Monday I had the day off and something didn't seem right. I realized that I might be pregnant. I rushed down to a nearby drugstore and bought a test. I took the test and could not believe it. I was pregnant. I immediately called Seth. He was just as shocked as I was. Then I called Carlisle at home since he also had the day off.
"Hello?" Emmett's voice asked over the phone.
"Hey, Emmett, I need to talk to Carlisle," I said quickly.
"About what? Are you pregnant or something?" Emmett asked teasing a little.
"How did you know? Wait, Alice saw it didn't she?" I answered.
"Yes, she did. Here's Carlisle," Emmett replied.
"Hello, so Alice was correct, you are pregnant," Carlisle greeted me.
"Why did I call if Alice already knew?" I muttered to myself.
"Alice wants to talk to you," Carlisle said ignoring my comment to myself.
"Put her," I replied.
"Hey, Emmaline!" Alice greeted me in her normal cheerful tone.
"Before you ask, yes, fine, you can throw me a baby shower," I said with a bit of annoyance in my tone.
"Thank you! Hey, wanna come over now? I haven't seen you in a while," She answered.
"Sure, why not," I replied.
"Good, see you soon!" Alice said then hung-up.

When I got to the Cullens' home, I parked out in front. Before I could open my door, Alice was there and opened it for me.
"Jasper wants to see you," She said as she sort of dragged me inside.
"Hey, Jasper, how've you been?" I greeted him.
"Good, why do you ask?" He answered confused.
"I don't know," I replied.
"Well… Are you gonna tell her or not?" Alice said impatiently.
"Yes. Emmaline, I finally got my degree in psychology, with Alice as my assistant," Jasper said with excitement as he looked down at Alice.
"That's great, but why are you telling me this?" I answered excited for him and confused.
"First, I know you've been looking for a psychiatrist. Second, Alice had a vision," He replied.
"What was your vision Alice?" I asked intrigued.

"Your daughter, Madelyn, is Bipolar like you. We figured, if you wanted, Jasper could help," Alice answered.

My face was blank, but, of course, Jasper knew what I was feeling.
"It's okay Emmaline, if you want Alice and I can help," Jasper said, immediately calming me down.
"Sounds good," I replied calmly, thanks to Jasper.
"Hey, how are you?" Carlisle asked as he walked in.
"Good, why?" I answered.
"Just wondering," He answered.
"Hey, Alice, is my baby gonna be a boy or girl?" I asked randomly.
"You want to know? Okay, it's gonna be a girl. Wanna know her name?" Alice answered.
"Sure," I replied.
"Alison Taylor," Alice answered.
"I should go, Seth will be getting home from work soon and wondering where I am," I said trying to excuse myself politely.
"Okay, see ya soon," Alice said cheerfully.

When I got home Seth was waiting for me. When he saw me he smiled and kissed me.
"Why do you smell like vampire?" He asked me.
"I went to see the Cullen's today. Oh, Honey, I just thought of something I should tell you, Maddie's Bipolar," I said.
"Oh," Was all he said in reply.
"How was your day?" I asked trying to change the subject.
"Well let's see. Embry came back to work and I found out that you're pregnant. Other than that my day was pretty uneventful. What did you do today?" He answered.
"I went to the Cullen's house and found out that I'm pregnant. That was about it for interesting stuff," I answered.
"Why did you go over there anyway?" Seth asked.
"I called them to talk to Carlisle. Alice had a vision I have another kid. She wanted me to come over. Jasper got his degree in psychology and is now a psychiatrist with Alice as his assistant," I answered.
"Does Alice know much about the baby?" He asked.
"She told me the gender and the name for it," I replied.
"Can I know if you know?" Seth questioned.
"Sure, it'll be a girl named Allison Taylor," I answered.
"Beautiful," Seth muttered under his breath.

