Poor Little Game Console(s)

Edward and I laid on the bed and he was busy trying to listen to the faint sounds of the baby while I toyed with his hair. We laid like this quite often lately, whenever Alice wasn't dragging me off to talk about the baby shower that I had no say in or to try to talk me into shopping as soon as I was able to leave the house. According to Carlisle, that could be any day now but the choice was up to Edward and me. For a while now, Edward and I hunted with only one another and he still had to take over when I got, um, finished with my meal.

He gave in whenever I was craving something and then ran into the nearest town to get it for me. I ate whatever the baby craved but didn't have to cough it back up later. However, it did, um, turn up eventually. I was only a month or so along and we had plenty of time to discuss the baby. We told Alice specifically not to look and see what it was because we wanted it to be a surprise. We had all the time in the world.

The music that was playing in the background was soothing, to all three of us. Alice had gone shopping while Edward and I had been out hunting today. She had actually gotten something that both Edward and I liked, music for the baby. It was classical, I think Mozart, and I was glad that Edward had gotten me into listening to classical before we were married.

"Edward?" I started.

"Yes, love?" he whispered.

"I hate to bother you but the baby is craving some chocolate. Would you mind…" I didn't even have to finish because he was grabbing his jacket and car keys halfway through what I was saying.

"I'll be back so quickly that you won't even notice that I'm gone." He came over and pecked me on the cheek and then was out the door. I sat up and leaned against the headboard, waiting for Alice to take her chance before Edward returned. I didn't have to wait very long because only a few seconds after I heard the roar of the engine from his Volvo, she came bursting through the door.

"Bella, how do you feel about coming downstairs and watching a movie with Rose and me? I promise that you'll love it." She joined me on the bed and held my hand in both of hers, pouting until I caved. I had to give in when she pulled out the old puppy dog eyes. I rolled my eyes and leaned forward.

"Come on, Alice." I sighed and she squealed. I was towed towards the door and was then met by Rosalie in the hall. She took my other hand and led me downstairs. The T.V. was a bit bigger than the one that we had left behind in Forks. It was a hi-def, 60 inch flat screen plasma and Emmett and Jasper were almost permanently glued in front of it. I was surprised to see that, for once, the big couch was empty. They must have been out hunting or digging in the basement for Jasper's games that Esme had hidden from them. Alice went to the DVD player and inserted the disc I hadn't even noticed in her hand.

I took my place beside Rosalie and let her wrap her arms around me. We had gotten a lot closer than I could have anticipated since the wedding and I think that part of that reason was living inside me. Neither she nor Alice would ever carry a child. Alice grabbed the remote and mimicked Rosalie's position. She still hadn't told me what movie we were watching. I was a little surprised to see that the main characters of the movie were… Edward and me. The movie was our wedding. I was utterly stupefied. I sat in silence through the ceremony, noticing all of the things that had eluded me during the actually event, until Edward returned with the chocolate that the baby was still craving. I had really underestimated Alice. She had implanted a camera in the rose on Edward's jacket and in one of the pearls on the border of my gown.

When Edward walked through the door and into the living room, I had expected to see him with a small bag of candy. What I hadn't expected was that Emmett and Jasper had gone with him and were right behind him - carrying a massive supply of chocolate. I don't think that I had ever seen such a huge amount in one place, ever. That must have been what had taken him so long, he was stocking up. At least he couldn't stock up on the fish and eggs that the baby craved - that would have smelled really bad.

"Edward, what is all this? I said that the baby wanted chocolate, not that there was a world war and we needed to stock up while we still could." I heard my brothers chuckling and then the pleasing sound of them being smacked by their wives. I smiled to myself with pleasure. He smiled and leaned to give me another kiss on the cheek. He turned back to his brothers and laughed when he saw them rubbing the backs of their heads.

"Guys, help me get this stuff to the basement. Then you can do whatever you want." They did as told and followed Edward downstairs. I went back to the couch and took my place between my sisters. It only took the guys a few minutes to get everything settled in the basement and then we were rejoined by our husbands. Esme and Carlisle had gone away for the weekend and we had the house to ourselves for the time being. This way, we could do almost anything without them disturbing us. But Edward and I never did anything to get in trouble for in the first place. All we did was lay in bed all day.

