Chapter 9: What The Hell Happened?

BPOV

I heard Edward's voice in my ear, so I woke up and untangled myself from his arms. I thought he was awake so I called his name.

"Edward?" I shook his shoulder, but he didn't budge.

"Bella?" He spoke softly, but his eyes were still closed. Ha, he was talking in his sleep! Who is the weird one now? He always plays with me when I am sleeping, how do I know this? I caught him once, the idiot thought I was asleep, too bad I was awake it was hilarious, I was laughing for 10 minutes, while he pouted.

"What Edward?" I was holding, back laughter.

"Marry me."...Huh?

"Yes!" I whispered without hesitation. I shook him again, harder this time to see if he was really awake or if he was just playing with me as payback. Will he remember what he said if I wake him? I freaking hope so!

"Edward? Edward! Are you awake?!?!" I yelled, he should be now.

He sprang up. "What? Is something wrong? Is it the baby?"

"No. Everything is fine. Did you know you talk in your sleep?" He nodded. "Do you remember what you said at all?" He shook his head, my face fell. "Oh, so you didn't mean it then?" I whispered the last part.

"Mean what?" I didn't answer, so he grabbed my chin, "Bella? Please answer me."

I was holding back the tears that were threatening to fall. "Nothing, it doesn't matter." He didn't remember.

"Please…Tell me…Please." Stupid, freaking dazzling eyes.

I sucked in a breath. "Well…In…You…Asked me to…You said marry me." I smiled at the thought of marrying him and becoming Mrs. Cullen. I mean who wouldn't want to marry Edward?

He blushed! HE blushed I thought only I blushed that shade of crimson! "What d-did you say?" He stuttered.

Now it was my turn to blush, "I said yes." I smiled again.

"Really?" He smiled crookedly. "Did you mean it?"

"Mean what?" I was confused.

"Your answer! Did you mean it?" He stated it like it was obvious.

I blushed, again. "Of course! I dream about being with you forever, marrying you would just make it complete."

"So…Isabella Marie Swan, will you marry me?"

"Yes!" I practically screamed. "Sorry, I mean yes I will marry you." I said in a normal voice.

"We shou--." I cut him off.

"But…After Marie is born though, the stress would be too much. My God and Alice as well. Way too much stress! Is that okay, Edward?" I linked my fingers with his.

He brought up our joined hands and kissed mine, the smiled. "It is fine, before you decided to cut me off, I was going to say we should wait. Alice would definitely be a problem, she would be the energizer bunny on all the sugar in the world!" He laughed.

"Okay then, it is settled. We will get married…But after the baby." Then something crossed my mind. "Edward, we aren't too young to get married are we?" That was the only question on my mind.

"Aren't we too young to have a baby?" He laughed.

"Edward be serious." I whined, this is no time for jokes we had just decided on another life changing decision.

"Seriously..?" I think it is our choice, when we get married, and other people will have to get used to the idea, nothing can change what we have decided. So no…We are not too young!" He smiled.

"Okay, I believe you." I smiled and he nodded. I turned around and laid between his legs, I pulled his arms around me and started rubbing patterns on his hands.

"Mrs. Bella Marie Cullen." I laughed and sighed contently.

He kissed me forehead and laughed a little, "I love the sound of that."

"Me too." I smiled happily

%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%

I woke up in the only place I wanted to for the rest of my life…In Edward's arms. I went to the kitchen, because I was hungry again. I was really hungry, that I didn't even wait till me eggs were done, I grabbed a plate and just threw them on it, sat down and started eating, I was enjoying them until a knock at the door interrupted me. I got up and took my eggs with me to the door and put them on the little end table where we keep the keys.

Another loud knock, "I'm coming, I'm coming!" Jeez, impatient people, hello I'm pregnant and slow moving!

I opened the door and nearly fell over. "Jake!" I screamed and jumped into his arms the best I could with Marie in the way, he wrapped his arms around me. I hadn't seen him in the last 3 months, he had hardly visited. It was weird and VERY annoying.

I let him go. "Where have you been? Why didn't you visit?" I moved and let him in, he turned back to me and I hit his chest as hard as I could, "I thought 'brothers' were supposed to visit their 'sisters'? I really missed you Jake." I crossed my arms stubbornly.

"Okay, calm down Bells, when you hit just then it actually stung a bit, are you getting stronger?" Sarcasm is not nice, I stuck my tongue out at him. "Oh, touchy! I am sorry I haven't visited, I just needed some time to wrap me head around it." He waved his ands toward my bump, he really needed 3 whole months to think? Pfft. "I am really sorry Bells, I am here now so why don't we hang out for a while? Maybe go for a walk, if you feel up to it?"

