Chapter Six

Everyday

BPOV

Bringing our son into the world with all of my family somewhere in the house made everything fall together for me the way I had felt it was meant to be. I had wanted my children to be there for the birth of their little sibling and wanted them to be able to bond right away. I had worried and wondered if they would be able to be there and it was one of the greatest gifts Edward had ever given to me, arranging that they would be there. When Carlisle said it was time to start, I had no worries and no cares, just wanted to get my child safely out of my abdomen and into my arms. I knew that my father would do it without any problems.

I saw my sister, Rose, lean over me to get a glimpse at the little baby that had just been introduced into our existence. One more reason for me to exist forever. I watched as she and Edward smiled and exchanged knowing looks. Carlisle knew the sex of my son as well but they didn't spill the news, they allowed Edward to do the honors of informing me. Watching Edward with our son brought so much joy and happiness into my body, my head was nearly about to catapult at hurricane force winds speed. I watched as the rest of my family slowly came in to meet our son. I had told Edward earlier the name choices and he had agreed. I was trying so hard to keep Alice from seeing anything.

I had decided early in my pregnancy that if I should have another son, his name would be a combination of the names of our sisters. I had wanted to do something special that would allow them more than just a role in the baby's life. I felt bad that neither of them would ever experience the precious role of motherhood. Naming my child after them would at least insure them a namesake, something they shouldn't be capable of as immortals. As I announced our new son's name to our family, the looks on Alice and Rosalie's faces were priceless. I had gotten my one wish in making them happy. I had known that they both would like to have been able to have children of their own. I knew there was nothing I could do about making them parents but I could at least name one of my own after them.

Carlisle came to visit Edward, Brandon, and I not long after all the others had left of us to give us alone time. Rosalie had been the last to leave, staying behind to share her heartfelt thank you with us. I had never witness her be so sincere in the seven plus decades I had known her. I hadn't really grasped how much giving her name to my child would mean to her. Our father came in not long after Rose had walked out. "I know you want to spend some time with one another, getting acquainted with your son," Carlisle said as he came to my bedside in his makeshift surgical suite in his office. "I didn't want to interrupt once you settled in your room for tonight. I wanted to discuss something I did for the both of you a few days ago." Edward and I glanced at one another. My mind began to wonder to thoughts of great gifts and such that Carlisle and Esme had been known for since before I had met them. I had really hoped they wouldn't do anything over the top for the new baby. I wanted to keep this as normal as it could be when you are an Immortal Cullen. By the way Carlisle was smirking, I'm sure he was imaging the thoughts I was having. "I had heard Edward mention it once in passing, but I took the lead and went and spoke with the officials at your school. They have agreed to allow they both of you to test and see if you could walk in graduation at the end of the year. When you pass the testing, you will not be required to go to school anymore. You can attend graduation if you choose. Your siblings are going to be envious that I allowed it, but its for Brandon."

I could see that Edward was smiling but Carlisle was being apprehensive. Carlisle knew after all the years that I didn't like for decisions to be made for me, that I like to be involved. I was sure he was guessing that I as going to be upset but his guess would be wrong. "Thank you so very much, Carlisle! Edward and I had discussed this and I had decided I would rather stay home with Brandon," I assured him. "With the rate he will most likely grow, I don't want to miss a moment with him if I can help it."

Carlisle's face lit up with delight at the words I spoke to him. "I'm glad you approved of my, uh, taking the initiative to get things moving along. They expect that you two will take your test Monday." His face became a strange, sneaky look, even eager. "Esme and I will take care of Brandon while you two do so." Carlisle walked toward the doorway. "I knew you would be in need of a sitter on the day you tested so I arranged that you would do the test on my day off, you know, so that was one less detail to work out later."

I could hear Carlisle humming Esme's favorite song of Edward's as he walked down the hallway. I looked to my husband and grinned, "I believe we deprived the family for so long of a little one that we are going to have to fight for time with our son as we had to do with Nessie, eh," I declared.

