Bella's POV
Everyone started rushing around after they heard the news. With Aro coming,it was very scary. Alice gasped again.
"What is it Alice?",I asked.
"Aro's coming now!",she panicked.
My hand fell to my chest and I started panting. I told Esme and Rosalie to take Renesmee to the back room. The rest of the family and I went outside to see Aro.
He glided to our front yard to stand in front of us. Carlisle stepped out.
"Greetings Aro,is there something we can do for you?",he said.
"Hello Carlisle,there's acutally something you can do for me. I need to see Bella.",he said.
I walked up to him with Edward at my side. My hands fell to my stomach. I didn't want Aro to hurt my baby.
"Yes Aro,what can I do for you?",I asked
He glided over to me and lifted up my shirt. I wanted to punch his face,but that would make it even worse.
"I see you're carrying a child. Is that true?",he said.
I sighed and backed away.
"Yes Aro,Edward and I created this child just as we have Renesmee. None of the laws have been broken. I promise.",I explained.
"I would like to meet Renesmee. I need to see that no laws have been broken.",he said.
Alice went to go order Rosalie and Esme to bring Renesmee out.
I fixed my shirt and got my daughter.
"See Aro,she was not created by one of us. She can show you her memories of her birth.",Edward said.
Aro grabbed her hand,but she stuck it on his face instead. She used her special power to show him her memories.
"Oh,it's really true. You haven't broken any laws. I guess my work here is finished. Goodbye and congratulations,Cullen family.",he said.
We thanked him,and he glided off in the distance.
"Momma,who was that?",Renesmee asked.
I was suprised by her speaking skills. She hadn't spoke a full sentence yet.
"Woah,when did you start speaking so clearly?",I asked.
We all walked inside.
"She said her first one when you were talking to Aro.",Rosalie said.
I set her down and looked at her heigth. She wasn't as little as I thought she was.
"Wow Renesmee,you're getting tall! I didn't expect a growth spurt till a year from now.",I said resting my hands on my stomach.
"Does Grandpa have to check me again?",she asked.
"Yes sweetheart,we need to figure out how much you've grown.",I said.
As much as Renesmee loves Carlisle,she hated having check-ups and measurments done.
Renesmee,Edward,and I walked into Carlisle's study.
"Carlisle,I think Renesmee has had a growth spurt.",I said.
Renesmee came between my legs and put her hands on the desk. She could now stand from the end of the desk to see without standing on her tippy-toes. That was unusual for her.
"Yes,I think so too. Come here Renesmee,let's get a measure of you.",he said.
Renesmee reluctantly went over to get measured. Carlisle pulled out his notepad and tape then began the procedure.
"Yes,it seems that she has grown a foot since her last measurement. Can she speak more clearly?",he said.
"Yes Grandpa,I can. Is that bad?",Renesmee answered for me.
"No,it just means you're growing at a faster rate than we expected. It's practically normal for a child like you.",Carlisle said smiling.
"I wonder if my little brother or sister will be like me?",she asked.
"I don't know,sweetheart. You can go play now.",I said.
She smiled at me then skipped out of the room.
"I want to check Renesmee's theroy. Can we do that right quick?",I said.
Carlisle nodded,and we walked to where the ultrasound machine was.
"I can tell the baby has grown. The heartbeat sounds louder than last time,but you're not any bigger really.",Edward said.
Carlisle prepared me for the ultrasound then he flipped the machine on. He moved the wand around on my stomach.
"Hmm,Edward was right. The baby has grown since last time but not much. I don't think Renesmee's theroy was correct though. This pregnancy will be normal,and the baby will grow at a slower rate than Renesmee. The baby looks like a normal,nine week old fetus.",Carlisle said.
Edward and I both breathed a sigh of relief. We still had some questions though.
"Does that mean I'm turning human again or something?",I asked.
"I don't think that's the case here. I still have some researching to do.",he said.
I cleaned the substance off of my stomach and stood up.
"Thanks Carlisle,we appreciate it.",I said.
He smiled and walked out. I looked at Edward.
"I guess this is exciting. We have a normal baby. I don't know whether to be scared or happy.",I said.
Uncontrolable tears started coming down my face. Edward held me in his arms.
"Love,please don't cry. This is a very exciting thing. It's something to be thankful for.",he said rubbing my back.
I cried into his chest until my tears subsided.
"Hormones,you got to love them.",I said sarcastically.
Edward laughed and wiped my eyes with his thumb. I heard little feet patter in the room.
"Momma,Daddy! You have to come see this!",Renesmee said grabbing our arms.
"What is it?",I asked.
"Uncle Emmett and Uncle Jasper are arm wrestling! Hurry!",she said pulling us harder.
I looked at Edward and laughed. Renesmee pulled us outside where the whole family was. Jasper and Emmett were out in the grass with their shoulders on a rock.
Carlisle and Edward were their coaches. I'm guessing.
I sat beside Esme with Renesmee in my lap.
"Esme,what did I miss?",I asked.
"Jasper and Emmett started fighting about who was stronger,so they decided to test it out.",she said.
I rolled my eyes and laughed. Emmett always thought he was the strongest,but Jasper may be able to prove him wrong.
"Bella,do you still want to go on that shopping trip after this?",Alice asked smiling at me.
I decided to give in since Aro ruined our last one.
"Sure Alice,I would love to.",I said.
"Can I go too,Auntie Alice?",Renesmee asked.
She has definatley inherited her aunt's love of shopping somehow.
"Sure Renesmee,you're the big sister here.",she said.
Renesmee clapped her hands happily,and I heard Carlisle say go.
