Dreaming of Edward

Chapter 11

EPOV - Recap

"Edward? I think you might need to see this…," Esme announced her arrival, but she was not alone.

Carefully cradled in her arms wrapped in a towel was a child, my child.

"Esme?"

"You have a son Edward, he had a rough start, but he made it back to us." I could see she was fighting to hold it together for us.

The walk from the door seemed to take forever before she found her way to me. Before I realized it my hands were out eagerly waiting for the greatest treasure I could ever imagine to arrive. Next to Bella's, his heartbeat was the greatest sound in my world. I couldn't help but chuckle when I heard his thoughts.

"He called me Daddy." I cradled him close and cooed in his ear, "Yes, I'm your daddy." He was absolutely the most beautiful baby I had ever seen, inheriting the best features from each one of us having Bella's gorgeous brown curly locks and my human emerald green eyes, he was stunning.

End Recap

Edward's POV

Even with my warm son in my arms, I ached for Bella. My life would not be complete without her. Esme sat with me feeding the baby while Tanya went to see what was going on with Bella and Jasper. It had been hours since we heard anything coming from their rooms.

I will have to thank Alice when this is all over, only she could have enough forethought to have everything ready that the baby needed a month before it was born. Whether it was being a shopaholic or prepared we can't be sure and even though we make fun of her for it, time and time again it has worked to our advantage.

Unfortunately, my son has a preference for blood rather than formula, though he took both, his thoughts said the formula tasted yucky, his words not mine. I do have to admit it smelled foul to me too, but then again most things do.

"Edward, may I come in?" He knows I hate it when he blocks his thoughts, so why has he been doing it since he arrived three hours ago?

"Of course Carlisle, is Bella…?" I prompted hoping for answers.

"Edward, I did all I could to save her human body, but it was too badly broken. I am sorry, but there was no choice, I had to change her." I watched as he showed me everything from the moment he arrived.

"I see…but she'll survive right?" My hope was hanging by a thread here.

After a sigh he answered me. "Yes, she will change just fine. However, of course, we will have to relocate. She won't be able to go back to Charlie; he will have to think they both died. It's going to be rough on her and I hope she doesn't hate me for it."

"Carlisle, you did what you could to keep her human and if I hadn't asked you to save her by any means, I'd have lost her. If anyone is to blame here, it is me because I was being selfish."

"What about Jasper?"

"He is healing slowly, but healing."

"Have you taken a moment to officially meet your grandson?"

"Not since his grand entrance, may I hold him?" You could see the eagerness in his eyes as he peeked over at the bundle in my arms.

"He would like to meet his grandfather." It was so easy seeing what he thought since it was mostly in pictures. He remembered when Carlisle was trying to save him.

"He has your human eyes, he's beautiful." There was something he was not telling me still.

"Carlisle, don't hold back." He knew eventually I would find out, so he conceded.

"The others have gone." That is when I saw Rose, Emmett, Irina and Tanya setting off to track down the dog before he had a chance to get too far away.

"Carlisle…we really need to defuse this situation before an all out war breaks out. I can't risk my son getting in the middle of this, no matter how much I want to be the one who kills him."

"I know, but they wouldn't listen to reason, even Eleazar and Carmen want revenge for his attack, however I convinced them to stay with us because I'd might need help." Carlisle would not be Carlisle if he were not as compassionate as he is.

"Esme, please take our grandson so I can examine Edward." He passed him over, but not before he kissed him on the forehead.

"Edward, can you move anything yet?"

"No not yet, but the feeling is coming back." I wanted to add the pain never left, but decided against it.

"That's very good, but I need you to understand when your leg was torn at the hip joint, there is a small possibility that you may lose some mobility in that leg. It's a very small chance, but I do want you to understand it may happen."

"HOW SMALL!" I growled out.

"Maybe…five percent chance you would lose some use." I just nodded as I was not sure what to say. How do you respond to the fact that I might walk with a limp never mind trying to run or hunt?

"Edward, would you like for us to carry Bella in here so you can be with her during her change?"

"Yes, I'd like that, but only if it won't hurt her." He patted my shoulder to say he'd never do anything that would hurt Bella.

I actually felt myself relax as Carlisle and Eleazar carried Bella in to lay with me. Honestly, I was surprised that she was not thrashing and screaming as the rest of us had when we were changed. She actually looked tense more than anything else, but appeared almost peaceful. I could only hope she wasn't going to hate us for this later.

Carlisle's POV

After taking my leave of the family's company, I spent an hour pondering our next move. Edward had made it clear that he was willing to forego the vengeance he craved to prevent a war. I had to agree with him. Even with all my compassion, I would not have a problem with his death, but I didn't want my family hurt anymore, especially my grandson, there had to be a way to lead us to a peaceful resolution. If I am going to try bringing an end to this without bloodshed, I have only one choice, so I pulled out my phone and called La Push.

"Billy Black please?"

"Speaking, who's calling?"

"Carlisle Cullen, before you hang up, it's about Jacob." When I didn't hear anything, I thought he might have hung up.

Then I heard him sigh, "What's this about?"

