A/N: Since I am so far ahead in chapters (almost eight ahead at the moment) I'm granting you an extra chapter this week. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Next one will be online next Monday.

Esme's POV

A couple of days later Sulpicia and I were on our way to the mall with Bella and Rosalie, since Bella had wanted to do right by us and let us embrace our grandmotherly duties already and of course we jumped at the opportunity to go shopping with our daughters.

Sulpicia was especially excited because it would be the first time she would have the chance to spend some true one on one time with Bella.

For that reason I was sitting next to Rosalie as she drove to Seattle, and looking in the rearview mirror I had to smile. Bella was cuddled into Sulpicia and it was apparent she was looking for some comfort. "Are you okay sweetie?" I asked softly.

She smiled and nodded. "I'm more than okay Mom. I'm so happy right now. I finally have a family that loves me and I'm finally going to go shopping with my mothers and my mate. Life can't be better right now."

I cooed softly as Sulpicia pulled her into her body. "We're very excited too Isabella. We've been hoping for this chance for a while." Sulpicia said with a smile.

Bella smiled at her. "Alice was merely quicker to kidnap me to the mall, I've wanted to go baby shopping with you two for a while now."

Rosalie laughed lightly at that. "The Pixie cheated with her visions baby. Her excitement when it comes to shopping can't really be contained, not even by Jasper or Esme."

Bella smiled at her. "I know, and I didn't really mind the shopping day we had with Alice, but I do think that shopping for baby clothes is a grandmother's right. Plus it's been long overdue that we get to spend some mother-daughter time together, and neither me nor your granddaughter will be denied that."

I smiled at her. "We wouldn't want to upset our granddaughter, nor our youngest daughter. I've heard it is not done to upset a pregnant woman."

Bella smiled and leaned forward to press a kiss to my cheek. "Thankfully this pregnant woman has the best family in the world that doesn't give me a reason to be upset."

I smiled and patted her hand lovingly as Rosalie parked the car. "We know it is a very stressful time for you sweetie. The last thing we want to do is add to that."

Bella smiled at me as we got out of the car, proceeding to hug me. "You and Sulpicia could never add to my stress even if you tried. You both radiate such calm energy that I can't help but bask in it."

I shared a look with Sulpicia. "We need to contact Eleazar as soon as possible. I think Bella may have a gift."

She nodded at me. We'll call him when we are back home."

I nodded and pressed a kiss to her cheek. "Mom, I'm still here." Bella said a bit muffled, and I quickly saw why, she was hiding her face in my dress.

I smiled at her and pressed a kiss to the top of her head. "One thing you will quickly learn about mated vampires is that we are always very affectionate with each other, and your mother and I are no different."

Bella smiled at me. "Perhaps, but it makes it no less awkward when I am sandwiched between the two of you when you do."

"Sorry for that sweetheart. Sometimes we get a bit caught up in that, but there is something we want to ask you before we get our day of shopping underway. Among Tanya and Athenodora lives one of our Guard who has the ability to read gifts in both vampires and humans, and we believe that you may possess a gift. Would you be open to meeting with him to see if we are right?" Sulpicia asked with a soft smile.

Bella nodded at her. "As long as you two and Rose are there, I will. I'm still a bit uncomfortable around men at the moment."

We smiled at that. "Of course sweetie. We will be by your side for as long as you want us to. No matter what happens, we'll always be your mothers." I said with a loving smile to our youngest.

Bella smiled and hugged us both, while Rosalie looked on with the same loving smile. "It'll be okay love. Eleazar is one of the most kindhearted men I have ever met. Just think Jasper but without the awkward charm." Rosalie said lovingly.

Bella smiled and molded herself against Rosalie's side. "I happen to like that Southern charm of Jasper, but I would still like you all to be there, if only for my peace of mind."

Rosalie nodded and pressed a kiss to her cheek. "You know there are very few places I would rather be than by your side, my Bella."

The brunette just smiled and kissed her mate softly. "I know, and you know the same is true for me Rosie."

Rosalie smiled and wrapped an arm around Bella's waist as we made our way into the mall, and I couldn't help but smile as Sulpicia claimed my hand as we followed our daughters. "They're so sweet together. It reminds me of the time when we were newly mated."

"I remember it like it was yesterday, my love. You were the most gorgeous woman I had ever seen, and you still are. It's adorable to see them as much in love as we are." I said with a soft smile.

Sulpicia nodded gave my hand a loving squeeze. "Just imagine how it will be in a couple of months when we will have our granddaughter in our lives. I'm honestly looking forward to meeting her."

