A/N: Before you read, let me apologize for the almost 3 year long wait for more content. You have been relatively patient with me, and for that I am so grateful. See you in the author's note at the bottom. Now, without further ado: Chapter 6 of My Bambina!

It's been almost a month since I found Emilia, and we're getting ready to celebrate her first birthday. Last week, Aro and Marcus had successfully calculated her age and birthday. Turns out my guess about her age when I found her was correct.

Athenodora and I have just finished planning Emilia's birthday party. It will be absolutely fabulous! The themes are Winnie the Pooh and pink fairy princesses. Since we don't eat human food but want to keep human traditions for her, we're just going to have a cupcake for my bambina instead of a big cake. The guard and Cacius are invited as long as they behave, and of course Marcus and Dora are invited. The party will be held in the throne room since it's the only place in the palace big enough to fit all of us.

"I'll see you later, Dora," I say as I leave Athenodora's room.

The heels of my shoes click against the castle's stone floor as I go to my garden. Alec is there babysitting Emilia (unlike his sister, he has warmed up to my bambina) since Aro and Marcus were in a meeting in the library with Cacius while Dora and I were party planning.

"Thanks for watching her for me, Alec," I said as I scooped my bambina up off the ground near my azalea bushes. As I smiled at my muddy, giggling little girl, I noticed Alec nod in respect and retreat to the castle out of the corner of my eye.

"Come on, sweet pea," I said giggling slightly myself, "I think it's bath time for you now." Then I kiss her forehead as I carry her upstairs to the bathroom. I turn on the water in the tub, getting it to the right temperature before adding a bit of bubble bath.

After I got Emilia in the tub, I quickly wash her off and then it was all laughs, bubbles and bath toys. She absolutely loves her rubber ducky. After lots of fun and soapy play, I lifted her out of the tub and wrapped her up in a fluffy pink towel.

I can't wait for next week, my bambina's birthday party will be the greatest celebration out castle has ever seen.

A/N: HEY! Yes, I am alive! Sorry for not updating the story in almost 3 years and making this author's note longer than the actual chapter. I also want to apologize for the poor writing, grammar and fact checking you have been witness to in all chapters from before 2016, this chapter included. Almost 3 years ago I decided that I was going to stockpile chapters so I could more easily post them for you, but that didn't happen as I kinda fell out of love with this story and this fandom for a while. A few weeks ago, after receiving an anonymous review yelling at me to update (I sincerely thank whoever you were that posted that comment) and finding myself reading fluffy Carlisle/Esme fanfics, I decided that it's time to update again.

Next time you need to harass me to update, feel free to tweet me your pleas for an update. My twitter accounts are: maxinesdream13 and lizziemblack

The first account I listed for you is my main account now, and the second one is my old twitter role play account on which I would do Twilight role play as my original character Lizzie (for whom my fanfic account is named). That role play actually originally inspired this story. My first fanfic ever was about Lizzie, but I've had a lot of character development since then for her. MY OC LIZZIE WILL BE MAKING A CAMEO IN THE NEXT CHAPTER OF MY BAMBINA, WHICH I HAVE ALREADY BEGUN TO WRITE.

If you want to know about her, go check out my story Unraveling Lizzie which has a bit of her "superhero origin story" thing, and feel free to tweet me questions. Also, check out the Harry Potter fanfiction I co write with my best friend (who has tried for the past 2.5 years to get me to update My Bambina) to find out more about Lizzie because she is in several chapters. Our fanfic is available on Quotev and it's called Alia LeChat. Lizzie appears in chapters 39, 44, 45 and 49, with mentions of her without actual comeos in chapters 50 and 51.
