Ok, here's the first chapter of 'Impossible Miracle'. I was just working this, and I decided to post the first chapter and see what everyone thinks of the story. If I should continue, yada yada yada, and I just couldn't wait, I was too excited.
"It's the thought that counts, I ought to know. " -Edward Cullen.

------------------------------------------
I sat curled on the floor of the bathroom, my arms curled around my stomach. This wasn't happening, it wasn't possible. It can't be, and yet here I am, sitting on the floor of the bathroom curled against the wall.
Vampires weren't suppost to be able to have children. That's what Edward told me, that's what all the Cullens told me.
Edward and I had finally gotten married, and we just returned from our honeymoon a month ago.
He would be here soon. He had gone hunting with Emmett and Jasper for a few days, and he promised me he would come see me as soon as he came back.
Speaking of Edward, how was he going to react? Would he be angry? Happy? Afraid like I was? What was I going to tell him? 'Hey Edward, guess what? I'm gonna have your baby!'
Just then, the realization hit me. I was having a baby with my husband, the man- vampire, I loved more than anything. Why wasn't I happy?
A small smile appeared on my face as I slowly moved my hand to my thin stomach.
A baby, I was going to have a baby, a living breathing creature. (A/N- or a possible undead one hehe)
I smiled again, tears of joy sliding down my cheeks. My eyes glanced over at the three pregnancy tests lying on the counter. At first I thought it was the flu, but while I was picking up some medicine for my stomach, I noticed the pregnancy tests on one of the shelves.
I bought a few to prove myself wrong, to prove to myself that I never would have children with Edward. Imagine my surprise when they all said positive.
Alice's gift dawned on me suddenly, causing me to sit up straight.
"Alice," I said aloud, "I know you will see this, I know you know the truth. Please don't say anything, I need to be the one to tell Edward. If you absolutely can't contain yourself, you can tell Carlisle. But no one else, please."
I knew Alice would have a vision of me where I was now, and I knew she would tell everyone if I didn't put a leash on her now.
"Bella?" I tensed, leaning back against the wall. My angel was here, he had come for me. But I wasn't an angel, and I didn't deserve to have him come for me.
"Bella?" Edward was searching for me. I knew he could smell me, and I knew it wouldn't take him long to find me.
Sure enough, he was suddenly in front of me, his gold eyes filled with worry.
"Bella, love, what's the matter, why are you on the floor?" The worry in his voice cut deep into me. I looked up into his golden eyes.
"Edward I-" I broke off, biting my lip. In seconds Edward had scooped me up and carried me over to my bed, setting me on edge and kneeling in front of me.
"Bella love, what's wrong? You're paler than usual, and you're shaking. What's going on?" I looked into the molten golden eyes of my love, my breath hitching in my throat. I suddenly felt the over whelming want to tell Edward everything- to tell him I was pregnant. I swallowed and quickly looked away, taking a deep breath before I turned back to him. Darn him, there he goes again, dazzling me.
"That's not going to work." I told him. Edward frowned slightly, his eyes narrowed. He knew I was hiding something big, I usually gave in right away.
"Bella, what's going on? I know your hiding something. Why won't you tell me?" He stared into my eyes, and I suddenly found myself lost in his golden eyes. I bite my lip, turning away again. Edward sighed.
"Bella…"
"Edward," I cut him off, "can we go to your house?" he nodded, and I was instantly in his arms. I pressed my face against his cold chest as he raced to his Volvo.
The ride was very quiet; I stared out the window the entire time, my thoughts going in every direction. We finally pulled up to the Cullen house, and as he turned the car off, Edward turned to face me.
"Bella love…tell me what you're thinking." I mentally groaned, closing my eyes. I forced a smile on my face.
"I'm just thinking about you, what else?" Edward's eyes narrowed again, he obviously didn't believe me. But he shrugged, and I knew it was fake.
Instantly a blur was at my side, dragging me from Edward's car. I cried out in surprise and suddenly found myself if Alice's bone-crushing grasp.
"I'm so happy Bella! This is sooo exciting!" she hugged me harder, and I gasped.
"Alice… can't breath…." I muttered. Alice immediately let me go, beaming the world's biggest smile.
"Sorry Bella, I'm just so excited-"
"Ahem." Edward was standing opposite of me, arms crossed.