A month later my sister-in-law, Leah, came to visit. Though she did not like vampires, she got over the fact that I did. She brought her six year old daughters, Jacqueline and Carolina. It was Saturday so Seth had the day off.
"Hey, how are you?" Leah greeted Seth and me as I opened the door.
"Uncle Seth!" Jacqueline and Carolina squealed as they ran over to Seth and hugged him.
"Hey Jacky; hey 'Lina" Seth said scooping them up.
"Hey Seth," Leah said, whacking Seth on the shoulder.
"Hey Leah, come on in," Seth replied.

"Well you can definitely tell you're pregnant," Leah said to me.

"Yep," I replied glancing down at my stomach.
"Hey, I grabbed your mail for you. I hope you don't mind," Leah answered handing me a pile of mail.
"Thank you?" I said confused.
"You're welcome," She replied.
As we walked into the family room I looked through the mail. There was an important looking envelope. It was a wedding invitation, from my sister and her now fiancé… Paul Lahote. I knew they were dating, but I didn't know that he had imprinted on her. Then I saw when it would be and that Katie had asked if I would be her maid-of-honor. By that time I would have a one month old baby, so it would be difficult to be part of the wedding, especially the maid-of-honor.
"Leah did you and Andrew get a wedding invite?" I asked looking up from the mail.
"Yeah, why?" She asked in return.
"It's just that Katie asked for me to be her maid-of-honor and by then I would have a one month old baby," I replied.
"She asked me to be one of her bridesmaids, and I'll have a one month old baby too, that's one reason why I came over, to tell you I'm pregnant!" She answered.
"Really?" I asked shocked.
"Yep!" Leah replied.

Leah, Jacqueline, and Carolina stayed for lunch and for a little bit of the afternoon.

Seven and a half months later
My baby shower was strange; I had Jasper, Emmett, and Carlisle there. Emmett kept teasing me about being pregnant again. He did that until Jasper told him to stop and Rosalie whacked him for not stopping.
It was also strange because I didn't feel any pain, but Jasper told me to stay calm. I didn't get what he was talking about until approximately ten minutes later when all the guests had left, except Elaine, Emily, and Katie.
"Ow!" I shrieked and seconds later Carlisle was next to me.
"It'll be okay, just breath. Emmett go call Seth and tell him the baby is on its way," Carlisle said calmly, as if this happened all the time.
"Got it," Emmett said just before he ran out of the room.
"Alice, did you see this coming?" Jasper asked, glancing at me looking worried.
"No, and I've been carefully paying attention to the baby," Alice answered looking worried as well.
"I can't get her calm. Either of them," Jasper said worried.
"Jasper, don't worry, it's supposed to hurt," I told him between breaths, trying not to scream in pain.
"Seth's on his way," Emmett reported as he walked back in.
"Good," I said as calmly as I could.

Fifteen minutes later Seth arrived. By that time I had been carried upstairs to Alice and Jasper's room where I lay in painful labor in Alice's bed. Jasper had gone hunting or something to get away from the house.
"Oh Sweetie," Seth said as he rushed over to me and kissed me quickly.
"Carlisle, I'm ready," I said, after a contraction and taking a deep breath in.

Fifteen minutes later Allison Taylor was born. She lay in my arms asleep, unaware of the world around her. Everyone except Seth, of course, and Carlisle, who was cleaning up, had left.
"Carlisle, can you bring Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett in here? I want to ask them something," I asked looking up from Ally.
"Sure," He answered, and then rushed out of the room to get them.
"What?" Rosalie said annoyed as they all came in.
"Well I was thinking that if something happens to Seth or me, if you could care for Abby and Ally? Alice, would you and Jasper care for Matt and Maddie if that happens?" I asked glancing quickly at Seth.
"Yes!" Rosalie answered without looking at Emmett.
"Sure," Jasper and Alice said together after a moment.
"You know, only Carlisle and Bella have met your other kids," Emmett said.
"Who's taking care of them?" I asked looking at Seth.
"Sam and Emily; I'll go call them and tell them to bring the kids over," Seth replied getting up.

