The Seduction of EdwardChapter 1
Watching Bella sleep was always the highlight of my day. It may seem a little weird but itwas the times that she wasn’t conscious that I learned the most about her. She had nochance to guard her thoughts from me; I heard what she was thinking, even in for only eighthours. That’s where I was, watching Bella dream, when my phone vibrated in my pocket. Ihated cell phones, they seemed pointless to me, and they always went off at the mostinopportune times. .The name on the small lcd screen told me it was Alice. I grew worried then, not becauseAlice was calling me but because she knew not to call me when I was at Bella’s unless it wasan emergency.I answered it. “Edward?” she asked despite the obvious. “Yes, Alice, It’s me.”  “Edward you need to come home now.”  “Alice, I’m with Bella, can’t this wait till the morning?”  “Edward I had a vision... about Bella. You need to ‘see’ this”  “Fine.” I said grudgingly, snapping the phone shut. I hated to leave Bella unprotected,hopefully this would not take long I hoped, knowing that it would. I kissed Bella on the cheekbefore leaving. The run home barely took three minutes, so before I knew it I was walkingthrough my front door.What I saw made me nervous. All six members of my family were looking at me they’rebronze eyes gleaming with wonder and Joy? “This had better be good.” I said putting on my mask of indifference. “Oh it is” said Emmett from the love seat. Still, the room was filled with silence. “Well what is it?” I asked growing impatient.They looked to one another, nervous looks passing from one person to the other. This wasenough. “Just tell me what’s going to happen already. Stop being so cryptic.”  “You have to see it for yourself, Edward.” Alice said, her musical voice resounding throughout the room. She stood up from her position in Jasper’s alp and took a step in my direction.She too, like the others, looked nervous. “Fine then, let’s ‘see’ it.” 
 A bright yellow nursery, sunlight filtering through the crack the wind had made in thedraperies. The room held a mothers touch. It seemed as if every space in the room was filled with the love and happiness that baby’s were known to spread to its parents. The wholeroom was serine; a round wooden crib was the focal point in the room. For as beautiful asthe crib was, however, the Baby that it contained was exponentially more beautiful. A baby slept soundly, until as if the breeze had ruffled him he began to stir in his sleep. Within a few moments he was screaming. The shrill sound piercing the calm stillness of the room. Then,the door crept open, only to reveal Bella, in her night cloths. She walked hastily to the sideof the crib before lifting that baby to her arms. She rocked him gently, humming her melody. A pair of arms snaked around her waist. “I think he was just scared” she whispered, leaningher head back against his chest. After a few moments the baby seemed to have forgottenwhat all the fuss was about and fell back into the peaceful serenity of sleep. Bella set himback into the crib gently. Then stepped back to admire him. Again she leaned her head back onto his chest. “He’s beautiful. A miracle.” Bella whispered, seemingly completely content.“Our miracle” Edward said resting his chin on Bella’s head.
The vision ended as quickly as it began. The nursery fading, replaced by eh living room. Tothe present. Where six pairs of eyes were on me. Undoubtedly waiting for my reaction towhat I had just witnessed. After that, when they realized that I was not going to sayanything, Carlisle broke the silence that had engulfed the room. “Edward, can we talk in my office?” I nodded, still too numb to speak. We walked to his office in silence. The only sound was thedoor closing harshly against the wooden frame supporting it.He opened his mouth to speak, but I beat him to it. “How?” was all I could say, my mind still reeling. That question, ever-present in my mind. “That’s what I wanted to talk to you about. When Alice first came to me with her vision, Iwas... hesitant to believe the accuracy of it. Alice, however, seemed absolutely positive thatit would happen. She had said that it was the clearest vision that she has had, like nothingcould sway fate from its course. So I began thinking. Vampires aren’t supposed to have
 
children. It isn’t logical. But then it hit me. I had never felt so stupid in all of my life. No onehad ever tried.Vampires never have sex with mortals, male of female. I’ve been a doctor, Edward, a man of science, for hundreds of years, yet I never questioned weather it was possible. I guess that itis. Now that we know it can be done, what do you plan to do about it?” he asked waiting fora response.My mind had been working out that very question since he began explaining. Then, itclicked; I would do what seemed best. “Nothing” I said turning o n my heel and heading out the door. Letting it slam loudly againstthe frame again, Leaving a stunned Carlisle behind As I reached the landing, I noticed thatmy family, for what seemed like the hundredth time this night, staring at me intently, Shocketched across their faces. Alice, however, seemed to be the most stunned. “Why” her musicalvoice barley audible even to my ears. I paused at the door, my hand resting lightly on theknob as if to open it.That was one of the questions that I heard that night that I actually knew the answer to. “She deserves as much of a normal life that I can give her. She only has ten more monthsuntil the time I agreed to change her. She deserves to have them as normal as possible. Sheneeds to be unhindered. She needs to have fun while she can. Who am I to take those lastfew months away from her?” I whispered, unmoving. Then I walked out the door and headedback to Bella’s house. While I ran I closed off all of the hopefulness that had filled me when Irealized that I was the father of Bella’s baby in the vision.A baby.My baby.Then one thing that I was forced to accept when I learned what I had become. I had alwayswanted one day to have a child of my own. Alice’s vision rekindled the yearning that stillremained. As I settled myself back into the rocking chair by the window, I watched her.Bella.My Bella.I was determined that no matter how much I wanted to, I would not mention what Alice hadseen to Bella. She truly did deserve as much normalcy she could get with me as herboyfriend.I just wish Alice saw it my way and kept her mouth shut. I hung my head when I realizedthat I knew her to well. She would tell Bella what she had seen, and there wasn’t anything Icould do to prevent it.
