Bella and Edward go through the pregnancy together, along with the Cullen family. AU!
Warnings: Some sexual content. Course language.
When dad had gotten home from the station, he had woken me up to take my blood pressure like the school nurse had said I had to do. Dad deemed it as stress after talking to mom over the phone, and to the fact that it was normal again. Mom told me to drink more water, and to stay out of stressful situations – in other words: avoid the little high school bitches names Stanley and Mallory.
I had told dad that the perfume in biology had made me sick, but what Jessica had said about Mrs. Cullen made me scared. Dad had stated that the baby would be just fine and be very healthy and happy. It made me more confident that my little baby girl would be fine. Even though I knew that she would be; hearing my dad say that made it all better. Dad pretty much babied me and some of the La Push moms like Sue Clearwater came down to see me and talk to me about relaxing exorcizes, and breathing exorcizes that would help me calm down and relax the baby more.
When I went to school the next day, after my day off on dad's orders, I went to my first class and ignored Jessica and Lauren's pointed looks. Angela came to my desk that was beside Emmett's and Alice's who smiled at me.
''Hey, Bella. How are you feeling?'' Angela asked worriedly and went down to knees to talk to me quietly. ''How's the baby?''
I smiled to Angela. ''I'm fine. The baby was just upset, and my blood pressure was high. Dad made me take the day off in his ''I'm the Chief of Police and you have to do what I tell you or I'm telling your mother'' voice.''
Angela giggled as did Alice. I rolled my eyes. ''So me and this baby took a day off to chill and think of names.'' I said happily.
''Did you pick any out?'' Emmett asked as he looked over.
I got out a spiral and handed it to him. When he looked inside his topaz eyes went wide as he flipped page after page.
''That is a long ass name.'' Emmett said sarcastically and gave the notebook to Angela who reached for it.
I scoffed. ''I haven't decided. I have so many in mind, but I can't decide just yet. I don't even know if it's a girl or boy yet.''
''You'll think of something, Bella.'' Alice comforted as the teacher came in the class.
I let Angela take the spiral with her to her desk so she could help me find a name for my little kicking baby. Angela thought of combining a few names together for a unique, but cute, name, and she wanted to look over what I had thought of. I had no problems with it. Angela was a really nice girl and she was the only one besides the Cullens who never asked me personal questions.
During the class I had stolen Alice's notes due to me thinking that Emmett would never take notes based on seeing him balancing a pencil on the lead tip on his desk.
''So, Bells. What if you have twins?'' Emmett teased with a smirk.
I glared. ''Don't jinx me, dude. Phil did that, and now I'm double cursed.'' I hissed out and went back to copying notes.
Emmett chuckled as did Alice. ''It's possible, you know.'' Emmett said convincingly.
I grumbled under my breath for him to just drop dead. I missed the smirk that passed on his face.
I sighed in relief when I sank down in relief at a lone table with Angela. I told her I spoke to my mom and she said I couldn't put myself in stressful situations, so Angela decided to sit away from the drama starters for the sake of my upset baby.
Speaking of my baby, she was just settling down as I took a bite of my salad. ''I don't wanna do this anymore, Ang.'' I told my new best friend.
Angela looked to me after she took a bite of her lunch. ''A little late for that don't you think, honey?'' She asked me.
I shook me head and rubbed my belly. ''She is angry at me for something. I don't even know what I did.''
''Maybe you're catching a cold from the weather. '' Angela guessed.
I hoped not. I couldn't afford to get sick. I didn't want to hurt the baby.
''I can't get sick, Ang. When I'm sick: I'm sick. Like; really bad fevers, throwing up, weight losing sick. I've already lost too much weight.'' I said softly. I didn't want the Cullens to hear me and they were at the table behind us. I didn't need them to tattle tales on their father and my doctor.
Angela turned those dark eyes to me sharply. ''How much weight, Bella?'' She accused.
I hesitated for a moment. ''Five pounds this month.'' I whispered before taking a bite of a cucumber.
''Bella!'' Angela scolded fiercely.
''I just lose it. It's not my fault. I can't keep anything down.'' I defended myself. ''And hush up! Don't let them hear you.'' I whispered. I really didn't want them to know for some reason. Not for the reason of them telling the doctor I hadn't met yet, but for some odd reasoning I couldn't place
Angela turned to look at the Cullens and back to me. She took my salad away from me despite my pout, and gave me chocolate ice cream.
''Eat it or I blab to the Cullens to tell their dad; your doctor.'' Angela warned.
I looked at the ice cream, and the baby seemed to agree to eating it: so I did. The baby knew all.
I never saw the Cullens look at me and talk to each other quietly after Edward had growled lowly.
After about a week or two of talking to the Cullens, and Angela attempting to make me gain weight, I was very relaxed and so was my little girl.
In biology, we had to pair up with our lab partner, and apparently Edward was mine.
''I'll get the equipment, Bella.'' Edward said smoothly before walking away.
''Okay.'' I said softly and fought off that not-like-me blush that wanted to creep up on me.
