Rosalie's P.O.V continued...
Over the next few days it became very clear that Bella had taken quite a shine to Edward. While when she cried Emmett and I could easily calm her, the only one who could get her out of her screaming fits seemed to be Edward. Alice continued to snap as many pictures of possible, We dresses Bella in at least three outfits a day, and Emmett and I embraced our new parenthood.
I constantly wanted to hold her and so did Emmett. She has only been with us a few days but the whole family already loves her. Over the past two days we have tried getting her to watch cartoons such as Mickey Mouse and Hey Arnold! but she seems to have no interest. Then one night we tried to get her to play with her stuffed animals.
So we all sat around on the floor of her bedroom with her stuffed animals. I held her in my hands as they all showed her the stuffed animals and tried to get her to reach for one or want to play with it. We had almost no luck.
I thought that maybe she just didn't like stuffed animals but then Emmett picked up a little brown stuffed bunny with black eyes and pink ears. He put it in front of her face and said in a fake squeaky voice,
"Hello Bella. I'm Eddie the bunny!" This the most beautiful sound came from Bella. A cheerful giggle. It made my investing heart feel alive. It was the most amazing sound I've ever heard. She reached out for the bunny and Emmett put it in her delicate little hands. She pressed it gently to her chest. Everyone was smiling and looked just as swept away by her giggle as me. Bella then looked at Edward and then the bunny and back at him. She said,
"E..Eddwie. Wike Ed...Edw...Edwar...d?" Edward smiled and Carlisle spoke up,
"Well Edward. If I didn't know better, I'd say Bella already loves you." I couldn't quite disagree but I didn't continue thinking of that for long because Bella got an odd look on her face and Alice began giggling. I asked,
"What?" To which she replied,
"You'll see." Oh, boy did I. Little Bella's face turned green and she threw up on my blue blouse. Everyone burst out laughing while I'm sure I wore a look of horror. When I watched Emmett let out a loud guffaw of a laugh, I glared at him. He didn't seem to notice for a moment but then stopped laughing. He suggested,
"Um, I'll take Bella while you, uh, clean up." I nodded, handed Bella to him, and said a little coldly,
"You do that."
3 Weeks Later...
I was sitting on the couch with Emmett's arm wrapped around me watching Bella sit in Edwards arms while he fed her pureed apples. When she was finished eating he sat the little bowl down on the glass coffee table. This is when we watched the next milestone in her life.
She began using her arms to push against Edwards leg. He looked confused but let her do it. She kept pushing and scooted her butt a little. Obviously Alice knew what wuss happening because she was taking pictures. So for course Edward read her mind and recognition crossed his face but I was confused. She continued this motion for a minute or two before she worked her way into a sitting position. I gasped because this was the first time she sat up all on her own.
"I can't believe I almost went hunting tonight. I might have missed this," Emmett said thoughtfully. Alice assured him,
"I wouldn't have let you go." I was only partially listening. A large part of me was staring in wonder at the beautiful baby girl that had become my daughter. Isabella Marie Hale Cullen. Little Bella.
