Right, new chapter. sorry it had taken me a while to update, but ive been really busy. Im quite proud of my myself, I have been able to finish this chapter for you, and I have been able to get some revision in for my exam next week.
I don't own any of the Twilight characters in this story. They All belong to SM. Hope you enjoy this chapter, I have tried to take all your thoughts into consideration when writing this.
Bella's POV
I woke up and found that I was still in Naomi's bed. I looked over at the clock that was on Naomi's bed side table it was 2 in the morning. Damn I needed to pee. At the moment the baby was pressed against my bladder in a very uncomfortable position. I moved Naomi off my shoulder and placed her head back on the pillow. She stirred a little when I moved her, but she was fast asleep again by the time that her head hit the pillow. I pulled the covers over her body and left her room.
I closed the door quietly so not to wake her up.
I walked down the corridor to Edward room. As I walked down the corridor, I would hear voices down stairs. I stood and listened to the people talking, and realised that there were some voices that I didn't recognise. Then I remembered that Carlisle said that Tanya may be coming here tonight.
I didn't have the energy to face them tonight, so I decided to go back to bed and go down and see everyone in the morning.
I carried on walking down the corridor until I reached Edwards room. After going to the toilet, I went back to bed.
Just as I was starting to get comfy, I heard the door opening. I looked up to see Edward standing in the door way.
"I heard you getting up." He said as he walked over to the bed. He sat next to me and I curled up against his chest.
"I think everyone heard me, since this is a house full of vampires." I said. I could feel myself falling back to sleep against his chest.
We sat in silence for a few moments. Yet again, I was just on the verge of sleep before Edward started to talk again.
"Bella, I think I should let you know that Tanya has arrived earlier than we expected her to be. She is downstairs right now." He said calmly. He was obviously trying not to wind me up. But I was too tired to be annoyed or bothered that Tanya was here. I just wanted to go back to sleep.
"Yeah, I kind of heard you all downstairs. Just because I'm human, doesn't mean I can't hear you." I whispered. I had fallen asleep by the time that I had finished my sentence.
Edwards POV
I had been downstairs with Tanya and her coven for the majority of the evening, but once I heard Bella moving around upstairs I took that opportunity to leave the room.
Its not that I didn't like Tanya, it was just that she was a lot to handle. She still had feelings for me so that made it awkward being around her for long periods of time.
I knew that Bella knew about Tanya's feelings towards me, which is the reason that Bella has been anxious to meet Tanya out of the way.
I sat with Bella for a while until I knew that she was asleep. I sat and listened to her sleep talking, she was muttering something about Naomi. This didn't surprise me one bit, ever since she moved in here, has been talking about Naomi in her sleep a lot.
After she had finished talking, I sat with her for about a hour and wanting to be sure that she was fast asleep before I left her again. I removed my arm that was over her shoulder very carefully so not to wake her and then I started to get up off the bed. I noticed that every move I made that pit my further away from her, her heartbeat would go up. It took me about 20 minutes just to get from the bed to the door way when I was happy that Bella wasn't going to wake up in a blind panic.
I went back down stairs to find everyone sitting and talking in the living room where I left them a few hours ago.
I sat on the sofa next to Tanya.
We sat and talked for hours about what we had been up to since the last time that we saw each other.
As the morning went on, people started to drift out of the house until it was just me and Tanya left sitting and talking.
"So, did you ever find Bella again?" she asked me. I hoped that the subject of Bella wasn't going to come up, but I wasn't going to lie to her about it. I was so happy that things had worked out again between me and Bella.
"Yes I did find her. Actually she is upstairs sleeping right now" I said very casually.
She looked back at me as if she was shocked.
"Oh, so she forgave you and took you back." She said, changing her position on the sofa so that she was facing me more now.
"Yes she did. But I will never forgive myself for doing that to her and I will be making it up to her forever." I said honestly.
Yet again, we sat in silence for a few moments and then Tanya started to giggle. I looked at her and listened to what she was thinking.
I don't understand what he see's in her. I mean really, she is human and she isn't exactly the prettiest person in the world.
I stopped listening before I would hear something that I didn't want to hear.
"Why do you care Tanya? I'm with Bella because I love her. stay out of it!" I said sternly.