Edward had a small bag of chocolate in his hand and I jumped off of the couch. He laughed and caught me in his arms, careful not to damage my stomach. He was even more overprotective nowadays than before when I was human. He took my hand and we went upstairs. I could hear the music from earlier before I opened the door. When I pushed the door open, it became even louder. I went to the bed and stretched across it. Edward stalled at the door and then joined me on the bed. I pulled him against me and we wrapped our arms around one another. I pulled away from him for a moment and smiled, he knew what I wanted.

He handed me the bag of chocolate that he had with him. I reached in and grabbed the first thing I felt touch my fingertips. Yes! I hadn't realized how bad the craving was. I must have smiled or something because I heard Edward chuckle. "What?" I was too busy unwrapping the Snickers to really be paying attention.

"Nothing really," he started while taking my other hand into his own and beginning to trace small circles into my skin. "I was just wondering why you were so excited about a simple chocolate bar. And also, I didn't know why you sounded so excited." I had no idea what he was talking about.

"Edward, I love you and everything but sometimes… you kinda confuse me a bit. I am pregnant after all. And I'm a teenage girl. Don't you know what that means?" He had a weird look on his face and I was eyeing the Snickers in my hand, longing for that first bite. I had to remove the confused look that I had put on his gorgeous face. I loved how innocent he looked when that happened but I hated for him to feel that way. "Edward, the baby wants chocolate and it's kinda encrypted into my DNA as a girl to crave it anyway. The pregnancy just doubled the intensity. And what did you mean about sounding excited?"

I took the chance to steal a bite of the candy bar that had started this whole discussion. I felt it melt in my mouth and savored every bit of it. It felt so good in on my tongue, coating it in milky goodness. I was brought out of my little fantasy of diving into a chocolate fountain by my husband's gorgeous voice, almost as rich as the chocolate itself.

"Didn't you whisper to yourself in a more excited voice 'Yes!'? It had to be you because we're the only two in the room." I honestly had no clue what he was talking about. I really did love my husband but he could be so weird sometimes. He did look completely serious though and I was a bit intrigued.

"Edward, can we drop this? I would really like to enjoy my chocolate." I took another bite of my Snickers to show him how serious I was. He chuckled and kissed the hand he was holding. I smiled and tried to concentrate on the mouthwatering chocolate that had currently taken up residence in my mouth. I couldn't believe that I still appreciated the flavor of the few foods that the baby craved. I leaned back against the headboard and he followed soon after. I finished that bite and took another, not looking forward to, um, getting rid of it.

Edward ran a finger up and down my free hand, tickling my still slightly sensitive skin. I giggled and he continued the motion, smiling all the while and laughing along. I eventually had to push away his hand and resumed eating the Snickers as he left my side and went to the dresser. I had no idea what he was up to until he can back with a small stack of clothing. In his hands there were two small piles, the pajamas Carlisle had given us as a wedding gift. I sat up and shoved the last bite of the candy bar into my mouth. He smiled and pulled me onto the floor, making me get off of the bed.

I laughed as he took my hand and pulled me to our adjoining bathroom. He reached inside the doorframe and switched on the light. I followed and stood behind him as he went to the shower. I still couldn't believe that our bathroom was large enough to have a separate shower and bathtub. It was huge and had his/her sinks, giving it the feel of a hotel suite. He started the water and went to the closet that was in one corner and pulled out a big fluffy red towel. I watched as he worked, getting the shower ready for us. It was kinda sexy to watch him take such good care of me… and our baby.

The room started to get a little steamy from the shower and Edward started to unbutton his shirt. I still couldn't really comprehend the sight. Edward and I hadn't really done anything sexual since our honeymoon and I had only seen him completely naked during that time. He left his shirt unbuttoned and open, exposing his chest, as he walked over to me. He slid the hoodie of his (that I had sorta stolen from the box that had his clothes from Forks) up and over my head.

