A/N: I did not write this all myself. Actually I didn't write any of it; it's just mostly my ideas. Writing credit goes to April Nichole. She has a few other pretty good Twilight Fan Fictions, and I suggest you check them out.
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of this story, or any of the things from the original 'Twilight Saga' by Stephenie Meyer. But I, and April Nichole, do own Adora Mireya, and everything that happens to her in the past and future.
7: Nicknames.

Over the next couple of weeks Emmett and I were getting into a routine with Adora. I was getting used to hearing the same music over and over while she slept since there was now more than one group that she would listen to. Emmett had her in the living room watching some game. I was cleaning the nursery yet again listening to Emmett talk to both the TV and our little girl.
I could have cleaned the room in a couple of seconds flat but I was going at a speed that could be in between human and vampire. Emmett and I decided that we would do everything at human speed for Adora to try and not draw attention to ourselves. Of course that rule will go out the window if there is ever an emergency.
I stopped for a minute to watch Emmett and Adora after starting a load of laundry. While Alice was always helping to keep our wardrobes revolving there were still bedding and towels to wash. If there had been any part of Emmett that had doubts that he kept from me, they were certainly gone. Adora had him wrapped around her finger. Then again how could someone not love her?
"See that? That is a free throw…Oh come on."
It was even funnier watching him talk to Adora and the TV than it was to listen to it. Even Adora thought it was funny when he would yell at the TV. I loved hearing her laugh.
"Oh, see now he is going for the three point shot. Ohhh, did you see that Addie?" She giggled again.
"Who's Addie? Did you rename our baby?"
"Geezz Rose, don't sneak up on me during a game."
I rolled my eyes. He was just being dramatic. It's not like we could actually sneak up on each other.
"You didn't answer my question."
"No, I didn't rename her. I guess I thought it could be her nickname."
"Well try again. Addie sounds more like an actual name not a nickname. Besides it has no resemblance to her name."
"Neither does Nessie but fine." He turned back to the TV pouting. Adora reached up to his face and giggled. That got him to relax. I shook my head as I went back to cleaning.
A couple of hours later Adora had woken up from her nap about five minutes before most of the rest of the family showed up. I'm sure that timing had to do with Alice. The only ones not here were Carlisle since he still had work. Nessie and Jacob were at school. Nessie was pretty much coming over after school everyday, most of the time Jacob would also come with her.
Renesmee had made it easier to deal with Jacob being around but I think that having Adora now I was really softening up to dealing with the dog smell. Of course I would never admit that. But there was no way the other wolves were getting around Adora. I wouldn't chance one of them imprinting on her like Jacob did with Nessie. Dealing with one dog around was one thing but to have another one around I wouldn't do.
"Hey what do you guys think of the name Addie?"
"Emmett, are you serious?" Hadn't we already gone through this? Why is he asking the rest of the family?
"What? I'm just asking."
"It's not really a nickname is it?" Bella commented.
"I agree. It sounds more like someone's name. Are you going to change her name?" For once Edward and I were on the same page.
"No we are not changing her name. I thought we had decided that surely there were other things you can nickname her if you really have to."
"Fine, I was just asking."
Everyone couldn't help but to laugh at the two of us. Emmett was good at making it seem like I had two kids instead of one. We all sat around talking for a few more hours and Esme took over the duties for the night of feeding Adora and putting her to sleep. After that everyone left except for Alice and Jasper. Jasper and Emmett played video games and Alice and I worked on a scrapbook for Adora. Adora's scrapbook didn't have to be as extensive like Renesmee's was since she is fully human but she would still end up with several scrapbooks through her life.
Carlisle finally talked us into taking Adora outside. Emmet kept agreeing with him that it was time and that she would be okay. I was nervous that she would get sick or something. Carlisle kept telling me that in order to build up her immune system she had to get outside and get around other people.
Adora had gotten stronger so that made me feel a little better about taking her out. She had been able to start rolling over and holding her head up. One day Emmett and I loaded up the car with her car seat, diaper bag and a stroller and headed to a park in town. Bella, Nessie and Alice met us there so we could have a little back up. We'll mainly so I could have some back up since I was the once on edge seeing other children and parents around.
Emmett and Nessie took off with Adora and the camera and headed towards the slides. Through the afternoon I was relaxing more with her being outside and being around other children surprisingly though Emmett seemed to get a little on edge.
"Rose, don't let her eat the sand."
"Emmett, she's not. Calm down." Adora had gotten to the point that pretty much anything she could get her hands on she would try to put in her mouth, while it was cute that she was developing it meant that there was more for us to watch out for.
Adora never did get sick from going out which was a good thing or it would probably be another long while before we took her out again. Emmett even started taking her for "father daughter" walks in the woods as he called them. He looked adorable having her strapped to his chest.
I tried asking one day what they do because they would be gone for hours but he would never tell me. He said that was their time and I should find something to make into "mother daughter" time. I guess he is right on that. I would have to think on what the right thing would be for us.
Adora was about nine months old and it was my turn to read her a book and put her to bed. I had gotten to about the third page of Goodnight Moon and through Adora's jabber came an actual word, "mama". Since the day of bringing Adora home this was the best night ever. About three days later she said "dada". Emmett was bouncing all over the place after she said it and we had put her to bed. To her, our little girl, we now had names "mama" and "dada". I even think that she could see how happy it made us to hear her say them so she would kind of point at us and say them over and over.
"Mama, Dada."
