Romeo & Juliet With A Child (Book 1)

~Valerie~

As I wake up the next morning, I smile in comfort from Emmett's hand holding mine. I open my eyes, and I look into my handsome fiance's face.

"God, I love looking at your face every second of the day." I tell him in my morning voice.

He smiles, and puts his hand on my cheek.
"I love you very much Valerie, more than my whole world."

I smile as I pull him towards me, being careful of Anna between us. Then we connected our lips in a passionate kiss, then I feel Anna stir next to me.

We both pull apart just as Anna opens her eyes. Both Emmett and I smile down at her with love in our eyes.

"Good morning squirt, Did you sleep well?" Emmett asked her.

Anna sits up and nods her head with a smile on her face.
"I did! It felt really good."

Emmett and I giggle at her, for her cuteness.

"Are you hungry, Anna?" I asked her. She nods her head, and quickly gets dressed for the day.

As Anna was getting dressed, I look into Emmett's eyes. Then I started to get worried, Emmett's eyes are dark dark Amber.

"Babe, Are you okay? Are you hungry?" I asked him.

Emmett nods,
"Yeah, I was going to go hunting while you guys were sleeping but with Victoria around. I did not want to leave you both alone."

I smile at him, and I put my hand on his cheek.
"Babe, thank you so much for protecting us but feeding is more important. All you have to do is wake me up and tell me you are going hunting, I would've locked the house."

He puts his hand over mine on his cheek,
"What did I do to deserve you both."

I smile at him, "Just loving us did it."

"You got that right." He says chuckling.

Anna opens the door, and walks out of the bathroom.

"Anna, Daddy is going to go hunting while we eat." I tell her.

She nods her head in agreement,
"Okay! But I want blueberry pancakes for my breakfast please?"

Emmett gets up from the bed quickly before picking up Anna and swaying her around like a airplane.

I smile with love at my little family, it may have started broken with just Anna and me but I am glad I filled it with someone special.

I quickly get dressed, and I let Emmett go hunting while Anna and I go into the kitchen.

~Timeskip~

As Emmett and I were watching a movie, Emmett gets a phone call from Jasper.

After talking for a few seconds, Emmett looks over at me.

"Grab Anna, we have to go over to the family house." Emmett tells me as he gets up off the couch. I nod, and quickly going upstairs to gently grab Anna.

As I carefully lift her off the bed, she stirs from her sleep but she mellows back out again. I semi-race downstairs, and both Emmett and I get into the car. As we drive to the Cullen house, many things run through my mind.

A few seconds later, we make it to the house. Emmett gets out of the car with Anna sleeping in his arms. He waits for me to get out of the car and be by his side.

As we enter the house, Jasper and Alice walks over to us. Jasper looks at Emmett as he nods before he carefully hands Anna to me.

"Love you babe, see you in a few minutes." Emmett says before leaving with Jasper out the door.

Alice smiles at me, before leading me to the living room. I see everyone except Edward in there with a smile on their faces, even with a possibility of a nomad threatening a mate of their coven.

As I walk through the doorway into the living room, I hear Rosalie.
"Hey Valerie! How are you?"

I smile at her, "I am doing good, Rosalie. How about you?"

She smiles brightly, "I am doing good also. Hey Valerie, Do you want me to take Anna to lay her down?"

I smile grateful of that suggestion, Anna is getting bigger and heavier.

"Yeah, that would be great. She is getting to be a big girl, and a little more heavy than I can handle." I tell Rosalie. Then I carefully hand Anna over to Rosalie, and I stand over by the windows.

Soon Esme comes over to talk to me a little before Edwards car shows up. Both Esme and I watch as he leads Bella into the house and walk up to the living room.

I take a glance at Rosalie, knowing she does not like Bella's view on mortal life. Rosalie is content with Anna in her arms, and I smile in happiness.

Then I feel my phone buzz in my pocket, I quickly take it out and look at the caller ID.

'Damien! But I have not heard from him in forever. Well might as well answer it.' I thought as I answer the call.

"What do you want Damien?" I asked sounding sort of mad. I am still mad at him for what was said.

But I am shocked on what I hear next.

"Hello? Is this Valerie?" I hear a small girl's voice.

"Yes, this is Valerie. May I ask who you are?" I asked.

"Um....My name is Kelly Smith. I called you because Damien is in a lot of pain, and I tried everything to help him. Please what can I do to help him!" She yells into the phone desperate.

I take in a deep breath and keep my voice helpful.

"Okay Kelly, I need you to listen carefully and follow my instructions to a point okay? I know what's wrong with Damien."

"Okay, I will. But what's wrong with him?"

"Has he been away from you for a few days?" I asked her.

"No, he has not. He has been by my side for months, but why?"

"He is going through a withdrew from our world, now I will give you a recipe that will help him feel less pain. The only way that the pain will be fully gone is he goes back to our world for a day, then he will be back to normal." I tell her hoping it is enough.

"Okay, start." She tells me.

"Okay, I need you to find Rosemary, Thyme, and Cinnamon. Can you do that?" I asked her.

"But aren't those just garnishes?" She asked me.

"Kelly, it is very important that you listen to me. Damien does not have much time in his condition, now next do you have any rain water?" I asked her.

"Um....I don't have any rain water."

"Okay, Kelly turn around. Take that bottle, that is your rain water that you need. Next I need you to get a metal bowel, once you have that. Put the Rosemary, Thyme, and Cinnamon into the bowl." I tell her carefully leading her.

"Okay, next." She said.

"Okay, crush them up with a heavy tool. Once you crush them, slowly pour the water into the bowl til all of it is in the bowl."

"Okay." She says unsure.

"Okay, if you did it right it would turn into a greenish goo. Put it into a cup and have Damien drink that." I tell her.

"Okay, thank you so much Valerie! Thank you! Thank you!" I smile at her thanks.

"No problem Kelly, if anytime you have a problem with Damien don't hesitate to call me okay?" I tell her with a smile on my face.

"Okay! Thank you again! Bye!" She ends the call.

Now I wait for Emmett to return with news about the nomad.

*Hey guys! Thank you all so much for waiting for a update! I had a big plate full of stuff I had to do. Plus I started writing a vampire love story, (sadly no twilight) in that book. I also have been listening to ASMR videos from YouTube. So I do apologise! Anyway have a good day/Afternoon/Night!***