She moved closer to me, it was getting a little uncomfortable now.
"I was just wondering what you see in her. I mean she is human for one thing. How can you be so obsessed about something that naturally you should kill, its not natural Edward." she told me.
"Tanya, we tried being apart and it didn't work for either of us. I can't live with out her and she can't live without me. It's as simple as that" I did start to get up from the sofa, but Tanya grabbed my wrist and pulled me back down onto the sofa.
"You never tried living without her. You just left and moped around waiting to get over her. There are other options apart from her Edward. You could do so much better." She was all but whispering as she finished talking. I could feel her hand moving from my wrist, up my arm until she was resting it on my chest. She was bringing her head closer to mine, her lips were only inches from mine and before I could say another word to her, she gently placed her lips on mine, it was only a second before I pulled away, but someone else beat me to a reaction. Just as I pulled away I heard someone clear their throat behind me
Bella's POV
"Ahhhh" I woke up suddenly. I looked over at the clock it was only 5.30 in the morning. I had only been asleep for about 3 hours. I had had a really bad dream which is what caused me to wake up so suddenly. I hadn't really been having nightmares anymore, well not like the ones I had when I was younger. But ever since I had moved back with the Cullen's, there was one person that crept back into my thoughts and haunted me in my sleep. Victoria. Ever since the whole thing with Edward killing James, I knew that she wasn't going to give up looking for me. I had never really thought about what would happen if she found me, but now that I had Naomi and the new baby, that gave me something else to worry about.
I decided to get up as I wouldn't be able to get to sleep at this time in the morning. I also knew that it wouldn't be long before Naomi got up so I thought I would just go downstairs.
Then I remembered that Edward told me that Tanya had arrived last night so that meant that she was downstairs.
I decided that I was going to have to face them sooner or later. I got up from bed and walked into the bathroom to freshen up.
Once I was done, I decided to go downstairs. I grabbed my dressing gown from behind the door and put it on. I tied the belt on there just above my stomach so that my baby bump was very visible.
I walked down the stairs and went to go into the living room, I started to open the door to the living room, but stopped when I could see what was happening.
Tanya and Edward were sitting on the sofa. She was whispering something to him. I didn't know what she was saying because she was talking to quietly. I took in a deep breath trying to calm down. I wasn't a jealous person, but when I saw that bitch anywhere near Edward, I just wanted to rip her head off. And then she moved her head closer and closer to Edwards and then she kissed him.
I opened the door and cleared my throat and started daggers at Tanya.
"Oh, I'm sorry, was I interrupting something?" I asked sarcastically.
Tanya just looked at me as if I was stupid. Edward was at my side now.
"Yes you were actually." She said. I think she was going to say something else after that but I was too angry to listen. I moved forwards towards her, but Edward had stopped me by putting his arms around me just above my stomach.
"Bella, this isn't good for the baby if you are this stressed out. Calm down. Please" he asked me. He kissed me quickly on the check before loosening his grip on me.
"Baby. You think that that's yours. Edward, you know perfectly well that vampires cant have children. She is lying to you Edward." Tanya said. She was almost purring when she said this.
Was she being serious. I couldn't believe it, she was just making stuff up now.
"No Tanya. Vampire women cant have children. Vampire men on the other hand are perfectly capable of fathering a child. And here's the bump to prove it." I said pointing to my very noticeable baby bump now.
Tanya looked me up and down. It looked like she was going to say something else, but she didn't.
Edward had let go of me completely now so I was free to move around. I walked to wards her so that I was only inches from her face.
"You stay away from him Tanya. Stop acting like a spoilt child, trying to get something that you will never have. Live with it." I turned around to walk back to Edward. I hadn't noticed that Everyone else had gathered in the joining rooms and were watching while me and Tanya argued.
As I turned to walk back to Edward, Tanya hissed at me. Which caused Edward to growl. Then that started a whole vampire argument which consisted of growls and hisses.
"Daddy?"
When Naomi called everyone went quiet. Me and Edward walked out the door to see Naomi standing on the stairs rubbing her eyes. She had obviously just woken up.
Edward went up to her and picked her up.
"Morning beautiful. How did you sleep?" he asked as he walked back down the stairs.
"Fine. Mommy was in my bed when I went to sleep. Where did you go Mommy?" she asked looking at me.
