A/N: Alright, so I'm writing the second chapter for this one, if I still feel like writing tonight (hopefully) I'm going to get the next chapter of my platinum heart out.
So, I think I'm going to go with the whole 'A&J come because Alice had a vision'
Eh, you'll get it later. On with the story!
Ok guys Bella's power:
She can do just about anything with her mind, pick stuff up, move stuff, communicate, force people to do things (takes TONS of energy), block her mind from others' powers, read other people's minds, etc.

Belrosa Marie Collins Point of View
I looked down into the eyes of my son – oh how I cherish those words. Soon I will get to see my family again – my Edward again, like I could not for these past nine months.
"We still haven't chosen a name for you yet, have we?" I cooed to the small infant in my arms. I touched his perfect little nose with the tip of my finger. I knew to control my strength around him already, and I was glad of it.
I looked into his small face and I was filled with pride. His hair, even at his age, was already a messy array of copper-colored hair. His face was heart-shaped and he had bright hazel eyes. His expressions were strong like his father's, but his features were softer, like mine. I'm sure if Jasper was here he'd feel the pride radiating right off my skin.
Suddenly I felt Cora's presence in the room. I smiled at her without taking my eyes off my child, and I gently patted my other knee, telling her to sit down. I felt her slight weight on my other side, and her small arms sneaked their way around my waist.
She looked quizzically down at my baby before turning to me, the full force of her topaz gaze forcing me to look at her.
"What is his name?" she asked me quietly.
I looked down at him and saw one of his tiny little hands grab a strand of his curly copper-colored hair as he began to tug on it innocently.
"Rory. Rory Mason Cullen." (A/N: Yes, Rory is a boy's name, I've always wanted to name my son (if I have one) Rory when I get older) I replied as I looked lovingly down at the child.
At that moment I heard tires squealing in the driveway, and I was frightened. No human would drive that fast on these dirt roads, and Sara and Derik were in the other room. It was a vampire.
I looked over at Cora who was staring at me with confusion in her eyes. "Go tell Sara and Derik, we don't have much time." I whispered to her before cradling Rory into my chest and running as fast as I could without harming him (catching a cold from the wind, you know that stuff). I set him tenderly in his crib and turned, looking protectively at the closed door. No one was going to touch my baby.
I could again hear the tires squealing and judging by the volume, I assumed the other vampires (there were 2) would be here within the minute. I decided to tap into the mind of the vampire driving's mind and see what they had to say.
How could she do this to us? I'm going to torture her… hmmm what'll it be first…
I quickly withdrew from her thoughts (I knew it was a girl). Her 'voice' was so familiar... it sent chills down my spine. Then the anger rose within me, they were going to try to torture Sara or Cora, and I was just sitting here, protecting my baby, when I should be protecting my whole family.
I could hear the car on the gravel of our driveway and I quickly wrapped Rory into a blanket and put him in his baby seat before flying into the front room, I quickly hid his seat in the bathroom across the hall and I gave him his favorite stuffed animal – a mountain loin – to play with until we were finished. I looked into his eyes and saw no fear, only pure content. I truly understand what they mean by ignorance is bliss after looking into those eyes.
I quickly kiss him on the forehead as I hear the car doors slam. By the time the door is closed I can hear them walking into the threshold. The doorbell had rung, but I decided not to speed up my pace.
Sara had told me that if they needed me they would call for me, me being a new vampire (Who still had her pregnancy mood swings) that she was afraid for Rory if I accidentally forgot all the control I had been working so hard on.
I could hear soft, gently footsteps – almost non-existent – followed by a second pair, they were louder, but still graceful and had a somewhat calming rhythm to them.
I tried to hear the conversation that was going on in the other room – I could have if I had wanted to, but I was too busy listening to Rory and making sure that he would be okay by himself.
"-yes, it's very nice to meet another family who does not hunt humans." I heard Sara say. I almost sighed in relief – they were vegetarians, they were now less of a threat to my baby. I then started to listen closer to the conversation. The next voice I heard shocked me.
"Yes, it can be hard at times but – do you smell something?" One of the new-comers said, and I froze in my tracks for two reasons. One was that I knew that voice, I would know I anywhere, with its satin-like quality and the calm that seemed infused in it – it all just clicked, the calming waves coming from his steps, the feeling that I had known that thought-voice. It was Jasper, and no doubt it was Alice with him, I wanted to run to them, but then I registered what he said, he had smelled my Rory.
