Chapter Ten
Bella's POV
I stood up and grabbed Darci. I didn't want her to walk. When we made it off the plane Alice and Jasper when car hunting.
Alice came back first with a yellow Porsche. She opened the doors and told Carlisle and Esme to sit up front. She's going to ride with Jasper.
No one talked for most of the ride. Everyone's wondering what's in store for us. But I'm wondering something different.
I'm wondering how Darci could grow up so fast in a day... Why she has so many powers...
"Mommy? What's wrong?" Darci asks looking up at me.
"Nothing honey..."
"Bella, honey? What's wrong?" My angel asks looking over at us.
"Nothing..."
"Well why are you crying if its nothing? Don't cry..." He wipes the tears, that I missed, from my cheeks.
"I'm just scared..." I lie. I have no idea why I'm crying if I'm thinking about Darci's powers...
"Bella..." Edward lifts me up and sets me on his lap. "Darci? Will you do me a favor?"
She nods, happy to do anything for us.
"Can you go sit on Grandma's lap and talk to her?"
"Okay..." She gets off my lap and jumps into Esme's.
Edward's POV
Is everything okay? Esme asks.
I nod.
"Bella? Honey tell me what's wrong." I let her lay her head on my chest. I kiss her head.
"I don't know why I was crying. I was only thinking about Darci's powers. I was wondering how she's grown up so fast in only a day..."
I turn her to face me. "I think your tears were a sign...telling you that she's like you."
"But she looks like you the most. She has your hair and your eyes...mine are brown and hers are topaz like yours. She's beautiful like you. How is she like me?"
"Well she certainly has your power. She has a power like yours. Well sort of like yours. See she can't think of a power and then she has it. She's got the power to control her body like you. See, look at her. Does she look like a newborn or an eight year old?"
Darci then turns and smiles widely at Bella.
"She can interpret the way someone feels, she can change someone's appearance..." Bella says, trailing off.
"Yes, your getting the point!" I say, turning her around so she faces me. "I love you, you are my angel..." I put my forehead on hers.
"I love you too." Bella says, kissing my nose.
"You and Darci are my girls and no one will ever take you two away from me." I say, pulling her closer to my chest.
"Okay...We're here." Esme says dreadfully.
"Are you ready?" I ask Bella.
She nods, unable to say anything.
Its already night out so we're good.
I put Bella on the seat beside me and get out. I take Bella's hand and help her out. Darci is already out so Bella bends down and picks her up. I put my arm around Bella's waist and we start walking.
Esme and Carlisle. Alice and Jasper. Rosalie and Emmett.
We see Jane and she silently take us to Aro. When Aro sees us he stands and puts his hands together.
"Oh! And who might this be?" Aro asks trying not to take Darci and run.
"I am Darci-Rose Alice Cullen." She states, amazing Aro.
"How old is she?" Aro asks eyeing Darci.
"She was born today. She has a power similar to Bella's." I say taking a step back, pulling Bella along with me.
"Oh, I won't do anything! You are my guests, but hopefully you will live here for now on!" Aro says stepping back also.
"We will only stay if you meet our conditions." Edward says to Aro. To Demetri, (yea he's been standing there this hole time...) "Why don't you show the girls to their rooms."
Demetri looks at Aro, Aro nods, and Demetri tell the girls to follow.
Once the girls were out of earshot (even for vampires that's kinda hard...) Aro told us to sit at the table. Carlisle, Emmett, Jasper, and I sat on one side while the three older men sat on the other.
"Number One: Do NOT kill humans when we are in earshot. Number Two:" Emmett snickered and I kicked him under the table. "You will NOT tell us what to do. We will do it if it is reasonable. Number Three: you will NOT touch Bella or Darci-Rose. If you do we are leaving. Number four: Don't even try to ask us to use our powers for your amusement. Those are my four rules. Do you guys have anything to add?" I ask turning to each of them.
"I have something to add to number three. Don't try to touch Rose either." Emmett adds, pointing to each of the older men, trying to be funny.
"Same goes for Alice." Jasper says, raising a hand in a wave sort of thing.
"Esme too." Carlisle says.
Bella's POV
Demetri led us down a dark and damp like hall. He opened the door to medium sized room for Edward, Darci, and me. He left us their. He didn't show us anyone else's room.
I motioned for them to follow me. This hole time I haven't let Darci walk by herself. The girls and I piled into my room.
There are toys for Darci and a little bed for her in the farthest corner from the door. I set Darci on the floor so she could play. And I walked over to the king-sized bed next to the door. I got on it and put my back against it. Alice came and plopped her butt right next to mine and put her arm around my shoulder, I put my head on her shoulder.
Rose came and sat on my other side, but not as close as Alice is. Esme sits in the middle of the bed.
"Are you okay Bella?" Esme asks, pushing the hair from my face.
