Please read, review, follow and favorite. Those alerts tell us to keep going with this story!

I had been feeling off for a couple of days. All I wanted to do was sleep and my breasts were beyond sore. I didn't want to get my hopes up but I was really thinking that I was pregnant. I wasn't even late yet, but my hopes were soaring. I didn't want to get Edward excited but I needed to tell him what I thought. So I called him when I knew he was just getting off work.

To say he was excited was an understatement. He brought home ten pregnancy tests. I just laughed when I looked in the bag he handed me. The grin on his face was priceless and made me love him just a little bit more. We decided not to do a test that night and wait till my period was actually late.

When Friday rolled around I was completely exhausted. Edward was working that afternoon shift and wouldn't be home until after 10. I curled up on his recliner in the living room with a book and must have fallen asleep. I woke briefly when I felt him lifting me into his arms. He carried me to bed and I was back to sleep before he had the covers pulled over me.

I woke the next morning to my stomach rolling. I barely made it to the en-suite bathroom before the contents of my stomach reappeared. I decided then that I should take a test. I cleaned myself up, brushed my teeth and then peed on the white and pink stick from one of the many boxes underneath our sink. Three minutes later I was holding something that would change our lives. It was positive. I was pregnant. Edward and I were going to be parents.

I stepped back into our bedroom to see Edward just waking up. He always looked so sexy sleep rumpled with bed head. His eyes locked on the item in my hand.

"Sweetheart, is that what I think it is?" He asked quietly as he started making his way toward me.

I felt the tears burning in my eyes. "Yes." I whispered.

He looked down at the stick in my hand and must have seen the two pink lines that basically yelled YOU'RE HAVING A BABY.

"Bella?" He asked astonished.

"It's positive Daddy."

"We're pregnant?" He asked.

"We are baby." I didn't even get the sentence finished before he was crashing his mouth to mine and swinging me around the room.

We spent over an hour celebrating, first in our bed, and then in our shower. I didn't think I had ever seen Edward that happy. After our shower, he wanted to take me to lunch to celebrate publically. Over our drinks and food Edward filled me in on his day at work on Friday. When he told me what happened after Rosalie showed up to go for lunch with him, I lost it. I was laughing so hard that the other patrons in the restaurant were looking at us like we were crazy.

"Oh, baby. When we see Rose tonight, please remind me to thank her. Damn I would have loved to see Gianna's face when she found out that Rose is your sister-in-law."

"It was pretty fucking funny. I don't think she will bother me anymore."

"Well just warn her that your PREGNANT wife will throw a smack down if she doesn't back off."

He just snickered at me. "I love it when you're jealous." I just glared at him but was actually fighting a smile.

When Monday rolled around, I called and made an appointment with my doctor to confirm the pregnancy. I let Edward know the date because he wanted to be there. I lucked out and got an appointment for Wednesday of that week. I sent Edward a text to let him know so that he could arrange his break around the time of my appointment. He replied with a big happy face and an I love you.

Wednesday arrived and I had taken the day off work so that I could get some running around done before my appointment. I sent a text to Edward to let him know I was at the hospital and to meet me in the cafeteria cause I needed something to drink. I greeted a few of Edward's co-workers as I walked through the cafeteria to the cooler where the drinks were stored. I was bending over to grab an apple juice from the bottom shelf and out of the corner of my eye I saw a very familiar figure across the room. By the time I straightened and turned my head he was striding out the exit. I shivered a little in apprehension as I thought, 'Why would Jacob be at the hospital?'

My nerves calmed immediately as I felt Edward's warm arm wrap around my waist.

"There's my beautiful wife." He kissed me lightly on the lips and smiled.

"Hey Handsome. I just need to pay for this and we can head upstairs."

He pulled the drink out of my hand and strode to the cashier. I just follow shaking my head. I couldn't even pay for a juice if he was present.

In the elevator I told him that I saw Jacob in the cafeteria.

"I kind of hope he didn't see me. For a while after I moved out of his house he tried contacting me on several occasions, almost demanding that I don't go through with the divorce. I would rather he didn't know where I am. "

"Well don't worry sweetheart. We both know he can't have you back. You're my wife now and you're pregnant with our baby. Not much he can do about that."

I smiled and kissed him. He always knew exactly what to say to calm me and to make me swoon.

The appointment with my doctor was routine. Blood was drawn and confirmed I was indeed pregnant.

Dr. Banner ushered us into his office and smiled across the desk. "So according to the date of your last period and all of the other information you gave me. You conceived June 20th and you're due on or around March 13th."

My eyes went wide as I glanced over at Edward. He gave me a huge grin knowing exactly what day that was. He snickered a little bit and looped his arm around my shoulder. Dr. Banner gave Edward an odd look.

"Dr. Cullen?"

"Oh nothing sir; it's just that June 20th is my birthday. I'm just pleased to know that my Bella got pregnant on my birthday." He said smug grin stuck in place.

I just shook my head. He knew very well that not only did we conceive on his birthday; that was also the day we had some fun in the on-call room to spite Gianna. How was I going to tell my child that he or she was conceived in the on-call room at Harborview medical center?

