August 2001 – Third Person POV – 9 Years Old

"Bella this is Edward. He came over to play with you." Jasper smiled at his little sister. "And you remember Alice don't you?"

"Hi Bella."

"Hi. You wanna play hide and seek."

"Sure."

"NOT IT." They both yelled at the same time.

They ran around the yard playing for a couple hours before sitting down beside Jasper and Alice on the swing. Alice got them a couple popsicles. Green for Edward and purple for Bella.

"Alice, is Jasper your boyfriend?" Edward asked and Bella wrinkled her nose. Her daddy says boys are okay to play with, but not to be boyfriends.

Alice laughed. "Yes he is."

Edward stared at her. "Oh." He wondered if Bella would be his girlfriend and thought about asking her, but chickened out. He looked at her with her pigtails and slightly purple lips. He thought she'd make a good girlfriend.

"Bella!"

Bella was coloring when she heard her mom yell for her. Happily she threw down her markers and ran down the steps. She'd bet that Alice and Edward were here. Jasper was taking Alice on a date, so Alice brought Edward over so they could play again. Bella liked playing with Edward, he wasn't mean to her like the other boys and he always shared his cookies with her.

Once she was downstairs they went outside to the backyard so they could play in their house, which was actually just a old shed that Bella's dad never tore down.

They were playing I spy when Edward asked Bella if she had ever kissed a boy. "Yucky, no!"

Edward signed. "Well, I've never kissed a girl either. Maybe we should be each others first kiss that way it wont be so gross."

Bella thought for long moment and agreed maybe Edward was right. So with clenched eyes and overly puckered lips they kissed. A simple innocent first kiss. After, they went back to playing I spy until Bella's mom yelled for them to come eat dinner.

June 2007 – 15 years old

Bella was nervous, more so then she has ever been in her life. Edward, her best friend was picking her up in just 30 minutes to go on their first date. She didn't know what to wear or how to act. She was really starting think that dating Edward was a bad idea. Sure he was the cutest boy she ever met. He had really pretty green eyes and a killer smirk, but she was starting to think she just wasn't ready. She growled at her closet before stomping out of her room and going two doors down to knock on Jaspers. Alice opened the door and smiled.

"Need help with your outfit?"

Bella smiled. "Yes please."

They walked to Bella's room together, leaving Jasper behind. Once there Bella sat on her bed, while Alice went through her closet.

"Have you and Jasper found a house yet?" Bella asked.

Alice and Jasper were 21 and freshly engaged, but before they got married they wanted to live together for a while. Carlisle and Charlie didn't like it, but they couldn't stop them. So they agreed to help them get a house. Jasper wanted a farm, so they needed a big down payment.

"Not yet. We are thinking of maybe buying land and having one built." Alice told her, picking out a simple pair of dark jeans and a light blue, loose fitting sweater.

Bella smiled at the outfit and started getting undressed. While putting on the clothes Alice picked, she asked. "That will be a lot more expensive. Do you think you will get a big enough loan?"

"We don't know yet, but we are hopeful." Alice lead Bella to her vanity and started brushing her hair. She brushed and fluffed it until it was hanging perfectly off Bella's shoulders, before giving Bella a kiss on the cheek and going back to Jaspers room.

Bella huffed and went downstairs to wait for Edward. Her mom was in the kitchen cooking dinner and her dad was just walking in from work. "Hey Bell." He greeted her, putting his jacket up. "Why are you so dressed up?"

"I already told you, dad. I have a date with Edward tonight."

His expression turned sour. "Right."

Bella sighed as her father made his way to his lazy boy and turned on the TV. She turned toward the kitchen and went to take a seat on the counter where her mom was cooking.

Renee smiled at her. "You look pretty."

Bella blushed. "Alice picked it out and fixed my hair."

They talked a bit more while Renee worked, before they heard the doorbell ring. Bella's eyebrow lift, Edward never rings the doorbell, he always just comes right in just like she does at his house. It was a date though, she told herself, this is definitely different. She jumped off the counter to go get the door before Charlie, but when she turned into the living room she heard them talking.

"Hi Edward." She walked up to Charlie, interrupting what he was saying.

Edward smiled. "Hi Bella. You look beautiful, as always."

Bella blushed and Charlie grunted. "Have her back by 11pm."

"Yes sir." Edward said to Charlie's back, as he had already turned and started back towards his chair. He looked back at Bella and handed her the flowers he had in his hand. Bella blushed, realizing he had held them the whole time and she hadn't noticed.

