Ok, so I'm sorry it has been so long since my update but life as a pregnant teen is so much busier than I thought it would be. Juggling school, doctors appointments, work, and what little of a social life that I have. But, enough about me and on with the story.
Chapter 2:
The week passed quickly. My belly along with my attraction to Edward was growing by the day. I was excited that my school week was over and done with. Today, I have my 7th month doctor's appointment with Dr. Cullen. It's seemed to be such a long time since I had seen my baby boy. Emmett was coming with me this time; it was going to be the first time that he was going to see him. I think he's more excited than I am. Right now, I'm in the last period of the day, biology. I looked up at the clock 2:45, 15 minutes to go. I started doodling on my notebook and by the time I had sketched a flower on the front cover the bell rang. I gathered my things as fast as I could and stuffed them in my book bag. I ran down the hall to Emmett's office and saw that he and Edward were discussing seemingly important. I stood there fore a moment watching Edward. He captivated my every sense. The way he brushed his hand through his hair, the way he stood leaning over Em's desk with his hands in his pockets. The way his scent intoxicated me, everything about him attracted me more to him. Finally I knocked on the door before entering Edward and Emmett both looked up. Edward's crooked smile graced his face immediately and his eyes held mine for what seemed like forever, until I finally looked away, my cheeks flushed with color. I brought myself out of the hold that Edward put on me.
"Hey Em, Are you ready?" I asked
"Yep. Just about, I was filling Edward in on what I needed from the team." He replied closing the files that were sprawled all across his desk.
"I told Emmett that I would take over practice tonight so that he could go to the doctor with you and he wouldn't have to cancel practice." Edward added. I only nodded that I understood. That's all I could do, He had me in one of his holds again. I could barely breathe and my heart beat was erratic. Henry was all over the place kicking this way and that.
"Well, we should go." Emmett said noticing the little trance Edward and I were in. We all walked out of his office and into the hall. Emmett locked the door and Edward and I continued toward the front doors. Edward and I stood there back in our trance he reached his hand toward the one that was placed on my belly. He touched my fingers lightly and trailed his across my belly. My heart began to race again which in turn made Henry start to move. I guess Edward felt it too. He started to chuckle only loud enough for the two of us to hear. I heard Emmett's footsteps coming closer and I began to get nervous and turned toward him
"Let's go." I said breathlessly
"Okay." He said slowly. He knows something isn't quite right. I just hope he didn't see Edward return my flirtation. Emmett and I didn't talk at all on the way to the doctor's office both of us in our own little reverie. We didn't have to wait long my name was called not long after we sat down. A man with blond hair, in a white doctor's coat came to greet us.
"Emmett." The man said cheerfully
"Dr. Cullen." Emmett said with the same enthusiasm shaking his hand. "This is my sister Bella, and this." He said rubbing my belly "Is my nephew, who continues to remain nameless." Emmett said giving me a pleading smile.
"He's not nameless; it's just a secret for the moment." I said smiling. "It's nice to meet you Dr. Cullen." I said shaking his hand
"It's nice to meet you too. But please call me Carlisle." He said with a gentle smile.
"Ok." I said smiling too.
"Well, let's get started, shall we?" Carlisle said leading the way. He hooked me up to the monitor and a loud but calming thud filled the room.
"Whoa, what is that?" Emmett asked in amazement I looked up at his confused face smiling.
"That's his heart beat." I replied still smiling.
"Really?" He asked shocked
"Yes it is." Carlisle replied
"But it's so fast!" He said still amazed
"And strong." Carlisle added "Bella's doing a beautiful job." He continued unhooking me from the machine.
"Thank you." I said with complete fulfillment. Since I found out that I was pregnant I am always worried about whether or not I was giving this baby everything he needs.
"Would you like to see him?" Carlisle asked
"Could we?" Emmett asked eagerly. I nodded in agreement.
