AN: Hello again. I'm sorry for the delay in updating. I've been editing previous chapters and should have those up soon. On top of that I've been working on my novel, been in two weddings, taking finals, and working at my new job. Anyways, I'm sorry again and will be trying to do better. Anyways here is the new chapter, and I hope you enjoy.

Chapter 5

Edward POV:

In the four days since my new daughter's birth, she hadn't been out of my arms for more than fifteen minutes at a time. I admit that I was spoiling her, but really couldn't care less. She was the most perfect baby in the world. The only other baby that's perfection could compete with my little Aurora is Renesmee. My little girls are equally perfect in every way, and I'm so glad that they are mine.

That's the reason I ended up holding my daughter in the arm chair as we waited for our guests to arrive. Charlie, Sue, Seth, Billy, Renee and Phil would be there any minute to meet our little princess. They were just as excited as I had been to meet her. We had, of course sent pictures of her after her birth, but nothing compares to seeing her in person.

Bella had entered the room and sat on the arm of the chair as she handed me Aurora's bottle. "Aren't babies supposed to want their momma more than anyone else?"

"Bella, you're her mother. She loves you and loves when you hold her. It's really all my fault because I want to hold her all the time." What I said was true. Baby girl loved being held by everyone—even Jacob despite how much she didn't like his odor—I was really a baby hog. I looked for reasons to take her away from everyone just to spend more time bonding with her. I had officially become a pushover. My daughter had wrapped me around her little fingers and I knew that I may live to regret my now weak nature.

"Can I hold her then," Bella asked reaching over to grab our daughter, but before she could pick her up Aurora made a sound of protest and Bella removed her hands. "Fine, missy. You stay with your daddy, but I am gonna play with you while you do." Bella then tickled baby's belly. It was obvious that Aurora was happy, because those big, beautiful hazel eyes—which, remarkably, she was born with—turned bright emerald green. "Oh, how beautiful your eyes are when you're happy, little miss."

Aurora looked up at her momma as she continued to be talked to. When she had finished her bottle, I gave her to Bella to be burped as Esme entered the room. "I just got a call from Alice. She said they'd be here in ten minutes and Charlie and everyone else will be here in five. So I need to see our little girl as soon as you're through burping her. I must get her changed."

"I think she's finished," Bella said before she snuggled Aurora a little closer. "Mommy loves you so much. Now go with grandma so she can get you ready to see everyone. Here she is Esme." Bella handed our little girl to Esme and Esme proceeded to take her to the downstairs bathroom to change her clothes for the grand visit.

Bella scooted into my lap and rested her head on my shoulder. "So I take it by Alice's refusal to be in the same house as us for more than ten minutes is because she's keeping what she's did to the nursery a secret from you."

I laughed and nodded as Nessie came in from the back yard. "Where's Rora?"

"In here," Esme called to her. Nessie started for the bathroom to grab her sister.

"Hello, Nessie," Bella called after her.

"Hey," Nessie called over her shoulder. Nessie had been a great sister so far. Every chance she got she had her sister in her arms and talked to her or played with her. She loved being a big sister and she excelled at it.

She returned to the living room with her sister, who had been put in a Sleeping Beauty onesie that had a little skirt and had sequins placed to resemble Sleeping Beauty's dress's bodice on the top. A little pink head band topped off the whole look. It was obvious that Alice had picked it out.

"How has your day been, Sissy. Are you excited about meeting Grandpa and Grandma? I know they're excited about meeting you. You also get to meet Seth. He's Jacob's friend and he's also a good friend of everyone else." Nessie went on telling Aurora about everyone she was going to meet and Aurora listened even though she didn't really comprehend the words just yet and would forget them soon.

We all listened as tires hit the drive way, and Nessie turned back to Aurora. "Grandpa's almost here. He's absolutely going to adore you. Trust me. I bet he even has a few presents for you." I watched my daughters interact with each other and listened for Charlie's car to stop.

Two minutes later Sue parked her car and Charlie made it from the car to the door of the house in record time for him. His excitement was as clear in his thoughts as it was on his face when Esme led him to the living room. He looked straight to the baby in her sister's arms. "Is that her?"

"Yeah, Dad," Bella said as she rose from her spot in my lap and went to take Aurora from of her sister. Bella walked from Nessie to her father and held out our little girl for him to hold. "This is Aurora, Aurora Alison Jasmine Esme Carlisle Amelia Renee Charlotte Emma Antonia Marie Rose Cullen, but we call her Aurora Marie."

