Impossible Possibilities

Chapter Three

BPOV

Five more minutes...

I could tell from the light hitting my closed eyelids that the sun was just rising in the sky. The last thing I remember was being rocked back and forth in Edwards arms outside of the bathroom, and now I'm waking up in what seems to be our bed. I must have fallen asleep after showing Edward those tests. I didn't even get a chance to talk to him about the result.

I knew I needed to open my eyes and speak with him about everything but I was beyond worried about his reaction. What if he didn't want our baby? Would he ask me to have an abortion? Does he regret being intimate with me? I squeezed my eyes shut tighter, hating the unanswered questions swirling around my mind but being to chicken to actually voice them. Just five more minutes...

"Darling I know you're awake.." Edwards velvety voice cooed in my ear making me shiver.

He called me darling so he mustn't be too mad. Peeking one eye open, I was met with my favourite crooked smile. I smiled back hesitantly and ducked my head back into his neck breathing in his scent to calm my nerves down.

Strong arms wound around my waist pulling me closer to his chest. The next thing I knew we were moving and I suddenly found myself sitting upright on Edwards lap in bed. His arms were still around my waist as he leaned against our headboard smiling. He brushed away the hair infront of my eyes and pulled me closer to his body, burying his nose in my hair. "Good morning love."

Sighing I ran my fingers through his messy hair while replying. "Good morning."

We sat like that for a few minutes comfortable in each others arms.

When Edward finally spoke his words instantly filled me with dread. "I wish you'd told me sooner, I could have helped."

I knew it! He didn't want our baby, he wished I'd told him sooner so we could have aborted it as soon as possible. No, I can't harm our baby, I don't care what happens to me. Can he not see what a miracle this is. Please don't let him ask me.

"Bella, you're shaking what's wrong? Please look at me." Cold fingers gently tilted my head up so I was looking into his worried eyes.

I could only blurt out my one and only thought at that moment. "It's not the babies fault."

He looked confused for a moment before recognition reached his eyes.

"No Bella, No! I would never ask you to do that. Please love take a few deep breaths for me so we can talk. Everything will be fine I promise." His words calmed me slightly so I followed his instructions, sucking in some much needed oxygen into my deprived lungs.

When I felt my breathing regulate I tried to apologise for my behaviour. Of course he cut me off firmly. "Don't apologise, we haven't talked about things yet. I can see where you could misinterpret my words there. How are you feeling?"

Sighing I leaned back into his arms before answering. "I feel okay I suppose. I'm just worried. Do you want this baby Edward?"

I stiffened in his arms waiting for his answer. When it came I could finally breath a sigh of relief.

"Of course I do. I've never wanted anything more. I'm just worried Bella."

I looked up into his eyes and saw the panic radiating out of him in waves. I could only repeat his earlier words hoping they would comfort him in some way. "Everything will be fine. It will all work out."

Holding my gaze he lowered his lips to mine and kissed me sweetly for several minutes. Then of course my stomach had to go and ruin the moment by growling so loud it probably woke my dad up in his bed at home.

"Breakfast time for you I think." I shook my head at Edwards teasing words. Right now I needed a shower the most.

Hopping out of bed I grabbed Edwards hand and started pulling him towards the bathroom. He knew what I wanted seeing as this was a morning routine of ours for the past few weeks. We always showered together. Chuckling he humoured me and let me pull him into the bathroom.

"Okay love but after our shower you will eat then we will speak to Carlisle. Okay?" I nodded and quickly adjusted the water to the right temperature to ease my tense muscles.

"God I feel like such a pig!"

I had just finished a three egg omelette with ham and cheese and a chocolate croissant with a bowl of fruit. Edward was smiling at me from across the kitchen counter but I could see the worry in his eyes. He wanted to go see Carlisle. Sighing I hopped down from the stool and held my hand out for Edward to take. His eyes lit up with relief as he quickly grasped my hand and started leading me to Carlisle's study upstairs.

When we reached the closed door Carlisle quickly called us in. His calm smile did little to erase my worries but I smiled back none the less. We sat in two chairs infront of his large mahogany desk and waited for him to speak. I had no idea how to start this conversation.

