Bella's Point of View

Finally, we landed and got out of that piece of tin called a plane. I had been fearful since we started moving. Esme and Carlisle did their best to keep me calm, and eventually, I fell asleep only to be woken up by Carlisle before we landed. I think it will be a while before I go back on a plane though.

While Carlisle went to get the car, Esme and I got our bags—mainly mine—then met up with Carlisle outside to load up the car. Again I got tired a fell asleep in the back seat during our hour long drive from Port Angeles. I woke up when Esme started to shake me gently saying "Welcome home."

I rubbed my groggy eyes so that I could clearly see a huge white mansion that looked to be about over a hundred years old. The dreary rain made everything else seem dark and gloomy, but this place remained beautiful despite the gloom.

I walked into the house and was surprised by the space. It looked big on the outside, but the size of the inside was bigger than I thought. The walls were painted white, but the furniture and art around the room made the room cheery. The back wall was replaced by large window, I wonder if that is continuous throughout the house? Attached to the large window was a banner that read 'welcome home'.

"Do you like your new home dear?" Esme asked, but all I could do was nod in awe.

"Come on; let's get you upstairs to your room so that you can settle in." Carlisle said beginning to carry my luggage upstairs. I felt bad that he was carrying all this up, but they would not let me carry anything heavier than my carry-on bag.

Once all of my three suitcases and my carry-on were upstairs in my new room—which was also beautiful—Esme and I began to unpack.

I couldn't get over how beautiful the room was. I had a queen-size bed with light purple set and different shades of purple pillows decorating it. The walls were painted sky blue which made the room even more cheery. The size of the room was probably twice as large as my old room, and my closet was probably a small room to begin with. The back wall was just a glass window overlooking the forest behind it. I had a sound system and a large bookcase that held all my books with extra room to spare.

Carlisle and Esme were able to get some of my things that the state had been holding onto because of my father's position as chief of police. I found more pictures of my parents and me as a baby. There weren't many things that were saved for me, but these were mementos that I would keep forever.

The unpacking only too about an hour with the three of us working together, but by the end I was ready to drop.

"Bella, why don't you take a nap. The others will be home in a couple of hours and if you want we can go to the boys' first football game tonight. It's up to you though." Esme said while turning down my bed. She was going to force me to sleep, and I wasn't going to disobey her or my body. I was dead on my feet practically.

"Maybe, and thank you for everything." I said lying down on the soft pillows that felt like I was sleeping on air.

"Your welcome, Bella." She kissed my head and then walked out the door leaving me to fall into a deep sleep.

I was suddenly woken up by the sound of a door being crashed shut and someone talking very loudly downstairs.

"Where is she?" A hyper little voice practically screeched. I figured it must be little Alice. She sounded funny acting like a little girl rather than a sixteen year old.

"Mary Alice Cullen, be quiet she's asleep upstairs." Not any more, I wanted to yell but didn't have the energy. I yawned instead and sat up to stretch.

"Sorry mom, I'm just too excited. Will she come to the game tonight? We were wondering if she would and go out to dinner with us afterwards. Can she?" I couldn't help but laugh, Alice sounded so funny. I had to go see her for myself.

"Alice, she is tired from the long journey and would probably like some down time before some major plans are made." Esme scolded.

"But mom, I know she'll have fun and we'll go easy on her. We won't let anything happen to her. I promise." Wow, they really do care about me.

When I got downstairs, Esme was in the kitchen with her arms crossed in front of her standing in front of a girl with short, black, spiky hair and was shorter to me probably not even reaching five foot. There was another girl with her standing quietly by the door with long, golden locks and a body that would make a supermodel jealous. These must be my new sisters.

I walked into the room, but only took a few steps in.

"Hi." I greeted; from the way they were looking at each other, I'm not sure they knew of my presences yet.

"Oh Bella, you're up. I hope Alice didn't wake you from your nap." Esme said.

"It's alright Esme, I could have gone back to sleep, but I got curious." I answered looking down at my feet.

