DISCLAIMER: Stephanie Meyer owns the Twilight Universe

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Thank you for all the reviews. You guys are all amazing as always. This chapter is a short one but it is needed. It's one some of you have been asking for since the second chapter. Lol. So thank you for your patience and I hope this clears more of the story up. Let me know what you think.

"You and Edward?" Alice screeched as I closed the door to her room.

Rose was sitting on her bed, looking at me as well.

"My brother?" Alice clarified.

I swallowed and looked to the floor.

"Bella..." Rose prompted.

I looked up warily and nodded. I only wanted to go home and sleep but I knew I couldn't avoid them now. And I didn't exactly want to. They had been my best friends, my sisters, through tough times and I had missed them.

"Please don't be mad at me." I tried weakly.

"We're not mad at you Bella!"

Alice came over and slung an arm over my shoulder.

"We wish you would have told us sooner so that we could have been there for you but we're not mad." Rose explained from her perch on the bed and Alice nodded her head in agreement.

I sighed in relief.

"I didn't know how to tell you." I admitted.

"How about, 'Edward finally gave up fighting his feelings and now I'm going to be his baby mama'?" Rosalie smirked.

I shot her a look and Alice giggled.

"Really, Bella, you could have told us anyway you wanted to. We would have listened."

I bit my lip, trying to keep the tears from falling. Stupid hormones.

Alice walked over to the bed, pulling me along with her, and sat me down next to Rose.

"So...." They both said in unison and I looked up to see them staring at me expectantly.

"So.... what?" I asked. "I'm pregnant, eight weeks along. And Edward is the father."

I wrinkled my brows, trying to think of what else they might want to know.

"And how did this come about?" Alice asked, smiling devilishly.

I blushed and looked down at my hands.

"You should know how this happened Alice." I mumbled.

Rosalie busted out laughing.

"We know how it happened. We meant how did it happen? Last we had heard you two were still in denial, being all buddy buddy."

Alice giggled.

"They were obviously very buddy buddy."

I scowled. My blush was probably going to stain my cheeks permanently now.

"He came up to Arizona shortly after my last visit here. Remember? It was the last month before graduation."

They both nodded. We had had so much fun when I came down last; staying up all night, watching countless chick flicks, and making the guys go shopping with us. I hadn't specifically enjoyed the shopping part but I had liked seeing the guys grumble there way through the stores. Emmett had been bored by store#2 and decided to stand in the display window, posing to be a mannequin, and then scaring all of the customers as they walked passed.

"Well... after I left, that tramp, Lauren Mallory, was hitting on Edward. She was getting upset because he wasn't even listening to her and he blurted out the first thing he could think of. He told her he was sorry but he had feelings for someone else."

I smiled as I remembered his retelling the story as explanation for why he was in Arizona.

"He said as soon as the words left his mouth he realized they were true and he couldn't stop thinking about me. The next day was a Saturday so he got on a plane and he was sitting on my front steps when I got home from the library that day."

I couldn't keep the smile off of my face as I thought back to that day, when everything had been simple. Edward had been sitting on the front steps, smiling sheepishly as I walked up the sidewalk. I had been so overjoyed to see him that I hadn't even thought of asking why he was there at first. He had wrapped me in a hug where I felt safe and whole for once. Then he had told me about the Lauren incident.

He said he was tired of just getting by between my visits and spontaneously decided to come see me. That he couldn't pretend to just be my friend anymore. We had spent the entire weekend together, just happy being together for once without having to pretend. Neither of us had intended for anything to happen but.

"Bella!"

I shook my head, hoping to clear it.

Alice was grinning like a fool.

"That's wonderful!" She exclaimed.

I frowned.

"Yeah, him liking me is wonderful. But things didn't go too well after he left that Monday."

Rosalie and Alice frowned.

"What happened?" Rose asked.

I shrugged, tears forming in my eyes once again.

"I started to doubt myself once he was gone. I mean look at him. And look at me."

Rose rolled her eyes and Alice huffed, crossing her arms over her chest.

"I was just trying to get used to the fact that Edward loved me too. And then there's the fact that we live so far away from one another, and I was worried and confused and then I was stressed because it was the last month of senior year and I had tons of finals and so I...."

"What?!" Alice demanded, getting impatient.

"I avoided him." I sighed.

Alice and Rosalie groaned in unison.

"Aww. Bella. He made the first step. He flew to Arizona to surprise you and he told you he had feelings for you." Rose sighed, exasperated.

"And everyone knows you've been hung up on him since you first moved here when you were fifteen. What's there to be confused about?!"

I sniffed.

"I wasn't going to avoid him forever. I just felt overwhelmed and I needed to get everything straightened out in my head. Then I realized I was pregnant and that kind of put a kink in that."

I rubbed the heels of my hands into my tired eyes.

"I'm so sorry." Alice sighed. "Leave it to my stupid brother to mess this up."

I shook my head.

"No Alice. This is not Edward's fault."

She looked at me sadly.

"What did he say when you told him you were pregnant?" Rosalie asked.

I shrugged, absolutely exhausted now that I had finally told them the whole story.

"Nothing. Well, he said he needed time to think. Then he came over today and we looked at the ultrasound picture... I think it changed things. I just don't know how yet."

"Everything will work out."

I looked at them skeptically.

"He loves you."

I put my head down on Alice's shoulder and she pated my back, trying to comfort me. I knew he loved me. He had told me so. But this was complicated now. We hadn't even talked since he had told me that he loved me. Granted, that was my fault. But then I just show up out of the blue and say, "Hey. Guess what? You're going to be a daddy. By the way, sorry I never called you back."

I sighed.

"I hope so." I said quietly.
