A/N. This chapter contains Rose's reaction to the baby, as well as a little Edward/ Bella fluff. Please enjoy. In the next chapter the Cullen's get some visitors from Italy. However, we have at least 4 or 5 more before there is some serious action, which I am dying to write. Sappiness is not my strong point. After I finish this story I don't think I will ever attempt another sappy story again.


Colorado Sunrise- 3oh!3

And if I had something to say to you I'd whisper it softly,
kiss you on your rosy lips and never let you off me.
Shiver on your roof and see your face lit by starlight,
hold you through the night and watch that Colorado sunrise.

I've got five fingers on each hand for every mistake that I've made
cuz my tongue is tied to tonsils and I need to shit and shave
I'm a shade to pale for handsome and have habits I can't shake
and if you try to take that from me well I'll never be the same

train wreck that I am
and I am what I am what I am
a train wreck, that I am
and I am what I am what I am
a train wreck

and as long as it's okay with you I think I'll stay right here.
I got no where to go cuz where to go is up to you, dear.
Happy as a clam I see the glimmer in your eyes.
Hold you through the night and watch that Colorado sunrise.

No car and never cared because I got no place to go.
But in a room, (a single wall?) I couldn't pay a plant to grow
you can try and make this pretty, pick up all my dirty clothes.
and if you never really get me then I guess you'll never know the

Train wreck that I am
and I am what I am what I am
a train wreck that I am
and I am what I am what I am
a train wreck

I've got five fingers on each hand for every mistake that I've made
cuz my tongue is tied tonsils and I need to s#!t and shave
I'm a shade to pale for handsome and have habits I can't shake
and if you try to take that from me well I wouldn't be the same


This is the Best Gift Ever

Edward's Point of View

Today is Christmas. Today just so happens to be the day when we tell Rosalie Bella is pregnant with her kid. Knowing Rose and the way Emmett and Bella have chosen to tell her, she is going to flip, and not in a good way. I told them do not under any circumstances put the ultrasound picture in frame and wrap it. Did they listen to me? No, of course not. I am just the stupid mind reading brother, who actually can't read anyone's mind anymore because the family has chosen to block me. It's so damn frustrating. To make matters worse Alice has told us that she is no longer going to tell us what she sees in her visions unless it isn't crucial to our lives. She says it is because we should live life blind like any other vampire does. The one thing she does tell us though is if Bella is in life threatening danger, if she didn't I'd have to kill me a midget.

I zone into Ryan and Emmett talking on the stairs, Ryan is bouncing up and down outside Bella's door. He wants to wake her up so he can open the video games and sporting equipment he got for Christmas. Emmett is trying to keep him from waking Bella up because of the pregnancy hormones and the fact Bella is one scary human after she vomits.

"Ryan, calm down. No one wants to deal with your mom in a bad mood right now." True that. I thought. Emmett is making sense for the first time in his life. "Here eat a crocodile."

Emmett stuffed the blood pop in Ryan's mouth almost gagging him. I was half tempted to run up there and kick Zeus's ass back to Olympus, but then I realized Emmett is a fighter and can take me out. I may be faster but if he catches me I am screwed. Ryan's fine.

I am seriously shocked the neighbor's haven't called Dr. Phil on us yet. Here I am thinking about how even though my brother shoved a sucker in my sons mouth and I am doing nothing about it. I can just imagine how that conversation will go.

"Mr. Cullen, do you feel that you are a good parent and role model for your son." The Dr. who isn't a doctor asks.

"Why yes Dr. I do. So what I feed him candy that contains animal blood, let him cuss at his uncle, let him eat nearly a half ton of organic animal meat a month, and dump him off with the senile baby sitter when my family is out draining wild predators of their life essence. I am a damn good father." Something tells me that would not fly with the Volturi.

My thoughts take a more appropriate route when I hear Bella vomiting. I rush upstairs to see if I can help.

"Bella, can I do anything for you?" I ask being the perfect husband, even though the smell is revolting and I can't help but gag. I will never understand why some human tendencies remain engraved in us.

"Ugg, no when will this end!" She screams in exasperation.

Ha, at least Alice told me that. "In a few days love. After that you will only be ill once in awhile, mainly from eating chicken noodle soup."

"Figures the one thing that is supposed to settle your stomach, makes me pray to the porcelain god. Rose best be happy I am starting to like her." I am almost glad I missed her pregnancy with Ryan at this point. If she was anything like this while pregnant with him I would be a dead man from he insane mood swings. I have never know Bella to yell about nonsensical things before, now she either cries or tries to beat the crap out of me for seemingly no reason. How the hell was I supposed to know that she has to have her purse left on the right side of her dresser, everyday? It never mattered before.

"Bella, I love you." I told her with her favorite crooked smile. Maybe it will set the day of right. I do not need Bella to lunge at Blondie and break another bone. She already cracked a toe when she tried to kick me. I still don't know what I did.

"I love you too. Hey Edward, you up for some good morning boinking?" She looked at me hopefully. How could I say no to that face?

