Blurry, that's all I could really remember.
"But your cell phone." Alice insisted as she climbed into the car last, Rosalie was at my side holding my hand while Edward sat in the driver's seat ready to go once Alice got her little body in the car.
"Forget it Mary Alice." I breathed irritated. The contractions had slowly started about 30 minutes ago, since that's how long it took to gather everyone. I refused to leave anyone and made Edward go find everybody, he looked at me like I was crazy, but I glared at him scared of what I might say if I opened my mouth and he went.
"Get in the car please." Edward begged, and Alice hopped in, her little body settling right nest to mine. We were speeding way over the speed limit, but I didn't care. The contractions were getting worse really fast and bout time we got to the hospital I was screaming bloody murder, and cutting off circulation in Rosalie's and Alice's hand.
"Just breathe Bella." They kept saying softly, and I wanted to tell them to shove it.
"Why … is.. it getting… so.. bad.. so .. fast." I choked out between breaths as all three of them were helping me wobble to the entrance of the hospital. None of them answered and I suddenly felt like crying. I couldn't think straight all my mind could move around was the pain going through me and how badly I wanted it to stop. I squeezed my eyes shut as I wobbled into the hospital. Relax Bella, Relax. I told myself.
"She's going into labor pretty qui-" Edward was talking with the receptionist.
"Edward!" I was very familiar with Carlisle voice coming towards us. I didn't open my eyes, I kept them glued shut scared if I opened them the pains would get worse. I held on tighter to Rosalie's hand.
"Bella your doing great, everything's going to go fine." She whispered to me while Edward and Carlisle talked briefly about what was going on.
"Oh." I groaned loudly, and everyone went dead silent. The room went in sudden chaos that next second.
"Get her to a room." Someone yelled as I leaned into Rosalie for full support.
"Yes someone get me to a room." I moaned
Alice's POV
Bella was sped to a room in record time, while I watched wide eyed and worried.
"Alice!" Jasper busted through the hospital doors with Emmett at his side, both of them looking panicked and rushed.
"Jasper." I ran to him wrapping my hands around his waist, I must have caught him off guard because it took him half a second longer than it should have for him to hug me back.
"Is Bella okay?" Emmett was to speak this time.
"She's in a lot of pain." I cried into Jasper's chest, and tried my hardest to block the image of Bella screaming out of my head.
"That's normal, she'll be fine." Jasper rubbed my back soothingly.
"I hope."
"I thought she was only 8 months pregnant though?" Emmett blurted.
"She is." I cried.
"The baby will be fine." I felt one of jaspers arm loosen around me to slap Emmett.
"Did you call your mom?"
"No." I murmured into his shirt.
"You should probably do that." He suggested and I pulled my head from his chest to look into his bright eyes.
"We live in Forks. Half the town knows already." I sniffed.
On Q my mom burst through the hospital doors looking so panic stricken it was almost funny, but I didn't have it in me to laugh.
"Mom!" I squealed like a little girl, unwrapping myself from Jasper's hold and running to my mothers.
"Alice!" She squeezed me.
"How'd you know to come?"
"It mine as well be on the news." My mom rolled her eyes. "Grocery store."
"How is she?" My mom bit her lip, her eyes wide with worry.
"In pain." I bit my lip too, but only to stop the sobs I so badly wanted to cry.
"Is Edward okay?"
"I think so; he's in there with her right now along with Rosalie."
"That's brave of him." She raised an eyebrow.
"That's what I said." Emmett laughed, and my mom looked up at the muscular dark haired guy standing next to her.
"That's Emmett." I smiled. "And that's Jasper." I blushed and nodded towards Jasper who was standing next to Emmett.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Kat." She smiled warmly.
"UGH!" You could hear Bella's scream from the lobby. We all froze at the sound. I had seen Bell in a lot of pain before, seeing she has to be the clumsiest person I know, but never have I ever been so scared in my life. I had two lives in there to be worried about, one person's who happened to be my best friend, other half and the other was a person I haven't even met yet but know I love. Tears fogged my vision and my mom wrapped her arm around my shoulder.