"I couldn't help but notice the tests on the bathroom cabinet and took a look at your results. I'm guessing you both have a lot of questions for me and I will try my hardest to answer them for you, but don't forget this is as foreign to me as it is to you." I nodded at his words while looking at Edward nervously.

He squeezed my hand in support and I squeaked out my first question. "How could this happen Carlisle? And please don't tell me that whole – when a man loves a woman they have a special cuddle - speech, Renee told me that years ago."

Despite their obvious worry, both men laughed quietly at my little outburst.

"I've thought about this a lot last night as you slept Bella. I don't know for sure but I will tell you my theory." He paused briefly to collect himself before carrying on. "We all know that vampires can not have children as our bodies can never change once we are reborn as this creature. In order to have a child the body needs to be able to modify itself for the duration of the child's growth. It needs to be able to grow and stretch to accommodate the foetus's growth yet female vampires cannot change. On the other hand, males of our species do not need to do anything apart from contributing their sperm. Our bodies our frozen as we were but we still have those fluids. The blood we drink produces our venom and other bodily fluids, therefore we seem to be able to contribute still to the life cycle. How our sperm is compatible with the human woman's egg is a mystery altogether." I could feel my face colouring as Carlisle casually discussed our bodily fluids.

Thankfully Edward asked my next question for me. "But Carlisle, how have we never heard of a vampire producing offspring with humans before? Surely at some point or another vampire human relationship had been formed. What about those of the incubus and succubus. There must have been a time when a male vampire had impregnated a human even accidentally?" I rubbed the back of his hand hoping to calm him down slightly. I could see his questions waiting to bubble over his calm exterior.

Carlisle scratched his neck in a completely unnecessary human gesture while thinking over his reply. "I understand what you're saying Edward but think about this logically. Even if a vampire did mate with a human the humans survival rates would be very low. If they had survived who knows if they would have become pregnant. And after the immortal children had been eradicated from our world and banned from being created, I'm guessing if anyone had been pregnant, they would have hid the fact for fear of being accused of breaking the law."

Carlisle leaned forward in his seat and smiled at me slightly to get my attention. "Bella have there been any other changes other than that I already know of?"

I shook my head while thinking if I had missed anything.

Edward cleared his throat from my side and spoke up. "I've noticed Bella's abdomen has become slightly distended."

My eyes snapped down to my stomach in alarm. I couldn't see anything different at all.

"You may not notice it Bella but to my eyes I can see a subtle change. I noticed before in the shower but thought it best to wait to tell you." He squeezed my hand while I continued looking down at my stomach. Was my baby really growing in there? It suddenly started to feel much more real.

"Carlisle?" Edwards worried voice made me finally look away from my stomach. He was looking at Carlisle with worry clear on his face. "Is Bella going to be okay?" I squeezed his hand in support while waiting for Carlisle to answer.

"I honestly don't know. The worst case scenario is that we change Bella when the child is born if she is unable to carry on as a human. For now I suggest me monitor you daily Bella and record any changes as soon as they arrive." I nodded and looked over to Edward as he stared off into space.

When he finally looked back over to me I could see the determination set in his features. "Everything will be fine. I won't lose you or our baby."

My heart swelled for my husband at the conviction in his words. I moved from my chair to his lap as quickly as I could and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"I love you so much." He grinned at my husky reply while resting his forehead on mine. We would be okay. We would find a way.

A loud bang reverberated through the study as the door flew open and slammed against the wall. If Edward hadn't had a firm grip around my waist, I would have surely fallen off his lap as I jumped in shock from the sudden noise. Peering over Edwards shoulder I saw Esme stood with a hand to her chest just inside the doorway to the study.

She stuttered out her disbelief. "You or the baby?"

She was staring at my abdomen intensely while waiting for a reply. My words were stuck in my throat so I simply nodded knowing she would see the gesture.

Her eyes snapped up to mine and before I knew it I was being lifted off the ground and into her shaking body. She clutched onto me, sobbing tearlessly into my hair. I rubbed her back trying to comfort her as much as possible. After a few minutes she pulled back and muttered out a quick apology. I waved her off and walked back over to Edward. She walked over to her husband and wrapped her arms around his waist. I could hear her muffled words as she pressed herself into Carlisle's embrace.

