Disclaimer: so yeah still don't own Twilight… I wish she wouldn't be so selfish. LOL
Enjoy and please tell me what you think….
"I don't want to be out all fucking night and miss dinner." Emmett yelled from the kitchen as I looked through my bathroom cupboard. I growled to myself as I checked out the half full box of tampons and then pushed myself up to a standing position.
"Give me 5 fucking minutes you ass." I yelled back at him and shaving cream to the list along with my strawberry shampoo and favorite body wash. I stalked out door and ran right into Edward as I got into the hall.
"Hey love." He laughed as his arms wrapped around me and he pressed a kiss to my lips.
"Hmmmm." I sighed as I wrapped my arms around his neck and pressed my body closer to his. "When did you get home?" I asked as my breathing came back to normal.
"About 2 minutes ago, I was told to get my list ready for the 'ass' before I ravaged my girlfriend and not after." He chucked as we backed away from each other and I ran my thumb across his lips wiping off the strawberry flavored lips gloss that had transferred from my lips to his.
"Well you better hurry then or the guy is going to have an aneurysm." We both laughed as I followed him to his room and flopped myself stomach first onto his overly comfortable bed. "Ok I got an idea for tomorrow?" I mumbled as I played with one of his pillows.
"And that would be?" His voice came from out of his closet.
"I was thinking we could…." I heard a few things fall to the ground and a hushed 'fuck' come from him and giggled. "What the hell are you in there?" I heard him laugh as he stuck his head out from behind the door.
"I have to hide my shampoo and stuff from him or he uses it all." He explained as he help up a bottle of Axe body wash. I rolled my eyes and tossed a pillow at him.
"Then why don't you bring all you stuff into my bathroom, you're always in it anyway." I offered as I rolled onto my back and toss another pillow up into the air a couple times. I felt his fingers run through my hair and turned to look into his perfect green eyes.
"You don't mind if I move my stuff into your bathroom?" he chuckled as his fingers continued to run through my hair.
"Well hell you're taking over every other part of MY house, my living room with all you music stuff, spare room with all of Lizzy's stuff, even the other side of MY garage for you little silver Volvo," I shrugged as I rolled my eyes. "might as well take over my bathroom too with all your girly metro stuff."
"Oh wait one minute little one." He said in mock anger as he grabbed my shoulders and pulled me off the bed onto the floor with a plop. I watched in horror as he sat on my legs and started to tickle my ribs, causing me to scream and try to kick my way out.
"Stop..please…stop..I'm going… I'm going to pee." I gasped as he continued to tickle me.
"No way.. ." He said as his fingers made their way down and he started to tickle behind my knees.
"Uncle.. Uncle… anything…" I cried as tears streamed down my face and I slapped at his hands not doing a thing to stop him.
"My GIRLY metro stuff?" he asked as his fingers stopped moving and I had a few seconds to catch my breath.
"Well, maybe metro is a strong word." I said nonchalantly. "But they sure are girly." I watched as his eyes closed slightly and his lips pulled into an evil grin. I looked behind him and saw Emmett leaning against the door frame laughing silently shaking his head back and forth. I make eye contact with him and blinked three times. It was our secret wrestling code for 'hold him'. He nodded once and I looked back at Edward and smiled.
"girly are they…." He said cockily as he pushed himself off the floor ready for another assault just as Emmett wrapped his arms around him holding his arms tight against his body. I watched as Edwards's eyes go big and his body stiffened. I laughed as I pushed myself off the floor and started to pace in front of him.
"Who has the upper hand now, Cullen?" I asked as I ran my fingers lightly across his stomach. I heard Emmett laugh as Edward hissed from my touch. Edward shook his head as he gave me a look that more or less told me the minute he had me alone I was so in for it.
Bring it on boy, I will so enjoy it.
"I'm not ticklish Bella." Edward said nonchalantly.
"Pits." Emmett mouthed; I watched Edward roll his eyes and smile thinking I would be deterred. I started my attack slowly watching the slight change in his posture as my tickling covered his ribs.
"Oh I'm sure I can find somewhere." I said seductively as I lowered my fingers to the waist band of his jeans and saw his eyes widen as he struggled against Emmett's grasp. "NO? Ok so how about?" I said with a laugh as I got onto my knees, I ran my hand down lower with me and played with the back of his knees. He didn't even flinch and I heard a laugh fall from his lips.
