Chapter 1
Renee POV:
I Felt so sore, I had just gave birth to my beautiful baby girl and I couldn't be happier. She was gorgeous. She had milky white flawless smooth skin, a heart shaped face like my own, a cute little button nose, pouty plump lips that were slightly uneven; her bottom lip being bigger that her top, but that just made her even more adorable, little tuffs of curly, mahogany-brown hair just like her father Charlie, and huge chocolate brown doe eyes framed by long, thick eyelashes that just enhanced her innocence and beauty. She was absolutely beautiful, so beautiful I just had to name her Isabella; Bella for short, it's perfect for her because Bella means beautiful in Italian, and I am pretty sure Charlie has some familial ties to Italy, so it will make since if anyone asks. "Isabella" I said quietly, because she was currently sleeping. But as soon as I said her name she opened her eyes and trained her big brown eyes on me, realizing it was I who said it. "That's your name." I said looking right at her. She looked like she understood exactly what I said. Wow, she's awfully smart. "Bella." I whispered. When I said Bella, she smiled at me, and laughed a cute little tinkling bell laugh. I smiled at her and she smiled back. Perfect. That's how I can describe this moment, absolutely perfect.
I woke up, saw Charlie napping, and that Bella wasn't here. So I reached over and nudged Charlie awake to ask where she was and try not to panic. "Charlie." Nothing. "Charlie!" Still nothing, geeze the way he's sleeping you'd think he just had the baby. "CHARLIE!" He jumped up awake screaming "Push! Push! Huh? What?" Aw, how cute, in a dorky kind of way. "Where's bella?" I asked, getting impatient. "Oh, they put Isabella in the nursery, with all the other babies." Thank Goodness, she's safe."Okay, good, I was starting to worry." "What could happen? There are nursing, doctors, and staff around here 24/7. You shouldn't worry so much." "You never know Charlie, anything could happen. And have you seen our daughter? She's so cute and adorable, how can someone not want to take her? She is so lovable and wantable. How can I not be worried?!" I finished my rant getting stressed. "I know honey, I know. And wantable? Are you sure that's a real word?" Ugh does he have to be such a know-it-all? But I love him, I married him for better or annoying. I needed to see Bella, I missed her and not seeing her and making sure she was safe was making me irrational. "Its my word. Now take me to see her please. I miss her." "okay" he said, helping me into the wheelchair and then wheeled me to the nursery just outside the big window where you could see all the other babies that had been born recently. While I was looking for Bella, a young couple about our age (mid to late 20s) came up next to us, looking for there young one. The male was handsome, platinum, blond straight hair. His eyes were a strange sapphire blue color. I've never seen that kind of blue before. He had this aura around him that held authority, compassion, and kindness that you could see in his eyes. The women was just as beautiful even though she looked just as tired as I felt, she had bronze colored hair that was wavy and went past her shoulders and bright emerald green eyes that shown love at what she was looking at. She started to speak. "Oh, Carlisle look I found him! He's gorgeous. Aww look he's holding the hand of the baby next to him." "How adorable. It looks as though there holding on for dear life" Carlisle chuckled. I looked away in fear of intruding on their private moment and resumed on looking for Bella. I found her and sure enough she was the one that was holding the other couples babies hand. It was awfully cute, they were both sleeping, sucking their thumbs facing each other. "Isn't that cute Charlie? She's holding that baby boys hand." "Yeah. Cute. God, she's not even a day old and she's already got a boy after her. I'm scared of what she'll be like when she's a teenager..." he trailed off, probably imagining the horror of adolescents. The Couple heard us, and our kids being the only ones in there that are holding hands it wasn't hard to figure out that we were the parents of their sons sudden interest. "We couldn't help but overhear, given our kids interest of each other we thought we should meet. I'm Carlisle and this is my wife Esme." Carlisle said. He then reached out and shook hands with Charlie and I. "It's so nice to meet you" Esme said shaking our hands too. "It's nice to meet you too, I'm Renee and this is my husband Charlie. May I ask what's your sons name?" I asked Esme. She smiled in her sons direction and said "His name is Edward Anthony-Mason Cullen. What's your beautiful daughters name?" "Oh thank you, and her name is Isabella Marie Swan. Bella for short." "Bella. How fitting." She smiled at me. "Yes thank you, we couldn't ask for more." We both looked at them and saw that they were awake, still holding hands but both looking frustrated that they could not see each other. I now got a better look at Edward, he was really handsome, he had his mother's bronze colored hair and emerald green eyes, but his fathers facial features and chiseled jaw, and he had both of his parents pale skin, but not so pale that he looks unhealthy. His brow was furrowed and scrunched up in a frustrated look like he wishes he could destroy the walls in his case so he could see her. But him being a baby it just made him look even cuter rather than intimidating. "Edward is really cute; I can see both of you in him." "Thank you, I honestly think he looks more like Esme but she insists that he looks more like me." Carlisle explained with a chuckle. I laughed, "No I think it the perfect combination of you too." They both smiled at me seeming satisfied with that answer. "Hey how about we let them meet officially?" Esme suggested. "That sounds like a wonderful Idea." I said. And with that Carlisle and Charlie wheeled Esme and I in the nursery.
