16

The day was almost here. It was supposed to be the day before Nessie finally had her baby. We were all at the Cullen house watching TV, though Edward was trying to teach Bells how to play the piano, which was kind of hilarious at times. Nessie was laing in my lap, Blondie in Emmett's, and Jasper in Alice's.
But then, eveything in the room changed when we heard Alice gasp, making us all snap our heads in her direction. Jasper sat up to look at her.
"What is it, Alice? What do you see?"
"T-the Volturi. They're coming."
"Why? What's happened?"
"I don't know. I can't see anymore. That either means they haven't really made up their minds or the wolves are their blockin me."
"Are you sure it's not about me and Nessie?" I asked.
"I don't know. Hopefully it's not."
"Well," Edward broke in, "Just in case, we might as well be on our guard so you, Nessie, or the baby don't get hurt."
"Maybe Nessie should stay here with the baby while I go fight."
"What? No!"
"Ness--"
"I'm not going to have you go fight while I sit here and do nothing! Besides you could get hurt! Or killed!"
"Nessie, calm down."
"I'm not going to calm dow--" She stopped in the middle of the word, putting her hand to her stomach.
"What? What's wrong?!"
"It's time."
"The baby's coming," Edward said. "Let's get her upstairs to the bedroom."
I carried her upstairs,as she tried her best to breathe, and we put her on the bed. I held her hand and tried to help her breathe and not be in too much pain, if that was possible. Carlisle finally came into the room with Esme.
"Edward get me my bag please. Nessie? How do you feel?"
"Do I really have to answer that?!"
"No. But just tell me, are you cramping?"
"Just a littl-- Okay! A lot!" She started screaming at the top of her lungs as she sqeezeed my hand as hard as she could, but I didn't notice.
"It's alright. Just breath and I'll get this baby out of you in no time."
"PLEASE!"
"It's alright. Just breathe the best you can. Edward, I need you to time how long the contractions are and how far apart."
When an hour or so passed and Nessie's contractions weren't very far apart anymore. They went from eight minutes apart to only three.
"Okay, Renesmee? It's time."
"NO! No I can't do it!"
"Yes, you can," I said, doing by best to comfort her. "I believe in you. We all do. And I love you. You can do it. You have to." She looked at me and eveyone in the room.
"Okay."
"Alright, Nessie. Are you ready?" She nodded her head.
....And then, happiness swept through me as I saw my amazingly beautiful baby girl in Carlisle's arms.

I looked into my baby girl's lovely, big, brown eyes as I stroked her hair. She had dark, choclate-brown, curly hair, that had the faintest highlight of red and light brown. Her face was a fare color, dark and light all at the same time. She smiled back at me,reaching for my face. I bent my head closer to her letting her feel my skin with her extremely tiny hands.
"Let me see her," Nessie said. I gave her the baby, sitting next to her on the bed. Everyone had left the room to give us alone time with her. "Oh. She's so beautiful. My beautiful baby."
"What should we name her?"
"Well, I kind of was thinking that we could combine our mothers' names, just like my mom did with me. I was thinking Sara-Bell."
"Sara-Bell."

After an hour of meeting our new baby, Sara-Bell, everyone followed Carlisle upstairs.
"I'm sorry Nessie, Jacob, but I'm going to take Sara-Bell for just a few minutes so I can measure her and see if she's a hybrid or not."
"Okay," Nessie said handing our baby to him.
"You might as well get some rest Nessie. You've been through a lot today. You can sleep here tonight."
"Yeah, I'm pretty tired. Goodnight everyone."
"Goodnight, Nessie!" everyone said together. I gave her a kiss on the forehead and followed Carlisle out the door.
***
"Well," Carlisle said, "She's definitely like no other. She has your genes and Renesmee's. Seems like she's going to be part werewolf, vampire, and human, though more like Renesmee, more half-vampire. And I have a feeling she'll grow up pretty fast like Renesmee did, but just not as quickly."
"Wow. She is special." She was sleeping in my arms. "Thank you Carlisle."
"Of course. And congradulations to you both."
"Thank you."
"Now, before you go, I just want to ask you something."
"Sure, what is it?"
"Are you sure you want to fight, if we do fight, with the Volturi? You have a family now."
"I know, and that's want to fight, to protect my family. I can't let Nessie or Sara-Bell get hurt because I'm sitting around doing nothing."
"Are you quite sure? You know she doesn't want to see you get hurt, or even, possibly, killed."
"I know. But I'm sure everything will be fine."
"Alright. But if I were you, I'd talk with her about it befroe making your own desicion. Otherwise she'll be angrier than if you were to talk to her."
"I'll talk to her. Thanks again Carlisile. Goodnight."
"Goodnight, Jacob."
As I walked back upstairs to the bedroom to put Sara-Bell to bed, I looked down at her as she slept soundly. I then had a feeling that later I would feel guilty for leaving her and Renesmee if I went to go fight. I put her in the crib that Bella had brought for us from our house. I lay down next to Renesmee, putting my arms around her as she slept, and kissed her. The only thing I could think to whisper in her ear, although I knew she couldn't hear me, was, "I'm sorry, my love. I love you."
The tears filled up my eyes as I fell asleep.
