Chapter Five:
"Seeing Bronze"
Numbness. That's the word I have been using to describe myself lately…Numbness.
It has been 5 long, long days since Edward left us. After his death, Carlisle buried him in the Chicago cemetery. I couldn't handle it, so I stayed in Carlisle's house, and I soaked through 7 of Carlisle's pillow covers with my tears. I seem to be in shock, Carlisle told me. He's worried about me, and I couldn't agree more with him. I'm a complete and total mess. I won't sleep or eat or do anything that reminds me of Edward, which is usually everything.
Carlisle says that I might die soon if I continue to starve myself or not sleep. Which means I would be killing the baby too.
9 Months Later
I try so hard not to think of his name anymore. It hurts just to see Carlisle's beauty though. It reminds me of his beauty. The baby should be born any day now. It's May 21st, right now, and the baby's due date was May 20th. Carlisle has taken me into his home with such care. I am forever grateful to him. Throughout my sleepless nights, Carlisle was there to soothe me. A father I'd never had, but so badly wanted. I'm somewhat better now. I rarely think of him anymore. It's been easier with all the hustle and bustle that comes with having a baby.
Carlisle told me that once the baby was born, he would change me. I agreed to this.
"Bella?" Carlisle called. I looked up from the book I had been reading with questioning eyes.
"Yes?" I called back. Carlisle's head poked into my room. I shut the book and tossed it to my bed.
"I've figured out a way to take the baby with us when I change you." He explained, approaching my reclined figure. I smiled at him. This had been bothering us for months. How to take the baby with us when we go back to the future.
"How, Carlisle?"
"Well, I'm almost positive that its blood related. Everyone in our family will most definitely be whisked right back to Forks. We were all vampires when you died, so that's why we remembered everything even though we were transported back in time." He explained. I nodded, making no sense of what he was saying.
"Uhh…"
"Let me finish," Carlisle urged. "Now, remember your power when you're a vampire. You control things with your body." I nodded. "I have a feeling if I change you right now, still pregnant, then you will be able to have the baby, even if you're a vampire. Because of your power." I jumped out of my chair.
"So that means you can change me, we can go back to Forks in the year 2007, and I can have the baby….because of my super cool vampire powers?" I nearly shouted. Carlisle grinned at my new found bimbo language.
"Yes, Bella." Hold on…that means I could have save Edward. I winced as I thought his name. "It's not your fault we didn't know this sooner. We thought we would've killed the baby if we bit you. We couldn't have saved him." I nodded, tears streaming down my cheeks.
"I know." I breathed out, my arms folding around me chest, stopping the hole in my heart from hurting.
"Okay. I'm going to change you know. Just focus on keeping your human female instincts, and everything should be all right." Carlisle took a step towards me.
"Now?" I gasped.
"Well, yes. It would be the most appropriate time, I guess." Carlisle spoke smoothly.
"Okay…." And not even a second after that, Carlisle bit me. The familiar pain rushed through my body. Fire! Fire! I screamed in my head. But I had to think of saving the child. Keep my human instincts alive. Save the baby. I squeezed my eyes shut, then felt a light mist of water around my body.
I opened my eyes, and was home in Forks with the rest of the Cullens surrounding me. The pain was gone, and I was a vampire again. My hands flew to my stomach, which was still big and swollen.
"I hear a heartbeat, Bella." Carlisle assured me with a deep smile. My grin turned even bigger as Alice gave me a bewildered look.
"Huh? So many questions….." She thought out loud. "Bella! You're here…and pregnant? You're a vampire! That time traveling was horrible. I went back to the asylum. Everything went the same as last time….Everyone's here! Huh? Except Edward. Where's Edward?" Alice shot off. Carlisle made a hush noise as Alice said the last part. She stared at him with wide eyes, then back at me. I realized I was bending down to the ground in sadness. I hid my face in my hands.
"Alice…." Carlisle warned. "Edward….Edward isn't….he's gone." Carlisle spoke quickly and softly, and I would have missed it if I were a human.
Everyone turned to face me, quietly. I saw out of the corner of my eyes that their heads all cocked when they heard our child's distant heartbeat.
