Edward's POV
"They did WHAT?!"
Bella and I were back home, and Rosalie and Alice were sitting across from me, on the couch in my room, while I sat on the bed, waiting for Bella to get out of the shower.
"I'm not sure exactly what happened, but I came back out after talking to Jasper for a few minutes to find Bella on the ground, and Jess and Lauren standing over her. Lauren was pressing down on Bella's shoulder, and looked like she was threatening her. I'm glad I came out when I did..."
I shuddered to think what could have happened to Bella and our child if I hadn't come out when I did. Lauren and Jessica were two of the most relentless girls I had ever met, and it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they had hurt my child and showed no remorse.
"Well, Alice and I will find out exactly what those two skanks wanted won't we Al?"
Alice grinned and nodded, turning toward Rose as they started planning exactly how they were going to get back at Jessica and Lauren. I had known they would, and I wasn't about to stop them from doing anything, except possibly murder, although that was still on my list of possibilities, but I wasn't going to be a part of the planning either. Bella would probably forgive me for it if I did, but I couldn't live with myself.
Not knowing that I hurt someone...because what if one day I hurt her?
I heard the shower stop, and the shower door open. Alice and Rosalie must have heard it to, because they both stood up and walked out of the room, still talking animatedly, undoubtedly figuring out the best way to hurt Jessica and Lauren without leaving visible marks. Getting Alice and Rosalie angry was something I had avoided like the plague ever since they started dating my brothers. They could be ridiculously scary when they wanted to be, and I doubt that Jessica and Lauren knew what was coming.
Bella stepped out of the bathroom, and walked over to the bed.
"Edward, I was thinking. Maybe... maybe if it's a girl we could call it Charlotte? I don't know why, but that name has been jumping out at me from pages of books, and people with the name Charlotte seem to be everywhere. I don't know if you noticed, but the nurse who did the ultrasound tonight, her name was Charlotte. Books by Charlotte Bronte seem to be begging me to pick them up and read them. You probably think it's a bit silly, and I don't normally believe in 'signs', but in this case... I think maybe it is. Plus, I think Charlie might like it too." She said grinning a little "what do you think?"
I sat, thinking for a moment. I did like the name Charlotte, I always had. It was elegant, but not arrogant and pretentious.
Charlotte Cullen. It works. Kind of just rolls of the tongue.
I smiled "I like it. I think you're right, it might be a sign that you're seeing it everywhere, and Charlie would be over the moon."

Rosalie's POV
No one hurt's Bella and gets away with it. No one nearly hurts my Emmett's brother's baby, or any baby for that matter, and gets away unscathed. I'm going to fucking kill these bitches.
I was absolutely fuming when Alice and I left Edward's room. As he had told us what happened, I had to hold back a rant that would have rivalled that of Alice's when she found out Bella was pregnant. Of course she hadn't ranted in front of Edward and Bella, and she was happy that Bella was pregnant, just upset that she hadn't found out earlier. She normally had a strange sixth sense about knowing when something was about to happen. I wasn't happy though, and my rant wouldn't have been one that people could laugh at. Now I had to hold back from committing murder, because apparently that's still illegal.
Alice and I were now in the same quad we're they'd hurt Bella, waiting for Jessica and Lauren to show up before the bell rang. Just as I thought about it, Alice nudged me discretely with her elbow, and I turned to see Lauren and Jess, clad in the most disgusting almost matching bright yellow short shorts and black shirts. It was entirely too cold and rainy for that today, but it didn't seem to bother them in the slightest, nor did their apparent lack of fashion sense.
Alice and I started walking in their direction, and I saw Lauren look us up and down, and say something that was apparently hilarious to Jessica.
"Hi girls" Alice started, in a tone that could easily be mistaken as happy, if you hadn't known her true intentions. Alice and I linked our arms through Jessica and Lauren's respectively.
"What the hell are you two doing?" Lauren asked, trying to jerk her arm away from me, but I tightened my grip on her, and she grimaced in pain, making me smile.
"Lauren, there's so much we need to talk about" I said, faux sweetly, mimicking the words Bella had told Edward that Lauren had said to her, and Alice and I pulled them toward the back of the building where people rarely went.
AN – ok, so if I get to 275 reviews (which really shouldn't be THAT hard, given there are 95 people on alerts, and people who just stumble across this story) I will write the Rosalie+Alice vs Lauren+Jess fight
