Chapter 6- Baby Alice
Carlisle's POV
After giving Alice a check up I had taken her to the nursery to put a diaper n and wrap her in a small pink blanket. After I was done with that I took her down to the Cafeteria to see if I could get her a bottle. She must be hungry right now.
"Hello, Dr. Cullen. Who's the little baby?" a good friend of mine, Dr. Williams asked as he stood in line next to me.
"This is mine and Esme's new daughter." I said.
"Congrates!" He exclaimed while patting my shoulder.
"Thanks," I said as I reached to a lady who was behind the buffet. "May I have a bottle for my daughter?" I asked. She nods as she makes the bottle.
"You can keep the bottle." She said.
"Thank you, Mrs. Jefferson." I said. I put the bottle in Alice's mouth and walked back to my office.
"Is she ok?" Esme asked as she looked at Alice.
"She is perfectly fine. Despite her height. She is super tiny. She is a preemie." I told her. She smiles adorably as she carefully takes Alice out of my arms and starts to feed her herself. I smiled as I watched them. I saw a happiness in Esme that I though I have never seen in my entire life.
"It's just like when I had my son," She said softly. I could tell she was about to start sobbing. Esme's past with her dead infant was a sad story to be told. "except the size and gender of course." She chuckled a little.
"You will be a perfect mom to Alice." I said. She looked at me.
"You really think so?" She asked.
"I know so. I mean you raised her when her and Jasper moved in with us. Even though she wasn't a human or ageable." I said.
"I'm scared that I'm going to put too much attention on her and the rest of the kids will hate me." She whispered.
"They will understand, Love." I told her. She nods.
"I wonder what size she wears?" Esme asked.
"I don't think any stores have her size. You will probably have to start making her own clothing." I said. Her eyes light up with happiness.
"Finally! Something else to do!" She exclaimed. I laughed.
"Don't worry, Love. I'm sure Alice will keep you on your toes." I said.
"We'll need to buy her a crib! and baby food! And a carseat! Oh and some toys!" She exclaimed. I laughed.
"How about I go see if I can leave early and we go buy the things now. Plus. How about once we buy the things we go home and get our things packed and we can go ahead and move. Before people start asking where Bella and older Alice is." I said.
"Ok." She said. a slight pang of sadness.
"Don't worry, we will find a new home. Even if we have to build a new one. It will just as good as the one we have now. If we have to build another one you can decorate the the nursery." I said. She squealed with joy.
"I've always wanted to decorate a nursery!" She exclaimed. I laughed.
"Then it is settled. We will go get Alice's new things. Then we will go home and pack and we will move somewhere and build a new home. A perfect house." Carlisle said.
"While we're waiting on the few days that it takes us to build and decorate the house how are we going to keep Alice warm and fed?" She asked.
"I have already called them ahead of time the other day. But I was thinking of heading back to Denali, Alaska and build a new how next to the Denali Coven. My dear,do you remember Tanya, Kate, Eleazar, Carmen, and Garrett ?" I asked.
"Yes! It's been so long since we've saw them," She said. "But what about Alice? She's going to be the only human among vampires.: She said worriedly
"It will be ok. Remember they are vegetarians also. Everything will be ok. While we are building our new house with their help also we can keep Alice in their house," I said. "Plus, I'm pretty sure the kids miss their cousins. Oh and I did hear that Peter and Charlotte will will be coming with us. Jasper called them last night and asked if they can come over. They should be at the house possible right now."
"Peter and Charlotte are very good friends of Jasper and Alice. But I am worried they are nomadic vampires. They are non vegetarian." Esme said.
"Esme, dear. They won't hurt Alice. Peter and Charlotte actually really nice people. They are two really close friends of Jasper's. I'm sure they won't dare to destroy Alice. ." I said. Esme shivered at the word destroy.
"Ok lets not talk of that at the moment. Let's just leave." She said while standing up with Alice snuggled to her chest. I placed my hand on her back and lead her out of my office.
Esme's POV
I walked outside to Carlisle's car. I got into the passenger seat and waited for Carlisle to come out. While I was waiting Alice shivered slightly and started to cry.
"If daddy would hurry up then we could get you more warmer, sweetie pie." I said tested out the word daddy.
"Daddy is hurrying as fast as he can in a place full of humans. If mama would just hold her horses." Carlisle said while while laughing. I smiled sweetly up at him. Alice whimpered and looked up at him with big, dark brown innocent eyes. Carlisle groans. I laughed hard.
"Haha, she got you!" I said while laughing.
"Ha ha, very funny. Come on let's go shopping for Alice." Carlisle said.
"I never thought you'd say that. Ever." I said.
"Me neither." He said while chuckling slightly and driving off.
