Chapter Three Seth's POV

I was patrolling when Jacob phased into a wolf, so I heard his thoughts. He was going to see Sam.

I'm coming Jacob! Leah said and started to join him.

No Leah. You stay here. Protect Renesmee and everyone. Jacob ordered lightly, just enough to show authority but not enough to force her to follow it.

Why do I have to protect bloodsuckers and their spawn? Leah asked bitterly. I saw through Jacob's thoughts that he had stopped short.

Because you crossed the line when you spoke to Bella. Because you need to make it up to them. I'm glad that you feel somewhat protective of me… but that doesn't mean you can yell at a pregnant woman. Even though I don't love Bella anymore…doesn't mean I'll put up with that.

I was very confused at this point, and Leah was so confused she stopped running. What do you mean you don't love Bella anymore?

I love her…but the way it's supposed to be. I imprinted on Renesmee… Bella's daughter.

Leah froze then started laughing in her head…very loudly. Good job Jacob! Imprinting on the enemies offspring… can you imagine the stories that you'll tell your kids? Well son… I first loved your grandma but when I saw your mother I was completely devoted to her… nice Jacob.

Leah…shut up. Anyway, I have to go talk to Sam. You guys get back to your normal human selves while I talk to him. I'm going to see if we can talk to him now through my thoughts… and I don't want you guys listening in.

I sighed but followed his orders. Thankfully I was close to the Cullen house so I could just walk over. When I got in I heard Rosalie and Alice arguing quietly to each other. Sorry, not each other but with Edward upstairs while they were down here.

"Come on Edward, I'm sure Renesmee will love it! Not that I would know since I can't see her!" Alice was being her normal loud self. I could faintly hear Edward's response with my human ears.

"No! I will not have a Mini-Alice as a daughter. It just isn't right!"

Rosalie laughed at the little baby she was holding, who had her hand on Rosalie's face. "Come on Edward! Renesmee says that she wants to!"

"Renesmee says she wants to? She's a baby, she can't talk!" I spoke, incredulous. Rosalie and Alice turned and looked at me, like they didn't realize I was here.

"Well, she can't talk but she can communicate." Alice said, like that would explain everything. I gave her a look that I used to give my history teacher. One of pure confusion.

"Explain please?" I asked and she laughed.

"Let Seth hold Renesmee, Rosalie." Alice said, gesturing to me. I backed up slowly, hands out in front of me.

"That's not a good idea. I've never held a baby in my life. I'll drop her."

Rosalie rolled her eyes at me as she came towards me. "She's part vampire. She won't break like a vase or anything. She's also growing rather quickly."

So that's how I got to holding Renesmee as Alice went upstairs to argue with Edward about the importance of teaching them good fashion sense now… Renesmee gave me a rather mature look for a baby. It was of understanding. She placed her hand on my face and I saw a vision of Jacob. I gasped and looked at her.

"You're looking for Jacob?" I asked, unsure. So she showed me another vision of Jacob. I almost got a sense of territory from her. "Sorry Renesmee, he's talking to Sam right now. Sam's the other big wolf leader."

Rosalie came and started playing with Renesmee's hair softly. "Isn't she cute?"

"Yeah, she is." I agreed. "She got Bella's eyes huh? Speaking of which, how's Bella doing?"

Rosalie sighed as she took Renesmee back from me. "She's good. Not screaming out in pain or anything. She's just…laying there. It's really strange."

Just then Emmett came walking in with Jasper. The big guy's eyes widened at the baby Rosalie was holding. "We missed the blood and gore? Sweet!" He,then picked the baby up and held her high up in the air. Two seconds later Renesmee was back in Rosalie's arms and Emmett was wincing and holding his head.

"NEVER do that again! She's still a baby for Pete's sake!" The blonde now has her usual scowl as she held Renesmee protectively away from Emmett. I hide my grin as I settled down on the couch. It's been a rather long shift and it's catching up with me. Emmett put on a sheepish smile.

"So what's her name?"

"Renesmee… Edelle's upstairs."

Emmett's eyes bulged then he grinned a little wickedly. "So there are two babies to play with? Nice!"

Jasper tilted his head, listened, and then grinned. "So Alice wants to take the babies shopping?"

Rosalie nodded. "She looked up some fabulous shops that have designer baby clothes and decided that Bella would love to see her babies all dressed up at first glance."

I stared at her. "But Bella hates dressing up herself…why would she want her babies dressed up?"

She shrugged. "I don't understand Alice's logic… other than that she just got a lot of money from a stock she had for years, and has decided she wants to spend it on the girls."

I shook my head. "Doesn't she get huge benefits courtesy of the stock market every day?"

"Yeah… but this time she is using it as an excuse to bring the girls to the mall."

Carlisle came downstairs, his face worried. Rosalie noticed. "What's wrong Carlisle?"

"The girls are big… a little too big to be considered newborns. I just measured Edelle, who's three pounds over the heaviest new born. May I measure Renesmee please?"

