A/N: I think I may have missed a couple things in the earlier chapters that I will try to fill in, in the next few chapters. I already tried to do that in the last chapter, and I edited the first chapter to reflect some stuff.

*Begin*

The next few days flew by as the 4 of us tried to get the house in order.

So much stuff was sent to the house Saturday and Sunday that we didn't get much to ourselves, but I was glad when Monday rolled around, and I didn't have to worry about much. There was still plenty that needed to be put away, but while I was in school, Emmett was going to watch Nes while Jasper and Alice fixed Emmett's room to his specifications.

Alice told me Bella woke up this morning and although she was clearer minded than they thought she would be, there was still no way they felt comfortable with her seeing me or Nes. She didn't ask for Nes, even when she tried to kill Edward and escape the house. Alice didn't give me any more details because I needed to get to school.

I was still tired by Alice stayed the night to help with Nes so I could get some sleep. Jasper had gone home to help Carlisle and Edward.

Walking into school was nauseating. I just wanted to get back home and cuddle my niece or boss Emmett around. Spending the weekend with him was amazing. Although we were super busy, the stolen glances and kisses made my heart flutter. I couldn't wait to speak with the girls and tell them everything…well not everything but what the lie we came up with.

I texted them all saying we needed to talk after school and gave them the new address. There were a string of messages asking what the hell was going on and why weren't we going to my house. I told them I would explain everything to them when I saw them because this was a face-to-face conversation.

After I texted them that I went to speak with the principal.

I told them that Bella had been in an accident, and they had to deliver her baby a little early. I told him how the baby was able to go home but Bella was in a coma and with Edward needing to stay by her side, I was taking care of my niece. He felt sympathetic to my situation.

He told me I could take a few days off until a routine was established but I confessed I wasn't in the right head space to stay in school. I wanted to either finish the school year at home or just get my GED. He said he would talk with all my teachers and see if it was possible to let you finish the year at home. It would depend on if the teachers would be able to complete school packets for me.

I understood that it was a lot to ask of them and I did make sure to tell him I was more than willing to drop out and get my GED. But I needed to be home with Nes and be there for Edward and my sister. I cried in front of him to get my point across that everything was stressing me out because Bella was the last of my family and I couldn't handle it if something happened to her, and I wasn't there.

I was able to go home, so I did.

I got home to Nes asleep in Emmett's arms as they lay on the couch. Walking into the house made me feel more alive than when I walked into it the first time after dad died.

The black L-shaped couch we got fit snuggly in the corner. Som space left to have the pack and play sitting at the end. A large black rug sat in the center of the room where the small swing sat. Pictures of all of us were hung on the walls. They made me smile as they reminded me of happier times. I loved seeing pictures of mom and dad on the walls, along with the whole Cullen gang, there was even a picture of Billy and Jake.

I crept by Emmett and made my way upstairs to my room. I had to pass 2 baby gates to get to the top, but it was worth it knowing Nes was safe. The walls here also had pictures of everyone, including a few pictures of the newest member of the family that I took while she slept.

The play corner had loads of boxed up baby toys, including the octogen shaped baby gate. I didn't want to open any of it until I needed to. Boxes of baby books sat on the window seat, waiting to be put away. A few books were just for adults as well just in case I ever had a moment to myself, and I could sneak in a book for myself.

My door was open, which was unusual as I know I closed it when I left this morning, and I found Alice in my room.

"Hi." She said when she noticed me.

"Hi? What are you doing in my room?" I put my bag on the made bed before turning to watch Alice putting away all my makeup and stuff in the vanity.

"Well Bella wasn't being nice at the house so Edward told us all to leave so he could handle her. She seems to like him and is much nicer when it's just the two of them. So, I figured I would come spend time with Nes, but she was asleep with Em when I got here. When I was finishing the nursery, I started organizing the bathroom and well, here I am."