"I went back into my room sweetie, I wasn't far." Edward put her down and she came towards me and hugged me. I picked her up and kissed the top of her head.
I walked into the living room with Naomi on my hip.
"Everyone, this is our daughter, Naomi. Say hello Naomi." I said to her.
"Hello." She said giving a little wave.
"Awww, she it too cute Bella. But how is it even possible. I mean, vampire, human. Not really a good mix when it comes around to having kids." Kate said. I liked her, she was so understanding. Actually I didn't have a problem with any of the other members of Tanya's coven, It was just her.
"Thanks Kate." I didn't know what to say. What do you say when a vampire says your child is cute?
"Mommy, I'm hungry." Naomi said to me.
I took her into the kitchen and made her some breakfast. I put some bread into the toaster and made her toast. Once I had made her breakfast, I had remembered that Carlisle and Esme were taking Naomi out today. I still didn't know where they were taking her. Oh well I knew that she would be safe with them, but I still had to tell her that she was going out today.
"Naomi, Grandma and Grandpa are taking out you out to day, while mommy and daddy talk to daddies friends." Well I think friends is to strong a word for Tanya.
Esme then came into the kitchen.
" Morning Bella. Did Carlisle ask you if we could take Naomi out today?" she asked me.
"Yes he did. She hasn't had that much time to spend time with you." I said, smiling at her.
"That's what we thought. And we both have today off so we thought we would spend time with her" she said.
She walked over to me and whispered.
"Plus we need to get something for her birthday" she whispered in my ear.
"Oh Esme, Please don't spend to much. I think she is just happy that she has people she loves around her" I said.
"Bella, it isn't everyday that we get to celebrate birthdays in this house. Let everyone enjoy the fact that they have an excuse to spoil Naomi" she said as she walked around me towards Naomi. She had just finished her breakfast.
"Come on Naomi, lets get you dressed. You are coming with me and grandpa today." she smiled as she took Naomi's hand and lead her up stairs. I went over to the sink to do the dishes from Breakfast before going up stairs myself.
I walked past Tanya and Kate who were sitting on the sofa. Kate smiled at me as I walked past, but Tanya didn't move.
Looks like she got the message. I thought to myself as I walked up the stairs.
When I got upstairs I went straight into Edwards room. I found Edward lying on the bed with headphones in while he was listening to music. When he saw me Entre the room he took the earphones out.
He opened his arms inviting me in for a hug. I walked over to him and lay next to him as he wrapped his arms around me.
"Bella. I'm sorry about Tanya earlier, I should have seen that she was going to try something like this. She knows that you are the only women in my life and she cant see why I choose you over her. She is a very jealous person." She said as he kissed my hair.
I knew that he loved me and I knew that I was the only women in his life, but Tanya's actions today had made me feel so insignificant. I mean, I was a human facing a vampire. In any situation, the human was going to loose. But I knew that Edwards feelings towards Tanya were only the feelings that you have for friends.
"Can we just stay in here today. I'm still pretty tired after being up early and I just want to be somewhere comfy if I fall asleep." I said.
"yeah, sure that's fine with me. Do you want me to go grab a few films and you can have a day in bed." He asked. He bent down and kissed me. I knew it wasn't suppose to be a passionate kiss, but my body had other ideas. My hands wound into his bronze hair while his hands moved down my side until he stopped at my hip. He pulled away all to soon.
He then left the room to go get a few films.
The reason that I had asked if we could stay in his room all day was to make sure that Tanya wasn't going to get another chance to be with him alone. I wasn't going to give her another opportunity to get her claws into Edward again.
*** *** **** *** *** *** *** ** **** *** *** ** ** ** *** ** *** ** ** ** *** ** ** ** * ** ** * **
The day flew by when I was with Edward. we had watched film's, he had watched me sleep, Alice had brought me breakfast in bed at lunch time and I hadn't seen Tanya all day. I was very happy.
It wasn't until about half 4 when Naomi came back from her day out with Carlisle and Esme.
"Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!" she shouted when she came in through the door.
"Upstairs Naomi." I shouted back. It didn't take her long to come into the bed room and jump on the bed.
"Look what Grandma and Grandpa got me." She said as she jumped on the bed. She was obviously ecstatic about something but I didn't know what.