"Okay, I just need to leave Edward a note, he doesn't freak out when he wakes up and discovers I am not here."

"Sure, sure. I'll wait here, and don't forget a coat, it might rain."

"Are you my Dad or my brother?" I laughed as I went to look for some paper and pen.

Edward,

I went for a walk, but I am not by myself. Jake is with me, we are just gonna catch up, I won't be long. I will be back before you know it.

Love, your Bella xoxo

"Okay, Jake let's go!" Oh god I am probably gonna fall over! Great! I nearly fell down the porch steps, then I was safely on the footpath.

"So…Since I have been 'away' for so long, what have you been up to? Besides the obvious." He laughed.

"Well…I have gotten bigger of course. Um…People still stare, which is really, really annoying. Alice is tutoring me with wanting to go shopping all the time, and soon I'm sure I will have to leave school so I can have this little girl!" I rubbed my bump affectionately, my girl.

"A girl? Really? When did you find that out?

"About 2 months ago, we had to wait till I was about 4 months before we could know the sex."

"Have you picked a name yet? Well, have you and Edward picked name, he needs to like the name as well you know." What? Why the hell is all Team Edward now? Freakin boys are WEIRD!

"He heard me dreaming about it, and he didn't say he didn't like the name, so I suppose we are keeping it." I smiled, I loved that I could treasure my Grandma's name.

"Which is?" He rolled his eyes playfully.

"Oh, the name is Marie Elizabeth Cullen. Marie after my Grandma and, Elizabeth after Edward's Grandma. Does it sound weird or something?"

"Her last name will be Cullen? What is wrong with Swan?

"Nothing! It will be Cullen, because eventually Edward and I will get married and I will be taking his name, so I want Marie to have it as well! Is that a problem? What is going on with you? Pick a mood, jeez! You are worse than a pregnant woman!"

He looked over at me and laughed and I couldn't help but laugh with him. My moods were no better than his.

"So you really wanna become a Cullen? You really wanna marry Edward and all that?"

"Yes I really do, and although this may sound typically 'girly', I want it all. You know, marrying Edward, having a family with him, I don't want to spend my life with anyone but him."

"You should save that for your vows!" He laughed. "And as long as you are sure you wanna marry Edward and all, I will be happy for you no matter what." He slung his arm on my shoulder.

"Thank you little brother." I smiled up at him. Hmm, maybe I will use that for my vows.

%&%&%&%&%&%&%&

We walked around the block for a while, in the distance the sun was starting to set. So we made our way back to the house. I saw Charlie's police cruiser in the drive and my Mum's car, and Jake's parked across the street.

"Hey, how come I didn't hear your car pull up?"

"Oh, yeah I fixed the engine, so it wasn't making those horrible sounds. I absolutely hated it. Maybe I should give your truck a go as well."

I laughed as we walked in the door, my parents were obviously home, I walked into the kitchen to see my Dad cooking (A/N: Charlie and Bella are the good cooks, Renee still hasn't gotten the hang of it.)

"Bells, is that you?" My Dad called, he obviously didn't realize I was right beside him, for a police chief that was kind of funny.

"Yeah Dad." He jumped when he noticed, "Jake is here as well, we went for a walk."

Okay. Hi Jacob, take a seat, why don't you stay for tea, you should bring Billy down as well. We haven't seen him in a while. We'll make it a party."

"Sure, sure Charlie. I'll just go pick him up. I'll be back soon." Jake walked out the door and I turned back to my Dad.

"Dad, is Edward still here?" I hope he didn't go home, I don't remember seeing his car either, hmm, I must be going blind.

"Yeah, he is the lounge. How long has that kid been sleeping anyway?" He laughed.

"A few hours I think, he would be tired, he has been looking after a pregnant woman."

"I know all about it Bells, how do you think you got here?"He laughed. Eww, like I want o imagine that!

"I know Dad, I was just joking with you." I walked up and kissed his cheek. "Is Mum in the lounge as well?"

"Yeah she is on one of the chairs since, Edward has the couch."

I am glad Charlie got over any issues he had with me and the whole pregnancy thing. I thought or relationship would change, but after he came to terms with it, we went back to how we were. My relationship with my mother stayed the same, it was a little weird and kind of cliché, the Mum understands and the Dad blows a gasket.

I made my way to the loungeroom and sat at the end of the couch and put Edwards's feet in my lap, the minute I touched him, he stirred and woke up.

"Hey Mum. Good evening sleepy head."

