How did Edward get Bella pregnant in Breaking Dawn?

Question

In the Personal Correspondence number one on the Twilight Lexicon it states:

"And since we’re talking physiology…I’ve had tons of people ask if vampires can have babies. The answer is no. When someone becomes a vampire, it’s as if they are frozen exactly as they are in that moment. His or her (and we’ll go with her because it’s more central to this discussion) body no longer experiences change. Hair does not grow, nor do fingernails (if you cut your hair, you’re stuck. That’s why Alice’s hair is so short–it was growing back from being shaved in the asylum). This applies to all changes–so a woman would no longer have any kind of ovulation cycle. If she were already pregnant when she was bitten, both she and the fetus would be frozen in that state. Which would really suck–pregnant for eternity? I’m shuddering at the thought."

So I know that Bella wasn't a vampire but Edward was, and he doesn't have any bodily fluids such as blood or sperm, so how could he have possibly gotten Bella pregnant? It makes no sense.

Also, how could they have intercourse as he wouldnt be able to get an erection as he has no blood?

Answer 1

Bella herself pondered this and came to a reasonable conclusion when she found out she was pregnant. She was still human then, her body was not frozen. It was undergoing the necessary cycles. SM said VAMPIRES couldn't have babies - and she seems to have been talking about female ones there. She never did say vampires can't sire kids... And she never did talk about the powers of vampire venom fully enough. Edward does have venom, and it seems to me that venom performs the functions of human beings' bodily fluids (blood in veins, saliva etc.), but just in a twisted way to suit the vampires.

As for your other question, er.. I have no idea, my theory may as well cover that part.  

Answer 2

I think that instead of blood-theres venom in the vains, so to me that explains the erection

as for the sperm thing- im just as mind boggled as you are

Answer 3

hmm..that is an interesting question...

well Breaking Dawn is a fiction book..and anything can happen in a ficton book

i guess that Stephanie Meyers just wrote it that way

  

Answer 4