"So am I, my love. I've longed to be a mother again, and Bella has given me that chance, and to have the opportunity to actually be a grandmother is something I never thought would be in my future. I owe so much to our daughter." I said softly.

She smiled and pressed a kiss to my cheek. "We both do, because it is because of her circumstances that we are once again together forever. I don't think it would've gone so fast if Carlisle hadn't been such an idiot already."

I nodded at her as we noticed both Bella and Rosalie watching us. "I have to say that this is the first time I've really seen you two act as a married couple that's been together for years. You two almost seem of one mind." Bella said with a sweet smile.

We smiled at that. "It's something you've got to look forward to with Rosalie, sweetie. Spending so much time with your mate will make sure you two will also be able to read each other's minds."

They smiled at us as we walked into the first baby store we found, and I couldn't help but smile back at her when I saw how excited she was.

Bella's POV

Shopping with Esme and Sulpicia was a lot of fun, and I honestly felt that I was shopping with my mothers with the way they were fussing over me, which warmed my heart almost as much as when Rosalie did the same.

Right now they were arguing about an outfit for a three-month old in red and black, which to me seemed a bit odd of a color combination for any baby. It also made me smile because this was the first time I had seen them disagree on anything.

Rosalie squeezed my hand and smiled at me. "They'll be at it for a while, and there is something I want to show you." She said as she led me to another corner of the store.

I smiled at her as she showed me a beautiful white dress. "I was hoping we could get this one to take her home when she's born."

"It's beautiful Rose. I think it'll look adorable." I said with a soft smile.

She smiled and pressed a kiss to my cheek. "I would agree with that, and honestly I'm so excited to meet her. I can't help but wonder already what kind of person she is going to be, and what type of parents we will be at the same time."

"If I can help it, something completely unlike my own. I want to make sure that our daughter knows how much we love her and that she can always come to us with anything, and that she has a family that loves her beyond belief." I said softly.

Rosalie smiled at that. "May I also add my parents to the list of people we do not want to become? We want to prepare her for success, not set her up to fail, because I don't think either of us will cope well with that."

I nodded and smiled at her. "Of course, as long as we agree to not push her into a direction and let her find her own path in life and that we will support her in whatever she chooses."

Rosalie nodded and kissed me. "Gods I love you so much. It's so good to hear that your views on parenting are so similar to mine."

I smiled and rested my head against her shoulder. "Why wouldn't they be? I'm sure that we have more in common than just our shared trauma, despite being raised in different times."

Rosalie smiled at me. "I know we do, it's just our way of expressing ourselves that makes us different, but I am sure the more time we spent together, the more you will find yourself not reacting about what other people say about us."

I smiled at that. "You're teaching me plenty about that already love, although I doubt I could ever be as bitchy to others as you are."

"Only those who deserve it, and honestly I think it's a good thing. Our differences in personalities is what makes us so compatible." She said with a soft smile.

"Among other things. I've noticed we're very compatible in bed too." I said with a wink.

Rosalie smiled and kissed me. "Careful now love, don't start something we can't finish just yet."

I smiled at her. "I really wasn't, because that would mean at least Esme and Sulpicia would be witness to that, and I don't think either of us would want that."

She just shook her head as she carefully draped the dress over her arm as Esme and Sulpicia came walking up to us, the outfit they had been arguing about draped over Esme's arm, albeit now it white and green. "That's a beautiful dress Rose. It's a bit small though." Esme said with a soft smile.

We both smiled at that. "This is the dress we were going to use to bring our daughter home from the hospital. I think it is really cute." I said with a smile.

The two smiled at that. "It is certainly an adorable dress, and I think it's admirable that you two want to hold onto an ancient tradition. Bringing newborns home in white has long been a symbol of purity."

"That's one of the reasons, but mostly because by the time I give birth it will be late May or early June, and it'll be too hot for anything Alice is intending on buying. I saw snow boots on one of her list at some point." I said softly.

They smiled at that. "Your sister merely wants to be prepared for anything and combine it with numerous shopping trips, while we tend to be a bit more practical. Which is why we settled on this little number."

"I heard, it's the only thing I have heard you two disagree on so far. It is very cute though." I said with a smile.

Esme smiled at me. "Sulpicia and I usually agree on everything, except for color. I prefer lighter, more homey colors while she usually prefers darker and richer tones."

Sulpicia smiled at that. "Yes, colors and decorations are the only points of contention we have, but usually we manage to compromise."

Rosalie and I smiled at that. "That sounds strikingly similar to us, doesn't it Rose? So far we've only disagreed on small things."