"Told you, love. Now Emmett if you would let me go." He said as he started to struggle against the grasp again. I pulled myself up off the floor with the help of Edwards's jeans and tapped my finger to my lips pretending to think of something. Then I raised my finger into the air and said a loud 'Got it'. I walked over to him and ran my nose down his neck and smiled as I heard his intake of breath.
"Maybe here." I whispered into his ear seductively as I forced my fingers into his armpits and started tickling him like there was no tomorrow. He tried to hold out; I could see it in his eyes. But he couldn't take it and tears started to fall. I heard Emmett laughed and then let go of Edward at the same time. I looked up at Emmett in awe and felt Edward wrapped his arms around me and lift me off the ground bridle style.
Emmett, that fucking Benedict Arnold, I am so going to kick his ass.
"You fucking….. Ass….. holes….." I screamed as Emmett smiled slyly and winked at me causing my stomach to fall out my ass. "Oh God no… Please Emmett.. Don't.." But it was too late he had already ripped off my flip flops and started tickling my feet. I started kicking and managed to make contact with his face a couple times, but nothing hard enough to stop him.
"Do you give Swan?" Edward whispered into my ear and then ran his tongue round the shell of it. I felt the shiver go all the way to my toes and a moan fall from my lips.
"What the Fuck Eddie… not with me in the room. It was bad enough walking in on you two last night on the island." Emmett grumbled and backed away as Edward placed me on my feet and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Oh God please tell me you bleached it when you were done?"
"You are just now asking that after I watched you make your sandwich on it today Benedict Arnold?" Both Edward and I laughed at him as his mouth dropped and eyes bugged out.
"What's wrong Emmy bear?" Edward asked with a look of innocence he just couldn't hold.
"Yes Em I washed and bleached before I went to bed last night." I shook my head as I walked over to him and handed him my list. "Here is my List, and please do not get the cheep body wash this time, that shit dries my ass out." I playfully slapped him on the cheek and started to walk out the door turning around and smiling at my two guys. "I'll go start dinner, you got an hour Em."
"You are one sick puppy." Emmett wiggled an eyebrow at Edward as he handed him his list.
"Hey more than makes up for the time when I walked in on you and Rose on the washing machine." I looked back to see Emmett trying to shush Edward and looking at me with fear written all over his face.
"YOU FUCKED ON MY BRAND NEW WASHER?" I yelled as I stomped back to him arms flying everywhere and face burning red hot. I heard Edward laugh behind me and Emmett gulp.
"I'm sorry?" it was more a question than a statement.
"You're sorry. I told you that no one fucks on my brand new washer. You have broken 3 of them in the last 2 years, are you trying for 4?" I screamed as I poked my finger into his chest harder with every word.
"I didn't break this one." He deadpanned and I shook my head.
"How in the hell did you break 3 washing machines?"Edward asked laughing so hard that he was gasping for air.
"Let me just say that most of them can't handle full force on the spin cycle." I threw my hands up in the air and watched Emmett flinch and stalked out of the room.
"You two are helpless." I huffed as I slammed the bedroom door behind me trying not to listen to the two of them gossip like little school girls about the right way to fuck on a running washing machine.
"Hey Izz."
"What Em?"
"You didn't put tampons on your list?" I turned around from the pan of pork I was braising and looked at him.
"Don't need them; I still have a half a box." I turned back to the pork and added another splash of red wine before covering it and turning the temp to simmer.
"You have been home for over two months, and I haven't had to buy you a box since before you left to Africa. Did you go get a box on your own?" He whispered as he walked up next to me and placed a hand on my shoulder.
"No." I shook my head and closed my eyes thinking back if I had went to the store to get a box lately. "I must have had left over from Africa?" I thought it over again and still didn't remember going and getting a box, Hell I haven't had to go buy my own box for the last 5 years, Emmett always did it for me.
"Bella?" Emmett looked worriedly into my eyes and I shook my head. "do you think?"
"No." I deadpanned.
"Are you sure?" he pulled me into a hug and held me tight.
"I'm sure Ems. It's got to be stress; you know with the whole Jacob , and now boyfriend, and mom coming to visit." He looked at me with worry etched over his face and then kissed my cheek.
"That must be it." He agreed "Ok I'm off to the store. Love you Izz."
"Love you too Em. Oh and dinner will be ready in 30 now, better mover your ass." I said as I stared off into space and tried to remember the last time I did have my period. Do you really think?
No like you said it's just stress.