Renee turned from the TV and said a quick 'hello honey', before turning back to the program that had her undivided attention.

"Hey, did you just get back?" Edward asked with heavy sleep. He must have fallen back asleep waiting for me.

"Yeah, about 5 minutes ago, Jake is staying for tea, are you staying to?" Please say yes, please.

"Only, if you want me." He smiled crookedly.

"I'll always want you." I blushed.

"Same here." His ran his thumb done my jawline and my eyes closed at the contact.

I opened my eyes, and saw out the corner of my eye that Renee had a smile on her face, while still watching the TV. Thank you for the privacy Mum. Charlie called out that tea was ready, so we made our way into the kitchen, just as Billy and Jake came back. We all sat down to very nice looking spaghetti. There was a comfortable silence, until Charlie opened his mouth, which was the worst thing he could have done.

"So Edward, how do you plan on supporting my daughter and a child?" Charlie asked.

"Way to be blunt Dad!" Jeez!

"No Bella, it's okay. After we finish High School, if we still plan to go to college I will get a job to make money."

"So you do plan to take care of my only daughter?" He put emphasis on the only part.

"Yes sir, I wouldn't have it any other way." He added simply.

If, we plan to go to college? If I don't go, he can still go, I would want him to! We are gonna talk about that later.

Aside from that awkward moment, the rest of tea went smoothly. My Dad joke around with Billy, my Mum and Edward were in their own conversation, just like Jake and I. It was around 8 when Billy and Jacob left. While my parents were doing the dishes, Edward and I went up to my room, the second he sat on the bed I started.

"Will you go to college if I don't?"

"No probably not. Why?" He said, unfazed.

"Probably not? Why probably not? You are really looking forward to college. You want to become a doctor, and now it doesn't matter?!" I was yelling now.

"There are more important things Bella! Like Marie, or did you just forget about that?!" Now his voice was getting louder to match mine.

"You can't put your life on hold! I won't let you! I am the one actually having the baby! You can still do what you want!"

"You won't LET me?! I'm not going to leave you alone and put it all on you! It's not like you did this baby thing on your own! I had a part in it!"

"I WAS ALONE! FOR THREE MONTHS AND I WAS FINE, I HANDLED IT, I DID EVEYTHING MYSELF! I WAS FINE!!" He got of my bed and went to stand by the window, he pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed heavily.

"Where is this coming from?" He said calmly.

"I've been thinking about it for a while now." Lie.

"Liar." Damn! "Is this because of what Charlie said? I meant ever word!" He sighed again.

"That is the problem, that you would put your life on hold, and I don't want you too, I want you to do what we had always planned to do before the baby situation. I don't want you to regret staying just for me. What would Esme and Carlisle say?"

"I am not putting my life on hold. It is what I want to do. You will not be alone again, 3 months was enough, I won't leave you. Carlisle and Esme will understand as long as I am happy, and I will never regret not going Bella, how do you think I could ever regret anything involving you! I will be here for you this time!"

"No!" I said sharply.

"No? No, what?" He raised his eyebrow.

"I won't let you! Uhh…I don't wanna talk about this anymore!" I ran my hands through my hair, a habit I picked up from Edward.

"Fine… Look I am just gonna go, okay? I think we need time to cool off or something."

"Will you come back later?" I asked even though I was pretty sure of the answer.

"No…Maybe tomorrow." He put his head down.

"Okay, I guess I'll see you tomorrow or something?" I felt the tears coming, I lowered my head to hide them from him.

I heard my bedroom door close, and he was gone, I wiped away the tears. Why did Charlie have to ask Edward that? Couldn't he have just asked something else? Edward would have eventually told me if he didn't plan on going to college, right? I laid on my bed, I don't think I slept the entire night! I hate fighting with Edward, this is the biggest fight we had ever had, the others were over stupid things and weren't really fights, we made up a few hours later. I think that this will take longer to resolve.

%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%

It was now 2:00 on Sunday afternoon, and it has been 18 hours since I last saw Edward. We have never gone this long without talking or seeing each other. I hope he is not rethinking about marrying me or worse rethinking staying with me and Marie, that would tear my heart in two. I wanted to go over and apologize, but a part of me felt like he was the one in the wrong, he was, wasn't he? Yes, he was willing to sacrifice his dreams for me and our baby. Jeez, no he wasn't the one in the wrong, I am. I am wrong and stupid for thinking he wouldn't do just about anything for me. I had to go see him, and I would right now.

I went downstairs as fast as I was capable. "Mum?" Come on. "Mum?" Where are you?

"Bella?! Is something wrong?" She yelled frantically as she ran in from the backyard.

