I woke up to Edward playing with my hair. I didn't remember falling asleep. I looked around and noticed we were in his room. I didn't remember even being in his room either. I looked at him, and he smiled my favorite smile. I couldn't help but smile back.
He kissed my hair. "Good morning, Love."
"Morning."
I was still tired. I wasn't sure why though. I was sure in the past two weeks I had gotten enough sleep. I yawned anyways and sat up. Edward was already sitting up next to me.
"I don't remember falling asleep."
"You were laying on the couch talking to Alice and you fell asleep. So I carried you up here and layed with you."
The thought of Edward carrying me up here and laying with me while I slept made me smile. Then I smelled food.
"That smells good...." I inhaled a deep breath as the smell of food entered my nose.
Edward smiled, like he was waiting for me to realize something important.
"Wait...Food? In the Cullen's home?"
He laughed at my expression and he stood up. He helped me up and we walked down stairs. As we went farther into the house, and closer to the kitchen, the smell of food became stronger. As we walked into the kitchen Edward pulled a chair out for me and I sat down. He sat down across from me.
"Edw-" I was cut off with Alice's voice.
"I'm working on it." She already had a cup of orange juice in her hand, and she placed it in front of me. Of course Alice would know what I was going to ask for.
"Alice, I'm sure I could have gotten it for Bella."
Alice smiled at him and went about cooking with Esme.
"You don't have to cook for me, I can do that myself."
"I insist." Alice said, not turning around to face me.
I smiled. Esme reminded me so much of my mother. Esme basically was mother. She cared for me like I was her child. She always seemed to know what I would want, even though she was a Vampire and I was a human. She took care of me like Renee did, just with less insane ideas.
"You guys didnt have to do this, but thank you anyways."
"Dear, it's not a problem." Esme smiled and placed a plate in front of me. On it were sausage, eggs, and toast. I took a drink of my orange juice and began to eat my food.
Suddenly Alice stood still, and she glanced at Edward who immediately understood.
"Esme, will you get the door?" Edward said calmly.
Esme nodded, and closed the door. She obviously understood too.
Just then, a little girl ran up to the door, only to find it closed. Rosalie ran up behind her, scooping her up in her arms and carrying her away.
"She got away from Rose." Alice said. It all became obvious to me: Alice had a vision my child got away, Edward read her mind, and then told Esme to close the door so she wouldn't come in here. I looked down at my food and began to eat again. My little girl was two weeks old, and I haven't touched her yet. Edward must have read my expression, and soon enough, he was seated next to me.
"Bella." It was all he said and he tilted my chin up. I forced a small smile and looked back down. Esme came over and placed a hand on my shoulder.
"You can have her soon, Bella." Alice said. I simply nodded and finished eating what I could.

I sat in Edward's room, reading a book while he sat behind me and started playing with my hair again.
"Am I distracting you?"
"No." I wasn't in the mood to talk. I just wanted to see my baby. Plus I had a major headache for whatever reason.
"Bella, you can't always be sad."
"I'm not."
"You're a terrible liar."
I didn't want to lie to Edward again, even though he'd know I was. So I was relieved when someone knocked on the door.
"Go away."
"Bella, be nicer. Come in."
Jacob appeared in the doorway. "Bella, that was awful rude. You really hurt my feelings." He say playfully and sat next to me on the floor as Edward walked downstairs. I shrugged an apology and began reading again when Jacob took the book from my hands.
"Jake, give it back. I was reading that." I was beginning to get slightly irritated. Why wouldn't people let me read? And why wasn't I aloud to just be upset for awhile?
"You can't honestly be reading this."
"Well I was." I lied. I just wanted to tell everyone I was doing something. They always wanted to do something and I always wanted to stay home. It was aggravating, having people tell me I should do something instead of just sitting here.
Jacob stood up. He seemed so much taller than normal, considering I was sitting on the floor infront of Edward's couch. He grabbed my arms and pulled me up so I was standing in front of him.
"What do you want?" I asked him.
"You have a phone call."
I could feel the shock on my face as the words soaked in. Someone wants to talk to me. I began to realize that I was now smiling.
"Bella? Earth to Bella?"
I couldn't say anything so I just waved back at him and walked down the stairs. Alice must have seen me coming as she handed me my cell phone, threw a small smile, and quickly went back to whatever she was doing. I was beginning to get annoyed. Alice was doing everything to keep me upstairs. I was so angry I forgot about the phone call until I heard someone talking on the phone.
"Bella? Bella, are you there? Hello?"
I quickly put the phone to my ear.
"Hello?"
"Bella!"
"Uh, hi." I couldn't pick out the voice but I was sure it was female.
"Bella, I was so worried! You haven't replied to my Emails in months! Plus you haven't called me!"
Oh. Now I knew who it was. Renee.
"Mom, you didn't have to be so worried."
"I guess not." She gave a small embarrassed chuckle.
We talked for hours, it felt good to talk to my mom again. Her voice reminded me of Arizona. Bright, sunshine, and hot. Alice came upstairs with a huge smile on her face and Edward standing behind her.
"Mom, I have to go. And don't worry, I'll call you more often."
"Alright."
And I hung up the phone.
"Why are you so happy?"
"Do you want to meet your daughter, Bella?" Alice asked me, still smiling.
