Esme's Point of view
Where am I? It's so dark. I was surrounded by nothing but darkness, I couldn't see anything. Then after a few minutes the darkness started fading and everything, the walls turned into a beautiful shade of Caribbean blue then there was a shelve full of little baby books and there were a few toys scattered around the room, in the middle of the room was a an ocean blue baby crib and there was a blue silky curtains that was surrounding the crib. This room must be a nursery since there was a crib in the middle of the room. Suddenly I heard a soft giggling coming from the crib. I took one step forward towards the crib afraid of whats going to happen and then another and another step until I came close enough towards it. I pulled away some of the silky curtains that was protecting the crib away from my face so I can get a better look of whats in there.
Suddenly my eyes caught a small baby girl that was staring straight at me with her brown eyes, she was waving her hand out towards me and I started touching her little palms with both of my hands. I smiled at the sight of seeing right now.
Then the girl started speaking "Mommy, mommy, mommy!" I smiled even wider of what she just called me. She called me mommy! I slowly picked her up and held her in my arms lovingly like a mother should. But thats when she said the six words that made my smile disappear "It's time to wake up now mommy" No! I don't want to wake up from this wonderful dream. Then everything started getting brighter and everything disappeared and I knew now I was facing the real world again.
My eyes open, I blinked twice to make sure my vision wasn't blurry. I looked around seeing that I was on my bed with my lavender blankets covering my myself, and Carlisle sitting by are bed with his hands covering face. Then I remembered that I fainted in the middle of are backyard and I had a dream of a beautiful baby girl that called me mommy. Now I wish I can have that dream again because it was like my dream come true. Suddenly the door slammed open and Alice came running in.
"She's awake!" Alice yelled. Then Carlisle put his hands on his lap and looked up to see me awake. And he started smiling, I smiled back.
"Yea Alice we can see that" Rosalie answered.
"Esme what happened?" Edward asked ignoring what Rosalie said.
"I really don't know all I felt was a lot of pain in my stomach and then I was having the most amazing dream of my–" I was cut off.
" Wait you had a dream! No fair!" Emmet whined.
"Emmet let Esme finish, go ahead honey" Carlisle said.
" Anyway it was the best dream ever because in my dream was a beautiful baby girl and she called me mommy" I finished. Everyone was silent.
"Esme that was some pain you felt there yesterday, it was worse than are transformation" Jasper said. I gave him an apologist smile.
" I'm sorry that you had to feel that Jasper" I tried to apologize.
"It's ok don't worry about it at least I know what you were going threw"
"Ok so Esme you went threw a lot of pain and then you had a dream about a baby girl?" Carlisle asked. I nodded.
" Ok will this is weird how–" Alice got cut off when we heard a kicking noise from my stomach.
"uhh, Esme did that come from your stomach?" Alice asked. Then I could feel another kicking from my stomach. I removed my lavender sheets and looked at my stomach there was another kicked and this one tickled. I sat up and put my left hand on my stomach, and I could feel another kick. Alice put her ear on my stomach and then I felt a kick, Alice started screaming and Jasper went up to Alice to comfort her.
"Alice whats wrong?!" Jasper asked. He put his arm around her trembling body.
"Jas-per th-there something in h-er stom-ach" Alice shuttered. Carlisle touched my stomach and he felt the kick, then he let pulled his hand quickly away from my stomach when he felt a kick. Whats happening is something bad going to happen to me? Am I going to die, Is there something in my stomach thats bad. Thats when I stopped thinking realizing whats happening that star, the pain, and most of all that dream. The dream must have been a sign.
"Guys I think I'm pregnant" I said slowly. All there heads turned to look at my stomach.
" But that can't be! Vampires can't have a baby! It's impossible" Rosalie yelled.
" What are we going to do!?" Alice shouted.
"This can't be happening" Emmet murmured. Then there was silence again. No one talked for god knows how long. From the window I could see that the sun was rising wants again from under the clouds. And are skin started sparkling like diamonds. We all stayed still for at least 10 minutes.
" Will I think having a baby in are family is a good thing" Edward interrupted are silence, and are heads snapped to him. " Come on guys don't you think having another family member is a good thing?"
"Will...it would be nice to have another member, who knows this could be a good thing" Emmet second it.
" I agree with Emmet" Jasper said.
" Yay! That means we need to shop for little clothes and we need to buy furnitures for the nursery that we will make!" Alice said cheery while clapping her hands.
" Then it's official where going to have a new family member!" Carlisle said. And Alice was talking to the group about where the nursery should be and where there going to buy everything. Except for Rosalie, she looked said and was just standing there leaning on the wall. In a second she walked out of the room, and I followed her making sure no one noticed are absence. I closed the door softly seeing Rosalie sitting on the floor looking sad, I went to sit next to her leaning on the wall.
" Rosalie, sweetie whats wrong?" I asked. She slowly looked up at me seeing her sad topaz eyes.
