AN: Heyy :D
If you're thinking "Wtf, newborns can't smile!"... well, remember Renesmee. Nuff said basically ^-^ I'm seeing Eclipse on the 3rd of July, because unfortunately in England it comes out on the 9th of July, but at Cineworld there's a special preview on the saturday before so I'm going then :D can't wait.
I actually hate being a teenager, it's the worst time ever. Partly because most friendships seem like they're on the rocks (I assume I'm using thay saying right?), and things are messed up! Mentioning no names.
Chapter 8: Innocence
(Alec POV)
I kept Elizabeth close to me. She was quiet for a newborn. She wasn't sleeping, she had her chocolate brown eyes wide open taking in her new surroundings. I felt so happy I was finally holding her. Sam had stopped screaming, but she was still days away from changing. I looked at Elizabeth with adoration, just as her small face looked up at me. She smiled, which made me light up inside. "Hey there, cutie." I said to her.
"Hey Alec," I turned and saw Luke stood at the couch, "How's my niece?"
I smiled, "Fine, she's wonderful."
"Can I hold her?"
I nodded, "Of course."
I gently handed her to Luke, she kept her eyes locked on me. "Hi Elizabeth, I'm your uncle... not much I know, but I'll be an awesome one." I chuckled, then he looked up at me "I'm sorry I've been... awful towards you, it's just I've been worried about Sam, I mean with my Mom's pregnancy nearly killing her, I thought that Sam's would be the same and... I couldn't lose my little sister, not after everything that's happened." He sighed.
"I understand, and it's okay." I told him "Just being a brother."
"Can you imagine what my Dad would of been like?" We both laughed, but it alarmed Elizabeth.
Luke handed her back to me, "It's okay Hun." I whispered to her, kissing her head.
The front door suddenly flew open, revealing Bella and the Cullens. "Sam? Where is she Luke?" She screamed.
"Mom, she's fine... well..." He bit his lip.
"What do you mean 'well'?" She asked in anger.
"Alec changed her." He said.
"He changed her! Wh-" I stood up, and her stare diverted down to Elizabeth. "Is that... the baby?"
"Meet your granddaughter, Elizabeth Rosa Volturi." I smiled.
"She's beautiful." She said with adoration in her voice. She stepped forward, "May I?" She asked, lifting her arms out to hold her. I handed her over gently.
Bella let out a light gasp, "She looks just like Sam."
"Doesn't she?" I smiled. "She's perfect, like her Mother.
"Yeah." She breathed. Elizabeth lifted her gaze to Bella, "Hello Elizabeth." She whispered, it made Elizabeth smile. Bella was lost for words, she just stared at Elizabeth in awe. "I just can't believe that..."
"Neither can I," She looked up at me "it hasn't really sunk in yet." I chuckled, she cracked a smile.
Suddenly Alice, Esme and Rosalie peeked their heads over Bella's shoulder, "Aww!" They all said in unison. "She's so adorable." Alice squealed, making Elizabeth look at me in alarm as she started whimpering. I saw small tears start to trickle down her cheeks.
"Alec." Bella said, handing Elizabeth back. I cooed her unaware of the others watching. Esme chuckled,
"How long has she been born, a few hours and you're already a natural." She smiled. I glanced up at her, she was looking at Elizabeth "She's a proper little Daddy's girl." I knew what she meant, Elizabeth'seyes were on me permanently.
"I'm going to see Sam." Bella said, she was up the stairs in an instant.
Bella POV
I entered Sam's room, she was lying on the bed completely still. It broke my heart. I sat on the bed, and began stroking her hand. "Hey Sam, it's Mom." I said, not expecting a reaction or response. "I know you can hear me, I should know because of when I was changing. You try so hard to answer someone back and you just can't." I felt a dry sob coming, but I tried ignoring it. "Your daughter, Elizabeth... she's something, Sam. She looks so much like you, she's so beautiful. When I held her I pretended she was you, because I never got the chance to hold you when you were born."
I looked around her's and Alec's room, it was full of photos of her and Alec, and they'd framed the first ultrasound picture. I smiled, and turned to Sam again.
"I'm so sorry for how I've acted these past few months, you got me so worried. When you found out you were pregnant, I was... devastated, not at the idea of the baby, it was because I thought I might lose you, I've already lost your Father." I sighed.
I left her room, and went down to the living room.
"LET ME HOLD HER, EMMETT!" Alice screamed.
"YOU'VE HAD YOUR TURN!" He shouted back.
"STOP SHOUTING!" I yelled, they stopped and looked at me. "You're scaring Elizabeth." They looked at her, her eyes were filled with tears. Emmett gave her to Alec, where Elizabeth immediately looked happier.
I wasn't surprised they were arguing over who holds her, because like me, they missed their chances to do that with Sam and Luke, and regretted it.
Alice knelt down to Elizabeth, "Sorry for scaring you, Lizzie." Alice said in a baby voice. When did they start calling her Lizzie?
"How's she feeling, Jasper?" Alec asked.
"Happy... no, amused and ecstatic by Alice." He laughed.
I promise I'll have Marcus in next chapter. And didn't you shed a tear when Bella was talking to Sam, especially when she mentioned Edward :') Anyway, review? x
