The beta version of chapter 10 is up so check it out until then here is chapter 11
There was a storm coming so the Cullen's thought it would be fun to play a baseball game. Right now, I was sitting on the couch watching TV, Alice was upstairs working on the baby's nursery; Edward and I wanted to help but Alice wouldn't let us.
As I was lying in the couch I was falling in and out of sleep but I didn't want to sleep. I heard Esme come into the room. She placed a plate of Mac- and- cheese in front of me, along with a glass of water.
"Bella dear, you need to eat something." she said softly.
I sat up, making room so she could sit next me. She stroked my hair and kissed my cheek.
"Where's Edward?" she asked looking around.
"I think him, Emmett, Rosalie, and Carlisle went to go set up the baseball game."
I rubbed my eyes and took a bite of the Mac and cheese. It tasted really good and I can't remember the last time that I ate. I placed my hand on my stomach and sighed when I felt no movement. Edward and I have expecting to feel the baby move. Carlisle said I should feel movement about now, but I've felt nothing. I wanted to know that she was okay in there. I must have had a sad look on my face because Esme seemed to notice me.
"Bella, are you alright?" she asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine…Esme do you think something is wrong?"
"What do you mean by fine? You do feel alright, don't you?" she was starting to get worried.
"No, I feel fine." I assured her.
"Then what's wrong?"
"I can't feel her," I said "Carlisle said that I should feel her kicking by now but I feel nothing and I'm starting to get worried."
Esme reached over and pulled my into a loving hug. She really was like a second mother to me.
"Oh Bella, it'll be alright. She'll kick when she's ready. She's just stubborn like her mom." she laughed.
I laughed too while taking another bite of my supper. I feel like I haven't talked to Esme in a while. She told me to come to her with whatever questions I had. After all she was pregnant, so I decided to take her up on that offer.
"Esme do you think the labor will be painful?"
"I'm not sure. Labor for a human is painful. I know that I was in pain then. But we don't know whether the baby is vampire or human. If she is vampire then the labor could be easier or more painful then usual."
Great. Just what I wanted, more pain. I was about to ask her another question but was interrupted by Alice coming down the stairs and walked over to Esme and I. She smiled at me and held out her hand.
"We're ready. Edward and Emmett are waiting for us. Bella you should probably grab a sweatshirt or something."
I sighed and lifted myself up from the couch. As I started to walk up the steps I ran into Jasper.
"Hi Jasper." I smiled up at him.
"Hello Bella, where are you going?" he asked.
"To grab a sweatshirt; Alice said it may be cold." I told him.
"I'll get it, I doubt Edward would want you walking up the stairs." he smirked.
"Thanks. My gray one's hanging in the closet."
"Be right back." He nodded.
He raced up the steps and was back in two seconds with my gray sweatshirt in hand. I took it from him and walked back down the steps next to him. I threw it on and then we walked outside. I started heading to the car but noticed that no one was following me.
"The car is this way." I told them.
"We're not taking the car; we're running there." Alice said.
"Alice I can't…," but before I could finish she cut me off.
"Relax, Jasper's going to carry you," she laughed.
I shook my head and walked over to Jasper. He placed one hand under my legs and the other on my back. He lifted me easily into his arms and we were off. We arrived and he let me down. As soon as my feet hit the ground I saw Edward smile at me and make his way over.
"Hello love, I missed you." he said leaning down to kiss me.
"I missed you, too." I smiled pulling him in for a hug.
His arm wrapped around my waist and led me over to the field. I saw that there was a chair set up along with a blanket.
"Edward…"
"I wanted you to be comfortable." he smirked.
I laughed and he sat me down in the chair. He gave me one last kiss and headed over to where his family was waiting.
"Remember to root for Me." he laughed.
"Promise." I said back, giving him thumbs up.
I grabbed the blanket that was next to the chair and wrapped it around me. As I looked out onto the field I saw that Emmett, Carlisle, Alice, and Esme were on a team. As were Rosalie, Jasper, and Edward. The teams were uneven but it didn't seem to matter. Edward was up first to bat. Carlisle threw the first pitch and Edward hit it. I couldn't even see where it was going, the ball went so fast.
Edward ran around the bases automatically scoring a home run. I clapped and cheered him on and he smiled at me. Emmett was up next and Edward was now standing behind Rosalie. Emmett scored his team an out because Alice caught his ball. Everyone else batted and I cheered them on. It looked like the storm was starting to pick up so I lifted the hood on my sweatshirt over my head. I continued to watch as Edward was up to bat again; I stood up so I could cheer him on. I felt it. Oh my god. It wasn't very strong but I felt it as my baby girl kicked me from the inside. I looked back over to Edward and was relieved to see he didn't notice. I felt it again, only this time she kicked hard. I gasped and clutched my stomach.
"Bella?" I heard Edward call.
When I didn't answer he rushed over to me and grabbed my elbow to help lower me back into the chair.
"Bella, what's wrong?" he asked worried.
"Nothing is wrong. Here, feel."
I grabbed his hand and placed it where our daughter was still kicking. Edward's face was priceless, so I know he must have felt it.
"Oh my god," he said with a smile, "That's our baby girl."
"Yeah, and she likes to kick and hard." I laughed as she kicked again.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." I assured him.
The rest of the family seemed curious to what was going on and rushed over.
"What's the hold up?" Emmett said.
"Edward's daughter is kicking up a storm." I said.
"Really?" everyone said at once.
"I told she would when she was ready." Esme smiled at me.
"I know."
Everyone came closer and knelt down round me.
"Can I feel?" everyone said.
I nodded and everyone took turns placing a hand on my stomach. They all looked shocked.
"That's weird." Jasper said.
"It's beautiful." Rosalie and Alice smiled at me.
"Yes you are." Edward said.
He leaned over and pressed his lips to mine again. He started slowly but it was building as his hand still remained in my stomach and the other tangled in my hair
"Eww, stop making out!" Emmett yelled.
Edward pulled away and lifted me up. I locked my arms around his neck and closed my eyes.
"Let's get you home, I think our daughters trying to tell you that she's tired." he smiled.
"Oh, is she?" I said.
"Yes, and I know that you're tired. Esme said that you were half asleep earlier when she was talking to you." he laughed and kissed my forehead.
"So, I'm guessing the game's over." I heard Emmett say.
I just laughed and closed my eyes perfectly content.
As always review and review again!
