Chapter Fourteen

Baby Mine

Nessie

I awoke the next morning with Nahuel lying still fast asleep next to me, one arm lay over me protectively as if even in sleep he was trying to protect us. I smiled watching his chest slowly rise and fall. Mommy? Our daughter asked me and I put a hand to my belly, she had grown in the night.

"Yes sweety." I reply.

I like your voice, your happy and your soul is good. I am hungry and thirsty I wanted to wake you so we could eat. I smiled at her, so defenseless and yet so caring of others. Daddy had a rough night, I can't tune anyone out even when I sleep. I don't want to wake him.

"Well then sweetheart lets get some food." I reply and rub my stomach gently. I take Nahuel's hand off of me and cover him with the blanket. He sighs and mutters in his sleep before subsiding.

Daddy is dreaming about you. My little girl told me and I felt my heart soar trying to escape my body.

"I dream about him too." I tell her.

I know, someone will love me like that someday won't they?

"Of course someone will." I couldn't help thinking of Embry broken inside because of Abigale, how happy he would be to see my daughter and see that everything turned out alright.

Embry Mama? Tell me about him.

"Well he's sort of like Uncle Emmett always joking and cheerful about something or other, or at least he used to be." I reply as I head into the house having to pause to rest.

Am I making you tired Mommy? She asked me and I smile at the consern in her thoughts.

"No sweety I am fine, just not used to your lovely weight inside of me." I reply.

Good I never want anything to happen to you. Your giving me life and I already love you for that. I can't wait to see you seeing you from other's eyes is different. They all see you differently is everyone like that?

"I think so honey now lets get some blood and ask Grandpa to make us something." I reply.

Sounds good. She replies and relaxes inside of me, I need blood and I go to the refrigerator ripping open a packet and downing it. Daddy comes in and stares at me.

"You need to sit down and rest." He tells me.

"Sorry Daddy, she was hungry." I replied as I sat on a chair gratefully.

"Well then lets feed you both, good morning Amelia."

Good morning Grandpa. I hear her reply and smile. I can't talk to only one person yet.

"It will come in time, I had trouble controlling my talent at first." He said as he started to make eggs, they smelled really good. I took a plateful and ate them, missing Alex.

Who is Alex?

"He's a quarter vampire, he is staying with the pack while I am pregnant, Nahuel thought that, that was best." I replied smiling down at my stomach she was so inqusitive.

What is inquisitive Mommy? I heard her ask and I smile

"Curious." I replied.

What is curious?

"You want to know things." I tell her and smile as she moves slightly.

I want to know everything, sorry about shifting Mommy I wanted to be more comfortable.

"That's alright sweety, you can move around in there, think of it as your own personal room until we can get one that's slightly bigger for you." I told her as Edward brought me a gigantic pile of scrambled eggs.

"I wasn't sure how hungry you were." He said as he started to wash up.

Thank you Grandpa Eddy. Edward turned around startled but smiled.

"That was my childhood name, my parents would call me that sometimes." His eyes held some memory or another and I smiled.

They were nice, my great grandparents I wish I could have known them.

"So do I, but you have your Great Grandpa Carlisle and your Great Grandma Esme." I told her as I ate.

I know, but they were his Mommy and Daddy." I smiled at the simplicity of the statement.

"Well your Grandma's parents are still alive."

I want to meet them.

"Honey they don't know about our world, its to protect them. Charlie knows a little but its still best not to use your talent around him and he thinks I should be only seven."

Your a lot older then seven, will I ever be as old as you?

"One day sweety, one day." I reply and yawn.

"Come lie down on the couch and rest, I'll play the piano for you." I nodded I loved to hear my Grandpa play he composed the most beautiful songs.

"Alright." I reply and lay down on the couch watching him as he played. It was my lullaby the one that he used to hum when I was a child to get me to sleep. I let the music pour through me simply listening to that flowing way he had of playing, it was amazing.

Happy, sleepy. My daughter said and I let the world spin away.

I awoke about two hours later and Edward was still playing it was a different song now and I loved the way the music filled the small room. Amelia was silent so I imagined that she was still asleep. I wondered if she knew how much we all already loved her. Daddy stopped playing and came over to sit beside me.

"She's asleep isn't she?" He asked and I nodded. She seemed to like to find out a lot when she was awake.

"She's adorable and I can't even see her yet. I can't wait until she is born."

"I felt the same way with you, I could hear your thoughts, and yet I could not see you. I was worried for your mother that was about the hardest time I have ever been through. Nahuel is the same, worried about both of you. I sent him hunting as we were running out of blood and he wanted to do something." I smiled at that, Nahuel was so sweet.

"I love him Daddy." I told him.

"I know." He replies and smiles at me. "We should get you some blood, I'll be back in a second." I nodded and he returned with a bag full of blood.

"Thanks Daddy." I tel him and bite into sucking upon it until it fills me. "Can we watch Monte Python?" I ask him and he smiles, we both love Monte Python and The Holy Grail. Our sense of humor is similar, not as easy to spot as others but there all the same.

"Sure, I haven't seen that in a few months." He tells me and puts the dvd in the machine. We smile as it starts and it wakes up Amelia.

What's that? She asks showing me a picture of the TV.

"We are watching a movie." I replied and smile. "Perhaps we should watch something a little better suited for children Daddy." Daddy smiles and takes out another DVD Balto I smile remembering how much I loved it when I was little. Amelia seems equally transfixed she doesn't ask questions throughout the movie. I smile and gently rub my stomach at the end.

I like movies, they are good. Embry is a wolf?

"He's a wolf but also a man, he can change form."

That is so cool, why cool your memories tell me that it is between warm and cold.

"I don't know sweety, its an expression." I replied and smiled down at my stomach as the door open reveling Nahuel carrying bags of blood. He puts them on the dining room table and practically runs to me. He hugs me and I smile at him.

"I missed you." He tells me and I nod.

"I missed you too, our daughter likes Balto." I told him and he laughs.

"Balto really? Well looks like we have another movie lover on our hands." He says. "I went to visit Alex while you were asleep, he was laughing and playing with Sammy, she can't get out of the crib yet but her leg is much better, he was tossing a ball up to her and she would throw it back down to him it was so cute. I wish you could have been there, it was really funny the way Collin stood watching them play like a hawk. He never took the ball away although it seemed as though he wanted to a few times." I laughed.

"Amelia told me that you had some trouble sleeping last night." I said and he shrugged.

"I was worried about you." He admitted and I smiled at him kissing him lightly on the cheek.

"I think that's sweet." I told him and he blushed.

So do I, love you Daddy.

"What would I do without my girls?" The way he said it with a touch of desperation made me wonder what he was keeping from me. What could be that bad that he would say that in that tone of voice.

"Lets watch another movie." I said and he nodded he got up and put in the second Balto before stretching out on the couch his head on my stomach. I lightly stroked his hair watching the movie, I was surprised when he started to snore lightly but smiled. I continued to watch the movie as Daddy came in and put a blanket over him.

"He looked cold." He said defensively before leaving and I smiled. Daddy was starting to like Nahuel and who couldn't? He was so kind and understanding, he brought out the best in me. He shifted in his sleep becoming more entangled in the blanket.

Daddy is sleeping. I could hear the myrth behind that statement and knew if she could she would giggle. I smiled continuing to watch the movie until my eyes closed and I too was asleep.
