How Are You Alive?

Chapter 1: Big News

"No Alice! I absolutely 100 refuse!"

I told my best friend and sister-in-law in the dressing room at the Anchorage Mall. As much as I really did despise going shopping, this time I can admit I DID need it, seeing as how Alice hid all my clothes and then later, thanks to Emmett and Jasper, burned them in the woods near our home in Denali.

"Alice, I really don't know why you insist on me getting that! What purpose is it going to serve where it's freezing all the time?" I said after Alice gave me a questioning look and shoved the clothes toward me.

"My dear Bella, you know that there's more than one way we can do this and I'm giving you the easiest one." Alice said giving me a evil glare. Rosalie, who had also accompanied us, turned against me as she usually did when we were on a shopping excursion.

"Bella? You do know Alice is right though, don't you?" Rosalie finally said after a few moments of laughter from Alice smacking me upside the head for insulting her.

"Why do I need a new dress anyway? I have plenty of beautiful ones as it is." I said rubbing the spot where Alice smacked me.

"You mean…Edward didn't tell you!" Rosalie exclaimed, shocked.

"Didn't tell me what?" I said confused, and now eager to know.

"Um. Well…We're going on a family vacation." Alice told while shoving the dress towards me.

"To where? I told Edward, I didn't want to go anywhere!" I asked.

"Oh, it wasn't Edward's idea. It was Esme and Carlisle's. Their anniversary is coming up and they want to go somewhere special then they decided to make it a family vacation!" Rosalie said excitedly.

"Really? And all this time I thought that Edward was planning something. Where are we going to?" I finally said surprised, and Rosalie piped in with "We're going to…" and she mumbled the last part.

"WE'RE GOING WHERE!" I shouted.

"Bella, calm down. It's only Italy for like 3 days…and I AM making you go shopping with me and Rose!" Alice stated, I started having flashbacks of my last trip to Italy to stop Edward…but the part that scared me the most was the Volturi. I started to freak out when my cell phone started ringing, the number was blocked so I tried to calm down and then I answered it, in a shaky voice.

"Hello?" I said and then the velvety sweet voice of my husband started talking to me on the other line.

"My dear Bella. How are you love? I'm sorry I haven't told you about the vacation yet, but I wanted it to be a surprise for you," he cooed from over the phone "oh. Sorry I have to call you back ok? Carlisle needs to speak to me about something important. I'll see you when you get home, if you're home soon and don't let Alice go too crazy ok?"

"Alright." Was all I could say and then the call ended. After two more hours of shopping we headed back home, with the whole trunk of Alice's Porsche filled with shopping bags, and within 4 hours we were home, where I was greeted by Edward, Jasper, and Emmett. As soon as Edward saw me he started to laugh, which confused me because I didn't know why he was laughing at me. "What is so funny Edward?" I finally asked.

"Oh, nothing my sweet Isabella." He said in a velvety voice, I glared at the fact that he used my real name, he then chuckled and after another minute he spoke again.

"Alice, I would just like to thank you" he said still laughing and gave her a wink. I was now way past confused and so I decided to ask Alice, who of course saw it coming.

"Alice, what's going on?" I asked and she blushed then ran away and of course, I wasn't going to run after her, seeing as how I was still human and that I was still clumsy.

I finally got frustrated and took my many bags, much to my despise for shopping and expensive clothes, and went upstairs and put everything away where it should go. When I realized I was freezing, I decided to go take a nice, hot shower and just relax, but when I was about half-way done, someone put the arms around my body and just held me there, and when I looked up to see Edward, I blushed and looked away.

"Love? Are you mad?" Edward asked lifting my chin so I could see him. No matter how badly I wanted to stay mad at Edward, I couldn't.

"Yes! Why can't you just tell me what was so funny! I hate not knowing things!" I said a little irritably.

"Bella, it's nothing for you to worry about ok? I promise." Edward said. I glared at him and he finally gave in.

"Bella, its nothing. It's more like I should be over-reacting because of all the people in town, well mostly girls, are 'ogling' me. It's ridiculous!" He said getting frustrated.

"Then how is it funny?" I asked grabbing a towel and stepping out of the shower and turning off the water. After I wrapped the towel around my body and grabbed one for my hair and walked into our room, advancing closer to my closet.

