Apology for the long chapters... hopefully some of you might enjoy them. I know I do :)
I personally enjoy long chapters, you recieve more information, more adventure, which
is what happens in this story :)
Disclaimer:To my own disbelief and pure greediness, I sadly don't own Twilight/New Moon characters, Miss Stephenie Meyer does.
I looked down at the cell phone, but looked up again to see the Cullen family; Carlisle was near Esme, who was looking worried, Jasper sitting on the sleek white couch, Rosalie standing near the couch, and Alice, who in front of me looking sad.
I flipped it open to see the time, 9:30pm. The silver phone felt like a magnet for frowns.
"It's ok Alice," I finally said, "I'd like to stay." A smile lit up her face.
I went and sat down as far from Jasper as possible on the couch, the whole family seemed to unwind from all the stillness of waiting. Esme came and sat by me, holding my hand and smiling.
"So Bella, Rosalie was telling me that you're already a mother…" She smiled again, as I smiled back.
"Yea, I have two children already." I smiled again.
Alice spoke up, "Oh Bella, you must tell me they're names, Rosalie wouldn't say anything…"
"Well, I have a daughter, Madeline Rachel and Mason Phillip."
"What beautiful names, "Esme spoke; a huge smile was on her face.
"Wow Bella, and if it isn't too bold for me to ask…" she paused, "How was it, being pregnant and delivering."
I laughed and turned to Rosalie, "Rosalie, I really think you'd regret your decision of children if you had to go through labor," all of the girls laughed. Carlisle even smiled.
"Oh Bella, what happened?" Alice asked.
"Well with Madeline I was in labor for hours, and it was excruciating, and the same with Mason, and then when I finally had them, Jacob…" I laughed, recalling the memory, "He had this uhh," I paused, smiling and staring at the glass coffee table, "… huge smile on his face, and then he poked fun at me because he said I almost broke his hand, and as you know, that's difficult for him…" I smiled.
Carlisle then spoke, "Oh Bella, you didn't tell me that, hours? I mean, hours?" He exaggerated.
Esme hushed him, "Oh Carlisle, I bet she does not scream and all of that nonsense…"
I laughed, "Oh no Carlisle, I don't scream, well I did a little with Madeline, but that was the first, by the third, I'm a pro." I smiled, "Besides, I'm just so worried about the IV and needles; I mean I had never been that scared since…" I stopped; the last time I'd actually been in the hospital was because of Edward, with James…
I made a quick recovery, "…since I was last in the hospital." I smiled.
"Well Bella, you might just be doing a C-Section with me as you doctor, unless you insist…" I interrupted him, "Oh no Carlisle, I don't mind, whatever is better for the baby."
Suddenly, Carlisle's cell phone started ringing; he picked it up and left to the other room, the kitchen.
"Oh Bella, you must be a terrific mother. You're children are so fortunate to have you as their mother." Esme added. I smiled, whenever she spoke, I always added a smile.
Carlisle suddenly came back into the room walking over towards me; this silver phone perched in his right hand, as if he was handing it to me. "Bella, its Jacob."
I reached for the phone then put it to my ear; I quickly got up, leaving the room as Carlisle did, into the kitchen.
"Hello?" I spoke into the phone.
"Hey Bella, I know it's not 10 yet, but I was wondering if you were done?"
I was walking through the kitchen, touching the smooth counter-tops, with my fingertips.
"Yes I am Jake; I guess it will be alright for you to come earlier."
"Alright. So how did it go, how are you and the baby?"
I sighed. "We're fine, just a little pregnancy hormones, head stuff, no big deal, I'm fine now."
"And the baby?"
"The baby's fine, we even did an ultrasound, the baby looked… looked so beautiful, Jake."
I heard him sigh in relief, and I could tell he was smiling.
"That is great Bells, out baby is lucky enough to get your looks."
I chuckled, still walking and talking, "Yea, well, you're beautiful DNA is definitely apart of that too."
He laughed, "Alright Bells, I'll be there in a minute, I promise, I love you."
"I…"He remembered the past scene with Edward in the office. "I love you too." I finally spit out.
I flipped the phone together then sighed, walking back to the family room. Alice was there with my jacket and scarf, the other family all standing near the door, Carlisle was waiting outside.
"That was uh…" I started to say. Alice cut me off, "I saw, it's ok, he's worried." She smiled.
She helped me with my coat, and I wrapped my scarf around my neck as I walked to the door. Esme hugged me, Rosalie smiled at me, Jasper finally looked my direction, a smile was in his eyes, and Emmett must have still been upstairs. I turned to Alice and she hugged me, "I'd suggest Alice as a middle name, "she whispered into my ear.
Millions of thoughts raced into my mind, Alice? Wait, a girl! I smiled then went outside to meet Carlisle.
"Ready? We'll be walking again; I don't want you to have to run with your sickness…"
I laughed, "No problem Carlisle, I'm fine walking."
We walked in silence, until I finally spoke up, half way there.
"So a girl…" I started to talk.
He grinned, "So Alice must have voiced her opinion on names…" then laughed.
"Yea, well, I guess I'll have to tell Jake, we should start thinking about names."
"Yes, a name is important, it determines who you'll be, what you will become."
I smiled, and then saw the headlights of the SUV. I turned and hugged Carlisle.
"Thank you so much Carlisle, I can never thank you enough." He squeezed my hand and winked.
"It's no problem Bella; you are still like family to me."
His words sank in deep, 'still like family'. How close was I to actually becoming a daughter to him, a gift that he'd been waiting for, for his first son. I sighed then walked toward the car.
I guess I'd cross some type of line, because Jake then embraced me in gentle hug, kissing my hair as I rested my face in his chest.
"Ready to go home?" he whispered.
I sighed again, "Yea."
He helped me into the car, and he told me to try to sleep, but I couldn't. I told myself to try to tell him about our little girl, he started the car and turned onto the highway.
"Bells, try to sleep," he looked over at me, "you've had one heck of night."
"I'm ok, really, Jake." I stated, "besides I have some news."
His arm was around my seat; his eyes were on the road and on me.
"Well… Alice accidentally let it slip to me, what sex the baby is."
"Oh really?" he laughed, he didn't seem mad, which I was shocked about. "What is it?"
I smiled, "A girl." He smiled too, then moving his hand towards mine, he squeezed it.
"That's great Bells, another girl, I'm really happy."
"I know me too, but we'll have to think of a name."
"Yea well, we don't have to do it now, we can wait, and we still have a few months."
"Yea… I guess we do."
We drove home in silence, Sam was on the couch eating ice cream and flipping through channels as I walked up to the bedroom and Jake went outside and walked with Sam to his car.
I quickly undressed and hopped into bed, falling to sleep almost instantly.
Author's Note: Well, another chapter, hopefully this one isn't too long, I read someone awesome comment
(which I'll gladly thank them for again!) and they said they liked the long chapters... but then I reread the story,
and looked at the chapters... and yea, I'll admit, they're long.
I'm so sorry, If I knew it was like this... well, gosh darn it, I would've shortened them, but I think the long chapters are good,
you get more information that way. Also a side note, without knowing the chapters are getting shorter...
Anyways, hopefully you enjoy it :)
Till Then,(and anxiously waiting for 5 more days...) Elizabeth
