Alice's POV
Serena was everything Jasper had said and more, she was completely beautiful as our eyes met from across the room. As soon as she spotted me Serena wriggled around in Esme's arms, impatiently reaching towards me.
"Welcome back Alice, how are you feeling dear?" Esme questioned, trying to keep a hold on my struggling child. As she spoke Edward and Emmett moved to my flanks, anticipating my actions and reactions.
"To be honest with you Esme I feel exactly the same as I did before I got pregnant, the only thing which is weird is my eyes. They eventually fade so it's not all that bad," I smiled, yearning to walk forward and have Serena in my arms.
"Are you ready Lis? Were going to take this nice and slow, ok?" Jasper murmured, sliding in beside me, entwining our hands together as he spoke. "She's been waiting for nearly three whole days for you, we don't want her getting agitated." I watched as the corner of his mouth turned up into a cheeky grin as he and Edward exchanged the same expressions. Why? What happened when she gets agitated?
"You'll find out soon enough what she can do pixie, it's quite extraordinary to watch," Edward smiled. "Let's just get this bit over for now shall we?" I nodded and took a step forward, in time with Jasper.
I stepped slowly and controlled, proving that I could do this and that I could be with my daughter with thinking those thoughts. Every step I took Jasper was there, guiding and supporting me with every action I performed, I was glad he was here, if he wasn't I couldn't be able to do this. As I reached about an arms length away from Esme I stopped in my tracks, extending my arms slightly in a simple and clear signal to her. Esme just smiled and nodded, taking a small step, closing the gap between us and gently laying my tiny angel in my arms. She took an automatic step back, moving to stand with Carlisle to give us some much needed room. Being too cramped was annoying and very distracting, good thing us vampires weren't claustrophobic.
"Hello there gorgeous, you've got your daddy's curls," I cooed, kissing her forehead softly. As I did so her eyes lit up pretty lights in the night sky, glowing and burning with her intense cuteness. She yawned sleepily, poor thing. I laughed and kissed her tummy, causing her to explode in a fit of giggles from her tiny mouth.
As she laughed a sudden burst of wind blew open the door and whirled like a tornado around us, acting on instinct I tightened my grip on her and tried to hide her in my chest. My eyes darting around for the unseen danger. Why is it windy? What's happening? Sensing my tenseness Serena stopped laughing and placed her tiny hand on my cheek in a symbol of worry and confusion. The wind seemed to evaporate and disappear into the air around us.
I looked down at her in confusion, did Serena do that? Is my baby girl gifted with control of the elements? Was this what Edward was keeping from me?
"You figured it out Alice, Serena is gifted with the power of the five elements, Earth, Wind, Fire, Water and Spirit." Jasper smiled, lightly guiding her hand away from my cheek and into his hand. "But, she needs to learn how to control them, she summons them to herself and performs the acts. A truly remarkable talent, I've never seen anything like it in my life."
She was amazing, beautiful, talented… everything I wished for. I was lost in my happiness when something triggered in my mind, A reflex from when Renesmee was born… The Volturi…