"Well, I believe Bella is far along enough now that we can do a 3D ultrasound. Now, I was even more excited I have been waiting for this day for a long time. "I will be right back." He said before leaving the room. He was came back soon with a monitor a bit different than the ones I was use to. He turned it on, put that jelly on my belly and turned on the screen. Soon my little boy appeared. The 3D ultrasound was amazing! You could see every little feature of his face and what his tiny little nose was going to look like. He looked as if he was waving. I looked up at Emmett to see his reaction and I was surprised to see tears in his eyes. He smiled and leaned down and placed a kiss on my forehead.
"Dad would be so proud of you Bella." He whispered
"You think so?" I asked hopeful
"Definitely." He said
"Let's print some pictures out for you to show the others." Carlisle said with smile. I nodded eagerly getting up. Emmett and Carlisle walked out of the room so that I could get dressed. When I walked out they were talking casually.
"I'll see you Sunday for dinner, right Bella?" Carlisle asked
"Sure will." I said happily. He hugged me and kissed my cheek. When we arrived home the house was full of laughter and conversation. Jasper, Rosalie, and a woman that I took to be Alice were in the kitchen.
"Hey guys, how'd your appointment go?" Rose said kissing Emmett and both on the cheek.
"Great!" Emmett said happily. I pulled out the pictures and handed them to Rose.
"He's adorable!" Rose squealed running over to Alice. They were both gushing over him.
"Oh! I forgot to introduce you two." Rose gasped
"Finally." Alice replied rolling her eyes.
"Bella, this is Alice, Alice, this is Bella." Rose said
"I have been waiting to meet you since Emmett told us you were coming." She said squeezing me tightly
"Alice, Be careful. That's my nephew you're squishing." Emmett said protectively. Alice gave him a forgiving smile.
"Sorry, sometimes I don't know my own strength." She replied
"I'm alright, brother bear's just a bit over protective." I reassured her, shooting a smile Emmett's way.
"Yep, it's my right." He replied messing up my hair.
"So what's on the agenda tonight? Emmett asked
"Alice and I made reservations at Bella Italia for 7." Rose answered still looking at the ultrasound pictures. Emmett nodded in understanding.
"Alice and I wanted to talk to you about what you wanted to do with the nursery before we went shopping tomorrow." Rosalie said pulling me upstairs to the empty bedroom that would soon become Henry's.
"I was thinking like….navy blue and khaki for the colors." I told them moving around the room.
"And cherry wood." Alice added. I nodded, it sounded nice. I could imagine it perfectly. I was actually excited to go shopping and that was weird I hated shopping something fierce.
"Ok, let's see, we need a crib, changing table, an armoire, and a rocking chair." Alice said rambling.
"Actually we don't need a rocking chair, I was going to use the one my father made when he and my mom had Em and I." I explained knowing that the dark wood would go perfectly with our plans
"That's nice." Alice complimented. I thought so too. I loved that chair it was still in my room. I remember dad reading me bed time stories and falling asleep to the slow calming sway of the chair in my daddy's arms, and all I ever hoped for was that my child would know the same comfort. Alice and Rose must have gotten that I was in my own little world because the next thing I knew I turned around and they were gone. I turned back around and touched the walls with my fingertips imagining all the laughter and life that would flow through this room. Soon, soft footsteps came up the stairs and through the room. I turned to see Edward standing in the doorway.
"Oh, hey Edward." I said not quite expecting him.
"I didn't scare you did I Bella?" He asked concerned
"Oh no! I just thought you were one of the girls." I explained.
"Are you ready for your shopping extravaganza tomorrow?" He asked with a smile
"I'm not quite sure actually." I laughed. He nodded
"Alice and Rose can be frightening when it comes to shopping." He warned
"I figured." I replied. He walked a few steps into the room and stood only inches away from me.
"Bella, I don't know why I feel this way." He stated
"And what way is that?" I asked curiously
"I don't like to be away from you for too long." He explained. My mind started to go off on it's own like it usually did with everything that could happen everything that I wanted to happen but couldn't. And then, he did something he shouldn't have done. He kissed me. But, I reacted unexpectedly. My hand entangled itself in his messy bronze hair and I found myself returning his kiss. His scent captivated my senses and I couldn't think. But soon his scent faded from my senses and my mind became clear again. I broke away from him realizing what we were doing.