I loved when he undressed me because it happened so rarely. When he had the hoodie off, he met my lips with his own and I couldn't help but smile against them. I put my arms around his neck and pressed myself to him, feeling his cold stomach against my semi-warm one. I only had a bra on underneath and Alice had actually let me dress this way for the last week or so because she didn't know how she would be received by my hormones if she tried to tell me otherwise. I had learned this from Edward- having a husband that could read minds came in handy quite often. After what had happened to Emmett's X-box 360, I didn't really blame her. He had been wise enough to hide his wii afterwards though.

I was the first to pull away and Edward laughed. I used to be the one that didn't want to stop and he would have had to pull away first, not me. We held each other at an arms length apart and I had to break the silence.

"Edward, I think that the water might get cold. We may need to actually use it sometime soon." He laughed and grabbed my hand, pulling me towards the shower.

"I agree. But first, I think that we should get rid of these pesky clothes. Don't you agree, my lovely Bella?" He pulled me to him and breathed into my face, making me catch my breath in my throat again. I was glad that I could no longer blush as badly as I once used to. My blood was mostly concentrated on my stomach and from what Carlisle had told us, it ran in a cycle there, keeping the baby warm. My cheeks only became a slight pink now and Emmett still managed make it happen.

I could only manage a whisper for my response. "Yes, I absolutely agree."

He placed his head beside mine and whispered into my ear, "Then help me get rid of mine."

I instantly froze. I probably would have stopped breathing but I couldn't really do that with a baby that needed oxygen living inside me. "Ok, um…" was all I could manage. He chuckled and took hold of my hands as he leaned away from me. I moved my hands to his waist and he leaned his torso backwards, so as to give me better access. I unbuckled his jeans and slid them down towards the floor. He stood in his boxers and shirt while I was still in sweatpants and a bra.

His eye met mine before asking, "May I, my lovely wife?"

"Why, yes, you may, my handsome husband." I had to whisper my answer once again. He moved his hands to my waist and slid my pants down to the floor, mimicking the motion I had performed on him only seconds before. We stepped out of our pants at the same time and closer to the shower. The mirror was fogging up from all of the steam and it was getting a bit harder to see in the room. We both kinda got lost in the moment and the next thing I knew, we were in the shower and under the hot water.

The shower didn't last as long as I would have liked but it was enjoyable all the same. Edward and I washed one another without any sexual well-beings to disturb the moment. He even used my strawberry shampoo in his own hair. He turned off the water and reached out of the shower to grab the towel he had gotten earlier. He turned back to me and wrapped the towel around the both of us. We stepped out onto the floor and he leaned over to pick up our clothes from the counter. After drying one another off, we walked into the bedroom and got dressed in the pajamas our father had gotten us.

We took up residence on the bed again and laid there for a while, just enjoying one another's company. We often did this and ended up blocking out everyone else. The C.D. started up again and I realized that it had been playing the whole time Edward and I had been in the shower. Our stereo system was getting quite the work-out recently. Maybe we would have to buy a new one soon. I think that would be okay for Edward to buy for me, well… for us really.

I looked at the clock I had allowed Alice to purchase for us because we needed a digital one and she had wanted to do the honours. It was almost midnight and I was extremely bored. Since I didn't trust myself to be around humans yet, Edward and I were often stuck at home, and I was sure he hated it. He was used to going out when he pleased, not having someone to hold him down. I just held him back.

"Bella, love?" I looked at my husband to see what he needed from me.

"Yes, oh husband of mine?" We both chuckled at my little remark.

"I was just wondering about something."

"What about, Edward?" He had peaked my curiosity.

"Well, when were you planning on telling your parents? About the baby, I mean."

I hadn't really thought about it all. I guess now was as good a time as any to discuss it. "Well, I hadn't even been thinking about it at all. Why do you ask?"

He sat up beside me and we turned to face one another. "Well, I think that they should know about it. I know that eventually we would have to find a way to make the baby disappear but they should still know. Doesn't everyone want to know if they're child is expecting or not?" I had a feeling that Charlie would think differently about what had happened to result in the pregnancy. I was pretty sure that a father like him would not want to know that his little girl had been, um, de-flowered and was now pregnant…

"Edward, I think that they should know, too. I can't believe that I didn't even think of it before now. When should we tell them? I want to do it in person." I really did want to do it in person and I hoped that we could find a way to make that happen. If Edward agreed, then maybe we could find a way to make it work…

"I agree with you but we would have to find some way to do it in Florida. Is there anyway we could get Charlie there?" I had to think for a minute and then I had the perfect idea. I was kinda shocked that Edward had agreed so easily.