"Thanks. I started putting away the bathroom stuff and then I got distracted putting away my room and soon Nes needed me, and I just lost the day." I started helping her and together we finished my room.

"Why are you home to early from school?"

"I was just so tired and honestly school was the last thing on my mind. I have 2 months left before the new year and then 5ish months until I graduate. I have good grades, and the principal said I could take a few days at home if I needed to." I sat on my bed wanting someone to talk too, someone who might be able to help me.

"That's not everything is there?" She gave me a knowing look. "I saw your path. Study hard and that GED will be yours." I smiled; glad she was on my side.

"Have you seen what happens in a year? Between Em and I?" I bit my lip thinking maybe if Alice saw something it would help me in the long run.

"The only thing I see if that the two of you will be in each other's life a very long time. But I can't see if it's as friends or more because you don't know the answer to that yourself."

"I know I love him, and I am on my way to forgive him. But I don't know if I want to end up like Bella. To have a baby and die to wake up knowing my heart will never beat again. Would Emmett even love me still after that? Would I ever want to kill him or the child? I just don't know if I can live that life." She hugged me.

"I know what you mean. Jasper and I have talked about kids on more than 1 occasion. I get my period but it's not every month thing or even every other month thing. Carlisle says it's possible for me to be pregnant, but it hasn't happened yet. I wonder if it will ever happen and if it does, what will happen to me."

"And there is no way for a surrogate right. What about adoption?"

"We've talked about that as well and if it was a surrogate it would have to be someone willing to risk their life. I don't think I could have someone go through what Bella did. And I don't know if I could adopt a human and watch them fade away while I stayed so young. The lies we would have to tell, and we just couldn't have our child do that." I felt bad for Alice because she was in an impossible situation.

"Rosalie has a daughter." I blurted.

"What? How do you know that?" Her face was covered in shock.

"Her names Sidney. She's 13 and she's full human. Rose found her alone wandering the streets a few months ago. Rose said she was filthy when she found her, and she was badly beaten. She had run away from her family when she was 10, her stepdad liked to touch her. A pimp found her and tried to sell her off. She fought him and he beat her, Rose saved her. She says Sid doesn't fully trust her yet but doesn't try to run away anymore so that's a plus."

"How do you know this?"

"After you guys left, Rose and I got really close. She's not as bad as I first thought she was. Yes she has a mean side and yes she tried to get rid of me at one point…"

"I'm sorry, she tried to what?" I laughed at the memory.

"Yea she tried to get rid of me while I was hospitalized but Esme found her, and we had a big talk about now we're close. She sends me new clothes and gifts every couple of months. We talk on the phone every few weeks and we video chat when we have the time."

"Wow…does she know about Bella?" I shook my head.

"No, she knows you guys are back and she knows Bella and Edward are married but I haven't told her about Bella being pregnant. We haven't spoken in a few weeks with everything going on I know Sid is having a hard time with life right now and Rose is trying to give her all the attention she needs when she isn't working."

"I never thought I would see the day when Rose was a mom and to a teenager at that." We both laughed because I couldn't either until I did see it. "Does she have any plans to come home for a visit?"

"I think she wants to come home for the holidays. I know she's been planning to come down the week before Thanksgiving and stay until the New Year. She will also be bringing Sid so act surprised or something." She smiled at me and nodded.

"You really are something special you know that? When Bella first told me she had a younger sister and she was coming to live with her, I thought I would get another Bella. But you blew me out of the water. You were kind of like her, but you were so different and now with everything that has happened, you're nothing like the anxious little girl I first met. You are so much more, so much stronger than you think. I really hope that in the end everything works out the way it's meant to." She hugged me and then took off.

I stayed there for a few more minutes and then walked to the nursery. I could almost imagine that this was a nursery for my own child. But would that child be like me or like Em? I guess I wouldn't know until it happened.

After ensuring everything in the room was looking good, I picked up some of the empty boxes and brought them downstairs to toss out.
