***Chapter 2 ***
** EDWARD'S POV **
My fingers flew across the keys playing the lullaby that I wrote for Bella so long ago, Bella sitting next to me, our lovely daughter, Renesmee, on my other side watching. I could hear Alice and Jasper coming down the stairs and I looked up as they entered the room. I didn't notice anything different at first, but I was confused as to why Alice was blocking her thoughts. She only did that if she was trying to hide something.
"What?" Bella asked me, following my gaze to Alice.
"It's nothing." I tried to assure her. "Alice is just blocking her thoughts, that's all."
"You can't read her?" Bella asked again.
"No."
"But why would she do that, daddy?" Renesmee whispered.
I turned to look at Renesmee, her brown eyes bright with excitement, her long brown hair bobbing. "I don't know, sweetheart, but it's okay." I assured, returning my attention to the keys playing a new melody that I had wrote for Nessie. I had only begun to play when I felt Nessie's hand on my cheek, and images filled my mind. Nessie was special. She could communicate with pictures if she wished. The images she showed me was of Alice, Alice's stomach, Alice and Jasper holding hands, as if asking, Why is Alice's stomach bigger? Did Jasper do something? They look happy.
I took another look at Alice, and noticed that Nessie was right. Her stomach looked bigger, but how was that possible? Vampire's bodies don't change. This didn't make any sense. I saw Alice whisper something to Jasper, and together they got up off the couch.
"We're going hunting. Anyone want to come with?" Alice chimed.
"Let's go." I told Bella and Nessie.
"Alright…" Bella agreed hesitantly, and the three of us followed Alice and Jasper into the forest.

** Alice POV **
** One Month Later **
Everyone eventually found out about the pregnancy, and naturally Rosalie was pissed. I wished I could explain to her what or how this happened, but sadly I couldn't. Carlisle and Esme were happy about it, although Carlisle continued to study the pregnancy and take notes as this had never happened before. Edward and Bella were happy for us and Renesmee was excited she would have a cousin to play with.
The pregnancy was similar to Bella's, progressing about the same rate as hers, and after a month, I gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Jasper and I named her Jasmine Alison Cullen. (Yes I spelled Alison with only one L and I did it on purpose!) .
"Why Jasmine?" Emmett asked about the name.
"Because we used the first three letters of our names to create hers…" I explained " JASper ALIce = JASmine ALIson Cullen."
She was immediately spoiled, and she grew, like Nessie. Even after a couple days she looked more like a month old infant than a newborn. Little did we know she was special…
** Rosalie's POV **
I crossed the room to where Jasmine was sitting, a full cup of blood in my hands. "Alice, I think you should feed her. I swear your daughter hates me."
"She does not hate you, Rose." Alice tried to assure me unconvincingly, not moving from the table where she was looking over a magazine. I could only assume she was planning a HUGE shopping spree for Jasmine, not like she was short on clothes or anything… Alice bought her a whole closet full of clothes. Knowing her, they would have to be the best.
"Oh really? Fine." I sulked. "I'll show you." I picked up Jasmine and placed her in my lap. I offered her the cup, and she started to cry.
"Rose. She's not crying because she hates you," Jasper started to explain walking into the room.
"Yes, I do agree." Carlisle confirmed, walking in right behind Jasper. "I think I have a theory."
I handed Jasmine to Jasper, and she quieted down and began feeding without a fuss.
"Okay. Let's hear it." I suggested, leaning back against the couch, crossing my arms in frustration.
"Well. I think that she is gifted." Carlisle started. " I think that she has the ability to sense emotions like Jasper can, and she's sensing anger from you and that makes her upset."
"That would make sense." I agreed. "Do you think she'll have visions like Alice does?"
"Only time will tell." Carlisle said before disappearing back into his study. I gazed at Jasmine who was now sleeping peacefully against Jasper's chest. I didn't understand that either, the product of two vampires that don't sleep and she actually sleeps. Even though she didn't sleep a lot, not like a normal human baby, she slept about 4 hours a day, but it decreased as she got older.
I was jealous of Alice and Jasper. Why couldn't Emmett and I have kids? I was jealous that Bella had Nessie, and now Alice had Jasmine. I would give anything to be able to have kids like them. I tried not to think about that, and instead headed out to hunt. I didn't need to hunt, but hunting got my mind off of the whole situation. God, I wish I could have a child…
** Alice POV **
I didn't know what Rosalie's problem was, but she suddenly jumped up and ran out of the house without a second thought. I gazed over at Jasmine's sleeping form resting on Jasper's shoulder. I was surprised that she slept when Jasper and I didn't sleep. Jasper handed Jasmine to me and took off with Emmett, who wanted help on his car.
When Jasmine awoke later, Bella had brought Nessie over and the two of them were playing together, while Bella and I talked about nothing in particular. All of a sudden Jasmine started to scream and cry.
