The tunnel was finished early Friday afternoon, but the grand opening was not going to be until the next day. Everyone went home to shower and get ready for the party at the Cullen house. Charline had taken Cosette out shopping so she could have something new to wear as well. She couldn't afford the kind of dress Bella had gotten, but she had a very pretty white one with lots of lace and some ruffles on the skirt. They walked to the street where the Cullens lived, and Cosette was amazed at how lovely that part of town was. Then she noticed Marius, and blushed a lot. Bella gave her a shove in his general direction, and went to find Edward.

She noticed that Lorraine and Jessique had arrived. Jessique was making out with Michel Neuton in a garden swing. Alice was walking hand in hand with Jasper, laughing and being happy. Eponine was there too. She had dressed up in a short, black goth dress and combat boots, and wore too much black eyeliner. Emmet was tending the bar. Enjolras and Combeferre were there too, but they were too busy talking seriously about politics, it didn't even look like they were having any fun.

She found Edward in a room that was made to look like a garden. There were even real trees in it. Carlisle had used special green house lights to make them grow. In the middle of the garden there was a fountain that looked like a wishing well, surrounded by pink roses. The roses were not real, she noted sadly. She sat down next to Edward on a secluded bench behind a lot of ivy. They kissed passionately.

Meanwhile, Cosette was having a really good time talking to Marius. They had been mingling with the other guests for a while, had shrimp sandwhiches and lemon bars, and attended a screening of Coraline in the cinema room. Then they had danced slowly for hours. Cosette noticed that Eponine was giing her dirty looks, but she didn't care. She was the pretty one now. Not that Eponine was all that pretty. She was really skinny and looked like she had annarexia. And her hair was a dull colour.

Bella and Edward decided to go back to the party and talk to their friends for a bit. They got strawberry daquiries from the bar, and sat down with Jasper and Alice. Suddenly Jessique and Michél Neutron came up to the bar.

"Can you make me a Blue Hawaii?" she asked Emmett snootishly.

"We don't have anything blue," Emmett said. "But I can make you a Mai-Tai or a Cosmo."

Jessique snorted. "Did I ask for a Mai-Tai or a Cosmo?" she asked drunkenly. "No, I did not. I asked you for a [she swore a lot here] Blue Hawaii. If you can't make that, then this place sucks! Come on, Michél. We're going to a proper bar!"

At the same time, James and Monty were making themselves at home in the Cullens' house, and they were in Carlisle's lab.

"Look at all these bottles!" said Monty. "I wonder what is in them."

"I wonder what happens if someone drinks it," James said. "That would be very interesting."

"Yeah, let's make them a special coctail!" said Monty with an evil grin.

James grabbed a bottle of something blue from a shelf. "This should spice up the party a bit..."

Jessique was dragging Mitch towards the door, when she noticed the big punch bowl with the intriguing blue liquid content. "That mutt said they had nothing blue!" she said triumphantly. "Shows that he is so not a pro bartender!" She poured a glass of the punch and took a deep sip. "Ooooh, tingly! Here, Mitch. You have one too. Oh! Tee hee hee, let's go find a room..."

In the garden, Cosette and Marius were walking hand in hand. Cosette couldn't remember ever having been so happy or so in love in her entire life. Now that she had finally admitted her feelings for him, it was like nobody could tear them apart. But she had to be sure.

"Marius," she asked, "do you like Eponine?"

"I think she is a sweet girl," said Marius, "but she is a little messed up. I have never had any romantic feelings for her, but I do feel a little bit sorry for her. Her parents are trashy and never cared that she ever got an education. She works in that cloth factory every day."

"Yeah, and she writes really terrible True Blood fanfiction!" said Cosette. "She can't even spell properly, and she ships Eric and Sookie!"

Bella, Edward, Alice and Jasper were in the film room watching scary movies. Alice was a proper horror fan, because her parents had a lot of them on DVD. Now they were watching The Village. Suddenly they heard a terrible scream rip through the whole house.

"Aaaaaaahg! It huuuuuuuuurts! Heeeeelp meeeeeeee!"

They all ran into the living room. Jessique came running down the hallway, flailing wildly. She was butt nekkid and swelling up like a balloon!

"Go get dad!" Edward screamed to Jasper.

Alice found a dressing gown and put it around Jessique. They helped her over to a sofa. Carlisle and Esme came running.

"What has happened?" Carlisle asked. "Where does it hurt?"

"My stomach!" Jessique moaned. "I drank something blue, and then I got sick."

"Something blue?" Carlisle asked in horror. "Jessique, you need to tell me this. Have you had sex?"

"What does THAT have to do with anything?" Jessique squealed, blushing very red. Then a lot of water started dripping down the sofa.

"It was a pregnancy potion," Carlisle explained calmly. I have made it so that vampires can have babies. It seems alcohol speeds up the process, because that was your water that just broke."

"Whaaaaaat?" Jessique screamed. "I don't want to! OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!"

"The baby is coming!" said Carlisle. "Everyone out of the room!"

They all waited anxiously outside as they heard Jessique scream and beg for mercy.

"At least now we know it works," Jasper said.

"Yeah!" said Alice. "Now you can have babies too, Esme. Just like you always have wanted!"

Esme hugged Jasper and Alice, and started sobbing happily. Carlisle came out the door, holding a baby. "It's a boy!" he said.

"Awwww!" said all the girls. The baby was so cute. It looked like Mitch, who would have been cute if he hadn't been so dumb, but it had curly blonde hair and green eyes like Jessique.

"Edward," said Carlisle. "I think you should go get Mitch and tell him he's a dad."

"I think he has passed out," Edwards said. "Come on, Jasper. We better carry him in here so he can be with his family when he wakes up.

"I will drive you girls home," said Esme. "Come, Bella and Cosette."

"Isn't Alice going home?" Bella asked. She lives just down the street and around the corner from us."

"No," said Esme. "We are going to adopt Alice. She is not happy at home, and her parents are only watching TV all day. It's much better for her to stay here with us, so she can be close to Jasper and read good books."

Esme drove them home. It was René who answered the door, and Bella was glad to see that he was not in wolf form. She was so happy for Alice, who was getting a great new family, and for Esme who could have the babies she had always wanted.