"No, everything is fine. Can you please take me to Edward's? I need to talk to him, apologize."

"Okay honey." She gave me a sympathetic smile.

"Thanks Mum." I smiled and hugged her.

On the way to the Cullen's, I was going over in my head of how I would apologize, 'I'm sorry' didn't really seem good enough! God I really hate myself right now. I didn't even know we were there until my Renee pulled me out of my internal conversation.

"Bella? Were here, do you want me to wait here for you?" I nodded to her quickly.

I lifted me shaky hand to open the door, and made my way across the drive. I put my still shaky hand to the door and knocked twice, nobody answered so I rang the doorbell, again no one answered. Great, no one is home, just me freakin luck! I turned to leave, when the door swung open behind me.

"Bella?" Not the voice I wanted. Sigh.

I turned back. "Hey Alice. Umm…Is Edward here by any chance?" Please be here.

"Oh…No Bella he isn't. He was gone before I woke up this morning I'm sorry."

Damn! "Okay…Alice do you mind if I go sit in his room for a while?"

"He wouldn't mind, so why would I?" She smiled.

I smiled. "Thanks," I turned and my Mum and nodded to her and she did the same, I waved to her and she drove away. I followed Alice inside, she turned to the loungeroom while I made my way to Edward's room. I went straight to his bed and laid down, I put my nose in his pillows and inhaled the scent I had come to love. I felt Marie kick me…Hard. "I don't know where Daddy is sweetie." I felt tears roll down my cheeks. I closed my eyes and just laid in the dark. Later the door opened and the light was turned on. It took my eyes a minute to adjust.

"Edward?" I prayed it was him.

"If I am Edward, I am definitely wearing the wrong clothes." Alice has to make a joke. "Bella, your Mum called and asked if you were coming home?"

I sat up rubbing my eyes. "Oh yeah, what is the time?"

"It is nearly 5:00. Did you want me to drive you home?"

"Could you please?" I was holding my tears in. He hadn't come home, that much I knew.

The ride back home was quiet, Alice wasn't her usual bubbly self. She knew something was different. I got out of Alice's porsche and mumbled a quick 'thanks' and went straight inside.

I was quite all through tea, my parents didn't bother to ask what was wrong and I was grateful for that. I only wanted to talk to one person, and I hadn't seen him for nearly 24 hours.

After tea I went upstairs to do some homework to pass the time, which was stupid because I couldn't concentrate! I thought back to where it all started, when I found out I was going to be a mother, and life would change.

(Flashback)

Ever since Edward and I had sex, we were closer than ever, which I couldn't help but love! I didn't think my first time would be like that, it hardly hurt at all and Edward was gentle like always. Everything was fine until I found out that I was a week late, I know enough to know that meant something, because I have never been late…Ever.

I went to a pharmacy in Port Angeles, it would be safer to go there instead of Forks, where everything is everyone's business. I quickly drove there and quickly left after a strange look from the women behind the counter. I drove faster than usual, thankfully I was not pulled over, and that would be very embarrassing, pulling the Chief's daughter over for speeding. When I got home I quickly ran to the bathroom and took the test. About 2 minutes later, it was done… 2 pink lines…Pink means positive right? I checked the box, yes pink is positive. Oh God, a baby, I am too young! How am I going to do this? What about Edward and his parents and mine as well? I threw the box in the bin and sunk to my knees and cried.

(End Flashback)

I left my work on my desk and laid back on my bed facing the door, I was there for a while, and eventually my mum came in to check on me, the bed shifted when she sat down.

"Bella honey, is everything okay? You were so quiet at tea." She sounded so sad.

"I'm fine Mum." My voice was so cracked it didn't sound like me, "I'm just feeling a little sick is all." Which was no lie, I felt sick to my stomach.

"Are you sure sweetie?" She stroked my hair, I nodded. "Okay, only if you are sure, I'll leave you to sleep, night sweetie." She leant down and kissed my forehead, not long after she left Charlie came to check on me.

"Hey Bells, your Mum already said she came in, but I still wanted to check on you. Are you okay, baby?"

"I'm fine Dad," I sound like a broken record. "Seriously Dad, I am fine I just want to sleep." I closed my eyes so he would get the hint.

"Okay Bells." He kissed my forehead. "If you need to talk all you have to do is ask, night honey."

"Night." I closed my eyes, hoping sleep would take me over, I eventually fell under with fresh tears on my face.

Whoa that was a long chapter, I just kept going and going. Next up is EPOV on his time way from Bella. Don't forget to press that little green button.

Thanks :D