But what if?
Stop, you are going to make the stress worse.
We need to do some calculations.
Why?? It's just stress..
But what if?
STRESS…. Got it Stress.. End of subject.
I felt strong arms wrap around my waist and Edward's lips caress my neck.
"You ok, love?" he asked and turned me around to face him. I nodded and pressed my lips to his.
"I'm fine, just tired." I sighed and pulled myself tighter into his chest enjoying the warmth and safety of his arms.

Around 6 weeks late …
"OH MY FUCKING GOD."
"What? What?" Alice shrieked from behind the wheel of her car looking around like a maniac.
Oh my God.. I'm late" I whispered into the confined area, starting to feel claustrophobic.
"What?" I swear I could hear the roll of her eyes. "You're not late; you still have hours till your dinner with Edward. You're not getting out of baby shopping with me that easy." She chimed as we pulled into to Brandy's complex.
"No.. listen to me Alice….." I turned to grab her arm and tugged it hard as she tried to get out of the car. "I'm late.. Like. Late." I emphasized each word. I watched as her face went from concern to full fledge excitement over the span of 60 seconds.
"You mean?" she squealed and wrapped her arms around my neck. "Were gonna have our babies together, late?" I nodded my head and let it fall onto her shoulder. "They are going to be the best of friends just like you and me, I just know it." She yelled as Brandy looked into the passenger window with Lizzy on her hip.
"Who is going to be best friends?" she asked as she looked back from me to Alice who was bouncing up and down in her seat looking like she was about to piss her pants.
"Bella's and my baby." She cried and I heard Brandy gasp and her hand rest on my arm.
"Bella are you?" she asked as I turned to look at her and started crying.
"I don't know, Emmett asked me why he didn't need to buy me tampons and then it got me thinking when was the last time I needed them… And… And it has been.. Oh God Brandy, we have only been together for two months. He's going to think." I covered my face with my hands and sobbed into them.
"Bella, calm down." She soothed me as she looked at Alice. "Do you still have a test or two at your place?" Alice nodded excitedly and clapped her hands. I didn't hear anything for a few minutes and then Brandy started talking again. "Change of plans Ro. Can you meet us at Alice's? Yeah and bring our 'oh shit' fix all." I looked up and saw her smile at me. "Thank Ro. See you in 15." She hung up the phone and then opened the passenger door. She pulled me out and gave me a big hug with her free arm.
"Oh Brandy what am I going to do? Edward is going to hate me for this."
"Stop this right now Isabella." She said with force. "Edward loves you, and he will love the fact that you are going to have his child." I looked at her with my jaw to the ground. "Yes I know he hasn't said it yet, but I know Edward better than anyone else. Now let me go drop Lizzy off with Embry and get to Alice's to make sure that you are all upset for a reason. And believe me, everything will be fine." She hugged me again and then walked off to take Lizzy to Embry.
"Ok so how long do we have to wait?" Rose asked as she passed around the Cheesecake platter and chocolate mousse.
"3 more minutes." Alice said as she shoved a big bite of Strawberry cheesecake into mouth and hummed in joy. "I love your 'oh shit' fix all."
"And how many did she pee on?" Rose asked trying to hide her laugh.
"Well I only had 5 left." Alice giggled and I rolled my eyes.
"I'm glad you guys are having so much fun at my expense." I huffed and dropped my head to my folded arms, barely missing them and smacked my forehead on Alice's oak table. "Oww." I cried as I looked back up and started to rub my head seeing all my friends, and I use the term loosely right now, laughing at me. I was about to ream them all a good one when the egg timer went off. We all stopped dead and looked back and forth asking silently of each other who was going to go look.
"Ok I'll go." Brandy said after a few minutes, she stood up and gave me a hug. "It will be alright, no matter what." She whispered into my ear before she went into the small bathroom off the living room. We all stood up slowly and followed behind her. I flopped myself onto the loveseat, Rose sat on one side and Alice on the other holding my hands. After about the seventh time of calling myself a stupid bitch and asking how could I ruin our lives like this, Brandy walked out of the bathroom with all five tests in her hands.
"Welcome to motherhood." She whispered as she handed all the tests to me and kneeled at my feet. I looked at each in awe; every single one had two pick lines on it.
Not even one came out negative. All fucking 5 were screaming at me 'look what you just did'.
"I'm going to be a mother?" I asked looking at Alice with tears in my eyes. She nodded her head once and pulled me into her arms.