Chapter 2
I awoke to a pair of cold marble arms wrapping around my waist. This is undoubtable myfavorite way to wake up. “Morning.” he breathed, the sweet scent of his breath blowing into my face, dazzling meinstantly. “You’re doing it again” I said trying to sound annoyed. I failed miserably. “Doing what?” he asked innocently. His eyes growing wide and doe like. “Dazzling me.”  “You mean like this?” he teased, sending another cold burst of his breath across my face. Iforgot for a second what I had been saying, and I could feel my eyes glazing over. “Bella, Bella, Bella.” Edward tisked, laughing. “What am I going to do with you?”  “Stay” I said quietly. It had only been a few weeks since Alice and I went to Italy to saveEdward from the Volturri. Still, I wasn’t wholly sure he would stick to his word and stay.He stopped laughing as soon as the word left my mouth. He looked hurt. “You still don’t believe me do you? He asked quietly. “It’s not that I don’t believe you but come on Edward, honestly. What makes me goodenough for you? I’m not special. I’m sure you could find someone prettier than me orsmarter than me. It never made sense for you to love me and it still doesn’t, even now.” With every word I spoke Edward grew more and more angry looking. “Bella, how could you sit there and tell me your not special. Your beautiful, kind, caring. Youreverything that I could have asked for. I honestly would like to know what I did to deserve
you
” Even thought Edward was off the human diet and he’d saved my life an immeasurableamount of time he still seemed to have it in his head that he was a monster, damned foreternity. With no respite in the afterlife. Something just wouldn’t change.We both stood there looking at each other the silence filling the room. “I have to get ready for school.” I said finally breaking it.
 
 “That’s fine, I have to go get my car anyway.”  “O K.” I said grabbing my bag of toiletry and heading for the bathroom.Before I got the chance to get in, However, the phone rang. I put my robe on and went outto get it. “Hello?” I answered breathless. “Bella?” Alice’s melodious voice sand from the other end. “Yea Alice.”  “Bella there’s something Jasper and I need to talk to you about. Do you think you can missGym for today, and we can meet at my car outside?” The fact that Alice had said Jasper needed to talk to me mad me curious, and nervous. Eversince my birthday party, he’s stayed even father away than normal. The fact that he was notwilling to come up close just to talk was surprising. ‘Sure, Alice, is everything O.K.?”  “I’ll tell you about it later Edward just left to get back to your house.”  “O.K. Alice, I’ll meet you at the car then. “ “Thanks Bella”  “No problem Alice”  “Oh and Bella, Do yo think we can keep this little meeting to ourselves for now?”  “Sure...” I said a bit taken aback by her request. “Thanks Bella, I’ll see you later.”  “O.K. Alice, Bye.”  “Bye” I put the phone back on the receiver and walked back to the bathroom in a daze.First Jasper was going to be there and now I wasn’t supposed to tell Edward? Something wasup. I could tell then that it would be a very long day. Until gym that is.Edward was waiting for me when I emerged from the bathroom. “That was a long shower, Come on were gonna be late.” He said before picking me up andflying out to his car.When we got there Alice was standing there like usual waiting for us.When we got out Edward looked at her suspiciously as Alice glared at him. They must havebeen having another one of their private conversations again.Without a word Edward grabbed me around the waist and we walked off to first block. Iswung my head around to look at Alice. When she saw me she nodded before walking away.The day passed by in a haze and before I knew it, it was lunch.Alice was already at the table, which we shared with my other friends, although at differentsides of the table, We sat down in silence. Alice and Edward never looking directly at eachother. After about twenty minutes of awkward silence I had had enough. “OK will someone tell me what going on here?” I said the silence before it making it soundlouder than normal.Edward smiled my favorite smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes. “Not-“ “and don’t tell me it’s ‘nothing’” I snapped. I was really getting annoyed now and I think theyboth realized it.Alice and Edward for the first time since this morning looked at each other. “Really Bella it’s nothing just a childish argument. It’s over now really.” Edward said staringinto my eyes. Alice looked like she was about to say something when before she got thechance Edward cut her off. “Right Alice?” he said suddenly serious. His resolve that whatever it was they werediscussing was over. “Right, Edward” Alice said between clenched teeth. I had never seen Alice angry. She lookedtotally different than usual. More dangerous, less pixi-like and more feline. I knew now thatgetting her angry would not be in someone’s best interest.Before anymore could be said the bell sounded, ending lunch. Luckily for me Gym was nextand I could finally ask Alice what the ‘disagreement’ was between her and Edward.Like usual he walked me to the doors of the girls locker room. We said our goodbyes andthen instead of turning to get changed in the locker room. I kept going straight and out thedoors into the parking lot. When I reached the space that Alice usually parks I wasn’t at allshocked to note that both Alice and Jasper were already there waiting for me.Alice’s eyes lit up when she saw me but Jasper suddenly stiffened before relaxing. I knewthat this was hard for him so I knew that whatever it was that they needed to discuss that Ihad to be important. Or they wouldn’t risk my safety.When I finally reached then Alice hugged me tightly before pulling back. A worried lookscattering her flawless features.