"HI!" Alice squealed running up to me and trapping me in a tight hug. For a little body she sure had some muscles.

"Alice let her go, you're squishing the baby probably." The blonde joked.

"Oops sorry Bella, sorry baby." She said rubbing my stomach which the baby decided to respond by kicking into her hand.

"Whoa, did it just…?"

I nodded my head to answer her question.

"OH!" She squealed again almost hurting my ears.

"Alice, calm down or no sugar for you tonight." The blonde said while walking closer to us.

"Hi, I'm Rosalie." She held out her hand which I grabbed and shook.

"You already know me, and your mom already told me a little about you both." I said nervously. I couldn't help it, I've never seen more beautiful creatures in my life. Compared to them I was plain and dull and fat.

"Can I?" Rosalie asked holding her hand closer to my baby bump. I nodded in reply while my baby kicked in reply.

Rosalie gasped and looked like she was going to cry.

"That has to be the most amazing experience of my life." She said when she composed herself.

"Yeah, it's great. Makes me feel like I'm not alone all the time." I answered with tears coming to my eyes.

"What's wrong?" Alice asked looking worried like she had offended me or something.

"Nothing it's just I cry very easily now a days." I answered trying to push back the tears which worked after a few blinks.

"We'll try to make it so you'll be happy all the time." Alice pledged making me smile and laugh.

"So um… I heard you are going to a game tonight?" I inquired to see if they really wanted me to go.

"Yeah, do you feel up to it?" Rosalie asked.

"I think so. I've never been to a football game before." I admitted.

"Well if you do that's great, but why don't we get you fixed up too. We always go out for dinner just us kids; sound alright to you?" Alice asked.

"Good luck because hardly anything is fitting anymore." I joked.

"Sounds like a shopping trip is in order. We need to get you ready for school too, but oh, are you going to school?" Alice asked.

"I want to so that I can graduate and go to college." I said without hesitation.

"Good for you." Rosalie praised.

"Thanks, but I'm a little nervous about what people would say when they see my little sprout. I'm a proud mother, but…" I trailed off.

"Don't worry, we'll protect you. That's what family does." Alice said jumping up and down.

I felt the tears coming back and did my best to hide them.

"Oh don't cry, I thought we try to make you happy." Rosalie said.

"I am happy, I finally feel loved." I whispered trying to wipe away the tears.

"Great, now come on and we'll get ready for the game tonight." Alice exclaimed grabbing my hand and leading up the stairs.

At first I wasn't really comfortable with Alice and Rosalie helping me dress, but I learned to trust them. They were able to find something from my worn out clothing to make into an outfit perfect for the game; just a blue sweater with a borrowed black skirt with elastic from Esme's closet. Rosalie let me borrow her flat boots that came up to my knees.

For my hair they pulled half of it back into a braid with small curls framing my face. My make up was light, but still highlighted my eyes so they looked more like chocolaty than usual.

I normally didn't get dressed up like this, but they were right about helping me feel good. I didn't feel like a fat teen mom, but a 'hot mama' or so they told me.

"Oh my goodness, Bella, you look stunning." Esme said when we walked downstairs.

"Thanks, and thanks again for the skirt; it's really comfortable." I said blushing from her remark.

"Your welcome, but Alice remember look for comfort rather than fashion when you go shopping."

"Yes mom."

"Alice, you don't have to; not for me."

"But Bella your clothes getting too small for you right now, and I don't know if they can handle going through the washer and dryer anymore."

I was about to argue more, but she did have a point.

"Great now let's go. We don't want to be late, and you still need to meet your new brothers."

We got into Rosalie's BMW which blew my mind out of the water when I saw it along with a huge jeep parked next to it.

"That's Emmett's, I need to tune it up before I allow it to go anywhere; but I've been busy and he hasn't been complaining." I was sensing a double meaning with those words, but decided to drop it.

The drive didn't take too long to get to the school, but it looked dark and scary at night. I only hoped that it didn't look too bad during the daytime even in the rain.

