I sighed as Alice walked into yet another store. Bella squirmed in my arms. A small whimper escaped her mouth. Then I smelt it. I scrunched up my nose. Bella grunted as she filled her dipper. I sighed walking over to Alice. I was about five feet away when Alice turned around handing me a dipper and some wipes.

"God I could smell her a country away." I laughed and took Bella to the men's room. I took down the changing table and gently placed Bella upon it. I undid her onesie that we bought at the first store we went to. It said I love my big brother. Alice said I was like her big brother but what if when Bella was older I didn't want to just be her big brother? What if when she was seventeen, I wanted to love her. And I don't mean brotherly love, I mean what if I wanted to hold her in my arms. To kiss her. To love her. I guess we will just have to discuss that later because right now I'm changing her dipper.

I pealed her dipper off, the smell hit me like a bomb.

"Oh Bella! What do they put in formula?" I quickly wiped her small cute little butt and put her in a fresh dipper. I snapped her onesie back on and picked her up. I grinned at her as she gave me a toothless grin. She pumped her little legs in excitement. Her hands reached toward me. I placed her against my chest and grabbed the wipes and threw away the dirty dipper.

I walked back out into the mall and saw Alice coming toward me with more shopping bags. Alice grinned.

"Edward! I got the cutest close for our little Bella! She is going to be the best dressed baby in Washington!" I thought Alice's face might split in two if she didn't stop smiling. Alice gave all the bags to Jasper and reached for Bella. "You are going to be the most beautiful baby ever!" Alice cooed in Bella's face. Bella squealed happily. I smiled. She already is beautiful.


3 years later…

I peeked around the corner. Nothing. I looked under her bed. Nothing. I even looked in the bathroom. Nothing. I stood up and frowned. Man, Bella's good at this game. Then I heard giggling. I grinned and followed the sound. I was coming from behind the curtain. I grinned.

"I wonder where Bella could be…" I said as I slowly crept toward the curtain. Her giggling became even louder. I swiftly pulled back the curtain yelling 'Gotch ya!.' Bella's scream could have been heard from China. She started giggling and attached her self to my leg. I picked her up, spinning her in circles. Her laughter became louder as she clapped her hands.

"Okay bath time for the princess" Rose came in and took Bella. Bella squirmed in Rose's arms. Not that it did any good.

"NO! Edward give me bath!" Her little hands reached out toward me. I grabbed her from Rose. Her hands latched around my neck as if she were holding on for dear life. I chuckled. Rose made a face that said 'your stealing my little girl!' I shrugged and walked to Bella's bathroom. "Edward can I have bubbles?" I laughed. Bella loved her bubbles. She like putting all the bubbles she could on her chin than throw her hands up and yell 'I'm Santa!' I would always laugh and agree with her. Then she would blow the bubbles all over me.

After her bath I wrapped a towel around her and picked her up, taking her to her room, which was next to mine. We had decided that she may not want to share a room with me when she got older. I set her down and she ran to her dresser. She pulled out her favorite princess pajama's and ran back to me. She held them up to me with one hand while the other held her towel. I smiled taking them and placing her on her bed. She slipped on her Dora under where then slipped into her pajama dress. She grinned at me holding out her hand. I placed her sparkly pink hair brush in it. I watched in amazement as she gently brushed through her tangles. Not that there were many. Rose and Alice spent most of their time playing with Bella's hair. I watched as the brush brushed through her hair, causing it to straighten. Then when the brush was done I watched as the curls sprang back into place.

Bella handed me the brush, a smile playing on her lips. I took it, setting it on her vanity.

"Bedtime!" I began tickling her sides. She squealed a fit of giggles. As I tickled her she plopped down on the bed bouncing a few times.

"Stop Edward! Stop! Uncle! Uncle!" I stopped laughing with her. I shifted her so I could tuck her in. I placed the blanket under her arm pits. She put her arms up, asking for a hug. I bent down, pulling her small delicate body to me. I took in a big breath smelling her beautiful smell. Venom filled my mouth. It was hard to ignore but not impossible. It has been getting easier over the years. Her small arms wrapped around my neck. She squeezed me gently turning her head to kiss my cheek. I lifted myself up then lowered my lips to her forehead. My hard cold lips made contact with her smooth warm skin. I sighed. I loved this feeling. The feeling of her warm skin under my lips. I lingered slightly as I pulled back. Bella's eye fluttered close. Her mouth was open slightly, her breaths becoming deeper and deeper. Her tiny hands curled around mine, telling me she didn't want me to leave her. I was never going to leave her.

"I love you Edward" she breathed. I smiled, squeezing her hand gently.

"I love you too Bella." I smiled down at my little angel. I heard Rose coming up the stairs. I looked over to see her standing next to me. I quietly got up and ran back down stairs. I heard Rose whisper quiet goodnights to Bella. I sat down on the couch and looked around me. Emmet was watching the football game. Jasper was cuddled up with Alice whispering to her. I didn't want to interfere with there conversation so didn't listen. Carlisle and Esme were in the kitchen making goo goo gaces at each other. I felt my dead heart flutter as I thought about maybe one day that could be Bella and I.

I couldn't wait.