I swore that boy would kill me just from that voice alone. I couldn't help but think he was doing it on purpose. I flirted a lot with boys in Phoenix, but I wasn't pregnant with another man's baby.
I didn't dwell on the subject too much as Edward came back to the table a microscope, slides, and two packets.
Edward sat down gracefully and situated all the equipment for us. ''Let's get started.'' He grinned.
I looked to my belly that held my little baby, and back to the Cullen. ''I have a head start. Get going.'' I told him with la laugh.
Edward chuckled and put a slide in the microscope.
We went back and forth in naming the cells as we chatted.
''Why did you move to Forks?'' Edward asked me.
I shrugged. ''My mom got remarried and wanted to travel with him. She was stuck with me and baby at home because I've had a few problems and she didn't want me alone. So I moved in with my dad to let her travel like she wanted.'' I summarized.
Edward looked to me with those eyes looking a lot lighter than yesterday. They were a dark topaz now. I just assumed he wore contacts or something..
''That sounds a little selfish of her. To make you move here when you're having complications.''
I shook my head. ''I was the one who thought of it. Mom's given up a lot to help me out with the baby already, and I just wanted her to be happy. She didn't want me to leave, but I just needed a quiet place to relax, have the baby, and get things together for us both.''
''What about the father? He's helping you with his child right?'' Edward scrunched his eyebrows together in question.
I shook my head as I wrote down what the cell was. ''He doesn't want anything to do with me or the baby. I don't classify him as the dad anymore. He's just a donor.'' I said and passed the microscope to my partner.
''I'm sorry if I brought up something tender for you. I didn't mean to upset you.'' Edward apologized after a moment of silence between us.
I waved him off. ''it's fine, really! It's so common in teenage pregnancy, that I expected it really. Mom went on a rage and let him have it, and made him sign over all custodial rights to the baby, and threatened rape if he talked to me again.'' I laughed at the memory.
Edward smirked crookedly again. That was going to kill me if this pregnancy didn't. ''How old was he?''
I shrugged, suddenly not wanting to say it. This was so not like me. ''Twenty-one.'' I said quietly so the eavesdropping table behind us couldn't hear.
''He's quite older than you.''
''I was going through a rebellious phase, and he was my object of rebelling. I learned my lesson after the first week, but I was adamant on going through with my phase.'' I said offhandedly.
Edward gazed at me after he wrote down an answer. ''After the first week?'' He questioned.
''All he wanted was sex. It was a hate relationship. Nothing more.'' I promised.
It looked like Edward lost tension in his body when I had mentioned nothing had happened with my over-aged ex-boyfriend. It was the truth. Nothing had happened with my ex.
''Good. What did you do for fun in Phoenix?'' Edward went back to a more fun topic that passed time pretty quickly.
After class, Edward offered to walk me to gym and it didn't seem like he would take no; even if I had said no. It turned out he had the same class as me, but unlike me: he had to participate. I got an A automatically for just showing up and I was told to relax on the bench or my dad would be called. They were such tattle tales in this town. Like, elementary schoolers.
Gym had been very exciting to see. I had to admit, the Cullens were hot to see when they played volleyball. Emmett had fun throwing the ball tat Jasper's head purposely, to where Jasper would retaliate in kind before Alice stopped them both with a glare. I laughed with Angela who sat out for the game from an old injury.
Edward was the best to see in gym. I had to admit he was hotter than ever somehow. That sexual drive in me went into overdrive every time he jumped and showed that skin. I stared unashamedly, and saluted the Cullen when he looked over with that smirk of catching me. He must have known that I was staring, but I could care less.
Angela looked back and forth between me and my object of affection.
''Someone's in love.'' Angela sang quietly.
''I'm horny. Huge difference, dear.'' I rejected what she said. I was just very attracted to the Cullen who seemed to stick out to me and this baby who was going crazy in there.
Angela grinned as she saw me stare at the Cullen again when I tilted my head to the side. She didn't backfire on my obvious lie, as she just sat there looking through my baby name spiral.
After school I waved goodbye to Angela as I walked away to my van. I put my headphones in and listened to Disney music as the baby just loved to hear Tarzan music. I really had to get bigger headphones to put on my belly for her to listen to it herself.
I was listening to 'You'll be in my heart' as I went to unlock my van. One headphone fell out and I suddenly heard my name being screamed and the screeching of a car. I whirled around to see a van sliding my way and I immediately covered my belly to protect my baby and bent over: I knew this was the end of both of us when I heard the crunch of metal and my name being screamed again.
I opened my eyes slowly to realize I wasn't dead. I was on the ground on my side with someone next to me. I looked up to see none other than Edward Cullen crouched over me with shoulder against the van solidly.
Edward looked down to me with those black eyes again. ''Don't move Bella.'' He whispered in that hypnotic voice.
I was about to question but I suddenly just pushed me away. No one could know about this, I knew that for sure.
''Get out here, Edward. Now. Go.'' I pleaded before I felt some pain in my belly and moaned.
