Hey guys. Sorry its taken me so long to update! I've been swamped with homework and other crap to do. I would have updated yesterday but my mom got hurt and so I had to do the Turkey day dinner, and I was so tired afterwards. But anways here's another chapter!
Chapter 3
When Rose and Alice had finished drying my hair they decided that my hair was getting rather long and it was about time for a hair cut, since it was down to my hips. They took about 4 inches off of it and now it sits right below my bust. Rose insisted that they give me layers so that my hair didn't look as flat, and of course I agreed.
"OH MY GOD! We should so put some highlights and lowlights into your hair Bella! It'll look amazing!" Alice said trimming up some of my bangs and small pieces of hair so that when they put it up hair would frame my face.
"Good Idea! I'll call Julie and have her come right over!" Rosalie said grabbing her phone and holding down 6 on the speed dial format.
"Psst. Alice? Whose Julie?" I asked scared and confused.
"Oh, yea you haven't met her yet have you? Well she's the person that does mine and Rose's hair for us." She said pulling up a chair next to me.
After a few minutes, Rosalie returned with a smile and told us Julie would be right over.
"Hey Bella?" Rosalie asked as she sat on floor next to Alice and me.
"Yea Rosalie? Is there something wrong?" I was concerned now because of the look Rose had on her face.
"Aren't you scared about being pregnant? I mean being a newly married couple and everything…I know you and Edward are a great couple but children often tear relationships apart." Rosalie said sincerely.
"I know Rosalie. I'm worried about what Renee, especially, will say and everything. But I'm pretty scared about being pregnant." I said looking at her and I couldn't help but hug her. After we talked for about an hour we heard the doorbell and Rosalie ran to go meet Julie.
"Hey Alice! How are you and Jazz doing?" she said hugging Alice and she replied they were going strong as ever the she stopped and stared at me for a moment, confused on who I was.
"Julie, this is Bella, Bella this is Julie." Rosalie introduced. Julie and I shook hands and said 'Hello' when she noticed my wedding ring.
"Oh my! That is a BEAUTIFUL ring! Who gave it to you?" she said holding my hand so she could examine it better.
"Edward did. We actually just got back from our honeymoon not that long ago." I said smiling at the memory of Edward on our wedding day.
"Oh. I was not aware Edward had gotten married. Well congratulations. Well he definitely married a beautiful woman." Julie said smiling at me sweetly.
I nodded my head in thanks when Alice started tapping her foot impatiently signaling us she wanted to get to work. About an hour my hair was covered in tin foil so the dye could soak into my hair. Alice and Rosalie decided to get some highlights to, Rosalie just got some natural looking ones and Alice got some medium brown put into her hair.
"So, Bella? How long have you and Edward been together?" Julie asked ask she checked the time on the clock.
"We've been together since our junior year so about…3 years or so." I said as she was taking out the tin foil so I could go wash out the hair dye.
When I had stripped down and had gotten in the scalding water, I started thinking of the one person who I haven't seen since the wedding, Jacob. As I was scrubbing the dye out until the water ran clear, I started wonder 'What's Jacob going to say?', 'How's he going to react to the fact the Edward and I are having a baby and its Edward's?', after I was sure I had taken long enough I got out and wrapped a towel around my head and got dressed.
I decided I would go down to La Push next time Edward went to hunt. I mean, I know Edward hates when I go to see Jacob, because he's a werewolf and he's dangerous, but Jacob will still ALWAYS be my best friend.
"Bella? Bella!" Alice shouted at me. I realized I was looking at the window during the duration of my thoughts.
"Yea Alice?" I told my little pixie sister-in-law, who still had a bunch of tin foil in her hair.
"What's wrong? You've been staring out of the window for like five minutes now! Do you miss Eddie?" She asked she got closer to me and wrapping her arms, around me.
"Yea. I mean I'm used to him having to leave to go hunt and everything but I still miss him like crazy! And I'm just worried that he'll leave and then not come back, and now that I'm pregnant I'm not sure how much I could handle!" I cried. 'Jeez' I thought 'I'm really emotional! Ugh. 9 months of this could really drive me completely NUTS!'
"Bella. Calm Down! Edward's never going to leave you. Especially if your pregnant with HIS kid." Alice said hugging me tighter and letting me cry into her shoulder.
After crying for what seemed like forever, I finally decided to go to bed. I went to sleep rather quickly, probably because I cried my eyes out, which for some reason always makes you tired. I woke up screaming my head off and cried into my pillow.
I've been having the same reoccuring nightmare ever since me and Edward have gotten married and every night it's the same thing but I always have my Adonis, to kiss and soothe the nightmares away but he wasn't there.
It wasn't very long after I had stop screaming that I heard someone knocking. "You guys don't have to knock you know, when Edward's not here." I said, hoarsely.
"Well, how am I supposed to know that, Little Sis? I don't have any special qualities like Alice, Jazz or Eddie-kins." Emmett said opening the door, with his hand covering his eyes.
"Emmett, I have clothes on. You don't have to cover your eyes." I told him while trying to fight a chuckle, for some reason.
"Bella, we heard you screaming. Are you ok Sweetie?" Esme said as she pushed passed Emmett, to see how I was doing.
"Yea, I'm fine Esme. Just had another nightmare. Sorry for scaring you." I told Esme apologeticly.
"It's quite all right Bella. Just as long as your ok. Good night Bella." Esme said as she kissed my forehead and shooed everyone out so I could go back to sleep.
