A/N: Sorry I never posted this the other day like I hoped, I got a little busy with my littlest one being sick.
Disclaimer: Twilight will never be mine
*Begin*
I ended up having to wake up 6 times in the middle of the night to take care of Nes.
Feedings.
Diapers.
Non-stop crying.
She made me want to never have kids of my own. I was thankful that Alice came to help me half the time. We just couldn't figure out why she kept throwing up all her formula until Jasper had the smart idea that maybe she wanted blood. I was totally grossed out at the idea, but it did make sense.
So, Carlisle put some blood in with the formula and that seemed to help so much. We also noticed that she was bigger than she was a few hours ago. She wasn't looking like a tiny newborn anymore but rather almost a 1-month-old baby.
When we spoke to Carlisle about it in the morning, he suggested that maybe she was growing at an exceptional rate. It was that way for the rest of the group. So as Alice and I drove to Seattle she filled me in on how she grew up.
She grew faster than a normal baby and was always more advanced than most kids as well. She stopped growing when she turned 18, she also mentioned that while she could live off human food, she always had a constant craving for blood.
I was not looking forward to having to put blood in Nes' bottles, so I let that me and Emmett job.
When we got to the mall, we headed straight for the baby store. I saw the look in her eyes, and I had to tell Alice multiple times not to buy the whole place. We mostly needed the essentials and if Nes was going to grow faster than normal then clothes were going to be last on my list.
We bought a light gray crib, a light grey changing table, 2 light grey dressers (1 long and 1 tall), a light grey rocking chair that reclined and had a footrest, and a light grey bookshelf. We bought a few white shelves to hang on the walls and we bought a white fuzzy center rug for the room.
We bought 3 boxes of each sized diaper they had. We bought formula, enough wipes to last 6 months, so many toys, a white toy chest, a white hanging mesh thing to hold all the stuffed animals Alice decided Nes needed. I picked out a night light that projected rotating stars on the ceiling that played Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
We bought 30 outfits in 3 different sizes just to have for now, a few pajamas included. I grabbed a poop ton of socks while Alice decided on a few different shoes. I picked out some blankets, some thin and some thick while Alice picked out the bedding set for the crib. We decided on a Stars, Clouds, and Moon type of theme for the room.
I grabbed a stroller/carseat combo, a baby bathtub, some baby bath towels, baby gates, baby safety kits, alarms for the windows and doors, a highchair, and lots of soaps, lotions, powders, rash creams, and a grooming kit (nails and hair combo kit).
Alice grabbed so many bottles to go with a bottle warmer, a wipe warmer, a Baby Bullet Food Processor with storage jars, a formula dispenser machine, a humidifier, and a swing. I found a really cute pack and play that came with a bassinet and a changing table attached to it.
We had like 10 shopping carts with us, and I could just see the dollar signs in the eyes of the manager. She offered to have all of it shipped to wherever we needed it, and we took her up on that offer. Alice paid extra to have it delivered to my house by the end of the day. I mean Edward already spent close to 10 grand for everything we got but what was a few hundred dollars more.
So, when everything was done, we took what was most important and piled it all into Edward's Volvo along with Nes. She had been so good while we were shopping, I only had to stop and feed her once.
When we got back to Forks, Alice continued past the road that led to the house and continued straight to my new place. It broke my heart that I was going to be moving out of the mansion and into dad's house, but I knew it was the right thing to do for my niece. I also wanted Bella to trust me because as I have heard trust won't come easily to my sister if she thinks we are keeping Nes from her on purpose.
We pulled up to dad's house and I took a moment to take it in. I haven't been here in a year, not since Bella left. I just couldn't bring myself to come here when it still hurt that he was gone. It would be weird living in the house without him or Bella but having the house to myself was going to be great…
"What are you thinking about?" I looked to my side…Emmett. Living in the house would be great if I didn't have to be with him. Living with Emmett and raising Nes together was going to be very challenging. I just knew my hormones were going to drive me insane. I could already feel myself growing warm with the thought of him being inside me again.
I watched as he sniffed the air before staring me in the eyes. A slow smile spread to his face, and he just seemed so kissable that I couldn't help myself when I leaned up and laid my lips on his. He didn't hesitate to kiss me back.
Using one hand on the back of my neck to pull me closer, our bodies molding so well with each other. I moaned into the kiss, gripping his shirt with both of my hands while his other hand was on my waist. I could kiss him forever and never tire of it; I wondered if I could add one more rule to our agreement.
A cry broke me from his arms. I looked down to see my niece begin to stir in her carseat and an angry look was forming on her face. She probably just needed a diaper change, plus it was cold out and I don't think she appreciated being in the cold.
