Chapter 2
BPOV
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
I think I'm going to puke.
Well I have been puking, but that's beside the point.
I've been worrying the past two days about how we're going to deal this. I didn't think we had slipped up anytime, but apparently we did.
I mean, we both love them. So why am I freaking out?
Maybe because you just found out two days ago that you're carrying his child and neither of you have really thought about seriously having kids this soon…
Ugh, really? My inner voice is being a smart ass right now when I'm trying to figure out how to tell him we're going to have a baby? That's just gravy.
Yeah but you know it's true.
Shut up!
I sighed. I'll find a way to tell him sometime tonight.
Tonight we're going on our monthly date, out. We look forward to this every month. We always go back to La Bella Italiana. It's where it all started for us. We want to keep up the tradition for as long as we possibly can.
It's Thursday night, which is always our normal night for our date.
I really need to tell him tonight. I don't know how I haven't spilled the beans yet to him.
I left school to go home and get ready when I got a text from Edward.
Where your favorite black dress tonight. I love you in that dress;) ~E
Ah yes. The favorite little black dress.
It was a halter dress that went down almost to my knees. It has a white band under the bust with a white bow, with long ends where it flowed. The dress moved so well, and was absolutely comfortable. (not as comfortable as my jersey dress that I first went out with Edward in, but still. It's awesome as hell.I really miss that blue jersey dress though. NOTE TO SELF: go find another jersey dress. They are the shit.)
Anyways, when I got home, I went searching for my dress. I found it in the back of my closet. Then I dug through my shoes to find something that would work with it. I was thinking about my black three inch wedges that had the white trim.
Once I found those, I ran to the bathroom and quickly showered. I was going to leave my hair down in loose curls so I just let it air dry.
I was in front of the mirror in the bathroom when I heard the door to our apartment open and shut.
"Hey Bell, I'm home babe."
"Bathroom!" I yelled out to him.
"Hey beautiful." He came in wearing his scrubs and his rectangular, black, wire rimmed glasses, and kissed my cheek. "How were the kiddies today?"
I had to laugh. "Well they were their normal, rowdy selves. But I guess it's just how they are for the first month or two. When they first start school, they're shy for about a week or two, and then when they make friends, they're off the walls. I think they'll calm down soon though. How was the hospital?"
He sighed and rested his head on my shoulder. "We had a guy come in that fell from his second floor window and landed on a pile of yard tools and broke several bones and had a rake puncture his lung. We had to work to keep him alive, but we repaired his lung as best we could and he's stable. This is why I wanted to be a Pediatrician. I'd much rather be dealing with sick kids than repairing a lung… That's why I'm hoping this offer will come through and I can get out of the ER and go work at that children's hospital in town…" He trailed off, and it took me a second to understand what he was saying.
I looked up at his reflection in the mirror. "Wait, what? Are you serious? You're actually going to be able to go work with kids?" I asked trying to cover up exactly how excited I was that he was finally getting to do what he's dreamed of doing.
"Yep." He smiled. "The chief of staff over there came by the ER today and talked to me. Since I'd been asking around since we graduated about a position as a Pediatrician or kid's disease specialist, he thought he'd come and talk to me and see if I was still interested. There's a doctor transferring to LA and that left an opening for a Pediatrician. So, I'm going in next week to talk to him further and see the facility and where I would be working and all. I'm really excited about this Bell. I've been waiting for two years for something like this and I finally have an opening to go for it. I hope you're going to back me up with this."
I turned around in his arms quickly and cupped his cheeks with my hands.
"Are you insane? Of course I'm going to back up your decision to do this. This is your dream. I'm not going to stop you from doing something that you love. Your wanting to work with kids was part of the reason I fell in love with you. It's your passion, the reason you became a doctor in the first place."
"I just want to make sure because this affects you too. I'm not going to do anything without your ok." He said, then kissed me sweetly.
"I wouldn't want anything else for you. I can't believe you're finally going to be working with kids. I'm so happy for you baby."
