Chapter 9 (2 months before the anniversary of )
Every second of my life I dedicated to my family, it was hard to imagine that I, a vampire, had problems, but I had, I could not squat to go pick up a pencil falling to the floor because the belly was in the front, I could not clean my own house because the smell of cleaning products gave me nausea and worse, to make love with this big belly was frustrating!
'Do not worry, soon your life will return to normal.'
'If that one and that a life of vampire can be called normal.' I answered.
'Esme, existential crisis is a thing of adolescent and you are a beautiful vampire adult.' Carlisle said as he stood up.
'You've got to go?' I asked making a crying face.
'If I do not be a vampire I would be late, but I think I'll arrive on time in the hospital! Once I get back we'll hunt. " He replied.
'And what I'll do until you get back? I'm really getting bored, Bella is cleaning the house and the smell makes me vomit, Jasper does not tolerate playing chess with me, Edward always beats me at chess and if I leave Alice and Rose 5 minutes alone they start looking for the car keys I hid them! '
Carlisle looked at me with suspicion.
'And why did you hide the car keys at them?'
'A week ago they are trying to drag me to a clothing store for children.' I said defeated.
You never refused to go shopping with them, what has this story that you were hiding?'
'Do not laugh.' I took a deep breath and spoke. 'If I give in I'll have to redo the room of Will. "
"Why?"
'Alice is planning the closet occupies an entire floor of the house! "
Carlisle did not laugh, but Emmett laughed enough for the two of them.
'Emmett Cullen stop laughing now or I'll fix your Arnes! " Carlisle yelled as he went to the hospital.
~//~//~ 12 hours after Carlisle's Pov
Since pregnant Esme has hunted very little, although when she's always hunting she restores what she should have been drinking. But today her office has nearly tripled, which puzzled me.
'Esme, how are you feeling?'
'I'm dying of thirst, I feel like I had spent months without hunting.'
'You still have head?' I asked puzzled.
Esme was living as a human, she ate three meals a day, had the physiological, feeling sick, she saw herself forced to breathe, but today, since I returned from hospital she was acting like a vampire.
'Esme when was the last time you ate?'
'Yesterday before you go to the hospital.' She said and then turned her attention to the deer that she was draining.
'And when was the last time you went to the bathroom?'
'Five minutes after you go to the hospital. Why?' She asked me dropping the deer and dry for another.
'Nothing, I'm thinking one thing, but never mind.'
I barely finished talking and she ran after the deer around. I was still wondering why the human needs of Esme had gone when the cry of her.
'Please God she has not attacked anyone!' I asked with all my strength.
But what I saw made me literally freezing! Esme was lying on the forest floor, her breathing was broken, his legs were wet, her hands were on her stomach and my Esme's face conveyed the pain she was feeling.
When I squatted beside her, she had another contraction and I knew exactly what to do, but here in the woods was not the place for my son to born. I caught her carefully in my arms and ran home hoping the bottom of my heart that Alice warn everyone that Esme was in labor.
'Forgive me Esme, I never should have let staff go so far away from home, I should have known it was going to happen, your body was giving the signs, please forgive me!'
It was very hard for me to see Esme suffer and know that this time I would have to be Dr. Cullen did not let things easier, I simply wanted to be the her Carlisle!
~//~//~ Esme's POV
Carlisle was apologizing me as he did when he turned me and it made me love even more this vampire who chose to spend eternity next to me!
'It's not your fault Carlisle our son decided to be born now.' I said before another contractions. 'What do we do?'
'I'll take you home, you are in labor and the forest is no place for a baby to born. Esme I need you to be strong and stay calm.' As he was calm that soothed me as well. 'Esme I'm sure Will will be born human, I have a theory but that's not the chance now, you need to know is that your labor will have to be the traditional way .'
'Why can not a c-section?' I asked looking for air.
'Esme if Will was a vampire he would have used his teeth against the placenta to be born, but instead you are having contractions the waterbag already broke. Honey if I use my teeth to try to take him, if I bite him and he is human he will become an immortal, or die if I can not make it in time.'
At this point I noticed we were coming home. Edward and Bella were waiting at the door and Carlisle took me to our bedroom, put me in our bed and examined me.
'It will probably take a while, try to stay very calm.' He said when he sat beside me in bed.
'We'll leave you two alone, Carlisle call us if you need.' Edward said as he walked with Bella.
'What is your theory?' I asked to distract me as another contraction hit me, Carslisle helped me to sit down.
'You have acted like a human eating, going to the bathroom, when Bella was pregnant for Renesmee she had to drink blood like us to meet the needs of Nessie, I think with you is the same, your actions are to meet Will's human needs ... ' At that point he stopped because I had the strongest contraction until then.
'Esme to your cervix is fully dilated and your contractions are three minutes apart. At the next contraction push as hard as you can, okay?'
I nodded with my head not to scream.
'Now Esme Push! "
I push while I shout, the pain was worse than the pain I felt when I was human.
'Again Esme!' Carlisle ordered. And I pushed again and again and again.
'Carlisle I can not stand it.' I cried.
'I'm already seeing his head Esme, might just do it once, I know you can!
I took a deep breath and did what Carlisle had told me to do, soon after I heard the loud crying of Will for the first time.
Carlisle gave me Will wrapped in a blanket of light blue and then used his poison to help me recover.
'You do not need it, I'll be recovered soon.' I said as I discovered my baby to take a good look at him.
'In fact as I am Husband and Father is my duty to ensure that you and all our children are healthy, happy and safe and if that help you recover faster then I'm doing my duty.' He said getting up and come sit next to me.
Will's skin was as white as ours, but different from my skin it was soft and warm, his hair like mine was brown and full of fluffy little curls.
'It's normal he has so much hair?' I asked curiously.
'Knowing who are his parents, I doubt that William is never going to be a normal boy, but in fact he should not have all that hair ...' As Carlisle spoke Will opened his eyes and it made us stop breathing.
The right eye of Will was blue, but the right eye was golden brown.
'Interesting, he pulled over you.' Carlisle said laughing, I would not forgive that joke.
'As he's a boy I'd say it's a draw, he's so small.' I said holding the hand of Will.'
'He is premature and human, I need to take him to the hospital and intern him in neo-natal ICU, and you have to pretend to be a human that is still weak because of the childbirth.'
'You can not take care of it here at home?' I asked.
'Yes I can, but the whole town knows that you were pregnant and problems are going to work if you do not stop by to give birth or be hospitalized after a home birth.'
'How long he'll have to stay there?'
'If you nurse him, Will you gain the weight you need in a week.'
'What do you mean by nursing him?'
'Your body has adjusted during pregnancy and your breasts are full, I'm sure it will not turn William into one of our kind, you want to try?' Carlisle asked me happy.
'Now?'
'The sooner you do it better, not to be afraid.' He encouraged me.
I decided to try it, I knew what to do so I spent Will for Carlisle as I sat and unbuttoned my blouse, I felt relieved when Will began to suck, his eyes were fixed on mine and I was much happier to see that he knew who I was calling me mama with the gift of his.
A few minutes later the room was packed, all our family came to see the new member. If my baby was not so thirsty I'm sure that would have left Rosalie hold it a little. But before Will finish his first breakfast. Carlisle led us to the hospital, we had to ask Edward to drive the car to the story seem real and ask for Will not use his gift.
