-Back at the house-

Bella's POV

Why is Carlisle fascinated and worried at the same time? Why is Bella nervous and exited at the same time? Too many emotions ~Jasper

I know I can feel Carlisle emotions too. Let me see if I can send a wave of calm to Jasper so that he doesn't feel overwhelmed by all these emotions.

Why do I feel calm all of a sudden? I still feel other people's emotions but it isn't overwhelming anymore. Bella all of a sudden feels satisfied with something. ~Jasper

I guess it worked

Good there back. I wonder if Bella is hungry I ready made her some lunch. ~Esme

I am hungry I guess I should tell her in a few minutes if she asks me. Don't want to freak her out with my ability.

Hey my sis is back. Wonder if she plays any video games. ~Emmett

I like video games but I want to spend time with Edward. Maybe I will mention that I like to play video games to Emmett a little bit later.

I think I will buy some more nail polish I am running out of blood red color. Why does Em always have to play those stupid video games? Let's see, what do I need to buy in order to put more speed to all of our cars. ~Rose

The conversation that I had with Bella brought up a lot of information. I need to do some research. I also need to call Eleazar when I get to the hospital. ~Carlisle

Let's see a couple of visions I had when Bella and Carlisle were talking I learned that we are all going to play baseball and Bella is going to come with us but she just to watch because Edward thinks it's too dangerous. (Edward can't hear the following but Bella can) I also learned that something metaphysical is happening to Bella's body, but I just cannot see yet what those changes are. She is currently as graceful and unbreakable as a vampire even though she is still very much human and her skin isn't marble. She also is starting to develop gifts that she will also have when she does become one of us. By the looks of it she will become one us some time soon, just don't know the cause of it or when exactly. ~Alice

Why isn't Edward reacting to Alice's thoughts, maybe he can't hear all that she is thinking. That makes sense since he isn't reacting. I wonder if I can communicate with them without Edward knowing. Don't want to test that theory out just in case it doesn't work. Besides I want to find out what gifts she is referring to, and if she knows anything about the metaphysical changes that are happening to my body.

In the mean time I am going to communicate to Edward through thought. I don't want others to listen in. Don't mind if Alice does just not the rest just yet.

Hey Edward

Did you have a good conversation with my father? Is there anything that I should be worrying about? ~Edward

No not at the moment, but I do need to tell you something but don't freak out.

Ok what do you need to tell me I hope it's nothing serious. ~Edward

Carlisle somehow thinks that if I were to become a vampire that I would be a sponge and that somehow I am manifesting this gift while I am still human. I am not yet sure if I have Alice's gift but if I am in fact a sponge then I have hers as well. Carlisle is going to talk to Eleazar sometime today to find out information as well as do some research. I also wanted to tell you that I think my body is changing but I don't think it is anything to worry about.

Wonder why your gifts are manifesting while you are still human as well as why you're body is changing. Maybe it has something to do with what happened between us last night. I should ask Carlisle about that. Maybe he has some insight on this. I heard through his thoughts that he was going to talk to Eleazar. ~Edward

Well I don't know either why I am having these metaphysical changes or why I am getting gifts. It appears that I can get more of people's thoughts that you can. You didn't react when Alice was thinking about my gifts and the metabolic changes. She was also talking about me being one of you in the near future. I am sure you would have freaked out.

Yes I would have and glared at Alice for thinking of you becoming one, at least right now anyway, In the future maybe. ~Edward

I am not quite sure if she can actually see this because we are communicating through our minds. Maybe it's blocked somehow since you can't still read my mind unless I am projecting it to you directly.

Maybe its true. I wonder if I can hear the conversation if you are communicating with others through this method. ~Edward

I was going to try that but I wanted to test that theory with you first. Let's try it on Alice first. She might be less freaked out then everyone else.

Ok. Ask Alice something now and I will let you know though my thoughts if I heard anything. ~Edward

Hey Alice, can you hear me.