"Oh Bella this is great." Rose said as she pulled Alice and I into a sideways hug.
"What is Edward going to say?" I whispered into Alice's hair.
"He is going to be ecstatic." Brandy explained as she stood up and joined in the group hug.
"I need to go tell him." I said like a zombie, I pushed their arms off me and stood up.
"Do you want us there with you?" Brandy asked as she walked over and picked up my purse. I shook my head and sighed.
"No." She nodded and smiled as she kissed my cheek and put the test into my purse.
"I'll take you Bella." Rose stood up and took hold of my hand and pulled me to her car.
"Bella call me after you tell him, we have double the amount of shopping to do now. And remember everything will be fine." Alice yelled out to me from her porch still bouncing around like a fucking jumping bean. The ride was silent and I had a lot to time to go over and over in my head what I was going to say to him, none of them sounding right.
Hey Edward guess what your gonna be a daddy.
Nope don't think so, how about..
So I know you love Lizzy and all, what do you think about one of your own?
Not even, what about.
You, me, and baby make three; what do you think?
Oh God I am so fucked.
"What do I say to him Rose?" I said as I cradled my head in my hands and shook it back and forth. I felt her hand rest on my shoulder and felt a tad bit calmer.
"He's a smart man; just hand him the test, he will understand. Sweetie you don't have to say a word." She rubbed my shoulder reassuringly as we pulled into the driveway. I turned to look at her and smiled warily.
"Thank you Rose." I opened the door and slid out of her BMW. "Can I ask you a favor?" I asked as I turned back around and looked at her after looking at my front door of a minute or two.
"Of course." She laughed.
"If he reacts badly will you come and kick his ass for me?" I laughed as I tugged on the zipper of my purse that was holding all 5 of my positive test.
"If he does, which I know he won't." she winked and put the car into reverse. "I won't have time to do anything; Emmett will get to him first and there won't be anything left for me to worry about." We both started laughing, waved goodbye, and I turned to walk to my house.
Ok so I am just going to sit him down, and hand him the test. I won't have to say a word. I nodded to myself a couple times and walked into my house.
"Bella?" I heard Edward's voice call from the laundry room.
"Yeah." I called back shakily and walked into the living room, purse still clenched in hand. I watched as he walked out of the laundry room with a basket full of our clothing. I felt the tears start to sting my eyes and had to sit down.
I don't know if I can do this. He is going to hate me.
"You're early. Did you get all the stuff for the baby's room already?" he asked as he kicked to door closed and dropped the basket at my feet, sitting next to me. I looked at him and felt the traitor tear slide down my cheek. I looked into my eyes and wiped the tear off my cheek. "Is everything ok, Love?"
I shook my head once and then nodded it once. I couldn't make up my mind if it was ok or not. I opened my purse and reached in to grab the test that were tied together with a yellow ribbon.
"You tell me." I whispered as I closed my eyes and handed him the tests. I waited for a count of 10 before opening my eyes and looking to see him looking at each one of the test in turn. I watched as his face went from confusion, to understanding, and then the one that made my heart flutter was the pure joy that came last.
"Bella…" he looked at me with hope and I felt the tears come more freely down my cheeks. "Are you telling me that…" he pointed at me, and then pointed at himself "are having a baby?" I nodded my head and covered my face with my hands.
"I'm sorry Edward.' I started but him pulling me into a bone crushing hug that cut me short.
"Oh Bella I am so excited." I heard the tears in his voice before I felt them on my neck. He pulled back and wiped the tears from my cheeks again. "There is nothing for you to be sorry about. This is one of the greatest days of my life." He pressed his lips to mine in a passion filled kiss that took my breath away. Then once we had to pull apart for air he pushed himself off the couch onto his knees, lifted my t shirt up and pressed his lips to my stomach right about my waist line. I watched him in awe as he whispered into my stomach so softly that I couldn't make it out and then kiss it once more.
"Are you sure your ok with this?" I asked as he came back up and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"I am so better than ok with this Bella." He jumped off the couch and ran down the hall yelling 'hold on' behind him. I looked at the test once more and then rested my hands on my flat stomach.
I have a person growing inside me.
Yep you do kid.
Can I really handle this?
This question coming from the same woman who wanted to bring home every baby she saw in Africa?
Yeah, well bringing home a 6 month old is a lot easier than getting big and fat and pushing one out of your own body. I cringed when I thought of the pain that would entail.
