TWO MONTHS

Bella:

I was managing my bakery when none other than the notorious James the business man comes prancing in. Everyone in Forks can't stand business men and I don't blame them. Business men don't care about anyone but themselves. James decided to take a seat at the counter instead of in a booth.

"Bella, nice to see you again." James said, grinning at me, as I grabbed a rag and started wiping the counters.

"Its Ms. Swan to you." I snapped, as I steadied wiping the counters.

"So, how is things with Edward?" James asked, as he picked up his drink and took a sip.

"Why do you care?" I questioned, rolling my eyes, as I threw the rag back in the bucket.

"Just wondering." James replied, staring his brown eyes deeply into mine.

"Well, we broke up." I admitted, avoiding eye contact.

"So, are you going to raise that baby by yourself?" James asked, eyeing my stomach.

"Shush!" I exclaimed, walking around the counter, towards him.

I grabbed his arm then pulled him into the kitchen. The staff were on lunch break so I didn't have to worry about them hearing.

"How do you know about my pregnancy?" I queried, locking the door behind me.

"Oh, I have my connections." James responded, very amused.

"Well, don't say anything." I growled, as I approached him.

"And what is going to keep me quiet?" James asked, eyeing a tray of cinnamon buns.

"You can have as many of those as you want, and they are on the house." I offered, grinning at him.

"Wow thanks, but that won't be enough." James retorted, walking towards the tray.

"Then what else do you want?" I asked, impatiently, following him.

"A date." James answered, as he picked up a cinnamon bun.

"So, you're blackmailing me to go on a date with you?" I clarified, as I picked up the tray of cinnamon buns.

"Its not really blackmail, its simply me asking you out and you agreeing" James explained, as he took a bite out of the cinnamon bun he took.

"So, its charity?" I questioned, as I placed the buns back into the oven.

"No, just forget it, but we are going somewhere formal. Bring your two friends, because I have two friends of my own. Also, dress sexy, but don't let the dress be to tight that they will probably be able to see a little baby bump." James asserted, patting my stomach.

"Don't tell me how to dress!" I snapped, pushing his hand off of my stomach.

"Wear something blue." James informed me, as he finished up his cinnamon bun.

"Here's the address." James proclaimed, opening up his wallet, in search of a card.

"What is this event even about?" I asked, as he handed me the card.

"Businessmen from Washington, California, and Oregon are going to be there and maybe little Eddie too, so, I'll see you there." James explained, as he unlocked the kitchen door and walked out.

I can't stand him. He makes everyone in this town angry. He needs to find someone else to do his dirty work. But, if I don't he is going to tell Edward about my pregnancy. Why is this happening? How did he even find out?

I went back out and my staff just came back from their lunch break and we already were busy for the evening. Orders were pouring in. My bakery was so packed. When I finally got a break, I decided to call Rose and Alice. I rang Alice first then told her to hold on while I called Rose.

"Hey Bella, make this quick its not my lunch break yet." Rose declared, heavy breathing, through the phone.

"Yeah, what's up Bella?" Alice questioned, curiously.

"James knows." I answered, as I walked towards the restroom.

"Knows what?" Alice wondered, sounding slightly confused.

"About my pregnancy." I whispered, with a serious tone.

"Are you serious?" Rose queried, nervously.

"As a heart attack." I responded, as I turned on the water faucet.

"Is he going to tell Edward?" Alice asked, anxiously.

"He said he won't if we go to this business party with him tonight." I continued, grabbing a paper towel.

"We?" Rose questioned, as I dried my hands.

"He has friends and wants you and Alice to show up." I finished, throwing the paper towel in the trash.

"What if the guys are there?" Alice asked, uneasily.

"Yeah, Bella, it's a party for businessmen, what if the guys are there?" Rose stated, as I walked out of the bathroom.

"Call Jasper, and ask where he is." I reasoned, walking back towards the front of the bakery.

"And if he is in Forks?" Rose questioned, as I took a seat at the counter.

"Then there coming and we should be prepared for questions." I stated, grabbing a toothpick.

"I will call Jasper on my lunch break, I have to go, a man has just been wheeled in on a gurney. Seems he has been in a horrible car accident." Rose said, before hanging up.

"I have to go to Bella, Old Lady Whitaker's cat needs a shot." Alice stated, hanging up after Rose.

I stayed at the bakery for a couple of more hours then decided to let the manager I hired lock up. I walked to my car and drove to my house. Alice and Rose were waiting outside of my house.

"Why are you guys here?" I asked, as I got out of my car.

"We have a party to go to today." Alice rejoined, slightly agitated.

"We brought clothes!" Rose sung out, holding up three bags.

She handed one bag to me and handed one to Alice. We walked into my house and changed quickly.

"The guys are in Maryland." Rose informed us, as we were in the bathroom doing our make up.

"Good!" I added, as we did the last touches on our make up.

We grabbed our purses and made our way to the front door.

"Wait!" Rose hollered, coming to a complete stop.

"What?" I wondered, as Alice and I both turned towards her.