"Edward….we can't do this." I said breathless. He just stood there for a moment looking at the floor. "For so many reasons. You're my teacher, I'm your student. I'm 17, you're 24. I'm pregnant, and you're not the father. You're my brother's best friend….." I rambled. Until he put his fingers to my lips to quiet them.
"I know Bella, I've thought of all of it." He said simply. I became confused. Why would he do this if he had thought of the long list why he shouldn't.
"Then why…." I trailed of not sure finish.
"I couldn't not do it." He try to explain but I still didn't understand. He must have seen my confusion because he continued on. "Bella," he started grabbing my hands. " You're not like any woman I have ever met, you're intelligent, funny, beautiful, and you're the most confusing person that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing." He was chuckling lightly as he finished. My cheeks flushed a light rose color. He touched his index finger to my cheek and ran it across my cheek.
"What happens next?" I asked uncertain
"Well you'll be 18 in a month or two so the age is taken care of. As for the student/teacher issue you'll be out of school in 7 months and then we'll be home free, but until then I think it best to keep us discrete." I nodded and then I realized there was one matter he hadn't brought up.
"Edward.. What about…." I started then looked down and rubbed my belly. He smiled and hooked his index finger under my chin and forced me to look up
"I will be there in any way you want or need me to be." He said stressing the words "any way". I smiled. I wasn't sure how this was going to work but I had to try. He kissed me on my fore head and held me tight He smothered his face into my hair and breathed in deeply.
"We should get downstairs." I said interrupting the amazing moment we were in. but I didn't want to let go.
"Mmm hmm" he mumbled but he still didn't let go. He took one last deep breath and let go. He took my hand and led me downstairs. He didn't let go of my hand until we saw the others.
"Finally! I'm starved let's go." Emmett said rubbing his belly. We all went out to the cars.
"We're not all gonna fit in my jeep." Emmett stated
"Why doesn't Bella ride with Edward, She'll probably appreciate the extra room." Alice suggested with a knowing smile.
"Okay, is that alright with you Bella?" Emmett asked
"Yep. That's fine with me." I replied. Edward led me to his car. A silver Volvo, it was nice. The leather interior seemed untouched. He had a really nice stereo system and I wandered how he got all this on a teacher's salary. He turned the key and the quiet engine revved to life. Bella Italia was in Port Angeles an hour's drive from forks and I was grateful for the alone time with Edward. He drove with one hand the other holding mine in my lap. He rubbed soothing circles in the back of my hand. He made me feel different than I have ever felt before. Don't get me wrong I loved Jake, with all my heart. But, with Edward it was different. I wasn't afraid to say what was on my mind, afraid that he would think it was stupid. I think because Jake and I had been together he never really saw me as seventeen. He treated me like a child, like when I said something I didn't understand what it was that I was saying. With Edward I felt safe, not like with Jake. I felt safe but it was his jealousy that was protecting me, not his love or compassion for me. We drove in silence. I loved riding in the car. It was so peaceful, so quiet. We soon reached the restaurant and saw that Emmett was already parked. Edward parked in the empty space next to him. He turned of the car and turned to me. He smiled crookedly at me. It was becoming my favorite smile of his. I couldn't help but smile back he reached over and brought his palm to my face. I took it in my hand and kissed it. He smiled and kissed me softly, but soon our kiss grew more passionate. He slid his tongue between my lips and into my mouth. His taste was indescribable.
"We can't do this here." He said breaking away from me. I nodded in agreement. He smiled and tapped my nose with the tip of his index finger. I crunched up my nose and we both smiled. We made our way inside the restaurant and a hostess led us to our table.
"Finally, I ordered you a decaffeinated iced tea." Emmett said when he saw us approaching.
"Thank you, Emmy." I said kissing him on the cheek and taking the seat next to him. Edward sat next to me and held my hand under the table. I gave him a small smile and returned back to the group.
"So we have a big task a head of us tomorrow Bella." Alice said
"Yeah, I would have started shopping in Phoenix but my mom and Jake wanted me to keep all other options open. I said irritated at the mention of the two people I couldn't stand being around at the moment.