"Is it…Edwards?" Alice asked quietly. I knew Carlisle had nodded, because the next thing I knew was that Alice was dancing around my in joy. "Bella! Yay!" She screamed. Everyone laughed, but it was hushed. They were all trying to take in the earlier news. I felt cold arms wrapping around me, and realized they were Esme's.
"We're all so sorry, Bella. So sorry. But also, we are all happy for you and…."
I paused. Everyone was hushed. "You can say his name. I'm fine. Really."
"We don't want to make it harder for you, Bella." Rosalie comforted me.
"Well, thank you." I noted. Emmett smiled wickedly, then spoke.
"I hope it's a boy. I can teach him how to bench-press." And with that, everyone exploded.
"No! It has to be a girl!" Alice and Rosalie cried. "We have to take her shopping and play dress up with her!"
"Girl!" Esme shouted. I smiled and giggled. Secretly, I was hoping for a girl, but I didn't want anyone to know that until it was out.
"Boy!" Jasper shouted. "I can feel it!"
"Shut up, Jasper! You can't feel genders!" Alice protested. Rosalie smiled insanely, then whispered: "Dirrrttty." (A/N: Little Gilmore Girls reference in there for you! ) Everyone exploded into a fit of roaring laughter as Jasper lightly punched Rosalie in the arm. Emmett playfully growled at Jasper, wrapping his arm around Rosalie's tiny waist. I remembered when Edward used to do that….
I shook my head, clearing all thoughts of Edward, and ran towards my family. The hole in my heart was filled. Almost.
2 Hours Later.
"Okay, Bella. You can do this. 1, 2 ,3…" And an echoing baby's cry filled the room.
"Girl!" Alice shouted. "I knew it! Just knew it!" I laughed. I had gone into labor almost the second I had ran over to join in on the 'Gender War' with my family.
I was alone in the house with Alice and Carlisle. The labor had been relatively painless, as I had blocked out all the pain with my mind. I had also made the labor quicker with my mind.
"What are you going to name it?" Alice pressed. I smiled. I'd been tinkering around with this.
"Elizabeth Alice Masen Cullen" I answered simply. Alice squeeled. "Ellie for short. Elizabeth for Edward's mother, Alice for her aunt. I also want her to retain some memory of her father." Alice nodded, then screamed.
"Yay! I get to play dress up!" I shook my head and smiled. Carlisle handed Ellie to me after cleaning her up, and I gasped. She had Edward's beautiful bronze hair and green eyes. Her face was magnificently pale, like her parents. Her face was the definition of perfection.
"Congratulations, Bella. She's beautiful." Carlisle exclaimed.
"Is Ellie a vampire? Or human? Her eyes are green, not red or topaz."
"I believe she's half human, half vampire. She's going to grow as old as old as a year or two younger than you. Sixteen, most likely. She'll probably never have to eat, like you, because that's the diet you had when you gave birth to her. But, she has vampire reflexes and speed."
"Wow. The perfect…being." Alice whispered, gazing at Ellie. I touched Ellie's lips smoothly, and smiled. Ellie softly cooed, and opened her huge green eyes even bigger.
"Bella, do you want to get up now? I have to do away with these sheets before the other vampires come back into the house." I nodded, then swiftly stood up. No pain, even after I had just given birth. Being a vampire was the greatest.
"I'm going to go take a shower…I smell like blood." Alice nodded, then reached out for Ellie. I sniffed Ellie, and gasped. "She smells like Edward…." Alice gasped after sniffing the air as I had.
"She looks and smells like him, Bella." Alice noted. I nodded. Ellie definitely had Edward in her. "I don't smell any human scent on her….no blood scent I mean. Which is good. I'm feeling a tad thirsty right now….You wouldn't want me to eat your newborn daughter." Alice teased. I nudged Alice, then handed Ellie to her.
"I'll be back." I told Alice. I raced up the stairs, vampire speed, took a shower, changed clothes, and was back in 2 minutes.
"Quick." Alice noted. She handed Ellie back to me, and went to call the other vampires back in, that couldn't have handled all the blood.
I gazed down at Ellie, and saw an unbelievable amount of Edward in her.
And then, I started to sing my lullaby.
R & R! I almost named Ellie, Ella! (Bella….Ella….bad idea…) Update tomorrow!