"I'm glad we're already going out for our date night because we're going to celebrate tonight. And I think going to our favorite place is the perfect way to celebrate."
"Good." I kissed him quickly. "Now let me finish getting dressed so we can go… Hold the phone… Is that why you told me to wear my black dress?"
He smiled sheepishly. "Yeah. I just want it to be special tonight."
I smiled back at him. "Alright. You go get ready too. I'm almost done and we can leave in twenty minutes."
He pulled me to him and kissed me deeply. "I love you so much." He said in between kisses.
"I love you too baby." I reached out and smacked his ass. "Now go on or we're never getting out of here. I'm starving."
"Ok. I'm going, I'm going."
We pulled up to the restaurant and Edward walked around the car to open my door for me, and held his hand out for me to take.
When he ushered me inside, we were seated by the window that looked out over the garden area that the restaurant had out back.
"I've always loved the flowers that 'Mama Russo' keeps up with. It's nice that she shares her garden with the restaurant goers." I observed.
'Mama Russo', as she likes to be called sometimes, lives next to the restaurant, that she owns, and has a garden between it and her home. She allows the patrons to go out into her garden and enjoy the flowers when they're here. It's part of the draw to this place that I didn't know about before the first time we came here. It was very romantic with the white twinkling lights that she added around the area so you could see at night. It was so romantic.
"I know what you mean. We've had many nights of strolling around that garden. She's so gracious letting us out there to enjoy it."
Our waiter came over and took our order and Edward made sure he brought out their best wine. And I ordered a water too.
The doctor told me about alcohol consumption, and said I could have a little wine, but I think I'm going to stick with the water as much as I can. At least until I tell him about the baby.
When the wine came out, Edward made a toast.
"To all of our dreams coming true… All of them." He said, looking deeply into my eyes.
Wow. I feel a double meaning somewhere in there. I guess some of that's on my side too since I haven't told him about something too.
"To all of our dreams coming true." I agreed, and took a sip of the wine.
When our food came out, I dug in because I wasn't lying when I said I was starving. I skipped lunch today, trying to get some grading done so I didn't have to worry about it tonight. And the fact that I'm eating for two now makes me feel like I could eat just about anything.
Edward grabbed my hand when we were done with our entrees, and led me outside to the garden, like we do almost every other time we come here.
We walked around out there for a while and were about to go back inside for dessert when he stopped me.
He turned me around to look at him and he had a serious look in his eyes.
"Bell… We've been together for two years now and I've never been happier than I am with you. You've made my life worth living. I wouldn't know how to live if you were ever gone. We've become the other half to each other. So… I want to ask you to do something for me…" he trailed off.
Then he got down on one knee and dug in his pocket, and brought out a jewelry box.
"Oh shit…" I said under my breath.
I had to hold back the tears that were threatening to spill over.
Goddamn hormones!
He looked back up into my eyes and I saw everything in his beautiful green ones.
Love
Devotion
Happiness
Desire
Adoration
Hope
"Isabella Marie Swan, will you do me the extraordinary honor of marrying me? Will you be the future Mrs. Edward Masen?"
The tears I was holding at bay came spilling over like a damn had burst.
"YES! Yes, of course I'll be your wife." I threw myself at him, almost knocking him to the ground.
He started kissing me all over my face and chanting 'I love you, I love you, I love you'.
When I finally saw the ring, it was so perfect. It was a white gold band with a bezel set diamond in the middle, and two smaller bezel set pearls and sapphires, one on each side of the diamond.
Our birthstones.
"I had this made for you, beautiful. Nothing I ever looked at seemed right. So I thought about it and I wanted something unique for you. So I had a ring made with each of our birthstones and then the traditional diamond. I hope you like it."
Was he serious? How could I not?
"Edward, it's absolutely perfect. I've never seen anything so beautiful before… I love you so much Edward." I hugged him again as tightly as I could. I never wanted to let him go.
When he pulled back, he took the ring out of the box and held it up for me to see.
"Look on the inside."
