We pulled up at this huge shop full of maternity clothes and all things baby related. It would probably take more than an hour just to find what we're looking for. This may take a little longer than planned.

Inside it looked even bigger. There were hundreds of mothers-to-be waddling around the store and bored looking partners pestering to go. I looked at Alice. Her eyes had lit up and a huge smile spread across her eager face. Even Rosalie looked happier. I would just have to grin and bear it. Alice disappeared into a crowd of people. We tried to follow her, weaving through shelves and clothes rails. We found her by the maternity wear. I looked around me. Was I really going to have to wear that? I mean it all looked huge! Everything had elasticated waists and looks like it was built to fit elephants. Okay, so maybe I'm exaggerating slightly but still. Alice must have been thinking the same thing as she was studying each item, assessing it. She rounded a corner and disappeared out of sight. About two seconds later I heard a short burst of laughter. I peered around the corner, wanting to know what she was laughing at. She saw my head and beckoned me forwards.

"Hey Bella, you so have to get this T-Shirt!" I stood next to Alice and read what was on the front of it. I had to agree, I liked this shirt! It was a black shirt with rainbow coloured writing. It said, 'This is what happens when you party naked!', with an arrow pointing to downwards. Whoever invented that shirt is officially a genius. Way cleverer than Einstein!

"That shirt is so mine!" I reached out and tried to find one that would fit me. Was I a small or a medium? I got a medium just in case. I would save this T-Shirt for when I wasn't around Charlie. Somehow I don't think he would appreciate it as much as I do.

There were racks of shirts with funny slogans on. I laughed a lot and bought most of them. At this rate if I wanted to wear them all before I lost my pregnant belly then I would have to change twice a day! Maybe I would wear them afterwards, although it wouldn't quite be the same. I also got some boring stuff like jeans and Rosalie wanted me to get a few dresses – just in case. In case of what? A heat wave? In Forks? Get real. I somehow think that that's not going to happen. I just let her pick me some out, to keep her happy. It wouldn't be long before one of her 'turns'. This baby was really affecting her mood. One moment she could be feeling normal and other times she was quite the opposite. She had taken to beating her bump when she felt like this, which wasn't a good idea in a baby shop. There were shocked gasps and rude whispers around us when that happened. Rose tried to cover it up by stroking her stomach and cooing to it. Then we had to waddle off to somewhere out of sight.

Surprisingly the shopping went quite quickly, and by the time we got back it was almost seven o'clock. It was just about time to go home and tell Charlie the good news. We had discussed how to do it on the way back, we wanted to tell him in a way that would not get Edward killed and not kill Charlie himself. Emmett had suggested writing it on a balloon and leaving it in the kitchen and just wait for him to find it. Even though Emmett was just joking (we hope) he gave Edward an idea. Instead of saying anything we would just wait for Charlie to realise himself. Then he could come to his own conclusions.

I have to admit I was slightly apprehensive about the whole situation, I mean I didn't want to give him a heart attack or anything, he was my Dad after all! The cruiser wasn't in the driveway when I got home so I knew it wouldn't be long before the chief was home. I fixed myself something to eat whilst Edward sat on the sofa and flicked through the channels on the TV. I sat down next to him and waited nervously for Charlie's return.

I heard the sound of an engine outside and tensed. This was it, at half past eight. If I had of known I would be sat here like a whale this morning I probably wouldn't have bothered getting out of bed. I heard the key in the lock. I wrapped my hand tightly around Edwards and looked into his eyes. He spoke in a calming voice, the voice he used when he was trying to get me to fall asleep, "It's all right Bella. Don't be nervous. It's not for real, you and I both know that." Yeah I knew that but Charlie sure as hell didn't! My grip tightened on Edward's cold hand as Charlie opened the door and walked into the room.

"Hi Bells, you okay? And Edward, how are you?" He hadn't seen us yet, that much was clear. I was holding Edwards hand so tightly now that my knuckles were white!

"I'm fine thanks Dad, how are you?" My voice was several octaves higher than usual. Edward was rubbing the back of my hand with his thumb, trying to calm me. It would take a lot more than that to calm me down from this! Even though it wasn't real there was something in my brain telling me this was a dangerous situation.

"Are you sure you're all right Bella? Your voice is rather high." He was still facing away from us, hanging up his coat and taking off his boots.

"Well now that you mention it there is something I want to tell you. Well, show you would be more accurate." I stood up, pulling Edward with me.

I knew that at any moment he would turn around and see me with my humongous stomach. My heart was pounding and I was breathing in short, sharp gasps. He secured his coat on the hook before turning around to us.

"What was it you wanted to show me?"

Thanks for all the comments I got for the first chapter. I was kinda nervous about starting a new story and reading your thoughts about this new story. Anyway, let me know what you think of the new chapter. Will update soon XXX
