Sorry its only little but I had a small operation today – nothing serious – and the sedatives have sent me on a completely crazy 12 hours. In fact I saw a cow standing in my back garden...

Chapter 19 – Thats My Baby

"Excited?" Edward asked Bella with grin so wide she was surprised he wasn't in pain. She looked down at the tiny bump just starting to push against her blue t-shirt.
"Nervous." She said truthfully. Although she was looking forward to Motherhood the prospect still scared her and once she saw her little one it would stop feeling almost like a dream. Edward nodded giving her hand a soft squeeze.
"Isabella Swan?" The nurse called into the hallway before spotting her patient and smiling "Come on in." Just as she was about to ask for a few more minutes the cavalry arrived.
"Traffic." Carlisle apologised to his son as both Esme and Jasper rushed into the room behind Bella. The nurse blinked before a smile spread across her face; it was a joy to see a whole family so excited over the prospect of a new life.

"Ready to see your baby?" Natalie, the nurse, asked poised to press the scanner to Bella's abdomen. Both parents nodded eagerly and looked to the black screen. A pulsing filled the ears of everyone inside the room and Carlisle threw an arm around his wife; this was oh so familiar to them. She curled into him watching as the screen lit up into a fuzzy black, white and grey movie.
"Oh my gosh." Bella whispered her hand reaching out to the screen while tears formed in Edward's eyes and he moved closer too. there surrounded by a shapeless blackness floated their baby.
"Definately Eddie's it looks like an alien." Jasper chuckled slapping his brother on the shoulder. The others laughed too even more so when the baby suddenly flipped the other way.
"Very acrobatic!" Esme commented before lowering to the baby's level "Hello darling." At the sound of her voice little feet moved slightly.
"Do you want pictures?" Natalie asked but Bella was too stunned to speak just watching her child on the screen.
"Yes please." Edward smiled.
"If you all keep talking to them I should be able to get some interesting pictures."
"Hello little one I'm your Grandfather." Carlisle said squatting next to Esme "I'm a doctor so you'll be in safe hands."
"And I'm your uncle." Jasper grinned "And you're just going to love rock music."
"I'm your daddy." Edward said right above where Natalie pointed out it's head would be laying "But I think you already knew that." As the four continued to communicate with the baby a little longer Bella's eyes never left the screen. She was so overwhelmed and amazed watching her son or daughter get excited over its family even though it was so young. She stroked the image before her softly and whispered to the baby with her mind.
I'm mommy and I'll be here forever even if daddy isn't.
