17 I have a goal
(I'm coming back earlier than planned. Thanks for this idea Arcos99)
The place the company meet was being held was at a building that had just been made. The out side was like a church with but the inside was like a reception hall that lead to many doors.
We had to walk down a hall with a red carpet, then through a big double door. When we opened it there were tons of people dressed in luxurious clothes and had their kids with them having fun and talking.
I looked around and saw it was a huge open area with the carpet being red. There were stairs that lead up to a stage. It was all mesmerizing. The tables, decorations, I can also smell the food from somewhere.
"This place is amazing." I muttered. I heard kids playing around with other kids and parents talking. I looked over to Alice and saw her dazed, but it wasn't her having a vision. "Alice." She looked over to me and smiled a bit.
"Let's get a table." She nodded and we walked off from my parents and Mia who was looking around a bit annoyed at how loud it was. She was pouting and mumbling about not liking loud people.
...
Me and Alice found a table for just two people and sat there. It was a little to the back, so we could talk about whatever we wanted without going noticed.
<Alice POV>
Walking into the room the first thing I see are the kids. They run around laughing, playing, talking and just..being kids. I have always wanted to take care of my own cute, adorable, playful bad kids.
That's only a dream though. I'm a vampire . My body is stuck in time and none of my organs work, not even my reproductive system. I'm not sure how Zane would even take knowing we'll never be able to have kids.
He might be mad, sad, or end up depressed, because no matter how far into our relationship we progress we can never reach the stage of adulthood with each other.
That's the reason I'm keeping it a secret. I'm scare of the possibility of him leaving me. He's my soulmate so I know he'll be happiest with me no matter who he chooses if he leaves me.
I just don't want to take the chance. I saw Zane look over to me and call my name with concern clear in his voice. I don't want to lose the felling of someone other than my adopted family felling concerned for me.
My whole life was people calling me crazy, possessed, or weird. The only people who didn't was my family and when I met Zane. He hurt people who talked bad about me even though he barely knows me.
There was no way I would risk loosing him. I smiled and he wanted to find a seat just for us. We got some seats in the back for two people. All this thinking about loosing Zane made me not want to be away from him all today so I sat in his lap to be as close as possible.
I started staring back at the kids and parents talking and playing. I was just as envious of a family as Rosalie is. Sighing I tightened my hold on Zane. I'm sure anyone else would have died by now.

<Zane POV>
I held Alice in a hold and when she sighed looking at the kids and parents I knew what the problem was. She wanted a family of her own.
'Maybe I can ingrain my blood into her venom and see which takes over and if so would it help them.' I left that thought in my head because I wasn't going to use her as a test subject and I need to be sure if there are other ways.
...
The presentation started with a speech from my the company that orchestrated the party/expo. He was talking about having the greatest companies come together to form on mega company for the better of society.
The first thing I noticed was he was a vampire. That was evident from the red eyes of a human drinking vampire. The next was his evil speech. He gave the whole we all need to help society and bring it to a new era.
Alice noticed this as well but she was still sad about not being able to have kids. I knew me killing the nomads changed the entire new moon movie.
...
The speeches were over with after about two hours and now people were being led to the attraction that were set up in another room. Kids were being kids. Looking curiously and cutely at everything they could.
It was funny watching Mia go from complaining to curiosity then to amazement. I laughed a bit looking at the kids. This was one of the reasons I personally wanted to have kids too.
I looked back at Alice and she was looking down at the floor. This hit my heart. I wanted the usual energetic, cute, playful, vixen Alice. This whole time she has been like a mute kid.
"Hey Alice, let's get some fresh air." I said and she nodded slightly. I told my parents and they nodded.
...
"Talk to me. What's the problem?" I asked. I knew the problem, she not the others ever mentioned a thing about not being able to have kids.
"..." She stayed quiet. Looking down at the ground.
"Alice, it's going to be fine. You can tell me." I said pulling her into a hug. She buried her head into my chest and the hug kept getting tighter and tighter.
"We can't have kids. I want kids, a family from me and you." She said desperately not looking up to me.
"Being what I am takes that away from both of us. It hurts knowing I'll never be able to be like those parents who talk about their kids, brag about them, or even spent time with them. It hurts." She explained her feelings to me and it started getting to me too just how bad living as a vampire is. Definitely for a female.
She stopped and looked up at me and I saw her wanting to cry but once again being a vampire looked like instead of not being able to cry she was forced to hold it.
(I was firmly bashed about Twilight vampires not being able to cry when Alice cried in a previous chapter. I didn't feel like changing it at the time so I'm using the fact that they can't cry along with other things for plot. Enjoy.)
"Then I'll find a way. There has to be a way. Your tastebuds work, also how is your head a weak point if it's not connected to something that makes it function like a humans? I'll find a way to have kids with you. I guarantee it." I said holding Alice tighter.
That was my goal. Even if it wasn't, at some point I would have to address this problem no matter how tedious it will be.