"Sure brush your teeth and I'll be the one in bed naked." Ugg, stupid Edward, can't I say anything normal.

After some mattress mambo, we head downstairs. The rest of the family is already gathered around the living room. As we enter I get knowing looks from everyone causing me to look at my feet wishing the floor would eat me up. Bella's a screamer.

The family opens their presents in a quick and orderly fashion, purposely leaving the picture for last. I will never let Emmett live down his mistake once Rosalie opens it. Please let Rose not make Bella angry or cry. I hate it when she is anything but chipper.

"Gee, thanks guys. A blurry picture, just what I always wanted," Rose sarcastically remarked. I shot a knowing look to my wife and brother.

"Look closer Rosy," only Emmett can get away with the childish nickname for her.

She stares at the picture for another few minutes, when finally the wheels make it a full circle. "What the fuck are you guys doing? Rubbing the fact that I can't have children in my face! You guys are serious assholes! Bella I thought that once I told you my story you would be more understanding of me, but no you have to rub the fact that you are pregnant yet again, in my face."

"I'm not rubbing it in you face, Vampire Barbie. Stop being such a bitch and think about it. Why would I ever do something like that to you? I am not a vindictive bitch like you tend to be." Rule number One: Do not piss off the pregnant lady.

"Well, pathetic human what the hell is this then, what are you trying to prove?" Bella pissed Rose off too. Lovely.

"It's from me too Rose." Here comes gallant Emmett to save the day. If only he could say the right thing to keep Rose from seeing red.

"You cheated on my with Dickward's wife? How fucking dare you? Does anyone here care about me?" Now it's time for me to play mediator, do I always have to do this?

"Rosalie, no one cheated. Emmett gizzed in cup, found a proper egg donor, and we inseminated Bella. The child will look similar to you and have half of Emmett's genes. Everyone thought that this would be what you would want." I hope that was explanation enough.

"Bella, you are carrying a child for me?"

"Yes, I am Rose and stop being a bitch towards me, otherwise I with send a vampire on you, or better yet Rudi. We found out yesterday, he can actually inflict a small amount of damage." Bella is so eloquent.

"Wow." Rose said as she started to sob. Bella ran over to her and starting crying too. God it's like one big happy whine fest. Let me pour some salt water down my face and join in.

The sight, no matter how sappy made me smile. I didn't need to be Jasper to see that Rose was thrilled. I guess that's the wonder of having siblings, they make you want to wretch half the time and the half they are doing things to bring out the best in each other.

"When is the baby due? How is the pregnancy going? Bella are you eating enough? Taking your vitamins? If not so help me I will kick your brunette tush into next year if you aren't taking care of my spawn right." I can see already that Rose is going to take on my role of Bella protection. I have a feeling Bella is going to hate her constant scrutiny more then mine.

Rose and Bella have some girl time while I drag Emmett outside by his collar. He deserves and I told you so. "What did I tell you Emmett? You should have done it the way I told you too, and then we could have avoided a lot of screaming. Didn't you see Jasper; he was trying not to rip the couch apart. Please, listen to me next time and hopefully we will avoid another disaster."

"Sorry Edward. I'll be a good boy and listen to you next time." Damn skippy you will big boy.


Rosalie's Point of View

I can't believe I reacted like that! I was so stupid! Bella would never do that do me, and Emmett would never cheat on me. I feel like such a bitch! At least Bella understood. The poor girl even apologized to me for insulting me. I see why Edward loves her, she is kind hearted and generally amazing.

"Rosalie," Jasper addressed me, "would you like to feel what Bella feels throughout her pregnancy? I can project her emotions onto you constantly so that it will feel like you are pregnant too."

That would be amazing! "Jasper if you can do that I would be ecstatic. Please, then the baby will feel more like my own!" I replied.

Immediately I was overcome with a craving for steak and mild irritation. I think I was irritated at Edward for forgetting to put my purse on the proper side of my dresser. OOO this was going to be fun. Now, I can yell at Edward and not face any repercussions. Ha, that will put the smug bastard in his place.

I hope Bella doesn't mind me being her personal stalker for the next six months. I will not let her out of my sight unless she is sleeping or using the toilet. Hell, I will even hold her hair back when she is overcome with a bought of morning sickness. Well I won't be with her every second because I still have to hunt. Edward better watch her and my kid while I am draining animals like a fucking hawk.

My emotions suddenly changed from hunger and irritation to self-consciousness. That was something new. I heard Bella talking to Alice and couldn't help but listen in. "I am getting so fat, I can't even fit into the clothes I just bought and it's only the third month! Rose better be thankful I am sacrificing my body for her."

I smiled and realized how amazing this girl truly is. I can already feel my angry shell melting and I am finally turning into a Cullen.


End Notes- I think I might write the rest of the story in Edward's point of view with the exception of a few chapters. For some reason I just clicked with him. It's probably because he internalizes everything and keeps his improper thoughts to himself. I will post the next chapter Saturday, I was going to post it Friday but I will be no where near a computer.
