Christmas Accident…
Bella's POV
Edward, Emmett, and Jasper were inside the living playing a video game on the Xbox 360. Rose and Alice were upstairs looking for outfits to wear for tonight's dinner that would be served at Edward's and my house, which happened to be built in the middle of a meadow, in the forest.
I was outside of Alice and Jasper's house, in the backyard. I had wanted to go and get some alone time so I could prepare to tell Edward that I was pregnant. We had been married for only four months and I'm two almost three months pregnant with our baby.
Edward and I wanted to have children but I didn't think I'd get so pregnant this soon. I was shocked and surprised. All I wanted was for Edward to tell me that everything would be all right.
As I was thinking and I walking, I hadn't realized that I had walked onto the thin frozen ice that covered the pool. The ice gave away under my feet as I walking. I fell into the cold wet darkness; I couldn't help but breathe in some of the water. I wasn't scared for me; I was scared for Edward and our baby. I had to get out before I drowned and I was starting to get numb, too.
I remembered that I had screamed before I fell, maybe the others had heard me scream. I could only hope as I tried but failed to get out to save myself and my unborn child. I hoped and prayed that someone would find me before too long.

Edward's POV
My brother's and I were in the living sitting on the couch. Emmett and Jasper were playing some video game while I just watched. Alice, Rose, and Bella were upstairs looking for outfits for dinner tonight at mine and Bella's.
Thinking of Bella always brought a smile to my face. I had been in love with her since we were fifteen that was when I had met her. We had started dating when we were both seventeen. We continued our relationship into college, Bella wanting to be a journalist and I wanted to be a musician and a doctor, which I am.
In the middle of my reverie I heard a crash, splash, and a scream. I looked over at my brother's to see if they had heard the scream, splash, and crash. I looked over and saw that both of them were looking at me with wide eyes, wondering which one of the girls it was.
I heard two sets of footsteps running down the stairs. I looked over and saw Alice and Rose at the foot of the stairs wide eyed and looking at us. I quickly realized that Bella wasn't with them.
"Did you hear a-" Alice started to say.
"Splash," Emmett continued.
"Crash," Jasper said next.
"And a-" Rose started.
"Scream," I quickly finished for her. "Where's Bella?" I asked still noting that she wasn't with my sisters.
"We thought she was with you," Rose and Alice said at the exact same time.
"No. We thought she was with you," Jasper and Emmett spoke to the girls.
"If Bella isn't with any of us," I started to say. My eyes widened when I realized that she was the one who screamed.
I quickly ran out the back door. I saw a hole in the pool which told me that someone had fell into the water. I pulled off my jacket, leaving me in a long sleeve thermal shirt, and dove into the hole.
I felt myself start to freeze as I swam in the water. I opened my eyes and saw that it was dark. I quickly looked for Bella, hoping that nothing had happened to her. I swam until I felt fabric. I dove down and grabbed the fabric, which happened to be my wife of four months.
I pulled Bella up and out of the water. I got up out of the ice and quickly handed Bella to Emmett. Jasper helped pull me out of the freezing water. I looked over at Bella to see that she was conscious. She was shivering and shaking in my brother's arms. Alice and Rose came out and each wrapped a blanket around Bella.
She was so soaked. I grabbed a blanket and wrapped it in myself. I quickly wondered how long Bella had been in the water. I walked over to my wife and pulled her away from Emmett. I took her inside, holding her bridal style. I sat down on the living room couch with Bella in my lap. I hugged her and kissed her and sobbed into the crook of her neck.
"Isabella Marie Cullen, do not ever do that to me again! What were you doing that caused you to almost drown?" I whisper yelled the first part but whispered the question.
"I'm sorry, Edward. I promise I'll try not to be so clumsy. I was thinking and I wasn't watching where I was going, until the ice cracked under my feet. I didn't even mean to fall," Bella said while shivering violently.
"Shh, it's okay sweetheart. I know, don't worry about it. Right now, the most important thing is for you to keep warm," I said placing a finger to her lips which were frozen under my finger.
