Authors note: Thanks for the reviews! You will never believe this but there is a boy at my school that looks like he could be Robert Pattinson's little brother or something. Seriously, he looks so much like him it's scary! He's younger than me, 14 or 15 I think. But I have to say; he has nicer hair than Robert Pattinson…lol
Stop kicking me
I now only had about a month and a half until the end of the pregnancy. I hadn't had any more serious emotional outbursts recently and was constantly complaining about the high temperature of the Cullen mansion. Esme had put the heating on high because she didn't want me to be cold but having it on max 24/7 was making the house extremely hot and I was more glad than usual for Edward's icy cold skin.
I was, at this moment, sitting at the kitchen table, staring into a cup of cocoa Esme had made me. She was sitting on my left and was watching me intently as I drank. To be honest, her staring was making me self conscious and rather irritated. I had only been sitting through about 10 minutes of her constantly asking if I was ok and I felt I was getting extremely annoyed.
I took a sip of the cocoa and smiled awkwardly at Esme. "How is it?" She asked, referring to my drink.
"It's great." I answered as I took another sip.
"Are you sure? Not too hot? Not too cold?" She asked, slightly concerned.
"It's fine." I tried to be polite but I think she heard some of my annoyance and changed the subject.
"So, Bella dear, how are you today?"
"I'm fine." I smiled although she had already asked this question at least twice since I entered the kitchen. A draft blew in the window and I shivered slightly as it cooled my hot skin.
"Bella, are you cold? Would you like me to shut the window?"
"I'm fine thank you. It's actually a bit too hot." I smiled at her and continued drinking.
"Ok, but if you get to cold just tell me." She smiled warmly at me. "How are you feeling today?"
I sighed. "I'm fine." I could feel my annoyance growing.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm fine." I said through clenched teeth. What was this? Twenty questions? I sighed and stood up, deciding that if my temper did decide to get out of control I wouldn't want Esme to be on the receiving end. "I'm going to watch TV." I walked out the kitchen carrying my cocoa.
"Are you sure you're feeling alright? If you need anything just tell me." She called after me.
I ground my teeth. "I'm fine. Thank you." I didn't mean to get so annoyed but having someone constantly asking if you were ok was really irritating.
I stepped into the living room and smiled. It was empty. Now I could relax without anyone interrupting. I took a step through the door as something blurred past me and Emmett was standing in front of me before I could blink. I yelped and jumped at his sudden entrance. I jumped back slightly and held my cup of cocoa out in front of me as it spilled over when I got surprised.
I looked down at my empty cup sadly. It was empty and that had been some good cocoa. I lifted my head and saw Jasper and Edward had entered the room to see what was wrong. Alice was in the corner grinning, no doubt she knew what was about to happen even if I didn't. I stared up at Emmett sadly and I could see his feature soften as he was about to apologize. Before he had a chance to apologize or for any of the others to approach me my expression was furious and I glared at him. I swear, I could see fear in his eyes but my judgment might have been clouded with the sudden burst of anger. I didn't want to vent my anger on Esme but Emmett was another story.
"Emmett" I screeched at him and threw my cup viciously at his head. It cracked in two and fell to the floor. He didn't even blink. I scowled at him and took a step towards him, planning my attack. I suddenly felt a wave of calm wash over me and I directed my glare at Jasper.
"Stop it, Jasper! Don't think I don't know what you're doing. Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I'm stupid." He was shocked at my outburst and took a step backwards sensing my anger. If I hadn't been so furious I would have laughed at his expression. Maybe I was scarier than I thought.
I took a step towards Emmett threateningly and felt two cold hands on my waist, restraining me. I turned my head and saw Edward smiling at me slightly. I frowned at him and tried to wriggle out of his grip even though I knew it was a futile attempt.
I froze as I felt a pain in my stomach, just for a moment. I straightened up and stopped fighting. "Ouch!" I squeaked and looked down at my tummy.
Edward instantly let go of my waist and turned me towards him, checking me over for damage. "Bella? Bella! I'm so sorry. Are you hurt? Your hurt, aren't you? Did I hurt you?" He asked frantically and placed his hands on my face. He tilted my head up and I saw his panic filled eyes staring at me. Without waiting for a response he continued. "I knew it. I hurt you. Bella, I'm so, so sorry." He said sadly but I could hear he was furious with himself.
I felt another slight pain in my stomach and grabbed one of his hands on my face. "Ouch!" I murmured again. He blurred away from me and looked at me with sorrowed filled golden eyes. I scrunched my face in confusion at his reaction. What's wrong?
"Edward…" I began and stepped towards him but he cut me off.
"No Bella. Don't. I m sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you." I frowned and took another step towards him. What was he talking about?
I shook my head as I realised what he meant. "No, Edward. I know you would never hurt me." I said softly and took his hand in mine. I pressed his cold hand against my stomach and smiled at his confusion. A few moments later my tummy bumped against his hand and a grin spread across his face. The babies were kicking.
He leaned in and kissed my lips softly. A small pain in my stomach caused me to break the kiss and glare at my stomach. "Stop kicking me." I whispered to it.
