Okay, so packing for me alone was hard enough but packing for Anthony too was much harder. We had to pack practically everything. Bottles,Nappies,Clothes,Formula,Pram,Moses basket,Car seat, Cuddly things for him. Loads of things. I don't see why the Denali's Can't come down here, they know that it's going to be hard travelling with Anthony.
Edward had already packed the pram and Moses basket in the back of the car, so at least something was done. I continued to pack the suitcase with Anthony's clothes and other stuff he would need, I had him laid on the bed with a pillow either side of him so he wouldn't roll off the bed, he had his hands in his mouth and was gurgling to himself. I looked over the suitcase and then around the room,debating whether or not I had everything. I decided I had and closed the suitcase as Edward walked in.
"I think I have everything" I said, standing up. He smiled and walked over to me. "Why do we have to travel there, it's harder for us to do it now with Anthony"I whined. He put his arms around my waist and moved some hair behind my ear.
"I don't know, it was Carlisle's idea" He said. I sighed and leaned into him, resting my head on his shoulder. I turned my head slowly and kissed his neck, slowly trailing them towards his jaw, I stood on my tip toes and made to kiss his lips when he pulled me closer and brought my mouth to his. His tongue trailed along my bottom lip, asking for entrance, I of course obliged. Our tongues searched each others and we pulled apart when we heard Anthony scream and coo at the same time. We turned slowly to see what he was doing and he was looking at the ceiling smiling widely. I looked up and laughed, he was looking at the light on the ceiling that had reflected off of my ring. I made my way over to the bed and kneeled over him smiling and cooing.
"He's such a mummy's boy, I hope when we have a girl she'll be a daddy's girl" Edward said, sitting next to me and tickling Anthony's feet, making him squeal with laughter.
I turned to face him smiling slightly. "Your already planning for another?" I asked coyly.
"Of course I am, and don't say your not either" He said chuckling and tilting my head with his finger.
I laughed and looked at him again. "Well, of course I want another but I didn't think you would already be planning another" I said smiling. He smiled and kissed me softly. He turned his attention back to Anthony and started cooing, Anthony replied just the same and they were then having a conversation, with Edward often replying with. "Did she really" and then look at me or "Did you". I laughed and watched them 'converse' with one another.
The drive down to Alaska was torturous, it was so boring. Obviously I couldn't get up and walk around so I settled for reading a book...but once I'd finished that I actually had nothing to do. I turned around in my seat to see what Anthony was doing, he was fast asleep in the car seat, I watched him sleeping.
"Have you noticed that he's actually really chubby" I chuckled. "It's like we put him in a grow bag and haven't stopped feeding him"
Edward turned his head and laughed. "Well, now that you mention it, yeah he is" He said, chuckling. He turned back to face the road. Rosalie, Emmett,Jasper and Alice had all sped off without us, they hated driving under 100 Mph but because we have Anthony we have to slow down a little. Mum and Dad were a little ahead of us and with us now being on a deserted motorway in the country side, we could drive however fast we liked. They decided to stay close in case we needed dad for anything, like if something was wrong with Anthony.
I turned back around in my seat and Edward took hold of my hand and held it over the gear shift. I leaned my head back on the seat and realised I was actually quite tired, I closed my eyes and fell into a peaceful sleep.
"Bella" "Bella" I heard. Slowly opening my eyes I saw Edward leaning in through the passenger side door.
"Were here" He said. Geese I'd slept the whole way here. I sat up and stretched my arms before getting out of the Volvo. I looked around and nothing had changed, it was all still the same as when we had come here when I was younger. Sadly, usually when we used to come Carmen was never here, I love Carmen she's like a second mother while Kate was like Alice's sister. Identical, they both loved shopping and squealed whenever something good happened.
Next to me I saw Alice's Porsche, Rosalie's M3 and Dads Mercedes. I heard Edward open the boot of the car and start to take out the suitcases, pram and Moses basket. I knew we couldn't carry it all in along with Anthony so we had to get help.
"Emmett, Jazz" I shouted, knowing they would hear. I saw the front door open and out the two came.
"Could you help us take some things in please?" I asked, they nodded and took the suitcases, 2 of them being Alice's anyway because they wouldn't fit in her car. Edward took in the pram and Moses basket while I took Anthony and the nappy bag. We walked up the steps and through the front door. Carmen and everyone was stood waiting for us. Carmen and Kate came over and hugged me.
"Bella, you've changed so much" Carmen said, Baring in mind the last time she had seen me I was 13. She looked at Anthony who was looking around himself, trying to figure out where we were.
"Oh, he's such a cutie" She said, taking his hand into hers and smiling at him. She then noticed that Emmett, Jasper and Edward were still holding all the things.