"They wanted you to give the baby up for adoption?" Alice asked in a sad tone. I nodded unable to talk because of the tea in my mouth. I swallowed and began to tell the story.
"Yeah, after it was too late for me to have an abortion." I stated
"No way! Who would do something like that!" Alice gasped
"What they were really worried about was the way they would be perceived." I replied "But I knew that he was meant for me the first time I heard his heart beating from inside of me. I'll admit I wasn't sure up until then. But I never considered abortion." I continued. I smiled at the memory. Dinner was good all around we joked around and laughed. When we got back to the house it was really late so Alice, Edward, and Jasper decided to stay because we were getting up early in the morning anyway. Alice and Jasper took Henry's room and Edward was on the couch, but not for long. I was just about asleep when I heard my door creak open. I looked over and saw Edward next to my bed.
"Hi." I said with a smile.
"Can I join you?" He asked. I opened my blanket for him to slide into. He got in and I laid my head on his chest.
"Edward?" I asked into the darkness
"Yeah?" He replied
"Are you sure about this? Us I mean." I asked uncertain if I wanted to hear the answer. He looked down trying to see my face through the darkness.
"More than anything I have ever been sure about in my entire life." He assured me.
"But you could get in a lot of trouble if this gets out Edward." I explain
"I know but part of me doesn't care." He answered. That wasn't the answer I was expecting. Bella, I don't know what it is about you but I feel like I'd be willing to give up anything as long as I'm with you, I feel like it would be okay. This is nuts how could we be feeling so strongly for each other so quickly?
"I love you Bella." He confessed. I had only said that to one person in my entire life and that was Jake. It took us a year to say it too. I've never been in a relationship that moved so quickly. But this strong urge in my heart told me to say it so I did.
"I love you too." I said with a smile. He kissed me with such force that it was hard to resist. He stopped and looked into my eyes as if to ask permission. I thought about it for a second but it all felt so right. So I nodded.
"Are you sure?" He asked with uncertainty
"I'm hardly a virgin Edward." I said gesturing toward my bulging belly
"I know, but all of this is moving so fast that I don't want to do something you're going to regret." He answered I didn't answer in words. I kissed him until he was standing on his knees, then I started unbuttoning his shirt while he played with my hair. I sat up to take his shirt all the way off taking my time. Kissing up his collarbone as I went. He undid his pants a slid them off. We laid back down, I had only an old t-shirt and a pair of underwear on. He started to lift up my shirt but I stopped him before he went any further. He stopped kissing me and looked at me..
"See I told you, too fast." He said breathing heavily, taking his hands from my waist.
"That's not it." I said shaking my head.
"Then, what is it?" He asked confused
"Edward look at me." I replied he looked down the full length of my body.
"What?" He asked still confused
"I look disgusting." I stated. He chuckled.
"Bella You're the most beautiful woman I have ever met in my life." He replied serious now.
"No, I'm not.
I'm fat." I answered stubbornly. He took a deep breath
"What can I say to make you believe that what I say is true?" he asked running his hand along my jaw. I only shrugged.
"Fine." He said giving in. "If it will make you more comfortable."
"Thank you." I replied kissing him, soon our passion was back. He slid off my panties and positioned himself over me. He gave me one last look , to make sure I hadn't changed my mind. I only encouraged him. He slowly pushed himself inside of me. I had to bite my bottom lip to stifle the moan that threatened to escape. He went further inside, which only made it so much harder to keep the moans at bay. It had been so long since I have had so much pleasure built up inside of me. The emotions were different than I have ever felt with Jake. He suddenly quickened his pace, and I couldn't keep it in any more I moaned his name softly as the wave of ecstasy came over me. We rode it out together. He buried his face in my neck to keep himself quiet. Afterwards, we laid there tangled up in each other.
"I love you so much Bella." He whispered kissing me softly.
"I love you too." I replied drifting off to sleep.
AN: Okay so I'm sorry it took so long but hopefully the next one won't take as long. But anyway sorry if the last part sucked :/ REVIEW!
