Chapter 1- America

Isabella and Edward have been married for over a year now.

"Isabella Dear?" Edward asks.

Isabella turns to him, and smiles. "Yes?"

"You alright?"

Isabella wasn't so sure what to say to this, she hasn't been understanding how England could be coming all this way for so long to keep another from their freedom just because they won't do what they want.

"I just don't understand how they can do this."

"Yes I know love," Edward said. He understood, who his wife meant. He can't understand it either. His father was killed just six months ago from the British in one of the battles against the British. He led his wife to their sitting room, and called for one of their servants. "Mary."

A young woman, Mary came over to them. "Yes?"

"Can you please go and get us some tea."

"Yes." She said, she ran off to get the tea her master has asked.

"Can't they just see that we won't give?" Isabella asked her husband.

Edward placed calming rubs on her back. "If they haven't realized that now, I'm sure they will soon enough."

Isabella looked to be able to say something else, when Mary stepped back in to the sitting room and placed the two teas down on the coffee table.

"Anything else?" Mary asked.

"No, thank you Mary." Isabella said.

Mary nodded and stepped back to the other room she came from.

Mary has been part of the Masen house hold since she was born, as her parents have worked for the Masen's for many years.

"It will be alright, love. We will get through this war against England, and become free." Edward said, gently before he took a sip of his own tea.

"I surely hope so." Isabella said, after a sip of her own tea.

Edward remembers the day that they got the news that his father was killed in combat. He was worried for how his mother was going to take that kind of news. Thankfully, his mother had Isabella to help her; he wasn't so sure how to help her. He tried to be strong for his mother.

He surely hopped that America would be able to get their freedom from England so his father's death wouldn't go in vain. He was angered with England for killing his father, he wanted to go and join the fight, but he knew his family needed him here. He wasn't going to make them worry more.

He remembered how his family came here many generations ago, to get free from England. But now, it seems to him that they have been forced to fight for those same rights.

He surely hopped that Emmett and Jasper would return back to their wives alive and well. They both went to fight just two months ago. He can understand his wife's worry, since her brother Emmett and brother-in-law Jasper are fighting in the war. She didn't want them to end up like his father, dead.

"Edward?" Isabella asked as she stepped into his study.

Edward lifted his head from his desk, when he heard his wife's call. "Yes love?"

"Sorry if I'm bothering you from your work." She said.

"You know you are always welcomed in here. What is it?"

"I just got word, that my parents are coming over here to visit for a month. Hope that is alright with you. Wanted to make sure before I wrote back to them."

"Of course your family is welcome to love."

Isabella nodded, smiled at her husband.

"When are they to come?" he asked.

"In a few days." She said.

"That should be enough time. Have you informed the servants yet?"

"No, I planned to after I sent the letter I will write back to them."

Edward nodded, he watched as his wife left to write her letter and inform their servants about their pending visitors.

Isabella didn't waste much time to write and send her letter. She then turned to her close friend, Mary. The Masen's are one of the few families that counted their servants as family and friends. "Mary, may you please inform the other servants that we will have my parents coming here in a few days to spend a month here with us. As well as to get their rooms ready."

"Yes, I may." Mary said, nodding her head. Mary went off to inform the other servants what Isabella wanted her to inform them of.

The following morning, Edward heard his wife, throwing up, he grew worried and came to her.

"Love?" he asked.

When she didn't answer him, he grew more worried, he walked in to the room she was at, and how he saw her his worry grew just as much if it was even able to. "Mary." He called.

It didn't take long for the young woman to come over.

"Call a doctor please and tell him to come here."

"Yes." She said as she went off.

Once Isabella was finished, Edward gently helped his wife up and led her to their bed.

"Are you alright love?"

"Yes, I'm fine, Edward. There is no need to call for a doctor."

"Please love; let a doctor look at you."

Isabella looked she was ready to protest, but she simple nodded, knowing it help her husband more if a doctor looked at her.

The doctor came as soon as he was able to.

One of the servants has let him in, and told him where the two were at. He made his way to the door and knocked.

"May enter." Edward said.

The doctor opened the door and stepped in.

"What seems to be the problem?"

"It seems Isabella is not well. May you please have a look at her?" Edward asked.

"Yes of course sir."

"I'll wait outside." Edward said as he stepped out and closed the door behind him.

"What seems to be wrong Mrs. Masen?"

"Well I have thrown up this morning…." Isabella said she listed the rest of her issues.

The doctor listened, "I know this may be embaraced and I'm sorry but I must know this." He said gently. "When was your last monthly?" he asked.

"10weeks ago." Isabella said without missing a beat.

The doctor smiled at this, "Well, Mrs. Masen I believe that it is that you are with child."

Isabella was shocked of this kind of news. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, congrats. I'm taking you will want to tell your husband the news."

"Yes I would."

"I will leave you two alone then. If any other issues please do call me. Here is some numbers for some midwives that may help you as well." He said.

"Thank you." She said.

He nodded and left.

Edward came in after the doctor was walked to the doctor's own horse.

"What the doctor have to say love?" he asked.

Isabella thought how she could tell her husband this kind of news. "Well, I'm with child." She said, she watched her husband's reaction and couldn't help but smile at her husband's own reaction, of shock and fear for his wife and happiness all within few mins of getting the news.

Hope everyone enjoyed their 4th of July! America's birthday.

I thought this was a good time to have first chapter of my new story in the works to be published. I will be working on this story; as well as add chapters to A fresh start story before I add chapters to this story.

Please review.