You are such a pussy. Don't think about all that, think about that perfect little baby that you and the love of your life have just brought into the world. I smiled largely and rubbed my hand lovingly across my belly.
"What brought a smile to that beautiful face?" Edward's voice brought me out of myself. I looked up at the perfect man in front of me and sighed.
"I was just thinking.." I stopped talking as I watched him set up my tripod and placed my camera on it. "What are you doing? Stop Edward you're doing it wrong." I said as I stood up and took over. Yeah so I am anal about my equipment, but hell it's my life. Well it was before about 30 minutes ago. I stopped dead and looked down at my stomach again.
What about work? I won't be able to travel across country pregnant, or even after the baby is here.
Maybe you can get a job here in Seattle?
The Celeb circuit again…
WE will cross that bridge when we come to it. Stop stressing it's not good for the baby.
"Bella, are you ok?" I felt Edwards arm wrap around me and his fingers caress my stomach.
"We have a lot to talk about." I mumbled as I went back to placing the camera onto the tripod properly.
"I agree, but for just today can we just be happy. I love you." he whispered into my ear and I felt his lips on my neck.
"Love?" I sighed as I felt the tears start to sting my eyes again. He turned me around and pulled me into his embrace.
"Yes Isabella Marie Sawn, I love you." I felt my heart speed up and the tears flow steadily down my cheeks.
"Oh Edward." I cried as I buried my head into his chest and sobbed uncontrollably. "Why am I crying so much? And what is the camera for?" I sobbed even harder and I heard him chuckle.
"It's the pregnancy hormones my love. And we need pictures for the baby book." He kissed my lips softly, pulled me over to the couch, sat down and pulled me into his lap. I looked into his eyes and gasped as I saw so much emotion in them I felt my own heat would burst with the intensity.
"I love you Edward Anthony Cullen. Oh God do I love you." I whispered as I pulled his face to mine and kissed him deeply. I barley register the click of the camera as we separated and gasped for air.
"Ok my love, I have something for you that I was going to save till your birthday, but I feel that today is the perfect day for it." He explained as he pulled out a small heart shaped box from the cushion of the couch and placed it in my shaking hands. I slowly lifted the top of the box and gasped when my eyes landed on the double heart ring engulfed in red velvet.
"Oh Edward." I cried as I lifted the ring out of the box to take a better look at it. The two hearts were entwined with each other with three diamonds clustered at the top of the smaller heart.
"When I saw this I knew it was for you. This is my promise to you," He placed his hands and my stomach lovingly and pressed a kiss to my lips lightly. "And to our child; that I will be here for you for as long as you want me to be." I was staring at his hands caressing my stomach.
"What if I want you forever?" I whispered as I entwined my fingers with his still resting on my stomach.
"Then forever it will be."
FBFBFBFBFBFBFB
"Last day of last cycle?" Heidi my Obgyn's medical assistant asked as she looked over my records.
"May 25." I felt Edwards hand squeezed mine in a reassuring way and I smiled brightly.
"And you took how many over the counter test?" Heidi said trying to hide her laugh.
"5." I looked at Heidi who just shook her head and made some notes. "Go ahead Heidi, laugh." I sighed as I covered my face with my free hand and tried to hide my own laughter.
"Bella I have known you for 5 years now. I know how …" she stopped for a moment trying to find the right word I raised my eyebrow and looked at her with mock anger. "OCD you can be." I heard Edward chuckle beside me and I slapped him on the hand.
"I'm not OCD, I am overly.." I looked at both of them and started laughing at myself. "Ok so I can be a bit OCD. But I had to be sure." I huffed as I looked back to Edward.
"I love you, OCD and all." He whispered so just I could hear and placed a kiss on my cheek.
"Ok Bella, Dr. Weber will be with you shortly, you know the drill." Heidi walked to the door and then turned to look at me and smiled. "And congrats on the baby and the hot guy." She winked and I shooed her out the door laughing at the look on Edwards face.
"So I'm hot?" he said as I stood up and started to undress.
"Beyond." I hummed as I pulled my yellow sundress over my head and heard his intake of breath.
"This is not fair Isabella." He pouted as I pointed to the simple purple over the head cover up and white sheet.
"What's not fair Edward?" I asked innocently taking the items from his hand and then removing my bra before pulling the cover up over my head.
"Because of this appointment I didn't get my Bella time last night, and now you are showing me all I missed. That's what's not fair." I looked into his startling green eyes that had turned so dark it took my breath away.
