I was absolutely right. Renee went crazy when I told her. I was wrong thinking she would be mad that I ruined my life. She was really upset that I waited so long to tell her. She went into a ramble about renting a place and coming to Forks. Even though I would love having my mother around I knew that it would be hard on her and Phil. I told her to wait until I was closer to having the baby, that way she could be around to enjoy it. She argued a little then agreed. She warned me that she would be calling every few days to make sure we wouldn't forgot to call her when I went into labor.

School continued to be rough. People stared and asked questions. Edward actually got so sick of Jessica that he told her to go far away and stay there. She started crying as soon as we walked away. I would have felt bad but she was making me crazy. I only had one day to go before the ultrasound and I was getting more and more nervous. I wanted to know what the baby was but I didn't want to find out that something was wrong. Edward was going to be the only one going with me, I swore that I would get the whole thing recorded so our family could see too. Obviously Carlisle would be the one doing the ultrasound so he would see it all. Thursday flew by. Before I knew it Edward was helping me out of the car at the hospital. Carlisle was all ready for us.

"Ready for the big moment?"

"I think so."

I took a deep breath. Carlisle squirted the gel on my stomach and moved the small ultrasound piece around. Edward held my hand while we looked at the screen. It was all black and white and confusing. I had no idea what I was looking at. He moved it around more and stopped. My breath caught in my lungs. Edward squeezed my hand. On the screen was a tiny gray head. You could plainly see the profile of the face. Tiny lips and a nose. It moved and opened its little mouth. Wow. It was beautiful.

"I think it has your nose Bella."

I looked up at Edward.

"You think?"

"I'm going to check a few things. All part of the process. Then we can check the sex and print some pictures if you would like."

"Of course."

We watched as he checked the heart, the blood flow from the placenta, and the various bones. Everything checked out. Our baby was perfect. Bigger than usual for its age but that didn't mean much considering its father was a vampire. Finally Carlisle paused.

"Want to know the sex?"

Edward smiled and I nodded.

"Alright lets have a look."

I had no idea what I was looking at. All I could see were the babies legs.

"I don't know how you can tell what it is. I don't see anything."

"That's because there's nothing to see Bella. It's a girl."

"A girl?"

Edward kissed my head.

"A girl."

Edward called his family to let them know. He drove me to the police station so I could tell Charlie. He actually had to sit down. He just kept saying "granddaughter" over and over again. Renee was ecstatic. She started talking about dresses and tons of other things. I had to work for half an hour to get off the phone. I still couldn't believe I was going to have a daughter. I imagined a little girl with bronze colored hair running around. I hoped she would take after Edward. I wanted her to have the perfection of her vampire father. Her skin would be perfect and pale. I wondered if she would glitter in the sun. Edward hadn't said much. He just smiled while I rambled about all these things. Then he surprised me.

"What should we name her?"

"Uh…I don't know…I hadn't really thought about that."

"It should be something original since she is one of a kind."

"Yeah…hmm."

I suddenly realized that I had no idea where we were going.

"Edward what are we doing?"

"Esme and my sisters have a surprise for you."

"What kind of surprise?"

"Well they had a few things they bought for you."

"What about the baby shower?"

"Don't worry, there are still a lot of things that we're going to need. That's what the shower is for."

"Oh. Okay…"

Alice was bouncing on the porch when we arrived. She practically dragged me into the house. Esme and Rosalie were standing at the top of the stairs waiting. We went down the hall to Edwards room. That's not where they were taking me though. There was a door just to the side of Edwards that I had never been in. Esme smiled.

"Here you go Bella. Please open the door."

I hated them all looking at me so I just opened the door. I didn't make it very far in though. I stopped dead. The room in front of me was amazing. The back wall was all class like the rest of the house. The walls were painted white and pink with flowers and designs on them. A large wood crib was the at the center of the room. It was covered in pink bedding. There was a large vanity/dresser that took up the entire left wall. A changing table was closest to me. It was wood like the crib. There were diapers and other changing items stacked neatly on its shelves. There were butterflies and little pink birds hanging from the ceiling. I couldn't believe how beautiful it all was. Edward wiped away tears that I didn't know had fallen.

