Authors Note: Thank you to everyone who reviewed. I know I was evil with the cliff hanger but I worked on this chapter quickly so you wouldn't have to wait too long. I also a little bit of writers block but I'm fine now…I think.
Yummy.
I instantly straightened my arms and held Charlie away from me. He began to growl and hiss at me as he struggled to crawl up my arms towards me. I was no match for him. He was a new born after all, even if he was a new born, new born.
Before Edward could even lift his head to see what was happening Alice blurred into the room and snatch Charlie off me before backing away to the other side of the room. She was visibly struggling as Charlie fought viciously against her hold on him.
"Emmett!" She called for him and he rushed into the room and helped her hold onto Charlie. The scary thing was that even with both of them holding him they were still struggling.
I looked towards Edward and saw that Elizabeth was wriggling to turn and look at me. He was frowning and trying to hold onto her as she tried to get closer to me. I looked at her eyes and she was staring at me unblinking. But it wasn't hunger I saw in her eyes like Charlie, it was curiosity. The intensity of her stare was unnerving but I couldn't tear my gaze away from her.
Carlisle ran into the room and went straight towards the fridge I assumed to hold the bottles of blood. It would seem that my assumption was correct as I could see rows and rows of colour coded baby bottles filled with animal blood. Brown; Grizzly bear, Green; rabbit, yellow; deer, pink; mountain goat, blue; wolf and orange; Mountain lion.
"Emmett. Alice, Edward. Bring them over here." Carlisle demanded with authority but I could detect the worry in his voice. He handed a bottle to Alice and Charlie drank it quickly and hungrily.
"Jasper, you go and get the spare bottles. We will need to go hunting for more." Carlisle said and turned to Esme. "My dear, you, Jasper and I will go hunting while the others keep and eyes on Charlie and Elizabeth." All three of them left the room and Rosalie, who was still standing in the door way, turned and looked at me sympathetically.
I wrapped my arms around my legs and rested my head on my knees. I was shaking and could feel tears streaming down my face. I was extremely worried. Not about me but about my family. What if Charlie was too strong for Alice and Emmett and hurt them trying to get to my blood?
I began sobbing and Rosalie ran over to me and embraced me. To say I was shocked would be an understatement. I was absolutely astounded but right now I didn't give it a second thought and hugged her back as I cried into her shoulder.
"Shhh…Bella, its ok. Look, it's alright." She said softly and I looked towards the others. There was a mass of multi coloured bottles on top of the fridge. It appeared that Charlie drank bottle after bottle until he had consumed about two dozen before calming down enough for only Emmett to need to be holding him. He was still struggling slightly but not nearly as much as before.
I looked over at Edward who was frowning as he tried to get Elizabeth to drink from a bottle. She refused so he put it down and picked up a different type of animal blood. Again, she refused. He must have gone through every type of animal blood before she was finally drinking out of an orange bottle.
Edward smiled triumphantly, radiating pride for his daughter as she drank the mountain lion blood. He looked up at me and his face was clouded with worry. "Bella?" He took a step towards me before turning to Alice to see if it was safe for me to be close to Elizabeth. Alice nodded slightly at him and returned to his task of feeding the extremely greedy Charlie.
Edward took out a couple of orange bottles from the fridge and walked carefully over to me. I had managed to calm my sobs but tears were still flowing freely. I untangled myself from Rosalie, embarrassed by my display of emotions. She smiled warmly at me and kissed my forehead. "I told you it was ok, didn't I?" She said as she stood to allow room for Edward to sit beside me.
"Rose, would you mind holding Elizabeth?" He asked her and handed Beth to her when she smiled excitedly at him. I had never seen Rosalie as happy as she was now holding Beth. Rosalie began feeding her as she held her gently.
Edward carefully sat down on the bed beside me and wrapped his arms around me. I buried my head in his shoulder and breathed in his familiar, comforting scent. I felt myself calming and wiped away the tears from my eyes.
"Its ok, Bella. You're safe. I wouldn't let anything hurt you." He whispered in my ear as he began to stroke my hair.
I looked up at him and smile slightly. "I wasn't worried about me. I thought…I was worried that you, Alice or Emmett were going to get hurt." He studies my expression for a few seconds before chuckling softly.
"Bella, we're fine. You were more likely to get hurt than any of us." He said as he kissed my lips gently.
"Well, they are newborns. New born newborns. You know, that's the second time your family has fought of newborn vampires because of me." I sighed as I nuzzled his chest.
"Bella, we hardly fought them. They're our children. I actually think Beth's ok with the scent of your blood. Charlie is the one with the slight problem."
I looked at him incredulously. "Slight problem?"
"Ok, big problem. But he will learn to control his hunger. I think Beth is just curious of you and your scent. They were only thinking in picture because of they're limited vocabulary but Beth was just thinking of you. Charlie on the other hand, well, let's just say he was thinking of some quite graphic ways of quenching his thirst." I flinched slightly. "But all he's thinking about now is what he's drinking so I don't think he will have a problem being around you or any other humans as long as he's drinking from one of his bottles."
I nodded and looked over to Charlie. He was now lying peacefully in Emmett's arms, drinking from yet another bottle of animal blood.
"Would you like to hold Beth, Bella?" Edward asked me, smiling. I looked at him nervously and then at Beth. "It's ok. Alice 'says' it will be alright if you hold her."
I sat up as Rosalie approached us and gently handed Elizabeth to me. "You're very lucky, Bella. She's beautiful." Rose smiled at me before walking back to the fridge to collect more bottles for Beth.
I looked down at the small baby in my arms and couldn't help but smile. Her small amount of hair was sticking up in all directions just like Edward's. I ran my fingers through it gently. It was the same shade and texture as his. She gazed up at me with dark gold eyes, her small fists punching the air.
Her tiny hand wrapped around my finger. I frowned. She was really strong. "Edward?" He gently prized her fingers open to let my sore finger escape from the vice like grip. "You know, Edward, I'm quite annoyed. They both have your eyes." I said playfully and he chuckled softly. I sighed happily as Beth watched me with curiosity-filled golden eyes.
There was one other good thing to come out of this slight dilemma; I wouldn't have to get up at ridiculous hours of the night when Charlie and Beth wake up, Edward would. That's just another great advantage of having Edward for a husband.
A/N: ok, there's going to be at least one more chapter but please tell me if you think I should continue this story or create a sequel. Remember, there's still going to be Renee's reaction, showing Charlie(dad) the children, the children's powers, Bella's change and her power so please review and tell me what you think.