"Welcome to Forks High." Alice announced when we got into the parking lot.

We pulled in beside a shiny silver Volvo and got out. From the few older models that were here, I had a feeling that this car belonged to the Cullen's as well.

"Who's is that?" I asked feeling a little braver about speaking up.

"Edward's, but he doesn't let anyone drive it." Rosalie said rolling her eyes. I almost did the same thing; men and their cars.

As we were walking towards the bleachers, I saw some guys already in their gear talking by the gate near the seats. When they saw us they stopped talking and smiled. I didn't know who they were, but had a feeling that they were my new brothers.

The girls ran up to them leaving me to walk at my normal pace or else I would fall, and I am now even more clumsy than usual since I became pregnant.

When I reached the others they were all smiling at me, making me feel a little awkward because I hate getting attention, but I tried to smile as I felt my blush creeping up my cheeks.

"Hi." I started.

"Hey, you must be Bella." The biggest of them said who had muscles that made him intimidating, but he had on a grin that reassured me he wasn't going to hurt me.

"Yup." I answered shyly.

"I'm Emmett." He extended his hand out and I shook it feeling his muscles, but I'm sure he was trying to be gentle for me.

"I'm Jasper." The other blonde who looked like Rosalie said also extending out his hand for me to grasp. He had muscles just not as big as Emmett, but instead of shaking my hand, he kissed it which, of course, made me blush.

"Always the little brother that's last, I'm Edward." The last said who had beautiful messy bronze hair and stunning green eyes like emeralds. I shook his hand like the others, but he was extra careful unlike his brothers, and I felt a surge of electricity go through out hands when we touched; but we didn't pull away so quickly.

"Here to watch the game?" Emmett asked breaking my eye contact with Edward who wouldn't stop staring at me which was making me blush more.

"What are you staring at?" I asked Edward ignoring Emmett's question.

"You're beautiful when you blush." He answered touching my red cheeks with his fingertips reminding me of the man I wanted to forget.

I stepped back out of his reach, but the look of disappointment, hurt, and confusion was written all over his face. I hated to do it, but I didn't feel comfortable with a man touching me like that.

"Bella, are you alright?" Alice asked me as I was trying to hold back the tears that threatened to spill out. I had to think fast.

"Cullens, come on, game time." A harsh sounding man yelled which made me jump slightly.

I was thankful that the boys were called to the game before I could answer, but they looked at me like I was going to break or something. I think I was about to too.

"See you at half time guys." Rosalie said giving Emmett a kiss on the lips?

I stood there shocked, I've seen the other orphans date each other like I did; but adopted brothers and sisters dating?

They saw my reaction and Alice giggled, "Bella, we aren't actually related; but maybe we could be." I was sensing another double meaning in her words like with Rosalie earlier which was making me slightly uncomfortable.

"Okay, strange." I replied quietly.

"What, didn't you date the others at your foster home?" Jasper asked which struck another nerve.

I couldn't help but look down at my stomach in shame. The tears were really trying to spill, but I pushed them back as best as I could.

"Come one guys, we have a game to win." I heard Edward say, but I did not look up at him or at anyone else until I felt someone hug me.

"It's ok Bella, come one lets find some seats." Alice said still holding me as I let a few tears slide down.

After a few minutes of collecting myself we made our way up to the stands, but we didn't go up very far. I saw the boys looking over at us with love in their eyes towards the girls, but Edward was looking at me with confusion like before and something else that was utterly familiar. I didn't want to think about that because that emotion is what gave me my little one, and I couldn't risk believing if it was true or not. My heart would not be able to handle it again.

The game started and the girls were trying to explain the rules to me, but I wasn't really paying attention until I saw Emmett score first and did his little victory dance joined by Edward and Jasper. I couldn't help but laugh at their antics. Then I started yelling and shouting like the girls did, but after a time out was called my stomach growled.

"Alice, Rosalie, I'm going to go the concession stand for a minute. Want something?" I asked.

