Alice POV

I've never needed Japser so badly in my life.

I suddenly felt the weight of his absence crushing me like a million bricks. Jasper should be here with me, telling me right from wrong. He should be here supporting me, making sure I didn't fail my family or this child that has been thrust in my hands, figuratively.

Baby.

I glanced over at the small little thing in Edward's arms. Edward was quietly murmuring to it, telling it that it shouldn't be afraid, that we were its family now, that we didn't eat people and blood could be found in the form of animals. Its too-intelligent eyes were hanging onto its every word like it could already understand him.

"She can," Edward said, quietly to me.

"She?" I asked.

He didn't respond, and only glanced down at the innocent little creature in his arms. Something on Edward's faced changed as he looked at her. It was transporting him back to a darker time in his life, a time where he almost lost his Bella.

"Yes," he answered my thoughts, "I was thinking of precisely that. The woman's body looks almost exactly like Bella's after she gave birth to Nessie." He shuddered.

I looked over at the body where Carlisle was tending to. Carlisle was wrapping her small frame in the woolen blanket with a grim look on his face. Her small features seems to be marred in a permanent expression of pain and suffering.

Yet there was something entirely different about her eyes. Her deep, dark eyes seemed to hold an entire meaning all together. Deep within her eyes, so masked that one couldn't see it without looking closely, was the expression of victory. Pure, unadulterated victory, as triumphant as I had ever seen in a person. She had sacrificed her life bravely in front of the throws of a monster, only to thrust her...angel at me. She believed I could give it a chance.

Did she not know my nature?

Even now, I struggled with the scent of blood that was potruding off her body. I had not fed, and I attributed the sight I saw as my restraint. Only that sight, the sight I just witnessed, could make a hungry vampire freeze in his or her tracks.

What would I do with a baby? Would I be able to provide for it? Would I live up to the expectations of its mother? I felt unworthy to do such things for this child, since her mother seemed to look like she was handing me over her life's hopes and dreams. Maybe she was.

But there was something in the expression in her eyes, so righteous and ringing with truth, that it made me feel honored that she chose to love her baby.

My baby.

"I need Jasper," I whispered to my brother. He looked at me with understanding before pulling out his cell phone to dial my husband.

"Jasper," Edward began, running a hand through his untidy bronze hair, "Get down here. Alice needs you," he said shortly, and then hung up the phone. He pushed it back into his jeans, and walked over to where I was still sunken into the snow.

"Alice, are you sure about this?" he asked worriedly. No doubt he had listened to my inner monologue. "This is kind of a big deal. I can...Bella and I, we can take her in, if you would prefer." He placed a hand on my shoulder and looked at me in my eyes. I met his with a conviction I had never known before.

Her baby- my baby- would be cared for like no other baby before her. I would shower her with as much love and care as I could muster out of my body. I would drag her on endless shopping sprees, and I would be there for her through every injury and ailment, whether it be a scraped knee or a broken heart. I would be a protective yet understanding mother, with a loving father. She would have a family that would be there for her through everything that she did, and would support her through every decision she made. No matter what her life held for her, no matter what powers she possessed or who she loved, I knew one thing- I would love her until the day I became a pile of ashes.

"I see," Edward said gruffly. "Well, then I would be honored to have such a special...and loved niece."

He offered me the baby, which I automatically cradled to my heart. I could feel her little tummy rumbling with hunger, since she had not had anything to eat since her little...meal when she emerged into this world. Her dark hair, much like her previous mother's, was wavy and thick. It was already down to her shoulders.

Her too-intelligent eyes, dark blue and brilliant like sapphires, looked into my ever-changing golden ones. They seemed to go straight into my soul.

So rarely do we change, but I already loved her so entirely that I could barely contain it. I knew she was already the most perfect thing I had ever laid eyes on, this tiny little angel that seemed to grace every presence she existed in.

By the look on Edward's face, I knew he too already loved her.

Japser emerged out of the foliage at this moment, and suddenly I ached for his presence to be at my side. I whipped my head around to see that his eyes were transfixed on the perfect little being I held in my hands.

He gracefully walked over to my side, his face filled with awe as he took in the other most perfect thing in my life.

"Darlin', you should feel what's coming off of you right now," he whispered, and dropped down on his knees at my side.

I smiled at him. It was a small smile, but filled with hope. "I love her."

His golden eyes met mine. "I know," he whispered, and returned my smile.

He looked down at his new daughter. I watched him carefully as his face changed. It began with an amazed awe, and then slowly transformed into something that I alone had only seen on his face- love.

"Can I?" he asked softly, and reached out his arms. I immediately offered him my most precious parcel, knowing that next to me, was now his too.

"Well, hello little angel. Welcome to this world," he said, slowly running his hand through his daughter's hair. He reached down to press his cold lips against her hot forehead. Her little heartbeat fluttered as she reached up to touch the cresent scar on Jasper's eyebrow.