I let a growl rip from my chest at his words and everyone in the other room fell silent. Shit. Too late to turn back now. I drew in a slow breath and began walking to the ever-looming door that was in front of me. It's not like I didn't want to see Alice and Jasper, I did, I did with all my heart but I was afraid that if I went too fast I would not be able to stop and I would throw myself at them with all my might. And I'm not sure if they even want me back after what I did, no I could not think of that, my heart was already crumbling at the mere idea.
I continued my slow human-pace walk to the room which was now in utter silence, one I got to the door frame I bolted over to where Cora was standing and I draped my arms around her protectively and lovingly.
But I did not look at her, I could not take my eyes off of the two beautiful vampires in front of me, two beautiful vampires I never thought I'd see again.
My heart swelled with happiness and I saw Jasper falter a bit at the intensity of it, I would have giggled if the situation was not so serious.
I turned my gaze from Jasper to Alice and I felt my accursed eyes flicker from topaz to my old chocolate brown – I cursed my eyes, like when I was human and I would cry when angered, my eyes would flash back to the way they were when they were human if I was feeling a strong emotion, generally happiness or hatred. This time it was definitely happiness.
"Bella?" Alice gasped, and before I could do anything besides take my arms from around Cora Alice was ramming herself into me in a giant hug, and before I knew it we were rolling on the floor play-fighting and laughing so hard our unneeded lungs were straining to find air.
"I win!" Alice yelled triumphantly as I stopped moving, the laughter had consumed me completely. Then she added sweetly, "Now I get to take you shopping!"
"Alic--" I was cut off when I heard Rory begin to cry. I could feel my eyes turn black as I pushed Alice off me and I heard her backside hit the ground after I was already half-way to Rory.
I looked at him, and his face was red from screaming. I bent down to him and gently picked him up in my arms, cradling him from whatever fears he may be having. As soon as my cold arms touched his skin he seemed comforted and he snuggled his little form into my chest. I smiled a wide grin – this is what I used to do with Edward when I was a human.
I walked back to the front room with Rory securely in my arms, I had to do this now. They had to know sooner or later, and I was sure sooner would be better.
When I walked in all was silent and I slowly walked over to the leather armchair and folded my legs gracefully under me as I slowly rocked Rory into a steady sleep.
I looked up to see Jasper's wide eyes and Alice's stunned, yet excited expression.
I braced myself for their comments, and I closed my eyes. I felt two cold arms wrap around my stomach and I saw Jasper standing over me, a look of shock and pride in his eyes. "But, how? No, I don't want to know, I'm an uncle…"
Next was Alice, who cold not contain her excitement and she bounced up and down, with all her pent up energy I'm surprised she did not explode.
"I'M AN AUNT!!" She squealed and I saw Rory open his eyes, but he did not cry, he just looked up at the gorgeous spiky-haired pixie-like vampire above him and tilted his head to the side before cooing a little and smiling one of those adorable baby smiles.
That's all it took for Alice, seconds later Rory was out of my arms and being spun around by Alice. His small arms were out by his sides as Alice spun, they were waving up and down and he was making cute little giggling noises. I couldn't help but laugh my new melodic laugh.
His head spun around to me when I did and his grin widened. "Rory." He said, quite clearly. I was shocked. He was two days old and he can say his name? I guess when I laughed it reminded him of when I would touch his nose and laugh at his expression while whispering 'silly Rory'. This is too much for one day.
Suddenly Alice stopped spinning and looked at him, she then turned still as a statue and Jasper quickly gripped her around her waist as I grabbed Rory from her grip.
Alice was having a vision. And not a very good one at the, she looks so scared…
Alice gasped when her vision was over and she buried her head into Jasper's shoulder and dry sobbed. She was shaking uncontrollably and I was soon afraid for the family that I love. What was wrong?
As if Rory could feel what Alice was feeling he looked over to her and said "Don't be scared."
We all looked over to him and it was as if his words were infused with some kind of power, because we all physically seemed to relax, and even Alice looked less petrified, but that did not get rid of the worry in her eyes.
"Bella-" she started. Oh god, can I handle hearing this?
A/N: Cliffy:o
I am an evil, evil writer.
So, it's a no-go on the MPH update. I'll get to that one tomorrow, I swear.
I just realized – what's with Alice /and or/ Jasper being the one that finds Bella in all my stories?
Meh, whatever.