"Um, Edward, can you hand me my laptop, please? I have an idea and I want to see if it's possible." I had allowed him to buy me the laptop of my choice to get an early start on some online college courses. Maybe if I took some now, I wouldn't be completely baffled when we went to school after the baby was born. We were both taking a year off and doing a few online courses together. Edward had firmly suggested that I should take some courses in college math so that I would be prepared. He obviously had to help me with that bit of work.

Anyway, he did as suggested and went to my messenger bag I had allowed Alice to buy me after Edward almost chewing her head off (for offering to take me shopping when he wanted me well rested and off of my feet as much as possible) and got my laptop out. I had picked blue, to match Edward's. The only way to tell any difference was to look at the desktop and the amount of icons each had on them. Mine only had a few while Edward had his screen almost halfway full.

I opened it and went to the ever popular GOOGLE and typed in 'Fishing Tournaments-Florida'. This had to get Charlie down to Florida some time soon. There were a few results and I was glad to see that there was going to be one in Florida. The only problem was that it was in two months. That was two more months of hiding it from my mom when she called. Two more months of resisting the sentence 'the baby's fine' whenever someone from home called to check up on things.

I highlighted the information and copied it. I could tell that Edward was wondering what I was doing but didn't tell him. I went to 'send message' on my desktop- Edward had created a shortcut to save me the hassle- and clicked on Charlie's email information. I heard an 'ahh' from Edward and knew that it had finally clicked in that gorgeous head of his. I resisted a chuckle and pasted the information onto the screen, making sure to use my anonymous email account that I would be able to keep after I 'died' and typed TO ALL EXPERT FISHERMAN in the subject box. I heard Edward laugh a little beside me and I hit send.

I could only imagine the look on Charlie's face in the morning when he looked in his inbox. I handed the laptop to Edward and sighed, glad to have that over with. Now, I just had to wait until October and then I could tell my lovely mother and father that they were going to be grandparents. I had a slight inkling that Renee wouldn't take that bit of news too well. Did any woman her age really want to be called 'Grandma'?

Edward got up off of the bed and put it back into my bag and then returned to my open arms. I loved hugging this man so much and he knew it. He kissed me when he returned to the bed and we laid that way for a while. When the sun would have been rising, we decided that we should probably go downstairs and grace our family with our presences.

We held each other's hands as we went to the couch and sat down beside Alice. As we had walked past the basement door, I had noticed that there was a lock that hadn't been there yesterday. This intrigued me slightly. I decided to ask Edward about it when we sat down and I did.

"Edward, can I ask you a question?" I leaned back against his chest and felt his fingers playing with my hair.

"Yes, anything, love."

"Why is there a lock on the basement door? I know that it wasn't there yesterday." His fingers stalled momentarily

"I didn't want to risk a repeat or worse of the incident yesterday morning. You know what I'm talking about, don't you?" I shrunk down into his chest.

I had to respond with a simple whispered answer. "Yes." I knew he could hear me even with the lack of volume. Sadly enough, I knew exactly what he was talking about. The incident in question had resulted in the death of Emmett's poor X-box 360 and a very upset Emmett.

"It's ok, Bella. He deserved it. I think that he'll know better next time not to mess with your chocolate." He leaned down close to whisper the next part so that Alice sitting next to me couldn't hear and Jasper who had just entered the room couldn't either. "I have to admit, though. I found it very sexy when you got all hot and bothered and then destroyed his little game console." I took in my breath and heard him chuckle before having to tell me to breathe again. He always managed to take my breath away and it wasn't good for the baby.

A few minutes later, Rosalie and Emmett came down and joined us. Emmett was very wary as to where he sat and picked the seat farthest from me. He had been reduced to his Nintendo DS and his hands covered the whole screen, making it difficult to play. I couldn't help but want to laugh at the expression on his face. Somehow, he managed to look upset, excited, frustrated, and depressed at the same time. I could understand all of his emotions – depressed due to the loss of his X-BOX 360, upset because I had killed his X-BOX 360, excited because he was playing a video game, and frustrated because he probably couldn't see the screen.