"Oh, don't worry about that, darlin'," he whispered, "I've seen real evil in this world, don't you worry. In fact, I wasn't so good once. But I can assure you that you and your mother are two of the purest creatures I've ever met. If anyone tells you otherwise, just look at what's in here," he placed a finger on her heart, "and you'll never go wrong."

Her little eyelids fluttered as she closed her eyes, a small smile on her perfect lips.

My heart expanded, but not at all in a painful way. There was no doubt in my mind that she would be the most loved baby on the planet, even if she didn't have a name.

"Jazz, what do we call her?" I asked.

His eyes seemed to become confused. "I have no clue. What's fitting?"

I pursed my lips and looked down at her. She was small, precious, and pure. She was an angel. How could you put a name on something so perfect?

I trailed my fingers across her forehead, at the same time I heard Edward let out a sharp gasp.

I snapped my head to his direction. His eyes did not seem to register the menacing glare that Jasper was giving him as his eyes bored into my baby.

"What's wrong?" I asked worriedly, glancing down at her.

He shook his head and walked over to her small body. I tensed as he dropped to his knees as well. "Her...her gift," he whispered.

"Gift?" Jasper asked.

"If only you could see her mind right now," he said, "Like mother, like daughter." He looked up at me, giving me a signature crooked smile.

I cocked my eyebrow.

"Her gift. She can see visions of the future, but through her dreams. Right now, she's dreaming of the name you will give her. It's clear in her mind. And also, she loves you too. Already. Right now, she can see Jasper and Emmett wrestling, and she is on...um, well, she's on someone's lap." His voice became confused.

"You can't see?" Jasper asked.

"No, I can, that part's just a little unclear. I think it has to do with the fact that she's so young, but I think it's outstanding that she can already read this far ahead without ever seeing Emmett's face." He reached out to touch his niece's forehead.

My little angel, so gifted already. I smiled. Like mother, like daughter.

"What's the name we give her?" Jasper asked.

Edward smiled. "Oh, I think I'll leave that up to you to figure out. By the way, it's a nice name, Alice. I wouldn't have thought of it. It's very fitting though," Edward winked, and stood up. I groaned a little bit.

"Pretty please?" I asked, jutting my lip out a little bit. He just laughed.

"Nope, little sis. It's part of the big brother duty, to be annoying and all." He smiled and looked back into the trees. "Carlisle needs me. I have to explain to the others what's going on. See you." And with that, he darted into the trees.

Jasper sighed. "He can be so aggravating sometimes."

I giggled, and then looked down at my baby. She did not stir, although the cold must have been bothering her. She was still naked, and sleeping in a vampire's icy arms. There was no way she could be warm.

"Jasper, give me your sweater," I told him, and he took off his navy blue sweater to reveal his naked chest. He handed me it.

I wrapped her warm body in her father's sweater, and smiled in delight as she snuggled closer into my arms. Out of impulse, I pressed my lips to her forehead.

She smelled like lavendar and musk. It was sweet, yet mysterious and enticing. But when I pulled back, there was nothing mysterious about her face. She was so peaceful. My little angel, so good and pure and true.

What would be a name fitting for her? I went through every name I knew, in every language, sifting through every meaning. Every single time I tried to go farther, it would end up falling short. I tried using my power, but my decision was not concrete enough, and since my baby was a hybrid, I was having trouble seeing her as it was.

I sighed. My little angel, nameless.

I started going through legends. I contemplated naming her after a Greek goddess, but felt that she would feel like she was trying to live up to the myth. Besides, Greek goddesses were not as pure as she was.

After awhile of thinking and brainstorming, I was suddenly graced with a perfect name. A name so fitting it seemed like it had been made for her. It hit me like a ton of bricks, and I knew that it would never have a being that could wear that name so perfectly again.

"Seraphina."

"What?" Jasper asked.

I looked up at him with a grin on my face. "Seraphina. Have you ever heard of a seraphim?"

He shook his head.

"A seraphim is a baby angel. It's the purest angel in heaven."

He looked down at his own baby angel. "It's perfect."

"Seraphina." I looked down at my daughter. How could anything like her be anything short of an angel?

"What about middle names?" Jasper asked.

I pursed my lips, but I was coming up short again. Naming babies was hard work! How did Bella ever come up with Renesmee?

"I have no clue," I told him honestly, and looked up at him with a sheepish expression. He kissed my forehead.

"Marie," he responded.

"Marie?" I asked, confused. Bella's middle name was Marie. Were we starting a trend?

"It's your real first name, in French. Seraphina Marie. Two of the purest creatures I know."

I kissed him on the lips. "You're too good."

He shook his head. "Not before I met you. You made me what I am, and now, this little angel will continue to change me to something even better."

We both looked down at our saving grace. I said, "Seraphina Marie Cullen-Whitlock, welcome to this world."

Jasper POV

We took our time heading back to the house. Alice was now holding Seraphina Marie Cullen-Whitlock in her arms, staring at her wonderously. I watched as Alice ran her fingers through her daughter's hair, kiss her forhead, and mumur sweet words to her sleeping figure. The emotion radiating off my love was exponential.