"I'm going to be a grandma."

I gasped as her words hit home. She was going to be a grandma and Carlisle was going to be a grandpa... What about Charlie?

"What's wrong Bella?" Edward was scanning my features for any sign of pain and growing increasingly worried the longer it took me to formulate my answer.

"What about Charlie? This pregnancy obviously isn't normal if you can see growth already. I should only be three weeks pregnant at the most, maybe less. I can't keep his grandchild from him Edward, I just can't!" Edwards rubbed my back and kissed me gently waiting for me to calm down.

"Can I make a suggestion love?" I nodded to his hesitant words. Any suggestion was better than nothing. "How about for the next few days we monitor your growth and any changes then decide from there. If you do start getting bigger then we could go away for a while until the baby is born. Then when we return with our baby we could say you were pregnant before we were married and just hardly showing." He could see the hesitancy in my face at that plan knowing that there was a good chance I would return as a vampire and be unable to see my father anyway. "Relax love. For now we will just see what happens but there are always options. We will work it all out okay?" Sighing I nodded and snuggled back into his arms again.

Just as I'd started to get comfortable again a loud band sounded from downstairs, followed quickly by Emmett's loud yells. "We're home! Where's our welcome party?"

I tensed up in Edwards arms as I waited for someone to come looking for us. Edward leant down to speak close to my ear. "Jasper can sense our conflicting emotions and has told Alice not to come up here. Emmett on the other hand is adamant we join them in the living room to watch his new dvd. What do you want to do love?"

Knowing there was nothing we could do but wait, I accepted we would be going to watch Emmett's DVD. If we didn't go willingly he would probably come nagging anyway and I really wasn't in the mood for that right now.

"Okay lets go." I stood up from Edward's lap and walked out of the room with his hand clasped tightly in mine.

I could hear Esme and Carlisle walking behind us down the stairs and knew it was because they were worried about Edward and I and not because of Emmett's stupid DVD. As soon as we stepped foot into the room Emmett jumped up from his seat and started walking towards us. "There you are. Come on let's watch Zombieland. It's meant to be really good. Don't worry Bella it's not actually a horror. Come on, sit, sit, sit!"

I snuggled into Edwards side on the love seat as the title screen started rolling. I could feel Jasper's eyes on the both of us but I couldn't find it in me to look away from the screen. Alice kept shooting me curious sideways glances from her seat on Jaspers lap. Even Rosalie looked mildly concerned. Mine and Rosalie's friendship had improved after the wedding and we even had a laugh together every now and then, but we still weren't exactly the closest of friends. Emmett of course seemed totally oblivious to the tension suffocating the room.

As my mind was running over the different ways in which we could tell our siblings, my stomach decided to rumble loudly making seven sets of eyes snap to my face in amusement. My embarrassed smile fell from my face at Emmett's teasing words.

"God Bells what have you got in there?" He laughed at his own joke until he saw my horrified expression.

My back was ramrod straight as I stared at Emmett in shock. Turning my head, I quickly buried my face back into Edwards neck, breathing deeply to calm myself down. The sound from the TV cut off as they all stared at us curiously. I looked up into Edwards eyes in panic and he smiled softly before pulling me fully onto his lap.

As he rubbed my back soothingly, Alice finally became impatient. "What the hell is going on? Bella's gone all fuzzy and you're both acting strange." She paused for a second before snapping her head in Esme's direction. "Esme, you know don't you? It's written all over your face. Carlisle too! Please someone tell us what's going on!"

Edward's hands on my back stopped their massage as he spoke up loudly above my head. "Alice sit down. We have to tell you all something but please calm down." I hoped he didn't think I could tell them because I couldn't have spoken if my life depended on it.

I whimpered as Edward lifted me off his lap and back onto the cushion at his side. I wanted to be as close to him as possible right now. I clung to his side and peered nervously at our family. Edward tilted my head up to look into my eyes. He was asking for permission in that one look and I couldn't refuse him anything. I nodded and rested my cheek against his chest, taking in his calming scent. I could feel my breathing quicken as Edward finally spoke.

