When I woke, Edward was sat beside me on the bed in his room. He wasn't moving but I knew that he was there. It took me a moment to remember what had happened and, when I did, I instantly opened my eyes to find Edward staring at me, looking concerned.

"Hey" he hushed "hey, it's going to be ok. Shhh, it'll be ok." His arms wrapped around me, cocooning me within his safe and warm embrace. We stayed like that until my heart regained its usual calm, rhythmic, beat. "What's worrying you?" He asked.

"The unknown" I reply quietly "the pace it's all going at, the fact that everything's changing so quickly and-"

"And?" He pressed when I didn't rush to finish my sentence.

"And how it's going to be different. We barely know each other and we're going to be raising a child, Edward! How the hell aren't you freaking out?"

"I can hear him" he replied simply. "and his thoughts are so pure; he loves you and me and he's happy. He's waiting to see you."

"Where is he?" I ask, sitting up and propping myself against the pillows behind me.

"Esme took him back just before Jasper sent you to sleep. He's sleeping right now." Edward paused for a moment before saying "Alice knows what you're going to name him but she's waiting for you to come up with it before she tells anyone."

"I can't even have a clue?" I ask

"Afraid not" he smiles.

I frown. I didn't feel like a mother, I've held my baby once but still hadn't seen his face. How was I supposed to come up with a name if I didn't feel like his mother?

"Don't worry, the feeling will come" Edward assures me "and I know you'll be perfect."

"How do you feel about it though?" I ask him "you've not told me once if you're ok with it."

"I'm ok with it; I was just waiting to see how you were handling everything" he replies "he's ours" he smiles, looking proud "and he's gorgeous."

I watch him carefully for another moment or two before allowing myself to relax a little more "so we're going to be ok?"

He nods and his smile widens "yes, everything is going to be just fine. Carlisle still wants to monitor him though."

"I get that" I sigh "hey, Rosalie wanted to talk to me; do you know where she is?"

"She's downstairs, I can call her up here if you want? I already know what she wants to ask you anyway, she's been thinking about it since they found out about the baby."

"What does she want?"

"I'm going to let her talk to you about it" he replies simply "both her and Emmett…it's not really my place."

"Ok" I sigh nervously "you can call her up."

Both Rosalie and Emmett had appeared in Edward's doorway the moment the words left my lips. "You may as well stay, Edward" Rosalie told him as he got up to leave "you know what we want anyway." She then turned to me, walking further into the room and perching on the end of the bed. "Admittedly, when I heard of your gift I was undeniably jealous. I never wanted this life" she shook her head, looking sad "Carlisle thought that he was doing be a favour and, of course, I don't nor will I ever resent him for that but my dream, as a human, was to fall in love, marry, have children and grow old with my husband. I always saw us, me and this faceless person, sitting on a porch somewhere surrounded by our grandchildren and now, with what you're going through, I was wondering if you could do the same for me…for both Emmett and I?"

"We want to wait to see the outcome of your situation" Emmett told me "and then see if everything works out and you get your gift back and, if you do, we were hoping that you'd help us. That you'd use your gift on us so that we can have children of our own."

I stared at the both of them and wondered how much of this was Rosalie rather than Emmett but I nodded. How could I deny this of them? Deny a couple who wants children who, without my help, can't? "If everything works out" I nodded "then of course."

The smile that stretched across Rosalie's lips was a beautiful one, full of thanks and gratitude. "Thank you" she told me sincerely "so much, Penny."

Nodding again, I reply "don't thank me yet, Rosalie. I will do what I can but, of course, we'll need to wait and see how this ends up for Edward and I. I don't want to hurt you."

"Plus she can't do anything yet even if she wanted to" Edward commented.

Rosalie frowned "it's still not come back?"

I shook my head, realising that I'd forgotten to ask Carlisle why I still can't turn myself back but Edward, apparently, does. "Carlisle is under the impression that, because she's lactating, she can't. Her body is acting this way because of the baby and, once the milk dries up, she should be able to turn herself back again."

Lactating? I frown before looking down at my chest only to discover two distinct marks around where my nipples are. I felt myself blush as I wondered how long I'd been walking around with my breasts leaking milk and nobody telling me.

"I understand that" Rosalie assured him, getting up from the bed "we'll both do what we can to help you" she added before taking Emmett's hand and leaving the room.

"Esme's toying with the idea as well" Edward warned me. "If this works out we'll be the first coven to have biological children."

"What about Alice?" I ask

He shrugged "it has crossed her mind but her desire for children isn't as strong as Rosalie's or Esme's; plus I think she's waiting to see how all of this plays out." Edward nodded to himself for a moment before saying "Carlisle explained that vampires shoot out venom instead of sperm; well, he thinks that, because I was semi-human at the time, that I-"

"Shot out both" I nodded, blushing "I know."

After a moment or two of silence, Edward sighed and shook his head "I'm sorry; I had no idea that this could happen. I'm sorry that I put you in this position."

I stared at him "don't apologise, Edward; it takes two, remember?" I paused for a moment before saying "I want to meet him."
