Distractions
"Alice, you better tell me what the hell is going on before I freakin karate-chop you!" I screamed. "Your hormonal so I'll forgive you for that," Alice said placidly. Being six months pregnant was no walk in the park. I glowered at her. "Alice, did you get the flowe-aaa" Rosalie cut off when she saw that I was in the room. "oh, hi, Bella." She said nervously. We were getting along better now, much to the family's relief.
"Not you too," I wailed. "What did I do?" she asked innocently. I grumbled something incoherent and stalked out of the living room. I tried to focus on my breathing, as I tried to calm myself down. I headed to my refugee via the kitchen. Mmm I wonder if there were any more donuts left. Success! I found one. I bit into one chocolate donut and then I died and went to heaven.
Epov:
Alice wanted me to get Bella out of the house, because as she put it she needs to prepare, but where could I take Bella that would require her to get all dressed up? Edward you better get her out off the house fast. Rosalie thought. she better look fabulous when you came back or you'll pay. Alice promised. I cringed. Women. Thank god my wife at least was better, that is when her hormones weren't getting the best of her. The only person who found my wife's hormone amusing was Emmett.
I knew where I'd find her. She was probably in the kitchen. Lately Bella would eat anything that didn't eat her first. Except for fish. She had completely gone off fish. Wouldn't let any near the house.
I walked into the kitchen to see my wife practically making love to the donut. She'd bite into the donut agonizingly slowly, then she'd lick chocolate icing of her fingers. It was sinful, what she was doing and it was making me ever so hard. I wanted nothing more than to place her on the counter push my slacks aside and plunge into- NO! bad Edward. Focus. I had to remind myself.
"Hey honey," I said. hoping she wouldn't note how husky my voice sounded. "Hey," She said. She thankfully finished the donut. "Do I have any chocolate on my face?" She asked. "No," I said. "I was wondering if you would like to go shopping with me." Bella narrowed her eye at me. "Are you high?" She asked. "Why would I want to go shopping?."
" We have to get a present for Carlisle. On account of his uhh… success of delivering thous um… Quints. last night. It was his first time you know. " I said. It wasn't exactly a lie and I desperately prayed she'd buy it. "Okay," she said. "Just give a human minute." I nodded, as she walked into the bathroom. My thoughts drifted towards this morning. Bella and I were both in the shower and she had- Edward! Do you mind! Damn. "Sorry Jazz," I called.
Bella walked back into the kitchen. "Ready," she said brightly. Her mood swings were so unpredictable one minute she was as gentle as a lamb the next she was ready to bite my head off. Suddenly Bella gasped her eyes widened as she clutched her belly. "Bella?" I said fear raking through my body. "Honey, are you okay?" I asked worried. "Edward, the baby," she said. "Whats wrong?" I said still worried. "The baby kicked." She gushed. She grabbed my hand and put it onto her belly. I felt it. My child kicked. Fatherly pride raaced through me. "Wow," I said. "Ya., wow," she agreed. I stood there gazing into her beautiful brown eye's my hand still on her belly though the child had stopped kicking.
"We better go," I said reluctantly. She nodded as we got into the car and headed to the mall.
BPOV:
It wasn't crowded. Was all I could think. Thank god. "What should we get him ?" I asked. "Who?" Edward asked. "Carlisle." I said then it hit me. I glared at him. "You lied didn't you?" I asked bewildered. He gave me my favorite crooked smile. Damn him he knew I couldn't resist when he smiled like that. "How else was I going to get you to come shopping with me?" He asked. "You are unbelievable," I said. "Oh come on, please," He pleaded using the full force of his golden eyes on me. I gave in. "Fine, " I said. God I was such a push over.
. Edward seemed to know exactly where we were going. We arrived in front of a maternal boutique and we both walked in. "I know, you need new clothes." He said. I blushed. "Thanks." I said. Latley I had taken to wearing Edward shirts because my stomach was getting so big and I was to lazy to go shopping. I was now suddenly greatful toward him. "What about this?" Edward said holding up a high waisted blue dress. "It's pretty, "I said. He handed me the dress. I picked up a few other items and went into the dressing room to change.
Epov:
The saleswoman was getting on my nerves. She looked about fifty and had a motherly look on her face though there wasn't anything motherly about her thoughts. Oh goodness. The girls pregnant? My, she's so young. Kids these days. I bet the young man got her pregnant then out of regret married her. I give it a few months. Parent's really should try to raise their kids better.
I growled inwardly. Nosey old bag of bones. "What do you think?" Bella said coming out of the dressing room in the drees I had picked out for her. She look gorgeous. "You look beautiful," I said. She blushed. "Would you mind keeping that on?" I said remembering Alice's threat. She better not touch my cds."You'll have to pay for that first." The saleswoman said acidly. "Oh of course," Bella said brightly. She changed into her old clothes and picked up all the clothes she had tried on and placed it on the counter. " 400," The woman said. I paid her and Bella and I headed out. I begged Bella, to go put the dress on, after some persuasion she complied. She really was beautiful. we shopped a bit more but then she said "I'm hungry," So we headed to the food court. I made Bella sit at a table. I then went to buy her some cheese covered New York fries.
BPOV:
I was so damn hungry. God, I could eat a horse. Suddenly I saw a familiar face in the crowd. Jacob? No, it can't be. I craned my neck not trusting my eyes, but he was gone. Get a grip Bells. I thought to my self.
Edward came back with food and I ate. "I think we should head home," Edward said, while I ate. I shrugged indifferently.
As soon as we arrived at the Cullen mansion I knew something was up there were to many cars. "Edward what's going on?" I asked suspiciously. "You'll see," He said grabbing the bags and opening my door.
I opened the front door and……
"SURPRISE!" yelled practically everyone I know, save the Quiletes. I heard Edward chuckle from behind me as I gaped. Every flat surface was covered in yellow flowers and candles. I smiled and went to greet the guests. "Bella?" I heard someone call. "Mom?" I said. "Honey congratulations." She squealed as she hugged me. "It happened sooner than I expected, but still, Im going to be a grandma!" I laughed. "Thanks ma,"
The party was great. Though it was sort of awkaward when Charlie introduced mom to Kate, my mom was startled but was nevertheless happy for Charlie. I both thanked and apologized to all the Cullen's and they all laughed good naturedly and told me not to worry about it. When the last guest left I headed upstairs for bed but Alice stopped me.
"You haven't gotten our present yet," She complained. "And we worked so hard on it to," Emmett added. "What more could you guys possibly give me?" I asked. "You'll see," Rosalie said smiling we all headed upstairs to a room right across Edward''s room. Edward was close behind me. "Close your eyes," He whispered into my ear. I did.
"Open," He said when the door to the room creaked open. I did. Then I gasped, my eye's filled with tears. It was a nursery. My baby's nursery. It was creamy white and there were loads of toys scattered around. It had an 1850's air about it. "Do you like it ," Esme said expectantly. "I love it," I said. "Thank you," I leaned into Edward,and we both just stared at it. I don't know how long we stood there. The others drifted off giving us some privacy.
Later that night Edward and I went to bed and I dreamed happy dreams as Edwards lullaby, rocked me to sleep.
CPOV:
"Darling, what are you thinking?" Esme asked as we watched TV. "I'm going to be a grandpa." I said. She laughed. "I know love, isn't it wonderful,"
"Indeed," I said, I kissed her perfect lips when suddenly the door bell rang. I glanced at my watch. Midnight who could be calling at this ungodly hour. I opened the door to reveal a very angry looking Jacob Black.
"We need to talk."
