Chapter Four

Eight Months Later

Edward was extremely exited about the baby coming. It would be here with in two weeks. Carlisle was my doctor, of course. He said that the baby was perfectly fine and healthy. I was standing by the glass wall in Edwards' room. I was looking out, over the forest and beyond, just thinking.

I remembered the day when we told everyone.

Flashback

Edward and I just got done talking about the new baby when Alice came in. The smiled on her face was huge.

"Edward," she said, "how happy are you?" she giggled at herself.

"Extremely." was all he said.

"Bella, we have to tell the others. I can't hold this secret in for much longer! I've been hiding it since a month ago!" Alice exclaimed.

"I know, I know. But…what would the others say? Wont Rosalie but upset at me….again?"

"She'll get over it. She'll be too excited about the baby as we are." she assured me.

I sighed, nodding my head. "Let's tell them."

Alice screeched and raced down the stairs to call everyone to the living room.

"Edward…"I said, "I'm scared."

"I know, love. But you'll be fine." He kissed the top of my head and took my hand.

I followed him down the stairs and noticed that everyone was already in the living room. Edward and I sat on the couch farthest from them. We were the center of attention you would say.

"Okay, Alice," Emmett said, "Why did you call us all here?"

Alice was practically bouncing out of her seat.

"Bella and Edward have something to tell you."

They all looked at us, their eyes waiting.

I took a deep breath, trying to force myself to say it. Edward was rubbing soothing circles in to the back of my hand.

"Well…" I started.

"Bella's pregnant!" Edward said.

I looked at him in shock. How could he say it so nonchalant?

All their eyes went wide; Alice couldn't stay in her seat anymore and was now bouncing in the corner of the room.

"What?" said Esme.

"We're pregnant." I said, still looking at Edward.

Next thing I knew, I was off the couch and being swirled around by Emmett.

"Emmett, I can't breathe!" I managed to squeeze out.

He laughed. "Sorry, Bella. I'm just happy for you guys."

I smiled at him. "Thanks, Emmett."

"Emmett, you shouldn't swing her around like that anymore. You could hurt the baby." Esme said, coming to my side.

"Sorry," he mumbled.

"Bella, are you sure?" Carlisle said, standing next to Esme.

"Yeah, I did a test and Alice saw it."

Carlisle looked at Alice. "Why didn't you tell us?"

"I wanted to know for sure. Besides, it's Bella's and Edward's news to tell. But I wanted them to tell you now. I couldn't wait any longer."

Carlisle was quiet for a bit, seeming to be thinking. Edward had a confused look on his face.

"Why can't I hear you?"

"It's nothing, Edward. Congratulations, kids."

"Thanks," I said, looking at him. Something was up.

"Bella!" Rosalie smiled at me. She came up to me and wrapped me in a hug. Was she okay?

"Oh, Bella, I'm so happy for you! I can't wait for a niece or nephew!" She was smiling at me.

I looked dumbfounded, I'm sure of it; because she laughed and hugged me again.

"Bella, I know you thought I hated you. And you know why now too. But that doesn't mean I don't like you: in fact, the opposite. I love you like a sister."

I smiled and hugged her back.

"Thanks, Rosalie," I said.

Jasper was just all smiles, no doubt feelings everyone's happiness and joyfulness.

End Flashback

I smiled to myself, remembering that day. Carlisle was a good doctor too; ultrasounds and everything. Edward was so happy to finally be able to have something he's wanted for so long.

I was too lost in thought to notice Edward had come up behind me.

"Bella," he said, "what are you thinking?"

I smiled, "Nothing. Just remembering the day we told everyone."

"You mean my family, or yours?"

I laughed, remembering that day too.

Flashback

I was so scared to tell Charlie. I was so sure he was going to shoot one of us. We were waiting in the living room, trying to watch T.V., waiting for Charlie to get home. We heard the door open and shut. My breath hitched, waiting for my untimely doom.

"Hey Bells," he said when he walked in to the living room.

"Hi, Dad. Um…sit down we need to talk."

He looked puzzled, but sat down anyway.

"What's up, Bells?" he asked.

"Dad…Edward and I…" he cut me off.

"Are getting married. We know that part. Tell me about the part that you finally got pregnant."

My jaw dropped, as did Edward's.

"You knew?" I asked.

"Well, I figured it was a matter of time, but yeah, I guess you can say I knew."

I was shocked. I thought Charlie would be running for his gun to shoot Edward.

"Wow…that was easy." I said.

Charlie laughed. "What won't be easy is you telling Renée."

I gulped, dreading that part. I nodded, walking to the kitchen and grabbing the phone. I took a deep breath before dialing.

The phone rang three times before she answered.

"Hello?" she said.

"Mom?"

"Bella! It's so good to hear from you! How are you, dear?"

"I'm good. Listen, Mom, I have something to tell you."

"What is it, Bella?"

"Mom…I'm pregnant."

There was silence on the other end.

"You're what?" she finally said.

"I'm pregnant."

"Bella…what's the punchline?"

"Mom, there is no punchline. I'm pregnant."

Renée didn't say anything.

"Mom?"

"Bella," she sounded calm at first, "WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU TELL ME SOONER?!"

I held the phone away from my ear while she was screaming.

"Mom, I only found out today. I promise."

"Okay, I'm okay now. When did this happen?"

"About a month ago. The first time."

"Oh, Bella, I'm happy for you, I really am. I just think it's too soon for you to have a baby."

"What do you want me to do? Get rid of it?"

I heard Edward gasp and I turned to see him standing in the doorway. I shook my head at him, letting him know I would never do that to the baby, or him.

"God, no, Bella! Never say that again! I just think you should put it up for adoption when it's born."

I heard Edward growl, trying his very best to control himself.

"No, Mom. I'm not doing that either. It's mine and I want to keep it."

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry, Bella. Are you sure you're ready for it?"

Before I could answer, Edward took the phone from me and answered for me.

"Don't worry Renée. I'll take care of Bella and the baby. I won't let anything happen to either one of them."

"Okay, Edward. I believe you. Take good care of my baby." I heard her say.

"I always do."

End Flashback

I laughed at my memory. I was glad I could still remember them, because I was now a full vampire. Edward didn't change me or anything, but Carlisle thinks that because the baby is half vampire, that the venom infected me and turned me. It was slow, so I wasn't in pain from it at all. Well, except for the baby kicking my insides. That part hurt.

Edward placed his hand on my now round belly. He looked at it with nothing but love in his eyes. He really would be a great father.

I smiled at him, loving the way he looking at me. I knew he would love this baby as much as he loved me. He smiled back at me, guessing what I was thinking.

When I turned, we found out my gift. I could whatever I wanted happen. If I wanted Alice not to take me shopping, she had no choice but to do. She hated when I played my gift on her. But it worked perfectly for me.

Edward still had his hand on my stomach when the baby kicked. He smiled, feeling the small flutter under his hand. He bent down on his knees and placed his head on my stomach, listening to the baby. He smiled when he heard its heartbeat.

"Heartbeat?" I asked.

He nodded, listening still.

"Edward, when it's born, you can listen to its heartbeat all you want."

He chuckled and got up, kissing me on the lips.

"Sorry, love."

I smiled and kissed him again.

Well, what do you guys think? My favorite part was Renée. I have no idea why.

Let me know what you all thought. I think I'll write chapter five now too. It's still early in the night.