"Jacob attacked my family and Bella Swan last night. I know he broke the treaty, but we would like to try and resolve this without any further bloodshed."

"Was Bella seriously hurt? How bad is it?"

"Yes, it's about as bad as it can get." Well, that was the understatement of the year.

"I'll have to call you back. I have your number." It was now my turn to sigh.

Watching my two sons and new daughter suffer is all I can do while I wait for the La Push elder to call back. My first stop was Jasper and Alice's room.

"How is the patient doing?" The pain was evident on Alice's face; she wasn't handling this very well.

"He's healing slowly, but he is healing. I heard your call to the dog's house; do you really think we can stop this before Rose catches him?"

"I don't know they are definitely out for blood."

It was another hour before Billy called back and asked to take Jacob back to La Push under the protection of the pack. He promised Jacob would be dealt with and agreed that when we got home, we would set up a meeting time to revisit the treaty that Jacob had broken. Even if it was unintentional, he was still at fault and they were not denying it. I held back the information regarding Bella's transformation and the early birth of my grandson, but those issues could be discussed at the meeting.

Alice's POV

After a full twelve hours, Jasper has not even as so much as opened his eyes. This is the first time since I met him that he has ever been hurt. I know he suffered for a great many years under Maria in Texas, lord knows he has enough scares to prove it. Jasper has always been the one to ground me, however, this time it was my turn to ground him. He cannot leave me, I will not let him. I cannot blame Bella for any of this, first off, it was my idea to grab her and run to Alaska. I do not regret that decision for a second; I just wish I could have seen him coming.

I have been an aunt to the baby boy now for as long as Jasper has been healing and I have yet to meet the little guy. I heard Esme talking about how beautiful he is, but I want to see him with my own eyes. I wanted Jasper and I to be able to hold him like I had seen before Jacob Black lost it.

That dog took more than just time that Jasper and I should have had together, he took the time I should have had with Bella. I had seen Edward delivering her son while I had my arm wrapped around her and holding her hand. In the last month together we have become more then best friends, we became sisters.

Sure, it was interesting to say the least when her condition would surface, but honestly, it did a lot for Jasper's and my sex life. Edward was not the only one getting late night phone sex. I remember the first time I called Jasper after listening to Bella and Edward. He was so surprised when I started talking about what I was doing, but damn I was hot and bothered after their call and I missed Jasper so much.

Afterward, he told me that at least now maybe he wouldn't be running from the house anymore if I called when Edward and Bella were having phone sex. I felt the same way too, listening to them was a bit much and I didn't even feel the emotions.

"Alice?"

"Hi Esme, is that him?"

"Yes…I thought you might like to finally meet him. Edward was worried about you two. He also said to tell you the baby has been asking for you, he apparently remembered your voice and wanted to know who it belonged to." He was as beautiful as everyone said and I missed my shot to help him into our world.

"Wait you said 'he' as in the baby wanted to know who the voice belonged to. Does that mean he has a gift?"

"Yes, he most certainly does. How could you not believe he wouldn't with parents such as his?" Esme was right, they were both gifted.

"So, Aunt Alice, would you like to hold him?" I think the grin on my face said it all because she handed him over to me.

I could not help but marvel at how he looked so much like a vampire, but yet not as much as the rest of us, so he wouldn't stand out like we do. He had our chiseled features and pale skin, but it was the subtle differences I noticed, like his emerald green eyes and a heartbeat that sounded like a hummingbird. His hair had to come from his mommy; it was Bella's brown wavy locks. Esme only lingered for a few moments longer before she flitted off with the baby to get him fed and changed.

Rosalie's POV

"Come out; come out, wherever you are. I know you're here mutt, so let's get on with it already," Emmett taunted the beast that tried to wipeout half my family in a fit of uncontrolled rage.

"Emmett, stop playing with your food." I chuckled, because Tanya knew we would never eat him. She just said it to torture him I think.

The closer to La Push he drew us, the more it irked me. I definitely did not want this dog getting back on his own turf. Of course, Carlisle picked that moment to intervene; I hesitated when my phone rang. I knew what he was going to say before I flipped it open.

"Hang back kitten, the pack is on their way to take Jacob back into La Push. Before you freak out, they do not want a war either. Jacob wasn't following the Alpha's orders."

"SO HE GETS AWAY WITH IT?"

"No Rosalie, we are all going to meet with the elder's and pack as soon as everyone here can be moved back to Forks."

"How is everyone?" Okay, so I do have a soft side, not that I let it slip through very often.

"Jasper just woke up and is looking much better; Bella should wake in a day and a half. You did a great job with Edward, he's already healed, but he refuses to leave Bella's side so I haven't seen if there are any movement issues yet."

"So what would you like us to do? Should we head back to Alaska or do we head to the house here?"

"The house, we should be able to join you in two days. That will give you guys sometime to have everything set up for the baby." If I know Alice she's already started sending things to the house, so they should be prepared for the moving trucks to start rolling up.

"Fine, but I still think we should tear him to pieces," I growled before shutting my phone.

Reluctantly, we all headed to Forks and let the pack have a wide berth in taking Jacob back the Reservation.
