Chapter 11: The name game
Boy and girl. Girl and boy. I smiled. That's exactly what Alice said when she was pointing out the tow little figure on the monitor, "Boy, and girl. Girl and boy."
I laid down on the bed, staring at the white ceiling above me, dreaming. I took a deep breath when Alice came into my room, a big smile on her face and jumping up and down on the balls of her feet.
"Bella, you know what I just realized?" It looked like she was restraining a scream.
"What, Alice?" I asked hesitantly. Anytime now, she would explode.
"You have yet to come up with any names." She whispered in my ear.
"So??" Shouldn't that be done after the baby-I mean, babies were born?
"So. So??? Bella, that is a very important subject you must go over. With us."
"Oh, no."
"Oh, yes." She smiled evilly at me before turning to the door. She placed her hand on the doorknob lightly, turning it over just a bit, teasing me.
"NO, ALICE-"
But I was already to late.
She had unleashed the full force of each family member screaming at each other the names they thought they should be the ones I will use.
"I want her to be named Marissa Lillian, after me."
"No she should be named ALICE!!!"
"I think the boy should be named Leonardo, for the bravery he is bound to get from his grandfather."
"No, he should be named ANGELO!!!!"
"Why Angelo Emmett?"
"Because…because…umm…IT'S A COOL NAME!!!"
"It's not!"
"Is too!"
"Is not!"
"Hey, at least it's better than JASPER!!!"
"Shut up, Jasper is a cool name."
"Yeah, for a ghost."
"I SAID, SHUT UP!!!"
"MAKE ME!!!!"
"Whatever you choose Bella, it will be fine with me." Oh, Esme, how I love you.
"EVERYBODY!!!!! SHUT. UP!!!!!!!!!" I screamed over all their voices and Jasper and Emmett's fighting. They all stopped what they were doing and looked over to me with their mouths hanging open.
"I know what their names will be."
"YOU DO?!?!!?!" They all chorused at the same time.
"Yes,"
"Well then tell us!" Demanded Alice, who's pixie like figure stomped over to me and her shadow crept on to me in the most intimidating ways.
"Well, for the boy I was thinking Damon-" I didn't get to finish.
"What?!"
"Why Damon?"
"Where did you even get the name Damon from? I've never heard it before in my life."
"Damon. Damon. Damon. I like it."
"Damon?"
"Whatever you choose is fine with me dear, it's a lovely name."
I had made up my mind that his middle name would be Edward. No matter how much it hurt me to do so.
"And his middle name would be Edward." Everyone paused for a moment in silence but then Alice broke it without hesitation.
"What about the girl?"
"Well, the girl I had been thinking of, Ever Amadora."
"Ever Amadora?"
"What a lovely name!"
"Amadora?"
"What kind of name is Ever Amadora?"
"Ever…Ever Amadora…It's Italian isn't it?"
"Ever…like forever get it?"
I smiled. They all seemed to approve the names, so they left the room silently with the exception of Alice. She frowned, and turned to sit on the bed. She held my warm hand in her cold ones and looked at me deeply with her warm honey eyes.
"Bella, I think it's time."
"Time to what Alice?" I looked at her in confusion.
"Time to tell him." She looked down at the white comforter, her lashes sending long shadows across her face. Her pixie hair was in her usual disarray, but with style. I bit my bottom lip to keep from crying.
"I'm not sure if I'm ready for that Alice." I'm glad my voice didn't crack while I was speaking, that would have made the scenario a lot more horrible than it really is. Tears welded up in my eyes, and I looked up to the ceiling to keep them from spilling.
"Bella, we can't wait any longer. He should know. He has the right to know."
"I know, Alice you're right," I hesitated. "I just don't have it in me to tell him myself."
"Would you like me to do it for you?" She looked up at me, biting the inside of her cheek; a human habit she displayed often to, "Keep up the act."
"I would appreciate it very much thank you."
"Alright, then." She stood up and left the room silently. When the door finally closed, I let the tears spill.
Alice POV
I dialed the familiar phone number. Again. And again. No answer. He's probably to busy with his stupid "Distractions". Asshole. Doesn't even answer the damn phone these days. I know he's doing it on purpose. He's future keeps on changing, I only get flickers once in a while if I feel like actually seeing. At last, after the 50th time I had kept on pressing redial, he had answered.
"What do you want, Alice?"
"Well, excuse me for delivering news." I said sarcastically.
"What do you want?"
"Well, I was going to tell you, but if you don't stop it with the angry attitude towards me, then I won't."
"Fine, then. Don't' tell me. I don't care."
"I thought you would care, considering this involves Bella."
"What's wrong with Bella?"
"I thought you didn't want to know."
"Alice, please. Stop playing with me and get on with it."
"I'm just trying to deliver a message to you, but apparently you didn't want to know, so-"
"Alice!!! Enough! It doesn't seem serious. Knowing you, your probably just trying to convince me to come back."
He was about to hang up but not before I could tell him:
"By the way, you're going to be a dad in less than 4 months." I hung up the phone and waited for him to call back. 3…2…1…
The shrill of the phone rung before I could even finish counting.
"Well, Edward? Do you care, now?"
A\N: A cliffy!!! And a really awful one too!!! I'm so evil! But don't worry my fellow fans, I will post the next chapter tomorrow!! Next chapter: Edward's reaction and return!!!! YAY!!!!!!!! I know you've all been waiting for that!!!! Anyway, I want to thank all the fans that suggested names, especially the one with all the Italian names. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU!!!! Unfortunately, Bella did not end up like octo-mom so I could not give the babies names the ones you suggested. Sorry, I know you tried and that's what counts. Okay, I will say this one last time, EDWARD IS NOT GOING TO MARRY TANYA!!! IT WAS A FREAKING JOKE AND EVERYBODY'S LIKE, 'OMG! IS IT FOR REALZ? NO, IT IS NOT, I WILL NEVER DO THAT IN ANY OF MY STORIES BECAUSE TANYA IS A BITCHY DRAMA QUEEN THAT THINKS THE WORLD REVOLVES AROUND HER!!! SHE IS NOT WORTHY OF EDWARD!!! OR ANYBODY ELSE. TO ME, TANYA'S THE MOST UGLIEST PERSON ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH BECAUSE OF HER NASTY PERSONALITY. DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT SHE DID IN BREAKING DAWN AT EDWARD AND BELLA'S WEDDING?!?!?!?!?! SHE HUGGED HIM FOR A LITTLE BIT TO LONG. BELLA DID NOT ABSOLUTELY NOT LIKE THAT. I DIDN'T EITHER. Anyway, stop asking me about because I'm about to delete the part anyway. I AM SORRY FOR MY MISATTEMPT FOR A GOOD JOKE. IT WAS HORRIBLE EVEN I ADMIT IT!!! Okay you know what to do now my fanpire army: REVIEW!!!! :) love ya all.