"No thanks." They replied.

On my way over to the stand, someone bumped into my shoulder—luckily missing my baby. "Ow." I said.

"Oh sorry, are you ok?" The guy asked. He had greasy black hair and a heavily pimpled face.

"I'm fine." I answered.

"I'm really sorry. I'm Eric by the way."

"Bella Swan."

"Nice to meet you, are you heading to the concession stand?" I nodded, I wasn't comfortable being with a boy alone yet; but I didn't want to seem so rude.

"Um…I would try the hot dogs, they're really good." He said looking down at his feet while he face grew a little pink. I think he was crushing on me, but why? I'm not Alice or Rosalie, and couldn't he see that I am pregnant?

"Thanks, but I'd better go or my friends will be missing me." I said then moved away from him and the concession stand ignoring my baby's and mine need until later.

"Sorry little one." I cooed to my stomach.

As I made my way back to the bleachers the band started to play. I'm guessing it was half-time already. I found Alice and Rosalie leaning by the chain-linked fence talking to the guys who were sweating pretty hard. I took a deep breath and walked up to them with a smile on my face.

I was getting closer to the group when someone grabbed my shoulder. I gasped out loud when I pulled out of the hand that caught me.

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you. I just noticed you walking by and had to introduce myself to you. I'm Mike…Mike Newton." A blonde boy with a baby face said smiling at me, but I didn't trust him from the look on his face.

"Hi, I'm Bella. Excuse me." I tried walking away from him, but he grabbed my shoulder again and pulled me back to him.

"Please don't run, I just wanted to talk to you." He tried to sound nice, but I was starting to get scared.

"Please let go, you're hurting me." I said quietly, but I knew he heard me. His grip released a bit giving me the chance to move quickly away from him.

"Hey!" I heard him yell after me, but I kept moving as fast as I could. Then I felt his hand on my shoulder again pinning me against the fence in between us.

"I said I wanted to talk and we will, got that?" He asked through his teeth.

Tears were falling down my face from the fear that I had that he was going to hurt me or my baby, and he wouldn't even know it.

"Please let go. You're hurting me." I said trying to struggle under his grip, but he was too strong.

"I don't want to, and you seem to want it." He whispered in my ear causing me the flinch.

His hand holding shoulder started to move down my arm while his other held my neck pushing me against the fence even more preventing me from trying to move away again. Tears were still coming down my face, but I was too scared to move.

His fingers trailed back up my arm and were about to go down my chest when a whistle was blown.

Mike kissed where his fingers left off, "I'll finish what I've started later, my pet."

He left me there too frightened to even move. Tears were still coming my face as I tried to calm myself down, but I couldn't go back to Alice and Rosalie. I didn't want them to see my shame. The wall that I had built to protect myself had fallen when I fell for the Cullens, I needed my wall to come back up to protect me and my baby.

I went back to the bleachers when I calmed down enough, but sat in the corner on the first bench and stared out at the field not really noticing anything.

I felt the bleachers near me moving and assumed it was Rosalie and Alice, but I didn't move a muscle. My wall was back up.

"Bella, what are you doing down here?" Rosalie asked.

I said nothing.

"Bella, are you ok?" Alice asked, but I stayed quiet.

"Bella, talk to us. Did something happen?" Rosalie was fishing for information, but I stayed perfectly quiet.

I heard them both sigh in defeat and they made themselves comfortable around me.

For the rest of the game, I didn't pay attention to anything. Only to the surroundings that affected me. Rosalie and Alice didn't say anything further to get me to talk and would cheer from time to time, but not in the way they did earlier. When the game finally ended, the girls made no move whatsoever, so I figured they were waiting for the boys. I was not looking forward to it.

"Hey, there are my favorite girls." Emmett yelled running up to us, but stopped abruptly when he saw me causing the others to run into him.

"Geez, Em what's the hold up?" Edward asked.

When he and Jasper looked around Emmett they were looking at me. My face was still wet from the tears and unreadable because I wasn't feeling anything. Hardly even the small kicks my baby was giving me.

