Chapter 13

The first month was pretty hectic, full of worries and problems. Jacob was so tight – or extremely caring – that after Renesmee's first glass of champagne, he took the second glass off her and told her that alcohol was bad for the baby. She stood there in shock, her hand still in the same position as if the glass had remained.

Apart from Jacob, I think Edward was second to overreacting/worrying. He was so concerned at how much of the baby would be a vampire. Every time he mentioned it, or someone brought it up, he would glance to me; just for a fraction of a second, shudder, and then continue talking.

Besides them two, everyone else was ecstatic.

Even though we knew it would be nothing like my pregnancy, there were still the questions…

"So how are we going to approach this then? I mean, it is still part-vamp." Jake said to Carlisle.

"Well, we'll have to consider the factors and complications that Bella had when she was pregnant," Cue Edward's shudder, "and then figure out which problems could occur with Nessie. The rapid growth, the blood intake, and how the baby will be delivered as well. There are a couple of things to think over."

"Darn your stupid vamp genes," Nessie remarked sarcastically, hitting Edward lightly on the arm. We laughed for a bit, then I looked down to her stomach, where the bulge was sticking out under her shirt.

"Definitely take the speed thing into consideration." I said, and everyone's eyes looked to Renesmee's stomach, which she tried to hide with her arms being self-conscious.

"Hmm," Carlisle said to himself. Edward looked up to him and said, "It could be possible." I looked between them both missing the conversation that just occurred between Carlisle's mind and Edward. He looked at me, understanding my confusion and told me, "He was wondering whether the baby will be able to be seen under the ultra-sound scan. We're hoping it won't have that vampire-shield-thingy blocking it out, so it would be even more helpful if we can see it."

I nodded in understanding. What Carlisle could determine through looking at the scan. He would definitely learn more from mine, that's for sure.

"I wonder," Carlisle said, breaking me from my train of thought, "if we do take the speed thing into consideration, I think, just think-"

"That we'll be able to see the baby." Nessie said to herself, finishing the sentence.

"Most definitely, and it won't be as a small foetus. I assume that most of its limbs will be visible and grown."

Nessie grinned, and looked to Carlisle. Her eyes were glazed over, and she was probably filled with loads of emotions. "Can we do it now?" Renesmee asked her voice longing. "I mean, you do still have it don't you?" and she almost seemed nervous if the machine wasn't here. We all knew it would be here in anticipation for Jake and Ness's baby.

"If you want to."

Nessie's grin widened, and Jacob smiled eagerly too, and they both jumped off the couch within seconds and headed upstairs hand in hand.

Nessie lay on the bed fidgeting as well as Jacob alongside her. I decided to come in with her, just to have a look. I had never had an ultrasound scan and I thought it would be fascinating to see the baby before it was even here. Also, Nessie asked me to be with her.

Carlisle rubbed the gel like substance onto her stomach, and she flinched slightly at the cold. He placed the remote-scanner onto her stomach and rolled it gently over her stomach. All are eyes were focused on the black and white image on the screen, watching intently for Carlisle to point it out.

He stopped and left it there leaving the same view. And then we noticed it.

It was so small, but in comparison with a human baby it was relatively bigger for it's age. Carlisle's finger outlined a little shape on the screen, pointing out it's head and it's body, even it's little legs. I turned around to Jake and Ness.

Both had wide smiles across there face, tears were falling from Nessie's eyes, and Jake would kiss them.

"That's are baby." He whispered into her eyes, and her smile grew bigger.

"Can you tell what sex the baby is?" I asked, still staring at the small figure on the screen.

"No not yet. In about two weeks though I think we will. Based on the size now, I determine that your pregnancy will be 6-7 months, maybe a bit longer. The vampire characteristics will shorten the length of the pregnancy. But I am guessing your due date to be around March."

We all sat there in silence. Alice and Edward joined us and marvelled at the baby on the screen. It wasn't until after a while, Jacob pointed something unusual on the screen that surprisingly no one had noticed before.

"Carlisle, what's that?" He pointed to the screen, and a significant portion of the screen was just blank, like a void. Carlisle moved the little remote thing up to inspect further but the void was still there. He looked back and forth between the machine and the remote.

He gently smacked the machine to see if it would fix something. But the blank space was still there. "Hmm, probably nothing, I think the machine is playing up on us, need to get a new one."

We all nodded accepting the technical fault, then one by one we left the room leaving Renesmee and Jacob some alone time.

"It's so wonderful isn't it?" I said to Edward as we made our way back to our house.

"It's great. Tell me this, what would you prefer to be called – I mean only in the privacy of our house – Nan or Granma?"

"Neither." I answered immediately.

"How come?" he asked.

"I don't know, just 'Bella' will be fine. I don't want to be reminded of being a grandmother at the age of eighteen, ugh, it's mental thing." I added.

"Right." He left the conversation for a while, but then restarted the conversation. "Were you really expecting me to react badly to our daughter's news?"

"Yes." I answered again quickly.

"Well it hurts my feelings that you think that low of me," he said jokingly, "and then you were lying to me," he continued jokingly, pretending to do a fake sob. I pushed him playfully and he laughed and pushed me back. "You still have to make up for it though." He added.

"Really, and what is it I have to do Mr Cullen?" I purred into his ear.

"You'll see." And we went off running to the house.