"Thank you." She whispered, pulling them up to her nose for a long smell. "They are beautiful. Just let me go put them in some water and we can go."

Bella quickly put the flowers in a vase and grabbed her jacket. Edward grabbed her hand as they walked to the car. She smiled when she saw Esme sitting with the car running. "She didn't have to sit in the car."

He laughed and opened the backseat door for her. "She wanted to."

Bella got into the car and smiled at Esme. "Hi, thanks for taking us out."

"Oh, no thanks needed sweetheart."

Edward came around and sat in the backseat with Bella. As soon as the door closed Esme pulled out of the driveway and Edward grabbed Bella's hand, letting them rest together in the middle seat. Bella blushed at the warm feeling it gave her. Bella realized that Esme was driving towards La Push and gave Edward a confused look. He smiled at her and pulled her hand up to kiss the back of it. "Just wait." He whispered around her hand. It was just 20 minutes later that they pulled up to first beach. Esme smiled back at them and Bella heard the trunk pop open. "You two have fun and I will be here in a couple hours to pick you up."

Edward reached up and kissed his mom on the cheek before jumping out and coming to Bella's side of the car to open her door. "Bye Esme. Thanks again." Esme just nodded and smiled as Bella got out of the car.

Edward was already at the trunk, pulling out a big picnic basket. Bella smiled at the site and followed Edward as he walked down the beach. Bella feeling slightly bold, reached over and grabbed his hand. He smirked and Bella blushed. They walked for about 15 minutes, leaving behind the kids and people playing on the beach. Edward let go of Bella's hand to open the basket to lay a blanket on the sand. He sat the basket on the blanket and sat down beside it. Bella took her spot right beside him.

"This is nice." She noted. It was a little cold, but still nice.

"I wanted to do something different, something special, just for you."

"Well this is."

They ate a small meal of pita bread sandwiches, coke in wine glasses, then fruit. Once they was done Bella helped Edward pack it all back into the basket then together they laid back on the blanket, staring at the slightly darkening sky.

"I spy with my little eye something beautiful."

Bella laughed at him, realizing he was playing their childhood game. She stopped laughing though when she turned to look at him and he was staring right at her. It was her that he spied.

He smiled. "Bella have you ever kissed a boy?"

She laughed again, but before she could answer he was kissing her. It wasn't as innocent as the kiss they shared some years ago, it was still sweet, gentle as a butterfly wing and it filled Bella with warmth.

September 4 2010 – Age 18

"You look beautiful, Bella." Alice said. "I don't think there has ever been a more beautiful bride…well besides me."

Bella smiled at her sister in law. Her and Jasper got married just a few months ago in February. "Its crazy, isn't it? No one thought that you and Jasper would make it being together since 14 and here me and Edward are."

Alice nodded. "I for one never thought my baby brother would marry my boyfriends sister." She laughed. "But I couldn't have picked a better woman for my brother."

Bella smiled and being careful not to wrinkle her dressed, she hugged Alice. "I couldn't have pick better for my big brother."

"Well, yeah because Alice is the best." We both turned to see Jasper leaning against the door frame. We shared a laugh before Alice left the room. Jasper walked closer to me. "Are you sure this is what you want?"

"Yes, Jasper this is what I want. We already had this conversation. I know we are young, but I love him. Nothing will ever change that."

He smiled. "Okay as long as your sure. Mom and dad are on their way in here. They wanted us to have some time alone, so I will get out of your way. I love you, Bella." Jasper hugged her and left the room. Bella found a seat on the same couch and waited for her parents. Once they got there they gave her a beautiful white Diamond and sapphire neckless and a ring that was grandma Swan's. Her mom hugged her tight before leaving and just 10 minutes later Charlie walked his daughter down to the beach to meet her soon to be husband.

August 2014 – Bella 21

Bella groaned rolling over in bed. She didn't want to get up. Today was the end of her two week wait and she wasn't looking forward to testing today. She stretched her arm out, feeling for Edward but his spot was empty and cold. He had already gone to work.

Groaning again, Bella got up and went to the bathroom. She pulled out a blue plastic cup out of the closet and peed into. She ripped the pregnancy test out of its wrapper and dipped in into the urine for the right amount of time and sighed while she wiped and flushed the urine from the cup. She threw the cup in the garbage and stared at the test. Only one line. Not pregnant. Bella stared hard still willing a line to be there. Bella grabbed the test and threw it in the trash. Leaning against the wall, she sighed. "Happy birthday to me