Rosalie was silent as she handed Carlisle the baby. "So if they are growing too quickly… what's going to happen."

Carlisle took out his measuring tape. "I don't know. Remember, I don't know any cases about this. Normally when Vampires have intercourse with humans… it's just a thing before the meal."

I looked at them feeling slightly confused, but then understood. "So you guys think that Renesmee and Edelle will have a very short life…they won't be immortal?"

"We don't know Seth. I plan to concentrate on research… " Carlisle said as he handed back Renesmee to Rosalie, having finished his measurements. He then headed to his office and Alice came down, her eyes blank as she searched the future.

"This sucks! I can't see them… it's like they're part werewolf." Alice muttered as she grabbed Renesmee from Rosalie. "I'm sorry sunshine… Edward doesn't want us to go shopping until Bella is awake. He doesn't think its fair if other people see you guys before Bella even sees you." She cooed then handed the baby back to Rosalie, wincing. "It gets worse when I hold her. I can't even see my own future when I hold her."

"Understandable." Rosalie replied with a slight grin. I'm guessing that she's just happy for the excuse of holding Renessemee longer. "We can take pictures! She can be the first Cullen to have a full set of photographs still."

Alice visibly brightened up. "Sounds good! I'll bring down Edelle too!" She said then hurried upstairs. Emmett reached for Renesmee again.

"I promise Rose… I'll be careful." He said, but Rosalie handed the baby to Jasper.

"You can try again tomorrow Emmett, but Jasper hasn't had a chance to hold her." She said.

"She smells tasty…" Jasper said quietly, causing us to stare at him. I guess he felt our disbelief because without missing a beat he explained, "In a good way. The vampire in her dilutes her human blood."

Emmett laughed. "Dude, you scared me for a moment! I was thinking we should have a bet going on how long it'd take for you to take a bite out of her… you didn't last too long with Bella as a human…"

Jasper gave him a glare. "One… that sentence doesn't make much sense… and two… shut up Emmett."

Renesmee laughed and placed her hand on Jasper's face. He looked at her in surprise and grinned. "Good idea Renesmee!"

"What?" Emmett looked a little irked. Jasper just grinned.

"She was showing me the memory of Rosalie smacking you." Jasper said. I looked at the clock. It's been about forty-five minutes since Jacob went to talk to Sam… did he run into trouble? Or were they catching up?

I was contemplating this when Alice came down with Edelle. "She's ready!" She said happily. I looked up, and all I could do was stare.

(Alice's POV)

I stared at Seth, who was staring at Edelle with a really weird face. Then I noticed that Rosalie had the same look. "What?"

Seth bit his lip, trying not to laugh. "May I ask why Edelle looks like a cupcake?"

I looked at him, offended. "It's a designer outfit! What's wrong with it?"

Rosalie answered for him. "That outfit has more ruffles then a petticoat Alice! She's swimming in it…literally."

I took a closer look at the outfit, trying to find out what they found so offensive. It was a blue long-sleeved dress. The skirt of it had a few ruffles, while the shirt had a little lace here and there. "There is nothing wrong with it!"

Seth rolled his eyes. "If you're deciding to play life sized barbies, I'm outta here." He left, followed by Emmett and Jasper, who were betting on who would get to decide who wore the clothes. The future wasn't looking good in my favour, but I'm sure I can change that.

"Rosalie…" I started, but Rosalie interrupted me.

"Alice, change her out of that! Not only is it inhumane to put her in that, but Bella will kill you when she sees the pictures! Literally…especially since she'll have that newborn rage going on."

I waved away her concerns, but Edelle decided to wake up. She took one look at what she was wearing compared to Renesmee and started crying. Loudly.

"Good job Alice." Rosalie said with a sigh and switched me babies. She whipped the outfit off of Edelle and instantly Edelle stopped crying. Rosalie went upstairs to put her in some better clothes.

"That baby has no taste!" I proclaimed loudly. Renesmee looked at me and placed her hand on my face. I got a picture of her wearing that dress, but I got a very distinct impression she didn't want it on either. I ignored that though, "You want the dress on Renessemee?"

"Don't even THINK about it Alice!" Edward called from upstairs. I scowled. If I wasn't allowed to dress them, what could I do? Rosalie came back down with Edelle in a pair of purple pants and a blue t-shirt so the twins were matching.

"That's not even cute Rosalie!" I protested.

"It's practical. Babies spit up and drool… you wouldn't want your designer clothes to get ruined would you?" Rosalie asked and I frowned. I hadn't thought about that.

"Aren't babies just mini grown-ups?" I asked and she laughed.

"Are you kidding me? Probably not… but no Alice, they're not. They are cute and adorable…and messy." Rosalie told me. I then preceded to hand her Renesmee then headed upstairs. Rosalie called after me, "What's wrong Alice?"

"If their messy… I have to change my outfit. This is one of a kind you know!" I said before heading into my room.
