I couldn't resist doing a story like this. I love the ones where they have a baby – they're so cute. I hope I do it justice! Read and review plz to let me know if I should keep going!
Oh My God. I looked down at the object I was holding with tears glistening in my eyes. Alice knocked on the door.
"Bella? Are you OK?" She walked in with a worried expression.
"Is this really true?" She grinned.
"YES! Oh Bella I'm so excited!" I smiled at her enthusiasm.
I sighed and looked down at the test again. "Alice this isn't supposed to happen…it's supposed to be impossible."
"Bella," she said, sitting down next to me, "Edward is going to be really happy about this, you know." I nodded. I really hoped he wouldn't freak out.
"Where is he?"
"Bella? Alice? Are you in there?" came my husband's voice from outside the bathroom door.
"Yeah come on in!" Alice excused herself so I could talk to Edward alone. I looked into his bright topaz eyes.
"Bella what's wrong?" I smiled and stood up and showed him the little pink plus sign. He took it from my hands and stared at it in disbelief and confusion.
"What's this?" I laughed and rolled my eyes.
"Edward, for someone who's been through medical school twice, I would have thought you'd know what a pregnancy test was."
"Silly Bella, of course I know what it is. What I meant was why do you have it and why is there a pink plus sign?"
Alice walked in again and sighed, frustrated. "Edward, maybe you're not getting it. What Bella is trying to tell you is that she is PREGNANT with YOUR child. Understand?" I closed my eyes and waited for Edward's reaction.
When he didn't say anything, I opened my eyes slowly and nervously. I saw a huge grin across his face and his eyes were alight with excitement and a hint of confusion.
He closed the distance between us in one stride and scooped me up into a bear hug. He looked down at me and kissed me passionately.
"But…I thought it was impossible…" he murmured to himself. I giggled.
"So did I, but it seems when it comes to us, nothing is impossible." He grinned and nodded in agreement.
As it turns out, I was pregnant. Carlisle checked me himself. He asked me a bunch of questions, felt my stomach and took a blood sample. I had been throwing up constantly for the past few days, but I had put it down to stomach flu or something.
I never in my wildest dreams would have thought that we would get the chance to be parents. It was a miracle.
Edward was ecstatic. It was actually kind of cute. He was always happy and even took Emmett's teasing about him 'knocking me up' lightly.
I however was sick as a dog. Every morning, without fail, I would clamp my hand over my mouth and Edward would pick me up and sprint to the bathroom so I could lean over the toilet and wretch up everything I had eaten in the past 24 hours.
Edward would hold my hair out of my face and rub my back soothingly while vomit-induced tears ran down my cheeks.
A month after we found out about the pregnancy, Alice forced me to go shopping with her. I protested and said I would only come if Edward went with us.
Alice reluctantly agreed and we set of to Seattle to find stuff for the baby.
"So, do you want to know what the baby is going to be?"
"No!" we both said. I gave her a smile. "Alice, we want it to be a surprise. This is our one and only chance to have a family and we want to do it right."
She sighed. "OK, I guess you're right." Her face immediately brightened when we passed a shop full of baby stuff and a whole section devoted to maternity wear. "Let's go in here! We'll get neutral colour clothing, toys, and blankets - the works!"
As we wandered around the store, Alice got more and more excited. As soon as we reached the clothing section, she disappeared, shouting over her shoulder that we can do as we please and be back here in and hour.
"Edward, I'm hungry. Can we go get something to eat please?"
"Of course. What would you like?" he asked as we walked towards the food court.
I looked around, trying to find something that would catch my eye.
"I think I'll go for a salad sandwich." I sat down and Edward went off to buy me my food and a bottle of water.
I began to scoff it down as soon as he placed it in front of me. He chuckled.
"What?"
"Well, no offence, but do you think maybe you should slow down a little?"
"But I'm hungry!" I protested.
He rolled his eyes. "OK, but at least take a drink – you're going to make yourself sick."
I took a few sips of my water and took another big bite of the sandwich. Once I had it all down, Alice appeared in front of us.
"Hey, I thought we were going to meet you back there?"
"Doesn't matter, I already got everything."
"Don't we get a say in anything, Alice?" I complained.
"Silly Bella, I looked ahead to see what you would want. By the way, you have excellent taste," she said flashing her teeth at me. I rolled my eyes.
"OK, I want to go home, I'm exhausted." Alice opened her mouth to protest but Edward held his hand up to her face.
"Save it, Alice. She needs to go home and rest." Alice pouted but didn't say anything.
--
I must have fallen asleep on the way home, because the next thing I knew, I was waking up in our big golden bed.
"Morning, love," came my favorite sound in the world.
"Morning?" He chuckled.
"Yeah, you've been out for a while." I ran that over in my head. We left Seattle at 4pm yesterday. It was now….11am. Wow.
"Edward, I wanted to talk to you about something."
"Yes?"
"Well…I was just wondering…when am I going to be changed now?" He let me snuggle up closer to him.
"Yes, I was thinking about that too. I think maybe a couple of months after the baby is born? You know, once we get settled and everything. I think we'll also have to move to Alaska first, too." He looked at me apologetically.
I nodded. "OK, that seems reasonable. Now, more importantly, what've we got to eat? I'm starving," I said, patting my belly.
His eyes lit up at my gesture and he put his hand on mine. We looked at each other – our eyes saying everything that we couldn't. I don't think life gets better than this.
He leaned in to kiss me softly. "I love you, Bella."
"I love you, too." I smiled at him, and my stomach chose that inappropriate time to grumble. He laughed and picked me up to take me downstairs to the kitchen.
Well let me know what you think! Review, review, review!
