Sorry it took so long to update. I've just been so busy with homework. Also my computer's hard drive was full, so I spent a while trying to free space before I could write anything else. So thanks for being patient and sticking with me! I tried to make this chapter a little longer for such the long wait.
Enjoy!
"Edward you know I hate surprises" I whined throwing my hands up
"I know you do but it must be something good if she's blocking her thoughts from me"
"Great all the more reason to be scared" I huffed and crossed my arms over my chest as I got up.
I mean seriously you would think by now that there would be no more surprises. I walked down the stairs and gasped at what I saw. I almost tripped on the last step but thankfully Emmett was standing right there and grabbed my elbow to steady me.
"Easy there bells" He laughed
I was still staring wide-eyed. There stood my mom and dad, right here in the Cullen's living room.
"Well don't just stand there come here" my mom said coming over and pulling me into a hug.
"Hi mom" I said hugging her back. My voice cracked a little at the end. It was good to see them again.
"Oh baby I missed you"
"You have no idea" I muttered so low I don't think she could hear me.
"We have so much to talk about now where's my…"
She gasped and I was about to ask her what was wrong but she was looking behind me. Her eyes froze and I turned around only to see Edward walking down the stairs cradling Abby in his arms. Edward walked over to them and I could tell that Abby fell back asleep. I walked over to my dad and pulled him into a hug. He kissed my forehead and wrapped his arms around me.
"I can't believe my baby had a baby" he said
"Oh Dad I'll always be you're little girl" I laughed
"I suppose"
Edward was still cradling Abby and I walked over to him and pulled up her little hat so you could see her face better. She was only 2 days old and Alice has already played Barbie with her. Edward placed her in my arms and placed his hand on my lower back. She stirred slightly but didn't wake. I turned to my parents and smiled at them.
"Mom, dad, meet your granddaughter" I smiled
I placed her in my mom's arms. My dad came over and looked down at Abby. I've never seen them so happy.
"Abigail Marie Masen Cullen" I never got tired of saying her name
"Oh Bella she's the most beautiful baby" my mom cooed
"Quite a name you gave her" my dad smiled
My dad reached out to her and she wrapped her little hand around his finger. I smiled and I felt Edward wrap his arms around my waist. I leant against him and grabbed his hands in mine.
My mom went over to sit on the couch and my dad followed. Esme came into the living room and placed a plate with crackers and cheese on the coffee table.
"Bella you should probably eat something dear" she said
I nodded and slowly made my way over to the couch. Edward had to hold onto my arm so I didn't topple over. Of course it didn't go unnoticed by my parents.
"Bella are you okay?" my mom asked me
"Yeah I'm just a little sore still and tired" I promised as Edward lowered me onto the couch and sat down next to me. I lent my head against his chest and closed my eyes.
"Bella are you breast feeding?" 'Wow that was random' I thought
"Yeah mom why?"
"Just wondering if my gift came into good use" she smiled at me.
"Yeah it actually did"
"So how have you been getting up at night?" my dad asked
"Actually Edward's been really good about getting up. I only feed her and go back to sleep. Edward does the rest"
I smiled up at him and he kissed my forehead. I know Edward didn't sleep so it wasn't an issue for him to get up. But I'm sure that if he did sleep he wouldn't mind getting up. My parents nodded not taking their eyes of their granddaughter. Alice walked into the living room and had a camera and the scrapbook in her hands.
"Guys smile" she said to my parents and they looked up and smiled.
My mom passed Abby to my dad and he rocked her back in forth.
"She's so small" he said
"Yes, she was born early, but Carlisle assured us that she's perfectly healthy" Edward told them
"Hey guys I put some pictures in the scrapbook" Alice said handing it to me
My mom moved over to sit next to me and I flipped open to the first page. The first picture was a collage of us. There were tons of pictures from high school. The next one was one of my favorites it was a picture of Edward and I on our wedding day. We looked so happy and I smiled at the memory. The next picture was of us sitting on Edward's bed.
"That's the day we found out you were pregnant" Alice said as Edward smiled against my hair.
The rest of the pictures were of me and the rest of the family and in each one my stomach was getting bigger and bigger. I turned the next page and I felt my eyes water at the picture on the page. It was of Edward and I with Abby cradled in my arms. She was so small and looked perfect, she was a little red and covered in some dry blood, but she was perfect. I was smiling and I looked horrible. I was all sweaty and my clothes were covered in blood as were Edward's.
"Uggh I look terrible" I muttered throwing my hand over the picture
"Bella love, you look beautiful" Edward whispered in my ear
Abby started to cry and I panicked, I made a move to get up and get her but Charlie passed her to Esme.
"I got her Bella; I think she just needs a diaper change"
I nodded and watched her as she went up the staircase. I felt like I should go up and help her. I mean I was her mother after all and I should be up there.
"I'm going to go up and help her"
I went to get off the couch and but Edward wrapped his arms gently around my waist and pulled me back down on his lap.
