Not Only in My Dreams

Chapter 30

I chance a glance at Rose before I raise my hand to knock on the door in front of us. The apartment before us was quaint as it was beautiful. I could hear a pair of feet hurrying to the front door and the next moment it swings open.

"You're here!" Amanda all but screams.

"Of course! I couldn't pass up the opportunity to see my best friend." I say as I was released from her bone crushing hug. Well for a human it was still a tight embrace.

"Rosalie. It's nice to see you again!"

"Likewise." Rosalie breathes out before she is also wrapped up in a similar hug.

"Please come in!! I am so excited you're here!" Amanda cheers as she leads us into the living room. She bends down to a blanket in the middle of the room and turns back to us. "This," she coos, "is Anabella Maria."

"Oh Amanda..." Rosalie gasps, "She is beautiful! May I?" I can tell Rosalie is just aching to hold the infant. The baby blue eyes are sparkling with joy as she reaches from her mother toward Rosalie.

"Of course! She seems to like you Rosalie." Amanda praises as she hands Anabella to Rosalie. Rosalie instantly pulls the infant to her chest and cuddles her. I watch as Rosalie walks toward the couch to play with Anabella as I speak to Amanda.

"She is gorgeous Amanda. And her name is beautiful too."

"Thank you. As you know, she is named after my mother. And her middle name is after Kane's grandmother. She is the one who raised him and that was his only request for her name." she says as she looks fondly at her baby. "And she seems to be getting along quite well with Rosalie." Amanda laughs as Rosalie is making weird faces and noises which makes Anabella laugh.

"She absolutely adores babies. I will be lucky if I get to leave with her today." I laugh as I roll my eyes.

"Oh, I will gladly steal your girlfriend. She would be a much better babysitter than what I have lined up right now." Amanda quips back playfully as we make the rest of our way into the living room.

I sit down next to Rose as I hold my finger out to Anabella. Her little hand wraps it and she shakes it joyfully. I feel Rose looking at me as I smile broadly.

"I am so happy she likes you both." Amanda says from her seat across from us. "I was wondering, Y/N, if you would be her Godmother?"

"ME?" I gasp as I dart my eyes to Amanda.

"Yes, you silly. You are quite literally the only family I have left. And Kane's Grandmother is too old to properly care for an infant if something were to happen to me. I haven't heard from Kane in a while, he is most likely on some dangerous secret mission or already dead."

"Oh Amanda." Rosalie sighs.

"Yes, I know that's morbid but Kane and I knew what he was getting into when he got deployed. I have accepted I may never see him again." Amanda says without a hint of quiver in her voice. "Even if there were other family members, I would want you to be her godmother. You are the most important person in my life other than Ana."

"I... Oh, of course I will. Amanda I promise I will do my best to be the Godmother she deserves." I promise wholeheartedly. How could I ever say no? Even if my memories are lacking from our friendship, I can see the sincerity in Amanda's eyes when she says I am the only one she would chose. I am brought from my revere when I hear an uncharacteristic squeal from beside me.

"Does this mean I can be her Aunt??" Rosalie excitedly asks.

"Of course. You are practically family already." Amanda replies happily.