Edward knelt down so that he was eye-level with me, but I didn't look into his eyes or else I would get lost in them.

"Bella, come on, tell us what's going on? Did someone hurt you?" He asked trying to take my hand in his, but it fell limp in his light grasp.

"Bella, what you're feeling is not good for the baby. You don't have to tell us what happened just please come back to us Bella. This is scaring us." Rosalie whispered in my ear the way Mike Newton had making me push away from her.

I pulled my hand away from Edward then got up and left. I heard them walking behind me, but they didn't come very close to me. In the parking lot, I was getting close to Rosalie's car, but stopped dead in my tracks when I saw Mike coming towards me with a sinister smile on his face.

"Hello Bella." He said when he was close enough.

My breathing hitched as he walked closer, and my body was beginning to shake.

When he was five feet away I heard the others walking closer.

"What are you doing, Newton; get away from her." Emmett growled.

"I didn't do anything guys. I was just being nice to her." He lied.

"Then why is she shaking and looks like she's about to pass out?" Alice scowled next.

"Maybe she's cold and forgot to eat something." He lied again.

"Why am I not believing you?" Edward asked.

"Come on guys, you know me. I wouldn't hurt her, right Bella?" I stayed frozen out of fear and for the fact that I didn't want to be part of this.

"Mike, you did do something to her. Tell us and we won't beat into the ground." Jasper hissed.

"I didn't do anything I swear." Mike persisted.

Emmett walked right up to Mike and grabbed him by his shirt hoisting him up so that he was up on his toes.

"You have till the count of five to tell us or I'm going to rearrange your face." He threatened.

I couldn't believe that my family were about to get into a fight over me. I've never had someone do this for me before.

"Emmett, put him down," I said and everyone stood still looking at me including Mike and Emmett, "Please Emmett."

Emmett's face softened as he lowered Mike to the ground and pushed him away which almost made Mike fall down.

"Get out of here, Mike." Emmett said.

Mike wasted no time running back to his car leaving the others to stare at me like I had two heads, but I looked down at my feet avoiding their expressions.

"Why don't you girls go home and we'll pick up some pizza for dinner." Edward said breaking the silence.

I assumed they all nodded because I didn't hear their reply. Rose was the one who gently led me towards her car while I heard the others following. Emmett walked ahead of us to open the back door for me first then for Rose when I was in. I kept my eyes on my feet even in the car. By now the tears had stopped, but I was starting to feel tired and yet I pushed it away because I didn't want to ruin anyone's fun.

I got out of the car when we got home and went inside before the others got out of the car.

"Hey, I thought you were going out for dinner after the game?" Esme asked when we walked into the kitchen from the garage.

"We decided to order in," Alice explained, "The boys are picking up the pizzas right now."

"I see," Esme replied, "Bella, are you alright?"

I made my way past her forcing a little smile and a nod heading upstairs to my room. Once I closed the door, I took off my shoes and coat then went into the bathroom for a hot shower. While the water was running down my face I let the tears fall. I stayed as quiet as possible so not to worry anyone and eventually, I felt a lot better. Maybe my hormones were the main problem.

I shut off the water and went back into my room to put on a pair of pajamas and tank top since I was too warm at the moment.

I hated the thought of going to bed now instead of going down and seeing everyone to tell them I was alright until I looked in the mirror. My face looked a lot better, but the bruises from when Mike held onto me were starting to show. I pulled on my sweatshirt and decided to walk downstairs; I was hungry anyways.

Edward's Point of View

During our drive to the pizza place, I couldn't stop thinking about Bella. She was beautiful; her picture did not do her justice. She looked quiet but brave; soft, yet firm. Probably something she picked up from living in foster homes for years, and when she found out she was pregnant. About that too, she didn't seem ashamed about being a pregnant teenager. She's timid, but is trying to face her demons. What a woman! But what happened to her?

When we met her she was quiet, but seemed to take off with us from the start; maybe I was wrong or maybe she's more complex than that.

