{Author's Note: Okay I totally forgot the disclaimer in the last chapter so here it is I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT ALL CREDIT GOES TO STEPHANIE MEYER! We cool now obsessive lawyers? Okay just checking. As if that smut in the last chapter wasn't an apology enough. XD So quick poll for the reviews: Was it weird for you switching over to Bella's POV? It was for me personally I'm really no good at Bella psyche...so I'm switching back to Alice for this chapter. It simply had to be done in order to fit in the scene with Edward. Just saying it's not like I wanted to but I had to. I know what you're all thinking "Cut the crap, stop with the long Author's notes!" so okay okay! Enjoy, my lovelies! Oh and anonymous flamer (I swear if it was one of my fave readers like madbox I'll just be crushed.) from the last chapters reviews...you should really wait and see what'll happen in the story before you judge it so harshly. I think you know as well as I that I don't want Bella to do this behind Alice's back. I wouldn't have made Edward the antagonist if I wanted him and Bella together. What did you think this was going to be... a cutesy one shot about overcoming temptations brought on by first love? No sir! This is a series!
Thank you.}

"Ed...it's Bella. I want a baby." I couldn't believe the words I were hearing. I couldn't even comprehend them, what was my girl talking about, and why was she talking with that scum of the earth I thought we got rid of years ago? I bit my lip holding back the tears as I stared at her from across the room. "Mm-hmm...Okay. Like I said I have to talk to Alice about it first I'm not going to do this without her...okay. I want to speak to Car...oh. Well please tell him I called. To be honest I would like to do all my business with Carlisle until this is all finalized. Look I'm just not comfortable with our past...no! Good night Ed!" she spoke angrily into the phone and hung up. She walked up to the bed to crawl in next to me again to find me glaring at her with tears in my eyes. "Oh...Alice you heard that? Good. I wanted to talk to you about that!" Bella began much to my dismay. She'd wanted me to hear that?

"Bella you've been a vampire for five years now. You should know that our kind can't have children by now. We discussed this. Baby tell me what's going on!" I sat up wrapping my arms around myself as the room had a sudden chill to it. I looked my lover in the eyes as she stared back at me the phone in her palm. I feared she was leaving me for that scum. That she was going to run off with the boy and adopt a child or something. What did Carlisle have to do with anything? I just didn't get it.

"Alice I want a baby of my own. I want it so badly it keeps me up at night!" Bella began. She sat down on the bed beside me and in the darkness looked as though she was going to fall apart. She was holding herself together. Her hair was in fly-aways and she was turning bright red as she tried to breathe and further explain herself feeling fingers being pointed at her. She wiped away one of her tears and explained everything that had happened today. I listened intently as I put my hands on her shoulders and rubbed her hair as a way of letting her know that I understood. "I've got names, beautiful names picked out! I want to name my baby! I want the glory of knowing it's mine!" she finished. "Like Jessica has."

I held my girl tightly in my arms and rocked her back and forth stroking her hair. "Baby is that it? Is that what this is about?" I whispered. She nodded into my chest as she weakly clung to me. "Baby it's okay...I can't say I'm comfortable with you and that boy. It just don't sit right with me baby. I feel like he's taking advantage of your emotions. I know how strong your past is and I'd be lying to say I'm not scared of that. For God's sake Bella he won't even let you talk to Carlisle! It just doesn't feel..." I began.

"What does our past together have to do with this?" Bella interrupted.

"Bella, I know you used to love him and I guess I'm just scared that old feelings will rise again." My logical input

"Do you honestly think that somehow through this experience I'm going to fall in love with him all over again?" She snapped.

"Well...kinda. Yeah."

"I can't believe you! I thought you trusted that we were done! Alice I was able to walk away from him completely because of you! I love you Alice. No one else," she blew up in my face.

"Oh I'm sorry Bella. I guess I'm just not comfortable with permitting my girlfriend to have sex for procreation with her ex-fucking-boyfriend!" I snapped right back. Her eyes widened and glowed as the tears filmed over them. She was so close to break-down it was scary yet heart-warming. "Bella I love you. I don't want to lose you to him." I whispered more gently as I squeezed her tightly.

"Alice, I'll never leave you. You've given me much happier times than he ever has. I've felt more love for you than I ever have for him. To me he's just a donor. You are the other parent in my eyes. I promise," she breathed. I kissed her sweet pair of lips and held her face in my hands. I looked her in the eyes to make my point loud and clear.

"Isabella Marie Swan...not only do I want to have this baby with you. I want to marry you. Officially marry you." I shuffled awkwardly out of her arms to retrieve the ring box I'd been saving under the pillow case until I thought the time was right. I smiled at her with tears welling up in my eyes as I opened the box revealing to her the brand new shimmering diamond ring of her dreams. (I'd seen her gawking at it while we were out before.)

"Oh Alice it's beautiful!" she exclaimed making my eyes light up.

"Almost as beautiful as you..." I mused.

"Yes! Oh yes Alice of course I'll marry you!" She began to cry tears of joy as I slipped the diamond ring on finger. A perfect fit. "Alice do you really want to go through with this?" she asked me.

"Baby I want to have a beautiful child with you, and more than anything I want you to be happy."

"So you trust me?" she asked cocking an eyebrow as she looked down at the shimmering diamond on her finger.

"Yes. I trust you. I know you'll do the right thing," I told her meaningfully. The phone suddenly rang. I decided I'd pick up. "Hello?" I asked the other line.

"Alice pleasant to hear from you my girl! I trust Bella has told you why I'd be calling at such a preposterous hour?" Carlisle asked.

"Yes. I have agreed to the study. I also have some very pleasant news. Bella and I are engaged!"

"Marvelous! Congratulations! I couldn't be happier for the both of you. Now I expect you both to be home tomorrow correct?"

"Yes. I'm off work so, yeah we'll both be here." I couldn't help but wonder if Carlisle and the others would be showing up tomorrow. I felt a lump in my throat. I was nervous and unsure. This was all happening so fast!

"I have a lab in Forks that no one knows about. I need you to come to this address..." He then informed me of the exact location of the lab and even gave me directions as to how to get there. He told me to come as inconspicuously as possible. He also told me to make sure that Bella was totally healthy. (Meaning of course that she already had her fill of blood.) I nodded as I wrote all the information I need to know down in the journal I keep in the bed side table drawer.

"I'll see you there okay?"

"Alright. Be careful, and thank you for participating in this study. I can't tell you how ground-breaking it is that you agree to this." He sounded very proud to have his experiment coming to life before his very eyes. "I love you."

"Love you too," I replied to my father figure. I hung up and put the phone down on the bed.

Bella jumped on me sitting in my lap looking down at me before diving in and leaving several kisses all down my neck singing "I love you I Love you I love you I love you!" I smiled and kissed her fragile little neck squeezing her tightly, but inside I had a terrible uneasiness.
