Bella's POV
Two days after giving birth to my daughter Kimberly Rose I was able to return home. Alice had the house filled with decorations and flowers. Friends came by to congratulate me and see the baby. As much as I enjoyed everyone's congratulations I was exhausted.
Once everyone left I fed Kimberly and put her in the bassinet Alice bought. While Alice watched Kimberly I was able to shower and make something to eat. Alice and I both ate together in the kitchen and afterwards I was left to clean up.
Once I finished cleaning I walked to the family room to get Kimberly from the bassinet and saw Alice snapping photos.
"Alice what are you doing? You're going to wake her up." I made sure Kimberly was asleep and picked her up.
"I want to take a few pictures of her sleeping. She is so adorable." She cooed.
"Okay one more." I was also enjoying seeing the baby asleep, so taking one last picture would be alright.
"Okay that's all. Time for bed." Alice walked behind me and strolled with the bassinet into the room.
Kimberly would be sleeping in my room for the first couple of weeks. Until I was confident enough to leave her on her own in the nursery.
With Alice in her room and Kimberly asleep I went to bed. This was the beginning to the next years with my daughter.

I had been woken up three times during the middle of the night to feed and change Kimberly's diaper. As soon as the baby cried Alice busted through the door asking if she could help. There wasn't much she could do since I was breast feeding. I would have to find a way so that Alice could also feed her. Once the baby went back to sleep Alice and I did the same.
I was awoken early the next morning by Rose, Alice, Emmett, and Jasper. Alice grabbed Kimberly from her bassinet and handed her to me.
"Happy Mother's Day." They whispered.
"Mother's day?" I asked confused. Kimberly had been born May 6, and today was May 9. It was mother's Day and now I was a part of it.
"Yes, Happy Mother's Day, you're a mother too now." Jasper clarified.
"Aww." I hugged my little buddle in my arms and caressed her.
"Thank you." I was pleased at the surprise they had given me.
"We got you a gift." Rose handed me yet another gift so I opened it.
"What's that?" Emmett asked baffled.
"It's a breast pump so that you can save milk in bottles that way Alice or one of us could help you feed her." Rose explained.
"Perfect, I needed this." It would be great if they could help feed her for when I couldn't.

Alice insisted on changing the baby while I got ready. I wasn't going anywhere but I wanted to be presentable and look a bit more descent than pajamas.
While the boys were out in the backyard making a BBQ, the girls and I were inside with the baby. I was using Rose's gift while she and Alice took turns holding her.
Once I was finished pumping out milk Alice sat on the couch with Kimberly ready to feed her.
"It's my turn to feed her next." Rose complained.
When the baby was finished and burped, she was placed in her bassinet and beside me while I ate.
We talked of how it would be when she grew older and started dating and such. For the time being I just wanted to enjoy my baby.
Everyone took turns carrying her and taking pictures and video. After Alice and Rose got in an argument of who would change her diaper it was time to take her to her nursery. I changed her diaper to settle the dispute and placed her snuggly in her crib. I turned on the baby radio monitor and took one with me.
The day came to an end soon enough and like that my first Mother's Day was over. Although, it was only the first to the many more I would share with my baby girl.
I was going to take her from the nursery and take her to my room so that we could call it a night. I saw Alice in the nursery hovering over the crib.
"Alice?" I asked.
"Bella!" She turned around startled.
"What are you doing?" I asked stunned.
"Nothing." She answered mysteriously.
"Alice what are you doing?" I walked toward Alice and tried to take whatever was in Alice's hands away.
"No!" She tried going but I grabbed it out of her hands.
It was the necklace I wore. It was the necklace with the pendant Edward had given me. I clutched my neck but there was nothing around me.
"I took it off you while you slept. It was the night after you found out about Edward. You burned everything else and I wanted to save this for Kimberly." She looked nervous but firm.
"You are not putting that around her neck Alice. My daughter is not wearing that. How dare you?" I asked incredulously.
"She should at least have something of her father Bella."
"No she shouldn't." I stood firm. "He left and she under no circumstances will have anything to do with the man who betrayed her as well. Alice this has got to be the last time you try pulling something like this. The next time I will not respond." I took my baby from her crib and walked out to my room.
I laid her in her bassinet and crawled into bed with tears streaming down my face. My daughter would never know her father. She would have to settle for me and just me. I know Alice was only trying to help but I was still hurting. I still thought of Edward and I had to stop. He was most likely married by now. He had forgotten me and I would forget him too.
In my hand I still held the necklace. I stood up from the bed and walked to my Jewelry box. I placed it in a small drawer and left it there.
Maybe life had something better in store for by daughter and me.
(A/N) This was a following to the baby's birth. I though it would be cute to show how Mother's Day was three days after the baby was born.
The real time warp starts next.