"What do you guys think of Bella?" I asked out of curiosity.

"I liked her when we met, but what was that whole thing about shutting down like that after the game?" Emmett answered first.

"I still think Mike did something to her and she's ashamed to tell us. That could be a reason how she got pregnant in the first place." Jasper speculated.

"Like a rape victim?" Emmett asked.

"We don't know that for sure. It could have been a mistake or miscommunication with her last boyfriend." I answered not really liking my answer; who would walk away from her in the first place?

"I don't think so, Edward, or at least I hope not. I don't like the idea of a guy running away from his girl after they had sex and unprotected too." Jasper said. I had to agree with him.

We got to the pizza place and ordered three large pizzas with different toppings because we all liked different things. Then headed back to the house.

Before we got out of the car I turned to the others. "Jazz, Em, let's not interrogate Bella tonight. We need her to open up to us when she feels ready not on her first night with us." The nodded in agreement.

When we got into the house Jasper and I set the pizzas on the counter while Emmett went to get the girls.

"Hello pretty ladies." He said from the living room.

"Hey baby." Rose purred. Jasper and I gagged.

"Hi." Alice squealed and then ran into the kitchen where she jumped onto Jasper for a hug.

"Hey." He replied chuckling giving her a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Hi Emmett." I heard Bella say then walked into the kitchen with Rose and Emmett behind her.

"Hi guys." She greeted Jasper and me.

"Hey Bella? Feeling better?" Jasper asked and I smacked his arm reminding him of our plan.

"Uh, yeah thanks. I'm sorry if I ruined your night." She replied while blushing which was the cutest thing I had ever seen.

"Don't be silly, besides it's always crowded in almost every single restaurant after a game." Alice replied.

Bella smiled again and with the blush she looked even more beautiful. How is that possible?

"Can we please eat before the pizza gets cold?" Emmett whined which earned a head smacking from Rosalie.

"What?" He asked.

"Ok, but ladies first. You always take too much Emmett and don't leave any for the rest of us if we let you go first." Jasper said.

"I'll get the plates, where are they?" Bella asked.

"In that cupboard." Alice answered getting out the silverware.

Bella found the right cupboard, but they looked too high for her.

"Bella, do you need help?" I asked.

"No thanks just let me get a chair." She answered getting a chair from the kitchen table.

"Bella, no. Emmett, get the plates for her," mom ordered walking into the room, "You do not need to get up on chairs when there are people who can help you."

"But Esme, I'm ok. I've done it since I've been pregnant." She argued, but widened her eyes and looked over at us as if this was news to us guys.

"I uh…"She started, but Jasper cut her off.

"It's ok Bella, we all know about the baby."

"And you're ok with it?"

"DUH! I can't wait for this little guy to come out so we can play football, basketball…" Emmett had been getting too excited about playing with the baby.

"Maybe soccer from they way its kicking my organs out of place right now." Bella joked rubbing her stomach.

"He's kicking?" Emmett asked.

She smiled while nodding and glowed. She looked so happy to be a mom.

"Do you want to feel?" She asked.

"HELL YEAH!" Emmett yelled running up to her.

She took his missive hand and put it on the little bump that was not really noticeable under the large sweatshirt she was wearing.

From the look on Emmett's face, he felt the baby move.

"Dang girl, this kid is going to be a sports star." He exclaimed excitedly.

"Yeah, do you guys want to feel?" She asked looking at me and Jasper.

We both were a bit more hesitate before walking over to her. Emmett moved away when we were close enough and she put both our hands on her belly. Feeling the baby move was exciting. I couldn't get over that there was a baby in this gorgeous creature.

"Emmett was right, you should get this kid on our football team." Jasper joked and Bella laughed along with us.

We felt something else coming from her stomach, but it wasn't the baby.

"I think mama is hungry." I said taking my hand off her belly. She was already blushing when her stomach grumbled.

"Yeah, what kind of pizza did you guys get?" She asked walking up to the boxes.

