Just as Emmett had envisioned Edward was pacing back and forth across the room, Esme and Carlisle sat with their hands clasped together on the couch. Bella stood whispering with Alice and Jasper. Jasper exuded calming energy that confused Rosalie's emotions. She shook her head, alerting the family to their presence.

Edward stopped in his tracks, clearly tuning into her and Emmett's thoughts.

Emmett led Rosalie to the loveseat adjacent to the couch and they sat down, waiting for the bombardment of questions, comments, and concerns to begin.

Before anyone could say anything Carlisle stood up, bringing the room to a halt. All eyes fell on the patriarch of the family as he cleared his throat, "I think we should start by addressing the elephant in the room… Alice, can you explain what you saw in your vision this morning."

Alice bounded to the center of the family room,

Edward, please go stand with Bella.

Edward stopped his pacing and begrudgingly moved to stand next to his wife.

"I saw Rosalie," she looked over at Rosalie who was grasping Emmett's hand, "I saw her and Emmett in Carlisle's office looking at what I believe was a… sonogram."

Esme looked up, wonder in her eyes. A baby. But how? Carlisle hadn't told her this... he had only said that there was urgent news regarding Rosalie's health.

"It was," Carlisle confirmed, nodding his head. Edward, please give me time to explain.

Edward stood with his arms crossed, grinding his teeth in the corner.

Alice's mouth fell into a circle as she looked at Emmett and Rosalie, eyes wide from the confirmation.

"And since then have you seen anything else?" Carlisle asked.

Alice turned to face Carlisle, "I've been trying but I can't see anything." Alice looked at Rosalie again, "There are a million different paths you could be going down right down it's going to take time for something concrete to form."

Rosalie sighed. She was hoping Alice would be able to tell her something about the future of her and her child.

"So it's true?" Alice looked back at Carlisle.

Carlisle stood up once again to address the family, "Yes, it would appear that Rosalie is expecting a child."

"That's impossible," Edward stated, grinding his teeth.

"Not entirely," Carlisle replied.

"Carlisle," Edward attempted to step forward. Bella put out her arm quickly to stop her husband, this wasn't the time for arguing.

Carlisle struck his eldest son with a glare, he wasn't in the mood for a fight, especially when something so life-changing was happening. Edward… let me explain.

Edward stood back, grinding his teeth he nodded for Carlisle to continue.

Carlisle sighed, "I haven't told you all the whole truth as to why I purchased Isle Esme."

Esme looked up at her husband, grasping his arm she urged him to sit back down with her. Carlisle obliged continuing,

"Early on in Esme and I's relationship I saw just how desperate she was for a child and I believed there was a way to make that a reality. I considered every possible option but they all led to… heartbreak, destruction." Carlisle shuddered at the thought of the immortal children. "Eventually in my research, I came across folklore of the Ilha de fabricação de bebês or baby-making island. Legend had it that the island was home to a spirit that gifted even the most barren of women with a child. Everything from a widow giving birth years after her husband's passing to two women, a pair of close friends as the legend says, having a child together."

Carlisle laughed at that one, the legends weren't from this time.

"Initially I believed it to just be an old wives tale… until I came across one compelling story."

Carlisle looked up at his wife, she smiled and grasped his hand harder.

"It was about a cold one and her mate. They yearned for a child they knew they could never have. Upon visiting the island the spirit decided that they were pure of heart, that they deserved new life. The couple left the island and the cold one began experiencing symptoms of pregnancy, in order not to be caught they went into hiding. It is said years later the couple was spotted with a young vampire, around seventeen. The tale claims that the boy looked so similar in resemblance that villagers were convinced he had to be their son."

Carlisle sighed, looking down he kissed Esme's hair.

"After reading that story I was compelled to purchase the isle, it took some time for the government to allow it but I was willing to do anything to give Esme a child."

Esme smiled, sadness in her eyes.

"It seems the spirit saw all of you coming," Carlisle laughed. "I'm sure she knew Esme would have a home filled with love."

Esme nuzzled into her husband, knowing he would do anything for her.

"After years of trying I wrote the legends down as folklore, until this morning when Alice called me and told me about her vision. I knew instantly what had happened."

The room was silent.

Alice stood in the corner embracing Jasper.

Edward has his arm around Bella, "Carlisle…" Edward broke the silence, trying to find the correct words, "Why didn't you bring this legend up when Bella..?"

"I don't think Bella's pregnancy had anything to do with the spirit," Carlisle replied.

Japer broke the silence next, "What about the child? Would it be able to control itself like Renesmee?"

Edward saw what he was picturing, a baby filled with bloodlust, the Volturi. He had to shake his head to get the image out of his mind.

Rosalie turned to look at Jasper, protectively putting her hand on her abdomen. Emmett pulled her closer to him.

Jasper spread calm across the room.

"I don't believe this child will be a threat," he replied. "From my findings on the Isle, I believe that Rosalie's pregnancy should be fairly normal, albeit a bit shorter than that of a human."

Rosalie looked up, this surprised her.

"I believe it may be similar to Bella's pregnancy," Carlisle looked at Emmett who was protectively grasping Rosalie, "but given Rosalie's strength much safer."

Emmett sighed in relief.

"We're going to have to learn as we go. This is the first time in this millennia I believe this has happened."

Alice was the next to speak, "What about the Volturi?"

And the drama begins... Let me know in the reviews what you think the Cullens should do. XOXO