Rosalie smiled and nodded. "Indeed we do, but that's because we are so very similar in a lot of ways. So far we've had little reason to disagree on anything. Plus, I know exactly how I can make you agree, which is probably the same way you make me agree to some things."

I smiled and kissed her as my stomach growled loudly. "Hungry sweetie?" Esme asked softly.

I blushed and nodded as they all smiled at me. "Then let's pay for these outfits and find somewhere to eat. I'm sure there is something classy to find in this immense building." Sulpicia said with a smile.

I nodded and smiled as we made our way to the front to pay, and it was only now that I saw that they had a lot more outfits picked out, as well as a few stuffed animals, including an adorable teddy bear.

Rosalie's POV

After lunch we made our way back into the mall, this time to get Bella some more things that she had told me she wanted, and while she muttered a bit, we wanted her to have the best things available to her, now and in the future.

The first stop was a computer shop, since her laptop could easily be from 1988 and that would not do, so while she and Sulpicia were shopping for that and a new TV for our room, Esme and I went on the search for her surprise. A brand new PC that we would build together, since she had expressed interest in wanting to learn how to do that.

I had of course already done a bit of research on parts and had a list in my phone on what we needed which all in all was quite a lot, since I wanted to make sure that she would have plenty of storage space available if she was serious about being a writer.

"Perhaps we should get her a printer as well. Just to make sure she has absolutely everything available." Esme said with a soft smile.

I nodded and smiled. "I was thinking the same thing. I'm sure we can find a wireless printer for her. That'll work a lot better with her new laptop."

Esme nodded and smiled at me. "I have to say that I am really impressed with how much fervor you have taken to Bella's happiness, Rose."

"How can't I after everything she has been through, not only at the hands of Edward but from her family as well. I want to show her the beauty of life in all its splendor now that I have finally have someone to share that with, and when she's happy, I'm happy too, which means we can both heal from our experiences." I said with a soft smile.

Esme smiled at that. "It's good that you've finally opened your heart. I have been worried for you for a very long time. I knew that it would take a unique person to help you heal, and I'm so happy that you have once again embraced life."

I couldn't help but smile at that. "To be honest it could've only been Bella that could have opened my heart to the world again. She's unique in everything she does. I am so happy that it is me, and not Edward who gets to see the real Bella."

Esme smiled and nodded. "So are we, and I think that Bella will remain that light for a very long time."

I smiled and looked over to my mate, who was looking at a laptop with a very critical look on her face. "I know she will, and I think even more so when our little girl is born."

"I think she will be the light of everyone's lives when she is born, given how much everyone is preparing for everything already. But I think we go need to save your mate from my wife before Bella ends up with three laptops." Esme said with a soft smile.

I nodded and smiled as I loaded my items into the cart before we made our way to Bella and Sulpicia. "Can't decide love?" I asked with a soft smile.

Bella turned to me and I couldn't help but smile when her eyes widened. "Is all of that for me?"

"It's not as much as it looks like baby. I thought you might like a project. We could build your computer together if you want." I said with a soft smile.

She smiled brightly at that. "I would love to Rosie. But will I really need a laptop then?"

"Of course, inspiration can hit you at any time and having a laptop available will be a big help. So which ones take your fancy?" I asked sweetly.

"Well, I am a bit in limbo between these two. One has a better processor, but the other one has more disk space. There is another one that has both, but that's way more than I ever want to spend on a laptop." She said softly.

Sulpicia smiled at her. "Since we're paying, pick anything you want sweetling. Even with everything we've bought today, it will barely be a dent in the fortune we have gathered."

Bella blushed a little at that. "I've also taken the liberty to get you a new phone, I know your old one broke on that night."

"Thank you all, I really feel like I don't deserve this." She said as she softly started sobbing.

I pulled her into my arms and kissed the top of her head. "Of course you deserve it baby. I see it as an investment in your happiness, because you deserve to be happy and have the best things we can give you."

She smiled and nuzzled her nose in my neck. "Thank you baby, and I'm sorry for crying, my hormones are really messing with me."

"I figured as much love, and it's okay. Do you want to go home and relax?" I asked softly.

She nodded and wrapped an arm around my waist while I put the laptop she wanted into the cart, and after getting her a new phone as well, we made our way to the cash register, where even I was shocked at how much it was, but I also knew it would be well worth it, and now the only thing that remained was to get her a new car, which I was going to give her on her birthday in a couple of months.

Bella's POV

By the time we were home it was almost dinnertime and once again Esme was very indulgent with me when I requested cheeseburgers, which were absolutely amazing.