"Looks like pepperoni and mushrooms, ham and pineapple, and green pepper and onions with extra cheese. Pick what you want." Alice announced.

Bella's Point of View

"Pick what you want." Alice said.

I walked up and grabbed a plate from the stack that Emmett got from the cupboard. I wanted to feel useful, but Esme thought I was risking myself and my baby if I got up on a chair. I swallowed my pride and didn't continue to argue with her, although, I'm pretty sure she would have said the same thing when she was pregnant. Still I didn't want to push, I was still new and they are watching over me.

I walked over to the open pizza boxes, they all looked so good; but then a smell was making me feel horrible.

"Bella, are you ok; you look a little green." Rosalie asked.

Before I could answer, Esme grabbed me carefully and pulled me away. "Sit down and take deep breaths through your mouth." She said sitting me down at the kitchen table.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Edward asked concerned.

I focused more on my breath and keeping the nausea down rather than feeling embarrassed for what just happened.

"I think the smell of the onions is making her nauseas. That use to happen to me." Esme answered.

"Hello, I'm home." Carlisle called walking in from the garage.

"Hi dad." Everyone greeted even me; although, I said it kind of weakly.

"Bella, are you feeling alright?" He asked.

I continued to breathe because my nausea still hadn't pass all the way and I didn't want to take any chances.

"It's the onions on the pizza. Bella, why don't you go into the living room and rest and I'll bring you out some saltines to snack on. They'll help with the nausea." Esme said.

I nodded my head and got up slowly with the help of Esme.

"Here we are. Lie down and rest honey." She said while seating me on the couch.

"Thanks." I replied while lying down.

When she left, the others came in with their food on plates. Jasper sat on the other side of the room from me with an apologizing smile on his face. I assumed because he likes green pepper and onions too.

"Jasper, don't worry about me. I'm alright, but you'll probably be sick with some of the things that I get cravings for." I smiled.

"Like what?" Emmett asked with his mouth full of food which was probably half a slice of pizza if not the whole slice.

"Emmett, wait until your mouth is empty before talking." Esme scolded walking back into the room with saltine crackers and a glass of water for me.

"Thanks Esme." I said grabbing a cracker then feeling someone picking up my feet and putting them down again on their lap.

"Hey." I protested.

"There was no where else to sit, and I don't mind if you don't." Edward replied with a smirk.

"Fine," I said, "Just don't tickle."

An evil glint came into his eye after he took a bite of his pizza.

"You are ticklish?"

I tried to pull me feet back, but he grabbed them both with one hand while setting his plate on the floor.

"I'm not going to hurt you."

"No, you're going to tickle and that's worst."

"No, it's more fun." With that he started to tickle my feet and I was powerless to get my feet away.

"Rose, Alice, Esme help." I said through my laughter only to find the other men holding down the women.

Luckily, my baby decided to help mama except it hurt causing me to hiss in pain which everyone noticed.

"Bella, what happened?" Carlisle asked coming to my side in doctor mode.

Edward stopped when he heard me and helped me sit up slowly.

"Bella?" Carlisle repeated.

"The baby just gave a big kick. I guess he/she didn't like someone hurting their mama; Edward." I glared at him.

Carlisle rubbed my stomach where the baby kicked and smiled. "I think that's enough rough housing for awhile." He said and everyone settled down.

I didn't lie back down, but I felt my stomach growl again. I started to get up and Edward was suddenly in front of me with his arms stretched out to help.

"Thanks." I said after I was up.

"Where are you going?" Rosalie asked.

"The baby's hungry and so am I." I replied heading towards the kitchen with someone following me.

"Edward, I don't need a body guard. Go sit, I'll be fine I swear." I said turning around to glare at him, but he was smiling a crooked smile that made my glare impossible to keep.

"I wanted seconds." He answered holding up his empty plate.

I rolled my eyes at him, but bit my lower lip when he couldn't see my face.

