The Twilight universe and everything in it belongs to Stephenie Meyer.
A short one-shot about Edward's lullaby for Bella and how Jasper and Alice realize they never needed one.
-Lullaby-
I had spent most of the day away from Alice. It wasn't a normal occurrence for us, but it did happen. She was so wrapped up in Bella now. Out of nowhere the daughter of the police chief changed the future that Alice could see.
While I had been reading most of the day in my study, Alice had been downstairs with Edward. I had been so consumed in my own little world that I had barely paid attention to what they were doing.
I had just finished reading the end of a chapter on the Roman Empire's collapse when I felt her. All that love and happiness swelling around me.
I smiled before I looked up and found her leaning against the doorframe watching me.
She rolled her eyes at me and chuckled. "Did you have fun with your books today?"
I shook my head at her as she crossed the room and replaced the book in my lap with her body. The book landed on the other side of the room.
"You know," I wrapped my arm around her as she snuggled into my embrace. "I hate it when you throw my books across the room."
"I know… but it was in my way." I couldn't help but laugh as she narrowed her eyes at the offending book.
"So what have you been doing with Edward all day?"
Her eyes lit up at my question and a smile broke out on her face.
"I was listening to him compose a lullaby." She sighed deeply. "It's beautiful… and perfect for Bella."
I felt my eyebrows rise. "A lullaby?"
"Mhh hmm." She stared off for a second with a dreamy look in her eyes.
I couldn't help but laugh at her. Which snapped her out of her gazing.
"Looks like you were wishing you were Bella for a second."
She snorted. "Jasper really… that's gross. Edward's my brother."
"Well that's good to know." I pinched her side and laughed as she yelped with surprise. "But I was talking about you wishing that someone had written you a lullaby."
She smiled at that.
"It's a nice gesture… a perfect Edward gesture." She leaned in and brushed her lips across mine. "But I don't need a lullaby… just you."
I held her closer. "You've had me since the first moment I walked into that diner."
Just something short and sweet. Music has always been my passion, so I've always had a soft spot that Edward wrote Bella her own lullaby. Although Alice may never have needed a lullaby from Jasper... I sure wouldn't mind one from my future prince charming... wherever he might be lol.
Hope you enjoyed it!
Thanks for reading!
