Okay, thank you for all the wonderful ideas you sent me. I loved them all and finally decided on this…
Chapter 13
BPOV
"Mommy, I no wanna sleep." My daughter said to me. Her brown eyes wide and her perfect lips sticking out in a pout. I almost gave in and let her stay awake, almost.
"Nope, you have to. You have a big day tomorrow. You can't be sleepy at your birthday party. You don't turn two every day."
She groaned and Edward laughed from behind me.
"Come on, Ally, the quicker you go to sleep the quicker you get presents." Edward said cheerfully. I had to roll my eyes. Edward spoiled Allison rotten. Allison smiled at that. We both kissed her forehead and turned to leave the room.
"Wait" she said, her quick eyes flitted to the CD player and back.
"Pwease" Edward walked to her tiny kid's stereo and hit play. The soothing melody of Allison's lullaby drifted into the room.
"Okay, you got your music, now goodnight" Edward said.
"Night"
I turned the lights off and Edward took my hand as I slowly shut the door. We walked to our room and sat on the bed.
"Which one first?" I asked.
"How about, "Allison Eats Food" he said with a smile.
"Sure, I love that one" Edward slid the home movie into the DVD, walked back to the bed, and then I snuggled into him. The movie started.
"Come on honey, eat it" Edward begged a six month old Allison. (A/N I don't know any dates of the first time babies does certain "first things, so bear with me)
Allison just stared at him. We had been trying to get her to eat solid baby food for a few days. Today, we were trying sweet potatoes.
"Do that airplane thing. Maybe that will work" Edward obeyed, but Allison merely followed the moving spoon and returned her gaze to Edward.
I spoke up then. "Eat it, Allison, its good. Look, Daddy will eat some" Edward's eyes widened and he stared at me.
"Come on, you love sweet potatoes" He glared at me, and then looked at Allison. Her eyes were curious.
"Look, Ally" Edward airplaned the spoon into his mouth. His face was hilarious. His beautiful face scrunched up and he looked like he was trying to find somewhere to spit it out. I couldn't stop the giggle that escaped my lips.
"Smile, Daddy. The baby is watching" I laughed. He gave me a death look and then looked at Allison, and smiled.
"I'll get you for that Bella" He growled. But the smile stayed on his face for Allison's sake.
"Don't you remember from my baby shower how bad that stuff is? Oh well, try it again"
Edward did the airplane thing again. Allison opened her mouth. Edward popped the spoon in. Allison looked at Edward as she ate. When we saw her swallow, we clapped for her. She laughed her little tinkling laugh.
She opened her mouth for another spoonful.
Edward and I smiled at that memory. He still hadn't forgiven me for making him eat baby food.
"What next?" He asked
"How about when Allison walked for the first time"
"I was thinking the same thing."
I leaned down and opened my arms wide for my Allison to walk into them. She was about nine months old now.
"Come here sweetie. Come to mommy" Allison tried to get up, but toppled over. She pouted then tried again. She was such a determined little thing.
She was on her feet and started walking to me. I was only about a yard away, so she didn't have to travel far. Edward cheered her on while holding the camera.
She wobbled slightly then paused and started walking again. She got closer and closer, and then fell into my open arms. I hugged her and kissed the top of her forehead.
"Good job, Ally" Edward said. Then the screen went black.
"And now, we can't stop her from moving" Edward said with a big smile on his face.
I laughed. Allison would never stop moving, even when she was a baby. She would always be wiggling. Now, Allison would always be wiggling and dancing around the house. My little tornado. I had quit my job so I could take care of her. My thoughts were interrupted by a small movement on my abdomen.
"Ooo, this one kicks harder than Allison," I told Edward.
Edward laughed and placed his hand on my five month pregnant stomach.
Okay, sorry for the short chapter. If you can think of anything that you want to see from Allison's first two years I will find a way to incorporate that in the story. And yes, Bella is pregnant again. I also want to know if you think she should have a boy or another girl. Next chapter, Allison's birthday party.