"Hey their going to be fine." My mom kissed my cheek. All I could do was nod. Jasper very boldly came to stand on the other side of me, entwining his hand with mine. My heart skipped a couple beats and my whole body was lit on fire just by his touch. I felt my mom's gaze on my hand in Jasper's.
"So this is the Jasper." She whispered in my ear and winked.
"Yeah." I breathed. He hadn't really asked me to be his girlfriend yet, but I expected him to soon. It didn't really matter, I've never felt so complete in my life. I knew he was my soul mate from day one. How could he not? Mary Alice does not have infatuations. I looked up in to his bright eyes hidden under a few perfect dirty blond curls. He smiled a beautiful smile warming me from head to toe. I sighed heavily in response.
"You had me waiting a long time Jasper." I whispered, and my mother's hold disappeared, she probably left to give us privacy. All I could see was the perfect man in front of me.
"I didn't know it was you I was looking for." He winked, taking my other hand and pulling me closer to him. I was in such a daze I didn't answer.
"But-" he whispered. "Now that I do. I intend to make up for all the lost time."
"You already have." I breathed. I reached up on my toes but I still wasn't high enough so he lifted me onto his feet and ducked his head down to reach me. But before our lips met, he looked over at my mother.
"Ma'am?" He asked permission. My mother was talking to Renee and Charlie briefly and then they both left down the hall. My mom looked up and took in the scene, then waved her hand dismissively and in that second his lips were on mine for the first magical time.
"Ugh!" Another scream from Bella. I called the moment perfect.
Bella's POV 2 hours later:
Whispers were irritating me, continues calming was making me want to murder people.
"Just keep breathing you're doing good." I followed Carlisle's instruction, while I hummed instead of screamed. Rosalie was still at my side holding my hand, and watching me. I wondered idly where Alice went, and if she was alright. I was being kind of mean to her in the car. I was washed with my own guilt. Another contraction hit.
What was I feeling guilty about? The doctors and nurses were yelling our medical terms that I wasn't paying any attention to, all I knew is when they needed my full undivided attention they would make sure they had it.
"Don't cry Bella." Rosalie said softly kissing my hand. I hadn't even realized I was crying.
"I don't want to do this anymore." I cried.
"Shh, your almost ready to push the baby out just relax. It's almost over."
"This is all Edward's fault." I sobbed.
"You're right." She smiled her blue eyes sparkling.
"I just wanted a hot dog."
"Sh stop crying. It's all going to be okay." She squeezed my hand.
"Where's Edward?" I squeezed my eyes shut.
"He's talking with your parents right outside." Rosalie explained.
"My parents!" I screamed.
"You're going to have to relax Bella. No one's mad or angry their just talking."
"Why isn't my mom in here?"
"Carlisle told them to stay out of the room. He's scared it would cause you more stress making this a lot harder for you."
Well that's considerate of him, I appreciated it.
"Ugh!" I screamed. I could feel my baby boy coming, I could feel it and it wasn't pleasant.
"Fully dilated." Was all I heard.
"Thank the good lord!" I groaned.
"Alright Bella, we need you now." Carlisle said his voice was serious, yet calm.
"Yes." I said through my teeth, as the pain rose in my body.
"When I say push you push, then breathe, you have to keep breathing."
"Alright." I nodded keeping my eyes squeezed shut.
"Push Bella."
"Ah!"
Rosalie traced circled into the back of my hand.
"Push."
"Ugh!"
"Keep breathing, relax." Rosalie kissed the back of my hand.
"One last hard push."
One more please just one more I yelled at my body. I could do this, I could get through this. Edward's right there listening to everything, and it would all be over soon. Carlisle said a few more things I couldn't catch. If it wasn't push then I wasn't listening.
"You hear that Bella?" Rose said with excitement, I nodded even though I had no idea what she was talking about.
I opened my eyes for just a moment, and the first thing I saw was green eyes. Bright green eyes. Sad green eyes watching me closely. Edward was standing by the door his eyes on my face with a painful expression. It had to be the first minute these long two hours I wasn't screaming.
