Shadows of The Past

Chapter 6

7 months later

"And that's the final box." I heaved a sigh of relief as Edward walked through the front doors with a huge box.

"Thank god." He put the box down and collapsed next to it. "Moving is a pain in the ass." He grumbled.

"Yeah but it's worth it." I smiled. I got up from the couch and walked around the living room.

Edward and I had bought a new house before we got married and we finally moved in. This house was bigger than the one I grew up in and was definitely much deeper into the town but it was private and we both liked it.

Our house was pretty far from the main road which meant that the house before us was at least half a mile away. But that house was occupied by Alice and Jasper so, we didn't really mind.

Emmett had decided to stay in our old house with Rosalie and that was great because I knew that house would be perfect for their family. All of our childhood memories were there, I was just glad that Emmett decided to preserve it.

"I'm going to bring this up." Edward's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah okay." I smiled before going into the kitchen.

We tried to bring in some Mauritius touch into our new home and I smiled at how perfectly that worked out. The house had a modern yet beach-like touch and I loved it.

Just then, I heard the doorbell ring. I half ran to the door and opened it to see Rosalie and Emmett outside.

"Hey!" I hugged her awkwardly as her baby bump was blocking the way. "You look like you're ready to give birth any time!" I lightly touched her stomach.

"Yeah, it's huge isn't it?" She replied. I opened the door wider for her to walk in.

"Hey sis!" Emmett greeted as he gave me a side hug.

"So when is the due date?" I asked as Rosalie sat down on the couch, slowly.

"In exactly a month." She proudly grinned.

"Have y'all thought baby names then?" I looked at Emmett.

"Yeah, there are a few in our minds. But Rosalie really likes the name Robin. If it's a girl, we would name her that." Emmett smiled. "If it's a boy, we are planning on calling him Donovan."

"They are both nice names, I can't believe y'all have been keeping the gender unknown! Isn't it driving y'all crazy?" I asked.

"Not really." Rosalie smiled. "We don't want to stereotype the baby even before it comes out, you know?"

"Hey guys." I heard Edward greet as he came down the stairs.

"Hi Edward." Rosalie said as she shifted on the couch uncomfortably.

"Do you need anything, Rose?" I asked as I tried to help her find a comfortable position.

"Nah, I'm good." She smiled weakly.

"I think Alice is here." Emmett announced as he looked up at the door. I heard the screeching sounds of tyre outside and I knew it was them. Edward went over to open the door even before Jasper knocked.

"Welcome in." Edward smiled.

"Fancy place, I like it!" Alice squealed. "Oh and Rose, how are you feeling?" She suddenly diverted her attention towards Rosalie.

"Pretty heavy and hella uncomfortable." She laughed.

"Oh, it's going to be over soon." Alice assured her as she patted Rosalie's hands.
