Bella's POV

*******Time Warp Ahead******

Being almost nine months pregnant and 32 lbs heavier really took a toll on someone. I had trouble sleeping at night from how big my tummy had gotten. The doctor had told me that I could go into labor any day now. I was scared about going into labor and all the pain I might have. I wanted everything to be natural with no epidural.

We had been told that I would be having a little girl. She was healthy and the birth would be 'pretty much normal' as the doctor put it. I was afraid that it being my first pregnancy there would be complications in the labor. Between my 6th and 7th months of pregnancy, I had an abortion risk. (When the baby is facing downward ready for birth when it is not supposed to.)

I had been sitting in Emmett's dinning room explaining to my dad how his daughter was going to be a single mother. Out of nowhere, I felt warm between my legs and noticed it was blood. They rushed me to the hospital where the doctor stopped the bleeding and stabilized me.

A few days later I was released and on strict orders of bed rest.

-

As I lay in bed unable to sleep, I thought over the events of the day. I had convinced Alice to take a walk with me to the park. It was sunny and a few kids were playing on the playground. It disappointed me to see parents playing with their children when I knew my daughter would have to settle for just me.

"You're thinking about Edward aren't you?" Alice asked.

"In a way." I answered, turning my attention to her. "I still can't wrap my head around what he did Alice. If had called at least once to say 'bye' and nothing else I at least would be satisfied to think he cared just a little." I shook my head. "He doesn't though. He didn't care enough to call and check to see how I was doing. I could have told him about the baby. But no he doesn't care at all." I hadn't heard a word from him since he left and I hadn't heard anything else since I called.

"He still can call." She added.

"It would be a little too late don't you think?"

--

The thought of Edward being married now made me cringe. I had gone to several mother-to-be classes where the husband/baby daddy accompanied the expectant mothers. I was the only exception. I hadn't gone alone; Alice or Rose would accompany me however, it wasn't the same.

If Edward was married now, I was sure he and his wife would want to have a baby. Who knew, maybe my little baby girl would be having a sibling.

Unable to sleep I walked out of my room and past Alice's into the nursery. Alice had done a great job decorating it. They wanted me to do it so that I could be proud and joyful but I wasn't going to be able to on bed rest. The deal was I would pick everything out and Alice would put it all together. It turned out even more spectacular than I imagined.

The baby shower had been earlier today, after our walk to the park. Alice had managed to arrange all the presents on the shelves and drawers where they belonged. Alice had gotten me several pregnancy pillows to help me sleep but I hadn't really used them. I grabbed one that was on the rocking chair in the corner of the nursery and tried sleeping on the rug. The floor actually seemed more comfortable than the bed.

----

"Bella." I heard Alice whisper.

"Huh?" I yawned.

"Why are you on the floor?" she asked.

"Bed was lumpy." I answered still asleep.

"That's why I woke you up. The new bed you ordered is here. The men delivering it are going to set it up and are going to make noise." She warned.

"I'm up don't worry." The baby kicked and moved inside me letting me know she was also awake. The little kicks were adorable and fascinating but painful at the same time. She would stretch and move around so much especially when music was played. So what did Alice do? She played music all day.

I got up with help from Alice and made it into the shower. Once I was out, the men who had brought in the new bed and taken the old one had left.

I looked into the room and walked to the kitchen. Jasper joined us for breakfast and afterwards we sat on the couch watching more baby videos. Jasper wanted to be a very good uncle just as Alice wanted to be a great aunty. They bought different baby books and videos and made me watch them as well. I didn't mind since I learned from it too but I believed that once the baby arrived everything would come naturally.

I blew air in and out as the baby twisted and spun inside of me. Small pains instigated near my pelvis bone. The minor aches were becoming a bit stronger making me light headed.

"Bella are you alright?" Jasper switched the TV off and faced his attention to me.

"Yea. The baby is just moving a lot causing me a few pains." I took another deep breath but was followed by a more intensive pain.

"Oh oh!" I breathed.

"Bella are you going into labor?" He asked surprised.

"Don't be ridiculous." I remarked. "Awh!" I looked down between my legs at the wet couch beneath me.

"My water broke." I informed.

"Don't panic. We will get you to the hospital." Alice ran into the nursery to grab the over night bags the baby and I would need. "Aghhh!" Jasper and I froze at Alice's scream.

"What is it?" I yelled.

"The baby is coming!" She darted back into the living room bouncing and clapping.

"Will you shut up and get me to the hospital." The pains were intensifying and I under no circumstances wanted to have my baby in the living room.

"Sorry. I'm just so excited!" She sang.

As Jasper drove us to the hospital, Alice informed Emmett and Rose.

Once we reached the hospital, Emmett and Rose were waiting along with Doctor Kelly.

I was able to have two people with me in the room and of course it was Alice and Rose.

With Rose by my side holding my hand, Alice was 'helping' the doctor and taking pictures.

"Alice if you don't put that thing down I'm going to smack you!" She was making me nervous snapping pictures here and there.

"Bella on the count of three give me a big push. 1-2-3"

I pushed wanting this pain to end and for my baby to be finally in my arms.

"Again Bella. 1-2-3."

With all my force, I was able to bring my baby into this world.

"It's a girl." The doctor confirmed. She handed her to the nurses who were attending her.

"You did it Bella." Rose congratulated.

"Thank you." I let my tears roll freely as the nurse handed me my daughter.

"My little girl." She was so beautiful. Her skin was soft and pink. She seemed so small and fragile. I would take care of her and protect her from anything.

"What are you going to name her?" Rose asked.

"I wanted to name her after both of you. Alice Rose. If that's alright." They had been with me and by me all the time and I felt I owed it to them in appreciation.

"I'm flattered Bella. If you'd like sure." Rose said, giving me her consent.

"I'm also flattered but, I think you should give her, her own first name. I'm glad you want to name her after me but I would prefer if she was named something other than Alice." I was glad Alice was being honest about this.

"What would you like her first name to be then?" I asked, allowing her to choose my daughter's name.

"You're letting me decide?" She asked surprised.

"Yes. If she won't have your name I want you to give her, her first name then."

"How about … Kimberly." She suggested.

"Kimberly... Kimberly Rose. I like it." I said, smiling at my baby.

-

I was transferred to a different room where they had a small crib for the baby.

"Hey Bella. How are you; can we see our niece?" Emmett and Jasper walked in with balloons and flowers.

"She's right here." I held her in my arms all warm and bundled up.

"She's precious." Jasper gushed. He brushed his fingers along her cheek and leaned down to place a small kiss on her forehead.

"My turn." Emmett shoved.

"She looks like you Bella." he pointed out. "That's how you were when you were a baby." I looked at her small little face trying to figure out whom she looked like.

I could see her resemblance to Edward. Her features were smaller like mine but it was obvious his genes had a lot to do with our baby. I pulled back the small hood the nurse had placed on her little head. Her hair had a few gold tones in it, but it was mostly dark brown. I placed a small kiss on her forehead and placed the hood back on.

"She's truly precious Bella. Congratulations little sis." Emmett gave me a small squeeze on the shoulder and walked to Rose's side.

"Have you named her?" Jasper asked.

"Yes. Her name is Kimberly Rose. Kimberly Rose Swan." She wouldn't carry the Cullen last name, which saddened me.

"It suites her." Jasper smiled.

After a few more minutes of appraising Kimberly, I was left alone. The nurse had come in and instructed me to breast feed her. Once she was finished the nurse placed her in the crib provided. As the hospital became quite with other baby cries I fell asleep with my daughter by my side.