Edward saw the pain I was in, and looked hesitant even as the voices of the school coming closer. He looked like he wanted to stay with me from that look on his face when he looked to my belly with my now angry baby.
''Leave!'' I pleaded again and held in a scream at the sharp pain running through me. ''Please.''
''I'll be back.'' Edward promised and disappeared.
A minute or two passed with the students of the school trying to move the van away from me as I tried to not think of me going into labor right now. I could hear them say to get Tyler out of the van and to get me out because I was in labor right now. I didn't want them to say that at all. She wasn't ready yet. I didn't want her born yet. She was only three months, almost four. Eventually the van was move, and Angela was beside me.
''Bella, do not push, honey. Do not push.'' Angela told me calmly and laid me on my back, resting my head in her lap.
''Has anyone called 9-1-1?'' A girl asked.
''There sending an ambulance now.'' A guy answered right away.
''How's Tyler?'' Someone asked.
''He's disoriented, but fine.'' Another person answered.
I let out another scream at more pressure and pain, and every seemed to just lose it. I saw Alice appear next to me and feel my belly for some reason.
''Bella, you're contracting. Do not push. Just breathe. The ambulance is almost here.'' Alice said soothingly.
I followed her instructions with Angela still with me. I felt my baby move more and more, and I attempted to not tense my body as it just seemed to make me push her out when she wasn't ready in any sense. She wasn't even that big yet. She wouldn't survive in the NICU or out of the womb.
''She's not ready yet.'' I cried out as another contraction hit.
''Just breathe, Bella. You'll both be fine, honey. Just breathe and don't tense.'' Angela told me firmly as we both heard the ambulance come in the lot.
A few paramedics came over to me as a few went over to apparently Tyler who was the one who almost hit me. I tried to look around for Edward to see if he was here. He said he would be back, but I didn't see him.
''He'll be at the hospital, Bella.'' Alice whispered as they strapped me to the gurney.
I could only nod because another contraction hit.
''Bella, do not push, okay? I want you to relax as much as you can, and breathe. Take a deep breath and release it.'' The paramedic told me as I was put in the ambulance.
I nodded and tried to breathe for my baby's sake of surviving this accident. I knew I was crying but I really didn't care at this point.
''We called the Chief, Bella. He's calling your mother okay?'' The same paramedic told me.
I knew mom would most likely be coming to Forks to see me with Phil sometime soon. I wanted to see her. I needed my damn mommy right now.
In the hospital, I was immediately taken to the Maternity Ward much to my displeasure. I had fought them saying that I wasn't having my baby girl right now, but they had said it was to watch the both of us more closely. I was hooked up to more machines than I could count: a few for me, and one giant one to monitor my still moving baby.
I was still contracting but not as badly as before when a young blonde doctor with topaz eyes and pale skin, muscled body and a calm demeanor. I assumed he was Carlisle Cullen.
''Alright, Bella. My name is Carlisle Cullen and I'm you doctor.'' Carlisle introduced as he put on gloves.
I looked over to him and around the nurses that were with me, trying to relax me and help me stop the birthing process that was way too early.
''HI.'' I said stupidly and breathed through another contraction on an older nurse's soft order.
Carlisle smiled and lifted the blanket to my waist. I couldn't even try to be embarrassed that Edward Cullen's dad was seeing my hoo-haa. I didn't give a fuck right now.
''Hello. Bella, I'm going to feel how dilated you are. After I see how dilated you are: I'm going to give you a few baby-safe medications for you to relax and sleep, and to stop the labor. I want you to take a deep breath for me.'' Carlisle instructed as he stuck a few cold fingers right up there.
It hurt badly. It wasn't the nice sexual type of situation. It was the baby wants out now situation and wasn't nice. I released my breathe at his order.
Carlisle took off his gloves to put on new ones quickly. ''Okay. You're about two centimeters dilated. I'm giving you a medication to stop the labor and to make you stop dilating. It will be uncomfortable, dear, but the baby won't come anytime soon.
I nodded and squeezed the nurse's hand to fight through the pain. ''She'll be okay thought, right? I mean: She'll still be in there?'' I asked worriedly on my baby's behalf.
Carlisle nodded with a gentle smile and put a needle he had gotten from another nurse into my IV. I quickly felt a warm sensation in my belly, and somehow it stopped the pain. My baby seemed to stopped moving down and just seemed to float around in there contently.
''Yes. The baby will survive everything. I promise you that. She'll just be content as a kitten as she grows and grows.'' Carlisle stated and watched me relax into the now really comfortable bed.
The youngest of the two nurses that were near me moved away for my Cullen doctor to do doctor things. I didn't really pay attention to anything as I just relished in my relaxed state with my calmed little girl. It seemed Carlisle took advantage of my condition and gave me something else that made me very sleepy and boneless.
''Now; just relax and sleep. The Chief should be on his way to see you and your little girl.'' Carlisle's voice just lulled me to sleep even more.
I had no qualms about agreeing to the soft order of the young beautiful doctor, and followed suit into blackness.
enjoy it!
