Heart of Stone

Eight

"I don't" Demetri says helping me make the girls liver salads. Their like tuna salads but you have human liver mixed in with the tuna "understand how you find this tasty, either of you"

"Especially" me adding chocolate syrup to the mixture for Tory's, why do I have a feeling this kid is going to come out of Tory as a chocolate monster. I'm serious this is a serious concern "with chocolate"

"It's tasty" is all the two say, we hand them their sandwiches and they moan eating them. Rhaenyra looks at Tory "but" she says covering her mouth "I don't know how Tory wants chocolate in hers"

Tory looks between us "I'm craving, let me crave!"

"Is Tory pregnant?" We hear Emmett ask someone "cause she has been eating weird things"

"Also she throws up in the morning" Jasper adds "she does seem happier than before"

"She does have the symptoms of pregnancy" Carlisle speaks in wonder "it is possible, but I don't know anything about siren births with our kind of vampires"

We hear some footsteps and see Alice come over all happy, she goes to Tory but I block her-she doesn't take the hint and moves to hug both me and Tory "Oh! Congratulations! A baby!" Right, seer. Why do I keep forgetting? Pulling away she looks at Tory "so, have you guys decided on a gender reveal or-oh! How far are you?"

"Why are you being nice?" Rhaenyra bluntly asks Alice who shuts up to look at her "I mean"

"Tory is having a baby" she stated "Bella isn't...I just want to focus on some good" looking at us "can I help? Plan any gender reveal parties or baby showers? How long will this pregnancy last?"

Tory and I share a look, I shrug my shoulders as Tory looks at Alice "It'll be a full seven months, sirens are a little bit faster than humans and if you want to plan the baby shower and gender reveal, I won't stop you"

Alice claps her hands "ooh! We could do it inside or on a beach! So many possibilities!" She runs off then.

"Your really" Demetri asks "letting pixie girl help?"

"Yeah" shrugging her shoulders "I don't mind, helps take a load off of things for me" yeah, her grandmother has been sending a lot of political whatever to Tory so it does make sense that Tory would want to lighten the workload.

We hear footsteps and look to see a smirking Rosalie, why? We watch as she grabs a metal bowl from the dishwasher, closing it we see her make a hotdog and she looks over to see the left over tuna. "Are you" she whispers pointing to the left over stuff "going to finish this?"

"No" Rhaenyra shakes her head, Rosalie smiles brightly before using the dressing in the hot dog. She then bends the bowl.

"What are you doing?" Demetri asks

She smirks to us "feeding" she uses the knife and carved Jacob on the bowl, that now looks like a dog bowl "the mutt" taking the hotdog, we laugh and get up to watch her feed Jacob "enjoy, mongrel" she then looks to Edward snarling "and don't make such a big deal about it, even normal human babies have been known to crack ribs" we silently watch amused as she walks away smiling, that Jacob takes a bite before putting the food back in the bowl and throws it at Rosalie's head.

We stare shocked and amused that Demetri and I laugh while Rhaenyra chuckles and Tory puts her face in my chest laughing. Rosalie turns around to yell "you got food in my hair!" She storms off then, she looks to us and says "congratulations on the baby" she leaves after.

~Time Skip~

"Because you've given me no choice!" We hear Edward yell at Bella, I'm outside with Tory talking with Alice about what kind of nursery we would have. Since we don't know the gender, Alice has been showing us different colors whether we want a girl nursery or a boy one or a gender neutral. Since apparently she can't see our future too well, so that's a plus. We had the witch take the spell off of Tory that hides the baby, but the spell blocking our minds is still intact "Bella, we are supposed to be partners remember? But you decided this on your own, you've decided to leave me" seems he's finally seeing her selfish nature.

"You know" Rhaenyra is with Demetri in the trees right now, watching for the wolves that have surrounded the property. Yeah, those wolves want what is growing in Bella to die-their leader Jared I think his name is has agreed to leave Tory, Rhaenyra, Demetri and myself alone since we are spectators and will only interfere if need be but he isn't letting the Cullen's creation live. Out of him, that Sam and Jacob Black as alphas, this Jared is the best option for being an alpha "those parents who are abusive?" she asks Demetri "if this baby lives, would it follow in Edward's footsteps with being an abusive person? I mean, it doesn't exactly have good role models for parents"

"Probably" Demetri answers

"Don't see it that way" the human cries

"Well, I have no other way to see it" Edward states, my god-even though I'm known as a ruthless man, if I was in his position I wouldn't be acting like this. I've thought about it yes, but I wouldn't be a child about this. Sure I would be angry, but I would also be given a chance to show everyone the love between Tory and I. Like now, the baby inside of Tory is a product of our love for one another. If those two children really loved one another, they would be celebrating this...making every moment with each other count. "It's me that would lose you and I don't choose that" he storms off and we hear the human cry. She was just told that she won't be immortal, which is all that human ever wants and this is possibly her worse nightmare. Dying.