I watched my beautiful Bella as she tried to stop shaking. It was useless; she wasn't going to get any warmer in those cold, wet clothes. I pulled her off of my lap and took upstairs to the guest bedroom that Alice and Jasper had.
"Rose, Alice, will come and help Bella shower and stay warm. I'm going to head back to our house and grab some clothes for us. I shouldn't be so long," I said. I kissed Bella on the forehead before I turned and walked out.
I headed over to my beloved Volvo that was outside and drove the two miles it was from Alice and Jasper's house over to mine and Bella's. I quickly parked the car out front and ran towards the door. I ran inside, upstairs to Bella's and my bedroom. I stepped into the closet and grabbed a change of clothes for my wife and me.
I decided that while I was here, I would take a quick shower. I showered and got out but as I passed the trash can, something caught my eye. The trash can was nearly empty except for a box and something else. It was the box that caught my attention.
I went over to the trash can and pulled out the box. It was a pregnancy test. A pregnancy test!? Bella couldn't be pregnant; we've only been married for four months. It wasn't possible, was it?
I looked at the box to see if the test was still inside of it. It was empty. I quickly wondered if Bella really was pregnant. I would ask her a little later in private.
I grabbed my clothes and got dressed and quickly grabbed some clothes for Bella to change into. I sprinted to the car and back to Alice and Jasper's house. I wanted to just have a moment with my wife to ask her if she had given me the best Christmas present possible.
I walked into the door with the bag that had Bella's clothes in hand. I nodded to my brothers and ran up the stairs to see my wife. I walked into the guest room that Alice had designed for Bella and I. I saw that Alice and Rose were sitting on the bed. I could hear the water running from the shower.
"I brought Bella some clothes. Knowing that she wouldn't like what you picked, Alice," I told my sister.
Alice just rolled her eyes at me for acknowledging the fact that Bella hated being dressed up. I knew never to push Bella into anything that she didn't want to do. I knew my wife very well. I walked out of the room and headed down stairs with my brothers.
~*~*~ Twenty Minutes Later ~*~*~
Bella and I were walking out of Alice and Jasper's house. We were heading back to our house for the dinner that we would be hosting for tonight. Bella and I were silent for walk to the car. I opened the door for her and closed the door. I got in and started the car.
"Bella," I spoke softly not really sure how I wanted to approach this subject.
"Yes, Edward."
"When I was at the house, a little while ago, I found something," I started to say. I looked over at Bella to see if she could guess what I was talking about. I saw fear and panic in her eyes.
"Go on."
"Bella, I found a pregnancy test box. Are you pregnant?" I asked not really sure if I could handle what I was about to hear.
Bella was silent for a while but didn't say anything for a few minutes.
"Bella?" I asked. I was worried that I had put her into a state of shock.
"Yes, I'm pregnant, Edward."
We were in the driveway of our home now. I looked over at my wife. She looked a little scared but I knew that I wanted to keep this baby very much.
"Oh, Bella, that's the most wonderful Christmas present anyone has ever given me."
I pulled her face to mine so I could my wife and the mother of my children a kiss on the lips. I wanted to know what it was but I wasn't sure how far along she was. I would have a schedule an appointment for Bella so I could find out.
"You don't know how happy I am to know that I'm going to be a father," I whispered against Bella's lips after we parted.
"Oh, I think I do. If I'm very happy about being pregnant, I think I would know your emotions just a little better," my sweet Bella said.
"I love you, Bella."
"I love you, too, Edward."
Bella and I got out of the car and ran into our perfect house. I pulled Bella into the living room and made her sit on the couch in the living room. I looked Bella's stomach just to see if I could see her baby bump.
I slowly lifted her shirt up and looked at the small bump, which was barely noticeable, between her hips.
"Hi, baby. It's daddy. I just wanted to let you know that your mommy and I love you very much. We really want can't wait to meet you," I whispered to the baby.
I looked up at Bella to see that she was crying. I pulled her into my arms and just let her cry. I kissed her forehead and whispered sweet nothings into her hair.
"I love you, Bella. Merry Christmas, sweetheart," I whispered to my beautiful wife.
"Merry Christmas. I love you, too, Edward." She softly whispered before we got up and started to cook dinner.