"We'll be okay, Jasper?" she asked suddenly, looking over at me. She seemed frightened.

I ducked to kiss the top of her head. "I know we will."

We arrived back at the house. Carefully, not to jostle her, we did a small, graceful leap through the air and absorbed the impact on the balls of our feet to not wake Seraphina. She didn't ever stir.

Six vampires waited for us on the front steps.

The first one over was Rosalie. She looked insanely...jealous.

"Alice, are you sure you can handle a baby?" she asked warily, placing a hand on Alice's shoulder.

Her features scrunched up. "Of course we can. I love her so much already it's ridiculous. Her old mother wanted me to take her, and so I did. Now...I'm a mom." With this, Seraphina was starting to stir.

Suddenly, we had an audience. My family was standing around us, watching the event unfold. Seraphina opened her dark blue eyes and took in all the members of her new family.

Esme gasped. "Oh, she's precious! Can I hold her?" she pleaded, looking into my eyes and jutting her lip.

I chuckled. "Of course you can, Ma. She is your granddaughter."

Esme squealed in delight as Alice passed her Seraphina with a smile on her face. Seraphina twisted around in the sweater to get a clear look of her new grandmother.

If Esme could cry, she would be. Seraphina grinned at her, and pressed her palm to her face. Nothing happened, unlike what happened with Renesmee, but they just didn't know her power yet.

"You know Alice," Bella piped up, standing next to Edward with a smile on her face, "She kinda looks like you. She's a tiny little thing, you know."

The more I looked at my daughter, the more she started to resemble Alice. She had the same hair color and some of the same features. Another thing, she was small. Smaller than Nessie ever was at birth. Also from what what research Alice has done for her past life, Alice also had dark blue eyes.

She really was our daughter.

"I think she has Jasper's hair though," Alice joked, "Wavy and soft, but kinda messy."

I was about to argue with this when Bella laughed. "It's okay Jazz, I think the men in this family just have naturally unruly hair," she said, and reached up to muss her husband's hair playfully. He laughed.

Seraphina was passed to everyone. I got a bit nervous when Rose took her, and the glint in her eye said that she was jealous. But other than that, she fell in love right away like the others did. Emmett promised he would teach her every sport imaginable, even if she did end up growing up to be a shortie. Bella and Edward cooed all over her, and Bella looked close to crying. Carlisle held his new granddaughter in his arms, and reached down to kiss her overly-loved forehead. As expected, she had everyone wrapped around all ten of her fingers by the end of it.

I took Seraphina back into my arms, and as a family all nine of us walked inside.

"Where are the wolves?" Alice asked as Rosalie and Bella flitted upstairs to pick out an outfit for her.

"I called Jacob earlier," Edward responded, "I told him about Seraphina. He and Nessie are on their way over here."

As if on cue, Nessie and Jacob burst into the living room with broad grins on their faces.

"I have a cousin! Oh, this is so exciting!" Nessie said happily, looking at Jacob.

Jacob was grinning. "All I know is that if she grows up to be anything like Alice, she'll be a force of nature."

I laughed and passed Nessie her new cousin. Nessie immediately fondled all over her, telling her how much she loved her and how she could grow up with someone to talk to and gossip with.

"Where is Embry and Seth?" Alice asked Jacob.

"Embry is visiting in La Push right now. He won't be back until tomorrow evening. As for Seth, I called him. He's on his way over, but he picked up his phone while he was in the shower so I think it'll be awhile."

Jacob plopped onto the couch. "Hey Ness, could I hold my new family member too?"

She stuck her tongue out at him. "No need for the attitude."

Jake just laughed. "Love you too."

Nessie handed over Seraphina to Jake. He automatically smiled.

"Well, she sure is a looker. You're going to have to beat off the men with a stick around her," he joked.

I sighed. "I hope that's not the case."

Edward looked sympathetic. "It will be, trust me. God knows I had enough issues with Nessie over here."

"Hey!" she said indignantly, "I just had a few boyfriends."

Jake snorted. "A few? You had every single boy in your campus head over heels with you."

"But how many boyfriends did I actually have?" Nessie asked, crossing her arms.

They continued their bantering like this, while Seraphina watched with an amused expression. Finally, she started giggling, and we all looked at her.

Her little eyes twinkled gleefully as she let out a trilling giggle. If she was any more like Alice, I'd say she came straight from Alice.

Rosalie and Bella came back downstairs with dust all over them. "We had to look in the attic for some of Nessie's old things." Rosalie held out a white dress with frills on the hems.

She took a step forward and swiftly changed her niece into the dress. When she pulled back, everyone let out an "awwww." Her skin, creamy porcelain with a slight flush, stood out against the white of the dress. Her blue eyes twinkled again with the adoration of her family.

So much love for her, in such little time. It was funny how something so good could have come from a birth so monstrous.

It was Fate that handed me such an amazing child.

And it was Fate that made Seth Clearwater walk in through the door.