"I love you." He mouthed, and I felt a tear slide down my cheek.
"Bella one last strong push." Carlisle repeated. I tore my eyes away from Edward and with all the energy I had left I pushed. The strangest muffled scream coming from my lips. I threw my head back against the pillows breathing heavy.
A high pitched cry filled the room. Only this time it didn't belong to me.
"You did it." Rosalie whispered and my eyes flew open.
"A baby girl." Carlisle smiled. And while they cut the remaining of what physically attached me to my baby, I saw her. So small and soft looking, pale like me. I was shocked half because it wasn't the little boy I was expecting, but the little girl before me was even better. More than I have ever imagined. I sat up a little straighter when they began cleaning her off, I couldn't take my eyes off her. It felt like they were hiding her from me and I was becoming impatient even though it hadn't even been a minute. They bundled her up in a white blanket, and I could hear nothing, I could see nothing but her.
"Congratulations." Carlisle said with true warmth as he placed the little girl in my arms. My eyes were wide, and I couldn't believe this angel was mine. She squirmed and kept her eyes squeezed shut. Her mouth was open as if to cry but nothing was coming out. The moment was surreal and I wasn't able to get out words, I wasn't able to ask question, I wasn't able to do anything. I wanted to say so much, I wanted to describe so many things, share all the amazing things my eyes saw at this moment. She looked healthy, brilliantly alive.
"8 months?" I murmured hardly audible, but Carlisle was standing close enough to hear my whispered words.
"You were almost to your 9th month, she is still way early but she is 7 pounds and 4 ounces. The records show she has been growing normally, and healthy." Carlisle's explanation went on but I tuned out when the baby girl squirmed in my arms again, this time to un scrunch her face and open her little eyes. She had my full undivided attention. Bright green eyes stared back at me, not focused or sharp but looking directly at me. She had her daddy's eyes, all the same brightness and all. I bit my lip to hold back what felt like tears coming, although I was sure they had already come I just had yet to realize. She had a very thin layer of brown hair, making her green eyes look even brighter. Words couldn't describe what I felt that moment.
"Mm." A strange sound escaped her lips, something like a hum, and something like a cry.
"Baby." I whispered, touching her soft nose with the tip of my finger. This was my daughter.
"Edward." I called out not hearing my voice, and not looking away from the tiny miracle bundled in my arms.
"Yes." His voice was breathless and right beside me. I had no time to be surprised by how close he was, or even think about how I hadn't noticed him come up beside me.
"Your daughter." I whispered stroking her cheek. "Your eyes."
"She's beautiful." He sounded dazed, in awe even. She squirmed in my arms and her mouth opened wide as she yawned.
"You're a daddy Edward." I smiled, raising the baby up gently so he could hold her. Carefully he wrapped his arms around her, tucking her in securely and pulling her to his chest. His eyes never left her, he never even blinked.
"We've been waiting for you." He leaned down to kiss her forehead softly.
"Is it a girl?" A very high voice squealed. My eyes went to the door way where I saw my best friend standing there looking ecstatic.
"Yes. Mary Alice." I smiled at her and held my arms out for a hug. She ran into my embrace, and began crying instantly.
"You were in so much pain, and I was so worried, and your only 8 months pregnant.." She rambled on as she cried into my shoulder.
"Sh." Edward hissed at Alice as he gripped the baby closer to him. "You'll scare her."
Alice no longer had my attention when her eyes found the baby.
"Oh my god." She put her hand over her mouth, while tears began to form again.
"You did it." Alice choked out glancing at me with wide teary eyes. "She's gorgeous."
"More than gorgeous." Rosalie rolled her eyes. I had forgotten anyone else was in the room, it was in fact not just my little family of 3, Rosalie had stayed right by me with emotional eyes, Carlisle watched with warmth in the corner, and Jasper and Emmett were now peaking in the door.
"Have you thought of names?" Alice practically bounced up and down.
