Chapter 10- All that you can't leave behind

Bella's POV

"I'll see you at home later love." Carlisle smiled timidly as he walked Bella to the exit of the hospital. His eyes were still careful as he kissed her on the forehead. Still beating himself up about getting Bella pregnant no doubt.

But Bella was on cloud nine. "Okay. I can't wait to tell the guys! Or do you want us both to tell them together?" She was practically bouncing up and down.

"No, it's fine love," He smiled genuinely, "I honestly doubt you would be able to keep it in until I got home." That was probably true. Bella was usually good at keeping secrets but she sinerely doubted she would be able to keep one like this.

Bella looked into Carlisle's eyes for a moment. They looked tortured. "Carlisle, I promise you that I will be fine. Please stop worrying, you'll get wrinkles." She teased, knowing full well that Carlisle would never get wrinkles.

She could see that he was honestly trying to stop his concern. "We'll talk about it later. " He promised. "Now go and tell the others before you explode." The Carlisle she knew and loved was slowly but surely returning.

"Fine. I can't wait 'til you get home." Bella smiled and kissed him once more. "I love you." She told him before opening the door.

"I love you too, Bells. I hope you understand that's why I'm being like this. I don't want anything to happen to you." Carlisle told her sincerely.

Bella nodded. "I know." She smiled and walked out the door, tightly gripping the white envelope that contained the first ultrasound print-offs of their baby.

She drove quicker than she should have to the Cullens' house and rushed in the door. "In the sitting room Bella!" Rosalie called and Bella flitted in there as quick as she could. Rosalie was sat at the piano. She smiled- not like she had smiled when Rosalie couldn't bear Bella but sincerely.

"Where's Alice?" Bella wondered, keyed up as she looked around. There didn't seem to be a sign of anyone else in the house.

"She's gone with Emmett and Jasper to collect decorations and stuff for the wedding. What's wrong?" Rosalie chuckled noticing my giddiness.

Bella decided to go for it. "Rose I know what I'm about to tell you is going to shock you but... I'm pregnant!" Rosalie's face turned to stone for a few seconds before the widest of smiles crossed her face. She darted over to Bella and threw her arms around her before Bella had a chance to blink.

"Bella that's amazing!" Rosalie exclaimed, "Have you told Carlisle?" There was a light in her eyes that Bella had never seen. She knew that Rosalie wanted a baby more than anything and would probably settle for a "sister".

"Yeah. I had suspicions but he confirmed them. He's worried." Bella said and it darkened her mood a bit.

Rosalie's eyebrows pulled together. "Come sit down, tell me everything." She said and whisked her quickly over to the beige couch. "Why is he worried?"

"I'm only about two months gone Rose and look at me." Bella said placing Rosalie's ice cold hand on her little bump. "We did an ultrasound and the baby is neary twice size of an ordinary baby at this stage. It's growing quickly."

Rosalie didn't look worried at all. "Bella everything will be fine, the pregnancy will be probably just a bit shorter." She assured her.

Bella knew Rosalie wasn't going to like what she was going to tell her next at all. "Carlisle thinks I should consider terminating the pregnancy-"

As soon as Bella had said the word "terminating" Rosalie hissed with disgust. "Bella you can't kill your baby! How could he even think that!" She was beyond angry. Bella was very thankful the fury wasn't directed at her.

"I think he feels guilty, but there's no need, the baby and I are going to be fine." If there was one thing Bella knew to be true, that was it. She couldn't even comprehend Carlisle's worries.

Rosalie took Bella's hand. "Of course you are Bella. I promise I won't let them near you. I've got your back."

Bella knew that Rosalie was not going to let her throw away what she wanted more than anything. She was about to speak again when Alice stormed in the door.

"Isabella Marie Cullen!" She exclaimed and it was very clear that she was annoyed. Bella smiled though, no one had called her that before- not even Carlisle. "You and Carlisle couldn't have been a bit more careful? Seriously Bella I'm aware that you both have "needs" but how am I going to hide a baby bump on the wedding day?" Looks like she already knew- probably had a vision.

"I'm sorry for your hardship Alice." Bella chuckled sarcastically, putting her hands on her slightly rounded stomach. "And in our defence, how were we supposed to know that Carlisle could get me pregnant? I mean it's not exactly common knowledge."

Alice sighed and sat down next to Rosalie and Bellla. "I know. Before a half hour ago I never would have imagined that a vampire could impregnate a human woman." She too put a hand on Bella's stomach. "If it's any consolation, you're both going to be fine." She said optimistically. That made both Bella and Rosalie's head pop up.

Bella's eyes widened. "Have you seen the baby?" Had Alice really seen what the child was like after it was born? Excitement flooded her; was it a boy or a girl?

Alice shook her head swiftly. "I haven't seen it after it's born but let's just say I've seen you in three weeks time and you look like you're going to pop. I don't know if it's a boy or a girl." Bella sighed almost in relief. Did she really want to know or would she prefer it to be a surprise? Either way Bella knew things from now on would be moving swiftly.
