A/N: Hey guys. I know I said I wouldn't be updating for a while but I thought you deserved another chapter. This is it though for about 5/6 weeks. I apologise now and by then, if I have the time, I will try to post a couple of chapters at each time.

I also have a new story: again! That won't be going up until I either decide to finish one of my other stories or once I have almost 3/4 chapters for it.

Well enjoy and PLEASE review. I love all your comments: good or bad. Criticism is good for me.

'Edward?' I asked still smiling. 'What do you wish to name her?'

'Right now, I have no idea. What about you?'

'What about Zahra?' I asked him. He smiled at this and nodded his head showing his agreement. He kissed me on the lips softly before whispering Zahra's name. At the mention of her name, she stirred in my arms. Rocking her back and forward, I heard Edward start to hum my lullaby, and eventually she fell asleep.

Seeing my family sitting in front of me was amazing. My sad mood due to the loss of another child was lifted. I could finally see the world correctly again. Bella, the love of my life, was sitting holding our child in her arms, fussing over her. Bella was amazing, beautiful and absolutely fantastic. Zahra resembled her in so many ways. She had Bella's brown hair and her pale skin but she had my eyes. When she smiled, it was an exact replica of Bella's. I was interrupted from my thoughts when a nurse walked through the door. I noticed her badge said her name was Melanie.

'Sorry to disturb you,' she said directing her smile at me. 'Dr Cullen has asked me to come and do some tests to make sure that you, Bella, are okay to go home.' She smiled again, this time apologetically for breaking up such a lovely site.

'It's okay. I will take Zahra out to meet Alice and the rest of the family.' I knew Esme, my mother, was outside waiting to meet her grandchild considering Carlisle, my dad, already had. I stood up and took Zahra from Bella's arms. I kissed Bella lightly on the lips before turning and walking out the room.

I wandered down the corridor, humming to myself when I bumped into a nurse. She was beautiful in her own sort of way. Her name was Tanya and she had reddish hair that was tied up in a neat bun. I smiled at her apologetically and continued down the hall. I wandered into the waiting area to see all my family sitting there: Esme and Jasper were reading their books; Emmett engrossed in a biker magazine: Rosalie looking into a compact mirror: Alice flicking through the pages of OK. I smiled at the sight and coughed lightly to get their attention. It worked! They all looked up at the same moment, a smile plastered to all their faces.

'This everyone, is Zahra.' I announced proudly. Alice skipped over and looked at Zahra adoringly whilst the others gathered round. Alice asked if she could hold her and I reluctantly agreed: I knew what Alice was like. Esme came over and gave me a hug of happiness. I hugged her back; grateful for everything she had done for Bella and myself these last nine months. I can still remember the day we told my parents the news.

'Mum. Dad,' I screamed when I walked through the threshold. 'Bella and I have some important news.'

I went and sat on the couch, Bella following my footsteps. She sat next to me, her hand in mine. We had never been in a really serious relationship so this was a very big thing for us. Esme and Carlisle came into the room and sat on the couch opposite us. They looked worried. I smiled at them trying to reassure them but I wasn't too sure it worked.

'Esme, Carlisle..' Bella started but drifted off as if unable to say it. She turned and looked at me with pleading eyes, asking me to carry on.

'Well, Bella and I, well, we're going to be having a child together.' I stopped there, unable to say anything, trying to work out what my parents were thinking. I was normally really good and reading peoples mind but it is as if they were blocking their thoughts. They sat there in silence for a minute, before Esme began to smile.

'That's wonderful darling but are you ready to be a father?' She asked simply. The question brought many thoughts to life in my head but I already new the answer.

'Yes. I think I am.' I saw Bella look up at me again with a smile, her eyes glittering from tears as if she had heard the news of her life.

'Edward, since you are my son, and Bella is almost a daughter to me,' he turned to direct his question at Bella. 'I was wondering if I could be your doctor? That is that you don't already have a family doctor Bella.' He smiled hopefully.

'Carlisle that would be fantastic.' Her corner of her mouth twitched up into one of her subtle smiles.

As Esme lets me goes and heads off down to see Carlisle, I ask Alice if I can have Zahra back. Alice pouts before giving her back and turns to Rosalie to discuss the decoration of Zahra's room at my house. I say goodbye to them and turn to head back to see if Bella is ready to leave. I get about two steps down the corridor and I hear someone calling my name from behind me. Alice comes bundling up. She stops inches in front of me.

'What do you want now?' I ask sullenly.

'Well, I was wondering, what are you and Bella going to do now?'

'What do you mean by that? The only thing that is changing from before to now is the fact that we have a child to look after.' I answered her rather awkward question.

'Well what I mean is well you already live together, you have a child together, isn't the next step marriage?'

I almost choke on my own saliva as Alice says this. 'Marriage? Alice what are you on about? Bella has literally just given birth. Can you at least let us get home and talk about this all. Please?' I ask pleadingly.

She doesn't answer, but nods her head slightly yet disappointingly. I smile and head off back to Bella's room. I walk past a bunch of nurses giggling and looking at me. I manage to get a glimpse of their name badges: Samantha, Olivia and Stephanie. I just chuckled to myself at the immaturity of these girls and continue onwards.

A/N: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW =)