Charlie took his grandchild into his arms touched that another of his grandchildren was named after him in some way. He looked into his granddaughter's eyes and she looked back at him. "Hello, little girl. You are a beautiful little princess. I'm your grandpa Charlie."

Sue came in with Seth and Billy as Charlie sat next to Nessie on the couch. "Hello Sue, Seth, Billy," Bella greeted them as they entered.

"Congratulations, Bella, Edward," Billy said from his chair as Jacob wheeled him further into the room among the seats in the room.

"Thank you, Billy," I said getting up to shake his hand. "I'm glad you could be here to meet our little girl."

"Wouldn't miss it, not that Charlie would let us miss it. You're going to have one spoiled little girl. Charlie has the entire trunk practically filled with gifts from him. Which reminds me." Billy then took the wrapped box that laid in him lap and handed it to me. "This is from Jacob and me. It has to do with the nursery theme. Jacob told me what it was and we went and picked this out for the little cutie. I'd open it before Alice gets here if I were you."

I laughed and handed the present to Bella. "Thank you Billy," I told him at the same time Bella did. She then proceeded to open the present and pull out the teddy bear that was dressed like Sleeping Beauty.

"It's a Disney princess themed nursery? I bet it's completely beautiful," Bella said amazed. "And I know this little beauty is gonna look wonderful in it. I absolutely love it and I know Aurora will, too. Thank you so much, Billy and Jacob." Esme took the wrapping paper and Bella took the bear over to show it to our daughter as Seth and Jacob went out to the car with Sue to start bringing in the other gifts.

"Look here, princess. You're Uncle Billy got you a Sleeping Beauty bear, and you should completely ignore me," Bella said with a laugh while Aurora ignored her. Aurora was too engrossed in trying to understand who this new person that was holding her was and what all he was telling her meant. "You just wait till your Grandma Renee gets here. You'll be begging to listen to me once she talks your ears off."

Aurora continued to ignore her mother as she listened to Charlie tell her what all he got her. I hoped for his sake that he gets better at keeping her presents secrets before she gets old enough to trick him into spilling the beans as to what he'd gotten her. That is if she didn't turn out to be a telepathic like me. He'd have no hope then.

"Charlie share the baby," Sue scolded when she re-entered the living room with an arm full of gifts.

"Here let me get those, Sue," I offered and walked over to her. She handed me the gifts and went over to see Aurora.

Sue held her arms out expectantly Charlie reluctantly handed Aurora to her. "Hello little girl. My name is Sue. I am kinda like your third grandma. If you ever need anything you just call me and your Grandpa Charlie." Sue held Aurora for a few more minutes until she passed her off to Billy who then passed her off to Seth after a few moments with her.

It was then that Seth got his first good look at my new daughter and I realized that I had been dreading this moment. I didn't know how I'd take a wolf imprinting on my new daughter no matter how much I liked Seth. One wolf son-in-law would be enough in my book.

Seth looked at my daughter and, remarkably, nothing changed. She was just the daughter of two of his very good friends and now one of his best friends. In his mind he'd seen the future he'd have with my daughter. He'd be her best friend and big brother figure. He'd protect her and understand her. He knew eventually he'd find his imprint, but he'd always have his friend, Aurora. It was the beginning of a great friendship and I couldn't be more relieved.

It was at that moment that Alice and Jasper returned with Renee and Phil and a whole new round of meet and greet started.

A Few Hours Later

Bella POV:

It was late and all of the introductions had been made and the presents opened. I was walking my mother to the front door to see her off before she left to go to her hotel. "You are going to the christening tomorrow, right," I asked as we reached the porch.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world," my mother replied, "Alice and Amelia surely have arranged transportation to the Court chapel, right?"

"Yes," I answered her as we walked down the steps, "Amelia will open a portal tomorrow morning for everyone who are invited and can't open one themselves and haven't already traveled to Court."

"Well then, you and Edward go get that baby to bed and I'll see you in the morning." My mother pulled me in for a hug. "I love you, honey."

"I love you, too, Mom," I said as I returned her hug. "I'll see you in the morning."

My mother released me and went to the car that Jacob and Phil waiting in to take them to their hotel. I waved her off and then returned to the living room where the rest of my family remained after the day of introductions.