"Because, my dear, you're the only one I have and will ever want." He said calmly and seductively, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"And you're just as beautiful, if not more beautiful than the first day we met. I wouldn't want to go another day without you, Isabella Marie Cullen." Edward said, with a little bit of amusement at calling me Isabella Cullen.

I started to feel my body betray me as a few stray tears escaped. Edward seemed shocked by my reaction, but never the less wiped away my tears.

"Love, why are you crying?" he asked dragging me to the bed and sitting me on his lap.

"Because! I'm worried ok? I don't want to loose you!" I said, embarrassed. Edward gave me a weird look and then smiled.

"Bella, your not going to loose me to ANYONE. I love you Isabella." He said embracing me and again I glared at him. I tore from him and ran to the bathroom, and just in time, vomited in the toilet.

Edward knocked lightly on the door after a few minutes.

"Bells? Are you ok?" he asked and walked in the bathroom. I was laying my head on the bathtub.

"Yeah. I just need to lay down" I said and slowly got up. I walked over to my closet and got dressed in some sweats and tank top. I brushed my hair out and threw it into a messy bun, just in case I need to puke again. After about an hour and 3 bathroom trips, Edward insisted on getting Carlisle. I wasn't going to try and fight against it. In the few minutes it took Edward to get Carlisle I managed to return to the bathroom for the fourth time in the past hour.

When Carlisle and Edward re-entered the room, I was rinsing my mouth out with water from the bathroom. I went and followed Carlisle's orders by going to lay back on the bed. After examining me, and leaving only the flu and food poisoning to be possibilities, Rosalie came in.

"What's wrong with Bella?" she asked concerned.

"Well, to me it looks like it's either food poisoning or the flu." Carlisle said calmly. Rosalie smiled and then asked to the boys to leave.

"I want to talk to Bella for a moment ok? Privately" she said.

The boys left the room and Rosalie danced over to my side of the bed and sat down.

She lowered her voice to a whisper "Bella? Can I ask you something?" she asked.

I nodded my head, and she continued "Is your period late?" she asked. My mouth dropped, I hadn't even thought about, my period was almost three weeks late.

"Oh my gosh…." Was all I could manage to say.

"Ill go pick up a test for you ok? I want to know." and with that she danced out the door and I could barely hear her but she was explaining her theory to the boys and then I heard a smack. I laughed because Rosalie actually smacked Edward. The boys re-entered the room with confused looks.

"Why didn't I think of it?" was all Carlisle could say.

About half an hour later, Rosalie came back and she had a bag with her, which she threw at me. I went into the bathroom and took one of the tests. It took five minutes for the results which I spent pacing the bedroom. Edward had gone with Carlisle into town to get some things from the hospital. I'm guessing Rose didn't tell anyone yet because Alice or anyone wasn't bugging me. After the five minutes I walked over to the bedside table and picked up the test.

I ran down the stairs, without tripping to my amazement and found the girls sitting in the living room.

"OH MY GOD! IM PREGNANT!" they all ran over and hugged and congratulated me. When Jasper and Emmett came in they look confused until I gave them the test.

"What the hell is this thing!" Emmett asked.

I giggled along with everyone else "It's a pregnancy test Emmett. The plus sign means its positive." I said. "Meaning what exactly?" he asked curiously.

"It means Emmett, that I'm pregnant. I'm going to have a baby." When I said that Emmett's jaw dropped.

"Your WHAT?" Emmett said confused.

"Ugh. I'm going to be a mommy Emmett," I said getting irritated. After a few minutes, something clicked in his head and he carefully hugged me and congratulated me. When Edward and Carlisle got home I showed them the test and they hugged me as well. Edward and me walked upstairs to our room and went and sat on the black leather sofa.

"Aren't you excited Edward?" I said practically jumping up and down.

"Of course, I am Love. I'm just a little worried." He said becoming sad.

I scooted closer to him "What are you worried about Edward?" I asked.

"I'm worried that I won't be a good father and your going to have to wait for your transformation," he said pulling me onto his lap.

"Edward you're going to be an excellent father…and I can wait a little bit on my transformation" I said resting my head on his shoulder. After a few moments I got up and ran back to the bathroom…again.
