Bella p.o.v

Edward and I decided that we would spend Christmas with his family and New Year with mine. It was only fair for us to split our holidays between both families. I didn't want to spend the whole holiday season with his family, considering I wasn't even welcomed in the first place. It was fair for my family to have us for one holiday.

There isn't a day that I don't wish Edward's family treated me the way my family treats Edward. My family adored Edward as if he's their own. They welcomed him into the family since the day they met him.

Flashback

I introduced Edward to my parents about five months into our relationship. I didn't feel the need to keep him away from them and they were eager to meet him. They kept saying that it is only fair for them to meet the man that has taken up all their daughter's time. I agreed to introduce Edward once I was sure we were serious.

We spent the whole day at my parent's house. Edward and my parents hit it off from the start. I was surprised at how well they got along, considering they just met, hence our whole day at their house. It started with brunch and spanned out to dinnertime.

When it came time for us to leave Edward said, "Chief Swan, thank you so much for having me over."

"Son, call us Charlie and Renee." My father said patting Edward's shoulder.

"Yes, please call me Renee. Mrs. Swan is my mother in law, it makes me feel old." My mom said making us chuckle.

I knew Edward recognized that as their approval of him. After all, my father has never called any of my boyfriends "son." Not that I've had many boyfriends. I've had a few and he never referred to them as his son. In fact, he was a lot harder on them than he was to Edward. So the fact that he's saying son to Edward says a lot.

End of flashback

We decided to drive into the Hamptons early Christmas Eve morning. Originally we wanted to go up on the 23rd, but realized the less days we are there the better. I hoped that this Christmas wouldn't be so bad, that maybe the family would treat me decently with it being the holidays. Of course the whole family new I was coming, but they certainly weren't happy about it.

They each tried to convince Edward numerous times to leave me at home. They said it would be more fun without me, they could actually bond without me hogging Edward, that he'll enjoy his holiday for once since we've been married because he won't have to think about me, and so on. It was offensive that they think with me around Edward can't have fun. He can still bond with them and have fun, its not like I have him locked in a room.

Each time they called, it turned into a huge fight that ended with Edward hanging up on them and being very mad. More times than not, the anger was taken out on me. Between the day his mom called and this trip, he and I have gotten into several arguments. Most of the time the fights were silly and we made up quickly. Only once did things get out of hand, but we got passed that too.

I would try to tough his anger out because it was my fault he was angry anyway.

Flashback

"God damn it Alice, she is my WIFE and she is coming with me!" Edward yelled into the phone. "I don't care if you won't have fun, that's your problem not mine" He said annoyed. "Listen Alice, this goes for you and the rest of the family. I am bringing Bella and if you guys dare to treat her wrong we will be out of there so fast. I'm warning you, I won't tolerate it." He was angry, very angry.

This phone call was the straw that broke the camel's back. He was able to tolerate many phone calls before, suppressing his anger. But this call made him blow up and after that call they didn't call back. Finally doing something right by Edward.

After Edward hung up I walked over to him, trying to put a calming hand on his back. Normally, it would help calm him down, but that day it didn't help. He shrugged my hand off and stood up.

"Bella, please leave me alone. I'm in no mood to deal with you or anyone else." He said annoyed.

"Babe, don't be like that. Talk, relax, take deep breaths, it will help you. I am here to listen, don't push me away." I said as calmly as I can.

"Bella," He said warningly, "Leave me alone." He drew out every word for emphases.

"Ed-" I was cut off by a yell.

"BELLA, I AM DEALING WITH THIS BECAUSE OF YOU. SO FOR YOUR OWN WELL BEING, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE. GOD DAMN IT, IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR?" He yelled with such angry. He's never gotten that mad at me. Sure we fought, but he's never yelled that way. I was startled.

I nodded at him and quickly left before I started to cry.

It was the first time he actually said this is all my fault. Of course I knew that already, but he had never actually voiced it. I took it hard. Between the pregnancy hormones and the actual emotion of being hated for so I long, I cried... a lot.

Hours later, once he'd calmed. Edward came and begged for my forgiveness. "Bella, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it I was just angry."

"I know you were Edward, and I was trying to calm you down. Help you! But that back fired on me." I said getting upset all over again.

"Bella, I just needed to cool off by myself." He tried to explain.

"You know Edward," I start. "I know that this is all my fault. I'm very well aware of it, thank you very much. But does that mean I'm ok with you reminding me of it? No not really." I rant. "The last thing I wanted was for you to get dragged down and hurt, but now more than ever you are. I hate that!" I finish.

"Bella, I'm not angry at you. I'm angry with them. This is all their fault, they are the insensitive people." Edward tries to comfort me. "Baby, I love you and nothing will change that."

Eventually, I gave in and forgave him.

End of flashback

Once we arrived at their oversized house and Edward's family come running to him. There was a small crowd around him and I was just standing off to the side, with the luggage.

"Oh honey, you've lost weight. Are you not being fed?" Esme faked concern. I knew very well that she was saying that to imply that I don't take care of him. Which isn't true, Edward has not lost weight.

I decide to stand up for myself and say, "He has not lost weight, Esme. You just see him so rarely that he looks different to you. If you came around the city more often, you'd see that he is fine." I threw a jab in there because after all, it is the truth.