As soon as we were out of earshot of Dr. Banner I gave Edward a swat on the arm. "That wasn't funny you ass. We are so NOT telling this baby where he or she was conceived."

"Why not baby? It's unique. How many of his friends are going to be able to say that their mom and dad created a perfect combination of the two of them in a on-call room at the hospital?"

Damn that man and his perfect words. "A perfect combination of us?" I asked with tears immediately gathering in my eyes.

"Of course baby" He said as he pulled me into his arms; "I just hope he or she is lucky enough to get your gorgeous chocolate brown eyes." Then he kissed me far too passionately for public, but I couldn't find it in me to care.

Edward had to head back to work and I had the afternoon free so I thought I would do some grocery shopping. I stopped at the Whole Foods a few blocks from home and picked up a few things for dinner and a few staples we were missing around the house. When I was getting back in my car I looked across the street and swore I saw Jacob again, but this time a passenger in a dark blue car driven by his friend Embry. I knew that Jacob still lived across the city, and Embry lived on the La Push reservation, so why would they be in my neighborhood? It creeped me out a little bit, so I hopped into my car and got home as quick as I could.

When I got home I sent Edward a text to let him know that I saw Jacob again. He called me as soon as he could, and this time he sounded a bit worried.

"Where did you see him?" was the first thing he said when I answered the phone.

"I was just walking to my car outside of Whole Foods when I happened to glance across the street and he was sitting in the passenger side of his friend Embry's car."

"Did he follow you from there?"

"I don't think so. They were on the other side of the road facing away from the direction to our place. I jumped in the car and took off. Unless Embry was able to turn around right away, there was no way they followed; I was pulling into the garage less than 5 minutes after I pulled away."

"Are you okay sweetheart?" He asked trying to sooth me a bit.

"Yeah, I think I'm fine. It just creeped me out seeing him twice in one day like that. I don't see him anywhere for over a year and then I'm seeing him everywhere."

"Well keep your eyes open and if you see him again, let me know right away. Today could have just been a coincidence. Whole Foods isn't that far from the hospital. But I don't want you to let your guard down either."

"I won't. Anyway, on a happier note, I was thinking on inviting everyone over for dinner Friday night to share the news. For now I just want the family to know. What do you think?"

"I think that is a great idea sweetheart. Are you inviting your Dad and Sue as well?"

"I am, hopefully they can make it. I'd rather tell them in person that they're going to be grandparents, than over the phone."

"Well if they can't make it, we can always drive out to Forks this weekend. This is my weekend off."

We finished up our phone call and I called everyone. Dad and Sue were able to make it, which made me very happy. We could tell everyone that matters our good news all at once.

A couple of hours and a nap later, I was just getting ready to make dinner when the phone rang. I didn't recognize the number or the area code, so I almost didn't answer it.

"Hello?" I asked tentatively.

"Isabella? Is that you honey?" asked a voice I had not heard in a long time.

"Mom?"

"Oh hi honey. I am so glad I was able to track down your number. How are you?"

"Um, I'm fine mom. What are you calling for?" I had not heard from my mom since just before I left Jacob. She was always Team Jacob, so we had a big blow out when I told her I couldn't handle being neglected anymore and that I was leaving.

"Well, I figured that after a year and a half you would want to talk to me again. Your old number was disconnected, so I called where you work and they gave me this number. How have you been honey? Did you come to your senses and stay with Jacob?" I sighed loudly.

"No mother. In fact I moved out of his house less than a week after I spoke to you last."

"Isabella." She said sounding pissed off. "Why would you do that? That boy loved you and could take very good care of you. So what if he was barely home. Do what I do when Phil is out of town, find someone else to warm your bed for a short time."

"MOTHER!" I was so shocked.

"What, a woman has needs. If your husband makes a decent amount of money, but has to be away from home to do it. Fulfill those needs anyway you can."

"Look mom. I left Jacob a long time ago. I've moved on. Which you should know, you were sent an invitation to my wedding almost 8 months ago. "

"You've remarried already? Were you seeing him before you left Jacob?"

I sighed again, "No mother. I never cheated on Jacob. I actually met Edward 6 months after my divorce was final. We've been married since the beginning of December."

"What does he do? Can he support you? Did you sign a pre-nup?" She started rattling off stupid questions.

"I am not answering any of those questions. It is none of your business. All I will tell you is he treats me wonderfully, I have never been more loved, more cared for and more happy than I am when I am with Edward. That is all you should care about. I don't even know why you're even asking. You haven't been around most of my life. Why all of the sudden?"

"Look here young lady. I am still your mother."

"NO, you stopped being my mother the moment you walked away from me and Daddy when I was 10 years old."

I heard the distinctive click of the other line being disconnected. She hung up on me and I didn't even care. I just hit the end button on my end, shrugged my shoulders and went back to making dinner for Edward and I. Edward got home at his usual time and I went to the entry to meet him. He had a strange look on his face that I couldn't quite place.

