I'm back. I tried to write what happens next over the past few days. I knew what I wanted to happen but I didn't know how to get there. Finally, I'm out of my semi-writer's block.

"It'll be fine." He whispered, taking my hand.
As soon as we got closer to the house, Charlie put his arm around my shoulder.
We all went inside and into the living room. Edward and I sat on the couch while Charlie sat in the chair across from us.
It was silent until I asked, "What happened, dad?"
"Apparently, a sophomore held a junior at gun-point. Thankfully no one was hurt, though." He said. "Then he went crazy and started shooting at lockers, rooms, basically anything. Then he held himself hostage in an empty classroom."
"Thankfully you weren't hurt." Edward whispered in my ear, though Charlie could hear it.
He looked suspiciously at Edward's arm around my waist.
I cleared my throat. "So dad …what did you want to talk to Edward about?"
He opened his mouth to speak, but the door bell rang. I was about to get up and answer the door, but Charlie told me to sit back down. After a few seconds, Charlie called, "Edward!"
"Yes, sir." Edward said, walking towards the door.
"Your family is here." He said.
Edward and Charlie came back into the living room, followed by Esme, Carlisle, Emmett, Alice, Jasper, and Rosalie. Since there wasn't enough room for everyone to sit down, I had to sit on Edward's lap. The rest of his family filed in and sat down.
The first one to speak was Jasper. "Alice, why are we here?"
"She didn't even tell you guys why she brought you here?" I asked.
They all shook their heads.
"Well, Eddie knows why, of course." Emmett said.
Edward growled at Emmett from under me. I put a hand on his shoulder.
"Edward." I scolded.
"I'll be good." He whispered.
Emmett chuckled, which only resulted in Esme smacking him.
Carlisle was brave enough to speak up. "So, Charlie …do you know why we're here?"
"Actually, I do." Charlie said.
"Well." Carlisle urged.
"I think Bella and Edward should tell you." He said.
Everyone turned to face Edward and I.
"You can do it." I whispered to Edward. Hopefully it was low enough so that only he could hear it.
He took a deep breath. I could tell that he was nervous, too. And he seemed to be having trouble wording what he was going to say.
He took another deep breath. Before he started, I buried my face into his chest.
"Bella …is." Another deep breath. "…Bella is …pregnant."
Carlisle, Esme, and Rosalie gasped. Alice squealed. Jasper was trying to calm Alice down. And Emmett was howling with laughter. Luckily Emmett wasn't near Edward. If he was, he would have gotten hurt.
I scowled at him.
"I'll be good." Edward repeated.
"You better." I whispered. "Or Esme will make you be nice to Emmett."
Edward groaned.
"I have to go to the bathroom." I whispered.
"Do you want me to go with you?" He asked.
"No." I said.
"Ok." He said. "Go then."
"Um, I would, but you won't let me go." I said.
His arms were still wrapped around my stomach.
"Oh, sorry." He whispered. He loosened his grip.
But what if they said something while I was gone? If Edward came upstairs with me, he'd still be able to hear what they were talking about.
"Come with me." I whispered.
"Ok." He said.
We both got up and headed for the stairs.
"Where are you going, Bells?" Charlie asked.
"The bathroom." I said.
"But why is he coming with you?" He asked, pointing a finger at Edward.
"Dad!" I groaned. "I'm already pregnant."
"Fine." He said.
We continued to go upstairs.
~Apov~
YAY! Edward is gonna be a father! Rose and I are gonna be aunts! Emmett and Jazzy are gonna be uncles! Carlisle and Esme are gonna be grandparents! YAY! And Charlie, too!! And Renee is gonna be a grandma! YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY!

"Are you done?" I asked.
Bella was taking a long time in the bathroom.
"Bella?" I called.
She didn't answer.
"Bella, can I come in?" I asked.
"…Y-yes." She whispered.
When I went in, she was crouched over the toilet. I went over to her and held her hair back.
"Are you ok?" I asked as soon as she was done.
"Yeah." She said.
"Let's go back downstairs." I said.
"Ok." She said.
~Bpov~
We went downstairs and took our seats back on the couch.
"Congratulations, you guys!" Esme said, giving Edward and I hugs.
"Thanks, Esme." I said.
"So, how far along are you?" She asked.
"About two months." I said.
"When you find out what you're having, you have to tell us." She said.
"And you have to let me throw your baby shower." Alice cut in.
"Ok, Alice." I said. "It'll be a while before then, though."
"I know, I know." She said. "Just promise me I can manage it, and buy all of the baby's clothes." She was all for begging.
"If I say yes, will you leave me alone?" I asked.
She nodded. "Absolutely."
"Then yes." I said.
"Oh, and what took you guys so long to come back down here?" She asked.
"Morning sickness, Alice." I said.
"Oh." She said. "It sucks, doesn't it."
I nodded. "It's terrible."
"So, do you have a name yet?" Esme asked.
I nodded, but Edward spoke for me.
"She was thinking maybe Alexis for a girl." He said.
"That's beautiful." She said. "But what about a boy?"
"We're not sure." Edward said.
"How about Edward?" She asked.
"Maybe." I said, resting my head on Edward's lap.
"Tired?" Edward whispered.
I yawned.
"I'll take that as a yes."
I didn't hear Charlie say anything about Edward carrying me upstairs. All I could remember was Edward putting me to bed.
How was it?
Review! And I'll update soon. The next chapter might be Halloween.
