Chapter Eight
"What are we going to name her?" I ask.
"Darci Rose Alice Cullen."
Bella's POV
"Darci Rose, Darci for short...I like it..." Edward says.
"Let me take a shower then we can show everyone Darci." I say to Carlisle and Edward.
"Okay." Edward kisses me full on the lips and takes Darci. I run to the bathroom and take a quick shower and get dressed in one of the new outfits that Alice and Rose bought me.
"Okay I'm ready." I say taking Darci back.
"Wow, a new record." Edward says kissing Darci's forehead and then my lips.
"Okay. Everyone see the new baby in the living room." I say. I know they can heard me so I don't talk over a normal voice.
Edward and I walk down the stairs and walk into the living room, seeing everyone on the edge of their seats. Even the guys. "This is Darci Rose Alice Cullen. Darci for short, Darci Rose is her first name. Rose is for Rosalie, and Alice is for Alice." I say simply.
"Thank you for naming her sort of after me." Rose says standing up and walking over to Darci. "Oh aren't you a cute little baby." She coos at her.
"Hi." Darci mumbles back.
"She can talk? She's only like a couple minutes old!" Alice says walking over and looks down at her in amazement.
"Alice, Rose." She mumbles again.
"Oh she's so cute!" Esme says to her and me.
"Grandma."
"Oh I think I'm going to faint." Esme says.
"Since she's half vampire she'll grow up fast in the mental and physical states so...Bella you'll have to tell Charlie you're a vampire." Carlisle says, taking me aback.
"Okay well Edward, do you want to go tell him now? Or later? I have no idea what we should do. If we don't tell him now he'll wonder how Darci's growing so fast..." I trail off, thinking about his reaction.
"Honey! Everything's going to be okay! He'll understand. Let's go now. And let's bring Darci with us. We'll have to tall him about the Aro thing. And about how we won't be here for awhile..." He says, I think to try and reassure me...
"Okay, let's go." We head out to the Volvo, since we have the car seat in it already.
The drive to Charlie's was quiet and short...I sat in back with Darci and Edward drove...well that's a no brain-er...
"Dad? Would you like to see your grand-daughter?" I called through the door.
He opened the door immediately, eager to see her.
"Come on it. Oh my she's so cute!" He says opening the door wider. "When was she born?"
"Today..." I say trailing off again.
"How...?"
"We have something to tell you."
"What...?"
"Dad? Why don't you sit down?"
"Why do I need to sit down?" He asks puzzled, but then he sits.
"Go on." Edward nudges me.
"Okay." I say taking a deep breath. "Dad, this is Darci Rose Alice Cullen." I chicken out.
"Bella? That's not what you need to tell him." Edward whispers in my ear. He squeezes my forearm gently.
"Fine. Dad the Cullens', Darci, Edward, and I are..."
"Are what?"
"Vampires."
