Summary: (1 Year later). Edward and Bella have now graduated from school, and have their own place, so now they can finally be a proper family with Caleb. Bella falls pregnant again and finds out that Lauren Mallory has started work at Edward's office. Will it be a happy ending, or will Lauren separate them once more? All Human.

Well I'm back at school, which means homework and 5 hours+ away from a computer, so don't expect quick updates like I had with 'Breath'.

However, today was a snow day, which equaled no school, so I had spare time to write this chapter.

This is set a week or so later. S'got Jacob in it now :)

Chapter 3:
Edward P.O.V

I was on cloud nine when I found out Bella was pregnant again. We'd told Caleb, we think he knew what we were talking about because he squealed and clapped his hands like he usually does whenever he's happy.

Of course, Bella was going to be giving up work in a few months time, so I was working overtime.

But the downside of work now, was Lauren. She was at the desk opposite to me and it creeped me out, when she first arrived, it didn't believe it. But when I saw her face to face, it scared the hell out of me.

----

"Edward, you coming for a drink after work?" Danny asked me. He was the closest friend I had at the office.

"Maybe, I want to be at home with Bella," I answered. "Since she's pregnant and all."

"Oh congratulations, man." He smiled.

"Thanks."

I leaned back in my chair to relax. Suddenly I got an IM, from Lauren.

Hi Edward. I overheard Bella was pregnant again. Lauren.

I sighed and typed back.

Yes. What's it to you anyway?

She replied back quickly.

Just want to say congratulations, to you anyway.

I didn't bother replying back, she'd already split me and Bella up once already, and I want to be there for her this time. I stood up and went to the coffee machine, but felt a hand on my shoulder, it was Lauren.

"What do you want?" I whispered.

"You know what I want."

"Lauren, I have a family with Bella now," I began, she frowned, but then pouted. "Don't give me that look. You and I will never work, so drop it."

I walked away back to my desk and slouched into it, sipping my coffee slowly.

Bella P.O.V

"Ma-Ma-" Caleb attempted to say. But he gave up, clapped and giggled.

"Oh you little monster." I lifted him up, "You don't have to grow up yet." I kissed him and put him on his play mat again.

I went into the kitchen and got out a bag of strawberries that I'd bought, and sat down on the couch. Alice was right - definite craving! I was just about to take another bite of one when the door bell rang. I put the bag down and went to the door.

"Jake!" I exclaimed, hugging him.

Jacob chuckled. "Hi Bella." He hugged me back.

"Oh, it's so good to see you, come in." I offered.

He stepped in and went into the living room. Caleb had somehow got to the strawberries and had began eating one - well, if you count it being dribbled down his t-shirt. Jake lifted him up and tickled him,

"Hey C-Man!" He said, Caleb laughed.

Jake put him down and sat next to me on the couch.

"We need to catch up, so, how have you been?" He asked.

"Um... well, throwing up, eating strawberries..." His face turned concerned,

"Are you sick?" He asked, putting his hand on my forehead.

"No, no." I said, lowering his hand. "I'm pregnant, again." I smiled. This time, I didn't know what to expect from him.

"Pregnant?" He repeated, I nodded. "That's... that's great, Bella. Congratulations." He smiled, I hugged him again.

"You're not... mad are you?" I asked cautiously, he scoffed.

"Mad? Why would I be mad?"

"I don't know, because I'm with Edward again." I shrugged.

"Oh, Bella. I'm not mad at all, I'm happy for you." His smile grew larger, which made me feel a lot better.

"Thanks, Jake." I smiled.

"Does um... Edward know about it this time?" He joked.

"Of course he does." I chuckled.

He slid off the couch and went to play with Caleb, handing me back my strawberries. I suddenly felt a cold sweat set, I threw my hand over my mouth and ran for the sink.

"Bella?" Jake asked, his voice had the concerned tone to it again.

"Sorry, I ju-" I threw up again, into the sink.

I felt Jake pull my hair back. When I'd done, he hugged me tightly. "Sorry you had to see that." I mumbled to him, he chuckled.

"Relax, Bells." He whispered.

Not much of a cliff hanger really, but oh well. Next chapter is set a few months later, don't know how many yet thought.

Review, maybe?
