I walked to the door, my eyes still wet with fresh tears. Alice peeked out the side window and frowned at me.

"Ew." she said.

"What? Who is it?" I asked confused.

"See for yourself."

I rolled my eyes and went to answer the door. I came face to face with a chest.

"Hi, Bella!"

"Oh, hey, Jacob,"

Why did Alice always have to be so mean?

"Wow, someone got tall." I chuckled.

"Yeah," he said.

Alice made an unfriendly noise from behind me and then said something about fixing up the bathroom.

"You want to come in?" I asked.

He nodded and I moved aside for him to enter. He sat on the couch and eyed me wearily.

"Why are you crying?" he asked. "He'll be back in few months."

I noticed the emphasis on 'He'll'. Jacob hated saying Edward's name. He also resented the fact that I married Edward so quickly without any warning.

"I'm not crying about that. Though, thanks for reminding me." I said to the floor.

"Sorry, Bella, I didn't mean it like that." he apologized.

"It's okay, Jacob. I know, I'm still upset, though. I just miss him so much."

"I'm sure he misses you too. But while he's gone you have me,"

I ignored that.

"I'm going to see if Alice is alright, I'll be right back."

I left the room to go see Alice. She was sitting on the bathroom counter looking at my pregnancy tests. I sat next to her and put an arm around her shoulder.

"Should I tell him a letter?" I asked.

"That's a little impersonal. He calls you once a week right? Tell him then."

"He called yesterday, though, you were there. Everyone was there."

"You can a week to tell him you know,"

"Yeah, I just want him to know before we tell anyone else."

"That sounds reasonable, Bella."

She hopped off the counter and jumped up and down. She squealed and hugged me tight.

"Oh! Bella, you'll be the best mommy!"

"Shush! Alice, Jacob is in the next room!" I whispered harshly.

"Oh! Right!" She whispered back.

"Come on, I'm being rude by just having him wait in there."

"Why do you hang out with him? You're married, Bella."

"Alice," I whined. "He's a family friend. I've known him for a long time. Besides he's just a friend and only a friend. It shouldn't matter if I'm married; I'm allowed to have friends, Alice."

"I know. It obvious he doesn't see you as a friend, though. Remember at the wedding? He objected, in front of everyone."

I remembered. I was so angry. It ruined everything; I could see why Alice would be so upset over it. She spent so much time planning that wedding, and then he interfered with her wedding for her brother and best friend.

"I remember," I sighed.

"The only person who was happy about that was Charlie." she grumbled.

"I know. But he said he was sorry. I've gone two months without so much as a word. I've let him apologize and we made up. Come on Alice, you can too."

"There's nothing to make up for. I've never like him and I never will." she pouted.

I giggled and grabbed her hand. I pulled her into the living room and onto the love-seat across from Jacob.

"That was long," he muttered.

"Yeah, sorry, Alice and I had to talk."

"Oh,"

Alice exhaled in a big gust, obviously unhappy.

"Um, so, Bella, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with me in La Push tonight." Jake said.

Alice perked up in her seat. She sat straight and grinned.

"Actually she can't," Alice chirped.

"Why don't you let her speak for herself?"

Alice turned to me with a large grin plastered on her face.

"Bella, we have talking to do about our new arrangements."

I let a smile play on my lips. My hand instinctively went to my stomach; I stopped it from moving before Jake could guess.

"Oh, those arrangements," I giggled.

"What are you talking about?" Jake asked, annoyed.

"Sorry, Jake. It's a secret!" I said.

Alice and I giggle in at our secretiveness while Jake' expression became more and more annoyed.

"Well, that's all I wanted to know. I guess I should go." He said standing.

"Huh? Jake you just got her. If you just wanted to ask if we could hang out you could have just called."

He looked slightly as uncomfortable before he spoke with confidence.

"I just wanted to see you. I'm glad I did, you look much better. You're kind of… glowing."

I blushed as he said that. Was it that obvious? Alice giggled and bounded up to the door.

"Well, if you're leaving you should be on your way! Bella and I have much to discuss. Plus, Charlie will be home soon so I'm helping with dinner."

Jake stepped around Alice's small frame to the door. He looked back to me.

"You'll get over him soon, Bella. You look better already."

My jaw dropped. Why did he always have to ruin good moments? I didn't let my anger seep, I had two to take care of now.

Alice muttered a curse word under her breath and slammed the door loudly behind Jacob. I sat down on the couch and patted my stomach.

"I can't believe you're friends with that jerk!" Alice screeched.

"Volume," I mumbled.

"Oh!" she exclaimed and came to sit beside me. "Sorry. How's my little niece or nephew doing?"

I smiled as she put her hand over my stomach. I leaned back and thought of Edward. I missed him so much. I would tell him the next time we spoke about our baby. I smiled so wide I thought my cheeks would rip apart.