I looked over and the fight had begun.
"Go Uncle Emmett!",Renesmee cheered.
Emmett had pulled Jasper's hand down before I could say anything.
"See Jazz,my theroy has been proved.",Emmett said walking up to us.
"Whatever Emmett,I still have the prettiest girl.",Jasper said kissing Alice.
"Jasper Hale! You take that back!",Rosalie yelled.
She pushed Jasper angrily.
"I was just kidding Rose. All the girls are pretty in the same way.",he said.
"Even me,Uncle Jazz?",Renesmee asked.
Jasper laughed.
"Even you,my beautiful niece.",he said.
I saw Renesmee blush a little.
"Did you just blush for your uncle,Ness?",Emmett asked.
"Yes Em,she did. She doesn't have a husband to blush at yeat,so she chose her uncle.",Rose said.
"What's a husband?",Renesmee asked.
Oh great.
"So,how about all the men go hunting while the girls go shopping?",Alice said breaking the tension.
Carlisle and Edward came back to the porch as well.
"That sounds good! I haven't hunted in forever!",Emmett said.
"You hunted just last month,Emmett.",Carlisle said.
"Yeah,but being around human blood all the time and not being able to drink it is pure torchure! It feels like it's been forever.",he said.
"Edward? Jasper? What do you think?",Alice said.
"I think it will be nice.",Jasper said.
"Me too,I like that idea.",Edward said.
"Carlisle?",Rose said.
"I guess I could go.",Carlisle said.
"All right then,it's settled! The girls will go shopping,and the boys will go hunting.",Alice said.
We all went inside to get ready to go to our certain destinations. Edward,Renesmee,and I went into Edward's old room for a minute.
"Daddy,can we take the piano CD that you made for all of us?",Renesmee asked sweetly.
"Sure,it's in my bag.",Edward said.
He looked back at me and kissed my forehead.
"Be safe,my love. Call if you need anything.",he said.
I kissed his lips softly.
"I will. I'll try not to be so needy.",I said laughing.
He laughed as well before Renesmee came back in carrying the CD.
"I've got it!",she said.
She jumped in her father's arms and hugged his neck.
"Bye Daddy,I'll miss you. Have fun hunting!",Renesmee said.
Her musical voice echoed through the room.
"Goodbye,my sweet girl. Make sure everyone stays safe for me. I hope you have a better time shopping.",he said kissing her cheeks.
Renesmee laughed,and he set her down.
"Your forgot someone Daddy.",she said.
"Really who?"
She lifted up my shirt.
"The baby! You have to give my sibling a kiss.",she said smiling.
"Oh silly me,how could I forget?",he said.
Edward got to his knees and placed his lips on my stomach. I ran a hand through his hair. He whispered something,but I was too caught up in the moment to hear it.
He fixed my shirt and stood up. I smiled at my husband.
"Alright. Come in Renesmee,Auntie Alice is probably getting anxious.",I said grabbing my daughter's hand.
We walked out with Edward following behind us. Suprisingly,Alice was still getting ready.
When everyone was ready,we said goodbye then departed. We took Carlisle's Mercedes to Port Angeles.
The car ride was long and drawn-out. I was happy to see a sign that said 'Port Angeles Mall' on it.
"Where should we start out first?",Esme asked being the driver.
"There's a new baby shop opened called 'The Baby Mall' that I wanted to check out first. I heard they have really good deals.",Alice said.
Next thing I knew,we were in a shop called 'The Baby Mall'. I have to admit it was a cute little store.
"Momma,look! That one has piano keys on it!",Renesmee said pointing at a onesie.
"Yes baby,it does. Daddy would like that one.",I said.
"Yeah,look at those shoes Auntie Alice is looking at!",Renesmee practically screamed.
"Yes sweetheart,I see them. They're really cute. Renesmee,you need to be a little bit more quiter and not yell.",I said.
She nodded and went to look on her own. I walked over to Alice,Rose,and Esme to see what they were looking at.
"I was wrong,these prices are probably way too high.",Alice said sadly.
"How much?",I asked.
"I saw some shoes that were like sixty dollars,and they weren't even cute.",she said.
"Maybe we should try another store?",I said.
"Renesmee,come on. We're going to another store.",I called.
My daughter instantly rushed to my side and grabbed my hand.
As we were walking out,I heard a familiar voice.
"Bella? Is that really you?",they asked.
I turned around and was suprised to see who it was.
"Angela! It's nice to see you! Do you work here?",I asked
"Yeah,acutally,my parents own it.",she said.
"That's cool.",I said.
"Momma,let's go. I want to look for more baby clothes.",Renesmee said.
"Who's this?",Angela asked.
"My daughter.",I said smiling.
"Aww,she's so cute. She looks like Edward.",she said suprised.
"As they all say.",I said laughing.
She bent down to Renesmee.
"What's your name pretty girl?",she asked.
"Renesmee. Renesmee Carlie.",Renesmee said.
"Hi Renesmee,I'm Angela. I went to school with your Momma and Daddy.",she said.
"Cool. Momma,can we look for some more baby clothes now.",Renesmee said.
"Your pregnant?! Again?! That's great!",Angela said.
"Thanks Ange,we're very excited. I have to go,see you soon.",I said.
"Bye Bella,bye Renesmee! Take care! Tell everyone hi for me!",Angela said.
I smiled at her,and we went to join the girls.
"It looks like you had fun reuniting with someone.",Rose said.
"Yeah,let's just say,put her down first on the guest list for the baby shower.",I said.
We all laughed and headed to the next store.
