A/N: Here's another chapter, mostly a drabble with no real plot, just characters that I like chilling together. I hope you enjoy it, please leave your thoughts.

Chapter 23: Little Moments

-()-

Seth and Emmett came into the living room, and immediately heard the shouting, "She's not Bella's personal juice box." Then they heard a door slam. Seth sighed, and Emmett grumbled something about marrying the most stubborn creature on earth. He motioned for Seth to lead the way. Rosalie had retreated to their room, "Rosie," Emmett said gently as if he was trying not to spook her. She turned to look at her boys, and took a deep breath.

"Bella can drink blood, and that makes the baby stronger, and Leah sheI'm, let Bella drink from her, Alice did not approve of the method."

"Knowing Leah, I can guess what she did," Seth said looking at the two vampires that make his heart race.

"Yeah, now we're fighting, and Bella's upset because she thinks Alice is mad at her, but at least she can keep down some food."

"Alright what do you need from us," again Emmett spoke with so much gentleness.

"Hopefully in the morning Alice will be calmer, and we can discuss everything, and Leah can make a decision. Then Carlisle can find a safe way to do this. I just want the baby to be okay." She said in that way that would make Emmett look at her with an expression that almost spelled of guilt, and made Seth feel that unfamiliar feeling of not belonging with them. Emmett walked over to his wife, and stood next to her letting her come to him, which she did. Leaning into him, and inhaling his comforting scent. He wrapped his arms around her.

"I'm sorry I could never give you kids," He whispered into her hair, and Seth felt like he should leave them to grieve their what-if. Find his sister, make sure she was alright. However he couldn't leave them. He watched as she heaved out a tearless sob, and buried herself further into his embrace. Rosalie, and Emmett had explained to him the basics of what he would be essentially be giving up by choosing to be with them, and for a moment he let himself grieve his own what-if. Even though he did not regret a second of his time with them, or a second of their future. Rosalie looked up, and locked eyes with Seth, then she held out a hand for him to take. He was able to take her hand in two strides. Emmett pulled him to them, and the shorter man burrowed into them. Much in the way he has now burrowed into their lives in the best of ways. Rosalie whispered that she loved them. Emmett picked them both up, and threw them on the bed, "Get ready for cuddles," he said with a grin. Then jumped on them, they laughed, and for a moment they could forget about their what-ifs.

Leah was asleep, and naked, and warm in between Alice and Jasper. Alice knew that Leah was going to continue to help Bella, and the thought made her apprehensive. Jasper looked over at his mate, and felt it. He curled around the sleeping woman, and reached over grabbing Alice's hand. The vampire appreciated the comfort. She smiled over at him, and then down at their sleeping girlfriend. She wanted her again, but Alice was determined to let her sleep a little while longer, "We should take her out, show her off," Alice whispered, reaching over to brush her hair out of her face, a tendril had fallen, and her nose was scrunched up because of it. Then Alice opened her ears to the rest of the house. Bella was crying for probably a lot of reasons, and Edward was beside himself because of it. Esme and Carlisle were discussing viable options in the office. Leah sighed in her sleep, and curled into Alice's legs. Then her heart beat changed ever so slightly, and she kissed Alice's thigh, "How long was I asleep?" Leah asked.

"Not long enough darlin," Jasper said nuzzling into her neck.

"I'm awake though, and we need to talk about how I'm probably still going to let Bella drink my blood, I'll just let Carlisle or Esme draw it. It keeps her alive, and she may grate on my last nerve with her inability to cut Jake loose, but letting her die when I could stop it would drive me nuts."

"We know that, but we can't watch or be in the room. Your blood, it calls to us now. We want to sink our teeth in, and taste you," Jasper growled, ending his statement with a sharp bite to her shoulder making her shiver.

"Maybe I can put it in a cup for you guys too."

"No, we eat animals and that's it," Alice said with finality in her tone, "Besides that would make it harder, so please don't tempt us love."

"So do we have time for a quickie," Leah said with an eyebrow wiggle, and a sly grin, just as there was a knock on the door. It was Edward.

Alice sighed, and rolled out of bed, and put on her robe. She opened the door just enough to peek her head out she'd be damned if Edward saw Leah.