"Anyone want to tell me what's going on here?" Alice glanced at me, but said nothing. I shook my head. "Not now Edward, later."
His golden eyes filled with anger, but he sighed. "I'll let it go for now Bella, but eventually you'll have to tell me."
I groaned, knowing I wasn't going to be able to get out of this easily. At least I could try and forget about it for a while and spend sometime with my family.

"No way Alice. There's no way I'm going into another clothes store." Alice pouted at me as we passed by another clothes store.
Today was delightfully gloomy, so we all decided to spend sometime together and go out for a while. Even Carlisle and Esme came with us.
"Pleeeeeease Bella!" Alice begged, I shook my head firmly. Alice had already dragged me into five other stores, and had tried to drag me into ten more.
"How about a movie? I hear August Rush is a good movie, or maybe the Golden compass?" Edward suggested. I shook my head.
"Ugh, not the golden compass. That looks like the worst movie on the planet. August Rush sounds good though, sound good everyone?"
Only Jasper and Rosalie looked hesitant, but everyone else nodded.
"Then it's on!" I cheered. We made our way to the theater down the block, ignoring the stares of the teenager selling tickets, and made our way inside. Emmett insisted on buying a giant bucket of popcorn, even though he wasn't going to eat any of it. Edward rolled his eyes and Emmett and bought me my favorite drink, lemonade.
We headed into the theater, ready for an hour and 34 minutes of entertainment.

After the movie was over, we decided to kill some time and wonder around. Carlisle and Esme decided to head back to the house, leave Edward, myself, Emmett, Rosalie, Alice and Jasper to hang out together and have even more fun.
"So, what do we want to do next?" I asked, linking my arm with Edward's. Alice and Rosalie immediately glanced towards all the clothes stores. I shook my head.
"Oh hell no. I've had enough shopping for the century thank you." Emmett laughed and ruffled my hair.
"Way to go Bella!" Rosalie glared at him.
"How about some ice cream?" Jasper suggested, glancing across the street towards a small ice cream parlor. I shook my head.
"What's the point if you aren't going to eat any?" Edward grinned at me.
"We aren't going to eat any, but YOU are." I rolled my eyes.
"That'd be top awkward, eating ice cream while all of you just sit there."
"We don't mind Bella. Trust me. We don't like ice cream, it tastes awful to us." I sighed, knowing I wasn't going to win this one. "All right, let's go."
-0-
Half an hour later, we left the ice cream parlor, me trying to get all the ice cream off my nose and cheeks. Apparently the Cullens thought it was funny to stick ice cream all over me.
"I can't get it off!" I mumbled, rubbing my nose. Edward laughed and leaned over to help me, wiping the ice cream off my nose with his cool fingers. I temporarily forgot to breath.
"Breath Bella." Alice said from behind Edward. I took a deep breath, and my cheeks turned red. Everyone laughed, causing my cheeks to turn an even deeper red.
"We couldn't help it little sis, you're so funny when you're embarrassed." Emmett laughed, I glared mockingly at him.
He only laughed harder, and I huffed, turning around with my arms crossed. And that's when I spotted it.
A little boy that was playing with a small ball accidentally kicked his ball, sending it flying into the middle of the road. The little boy let go of his mother's hand and dashed into the street after the ball, just as a large truck came around the corner.
Instantly my thoughts returned to my own child, and I pictured my child running into the street after a toy, only in my thoughts, he didn't make it.
"Look out!" I screamed, and before I knew what I was doing, I raced towards the little boy, scooping him up in my arms. I turned and was frozen in place as the truck headed straight for us. I cringed, closing my eyes and turning to my back face the truck. If I was going down, I wasn't taking this innocent little boy with me.
"Bella!" I heard Edward's voice seconds before something scooped me up and pulled me out of the way, only seconds before the truck would have hit us.
Then, we were on the sidewalk, held securely in Edward's arms. He buried his face in my hair.
"God Bella, I thought I'd lost you." He muttered into my hair. I buried my face against his chest, trying to hold back tears. The little boy was still held in my arms.
Edwards set us down, and the mother of the little boy came rushing over.
"Oh my goodness. I can't thank you enough." She hugged her little boy tight, tears in her eyes, and I suddenly saw myself and my child in that mother and her little boy. I shook my head.
