I went into my room and closed the curtains and locked my door and began meditating.
I heard thumping on the front door of my mini-house, so I looked through the closest eyes around me, and got something weird.
The eyes were super-small, almost not-there, and were closed. The person didn't have a mind either. I ran downstairs hoping my mind was playing tricks on me, but I threw open the door, and there was Jasper. I'm pretty sure Jasper can think and see.
"What were you looking at 3.79 seconds ago?!" I demanded.
"Um, how upset you and Alice looked." He mumbled. I froze, still holding the door- now all my body weight was against the door.
I closed my eyes and tried it again. I got the same things, and Jasper was two inches from my body!
I'm no doctor, but if I look through someone's eyes that basically aren't there, and they don't have a mind, and they're closer than two inches from my body….
I fainted.
Jasper POV
"I'll talk to her, you guys can listen from here, if you must." I mumbled, heading towards Izzy's house.
I kept thinking about how upset Alice and Bella looked after Bella yelled at Alice as I knocked on her door.
She suddenly threw it open.
What were you looking at 3.79 seconds ago?!" she demanded.
"Um, how upset you and Alice looked." I mumbled. She froze, still holding the door- now all her body weight was against the door.
She closed her eyes and did what she calls 'meditating', where she looks through the closest person's eyes to read their thoughts and see what they see.
Then she fainted. I caught her before she hit the ground and stared at her.
"What was I thinking that made her faint?!" I asked myself inside my head.
"You made her faint?!" Edward yelled, pulling Bella away from me gently; I shrugged.
"I don't know what happened; one second she was meditating, then next she fainted." I said, he sighed and carried her back to our house and set her on the couch in the den.
Bella POV
*DREAM*
I woke up to a beautiful little baby girl tugging on my hair.
"Mommy! Auntie Alice and Auntie Rose want me to go shopping with them! AGAIN!" she pouted.
"MELODY RENESME CARLIE CULLEN! You ARE coming shopping with us!" Alice shouted, coming into the room. Melody looked on the verge of tears.
"How about I come with you guys?" I asked, pulling my beautiful daughter into my lap.
"If you're going, I'm going! You can't make me stay with my brothers alone! Besides, if my girls have to endure torture, so will I." Edward said, pulling Melody into his arms as she grinned.
"Alright! It's a Cullen woman plus Edward shopping trip!" Alice shouted, clapping.
"You're the best Mommy and Daddy any baby-vampire could ask for!" Melody said, hugging me and Edward at once.
*END DREAM*
I woke up in the Cullen's den, on the couch and smiled hugely. I hopped up and was happy about having a baby girl now! I don't know if it will really be a baby girl, but Alice likes shopping and can re-do it later if it is a boy.
"I'm coming!" Alice shouted, pulling me towards the door.
"What was that about?" I heard most of the rest of the family ask, as Edward and Jasper stopped Alice and me from getting to her Porche.
"Where are you going? You owe us an explanation! You had us all freaking out!" Jasper shouted as Edward looked worried.
"We're going shopping! For lots of pink!" Alice shouted, prancing off to her car, and leaving me alone with the guys. I guess it will be a girl.
"Oh! Real nice! Just for that, you don't get to help plan for it!" I shouted after her, and she gasped and was immediately at my side.
"What's the game plan, missy? What do I tell them, what do you tell them, and what do we leave out and how much pink am I permitted to buy without your help?" Alice asked, pulling me aside and talking to me so that only I could hear.
"Let me do the talking, and you can throw the shower too." I whispered quieter than she had.
"YAY!" she screamed, making me wince.
We walked back over to the guys, arm in arm.
"We're going shopping." I said.
"For who? You hate shopping, Bella!" Edward said, doing that dazzle thing.
"Melody." I mumbled, visibly melting into his gaze. Alice tugged my elbow.
"Bella! You're breaking!" She whispered/shouted in my ear, which snapped me out of it.
"Oh! He deserves to know!" I snapped. "It's your husband who will go on a murder spree!" I whispered back and her mouth formed into an 'O'.
"Come on, Jazzy! Bella and I can shop later! She and Edward need to talk!" Alice said, pulling him away as he narrowed his eyes at me and Edward.
They went upstairs.
"Come on!" I said, pulling him towards his car.
"What do we need to talk about?" Edward asked.
"Well, after we're out of hearing range, I'll tell you! You're family will go insane if they hear." I whispered, as he opened the door for his Volvo for me. "Especially Rosalie." I added.
Once we were out of vampire-hearing range, he asked me what was up.