"They had everything ready for either sex. Alice couldn't tell because it wasn't a decision. As soon as Alice saw us find out they got to work. What do you think?""I think its perfect. I…mean…wow."

"Oh and I'd like you to come to my room, I want to show you something."

I managed to tear my eyes away from the room. When we got out into the hall I noticed everyone was gone. Edward opened the door to his room and I was shocked again. It was entirely different. There was a large king size bed now. A book self and dressers were now in the room. It looked like…

"Did you change this for me?"

"Did you think we got the baby a room and not you?"

"Charlie wont…"

"I already talked to him love. He doesn't mind you living here as long as you visit a lot. He made that very clear."

"We're all going to live together?"

"If you would like. I wanted us to be a family."

"I would love to live here. Its like a dream."

We decided that I would continue living with Charlie until the baby was born. He didn't see a reason for me to leave yet. When I got home from Edwards house that night be had a few of his own surprises for me. He had bought a small white bassinet and a little pink dresser. He said it was for when we came to visit or if I ever wanted him to baby sit. It made me cry. He was being so great. It was more than I could have asked for. I waited in the hall while he climbed up into the attic and got down some of my old baby things. Renee hadn't had anywhere to store them when I got older so she gave it all to Charlie. They were too sentimental to get rid of the stuff. Guess that was a good thing now. There were several boxes of baby clothes and a lot of toys. We even found the mobile that used to hang on my crib. Charlie felt bad that he had sold my crib. It was fine with me, I loved the bassinet.

"Its crazy to think that you used to be this small."

Charlie held up a pink infant body suit. It had little ruffles along the back.

"I still remember it though. Now look at you. All grown up and having your own little girl."

"Dad I'm hardly all grown up.""Bella you were grown up 5 years ago."

We laughed together.

"So do you think you'll enjoy living with Edwards family?""I think so. I mean I'll have lots of people willing to take care of the baby any time I have to do something. Esme cant have children and the others are too young so they are really excited."

"I thought the 2 older ones were in collage?"

"They are but they don't want to have kids until after they graduate."

"That's probably a good idea. You know you cant still go to collage if you want. Like you said, there are plenty of people to watch her."

"I know, I do still want to go I just might wait a year or so."

"I have money put back for you when you do go. Waiting a year will give me some more time to put back money."

"Dad I don't want your money. I'll take care of it."

He just sighed at me and continued digging through the boxes. I washed all the baby clothes before dinner and put them all away afterwards. I sat alone in my room staring at the bassinet. It was so simple but at the same time it was something so monumental. In a few months there would be a baby sleeping there. She would be wearing those tiny clothes. Wow. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't see my window open. I jumped when Edward wrapped his arms around me.

"That's nice of Charlie to get you those things."

"Yeah but I wont really use them long.""You don't have to stay with me all the time. You can come stay here anytime you want to love."

"But I always want to be with you."

He kissed me.

"And with the rate that Abigail is growing, she wont fit in there for long.""Abigail?"

"I've just been thinking of names. Do you not like that one?""Not really.""Well tell me what you like then."

"Hmm. I think I like…Vanessa."

"No, I knew a vampire named Vanessa, she was very unpleasant."

"Okay…"

"How about Lindsey?"

"That's not bad."

"I also like Melody."

"Ew no."

"So far the only one we both like is Lindsey."

"Yeah I think so, what about a middle name?"

"It should something short…hmm."

We both sat for a moment. What went well with Lindsey?

"How about Marie, like you?"

"Or Anne since your middle name is Anthony."

"That's very clever Bella."

"Its been known to happen."

"Lindsey Marie Cullen. Lindsey Anne Cullen."

"I like Anne.""Well I picked her first name so I guess we go with Anne."

"You don't like it?"

"Of course I do. Oh I'm sorry Bella, I didn't even think about her last name."

"Huh?"

"I said Cullen. I should have thought to ask you if you were going to give her your name or mine."

"You're her father Edward, why wouldn't her name be Cullen?"

"Well we aren't married."

"That doesn't matter to me. I want her to have your last name.""Then its settled. Her name will be Lindsey Anne Cullen.""Sounds good."
