Disclaimer: I do not own the Twilight Saga or its characters. They belong to Stephenie Meyer. I am not Stephenie Meyer. I only own the plot and storyline. |All Human |Alternate Universe| It's my first Twilight fan fiction to be published here so don't be harsh. I'm not sure if I should put Bella and Edward or Bella and Jacob. You'll understand.
Bella's POV
"Jake, could you go a little slower?" I asked while I held on tight to my seat, "the baby and I are getting worried. If this car is going to crash, we're all going to die."
He started to slow the car down and flashed an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, babe."
I smiled at my fiancé then down at my stomach. We were going to the doctor for a checkup. Ever since Jacob found out I was pregnant, about two months ago, he's been acting too protective of me. In fact, we already had the nursery set up.
The cool Forks weather made me shiver. I never got used to it since I moved here when I was 17. Was it really 10 years ago? I couldn't believe it. Before I was just another stranger, but now I'm getting married to the man I love. And two months pregnant with his child! I sighed as we walked into Forks Hospital. Everything felt the same since my first trip to the ER.
"What are you thinking?" Jacob asked.
I shook my head, "Nothing." I looked up from my view and saw him again. "Edward?"
It was the same man that I first fell in love with, before he broke up with me. We had an on and off relationship until I decided it was time to stop it. Then I realized I loved Jake, my best friend. But Edward and I are in good terms now. I finally had forgiven him during our High School reunion last June. It's September now. Surprisingly, he is still single, as if he's waiting for me to change my mind. I told him I'll tell him if I would, jokingly. It was the first time I saw him again after the reunion.
"Bella," he said, "and Jacob. What are you here for?"
"Well that was what I was going to ask you!" I said.
"We're in here for a checkup," Jacob answered for me, "Bella's pregnant."
Edward's smile faded, "Oh right, I was waiting for you guys."
I understood what that meant, I knew he studied Medicine. "So there are two Dr. Cullens now?" I asked him.
"Yeah," he replied, "say hello to Dr. Cullen Senior and Junior. Let's get into my clinic. How many months have you been pregnant?"
"We found out two months ago. Jake has gone all panicky since he found out. Did you know he already got the nursery set up in a week?"
Edward chuckled, "Baby on the brain."
We were sat down on his desk again after the exam.
"You're not two months pregnant Bella," Edward, I mean Dr. Cullen Jr., corrected; "You're two and a half months pregnant. You should eat more and get start drinking more milk. Walk around a bit. Let Jacob do all the heavy lifting. And most of all, try not to fall on your face."
Jacob actually laughed when he spoke. He never did that before. He used to be so angry whenever he saw him.
"Don't worry, doc. I'll keep a good eye on Bella here." he said.
Edward's crooked smile, the one that used to be my favorite, started creeping up his face. "Bella, just one more thing," he said before we left, "Happy Birthday."
"Thanks," I said smiling back at him. Jacob pressed his palm against his forehead.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
He laughed, "I totally forgot it was your birthday. And he had to remind me. I feel totally stupid. I'm sorry I forgot, and I'm sorry that I didn't get to buy a gift for you."
"That's okay," I said kissing him, "all you gotta do is stay right here beside me and the baby, all the time."
He kissed my cheek, "You're amazing. I promise I'll stay."
By the time we got to our little house in La Push, I found a medium-sized box next to our doorway. Jacob picked it up before I got to read what the box said.
"Doc said I should do all the heavy lifting." He said, "The package is from Dr. Edward Cullen."
He started to read the message, "It says, 'To my dearest friend Bella. I hope you and the baby are okay. I got this the time I knew you were getting a checkup. There are two boxes in here, one for you and the other one's for the baby. Say hi to Jacob for me. Edward'. Where do you want me to put this?"
"In the nursery," I answered, "so I wouldn't need to lift the box around much."
I sighed as I opened the box for the baby. It was 5 times bigger than the one for me. I frowned a bit. I found a lot of books, toys, milk and some clothes inside. I think there were a few diapers too. I was about to start to arranging its contents when I found a little note at the bottom in Edward's elegant handwriting, 'The books and the milk is for you. The rest is for the baby. You won't need diapers, right? Read the books, it'll help you through your pregnancy and parenting. The milk would help the baby if you drink it. Take care.' I smiled.
After my work was done, I got back to the smallest box, the one for me. When I opened it, I found another note. 'Happy Birthday,' it said, 'I know you hated celebrating birthdays, and you didn't want anyone to get you gifts but I'm against that. So I'm giving you a little reminder to add to that bracelet Jacob gave you.' Curious, I lifted the note to reveal a crystal heart charm. It was beautiful. I added it to my bracelet immediately, I'm sure Jake won't mind.
I was glad he didn't get mad or anything from seeing the charm. He was happy that I was happy with it. I'm sure that there are no other 'special feelings' with what Edward was doing. He's just being a good friend and a good doctor to me and the baby.
Or am I wrong?
Author's Note: So how was it? Please review. It's my first one and I'm gonna publish the next chapter if anyone reviews.