"Well if you stop jumping around, maybe you can show me." I said gesturing for her to calm down.
She stopped jumping immediately and sat down on her knees on the bed. She pulled back her hair so that we were able to see her ears.
I gasped in shock by what I was in her ears.
Everyone in the Cullen family had a piece of clothing or jewellery that had the Cullen's crest on it. Rose and Alice had necklaces, Esme had a bracelet, Carlisle had a ring and all the boys had sweat bands with the crest sewn onto it.
I looked at Naomi's ears and saw that she had to black oval ear rings with the crest emblazed with silver on them. I was so happy that I wanted to cry. Hell, I did cry.
I looked at her ears closer to make sure that I wasn't seeing things.
"I hope you said thank you for these." I told her.
She nodded her head.
"They said that these are for my birthday, but I can wear them now as it is my birthday tomorrow" she said.
Just then Emmett and Jasper burst in through the door.
"Hey, if Carlisle and Esme are allowed to give her, her presents now then I think me and Jasper should be allowed to." Emmett whined at me as he came and sat on the end of the bed.
"Emmett, he birthday isn't till tomorrow. Cant you wait until then?" I asked.
"No, because I know she is really going to love what we bought her. Please Bells" he put his hands together and gave me the puppy dog eyes that he knew I couldn't resist.
"Arrrg fine. Do what you want" I said finally giving up with him.
He raced out of the room and then came back in with a large red box with a blue bow on it. Jasper hadn't moved since he came in with Emmett. He just stood there smiling.
"Happy birthday Naomi. Now this is from Me, Jazz, Rose and Alice. Thought we would all chip in" he said with a smile on his face as he handed her the box.
She untied the ribbon and pulled off the lid of the box.
And jumped out was the cutest Labrador puppy that you have ever seen in your life.
"You bought her a puppy?" I asked, still not taking my eyes off the little dog.
"Yes, you said nothing big so we bought something small." He pointed to the puppy that was now in Naomi's lap, licking her face.
"Well, I was talking about a piece of jewellery or something, but Carlisle and Esme beat you to that." I said.
"What did grandma and grandpa get you Naomi?" jasper asked, speaking for the first time since he came into the room.
She put the puppy down and ran over to jasper. He picked her up as she showed him her new ear rings
Jasper smiled.
"You are officially part of the family now" he said as he kissed her on the head.
She went to show Emmett as well and he did the same thing, except Emmett swung her around in a circle. He put her back down on the floor and she swayed a little from the dizziness.
We all sat and played with the new puppy for a little while and then Carlisle and Esme came in through the door.
As soon as I saw them, I went over and hugged them both.
"Thank you for the ear rings that you got for Naomi, she loves them." I said smiling at them.
" We thought you would like it. When we were out we got you something too." Esme said. She did have one of her hands around her back. When she brought her hand forward, she was holding a little velvet box. She gave it to me.
I looked at the box a not knowing what they had bought.
"Open it" she urged.
I took the lid of the box between my fingers and opened it. Inside the box was a silver charm bracelet with small charms on it. But the one that caught your eye was the biggest one. It was the same shape as Naomi's ear rings just a lot bigger. I turned it over in my hand and looked at it. Just like Naomi's, on the black background was the Cullen's crest in silver. Before I know what was happening, I was hugging them both again, and yet again I was crying. Stupid hormones.
"We know technically that you and Naomi are Swan, but you have always been part of this family so we thought we would make it official." Carlisle said while smiling at me.
I took the little bracelet out of the box and put it around my wrist and fastened it.
"Thank you" I said through my tears. I hugged them again and went back over to sit next to Edward. He looked at the bracelet on my wrist and smiled.
"Now you are both officially part of this family" he said as he kissed my hand.
I couldn't be happier than I was in this moment. I had my whole family around me. And it wouldn't be long before there would be a new addition to the family that I loved so much.
Awwwww, that was sweet. I asked my friends about the birthday present that Carlisle and Emse gave to Naomi and they thought I was a good idea. And I thought it would be sweet so I put it in.
Wait till you see what they buy for the new baby. Anyway, I'm going to love you and leave you now. The next chapter will be up as soon as I have finished it, it may take me about a week again.