"Nessie, Did you hurt your cousin?" Bella scolded.
"No, mama." Nessie defended. "We were playing and then all of a sudden she gets this blank look on her face like Auntie Alice and she started to cry."
"Did she just have a vision?" Bella asked me.
I rushed over to Jasmine and picked her up, still crying, trying to soothe her. " I don't know Bella. She could have inherited visions from me. We already know she can sense emotions like Jazz, but I suppose she could have visions too."
"That's amazing." Bella responded. " But if she did have a vision, what did she see?"
"I have no idea…. Maybe Edward would be able to see what she saw."
"It's worth a try." She said to me pulling out her cell phone and dialing Edward. She explained the situation and within a minute he was striding into the house. Jasmine was just calming down.
"Hey, Jasmine." Edward spoke to her. Her eyes studied his warily, before reaching out for him. "How are you today?" He continued, "Your mommy told me that you might have seen something that might have scared you."
She nodded, as if she understood him. She still hadn't spoken and she was about a week old. Nessie could talk at this point. Edward continued.
"Can you remember what you saw? All you have to do is try and think about what you saw and I'll be able to see it too, okay?" Again she nodded, and a blank look crossed her face as if she was remembering what she saw. It only lasted a few seconds, before she curled up against Edward beginning to cry again. Edward chuckled, and soothed her.
"What did she see?" I asked. Bella, Nessie and myself all looked at him.
"She saw a mountain lion attacking Rosalie… Rose was just hunting, that's all." Edward explained.
"So she thought that the mountain lion was going to kill Rose, and freaked. That makes sense. She doesn't understand yet that we can't die." Bella spoke to no one in particular.
"Exactly." Edward confirmed, still holding Jasmine. "Perhaps when she get's older, we could take her hunting with us."
"That sounds like a great idea." I commented. Little did I know it was sooner than I would think.
*** Two months later ***
Jasmine POV
I walked around my house, looking at everything, clutching a book in my small fingers. It was close to bedtime for me. I knew mom or dad would tuck me in soon, but I was hoping that mom or dad would read to me before going to bed. It had become a tradition, and it made me sad whenever they didn't read to me. Sometimes, uncle Edward would read to me if mom and dad couldn't.
Tonight was one of those nights. Mom and dad had gone hunting, and had left me in the care of Uncle Edward and Auntie Rose and Uncle Emmett.
"Uncle Eeward? Will you weed to me?" I asked as best as I could, my gold eyes staring hopefully at his.
"Sorry, Jas. Not right now. But you can ask Rose. I bet she will read to you." He smiled, pointing over to Rose that was sitting on the couch with Emmett. I didn't really want to ask Auntie Rose to read to me…I always got the feeling that she didn't like me. Nevertheless, I strode across the room, patting Rose's leg to get her attention.
"Auntie Wose? Will you weed to me?" I asked again, holding up the small book in my fingers. She hesitated.
"Alright, Jasmine. I will read to you." She agreed and she lifted me up onto the couch, placing me in her lap. As she began to read, I began to get more tired, yawning, rubbing my tired eyes. I leaned against her chest, my head resting on her shoulder, as I began drifting to sleep and soon Rose could hear very quiet snoring.
***
Rose didn't know what to do. Here Jasmine was asleep in her arms, and she began to feel content despite the fact that she didn't know what to do now. She debated on bringing the sleeping child up to her room, but she feared moving would wake Jasmine up. So she sat still, with Emmett, just talking quietly amongst themselves, occasionally just watching Jasmine sleep. It was during these moments that Rosalie's desire to be a mother really shined.
"You look so beautiful right now." Emmett whispered in her ear. "I love you, Rosalie."
"I love you too Emmett." She smiled. "This is so weird. Don't you feel that?"
"Feel what?"
"I feel…" She struggled for the right words. "…content…calm…peaceful…relaxed…Don't you feel it?"
"Yeah, I guess I do." He agreed, "It's nice right?"
"Definitely."
Alice and Jasper came striding into the living room, back from hunting and froze seeing Jasmine asleep in Rosalie's arms. Alice simply smiled, both totally surprised, for they had rarely seen Jasmine and Rosalie together. Rosalie's usual icy glare, and bad attitude dissolved with Jasmine sleeping in her arms. Jasper finally strode over to Rose, who surrendered Jasmine to Jasper.
"Does she always do that?" Rose asked him.
"What do you mean?" He replied, shifting Jasmine so she was slightly hung over his shoulder, her face nuzzling his neck, fussing slightly at the movement, but quickly falling back to sleep.
"Project her emotions."
"She does that all the time. Especially when she's sleeping. I think she does it subconsciously. Maybe I'm just more in tune to her. I don't really know." Jasper confessed, rubbing Jasmine's back, Alice peering at her sleeping daughter in her husband's arms.