" It's just that it's not fair that you and Carlisle get to have a child and I don't" She sad sadly looking back down at the ground.
" Oh, will it's ok Rosalie, tell you what you can help me raise her" Rosalie looked up with hopeful eyes.
"Really?"
" Yes really you can treat her like your own child also, and you could be the godmother!"
"REALLY!?" She stood up happily.
"Yes" I stood up also. Then I hugged Rosalie with a lot of my mothers love.
" Thank you" She whispered in my ear. Then we heard the door open, Rosalie and I broke apart to see Alice standing there on the doorway.
" There you guys are! Come on where going baby shopping!" She squealed.
"Rosalie would you like to join us?" I asked politely taking her hand in mine.
"Of course Esme, I wouldn't want to miss shopping for my god child" She pulled me downstairs following everybody else. We took Carlisle Mercedes and Edwards Volvo.

Paint Store
"PINK!" Alice screamed.
"PURPLE!" Emmet screamed higher.
"I SAY PINK PAINT!!"
"NO PURPLE PAINT!"
We were in the paint star, Alice and Emmet were fighting about what to paint the nursery room. They were both attracting a lot of attention from other people. I sighed not knowing what to do with those two when they argue. Rosalie put a hand on my shoulder and I looked at her seeing she had an annoying look.
" Hey Esme I found an amazing color that I found do you want to see it?" She asked, I smiled.
" Sure Rosalie" I followed her to where they have pieces of different colorful paper, Rosalie picked up a blue piece of paper and gave it to me.
" It's Caribbean blue I thought it might be cool to have an ocean looking nursery" I looked at the blue color and my smiled grew.
" Rosalie it's perfect!" Rosalie smiled wider. " Alice, Emmet! Stop fighting Rosalie found the perfect color for the nursery!" I shouted. They stopped fight .Finally.
" Ohh let me see!" Alice walked over to us and took the Caribbean blue paper she looked at it for a minute then her face went blank, after a few seconds Alice came back to us, and she smiled very wide . She gave the blue paper to Emmet and clapped her hands.
" I saw the nursery and it's going to look so wonderful with that color!" She screamed. Most people turned there heads to look at Alice.
" Ok Alice please calm down sweetheart" Jasper tried to soothe her., while Edward just chuckled.
" Hey I like this color it'll definitely look nice, way to go Rose" Emmet said giving her a kiss on the cheek.
" Ok so have we found are color?" Carlisle asked. We said yes in a unison and Emmet gave the blue paper to Carlisle and he gave it to the worker saying we want this color and the guy went to go make the paint. After a few minutes the worker came back with two buckets of Caribbean blue paint. Carlisle paid for the paint with his black credit card. After that all of us went to the baby shop and we bought everything that we needed for the baby, are last thing we needed to do was buying a crib.
"hmm... Esme how about this one?" Alice pointed to the snow white crib.
"umm... no... what about this one?" I looked at the yellow wooden crib.
"Nah! Wow this is hard" Rosalie answered. We've been looking at cribs for twenty minutes now, and still we haven't found the right one. I walked around looking at each crib unitl something caught my eye. It was the same crib from my dream, I stepped closer to make sure I wasn't dreaming. I touched the ocean blue crib, and played with the silky long blue vale protecting the crib, yep definitely not a dream this time. I heard foot steps coming my way.
"Hey Esme have you found– oh! This one looks nice! Nice vale too" Alice said touching the blue vale. "Rosalie come look what Esme found!" Rosalie came walking to where Alice and I are.
"Ok what did you find–wow!– this is–"
"Amazing" I finished for her.
"Exactly"
" Can we get this one?" Alice asked. I nodded. And we got the worker to carry it for us to the register even though we can do that easily but to bad we have to act all human. The women took Alice's clear white credit card she swiped it to the machine.
" So Esme finally having a baby?" The cash register, Doreen said while she was typing something.
"Yes Doreen, and I can't wait until she come" I said telling the truth.
"Oh so it's a she? What are you going to same it" She gave Alice the receipt.
"I really don't know I was thinking of naming her Isabella since I'm half Italian why not name her something in Italian."
"ahh, the name Isabella means 'Is a Beauty'. Nice choice" She replied. I smiled "Have a nice day!"
"Thank you!" Then I went out the door with Rosalie and Alice carrying the crib. I offered to carry it but they both refused saying pregnant womans shouldn't carry cribs. I laughed at that. The boys were waiting outside, when they saw us they offered to help carry the crib and we said yes...will Jasper, Edward, and Carlisle offered to help, Emmet was opening the door for Alice, Rosalie, and me. When we got home, everyone grabbed everything from each trunk and they went to put them away in the nursery in vampire speed while I was in the garage looking for paint brushes so we could paint the nursery. I must say I think are lives are going to change just because of one special someone coming in are family.