"She's fine, sit down and relax" he warned me
"So Bella how did you manage with the labor?" my mom asked me
"It was long and it hurt… a lot. But Edward was there for me the whole time as were the rest of the Cullens"
"Good, though I wish I could've been there with you"
"It's okay Renée, I don't think Bella wanted anyone in the room, including me" Edward laughed
"I'm just happy that you got through it"
"Me too and I'd go through it again because it was all worth it" I smiled as Esme walked back down the stairs and placed Abby in my arms.
"See I told you she was fine" Edward whispered
"Oh Bella I brought my camera to take some pictures" my mom said
She ran across the room and into her purse to pull out her camera. She snapped about 20 pictures until she put it away again.
"Oh Phil was so upset that he didn't get to come but he said to say hi"
The rest of the day seemed to go by pretty fast. We just talked about me being a mom and Abby. At some point in the night we ate some lasagna that Esme had made and ended up in the living room. Around 7'oclock my head stated to hurt. I thought I was just tired so I just let go and tried to ignore it. Emmett was now holding Abby and making faces at her. She didn't laugh though. She was only 2 days old so she didn't do much of anything except eat, sleep, poop, and cry.
"Bella your kid's boring" Emmett whined
"Emmett she's 2 days old, what do you want her do?" Edward laughed at his brother
He just shrugged and went back to making faces at her. The pain in my head was getting worse and was now pounding. I felt kind of dizzy and sick and I'll I wanted was to lie down and go to bed. I held onto Edward's arm as I got up.
"Bella are you alright?"
"Yeah I'm just going to get ready for bed. Goodnight everyone"
"Good night sweetheart get some rest" my dad whispered to me
"I'll see you guys tomorrow" I yawned
As I started walking my vision became blurry and I almost lost my balance as I started to sway on my feet.
"Bella!" Edward yelled panicked
I waited for the floor to meet my face but it never did. Instead I felt a cold arm wrap around my waist and help slowly lower me to the floor. I looked up and saw Jasper with a worried expression on his face.
"Oh dear" my mom gasped rushing over to me
Edward ran over to me and held me upward so I wouldn't crash onto the floor. I leant my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes.
"Bella sweetheart what happened?" he asked
"I don't know" I said honestly "I'm just got dizzy all of a sudden"
My parents leant down next to Edward and my mom placed her hand on my forehead.
"She doesn't feel warm"
Edward placed his hand on my cheek before kissing it.
"No she doesn't" he agreed with her"
I heard Edward call for Carlisle and he was leaning down next to me in a second. He placed his hand on my forehead and sighed.
"She probably just needs some rest, you should put her to bed" he said
Edward swept me up into his arms and walked up the stairs.
"Emmett can you bring Abby up?" Edward called down
Edward walked laid me down on the bed and took off my clothes to change me into my pajamas. He pulled the covers over me and kissed my forehead.
"Get some rest I'm going to go get Abby settled and then I'll come lay with you okay?"
I nodded and watched as Emmett entered the room and passed Abby to Edward. I saw him walk into the nursery and pull out a bottle that I had recently pumped earlier. Thank god for the breast pump because I did not feel like breastfeeding right now. He started humming my lullaby to her as he rocked her back in forth. He was such a great dad. I smiled and I watched as Emmett walked over to me. He leaned down to pull me into and awkward hug and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"Feel better sis" he smiled
"Thanks" I yawned
I heard on knock on the door and Edward whisper for them to come in. My parents' entered and I sighed.
"You're probably just over tired" my dad said "Get some rest and call us in the morning kiddo"
"Feel better baby" my mom kissed my cheek and she placed a glass of water on the night table before getting up and leaving the room. I heard Edward come in and shut the lights off. I saw him turn the baby monitor off and I immediately sat up.
"Why did you turn that off?" I asked
"So if she cries in the middle of the night you won't wake up"
"But…" he placed his fingers on my lips silencing me
"I'll hear her trust me, vampire remember?" he laughed
I just shook my head and closed my eyes as he climbed in next to me. I moved closer to him and lay across his chest. He ran his hands up and down my back and I shivered.
"Carlisle told me that you're probably just over exhausted. He told me that you just need to get more rest and take some vitamins Carlisle gave me. There supposed to help you get your strength back after giving birth"
"My mom said she had to take medicine after she had me, but she never went into detail. Maybe I take after her?"
"You do, believe me" he laughed
"I love you" I whispered
"I love you to" he whispered back
"So what are the plans for tomorrow?" I asked
I looked up at his face and saw I smirk. I knew exactly what I was doing. Nothing! He wasn't going to let me out of this bed at all tomorrow.
"Oh well" I shrugged "We can have a day to ourselves with Abby"
He nodded
"I can't wait I said as I fell into a well needed slumber.
Hope it was long enough for you! Don't forget to review, remember 8 or more reviews and I'll probably post another chapter soon!
I also posted a couple of pictures of what I envisioned Abby to look like. Tell if you she looks like she could be their kid.