"No need to thank us. I could never have watched a little boy die like that." She smiled at me, and thanked me again. The little boy thanked me, and I learned his name was Matt.
As they turned to leave, Matt turned and waved to me one last time, and shouted. "Bye Bella!" I waved at him, and before I could even turn around I was in Edward's arms, being cradled close to him.
"Are you ok Bella? Do you need me to call Carlisle?" I shook my head, yawning.
"No thank you, I just want to sleep forever." Edward chuckled, kissing my forehead.
"You just can't stay away from danger, can you Bella?" I shook my head, and we all laughed, headed for Edward's Volvo and a long night of rest.
---------------------------------------------------
Later that night, I sat on my bed, the covers pulled over my lap as I waited for Edward to come. He'd gone home to quickly change and drop his car off. Ever since I'd almost gotten run over earlier he refused to leave my side. I spent almost an hour convincing him I wasn't going to get into any danger and he could go home real fast and change.
Suddenly, he was in front of me, grinning that crooked grin I loved so much. He sat next to me and wrapped an arm around me, kissing my forehead.
"Hello love," he muttered into my hair. I smiled up at him, kissing him on the nose.
"I missed you," I muttered. His smile, if possible, grew even bigger. And for a minute I forgot to breath.
"Breath Bella." He said, and I took in a deep breath, my cheeks heating up. Edward chuckled, ruffling my hair lightly.
"You look so cute when you blush." I blushed even redder, and he laughed again, a sound so beautiful that I felt a twinge of jealousy. I sighed, resting my head on my knees.
Edward frowned, his beautiful face full of concern. "What is it Bella?" I shook my head, "nothing, it was just a human moment. A flash of jealousy, to be specific." Edward nodded, he understood.
"That is a troublesome emotion, isn't it? I feel it every time Mike hits on you at school." I laughed; he certainly had a way of making me feel better. I smiled at him.
"Thank you." I said; he stared at me. "For what?" I smiled again, crawling forward and snuggling against him, my head against his neck.
"You always make me feel better." He didn't say anything; he just ran his fingers through my hair, every now and then saying my name.
My thoughts began to drift back to my situation, and I realized, with a bit of excitement, that I would need to begin thinking about names. I also realized I had no idea what Edward's favorite names were. Trying to be sneaky, I decided to ask him.
"Edward…" I said, and he looked down at me, waiting.
"What are your favorite names?" He looked puzzled for a minute, but quickly regained his composure.
"I never really thought about it before Bella, why do you ask?" I shook my head, shrugging.
"I was just curious. I never asked you before." Edward's eyes filled with amusement. "It's something I even thought to ask you Bella." I shrugged again.
"It never really came up, till now." I said; he smiled.
"Well then, while we're on this subject, what are your favorites?" I frowned, thinking.
"I have always liked the name William. That was my grandfather's name, and I really like the name Elizabeth. But above all, I'd have to say my favorite name is Edward." My vampire husband grinned at me, leaning down to kiss me.
"As pleasant as that was Bella, I have to disagree. I think the name Bella has a much better ring to it than Edward." I shook my head.
"Oh no, Edward is much better. Trust me on that." He laughed, ruffling my hair again.
"As much as I disagree, I do think our names sound good together." I smiled,
"Edward and Bella. Hmm, you're right, they do sound good together." I leaned up to kiss his cheek.
"Just as we are perfect together." He smiled, pulling me close.
"I agree with you on that one." I smiled, and I was still smiling 10 minutes later when Edward tucked me in bed, humming my lullaby in his soothing voice.

Sorry if the golden compass thing offended anyone. I hate that movie with a passion.
So what did you think? Worth going for? If you like this chapter, wait till you see the later ones, things really get crazy then.
Here's a little preview of the next chapter!
"Bella?" I tensed, glancing towards the voice. To my surprise, it was Jacob. "Jacob?" I said, he nodded. I took the ticket the woman handed me and approched him.
"What are you doing here?" He hung his head.
"I saw you leaving... and well..." he trailed off. I felt anger boil up inside of me. I took a deep breath to try and calm myself. It didn't work.
"You shouldn't have followed me here Jake." I hissed, his eyes narrowed. "Why are you planning on leaving Bella? Without even saying goodbye?"
And there's your preview. Let me know what you think!
