizabeth, and this here is Edward, hopefully you will be great friends." I whispered kindly to the tiny baby, Edward wriggled in my arms, trying to get a better view of Isabella. I lifted him slightly so that he could see her properly and was amazed to hear him gurgle a sound of what could easily be described as admiration, abruptly little Isabella stopped crying and calmed instantly as if comforted by the emerald green eyes of my Edward, she then responded to his gurgle with an almost identical sound and we adults chuckled feeling both astounded and adoring.
"Looks like they certainly will be great friends, especially if he can keep her quiet that easily, he's been much more successful than Charles and I" Renee said quietly, and as I watched the two infants gaze at each other, their eyes alight with curiosity and admiration I could almost see an entire future flash before my eyes, a future of friendship, loyalty and maybe even love…