"Is that a bruise on your arm? Why do you have that?" Alice asked, ignoring my statement.

"Oh my god, that bitch hits you!" Esme exclaimed, glaring at me.

"I do not hit him!" I shot back getting angry.

"Mother, she doesn't hit me. I bumped my arm somewhere on accident. Chill out!" Edward said annoyed.

After about 10 minuets of them obsessing over how much Edward has changed, we went inside.

Dinner was the same as the rest of the day had been; his family ignored my presence. Edward and I decided we would tell his family about the baby during Christmas dinner. In all honesty, I was nervous to tell them. They hate me, they didn't want me to marry Edward, and they want us to get divorced. So will they accept the baby? Will they love this innocent baby? I don't know.

It makes me so upset that my baby won't have loving grandparents or aunts and uncles. Instead, the baby will probably have one set of grandparents and one uncle who thankfully actually likes me.

"Baby, what's got you thinking so hard?" Edward asked as we got into bed that evening.

"Nothing, I'm just tired." I knew he wouldn't believe me.

"Bella, tell me the truth." He said seriously.

"I'm just worried your family won't accept the baby." I said as I put my hand on the baby bump. The bump wasn't big; I could easily hide it for now. But it was definitely there. Edward scooted closer to me and he put his hand over mine.

"Well if they don't accept my baby, their first grandchild then so be it. They won't get to see me or my child." He said firmly.

"Ok," Was all I could say, I didn't feel like continuing the conversation.

So with that I feel asleep in the arms of the man I love, dreaming about our beautiful baby.

It was almost time for Christmas dinner. I was nervous, but with Edward by my side I knew I would be fine.

We all gathered around the table and Edward cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.

"So, we have some news to tell you guys." He said calmly. They all got curious looks on their faces and turned to look at me.

"Um, well I'm pregnant." I said nervously with a small smile on my face and my hand on my hidden baby bump.

"WHAT!" Esme yelled, "You can't be, you guys aren't meant to be. You guys should be getting divorced, not having a child." She said angrily.

"Well man, congrats." Emmett said, patting Edward's back.

Emmett was the only Cullen that actually liked me, hence my baby having only one uncle to love and spoil him or her.

Flashback

Edward is taking me to meet his brother Emmett. He wasn't able to make it to the family dinner a few weeks ago, so Edward arranged for him to meet us at a restaurant.

Edward was convinced Emmett would love me, unlike the rest of his family. Edward said Emmet is fun loving, free spirited, and very welcoming. He also said that his brother doesn't care about social statues like the rest of his family.

They may be messed up people, but at least they raised two sons right.

It was all a relief to me; I wanted at least one person from his family to like me. I'm hoping Emmett will be that one person. In an idle world all of them would like me, but I'll take what I can get.

"Edward, over here!" Emmett waved us over.

"You must be Bella." Emmett greeted as he hugged me. His greeting is much more welcoming than his family's.

"Yes, and you're Emmett. Nice to meet you." I said happily.

We took a seat and the conversation flowed easily. It seemed like he liked me. Which was a relief.

End of flashback

Emmett came over to me and gave me a big hug, kissing my cheek. He patted my bump and said, "I'm so excited to spoil her."

"Her?" Edward asked.

"Yup." Emmett said popping the p. "Uncle knows best, and I know there's a girl in there." I laugh at his confidence on this matter.

"Well, I didn't think you would be married to this worthless bitch long enough to get her knocked up." Alice said angrily to Edward, while throwing death glares at me.

"We can barely stand you and now we have to put up with your spawn too?" Rosalie said looking annoyed with me.

"I have a feeling you're not going to be welcomed in this family anymore; wait you were never welcomed." Jasper said sarcastically.

Then Carlisle stood up and looked at Edward, "I'm disappointed in you, son." He said to him.

Everyone spoke so quickly; Edward didn't get a chance to comment between.

Suddenly Esme yelled, "Both of you get the hell out of my house."

That shocked me. I expected them to be upset about this, but I didn't expect to be kicked out of the house.

"We'll leave, but don't expect to ever see me or the baby." Edward said as he got up and led to the bedroom so we can get our stuff and leave.

As we sat in the car and drove all the way back to Manhattan, I started to cry. I cried for Edward losing his family, I cried for the baby not having much family, and I cried for the situation I placed my husband and child in.

Edward and I got home late on Christmas night. The whole ride was spent in silence, with the exception of my cries. I knew Edward was too deep in his own thoughts, to try and comfort me. That's ok; we both needed the silence to think.

"Edward, I'm sorry." I apologize as we settle in bed after a long drive. "I didn't expect for things to get this bad. I was sure they would at least accept the baby."

He shakes his head, "Baby, it's not your fault. I am just shocked they are so shallow that they would be ok with not having my child and I in their lives."

"Edward, you can keep in touch with them, you know. You and the baby can visit them and have a relationship. I simply won't go when you visit." I said, hoping he would take to the idea.

As much as they hate me, I want Edward and my baby to have their family in their lives. It won't bother me. The days they go for a visit can be my "me time". It would work out.

"Bella, no. You heard how they spoke about my child. I will not forgive that easily. What's done is done." He insists.

I don't argue it anymore. I won't push him to do something he doesn't want. If he ever decided to contact them then I will support him and keep my distance. But if it never happens, then so be it.
