This chapter is pretty short, but I'll explain in a minute.
EPOV
My love came up the walkway absolutely glowing.
"Mommy! Come here. Daddy told you you were gwowing."
"Is that so daddy?"
"Umm… yes. But you look absolutely gorgeous."
"Well, you forgot you have to keep thoughts like those on the down low. We don't want to set a bad example for a girl whose parents corrupt her innocence every day."
"So angel, what did aunt Alice and you do all day?"
"She painted the walls in the baby's nursery. I helped her dry it."
"Bella, Alice has everything packed. Now which car are we taking?"
"I thought we were flying to Jacksonville and Rosalie would take two cars and let us have one."
"They are, and we are, but we have to get to the airport somehow. So which car would you like?"
"Umm… how about your Volvo? We haven't ridden in it for a while."
"Okay, but Alice is going to drive us there because it has to make it home somehow."
"Bella, you will ride in the front. Edward, you'll sit in the back with Elizabeth. Now everyone get in."
I slid into the back and put all of Elizabeth's seat belts on. Who knew car seats could be that much trouble?
"Edward, do you need some help?"
"No thank you Bella. I'll get it."
"Edward, if you need help it isn't a big deal."
"Yes, got it."
Edward, how hard would it have been to just let Bella help? She really worries about you. And by the way, if you two don't stop the immense waves of sexual frustration, Jasper and I will kill you personally. And if I hear you two having sex in the beach house, I'm going to demand for Bella not to have sex with you until the baby is born. Got it?
"Yes Alice." I rolled my eyes. Bella and I could be quiet… couldn't we? The whole way to the airport I was answering non-stop questions from Elizabeth, while trying to understand what Bella and Alice were talking about. All I heard were snippets of the conversation that didn't amount to much.
"If I hear…celibacy…till that thing right…leaves your…and you better promise."
"Yes Alice, I understand."
"Daddy, why don't you and mommy like duh sun?"
"Sweetie, we can't be out in the sun. We're scared of what it may do to you too."
"Daddy, why dose evwybody keep saywing I'm a vampwire?"
"Well sweetie… do you really want to know?"
"Yes daddy."
I got a warning death glare glance from Bella, but Alice just kept reassuring me it was the right thing to do.
"Well sweetie, when mommy and I got married… we um… Alice help me out here!"
"Um… Elizabeth. When two people fall in love, they decide they want to take their love farther. So they call up the…stork and they-"
"They tell him or her that they want to have a precious little baby. And it just so happens that they can take some of the things from the mommy and daddy so they won't suspect it. Then the stork puts the baby in the mommy's belly for a while and the baby comes out. Now, daddy's half of the baby was a vampire. Mommy's wasn't. So, little Elizabeth Renée Cullen is half vampire. Does that answer your question baby?"
"Yes daddy, but daddy what is sex?"
My jaw dropped open what seemed like ten feet. Bella went livid.
"Edward Anthony Masen Cullen! I told you to keep your thoughts under better control!"
"I'm sorry, I thought I was being a little more careful. And I didn't realize she was reading my mind."
"Edward, you will not be receiving any action on the beach in Jacksonville. None, no kissing, no nothing until we leave for the beach house."
"But Bella…"
"No buts Edward, now you're going to have to explain to her the meaning of the exact word I was trying to steer clear of."
"Okay, Elizabeth… when two people fall in love they decide that just each other isn't enough and they go through something called sex. It is when a mommy and a daddy like each other so much they can't keep off of each other. And when that happens they can possibly make a baby. And well, I am a vampire so when mommy and I sex… you were born. And since mommy was still human you only came out as a half-vampire. Your new sibling we are unsure about because mommy and I both are vampires now."
I realized she had fallen asleep sometime in there and I mentally thanked the heavens for a one-year-olds short attention span.
"Edward, please, I beg of you… do not think about that kind of stuff with our daughter still in the car."
"Yes Bella, I promise it won't happen again."
That was one of the most awkward conversations I've ever had. It even tops Carlisle giving me the vampire's version of 'the talk'.
We pulled up to the airport around that time and I unbuckled my sleeping angel and she curled up in my arms.
Okay, so how was that for awkward and funny? Well the end was sweet, in my opinion at least. Anyway, I'm going back to school tomorrow so no more everyday updates. And I would like to forwarn everyone in advance. I'm a very advanced student and I do a bunch of extra-curricular activities in the spring. In a little while I'm going to start a bunch of chorus stuff and in February softball season at school starts up. So, what I'm saying is from about middle of February until the very beggining of May I'll be swamped with schoolwork, chorus, and softball. So when that time comes, updates may be a little more rare. Now on a higher note, if I hurry now I'll have an update by tomorrow night! And that note is just a warning, for now it is still a few weeks away.
Edward's ONLY True Love ;-)
