Birthday Gift (Part 2)
Chapter 7 (Part 2)
August 5th (2 Days before Rosalie's Birthday)
"Alice!" Emmett called upstairs. He was such a nervous wreck. Poor Emmett, I thought, He's so happy yet so nervous. Alice came downstairs to meet a frantic Emmett.
"Yes?" Alice said sweetly.
"Alice, is everything ready?"
"Of course! Does my big brother not trust me?" Alice gave a pretend offended face. Edward and I decided to let Alice and the rest of the family to make the arrangements for Rosalie's Birthday.
August 7 (Rosalie's Birthday)
Alice ran around the house wildly putting the finishing touches on everything. She had sent Emmett and Rosalie to the grocery store to get food for the human (me!).
Once the Social Worker arrived with Nicolette, a 2 year old red-headed sweet little girl (Emmett already adoredher-and he thinks he's so tough!), Alice had them park out of sight until Emmett and Rosalie came home.
We waited about 15 minutes before Alice began jumping up and down excitedly when we all heard the car pull into the driveway.
"lice, dear, please calm down," Esme said.
"Yes, please do," Edward smiled at his hyper-active sister. I gave a playful tug at his shirt. We both were sitting on the loveseat.
"Yay! Food for the human!" I exclaimed as both Emmett and Rosalie walked in the front door. I was surprised that I remembered to 'recite' my "pre-rehersed" line. Carlisle quickly stood up and took the grocery bags from Emmett. Rosalie looked a little confused to see us all sitting in the front living room (for as we all know the Cullen house is HUGE and has many living rooms-rooms in general).
Our plan was that when Carlisle went into the kitchen to put the groceries away, he would signal the Social Worker to bring Nicolette inside.
"Rosalie, could you please sit down-it might be usefu," Jasper advised. Carlisle opened the front door. And in walked the Social worker and Nicolette. Rosalie still had no idea of what was going on. Mrs. Callahan, the Social Worker, spoke first.
"Miss Cullen, this is Nicolette," she introduced. Rosalie looked up at Emmett.
"Emmett? What's going on?" Rosalie glanced from Emmett to Nicolette and back to Emmett.
"As Mrs. Callahan mentioned, the girl's name is Nicolette," He paused and looked around at everyone in the room, "And she's...our daughter now." Emmett gazed at Rosalie lovingly, but cautiously wating for her reaction.
"Really?"
"Yes. It was Edward and Bella's idea," Emmett informed her. Rosalie turned to us.
"Is this true?"
"Yes it is. Bella was so upset that we were having a baby and you weren't. She knew how much you wanted a child," Edward dissed me lightly on the forehead as I blushed slightly.
"I...I don't know what to say...except--thank you, Bella. Were all of you in on this?" There was a chorus of nodding heads.
Four Weeks Later
Rosalie and Emmett adored Nicolette. Soon after the first introduction, Rosalie came to, gave me a sisterly hug, and thanked me for doing what she never had the courage to do. Then after that the topic of mortals and immortals came up concerning Nicolette. Emmett and Rosalie had decided to wait until Nicolette was older to change her.
I'm very sorry this chapter is so short (again) but I thought since it's a continuation of Part 1 it should be shorter. Thanks for all your reviews.
1 request though--can I have at least 3 reviews giving me ideas on how Edward and Bella go through the pregnancy, please...THANKS A BUNDLE!!
