Chapter 8: Announcement
When I woke up we were in the airport at the gate. We boarded the plane and set off straight away. We were in Houston before I knew it and back in Forks even sooner. We met the Cullens at the airport. When we seen them waiting for us all of their faces were puzzled and confused. All except for Alice. She kept her promise in not telling.
I ran to her and hugged her as if it was the last thing I would do. She whispered in my ear: congratulations. You're going to be a mum really soon, Bella. I chuckled at what she said. Rosalie was next up. She hugged me even tighter than Alice! What was with all the lovey dovey Rosalie?
We travelled home with Carlisle and Esme in his Mercedes in perfect silence. It only seemed like we were in the car two minutes and we were back at the Cullen's house.
I got out as Esme held the door for me and walked with her to the porch. She smiled at me, but it was a worried and confused smile. When we walked in, all of them except for Edward and I took a seat either on the floor or on the couch.
Edward stood next to me with his hand in mine and both of us took a deep breath-I was the only one though who actually needed it. He gave me a reassuring nod before he started to speak. "Me and Bella have some fantastic news, we didn't even know that it was possible though" He said confidently. He turned to look at me and gave me another reassuring nod that was telling me to tell the news.
"I'm pregnant. You're all going to be Aunties and Uncles!" I said happily Alice ran over to me. I braced myself for the impact but I found her kneeling down hugging my stomach. Everyone looked at her as if she had two heads. "Erm…. Alice, what are you doing?" Rosalie asked, she sounded her normal arrogant self. "I'm hugging the baby or babies" She answered as if it made the most sense in the world. Everyone laughed and before I knew it everyone was giving me and Edward a family hug.
If Esme could cry she would have. You could hear small sobs escaping from her mouth. Carlisle asked Edward to his office, I got really worried at this point but Alice, Rosalie and Esme came to my rescue as they said they would listen in for me. We stood outside the oak office and listened carefully. Thank the lord, they were talking about the baby and how long it would be till it was here. It was already obvious that it was half vampire and half human. Edward walked out and pulled me aside. "Carlisle will need to do some tests to see how far along you are. He'll need to take some amniotic fluid to see. He's also going to do an ultra sound tomorrow so he can tell us what we're having." He spoke.
When he said he wanted some amniotic fluid that meant I had to have a needle through my belly and into our child's home- for now. Edward kissed me. When he broke the kiss he pulled me into his arms and into a hug. He really was going to be a Father and I was going to be a Mother. Soon or not, we were going to be parents! He seemed happy that this was going to happen.
When we walked away and into the living room, Emmett had already put on the Lakers game on. They were winning, thank God. If they weren't, seeing Emmett in that state of mind wasn't pretty at all. I was in a way looking forward to seeing my ultra sound, but also nervous. I didn't want anything to go wrong with the pregnancy.
We went to bed quite early as Edward wanted to thank me in his own way. I woke in the middle of the night feeling so sick I vomited almost four times during the night. I'd seen this in the movies though. Pregnant women vomit and cry a lot, hormones are through the roof and etc etc.
I woke up at nine am. Carlisle had already taken the amniotic fluid when I was sleeping, thank the lord. I would have deafened everyone who lived in Forks if I was awake during that part of our day. Carlisle and Edward walked through the door together smiles on both their faces. "Ahh Bella you're awake. I've already taken the fluid, hence the small plasters on your stomach and you'll be pleased to know everything is alright, but not normal. The foetus or foetuses have 24 pairs of chromosomes like the wolf packs and are developing rapidly. I've estimated that they will be arriving within two months." He said, formally.
"Carlisle has the ultrasound all set up. We could go and have it now or we can do it after breakfast, your choice. "He smiled. "Now" I said instantly. A hint of urgency escaping my lips. We went upstairs and everything was set up like a hospital. The machine was at the end of the room waiting for me.
I ran to the bed and lifted up my pyjama top. Edward and Carlisle were there just after me. Edward sat on the right side of the bed and took my hand giving me a dazzling smile at the same time. Carlisle rubbed the jelly on my belly and pressed the hand held part of the device on my lower belly. I looked at the screen and started to hear something beautiful through the speakers…
OK. Cliff hanger! LOL. Next chapter will be up soon! Thanks for reading, don't forget to R&R! :)