I grabbed a plate off from the counter and opened a lid of pizza. Thankfully it was the pineapple and ham, but I suddenly got a huge craving for something extra.

"Edward, do we have any chocolate syrup?" I asked.

He looked at me confused but opened the refrigerator and pulled out the chocolate syrup. I couldn't help licking my lips at the sight, but got a dirty thought of using it on Edward and licking it off of him. Whoa, where did that come from?

"Thanks." I blushed from my previous thought and took the bottle from him.

He looked at me disgusted when he realized what I was going to do. "What? I wanted something sweet, fruity, and chocolaty." I replied to his unanswered question.

His face went back to being confused, but he shook his head when he got the idea. I had to laugh at his face and walked back to the living room with my dinner. There I got more stares from everyone except Esme. I think she understood above them all.

"Bella, how could you eat that?" Alice asked making a face that made me laugh again.

I took a bite not wanting to hold back satisfying my craving. "Mmmm." Was all I could say.

"Ok, now I don't think I could eat that." Emmett said.

"I remember how good that tasted when I was pregnant with you three. I think I'll get some of my own." Esme replied getting up with her plate while everyone looked at her in disbelieve even her husband.

"Mom, that's disgusting." Alice whined.

"Actually Alice, it's really satisfying. You should see some of my other cravings and I'm only half way through this pregnancy." I said after finishing the first piece. I must have been really hungry for eating it so quickly.

Esme walked in with a plate a pizza with chocolate syrup dribbled all over it then sat in her seat next to Carlisle who was trying not to look at her plate. I gave a giggle and Esme winked back at me.

About 30 minutes later I couldn't control a yawn, although, I was so tired by that time that I'm surprised that my eyes were open.

"Bella, I think it's time you went to bed, young lady." Esme said in a motherly voice that also sounded a little sarcastic.

I couldn't say anything because a yawn escaped me. "I guess you're right." I agreed trying to get up, but Edward stood in front of me waiting to help with a smile on his face.

I tried to get up on my own, but failed miserably. I heard everyone else trying to stifle their laughs even Edward.

"Hey, you try having a baby in your midsection holding you down." I said raising an eyebrow.

I took Edward's hands and pulled myself up. When I touched him, I felt electricity go through my body starting at my hands where we touched. I pulled my hands away and blushed then noticed he was too a little which made me realize that he felt it too.

"Come on Bella, you need to go to sleep so that tomorrow we can go shopping." Alice exclaimed practically jumping out of her seat.

I groaned at the thought and Alice crossed her arms when I did.

"What, I don't really go shopping or like it very much." I admitted.

"You really shouldn't have said that." Edward whispered in my ear which made me shiver from his breath tickling my skin; both in a good and scary way.

"YOU DON'T!" Alice yelled.

"Alice, calm down honey. We will go shopping tomorrow, but we will keep it light. Sound fair to you two?" Esme asked.

I suppressed a groan because from the look on Alice's face told me that she was a shopoholic and from the way she is naturally hyper told me that Esme's proposal was the best offer I would get.

"Deal." I answered.

"Same here." Alice said with a pout.

"Ok, I think it's time to get the baby sister to bed before she collapses on the floor." Emmett joked.

"Yeah, and I have a feeling I need a lot of strength for tomorrow." I joked back.

After a round of goodnights I made it upstairs to bed. By now I was starting to sweat from my sweatshirt that I decided to take it off. When I did, I looked in the mirror to see how the bruises were. They were huge, but nothing that I couldn't hide under my shirts.

I got under the covers not really knowing how exhausted I was until I laid down, but today was a busy day for me both mentally and physically. I got a new family who clearly loves both me and my baby, but there are people who want to hurt me going to the same school I'll be going to. I don't want anyone getting hurt over me, but what am I to do about this? I figure that I will wait and take this step by step. There is no need to overwhelm myself and my baby.

"Goodnight sprout." I whispered to my child who gave me a small kick in reply, "I love you too."

I fell asleep with a smile on my face and to the sound of Debussy playing softly on my stereo.