"Oh Edward, you lot can take the stuff upstairs, you and Bella are in the room you normally use" Edward nodded and he, Emmett and Jasper made there way up the stairs. We all walked into the living room that had been re-painted. I sat down on one of the sofa's and held Anthony in my lap. It was about a second later that the boys were back and sat next to their mates.
"So Bella, does he have any powers?" Of course Eleazar asked. I shook my head laughing.
"no, thank goodness."
"Only you Eleazar would ask that question" Jasper said, laughing from his seat next to Alice.
"Well I was curious" He defended himself, making us all laugh while Anthony chewed on his hand. I saw Tanya staring at Edward with a look of wanting in her eyes. I'd have to watch her. Her eyes sudden;y went to me and seeing me watching her turned her eyes in another direction. Everyone started talking in there own little groups. Carmen and Kate were asking me about how life with a baby was and were just asking genuine stuff about him. They kept teasing Mum about how she was a 'young' grandma. We all laughed at that knowing she was quite a bit older than she looked.
"So Bella, Anthony is 7 months?" Tanya asked. I shook my head and corrected her.
"No, he's 3 months" I didn't like the way this was going and in my stomach I felt uneasy.
"He's big for his age then, chubby" she said. I nodded and picked up the drink that I had been given and taking a sip of it. It was wine so I was told to only sip it. I looked at the clock and it read 7:00 pm.
"Must get it from you then" She said, I could see the smirk on her face. I saw everyone looking at either me or Tanya. I said nothing but took another sip of my wine. I didn't know what to say and the moment was awkward. I placed Anthony down next to me so he was sat up straight against the back of the sofa. Nobody said anything for a moment and when Tanya went to speak again, I stood up quickly putting my drink on the floor and ran. I ran to the front door and opened it, before slamming it again. Not knowing what I should do. I heard them all say that Tanya should apologise to me. I heard her stand and start to walk over to me, she came out of the room and saw me standing there with my back against the wall.
"Bella" She started. I shook my head and ran away, I ran up the stairs and into one of the bathrooms. Locking it from the inside. I sat on the toilet with the lid down and cried into my hands.
She started apologising to me through the door. I could hear the others outside now too, I only knew the others were there because I could hear them whispering slightly and could hear Anthony gurgling. She kept saying she didn't mean it.
"I don't want your apology you old cow!" I said. I heard Emmett start laughing. Thwack! Rosalie had obviously hit him. She didn't say anything else but I heard footsteps walking away.
"Bella Love, Will you come out please" Edward begged, I sniffed and stood up looking in the mirror. I wiped away the mascara that had run down my face, I only ever wore mascara so now there was nothing. I walked over to the door and opened it, revealing Edward stood with Anthony on his hip. He smiled sadly at me and came forwards giving me a one armed hug. I sniffed into his shoulder.
"Hey, how about we go to the room?" He asked. I nodded my head and we walked to the bedroom together. He opened the door and we walked through. I remembered the room, when we used to visit, I'd sneak out of my bed and come sleep in here...with Edward, of course not in the sense we had sex because I was like 7 years old. I walked over to the bed and laid down with my eyes closed, sighing heavily and shakily. I felt the bed dip next to me and felt tiny hands land on my stomach. I opened my eyes and saw Anthony with his hands and head rested on my belly. I smiled at him and lifted him up to lay on my chest, I kissed the top of his head and turned to Edward.
"Am I-"
"No, your not. Tanya was way out" He said, caressing the side of my face.
"But when I looked in the mirror, I remembered what I used to look like and I am fatter than what I was" I said, my voice shaking again.
"Bella, you had a baby three months ago of course your going to be a little bigger than you were before. Don't let anyone make you think your fat because your not" He said, his voice full of authority. I sighed and nodded my head, although still thinking of what she had said. He smiled a small smile and lent down to kiss me which I gladly accepted. We pulled apart and heard a small gurgle. I looked down and saw he had drooled all over the front of my shirt.
"Ew" I said, lifting him up so he couldn't do it any more. I laughed with Edward as I sat up right. Edward climbed off the bed and over to one of the suitcases and got out a pair of pyjama's for me, a pair for Anthony and out of another he got some ready made baby formula and put it in a bottle before passing me everything. I made a start at feeding Anthony while Edward set up his Moses basket. He drank it fast and when I burped him, lucky me he brought some of it back up...all over my shoulder.
"Ew...again" I said, laughing. Edward took Anthony off me and started rocking him to sleep while I put on a pair of pyjama's . When i'd finished putting on my pyjama's, washing my face and brushing my teeth. I climbed into bed next to Edward. Anthony was asleep in the Moses basket and I was cuddled up to Edward who had his arms around my waist.
Of course i've gained weight I've just had a baby, And it's only my arms,face and thighs that are meatier now. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks but myself...and maybe Edward. Teehee.