"Hi baby, welcome home." I said with a smile.

"Hi Sweetheart." He bent over to kiss me and smiled, but it almost looked forced.

"What's wrong?"

"This was hanging on the doorknob." He held up my locket that had been missing since the break in that caused us to cut our honeymoon short.

I gasped. "Oh my god, I didn't think I would ever see that again." Tears filled my eyes.

"Sweetheart, I think we need to bring this to the police." He said seriously.

"Oh, why?" I asked shocked.

"Look at the photo inside. It was one of us kissing in my parent's back yard wasn't it?

"It was. One of my favorites." I opened up the locked and gasped again. It looked like someone had burned Edward's face with a cigarette and a big red line was drawn between the two of us.

I dropped the locket, fell to the ground and started to sob. Edward immediately scooped me up off of the floor and carried me to the couch. He started rubbing my back and talking softly to try and sooth me. It worked and my sobs turned to sniffles in just a few minutes.

We quickly had a bite of the dinner I made and then took the locket to the police station. Our file from the break in was still open and they added the locket to it for evidence. We were asked a few simple questions, including if we thought we knew who would do this. After seeing Jacob that after noon, I gave his name immediately.

We went home and Edward held me most of the night while I had a very restless sleep. I decided that unless something else came up, I was not going to let this affect my life. I could not let stress and anxiety get to me for out baby's sake. Edward reluctantly agreed.

A few days later I was prepping the appetizers for our family dinner/announcement when the doorbell rang. My Dad and Sue had arrived. Sue had been in my life for as long as I could remember, first as the wife of my Dad's best friend Harry, then as Dad's friend when my mother left and he needed someone to help out with my female problems. When Harry passed away just after I turned 18, it was hard on Dad, but he stepped up and gave Sue a shoulder to cry on. They were strictly friends for quite a while, but I remember going home the Christmas before I was set to graduate from college and I could see the love they had for each other painted across their faces. They had been more than friends for just a few weeks. 6 weeks later on Valentines Day they were married. They were perfect for each other and I was happy my Dad was no longer alone.

I opened the door and Sue engulfed me in a hug. "Hi sweetie. So good to see you."

I smiled warmly at her and then got pulled out of her arms into my Dad's. "Hi my girl."

"Hi Daddy." I whispered, tears starting to fall.

"Hey now. What's with the tears?"

"I'm just happy to see the both of you. I love you Daddy."

"Oh, I love you too my girl." Edward walked in the room and greeted Dad and Sue.

Edward ushered my parents into the apartment. Edward grabbed my Dad a beer and they went into the living room, probably so he could tell Dad that I had been seeing Jacob around the area and about the locket. Sue followed me into the kitchen to help with all the food. An hour later, everyone else started to arrive. Carlisle and Esme greeted my Dad and Sue like they were old friends and it warmed my heart. Emmett and Rose were next. Rose immediately started teasing Dad about his moustache. It seemed Rose was the only person in existence who could make my Dad blush. Not that I blamed him, Rose is an amazingly beautiful woman. Alice and Jasper were the last to arrive. Something was up with them. Jasper, normally the calm, cool and collected kind of guy was a bit agitated and somber. Even Alice wasn't as perky and happy as she normally is. I decided I would ask her about it after dinner.

Everyone loved the food I had prepared; no big surprise, Emmett had enough to feed three people. Just before we served coffee, Edward squeezed my hand and smiled at me. I nodded. It was time for our announcement.

Edward stood at the head of the table and cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.

"So I am sure you are all wondering why we asked you here for dinner tonight. It may not seem like a special occasion, but to Bella and I, it's huge." He squeezed my hand again and pulled me up to stand beside him. He swung his arm around my shoulder leaned over and whispered in my ear. "I love you, do you want to say it, or do you want me to?"

"You please."

Everyone was looking at Edward and I expectantly. "Well; we wanted to share with our family that in mid March we will be welcoming a new Cullen to the family. Bella's pregnant!"

A huge Gasp sounded around the table before yells and screams of joy reached my ears. Esme bounded around the table and scooped me into a hug. Alice was close behind sandwiching me between herself and her Mom. Dad looked so happy and he even had a tear rolling down his face. Everyone was congratulating us except for Jasper. He was smiling, but as he stood back from the crowd, his smile didn't reach his eyes. I didn't know what was going on with him, but I did see that Edward noticed as well. His brow furrowed a bit as he looked at Jasper.

After everyone calmed down the girls pulled me into the living room and peppered me with questions. I saw Edward pull Jasper out on to the balcony, most likely to talk about what was going on. Alice still seemed a bit off, but not as dramatically as Jasper. I hoped nothing was wrong with their relationship. They had not yet set a date for their wedding, but I knew they loved each other immensely.

A/N YAY, baby Cullen on the way. It also looks like Jacob is up to something doesn't it? Anyone have a guess as to what? And what the heck is up with Jasper and Alice, the news that was shared should be joyous and exciting, and not cause Jasper to be somber.

The next chapter from EPOV written by CullenSweetheart will post tomorrow and it will give you some answers.