Whoa that is so cool. Yes I can hear you, but can Edward hear us? ~Alice

Why can't I hear either Alice or Bella. I guess I can't hear them when Bella is communicating. How interesting and frustrating at the same time. I would now when they are communicating I just won't know what they were saying though~Edward

No Alice he cannot hear anything from us while we communicate this way.

So Carlisle thinks you are a sponge that makes sense. You are going to be one powerful vampire especially if you are already absorbing other people's gifts. You already have Edwards, Jaspers and mine. Mine will manifest later. The thing is when you absorb our powers yours is more powerful. Now it's good to know that you can communicate this way. You also must have some sort of shield because you can block Edward. I don't know what your shield does though ~Alice

Not sure either, not even sure what's a shield anyway. Hey Alice I didn't know that you played baseball.

We play baseball the vampire way. We are expecting a storm tonight but don't worry where we will be we won't get wet. We need a storm to play. Speaking of one of your gifts you know you can really freak Em out. He will think he is going crazy especially if you don't tell him that you have this gift. It will be funny to see. Thanks for giving Jasper a dose of calm earlier he gets overwhelmed by peoples' emotions from time to time.~Alice

I am going to go tell Esme I am hungry and have the food she made for me. I heard her thinking about it earlier when I came back from the talk with Carlisle. Then I will hang out with Edward for a while, then I guess we will all go to play baseball or according to you I will be watching.

Ok you go tell her. She might freak out initially but she will be happy that you fit perfectly with this family. You should also get some rest we are going to go play baseball around 1 am. ~Alice

Ok I will take nap I probably will be tired soon.

Hey Esme, don't freak out its Bella I can read minds like Edward and can communicate to others by way of thought. Edward can't see this conversation either. Anyway I am getting hungry and would like the food that you prepared if that's ok with you.

I have to admit that I was slightly surprised when I heard your voice in my head but after being a vampire for many years nothing fazes me anymore. Sure dear I will give you the food right now. ~Esme

I know you were surprised I can feel your emotions. Yes I also have Jasper's gift as well. Carlisle seems to think that I am a sponge and somehow are manifesting this gift as a human.

You really do fit perfectly in this family. How is Jasper's gift manifesting since it appears that you have a stronger mind reading gift than Edward. ~Esme

Well I can pinpoint the origin of the emotion where as Jasper can only feel said emotion.

Oh that's cool dear. Let me go get your food I suppose it's your dinner now seeing that its dinner time. ~Esme

Ok thanks

Hey Edward, sorry it took so long I was communicating with both Alice and Esme. Not at the same time though . I haven't tested that theory yet. This is fun. Alice seems to think that I am also a shield.

A shield huh, that makes sense. This is why I cannot hear your thoughts or those that you are speaking too. As soon as you were done speaking with Alice her mind was open to me again, but then Esme's mind was blocked so I assumed you were talking to her anyway. Maybe you are able to tap into this shield when communicating through thought. ~Edward

Maybe that is true. Alice seems to think that once I become a vampire I will be one powerful one. I think that's cool not that I want all the power though. Anyway as soon as I eat dinner I want to go upstairs and get a repeat performance of last night and then maybe take a nap for a couple of hours. I guess well will be going to play baseball around 1am.

I agree with Alice on the powerful part if you already developing your abilities as a human. Baseball sounds fun. You will like watching us play. You will never want to watch an ordinary game again after you experience vampire baseball. Anyway I am looking forward to tonight's activities with you as well. Love you and enjoy your food. I will give you a tour on the way to my bedroom. ~Edward

Ok sounds good. Oh and one more thing I am going to play a trick on Em with my new abilities without telling him that I can do that. I think it would be funny.

Yes it would be funny love, a test of his own medicine. He loves pranks. I will try not to laugh when you do this to Em. ~Edward

Ok. Thanks.

With that I ate dinner and then headed up stairs with Edward for a tour of the house and then off to his bedroom after that.