Edward nodded. "Love, are you ready for us to go to our room?"

I sat up as Edward placed me in his arms. He carried me to our room as I held our son close in my arms. We had decided we would rather spend all night with our son in our own room opposed to the makeshift hospital that was in Carlisle's room. Edward, even knowing that I was perfectly capable of making my own way to the room, had to behave like the gentleman he was and rushed me not only to our room, but placed me on the bed. Apparently while I was delivering our son, our family had been preparing our room as they had at Charlie's house. In the corner, with windows surrounding, there was a brand new wrought-iron crib. The bedding had already been put in place as well as a metal mobile hanging from one of the rails. A changing table, for clothing instead of diapers, was placed along the wall next to the crib. Clothing and toys as well as several metal cups had been placed there, a small step in preparation for a newborn vampire.

I couldn't stay in the bed any longer. I brought Brandon to my chest and walked over to the items that had been placed there in the last couple of hours or so. There was a card laying in the middle of the crib. Edward brought the card out, holding it between his thumbs. "I really did not know they were doing this," he admitted. "During the delivery I was so focused on you and the baby, I didn't pay attention to any of the thoughts that were surrounding. Too many emotions plus my own to have to deal with."

I smiled, rubbing the back of my small baby. I would have to have Edward get him another cup of blood soon. I could hear his discomfort at being thirsty, so much like the human mother's knowing their baby is wanting a bottle or needing a changing, it truly wasn't much different I would imagine. "Please, read what the card says," I insisted.

Edward took the card from its envelope and flipped it apart. Edward smiled when he saw the first of it and then began:

Edward and Bella,

This is a small gesture to say thank you so much for bringing yet another Cullen into our lives. We are all blessed by having the two of you to be a part of our family and even more so that you should choose to share your gift of parenthood with us. We will love you and your wonderful three children and any others you choose to bring into this world now and forever. Thank you for making our family complete. Love,

Carlisle and Esme

Edward closed the card and began to smile, "I knew how much it meant for them to have what we bring to their lives, but I hadn't ever heard or saw the words written by them."

I could sense how much these words meant to Edward. Carlisle and Esme's opinions of him was something he took very seriously. It was their feelings and my life he had wanted to spare that made him run from Forks and run from me when I was still human. "Edward, they love you very much. You are their first child. You and anything to do with you means everything to them. They feel as lucky to have you in their existences as you do to have them in yours."

Edward surrounded me with his arms, standing just behind me. He gazed into my eyes then looked into our son's. We would have all night to get acquaint our son with us and us with him. I couldn't believe how lucky I was in my immortal life, as nothing of this magnificence would have found me in my human life. "I am very lucky to have them in my life," Edward spoke. "But I'm luckiest because I have you and our three children in my existence."

We stood a few moments longer until Brandon's arms reached out toward his father. Edward gathered our son into his arms and we carried him to our bed. Edward and I took turns talking to our son, telling him about his family, immortal and human. We explained over and over, like a broken record, that we were different than all those that lived around us. That we had to maintain our secret or else it would be of terrible consequence. Brandon was just as smart as Renesmee and Masen at their newborn ages. He was growing rapidly, at the rate of Renesmee. His appearance had already changed greatly in the few hours of his first day of existing. Edward insisted to let him know that he could not bite anyone, that if he accidentally bit us or one of his siblings, that would be okay, even his aunts or uncles, but definitely not Jacob. We weren't for sure but according to Nahuel and after Masen had bit me, we were quite sure any son we had would be venomous. We had yet to have a daughter after I turned so we didn't know whether a daughter would be. We still couldn't take the chance, like with Masen. Our son understood our woods, touching our hands and letting us hear his thoughts. Today was the first day of my new son's life. A new beginning for our family. Edward and I wrapped ourselves around our new son and prepared him for an immortal's life in Forks. Everyday I would be thankful for all that I was given in this existence and I would make sure my family knew it.
