Gender Type Clothing
Alice's Point Of View
Alex and I stood ready at the entrance of the local mall. It has been two weeks since we found out Bella and Edward are expecting again. Alexandra and I decided it wasn't too early to start shopping for her new siblings. We walked through the sliding glass doors into the sounds and sights that were a mall on a Saturday afternoon. I looked over at Alex. She had been smiling for almost two weeks straight. She was still smiling now so I smiled back. "Do you have any idea what we're supposed to buy?" She asked. I held up the list I had printed off the internet and the one Esme and Carlisle had written up. Alex sighed with relief.
"I figured it would be good to ask Carlisle and Esme because, Carlisle's a doctor so he can tell us what we need and what to avoid in order to keep both the babies and your mother in good health. And Esme because even though her baby didn't live she has a very good idea on what we need and the internet one because, well just because I guess." I stated.
"What stores do we go to then? Alice I have never done any of this before so I have no clue!" Alex complained. I pointed towards a map of the mall and we walked over to it. Fortunately it had a section clearly marked "Baby Needs". And the four baby stores they had in the mall were all right next to one another. We walked to that section of the mall.
Alexandra's Point of View
We walked into the first store and looked around. The store was very fancy and very expensive and I knew everything we needed was somewhere in this place. Then I remembered something, we didn't know if they were boys or girls or both. "Alice," I said looking at all the cute miniature clothing. "We don't know the babies' gender. What clothes are we supposed to buy?" I said confused.
"You know what, I am so tired of 'gender type clothing'. I mean seriously why do girls have to wear pink and why do boys have to wear blue? Why can't babies just wear what they want, or just run about in their little diapers." Alice picked up a blue one-piece with a dog on it and pink one with a cat on it. "Like, why do girls have to wear pink ones with cats and boys wear blue ones with dogs. This is so sexist! This probably has something to do with the crazy cat lady theory and the 'whole mans best friend thing'! This is so SEXIST!!" Alice was whispering loudly to me and shaking the clothes. Lots of people were staring.
"Alice what are you on about?" I asked.
"Gender type clothing!" She said again.
"So are we going to wait until we know the genders then?" I asked.
"No let's just get everything in various colors. Element of surprise!" She stated. I began laughing. Alice had meltdown in a designer outlet. And we probably would never shop there again. It still made me wonder what just happened, I had never known Alice to act like this especially not in a store like this. We finished shopping and left the mall for another day.
Alice's Point Of View
That was so weird. According to Alex I just had a meltdown about gender type clothing. I don't even remember it. I think I know what's going on. We have another of those stupid mind control vampires. We would have to watch what we say and do to find out for sure. This could be very dangerous. It might just have been a minor meltdown but things could get very dangerous and no one could risk it right now. Especially Alex.