What I saw when I walked into the room was Alice strapping my newborn, sleeping daughter into a car seat and Jasper gathering the rest of the presents and heading out the back doors. "What are you doing," I asked softly so I wouldn't wake my little girl.

"She's preparing our daughter for the drive to the cottage. It's time to see the nursery," Edward answered for her. "Everyone else is already over there finishing up."

"I see that my poor baby has again been subjected to a wardrobe change," I stated as Alice lifted the car seat with my little girl in it.

"Of course," Alice simply replied as she headed towards the garage with my daughter who had been changed into a white onesie with the words "I'm 99.9% sure I'm a Disney Princess."

I looked to Edward and he only chuckled and shook his head. We then proceeded to follow Alice to the garage where she was waiting in the Volvo.

The ride to the cottage seemed longer than I thought it would be. It was probably due to my aversion to surprises, but the ride eventually ended and we all got out of the car. I took a deep breath before we entered the house.

There waiting was the rest of our family in a completely baby-proofed living room complete with some baby toys. Alice placed the car seat on the floor and I retrieved my daughter from it. When I had my daughter in my arms everyone welcomed us home and Esme started to lead us up the stairs.

We paused at the nursery door and Esme opened it. Edward and I walked inside and I was completely taken by surprise. Everything was completely perfect. What I thought would consist of bright pinks and constant images of the cartoon characters was actually a wonderful blend of soft creams, whites, pinks, gold, and silver.

There was a antique cream tufted crib with matching dresser and changing table. In one corner sat a soft pink armchair that had a matching sofa along one of the walls.. On the soft, cream gold colored walls were soft paintings of the Disney Princesses that matched the soft theme that I'm sure Alice painted to make sure nothing clashed with the soft, classy theme. Above the crib a silver crown was mounted with white, lacey canopy, and under it was a silver "A." And on gold shelves all around the room were her new princess bears and dolls. It was indescribably perfect.

"Thank you guys so much. It is absolutely perfect," I whispered as I went to place my daughter in her new bed.

"Yeah, it's much more suitable than the baseball theme you had in mind," Alice laughed. "Her clothes are either in the closet or in the dresser. Her toys are in the toy box in the closet. Blankets are in the dresser with the burp cloths. Pacifiers are in the kitchen in the cabinet with the bottles, but there are a few in one of the jars on her dresser. The iPod on the dresser has been loaded up with all of the lullabies I could find that I know she'd like. If there are any others you want to add let me know, even if it is a completely new one that no one else will have. The kitchen is stocked up on blood and baby formula, and her clothes for tomorrow are already set out on the dresser and packed in the diaper bag, which is by the front door."

"Okay, Alice, I think you've informed them about everything," Esme chuckled, "If you need anything just give us a call. We'll see you in the morning."

We said our goodbyes and Edward and I sat in the nursery with our daughter the rest of the night.

The Next Day

Edward POV:

Before my daughters were born, I was so sure I no longer had a soul. When I first held Renesmee in my arms for the first time I knew that I had been blessed. I began to believe that maybe I had a soul and that maybe I did have a shot at heaven even if I've found it here on Earth. I also had to believe that there was a better place beyond death for my girls.

The morning of the christening, I sat in the nursery with Aurora thinking about the events that were going to take place that day. My daughter will be baptized and will have a spot in heaven specifically for her.

That's how we found ourselves here at the Court's church in a dressing room. I had been holding Aurora who had been dressed in her christening gown while Nessie and Bella got ready. My poor little girl looked like she was drowning in the white fabric that surrounded her. I thought it was a little too much, but Alice and Bella agreed that it was all needed. My wife had crossed over to the dark side, and my poor daughter would be the one to suffer with the endless fashion shows and makeovers that were sure to happen now that Alice had recruited Bella.

Charlie knocked on the door to the room, and Nessie ran out of the bathroom, across the rest of the room, and opened the door for him to enter. She quickly hugged him and bolted back to the bathroom calling, "Hey, Grandpa," over her shoulder.

"Hey, Ness," he called to her before he turned to me. He was wearing a blue tie like mine that matched the blue dress that Aurora would be changed into for the reception later. He greeted me and then saw my tie. "I guess Alice got to everyone."

"Make the girl a part of any celebration and she'll go overboard, but now she has an excuse. Everything that seems too much is never too much because now it's for a royal occasion," I explain and look down at Aurora.

