"Why are we going to the store?" Nate asked as Edward un-buckled his car seat and pulled him out. Setting him on his hip, Edward shut the door to the car and locked it as he made his way towards the entrance.
"Because mommy's sick and wanted us to get her some things to help her feel better" Edward told his son as they entered the grocery store. People looked over at the two and stared, eyes following them as they walked. Some were taking pictures but as long as they didn't surround them, Edward didn't care.
"Can we get her cards and flowers?" Nate asked and Edward smiled.
"That's a good idea Nate, I'm sure mommy would like that a lot" Edward agreed as he walked towards the aisle with the cards. The two stood in front of the cards for almost fifteen minutes before Nate picked a card he liked. With a sigh, Edward made his way towards the flowers and let Nate pick out a bouquet he liked, which didn't take near as long.
When the two left, there were photographers waiting outside. Edward gripped his son to him tighter as Nate pressed his face into his neck and gripped his shoulders.
"Edward, Edward...how are you feeling?"
"Edward, where's Bella...how's Bella doing since your accident?"
"Are you sleeping with Tanya Denali? What about Bella?"
"Back up, you're scaring him" Edward said as he held his son tighter, making his way towards his car as the photographers surrounded them.
"I'm serious. Back the fuck up, NOW. You're scaring my son" Edward yelled and walked through the path they had made before buckling his son into his car as he cried. Edward made his way around to the drivers side before sliding in the car and slamming the door.
"You ok buddy?" Edward asked as he looked up into the review mirror once they pulled up to a red light.
"They...they're so mean daddy! I don't like them" Nate cried and Edward's heart broke for his son. Had anything happened to Nate while those photographers surrounded them, Edward would have killed someone.
"I know buddy, I don't like them either" Edward said as he drove them home.
"Hold it! Mommy doesn't feel good Nate, you gotta be gentle and quiet, got it?" Edward asked as he set his hand on Nate's shoulder. The little boy nodded his head before taking his father's hand and led him up the stairs.
"Mommy...don't worry mommy, I'll take care of you" Nate said from his mother's bedside and Bella smiled.
"Thank you Nate, that's just what mommy needs" Bella smiled, rubbing her smiling son's head.
"Nate...why don't you give mommy her presents" Edward said as he handed Nate the bag.
"Here mommy, daddy and I picked them out" Nate said as he handed her the flowers and the card.
"Oh, my boys are so good to me!" Bella said as she smiled at Edward and Nate. "Thank you baby. Why don't you go play ok? I don't want you to get sick too" Bella said as she looked at her son who was a spitting image of Edward when he was a child.
"K, love you mommy" Nate said before kissing her hand and running out of the room.
"I'll let you sleep, I'll go watch him" Edward said as he handed her a glass of orange juice and a bowl of sherbet. "Here, talk into it if you need me" Edward said as he handed her a baby monitor he had taken out of the closet. "I got mine attached" he said as he showed her the matching monitor clipped onto his hip.
"Thank you" Bella said as she closed her eyes.
"Anything for you" Edward whispered from the doorway as he watched Bella sleep.
"I'm sorry I ruined our date" Bella mumbled as Edward got ready for bed.
"You didn't ruin anything. This was the best 'first' date I've ever been on" Edward joked and Bella smiled.
"Really Bella, it was perfect. All I wanted was to spend time with you and I did, so that's what made it perfect" Edward told her as he stood by her bedside.
"Will you lay with me...'til I fall asleep?" Bella asked and Edward smiled.
"It would be my honor my lady" Edward said in a fake British accent and a bow that Bella couldn't help but giggle at. He climbed onto the bed next to her and wrapped his arm around her as she cuddled into his side.
"Night" Bella sighed as she fell asleep.
"Night" Edward yawned and closed his eyes.
A few hours later Bella sat on the toilet staring down at the stick in her hand. While Edward had been out, Alice had come over with the box Bella had asked for. Clamping a hand over her mouth as she started to sob, Bella leaned forward as she cried. This was the last thing she needed and probably the last thing Edward wanted.
"Babe, you ok?" Edward asked as he pushed the door open and saw her crying on the toilet.
"What's wrong Bella...what happened?" he asked as he kneeled down in front of her. Bella dropped her forehead on his shoulder as she cried and Edward wrapped his arms around her shaking body.
"I can't fix it if you don't tell me what's wrong" Edward told her and Bella shook her head.
"You can't fix it" Bella cried and Edward scooted closer.
"Tell me what's wrong Bella, maybe I can help" Edward pleaded.
"You can't help" she cried.
"How do you know?" Edward asked as he pulled away and then dropped his head when the object in her hand hit the floor.
"Bella...what is thi-. Bella?" Edward asked as he picked it up and looked at her.
"I'm sorry Edward! It must have happened before the accident. I'm sorry...this i-is, the last thing, we need" Bella sobbed and Edward stared at her.
"You're...are you...we're...pregnant?" Edward asked with wide eyes.
"Yes" she whispered and Edward stood up.
"Edward...Edward" Bella called, standing up as Edward walked out of the room. She heard the front door close and collapsed to the tiled floor as she sobbed.