"Actually.." I started looking over at Edward who looked at me with the same expression. I had been counting on Edward's name to be our boy name as well. I hadn't really thought about girl names. But I found myself feeing a lot like Alice. Excited and ecstatic.
"Emmett." Emmett coughed from the doorway.
"It's a girl Emmett." Rosalie rolled her eyes.
"I know." He nodded.
"Shut up." Alice laughed rolling her eyes.
"Jasper's parents still gave him a boy name." Emmett shrugged. At this everyone chuckled.
"Shut up." Jasper muttered under his breath slapping Emmett.
"What about Emilia?" Edward brought our little baby closer to me, both of us watching her adoringly.
"I like it." Edward breathed. "I was thinking about Alissa."
"That's pretty too." Alice sounded just as dazed.
"Emilia Alissa Candice Masen." The name just flowed out.
"Perfect." Edward placed Emilia back in my arms, but keeping his finger in her tiny palm. The room was quite as we all watched her. It was impossible to think that I could be the mother of something so perfect, or be a mother at all was insane but having Emilia here with us now made it feel so right, meant to be. And while Edward stroked the back of my hand and I lean into him lovingly as we watch Emilia in my arms nothing about this seems wrong or hard. Nothing about this seems just as bad as I thought it up. Sure I had a lot of work ahead of me but we could really do this. It was much too early to have a family but I do now, and I love them with every fiber of my being. I looked up to find Carlisle with now Esme in the corner watching Edward and I, along with everyone else.
"Want to hold her?" I asked Carlisle my smile wild and welcoming.
"No its okay." Carlisle smiled politely as if he was really just my doctor.
"Why not? You are the godfather." I smiled, and the minute he heard it he froze, the widest smile coming across his face, along with Esme, knowing this of course meant she was the god mother. I would only always allow such warm hearted people be in Emilia's life. They loved the both of us all along. Carlisle came forward to hold Emilia, and just like Edward he was sent into awe just at the sight of her.
"See I told you, you could do it." Rosalie winked at me.
"Thanks by the way. For all that." I laughed lightly.
"Anytime. But I should warn you, I might be a lot worse when it's my turn down the road with old Emmett here." Rosalie nodded once towards Emmett who was smiling a wide grin.
"I'll keep that in mind." I giggled.
"Oh Bella she's so darling." Esme gushed.
"Her dad's eyes." Alice nodded in agreement as she stood next to Edward. I saw him brighten at his new name dad.
"And I can dress her in such cute clothes!" Alice squealed and I flinched. Worries came back to me. Where do I go after this? Where do I sleep? I don't have anything for the baby yet, my baby shower was suppose to be in a week. This is where everything started getting complicating.
"What's wrong?" Alice touched my hand and Edward watched me worriedly.
"What now? I don't have anything ready for her. Or a place to stay." I frowned.
"Are you stupid Bella?" Alice asked and I flinched at her strong words.
"Wha-" She cut me off.
"My mom is way ahead of you. Don't worry about a things. We'll sort everything out when we get home with Emilia." She smiled when she said Emilia's name.
"Katherine still allows me to stay there? With the baby?"
"Of course!" Alice screeched getting another loud hush from Edward.
"You're family Bella. Practically my sister." Alice whispered incredulously.
"I heard my parents were here." I frowned remembering Rosalie saying something about it.
"They're still here, but I think they're going to wait till tomorrow to see you and meet Emilia."
"Alright, I think Bella needs some rest." Carlisle placed Emilia back in my arms.
I was at peace at once. Everyone kissed me and Edward goodbye, promising to be back in the morning and gushing over Emilia one last time.
"Don't you want to go home and change?" I asked Edward once everyone left.
"I'm not going anywhere so don't even try." He chuckled, scooting one of the chairs close to the hospital bed, then taking a seat. He leaned forward and put his finger in Emilia's tiny palm and rest his head on my side.
"I love you." Was all I said.
"I love you too."
We spent the next hour watching Emilia sleep in my arms. So peaceful, so quite, and so breathtakingly beautiful.