"Are you still going to look at me like that when I am big, round and can't even see my own feet?" I asked shaking my head as I pulled my yellow boy shorts off and sat back down on the examination table covering my bottom half with the sheet.
"Yes I am." He said as he sat next to me and took my hand again pressing light kisses over my knuckles. I heard a light knock on the door as Dr. Weber walked in.
"Hey there Bella." She said cheerfully as she walked into the room and sat down across from me and Edward.
"Dr. Weber." I smiled slyly as she raised her eyebrow to me."Yeah, yeah, hello Angela how is Ben and the boys?" We both started laughing and I looked at Edward.
"Doing great, can you believe that the boys are almost 3? The invites to their birthday will be in the mail soon; so expect it."
"I brought something home for the boys from Africa." I said as I handed the two hand carved wood Giraffes to her.
"Oh they will love them." she gushed as she looked them over and set them on the counter. "Ok so let's get down to business and then we can talk more a little later." She looked at my chart and then smiled brightly. "So it is August 14th today and by the date of your last cycle you would be around 11 weeks.. We will know for sure after the ultrasound today." She said as she looked at Edward and smiled again. "And you must be the proud daddy?" she extended her hand to him.
"Oh I am so sorry." I mumbled as I looked from Edward to Angela. "Angela this is Edward my boyfriend, Edward this is Angela my doctor and good friend." They shook hands and then she went back to her notes.
"Ok so we will need to get some blood work done today." I cringed and saw Angela look at me apologetically. "Bella, you will have more needles in your body during this than you ever had. But in the long run it will be well worth it." She smiled wryly and patted my knee. "Your strong you can handle it."
"Ok so what's first?" I said as stiffened my back and took a deep breath.
"Normal checks, then we will go to the ultrasound room and take our first look at your baby." She said as I laid back and she showed Edward where he could sit to be out of the way.
A short conversation about her sons filing their swimming pool with 10 different Kool-Aid packets; the cost of draining, cleaning, and the refill of an Olympic size pool and how the boys almost didn't make it to their third birthday when daddy found out later, the normal checks were done and I was laughing so hard I thought I was going to pee myself.
"Just you wait Missy." She wagged her finger at me and smiled. "Get your clothing back on and we will go to see your baby." She said as she walked out of the room. I jumped off the bed and looked at Edward who was staring at me.
"What?" I asked as I pulled off the cover and tossed it with the sheet on the table.
"We get to see him today." He said in awe.
"How do you know it will be a he?" I asked with a giggle as I put my bra and underwear back on.
"I guess I don't." he said as he handed me my dress and grabbed my purse and water bottle. "Won't be able to find out that for another 10 weeks." He shrugged as I tied the strings in the back and slipped on my sandals.
"So you want to know?" I have asked him that same question about a million times over the last week since we found out for sure that we were pregnant.
"Yeah I think I do. Your right, how can we make sure the room is perfect, or if we have everything perfect for him." He stopped as I raised my eyebrow and smiled. "Or her, if we don't know for sure." He pulled me into a hug and kissed me passionately. A knock on the door pulled us apart and buried my head into his neck giggling softly.
"Bella, ready?" Heidi asked as she peeked into the room and smiled. We both nodded and followed her down the hall to the ultrasound room. "Ok Bella, sit on the table, pull up your dress, just to your bra; here is a sheet just cover to the waist band of your panties. Dr. Weber will be in shortly." She left to room and did as I was told.
"You know I think I have seen your panties more today than I have in a week." Edward huffed as he helped me onto the table and covered me with the blanket. I placed my hand on his cheek and caressed him lovingly.
"I will make that up to you when I get you home Mr. Cullen." I said huskily and watched his eyes widen and darken at the same time.
"Promise?" he said as he leaned in and kissed my lips lightly. I nodded and smiled as Angela knocked and walked in.
"So mommy and daddy are we ready to see our baby?" she asked as she switched on the machine and sat next to me. She picked up a bottle of goo and shook it a couple times. "Ok so it's going to be cold." She said as she squeezed a large amount on my stomach; I squealed and glared at her causing her to laugh evilly.
"A little more notice next time please." I whined as I watched her place the wand on my stomach and move the goo around.