"Yeah, I'm just nervous." I sigh.
"There's nothing to be nervous about." Rose says, sooting closer to me.
"But what if they don't like the conditions? What if they get rid of them? I won't be able to live with myself if they get rid of them." I whisper, trying not to upset Darci.
"Don't think such things! Come on Bella! Four great, strong men against three 3,000 year old men!" Alice says, trying to be reassuring.
"Sorry to burst your bubble sis, but, think about it! The guard! Ring any bells?" Rose soots closer now, putting an arm around my shoulder like Alice.
"Oh yeah..." Alice says looking away.
"Anyway, don't listen to this butt-heads." Esme says, knocking their heads together. "Everything's going to be okay!"
"Why don't we go see our bedrooms now?!" Rose says, getting excited.
"Darci, come on honey." I say, getting off the bed.
She glides over to me and takes my hand. "No more carrying Mommy." She whispers. I try not to laugh.
Edward's POV
"We agree." Aro says after a long pause.
"Why don't you go back to your wives and tell them the good news." Marcus tells us. "Demetri, take them to their rooms." He says without looking away.
Demetri appears and motions us to come along. The walk to the rooms was quiet, no one talked because no one wanted Demetri to listen.
Demetri stopped at a door and left. We look at each other and walk in. We find Bella and Darci sleeping on the big bed and the other three in a circle playing taboo. I lay behind Bella and put my arms around her, pulling her closer to me.
Esme, Rose, and Alice are a team and Carlisle, Emmett, and Jasper are the other team. Boys against girls. I watched them play and I laughed to myself a little. Keeping Bella and Darci close. Darci woke up after a while and went to her bed and fell asleep again.
When Bella woke up, she turned around and smiled. "Do you wanna play taboo?" She asked after I kissed her.
"Sure." I say, pulling her up and off the bed.
"Hey. We could use your help!" Alice says, pulling Bella down next to her.
So for the next couple hours we (the adults) played taboo, while Darci-Rose slept.
"Okay, I'm pooped! I'm going to bed!" Emmett says, pulling Rosalie up next to him.
"We are too." Alice says pulling Jasper out the door.
"I guess we should too." Carlisle says. "Call if you need anything."
"'Night hun." Esme says, giving Bella and Darci a kiss on the forehead. "Sleep tight."
"Darci, go lay down. Try to sleep more." Bella cooed.
I pull Bella up on the bed and pull the covers over her and me. "What are you doing?" Bella asks.
"I'm going to bed. What do you think I'm going?" I put on an innocent face.
Bella's POV
"I love you." I say kissing his nose.
"I love you too." He says pulling me closer.
Darci is sleeping so I decide to put a little show on for Edward. I pull covers over Darci, to maybe make her not hear.
I pull out a CD player and put a CD in.
(I love this song so ha! Idk I'm being weird...)
'Cupid's Chokehold' by the Gym Class Heroes started to play and I started to sing and dance to it.
"Ba ba da da Take a look at my girlfriend It's been some time since we last spoke And I know it sounds so old I mean she even cooks me pancakes We even got a secret handshake (ba ba da da, ba ba da da) Take a look at my girlfriend Take a look at my girlfriend It's been awhile since we talked last and I'm tryin' hard not to talk fast And I know you heard the last song about the girls that didn't last long I love it when she calls my phone It's gonna be a long drive home but I know as soon as I arrive home Take a look at my girlfriend Take a look at my girlfriend Take a look at my girlfriend
Ba ba da da
Ba ba da da
Ba ba da da
Ba ba da da
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
This is gonna sound like a bad joke
But momma I fell in love again
It's safe to say I have a new girlfriend
But cupid got me in a chokehold
And I'm afraid I might give in
Towels on the mat my white flag is wavin'
And Alka Seltzer when my tummy achesIf that ain't love then I don't know what love is
And she loves the music that my band makes
I know I'm young but if I had to choose her or the sun
I'd be one nocturnal son of a gun
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
But dad I'm finally thinkin' I may have found the one
Type of girl that will make you way proud of your son
But I promise this is on a whole new plane
I can tell by the way she says my name (ba ba da da)
She even got her very own ringtone
If that ain't love then I don't know what love is (ba ba da da)
And I open the door take off my coat and throw my bag on the floor
She'll be back into my arms once more for sure
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
She's got a smile that would make the most senile
Annoying old man bite his tongue
I'm not done
She's got eyes comparable to sunrise
And it doesn't stop there
Man I swear
She's got porcelain skin of course she's a ten
And now she's even got her own song
But movin' on
She's got the cutest laugh I ever heard
And we can be on the phone for three hours
Not sayin' one word
And I would still cherish every moment
And when I start to build my future she's the main component
Call it dumb call it luck call it love or whatever you call it but
Everywhere I go I keep her picture in my wallet like here
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)"