Ten minutes later

"Daddy!" I heard Maddie squeal downstairs.
"Daddy, why are we at my doctor's house?" Abby asked as they walked upstairs.
"Dr. Cullen is a friend of your mom and me, and you have a new baby sister," Seth told her as they walked in.
"Momma!" Matthew and Maddie said reaching towards me from Seth's arms when they saw me.
"Rosalie, Emmett; the oldest is Abby. Alice, Jasper; the two in Seth's arms are Matt and Maddie," I said.
"Hi Abby; I'm Emmett and this is my wife Rosalie," Emmett said pointing to himself and Rosalie.
"What about us?" Matthew said to Emmett.
"Hi Matt; hi Maddie," Emmett replied.
"Hey Abby; hey Matt; hey Maddie. I'm Alice, and this is my husband Jasper," Alice said cheerfully.
"Hi, um, is Jasper okay?" Abby asked sweetly.
"He's fine," Alice replied looking at Jasper who looked like he was in pain.
"Jasper, why don't you go help Edward and Bella in the kitchen," Carlisle said.
"Good idea," Jasper said as he left.
"I heard the rest of Seth and Emmaline's kids were coming," Esme said sweetly as she walked in.
"Yep," Seth said.
"Who's who?" Esme asked sweetly, even though she already knew.
"Abby's the oldest; then Matt and Maddie are the middle two. They're the ones in Seth's arms," I answered.
"Hey Abby, Matt, and Maddie; I'm Esme, Dr. Cullen's wife," She said in her normal sweet tone.
"Hi Mrs. Cullen," Maddie said reaching towards her. Esme glanced at Carlisle, then me, then Seth before gently taking her from Seth's warm arms into her ice cold arms.
"You can call me Esme," She said smiling. I figured it was because she was surprised how polite my three year old daughter was, but I wasn't completely sure.
"You're cold like him," Maddie said pointing at Carlisle.
"Emmett, can you baby-sit with Rosalie and Alice tomorrow?" I asked trying to change the subject before Maddie could ask why Esme and Carlisle are so cold.
After looking at Rosalie for a moment he answered, "Sure, I guess."
"Great, now Seth doesn't have to call off work," I said giving Seth an 'I told you I could get them too' look.
"Well the kids and I should probably get going. It's already past their bedtime," Seth said. Then he walked over to Ally and me and gave us each a kiss, except my was on the lips and Ally's was on the forehead.
"Good night Sweetie," I said looking up at him.
"Good night," He answered taking Maddie out of Esme's arms and leaving.
Once they were out of their hearing range Alice said, "When are you going to tell them? We can't do this for the rest of their lives."
"I know, I just don't want to scare them," I answered. Then I turned to Carlisle and said, "Where is she going to sleep? I doubt you have anything for a human baby."
"Actually Emmett and Rosalie, who pretended to be pregnant, bought you a really nice crib for tonight and for you to take home," He answered.
"Are you serious? You bought me a crib? Rosalie it must have tortured you to pretend to be pregnant!" I said extremely surprised.
"Well, the crib is your baby shower gift. Yes, it did torture me. People kept asking questions like when are you due and is it a boy or girl, but we were the only ones who could fake it," She replied.
"Alice and Jasper had been seen to recently to pretend; same with Bella and Edward. Esme couldn't because Carlisle would have mentioned it at work," Emmett continued.
"Well thanks Rose," I said.
"What about me? I had to pretend to have a pregnant wife!" Emmett exclaimed, accidently waking Ally.
"Nice," Rosalie said sarcastically, then whacked him in the chest with the back of her hand.
"Rose, the baby's just hungry," I said.
"Sorry," She apologized to Emmett. Then she turned to me and said, "You know Emmaline, you're not that bad. It's Elaine who still sometimes annoys the crap out of me."
"Emmaline, do you want some privacy?" Carlisle asked politely over Ally's crying.
"That would be nice. Thank you," I replied
after everyone left the room I fed Ally. Then Emmett came in and set up the crib. After putting Ally in the crib I quickly fell asleep.

Every time Ally cried that night Rosalie was there in seconds to help.