Rosalie was also very indulgent with me as I relaxed against her on the couch, while my feet were soaking in a tub of warm water, which honestly was the best thing I had ever felt in my life, besides other less chaste activities with my blonde Goddess.

The fact that said blonde Goddess was also massaging my shoulders was also a definite plus. "Gods how I love your hands on my body. They feel almost as good as this foot bath does."

"I could stop if you want, since you seem to like the foot bath better." She said teasingly.

"Gods no, it's the combination that is quickly turning me to jelly. I could get used to this kind of treatment after a long day of walking." I said with a soft smile.

Rosalie smiled and pressed a kiss to my neck. "I think that can be arranged baby. Every time we go shopping with Hurricane Pixie, I'll give you a massage after."

"Hey! I am not a hurricane. I am merely excited about shopping." Alice said with a look of innocence as she walked into the room.

We both smiled at her. "I think excited is to small a word for what you call shopping, Tink, and I think it will be harder to do those trips in the coming months. I really can't walk the distances anymore."

Alice pouted a little as she sat down next to us. "I know, but I've been looking forward to shopping with you so much. I'm sorry if I came over too excited or smothering with it."

Bella smiled and wrapped the Pixie in a hug. "It's okay Alice. How about I make you a deal. I know you loathe online shopping, but how about we just take a day to do that, just the two of us."

She smiled and nodded. "Deal, but I don't want to hear any mutterings about prices."

I nodded and smiled at her. "Agreed, and I promise I won't nag about styles either."

Alice smiled and pressed a kiss to my cheek before standing up and skipping away, which I had to admit looked absolutely adorable as I was pulled against Rosalie, whose chest I could feel rumble behind me.

I leaned against her and pressed a kiss to our joined hands. "It's okay baby, Alice didn't mean anything by that kiss. It was just a friendly peck on the cheek, nothing more."

"I know, but she knows better than to do that out of the blue." Rosalie said with a soft growl.

I smiled and kissed her softly, but passionately. "You know you are the only one for me, my love." I said as I placed her hands on my belly.

Rosalie smiled and nuzzled my neck. "As you are the only one for me, baby. Thank you for everything you've given me."

I smiled and relaxed against her. "It was certainly my pleasure Rosie, but I do have to ask, how did you come up with the idea to build a computer with me?"

She smiled at that. "I heard you talking to Emmett about wanting to learn, and to be honest I've wanted to learn the same skill, so I figured it would be something fun for us to do together. There are so many things that I want to experience together with you that I can't help but be excited for it."

"So am I. There are so many things I saw in my future, but never thought I would be able to do, until I met you. Now I know that I could do anything I want to with my life, and while that will also be the life of a stay at home mother. There are plenty of things I can do from home." I said softly.

She smiled at me. "And I will be beside you all the way baby, no matter what you want to do in your life. One thing we have is time after all."

I smiled and nodded. "I know, even if I will be physically older than you by the time I am turned."

"To be very honest you'll be physically older than most people in the house baby. I think only Heidi, Esme and Sulpicia will be physically older than you by that time, but still you'll only be twenty two when you are turned, so you'll be turned in the prime of your life." She said with a loving smile.

I grumbled a bit at that but knew she meant nothing by it. "Do you mind if we make this an early night love. I think all the excitement of today are catching up to me."

Rosalie smiled and kissed me as she lifted me off the couch effortlessly. "Of course I don't mind. You know there are few things I enjoy more than being in bed with you, no matter what we do."

I smiled as she carried me upstairs. "While I am too tired for something more sexy tonight, I have no issue with making out with my gorgeous girlfriend until I am tired enough to go to sleep."

Rosalie smiled as she placed me onto the bed and flashed into the bathroom, coming back within seconds with a warm, fluffy towel before toweling my feet dry.

I giggled a little at the overly cute sight, which got me a quirked eyebrow from the blonde. "What's so funny?"

"Not funny love, I just think it's cute how you are so doting over me, and I'm still slightly ticklish too." I said with a soft smile.

Rosalie grinned at that and gently ran the tip of her finger over the soles of my feet, making me squirm. "You know that this is going to be used against you right?" She said softly.

"Not if you want a cranky pregnant woman to deal with." I said teasingly.

She smiled and was beside me in bed within a second, lifting me on top of her. "We wouldn't want that, now would we? I've got to keep my baby mamma happy."

I just smiled and kissed her softly, the two of us quickly losing ourselves in each other, sharing soft kisses until I really couldn't keep my eyes open anymore.