"I have to go drain the main vein!" Rose answered, crossing her legs, and scrunching up her face.

"Rose go pee!" Alice laughed, as Rose ran to the bathroom.

"What are we going to do with her?" I asked Alice, laughing as well.

Alice shrugged her shoulders as we waited for Rose to come back out.

"Ready!" Rose stated, drying her hands with a paper towel before throwing it in the trash.

We walked to my car and I let Rose drive as I got into the passenger seat. Rose sped off trying to get there as soon as possible, so we can leave as soon as possible. We arrived and saw James standing in front of the building.

"I thought I have been stood up." James remarked, throwing his arm around my waist.

"No, because then you will tell Edward." I commented, pushing his arm away.

"You will eventually like me Bella!" James exclaimed, a little to confidently, as he grabbed my waist again.

We walked towards the entrance and James held me in his arms the whole way towards the door.

"The guys that were suppose to be with you girls had to go on a business trip at the last minute." James informed, winking at Alice and Rose.

"Oh please!" Rose scoffed, pulling Alice toward the buffet line.

I watched Alice and Rose stuff their plates and then they sat down and started eating. James was introducing me to his friends and I was getting hungry.

"Wow your friends can eat, you would think they were pregnant." James proclaimed, laughing.

I didn't say anything and he knew something.

"Wait, there pregnant!" James shrieked, causing me to throw my hand over his mouth.

"Shush, yes they are, now be quiet before the whole world finds out." I muttered, releasing my hand from around his mouth.

"Go eat!" James demanded, as he noticed I kept starring at the food.

He has to remember that now I am eating for two. I sat down with Rose and Alice and we watched James walk around, talk and flirt with different people. He has no manners. He hasn't talked to me since I made my plate. Should I tell Rose and Alice that he knows about their pregnancies. Yeah I should. Maybe not. Yeah I should, they have the right to know.

"James knows!" I blurted out, as I wiped my hands with a napkin.

"Knows about what?" Alice asked, as her eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"About your pregnancies as well." I answered, slightly wincing.

"Oh great, who is going to find out next?" Rose mumbled, smacking her forehead with her hand.

"I'm sorry!" I apologized, grabbing both Alice's and Rosalie's hand.

"Its not your fault, there going to find out sooner or later, I just don't want the guys to find out." Alice replied, rubbing my hand.

As I finished eating James called me over. I stood up and threw my plate in the trash then walked over to him. He was grinning like it was Christmas morning and he had millions of presents.

"Why are you so happy?" I asked, as he approached me.

"Because I have you as a date." James answered, wrapping his arm around my waist.

"Well this wasn't out of my own free will." I reminded him, as I pushed his hands from around my waist.

"I know." James whispered, leading me towards the dance floor.

"After today this is over." I clarified, as he placed his hands around my waist.

"Yes, but I still have to get my cinnamon buns." James retorted, as we began to slow dance.

Every once in awhile I would glance at the table and see Alice and Rose talking to each other. But, every once in awhile some guys would go over and talk to them. James had me dancing for hours. Did he forget I am a pregnant woman? I am in heels and I am in desperate need of a massage. Maybe Rose or Alice will give me one later if I beg. After about three hours at this party it started getting dull. The only thing these guys talk about is money. Come on there are other things to talk about. James ditched me to dance with this blonde woman who looked half his age.

After that James went to go sit down with these three men who looked very professional. I think there having a meeting. Wait, there having a business meeting in the middle of a party. What is the definition of party in their minds?

"Rose, Alice I'm ready to go!" I stated, as I approached them.

"Lets go!" Rose added, grabbing her purse.

"Where do you think you're going?" James asked, as we made our way towards the door.

"Home, where does it look like?" I commented, as we walked towards the car.

"You can't leave without me giving you permission." James declared, grabbing my arm.

"I can do what I please!" I said, through gritted teeth, snatching my arm out of his hand.

He doesn't want to mess with a hormonal pregnant woman.

"Bella, get back here!" James shouted, as I turned around and walked back to him.

"Do you really want to make a scene when your boss is here?" I questioned, face to face with him.

James didn't reply so I figured what his answer was.

"I'm not going to let you blackmail me anymore, Edward is bound to find out sooner or later so I really don't care anymore." I snapped, as I finished walking towards the car.

James jumped back when I snapped causing Alice and Rose to laugh. "Come back!" James hollered, as I met up with Alice and Rose, and then finished walking to the car.

I put my hand up quieting him as I walked away. He must wants to cause a scene. We were still hungry so we picked up some pizza and headed back to my house. We watched movies as we ate pizza. We gossiped and told each other how our jobs were doing.

I can't wait to have my baby here with me. Sometimes this house is a little lonely and I know Alice and Rose feel the same way. We fell asleep on my living room floor. We have clothes and necessities over each others house since we usually spend the night over each other's house frequently because we feel lonely. I woke up to someone opening my front door.

"Who is that?!" I bellowed, jumping up as fast as possible.

"It's only us!" a male voice answered, as I heard feet walking across my wood floor, making its way towards us.