"Before I say anything else I need to reassure you that this is not a joke. I would never joke about something like this. I know where your minds will automatically take you and I can assure you that Bella has been 100% faithful to me." They all looked understandably confused by Edward's words, Alice even looked downright outraged.

"Edward Anthony Cullen! We would never think Bella would do something like that! How dare you imply we would think such a thing. Don't you think we would have..."

Edward instantly cut her off with a tone full of annoyance. "Alice would you please let me finish!"

He took some deep breaths calming himself down before kissing the top of my head and finishing our declaration. "Bella is pregnant. With our child."

You could have heard a pin drop the room was that quiet.

I chanced a peek around the room and wanted to laugh at their dumbstruck expressions. I would have had I not been seconds away from hyperventilating and passing out cold.

"Bella love take some deep breaths for me. Come on, yes like that. Well done darling. Shhh It's alright. Everything's alright."

Resting back against his chest I felt exhausted and worn out. As soon as I had gotten something to eat I was going to go and throw myself into our bed. My pillow had never called out to me this much before.

Just as I was considering being rude and leaving the room for bed, a shocking sensation settled in my abdomen. It felt like butterflies dancing around in my belly for a second before stopping altogether. I waited wide eyed for it to happen again.

"Bella what's wrong? What hurts? Please tell.." I cut Edwards words off by placing my hand over his mouth and telling him to shush.

Staring down at my abdomen I prayed it would happen again. That was definitely not hunger pangs.

"Eeee.." I couldn't stop the mini squeal from escaping as I felt the movement again a minute later.

How could the baby be moving already? How far along was I! Without even realising it was happening, silent tears of happiness were rolling down my flushed cheeks. I could feel my goofy smile and didn't care how ridiculous I looked. My baby was moving.

Realising Edward was missing out, I lifted my shirt to below my breasts and ignoring the gasps around the room, pulled Edwards hand onto my stomach. After a few minutes I could tell they were all becoming impatient for answers but I didn't want to answer them right now. I wanted Edward to feel our baby. A minute later a giggle escaped my lips as the butterflies took off again. I turned my watery eyes up to Edward who was staring at his hand on my skin in complete awe.

"Did you f-f-feel that?" I sniffled out my question and rubbed Edwards cheek lovingly.

When his eyes met mine again, he looked almost ready to cry aswell. He broke into a brilliant smile and pulled my face up to his for a passionate kiss. He didn't care that my tears fell on his cheeks or that I refused to let his hand leave my stomach, he only seemed to care about kissing me back. When we broke apart, I turned to the others to share with them our joy. The first person I saw amidst our other family members emotional expressions, was Rosalie standing closer than before with her hand pressed to her mouth with emotion.

Before I could talk myself out of it, I waved her over with a small smile. She looked shocked but walked closer none the less. I peeked up at Edward to see his brilliant smile still in tact so I knew I was doing the right thing. When she was close enough to touch I grabbed her hand and moved it down onto my stomach. She was touching me as though I was made of glass, so I pressed her fingers more firmly into my skin.

When a few minutes had gone by without any movement she started to look heartbroken and depressed. She started muttering to herself like we couldn't hear her.

"Of course the baby wouldn't move for me. Why would it when I treated it's parents so badly. It's going to hate me and I don't blame it. I mean after all.." Before her rambling could carry on I felt the butterflies once again. And by the smile on Rosalie's face she could aswell.

Curiously I moved my own hand down to feel and couldn't feel anything against my palm. Why could I only feel it from the inside when the others could obviously feel it from touch. As if sensing my curiosity Carlisle spoke up from my left side.

"Don't worry dear, we can sense vibrations a lot more clearly than humans. Mothers usually feel movement internally at about 18 weeks but movement externally at around 28 weeks." I nodded before realising what his words would mean.

If I was 18 weeks pregnant after only conceiving two weeks ago, the pregnancy was definitely progressing quicker than we'd thought. We would have to leave Forks... for now.
