Rosalie's Baby
Chapter 9: Gifts
A/N: IMPORTANT; I WOULD LOVE FOR EVRYONE TO CHECK OUT THE IMAGES before READING! (There on my profile)
(Rosalie's POV)
It was nice idea to have a Baby-shower, the thought seemed natural almost human. Exactly what I needed feeling a fraction of a human not a… disgusting monster. Now I felt before my human life took a dramatic turn, I was just in the edge to everything I wanted; needed to make my vampire life full. Even as I was nailed to a wheel-chair with a tubes pressed to my skin in the living room I was happy.
Something that before was impossible.
The large white house was decorated for the occasion. Pairs of glass cinnamon scented candles on the coffee table. The same cinnamon candles adorned the front porch, highlighting the entrance. I could definably smell the cinnamon perfectly, sweet like sugar yet with a spice of bitterness. Alice's' great idea was in place light turquoise colored stars hung from above invisible string attached to the celling.
Numerous amounts of fuchsia roses and white ones held together, I could almost taste the flowery smell in tip of my tongue.
Esme was making some snacks for the human, Emily and me probably too. I wondered if the twins. We're half-human I truly wished they we're. There was perfume was in the air, it was the kind I used (Chanel) though a softer fragrance. Alice did make this a well decorated baby shower. But as always she was genius at these types of things.
The guests had all arrived. Not too many, the Denali's, Bella, Alice, and Esme and Emily. If you counted myself that would be eight people.
Alice clapped her slender hands, calling attention. "I'm sure we're all excited for Rose, and do we have some words for her?" Bella grinned her now exquisite brown wavy hair falling in front of her.
She stood making eye-contact with me, "Rosalie, I am very grateful to you, you helped me very much. I owe you one and I'll help with anything." Bella told me. I was starting to like Bella she may have chosen the life I would've denied but she still she was glad with her decision stuck with it and didn't regret it.
"Of course, Bella. I would've helped anyone in the same place." She flashed me another smile to which I mimicked.
Tanya stood next, then Kate, and Carmen. All saying their thoughts and amusement that I was having twins. It was time for opening the gifts. Alice squealed excitement handing me a large purple box. It was from her. It was a competed outfit for two, unisex, white with blue stars on the collar and tiny boots, there we're also two necklaces' made of diamonds it dazzled fragments of green light coming through the crystals.
"I loved this!" I told Alice holding up the diamond hearts. Esme had joined us she patted Alice for her choice of gift.
Alice was dancing in joy that I loved her gift as much; she jumped giving me a kiss in the cheek. "I know, I saw it in France last time and simply had to get two, I was going to give the other to Jasper but I'm sure he'll survive the letdown." We all laughed.
Bella gave me a burned CD; she said she was helping Edward compose for the babies. That was a nice idea. Tanya's gift was snow-white large cashmere quilt bought in Europe. Kate and Carmen arrange their gifts coming from both of them, a crib. I still couldn't believe it, a crib we hadn't even thought of that. They carried it upstairs to an empty bedroom next to mine and Emmett's. Emily gave me a gift similar to Alice except it was a charm bracelet like the one Jacob made for Bella; she said it brought good-luck. And good-luck was just what I needed.
Esme's gift was so adorable, (two) one piece baby clothes with the words: BEST GRANDMA written in light-yellow. I thanked everyone for the lovely time, especially Alice for pulling it all together. Finally me, Bella, Esme and Alice we're alone the day had gone by quick very fast. Emmett Edward, Jasper—even Carlisle had left to not interrupted the celebration.
"Thanks, Alice." I said once more as Alice pushed the wheelchair back to the basement.
"Please Rosalie, anything that gives an excuse for a celebration is granted." Alice tossed the black tresses back with a dazzling smile.
"You got that right, Alice." Bella giggled softly from behind. I nodded in agreement, but I very much approved of Alice's enthusiastic personality. Bella would always be infuriated that Alice was throwing a party before notifying her. I laid my head gently back on the pillow. Alice readjusted it. I was very exhausted I kept telling myself this was what I wanted, no needed. "Will let you sleep." I could feel a light squeeze to my shoulders before Alice and Bella disappear. I closed my eyes, my long eye-lashes brushing my skin.
Even when vampires are unable to sleep, I pretend, pretend that my mind is blank and that point-less hours pass in a blur. This was one of the large list of human tings I missed. I was starting to miss Emmett it had been a while since he had gone to where ever Jasper, Carlisle, and Edward had taken him.
I blinked, the normal room atmosphere stared back, dull faded gray walls, and orange tiles a regular appearance for an unused basement. Well, unused till now. The tormenting pain right at this time was not making me scream in protest. A private smile came to my face, the bump was there. My hand reached to the gentle fabric around the stomach. The good-luck bracelet, from Emily flew down.
My big thumb and index finger squeezed the tiny wolf than hung form one of the many charms. It was hard to believe that in 16 days two pulsing heartbeats rang quietly inside my stomach. At times where Emmett wasn't with me; like now, I would distract myself listening to the astonishing sound. That lead me to another interesting thought; this babies would need names. I made a mental note to make Emmett buy a name book.
