Espérer [TwilightFanFic] **COMPLETED**

Sleep Overs and Bad Tempers...

[Edward's POV] 

"No Carlisle, I won't put her through what Bella went through. You all saw how it ended. She couldn't give birth and she and the baby died" I say, staring between the eyes of my "father" and "brothers". Carlisle, Emmett, and Jasper all looked back at me with the same expressions, and I'm thankful I can actually read their minds. 

He thinks she will die like Bella did. She's a lot stronger than Bella was. And he just doesn't have enough faith in the girl. I look away from Carlisle, to look at Emmett. The only thoughts swimming in his brain are some I don't care to mention... (Mainly about what he plans on doing later with Rose). And Jasper is still applauding himself over the mood control that happened at the school. I told him not to do it, but he doesn't listen. 

"Edward.. I just don't think your giving her enough credit. I mean she is.." Carlisle stops, scratching his chin. I wave my hands, dramatically, and turn my back to him as I cut him off. "You think i'm not giving her enough credit, and that she's more than capable of handling it" I sigh, running my finger through my hair. "I read your mind" I say, leaning against the counter. 

Emmett hops up on it, looking between everyone. "Why don't you give her more credit? I mean, I know you care about her and all, but if she did die-" He begins, but I cut him off, standing in front of him now. "Don't you dare finish that sentence" I say, wiggling a finger in his face, anger clearly taken over my features. 

Damnit, all I was going to say is that if she did die that it wouldn't be the worst of things. Its not like he hasn't lost someone before. 

I glare at Emmett, before lunging towards him, and grabbing him by the collar, pushing him against the cabinet. I feel Jasper trying to control my mood, and I feel Carlisle's beady eyes on me. 

Edward, he's not worth the trouble. And think about her. She will be waltzing in here any moment. Do you honestly want her to see you like this?? 

I shake my head, answering Jasper's thoughts, before letting go of Emmett, and turning just in time to see Alice and Lily in the doorway. 

*************

[Lily's POV]

"I just don't see why he's making such a big deal out of me turning like you all. I mean I can still live at home with Jack, and still go to school. Yeah, there will be some..." I pause, looking around to everyone's eyes on me... Everyone including Esme, Alice, and Rosalie. "Complications. But I mean, i'll still have your all's help" I say, and Alice gives me a nod, before Esme speaks. 

"You have to look at it in his point of view. He's already lost someone before. And i know he really cares about you" She pauses, causing my cheeks immediately heat, before she continues. "So if he lost you..." She doesn't finish her sentence, instead she shakes her head, glancing to the kitchen door, then back to me. 

I nod once, then follow her gaze to the doors. The guys had taken Edward into the kitchen to try and talk to him, on my behalf. I knot my fingers on my lap, before looking back towards the fire place. 

"I just don't understand why you WANT to be like us. I mean, you'll never have children. Never grow old with the person you love. Nothing" Rose's voice trails off, and I look from the fire, to her. "Its not about what I want anymore. I have to do whats right. I have to save my father" I say, standing. 

Alice joins me, placing her small hands on my shoulders, just as there's a clatter in the kitchen. With a racing heart, and Alice hot on my heels, we head for the kitchen.