"Maybe we can finish this later?" I asked softly as I looked at him from under my lashes. A low growl came from his chest, and I knew he was as excited as I was for our "conversation". I smirked at him before picking up Nes in her carseat and going inside.
The house looked like we had never left.
The simple L-shaped staircase that led upstairs was still the same old white color we left it. The first-floor bedroom that Bella painted light green, and bathroom was still the same light grey. All the furniture and everything was taken out, reminding me of the first time we saw it, devoid of all feelings.
The giant swinging door that leads into the kitchen was taken off its frame as a baby safety.
With Emmett taking dad's room, I expected him to repaint it or something. I don't he would like what dad did to his room and I wanted Emmett to feel at home here.
"Hey, I think we should turn the upstairs guest room into the nursery and have the first-floor room as the guest room. That way I am not too far from the baby."
"Sounds like a plan. Do you want to repaint anything or have something specific done to the room?" Jasper asked me and I nodded.
"Yes, the wall mirror will need to come out so it may destroy the wall completely and it will need to be redone. I would like the wall to be painted a soft blue with the ceiling looking like the universe if that's possible. So, the planets, the sun, lots of stars, and the colors needed to make it look like a galaxy."
"Anything else?" He asked as he was writing notes down on a little pad he was holding.
"The closet needs shelves, the guest room was very simple and only had hangers and then a dresser. Nes' room will need some extra space to house the diapers and wipes and other baby items, so her room isn't too crowded." He nodded again and I watched as Alice looked around, a sadness creeping over her face.
They could tell I was angry, but no one was asking why as we walked around the house. Making notes here and there of what needed to be baby proofed and what I would like changed.
Walking upstairs as we talked, I noticed the empty walls where we had pictures hung and the same cream color as the living room. Where we used to keep a lounge set would be a little play corner where I will use the octagon gate to close in the space. I was going to fill the shelves under the window seat with children's books so when Nes couldn't sleep at night I could take her out there and read to her as we looked outside.
"I think we might need a few extra wall cabinets or something in the washroom. Since Nes won't be able to use the same detergent as Emmett and me, she will need her own space."
"Ok I think we can get everything done by tomorrow night. When is the stuff from the trip supposed to be here?" I ignored him as I walked into my room and closed my eyes, setting Nes's carseat on the ground. I remembered what my room looked like before I stripped it.
My walls, I decided, needed to be a dark purple with black trimmings and black curtains. I even had a thick fuzzy black wall to wall rug installed since I hated most cold things. All my furniture was white, which really helped lighten the place up.
My bay window with a window seat was probably the best thing about my room. The seat to the bay window had 4 drawers underneath it. To the right of the window was my corner desk and my computer was on the left side of the desk since there was a floor to ceiling bookshelf and a tall dresser with my mounted wall 42-inch T.V to the right side of the desk. Above the desk was a 3 by 2 cubby shelf that stored all my school supplies.
My Bed was directly across from the T.V and I had a corner nightstand with a small dark purple night light on the right side of the bed. To the left of my bed was the walk-in closet. Above my bed, on the wall, was a giant white corkboard so I could put pictures of my family and friends. I stapled some black and purple feathers to the side and painted a dreamcatcher as a nice background on the corkboard.
The last wall, the wall to the left of the bedroom door, had a fully stocked vanity set. It had so many drawers and came with 2 shelves that were 5-feet tall and on wheels. The mirror could change direction up and down and had 2 mirrors on the sides that I could open to get more depth. Lights attached to the vanity just below the mirror in case the lighting in my room sucked.
I opened my eyes when cool arms wound their way around my stomach.
"What are you thinking about?" His voice was a whisper in my ear.
"Thinking about what my room was like after we moved in. Not its nothing but a shell of its former self. I'm trying to see what I saw a year ago." I sighed.
"Do you want to change anything?" I shook my head.
"No, all my stuff is in storage, so I won't need anything if nothing is missing or damaged. We just need kitchen stuff, bathroom stuff, and furniture for the living room. Esme helped me get rid of mostly everything in the house, but I kept Bella's stuff, my stuff, and some of dad's things."
"I'm sorry I wasn't here when you needed to do this."
"It's not really you I'm mad at, my sister should have been here with me. But that I guess will be a conversation we can have in a year." He smirked.
"Alice told us when everything will arrive so why they work on Nes's room, I am going to run and grab your stuff from the storage place. Tomorrow we will bring all our stuff from the house and help put everything away. In the meantime, order what you need for the rest of the house. Try to get it delivered for Sunday afternoon when we can spend the afternoon putting all that stuff away."
"I guess we have a busy 4 days coming up." I sighed knowing I had much to do and maybe I should take some days off from school. Maybe I could even explain the situation to the principal and spend the rest of the school year working from home. Or I could look into getting my GED and finish it all by the new year.