I looked at the clock and saw that it was only about 2:30 in the morning. Definitely to early to get up. I quickly got up and ran to the bathroom only to empty the little I had in my stomach from dinner. Ever since I had gotten pregnant, it was really hard to keep things down. I was only about a month and a half pregnant according to Carlisie and of course I wasn't going to go against him, I mean he is the doctor.
After about five minutes in the bathroom, I decided to go rinse my mouth out and then I walked downstairs, carefully, to try and find some crackers or something to calm my stomach. When I walked into the kitchen, I noticed Rosalie sitting at the table reading some sort of a book while sipping a cup of coffee.
"Hey Bella. You ok?" Rosalie asked me as I walked into the kitchen and sat down across from her.
"As ok as you can be while being pregnant. Aren't you only supposed to get Morning sickness during the day night, NOT the night?" I asked resting my head on the table, which apparently made her giggle at my comment.
"You would think. But technically, it IS the morning." Rosalie said setting her book down and took a drink of her coffee. Ever since the wedding, Rosalie has been a lot nicer to me and I like it, we're becoming close friends but we're not as close as Alice and I.
I groaned after Rosalie had said that and that really made her laugh. Right after that Alice came boucing down the stairs.
"Bella, why are you down here? Shouldn't you be sleeping?" she asked as she went to go grab a cup of coffee for herself.
"I couldn't sleep and the I puked up my whole stomach. So I cam down here to get some food but that never happened."I said giggling at the end. We all started laughing, when Emmett came in because he was wearing what looked like a fairy princess costume.
"Guys!!! Oh my god. I'm ready for Halloween!!!!!!" He shouted holding up a plastic pumpkin bucket, which made us double over in laughter.
When I had finally stopped laughing, I was on the floor clutching my sides. "Uhm. I love you and all but you're an Idiot. You still have another 2 months to wait for Halloween and why do you want to trick-or-treat anyways? You don't eat candy. Or anything for that matter." I said getting off the floor and walking over to the fridge to take a look at what was inside.
"SO? Doesn't mean I cant go have fun anyways. Even if I did go Rosie wouldn't let me eat any of it, because she says I go completely crazy and annoy her." He said shuddering probably at a memory of the last time he had Halloween candy.
I laughed and told him okay when I found some Jell-o which I should hopefully be able to keep down. I ate that and a bowl of cereal and decided to try to get some sleep.
When I walked up to mine and Edward's room, I looked at the clock and saw that it said 3:15 in the morning and I knew Edward wouldn't be back until at least 8 which gave me about 5 hours to kill. Before I tried to go back to sleep I decided to brush my teeth and then check my email really fast on the laptop. I had 7 messages and 6 of the 7 were from Renee.
Almost all of the emails were the same. She was asking about how my Honeymoon went and where we went, and by the looks of it she was getting more anxious by the email, I laughed and wrote her a small reply that should shut her up for the moment and then I opened the other email which was from Jacob.
Hey Bells,
I really miss talking to you, you know? We were best friends and I really miss that. I hope you and Edward had a nice time, Where did you guys go anyways for the Honeymoon? No, I'm not asking for the dirty details *shudder* but I would like to know where you guys went.
Uhm. Billy had a heart attack but he's fine. We've been spending a lot of time with Charlie since then, because he worries like crazy but it all works out. I definitely miss your cooking. We're going to La Push tomorrow for a few hours then we're going back up. Maybe we could meet up at the Boundary line?
Okay well that's all I can really think of for right now. I'll email you later Bells love you.
Love,
Jacob
I smiled at the email a little and started to reply.
Hey Jake,
Yeah I know what you mean. I miss all the things we used to do, but you know just as well as I do why we can't be closer. But I'll still email and call you okay? Okay anyways, On with the email! Uhm. We went to this place called Isle Esme. It was so beautiful there. We did loads of things like scuba diving and stuff and it was amazing. I would never tell you my "night time fun" anyways.
Oh. Tell him I say to get better. Yeah I could imagine Charlie wanting Billy and you to stay there. Billy's his best friend! Well next time I go to Charlie's, I'll make sure to make enough to last for a week and some for you guys to take home to La Push. Uhm I don't know about tom—
I heard my cell phone go off and I got up to go answer it.
"Hello?"
"Oh, I didn't think you were going to be awake Bella. Unless I woke you up." Edward's velvety voice said through the phone.
"No, I was already up. Had a nightmare, then morning sickness and then I was hungry. Also I wanted to check my emails, I havent done that in a couple of weeks." I said picking my laptop back up.
"Oh ok. Well we were going to go up farther North for a better hunt but if you want I can come home?" he said breathy. I guess they were running.
"No, It'll be ok Edward. I'd like to go see Charlie tomorrow. I'll stay at Charlie's over night ok? Charlie misses me and I haven't seen him since the wedding." I said while wiping some sleep from my eyes.
"Okay. I'm fine with that. I'll be back first thing tomorrow morning, or at least early afternoon. I love you Bella" He said softly and sweetly.
"I love you to Edward Cullen. I'll call before I leave or I'll send you a text message alright?" I said sleepily.
"Alright, Love, now get some sleep. Night" he said and then he hung up.
I shut my phone and returned to Jacob's email.
On second thought Jacob tomorrow would be nice. I'm going to go down to Charlie's to visit but we can meet up first. I'll see you tomorrow at noon, at the boundary.
Love,
Bells
After that I shut down the laptop after I deleted my messages and then I went into a dreamless sleep.