"Okay, before I say this, do not freak out! And if you hate me and want nothing to do with me after you hear this, I understand- although, Rosalie may tear you to shreds… whatever." I said, shaking those thoughts out of my head. "Ignore her if she tries to kill you."
"Bella! What is going on?!" he demanded.
"We- well, for sure I will have a baby girl- you may not want anything to do with her." I whispered; the car screeched to a halt on a (thankfully) empty street.
"When…How…Who…" he stuttered, looking confused.
"Seriously? I mean, you know how, and about three hours ago, and, you." I said, answering his questions.
"Huh?" he asked, his eyes avoiding my gaze until now.
"My power that I have alerted me, and I had a dream about it. And Alice confirmed my suspicions when she squealed about it." I said, shrinking away from his angry and confused gaze. His eyes visibly relaxed.
"Why did you look angry until now?" I asked, a little freaked out.
"Because in order for someone to know if they're pregnant without going to a doctor, you'd have to be after or in the middle of the first trimester of pregnancy, and you were a virgin 3 hours ago- then again, no one's ever heard of a female vampire virgin, so for all we know you could have lost your virginity a decade ago or something." He said, shrugging. "So where to?" he asked, starting the car again.
Okay, now I'm confused.
"Wait, so it's perfectly fine with you if I'm pregnant with your child?" I asked, confused.
"Yep." He said, popping the 'p' as he turned onto another road. "Now you're stuck with me and my family for eternity." He said, smirking.
"You honestly think I would leave you? I mean, you're like Mr. Perfect or something- if anything you'll get bored of me and you'll leave." I said, looking back out my window.
"Bella, I will never leave you, as long as you wish for me to stay with you, I will." Edward said, pulling into the mall parking lot and shutting off the engine.
I attacked his lips with mine, which he eagerly accepted and deepened. He then pushed me lightly off of him.
I felt a little hurt and rejected.
"We aren't going to have a repeat of earlier in a mall parking lot." He said, smirking; I giggled and we got out.
"So I take it you already named her?" Edward asked, opening my door.
"Melody Renesme Carlie Cullen." I said, standing up straight. "And please don't treat me like I'm made of glass until she's visible, okay?" I asked, not wanting to be crippled.
"As you wish, Love." He said, guiding me towards the doors.
"By the way," he mumbled, stopping me where no human could hear our conversation. "One, we're in Port Angeles so no one from home will embarrass you; and Two, you must promise to marry me someday." Edward mumbled, his lips a fraction of a inch from mine; I nodded.
"I promise- but not until we at least graduate from this school." I added, before kissing his lightly and chastely.
"If you proposed right now, I would probably accept."I said, smiling; he got an impish grin on. "I didn't mean it literally! Wait until we're not in a public place." I groaned as he pouted.
"Please? I just want to make it clear that you're mine." Edward said with an adorably cute puppy-dog face on. I sighed.
"Fine. But don't do the whole 'get down on one knee and give a whole speech' type thing, okay?" I said in a weak voice as he broke out into a grin again and slipped a ring on my finger.
"You carry a ring with you?" I asked, giggling. He shrugged.
"Alice said I should start doing it." He said like it was no big deal. I giggled again and kissed him again, like we had in his Volvo- but this time, he didn't push us apart.
"Ooooh! It's Edward and Bella! I didn't know they were going out!" I heard Jessica Stanley' voice say, coming closer to us. Edward and I reluctantly pulled away and sighed.
He turned around and put on a fake smile.
"Hello Angela, Jessica, Lauren." Edward said politely.
"Hi." I said, smiling and holding Edward's hand with my right hand and putting the other one in my pocket. Edward noticed I was hiding the ring and did a mock-hurt face and I glared at him.
"Did you guys just get in a silent fight? Edward looks like he wants to eat you or something." Jessica said. I choked on my own saliva as Edward chuckled and pulled me closer.
"No, actually just celebrating making our relationship official." Edward murmured into my hair and I smiled into his chest. I saw Lauren do that fake-choke/gag thing and glared at her.
"Well, Eddie, if you ever want a real woman, here's my number." Lauren said in a voice she thought was seductive. I ripped myself away from Edward and snatched the napkin.
"Oh! Lauren, it looks like you got your number wrong!" I said, in mock-astonishment. She grabbed the napkin back in disbelief. "It should read 206-666-SLUT." I added, glaring at her as Edward and Angela hid their laughing and Jessica and Lauren looked at me with their mouths gaping at me.