"Well, I think Aurora wishes everything wasn't so grand. She looks like she's swimming in that dress."

"Don't let Alice hear you say that, Charlie," Emmett said as he walked in followed by Jasper, Jacob, Seth, and Carlisle.

"What are you doing in here, Emmett," Bella demands as she emerges in a royal blue dress from the bathroom.

"What does it look like? We're hiding from Alice. Right now she's distracted by greeting the guest with Esme and discussing security plans with the guards on how to limit any threat that the Volturi may cause. What has she done to poor little Shortie?" Emmett's eye rested on the heap of cloth that Alice calls a christening gown.

"Emmett, Aurora looks perfect," Bella says as she comes to stroke our sleeping daughter's cheek.

"She looks like a snowball," Emmett said aloud. Leave it to Emmett to say what everyone else is thinking.

"Emmett, shut up. It's too late to turn back now. She looks perfect and you all need to get back out there so we can start on time. We've only got ten minutes. Oh, and hi, Dad. I love you. Emmett, Jasper, and Jacob, go get everyone ready to walk. Nessie will be walking with us since she's Aurora's sister. Alice will get everyone else lined up," Bella explained before she turned around looking for something. She rested her attention on a small book to review the process of the events.

Everyone left to line up with thoughts of good luck to me. I looked down at Aurora and she looked back. "Okay, princess, you're about to be baptized, and then you'll meet a lot of people. Just don't get overwhelmed, although I know you probably will, understandably."

"Does she understand you," Nessie asked as she returned from the bathroom with her hair up in an intricate bun that matched her mother's.

"No, but I don't think it's fair to not give her some warning anyways. Will you hand me her white pacifier from the diaper bag. It won't hurt to have it in case she cries."

Nessie handed me the paci, and I tucked it away in my inside jacket pocket. I then stood up with Aurora in my arms. "Okay, let's do this, baby girl." Bella, Nessie, and I then walked with Aurora to the main entrance to the chapel where our family was waiting.

Everyone that had to walk down the aisle was in his or her place, and the godparents, excluding Nessie, were already in the church. Amelia was the first one to walk into the chapel with a great fanfare. She took her place standing in front of her chair at the front of the chapel, and then one pair at a time Aurora's grandparents walked down the aisle and took their places.

When everyone else was in position, a custom fanfare composed for Aurora started playing and the doors were opened for us. Nessie took the lead walking five steps ahead of Bella, Aurora, and me.

As I walked, I took notice of the faces of our friends, former queens, and three faces that I could never forget. Aro, Cias, and Marcus stood in the middle of a row close to the front of the room. I clutched my daughter to me a little closer, but lifted my chin and continued on.

When we reached the front of the room, Bella and I made small bows towards Amelia and took our places. After a few songs and prayers, Bella and I, along with Aurora's six grandparents—Nessie, Jacob, Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, and Alice—gathered around the gold basin of water for Aurora's baptism.

We were asked if we'd protect Aurora, care for her, and love her as she deserves and take those as our responsibilities given to us by God sworn before Him and those in attendance. After everyone of course said, "yes," Bella and I held Aurora's head over the gold basin, and Nessie removed her bonnet. The bishop then took a small silver pitcher, and poured the water over the top of Aurora's head. "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirt, I baptize thee Aurora Elizabeth Alison Jasmine Esme Carlisle Amelia Renee Charlotte Emma Antonia Marie Rose Cullen." The bishop then dipped his fingers in the gold basin and drew a cross on Aurora's forehead. "And by the order of the Queen Amelia, I crown thee Aurora, Grand Princess of the world of magic and sole heir to the throne."

The bishop stepped away from the basin, Nessie replaced the bonnet on Aurora's head. "I present to you ladies and gentlemen, Aurora, Grand Princess. Hail Aurora," the bishop said followed by a echoes of "Hail Aurora," from the crowd. My daughter had been crowned. All hail the princess Aurora.

AN: Thank you all for reading and reviewing. I would like to give a shout out to SissyCbella, nicoleleecarter, csp4, Carlisle captain of equestrian, bukajade, bella 14340, and jazzy17 for the great support in their reviews. I know that the christening wasn't like a typical christening, but it is the way they do it in the story since it's a completely different type of church. I am again very sorry for the delay in updating, and promise to do better. Stay tuned for the next chapter for the reception where Aro, Cias, and Marcus will meet the Princess for the first time. Please read and review. Until next time… SuperBat5795