Still sitting in our wheelchairs, Carlisle handed Edward to Esme, and Charlie handed Bella to me. We scooted closer and held them right next to each other. At first they were just staring into each others eyes, smiling, It was so cute. Then they reached for each others hands and held onto each other. Edward reached to touch Bella's cheek with his tiny hands and Bella just blushed and smiled. "aww!" Esme and I said in unison. I heard the men start to chuckle at us, but I didn't care, it was the most adorable thing I have ever seen. "Wouldn't it be cute if these two got married...?" I trailed off, thinking how nice that would be. Plus it would save all the heartache of dating if she married her childhood sweetheart. "Oh that would be wonderful!" Esme exclaimed. "We have to stay in touch so they can be together, plus I'm thinking it would be impossible to keep them apart." Esme continued. "Yeah let's see what happens." I said experimentally. We tried to pull them apart but there tiny grips would not let go. When we tried again Edward gave us both a mean glare, as of saying 'Don't you dare'. Again he looked more cute than menacing. And Bella looked like we were tearing her heart out. She looked at me with a heartbreaking look on her face, big watering eyes, with tears threatening to spill over, and a quivering lip. "Okay, I think they've had enough." and we let them hold onto each other. They both looked relieved that we were not breaking them up. "But yes, we should definitely keep in touch. Although I don't know how we're going to keep these two apart, even for a little while." I said to Esme. "We'll have to just visit often, even without the weird connection out kids have, I can already see us as best friends. So while our kids visit it won't get totally border or awkward. How about we exchange phone numbers and addresses, if you two don't mind?" "No not at all" I smiled and then looked to Charlie who has been taking with Carlisle the whole time about guy stuff. "Charlie can you guys exchange numbers and addresses with them so we can visit each other?" Charlie looked sheepishly at me blushing slightly "we kinda already did. Turns out Carlisle and I went to High school together. And there just moving back here from Chicago to raise their son in a small town. So he decided to come back to where he was raised and move back to Forks. That's why they're here and guess what? They're the new couple that moved in next door!" Charlie explained, getting excited. Oh I heard about the new couple that moved into that nice house next door but never saw them, because our neighborhood was sort of on the edge of town and winds into the forest. Sketchy I know, but the view, seclusion, and silence was amazing and very peaceful. Plus the houses up there are huge and open. "Isn't that convenient!" Esme said excited. "Yes now we don't have waste time and gas going back and forth." I added. After that Esme and I continued talking and it turns out she was right, the more I got to know her the more I could see why she was quickly becoming my best friend.
After a while we headed back to my room, but since our babies couldn't stay away from each other and Esme and I wasn't done talking, we convinced the nurses to just let us stay in my room since it was semi-private room (meaning 2 beds in one room). While Esme and I exchanged our life stories and had a few (alright a lot) laughs, and our husbands sat and got caught up, our kids shared a tub/bed thing and held each (as much as they could being babies) other while they slept. We couldn't look over there and not say aw. It was so cute; Edward looked all protective and possessive, while Bella looked peaceful and happy. "Isn't this nice, they look so happy together, wouldn't it be great if they were together when they grow up?" I asked Esme. She looked over at me and smiled "yes that would wonderful, and it would be even better if they were together because I won't have to chase down all of those nasty, gold-digging skanks trying to get at my baby boy. And if Bella is anything like you and Charlie, I have nothing to worry about." That's so sweet, I've barely known her for a day and she already thinks all these nice things about us. "That's so sweet; I know Charlie and I have nothing to worry about. I know he'll be gentlemen. I can already tell by the way he looks so protective of her, like he'll jump in front of a bullet for her and he's just a day old." She just smiled and said "yeah he better be gentlemen, or I'll whip his behind, I love him to death but so help me if he ends up like those hoodlums I see now days, cheating on there girlfriends, having a different girl every week, goofing off with a bunch of guys getting high and wasted, I won't have it!" I could tell she was getting irritated just by the thought of it. "Don't worry, I'm sure that won't happen, and if it does I'll make sure Bella keeps him in line." I assured her. She looks relieved at that thought. "Good. Oh they do look perfect for each other." We both looked at our kids in the same position as before and in unison said "aww!" Our husbands looked up from what they were talking about and saw us looking at the kids and just rolled their eyes, but you could see the fondness in their eyes. Wow, what a bunch of softies.