"Emmett, again, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to completely demolish it." The poor thing had never seen it coming – neither had Emmett. If he hadn't've grabbed the last chocolate bar in the house and taken a bite of it just to see what I would do… I knew that he was sorry but for some reason, the stupid pregnancy hormones had taken over and that been it for the poor game console.

"Yeah, yeah. If you're so sorry, why did you do it in the first place?" He really didn't know what he was asking. You never question a pregnant woman's actions… ever! That was it! I couldn't control what happened next! I got up out of Edward's arms and ran to Emmett and Rose's room. I had no idea how I knew where the stupid thing was, but I was determined to find it. I looked in the box on Emmett's side of the closet and was met with the item I had been searching for. I heard footsteps on the stairs just as I grabbed Rosalie's hair-dryer and raised it above my head.

I could tell that Emmett was close and I had to act fast. The wii never saw it coming. After I heard the first crash, it all went by very quickly. There were parts flying all around, a few girlish screams from Emmett, a laugh or two coming from my sisters, and then a calm fell over the room. I was still running on a bit of adrenaline and somehow I could hear better. However, the voices sounded as if they were a bit different.

'Oh my gosh! I can't believe that she just did that!' I looked at Alice and saw the huge smile plastered on her face. I looked back at the mess in front of me and realized that I was breathing a bit heavily.

'Oh, Emmett's going to be whiny all day now.' I didn't know why Jasper would feel that way. Maybe because he would have to keep Emmett's emotions in line all day in addition to mine.

'Way to go, Bella! I never thought you had it in ya!' Rosalie seemed awfully chipper about the whole thing. 'Oh, my poor hair-dryer. At least I have a few spares in Alice's room.' There was the Rose I knew. At least I wouldn't have to replace it later on.

'Bella, Bella, Bella. What am I ever going to do with you?' I turned to look at my gorgeous husband and was met with a huge smile on his face.I still had no idea why everyone was speaking so freely and why they sounded a bit differently from normal. This was going to be a long pregnancy, for all of us.

I got up off the floor and ran into my husband's arms. I saw the ghastly look on Emmett's face and felt a little guilty. He hadn't really known what would happen and was just an innocent little thing. But he needed to watch his words around me from now on. I tried to comfort him but Edward held me tight in his arms, restraining me from my brother. Perhaps it was for the best…

We made our way back to our room and took up our usual positions on the bed. He held me in his arms and stoked my hair, pulling it out of my eyes. I snuggled up close to him and realized that along the way to our room, he had stopped talking. He had been talking as if to himself and as if I wasn't even in his presence. He had been saying things about me not knowing my own strength and things like that. He seemed worried about leaving me alone with my sisters whenever he and my brothers went to see that hypnotist in a couple of weeks. He didn't really know if he should leave me with them without Alice trying something. Even though he didn't have anything to worry about – Alice was scared of me and with what had just happened, I bet she didn't want to even suggest shopping while I was in the same room.

Speaking of hypnotist…

"Edward, um, about Emmett's gift… You should know that you can trust Alice and Rose. They love me and they want me to be safe. They would never do anything to put me and our baby in danger, you know that, don't you?" He had stopped playing with my hair and had become quiet.

"Yes, I know that I can trust them, and you, but you know how overprotective I can be at times. I'm man enough to admit to it and I just want you to know that it's not anyone's fault. Especially yours, Bella. I love you, and our baby." He moved his hand to my stomach when he said that last part and I placed my hand on top of his. I turned to face him and stole a kiss. He smiled my favourite smile and I tried to return it. I knew that sometimes I managed to smile a smile that he couldn't resist. The only thing I didn't know was which smile it was and how to fully use it to dazzle him in turn.

I guess it worked because he smiled a bit wider and he seemed to melt a little bit. I flashed the smile again and got the same response. I finally had the smile down! I was one step closer to being the ultimate dazzler! Just a few more things to master…

Additional Author's Note: Ok, I give up. I have fallen out of recent contact with my unofficial beta (and co-writer) and I am on the search.