"I've seen her, and that's besides the point, can you talk to Bella, she tends to listen to you, and she's convinced you hate her now,"

Alice took a moment to look at her brother, he looked half dead, well deader than usual. This was killing him. Alice sighed, "I don't hate her Edward, she's my sister, but I'm also in love with the woman that Bella needs to live, and this could put Leah's life in danger. If Leah dies trying to keep her alive, then yes resentment will definitely factor into my relationship with Bella."

"You think I don't know all this I can read the minds of you three, but she can't please explain it to her."

"Fine," Alice ground out. She turned around and smiled at her lovers a moment, then smashed passed Edward, and towards the woman that was her best friend.

She got to the living room, where the hospital bed had been set up, and there was a sniffle, dying Bella, with her round belly. The sight made Alice's heart break a little, "Hey Bella," Alice said sitting next to her. Jacob for once was nowhere to be seen. She did a quick future check on Bella, but as always since this mess started it just made her head hurt, she focused her 'sight' on Leah, and the throbbing stopped.

"Alice," she wiped her eyes quickly, and took a sip from a styrofoam cup, judging from the smell and the stain in the straw it was blood.

"Edward says you think I hate you," she took the chair and looked at her friend.

"Do you really think I used your girlfriend like a juice box?"

Alice heaved a sigh, "No sweetie, it was a knee jerk reaction because Leah was bleeding, and she shouldn't have been. She's going to let you continue to drink from her. Without the knives."

"Oh ok. I'm kind of glad because her blood tastes way better than whoever is in this cup. Oh I was able to keep down eggs."

"That's great sweetie," Alice said, and she meant it. The happiness shown through the haggardness of Bella, and she realized she missed her friend, "How was the honeymoon, you know before all this malarkey?"

"It was amazing, especially after I got Edward to let loose."

"My brother let loose, do tell," she leaned forward eagerly wanting to gossip with her friend, while she could at least. Well the first night we were there we … you know did it."

"Bella you're pregnant, please say sex."

"Fine," she rolled her eyes, and whispered, "We had sex."

"Weak, but I'll take it."

Bella smiled brightly, and then continued talking about her honeymoon. Alice just soaked up her friend's exuberance at getting to be with the person she loved, "And now here we sit," she finished patting her pregnant belly with a nervous little smile.

"Here we do sit," Alice's smile was strained, but she reached out tentatively, and covered her friends hands with one of hers on top of her stomach. Alice was shocked at how cold Bella was, usually she was so much warmer, she wanted one of the wolves to warm her friend. Then Bella asked, "How does the thing with Leah and Jasper work?"

Alice grinned a dirty grin, and said, "Deliciously. I wish I hadn't fought it as hard as I did at first, but I'm glad I did because now her and Jasper are closer together. It's funny, I was, well am happy with Jasper, and our lives were not lacking in any way, but she fits with us so well, I don't think I could imagine the rest of eternity without her, but I don't want to spend the rest of my life without you either Bella. Which is why I'm going to let you use my girlfriend like a juicebox."

"Thanks Alice I want forever with you guys too, and my son."

Alice just smiled thinly at her.

The next day Seth gently knocked on his sister's door of the room that she shared with Alice and Jasper. She knew that they were already downstairs with the rest of the vampires. Leah called from the other side of the door, "Cone in ya turd."

He came in and flopped onto the bed. She was dressed in some boxers, and an old t-shirt, both belonging to Jasper. Leah took in her brother. He smelled like Rosalie and Emmett in ways that made her want to snap her teeth, and pull him close to protect him from the possibility of getting his heart broken. However he exuded happiness. There was a twinkle in his eyes, and a glow in his cheeks, "How's my little genius," she said snuggling up to her brother, much like that day in that musty motel in Canada.

"I'm good, and just thinking. I won't ever have kids Le."

Leah looked at her brother, and the glow faded a little, "Maybe you guys could get a surrogate, one that has to sign an NDA the size of Mt. Rushmore, but I don't think Rosalie will care as long as it's a baby," the suggestion was met with a smile, and Leah would take it even if the smile was a little thin, "C'mon lets see if Esme has any breakfast before I need to bleed myself dry."

He chuckled, and rolled out of bed. Leah followed behind.
