AN: Well, this is my first chapter in the series of: Being Human Has Its Inconveniences. It's a series portraying all the important human moments Bella goes through after accepting Edward's proposal. I wrote this during a VERY boring class, so you must excuse me for the randomness and the craziness that goes on. I really hope you enjoy it and REVIEW!!!

Being a Woman

I awoke happily to see that there was no rain. Clouds covered the sky yet the day was as dry as Forks could ever be (which means puddles everywhere and all, but yeah… Welcome to Forks!). Cold lips were upon my forehead and from beside me sounded the voice of an archangel.

"Bella, you've got to wake up. If you sleep in any longer, even my crazy driving won't get you to school on time."

I could clearly hear the smile in his voice even though his back was turned from me; he was now preparing my bag and clothes. I must simply have the best fiancée in the world.

I smiled widely and slowly lowered my feet to the cold floor. Halfway through the task of standing up, I doubled over, clutching the desk for support as I gasped in pain.

Edward was at my side at once.

"Bella? What's wrong? Are you okay?"

He seemed genuinely worried; yet etched onto his face were several emotions I couldn't comprehend: realization, embarrassment, understanding then pity.

I stopped short, staring at his face as the heat flooded into my cheeks. I felt like crying. All these months he's been with me… Never has he uttered a word; I thought he didn't know! I sank further into my bed, horrified, as I realized that he's known all along; yet never said anything, being the gentleman he was.

"You knew! All along! Oh god!" I buried my face into my pillow as tears flowed from my eyes, my emotions flared and I started sobbing furiously.

"Bella! Oh no… Please don't cry! Please! I'm sorry, sweetheart, so sorry! But I don't mind! I understand!"

His voice was frantic as he scooped me up into his arms, cradling me against his granite chest, brushing the hair away from my face. I felt so loved as I looked up to him with doe-like eyes, my embarrassment completely forgotten.

His perfect brows creased in confusion at the sudden change of mood. I groaned and clutched my stomach, biting my lips as the forgotten pain flared once more.

Before I could move an inch, he had the phone to his ear. No more than a second later, he was whispering rapidly into the earpiece. As he snapped it shut moment later, he turned to me.

"Carlisle's coming over."

That simple, innocent statement left me speechless. Edward laid me on the bed and wiped my forehead with a wet towel… wait where did that come from?

Next thing I know, Carlisle appeared. He had a bag in his hands and a worried expression was carved onto his beautiful features. He looked from me to Edward as a small smile appeared on his face.

That's when it happened… The unexpected. I burst out laughing. The situation was so funny, I couldn't contain myself. Here I was, lying down on my bed, being fussed over by two beautiful vampires just because it was my time of the month. I looked over to the two men, half horrified, half amused. Edward was standing awkwardly by my side, holding my hand, while Carlisle tried (and failed I might add) to hide his smile.

The handy doctor took something out of his bag, chuckling lightly.

"Well, two Tylenols would have to do for menstruation pain."

And I started laughing again, choking out:

"I can't BELIEVE you just said menstruation!"