I looked and saw an engraving on the inside of the band.
'I live because of you'
Holy fucking shit. He really is perfect.
"Oh my God, Edward."
The damn burst again and I couldn't stop the tears. He couldn't have gotten a more perfect ring for me.
He stood up and wiped away my tears and cupped my face.
"It's the truth. I couldn't live without you Bells." He placed the ring on my left hand and kissed it, then kissed my lips.
I couldn't help but throw my arms around his neck. It was now or never. I had to tell him since we were laying our hearts out there on the line.
"Our child will love you just as much as I do…" I trailed off, hoping he'd pick up on it.
He pulled back and looked at me, with a confused look on his face. Then realization dawned on him.
"Oh. Dear. Lord… Are you sure?"
I wasn't sure whether he was happy about this or not. So all I could do was nod.
The smile that spread across his face, could have split it in half. He wrapped his arms around my waist and picked me up and twirled me around, kissing anywhere he could reach.
"Oh my God, beautiful! We're going to have a baby!" He yelled into the sky.
I couldn't help but giggle at his enthusiasm. I didn't want to let him go at that moment. I wanted to stay that way for the rest of the night just basking in all of this.
"Come on beautiful. I want to dance with my future wife and mother of my child." he smiled at me.
I was grinning ear to ear, but nodded and we walked back inside. He walked us over to the jukebox and looked for a song for us to dance to. He obviously found what he was looking for because he pulled me towards the little dance area.
"Everyone, I'd like to make an announcement!" He was not doing this to me.
"This beautiful woman right here," He pointed over to me, and I blushed fifty shades of red. "Has just made me the happiest man in the world. Not only did she agree to marry me, but she just told me that she is carrying our child." He beamed at me, then the crowd in the restaurant erupted into cheers and applause.
'At Last' came on over the speakers, and Edward pulled me into his arms and kissed me as we started dancing.
I can't believe all of this is happening. Edward is getting his dream job, he asked me to marry him, and we're going to have a baby.
We're going to be a family.
Edward had his face buried in my hair, and mine was buried in his chest and I couldn't be happier in this moment. He was right, all of our dreams were coming true.
After our dance, we sat down and had our dessert to continue celebrating.
Chocolate cheesecake seriously hit's the spot when you're pregnant.
When we left, Edward wanted to go for a walk down by the piers. So we drove that way and took in the sights of ships coming in and out, and then went down to where we could walk along the water.
"When did you find out?" He asked as we stood looking at the water. He was standing behind me with his arms wrapped around my waist and his hands covering my belly, over our child.
"It was Friday when I first noticed something. I was a few days late already and you know I hadn't been feeling well, and I put two and two together. The puking in the morning the other day tipped me off. So I went to the doctor Tuesday, and she told me I was pregnant."
"How far along are you? It can't be that that far if you just noticed last week, right?" He asked.
"Right at a month. From what we could figure out, it was probably the night of my birthday, last month. So roughly, June thirteenth is what we're looking at as the due date. Are you up for this? I'm going to be hormonal, bitchy, having the worst cravings possible. I'm going to be crying over absolutely nothing, getting fat, and Lord only knows what else." I laughed at his expression. And he hesitated a little bit.
"…You mean worse then you are when you're PMSing?"
"Oh my god, Edward." I slapped his shoulder. "I am not that bad then."
"Yeah sure." He said under his breath.
"You seriously want me to start with the fucking hormonal mood swings right now? Because I will without hesitation." I was seriously going to hurt him if he was going to ruin this night.
"I'm sorry beautiful. I didn't mean it. You know I love you no matter what. Even when you're curled up on the sofa in your pajamas, glasses on, messy bun, and making me go to the store for tampons, like I promised to do."
"You have no idea how much I love you for doing that for me too. You truly are the best." I turned and kissed him.
"Come on, Bell. Let's get you home so you can get some sleep. You need to keep your strength up for our little one." He kissed my temple and led me back to the car.
Reviews are like love for me:)
