Song for this chapter is "Angel" by Jack Johnson.

"I've got an angel, she doesn't wear any wings…she wears a heart that can melt my own."

"She's so small…and perfect," I whispered, gently running my fingers down the curve of Audrey's cheek.
"I know," Edward said, beaming proudly. He cradled his baby girl carefully, awe and love radiating off of him. "Look at her. How could she be any more beautiful?" Edward kissed her forehead gently, and then glanced up at me. "Do you want to hold her?"
I hesitated for a moment, realizing how different things are now. Edward is a parent now, and Audrey is his number one priority. She depends on him, her father, more than anyone else. "Yeah, I do," I finally said, grinning happily. And as Edward placed her in my waiting arms, I knew. Audrey may have been Edward and Alice's baby biologically, but she already had a place in my heart. I will always love this little girl like a daughter, no matter what happens. And I'm going to be there for her, along with Edward and Alice, to help her and guide her through the beginning of her life.
"You don't know how amazing it is to see you holding her," Edward murmured, kissing my lips softly. "You're a natural."
I laughed slightly, but I couldn't take my eyes off of Audrey. I may be a little biased, but she is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen. You can already tell that she is Edward's daughter just by looking at her, although she has Alice's dark hair.
Her eyes are baby blue right now, but maybe later they'll turn to green. Alice has blue eyes, but I think it would be amazing to see Edward's green eyes on a little baby. And if Adurey's eyes aren't green…who knows? Maybe years down the road, I'll have my own little baby with his or her daddy's green eyes.
That's a scary thought, to think that one day I'll have a child of my own.
But right now, in this moment, Audrey is all that's on my mind. And I know it's the same for Edward, and for Alice too.
So many things could happen in the future, but right now nothing else matters. Audrey Mila Cullen is finally here, and she is so loved. That's what is important.