"Ok so listen closely." She said as some scratchy noise came out of the machine. "Ok so you hear that fast, thump, thump, thump." She looked at both of us and smiled as we nodded together. "That's your baby's heartbeat." She sat there for a minute and then looked confused. "Wait a minute." She placed her fingers to her lips and schussed us.
"What's wrong Angels?" I asked with worry in my voice a full two minutes later.
"It sounds like…" she listened for a few more minutes and kept moving the wand around. "Oh my.."
"Jesus Christ Angela tell me before I freak the fuck out." I hissed as Edwards wrapped his arms around my neck and stared at Angela.
"Oh I'm sorry Bella, it sounds like two." She explained as she moved the wand a little more and smiled even larger.
"Two." I looked at Edward with full confusion and saw tears in his.
"Twins." He mouthed as I felt my stomach clenched.
"Twins?" I gasped as the tears feel from my eyes and looked back at Angela for conformation.
"Yeah, there are two distinct heart beats here. Let's see if we can get a good picture." She looked at the monitor and moved the wand lower and lower on my stomach pressing a lighter harder. After about 5 minutes she finely smiled and brought our attention to the monitor. "Here we go you see these two little gummy bear shaped figures?" she pointed out a blur and I heard Edward's intake of breath.
"I can't see anything." I said as the tears came back to my eyes. "I'm a horrible mother and their not even here yet." I cried even harder. Edward came closer to me and kissed my lips lightly.
"You're not a horrible mother, love. It's hard to see if you don't know what you're looking for."
"But you can see them." I sobbed as I continued to look at the screen and still couldn't make out the gummy bear shape figures that are my children.
"Baby, I have been through this all before with Brandy remember?" He soothed me and I calmed down slightly.
"Ok let me try this again." I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. "Angela could you point them out to me please?" I said as I wiped my eyes and looked back to the screen. She pointed out two little smudges and I squirted to see them better. After blinking about a dozen times I could finely make out something that looked like a gummy bear.
"That's our." I pointed to them and smiled. "Oh my, Edward they are"
They are what? Cute, adorable, perfect….. I shook my head.
"…. Gummy bears." I said as I laughed at myself and he pulled me into a hug. I felt Angela wipe off my belly and cover me with the sheet.
"Here Bella." Angela handed me a picture with circles around two perfect little gummy bears. "This is the first picture of your babies." She said as he pulled me into a hug and kissed my cheek. "I need to see you once a month till you are eight months along then it will be once a week. Now with Twins most people don't make it the forty weeks. Oh and let me work out by the length how far along you are." She looked back at the screen and did a little measurement in her head. "Ok so I am coming up with around 10 weeks… that means you got pregnant between the 28th of May and the 7th of June." I smiled in joy for about a second and then my whole world came crashing around me.
Did she just say???
Yeah she did…
But Edward and I didn't get together till the 5th.
Yeah and who were you with before that?
Don't be a bitch at a time like this.
Ok yeah my bad… sorry..
I looked at Edward in fear and felt the tears cascade down my cheeks.
"OH MY GOD. They could be….." I sobbed as he pulled me closer to him and rocked me softly shaking his head back and forth.
"No." He whispered into my hair and held me close.
"Edward I was with Jake.." he silenced me with his hand and looked at Angel.
"When can we do a test to find paternity?" he asked her and I sobbed loader harder into his chest.
"To be safe when she is 12 weeks along we can do an Amniocentesis." I felt her hand on my back and she leaned in closer. "Could they be Jakes?" she asked in a calm voice. I nodded once and looked at her in defeat.
"It will be fine Bella." Edward soothed as he still held me and kissed the top of my head.
"How can you say it will be fine? I could be carrying another man's baby… wait strike that babies." I yelled as I pushed out of his arms and jumped off the table.
"I don't care if they are his biological children. I will not treat them any different then if they were my own…. " He said as he walked over to me and placed a hand on my stomach.
"How?" I asked as I watched him caress my two unborn children.
"Because I love you Bella, and any child that you love I will love just as much." He said and I heard Angela sigh. I looked over at her and she smiled at me lovingly.
"I will make the appointment for 2 weeks from today to do the Amniocentesis." She said with a nod as she walked over to me and hugged me. "It will work out." She whispered into my ear and then walked out of the room leavening me alone with Edward.
"You still want me even if they are Jacobs?" I looked at him with fear filing my swelling eyes.
"Yes, Bella, forever. I won't like having to share you with HIM; I will if I have to. But I have a good feeling that the two beautiful babies in here." He placed his hand on my stomach again and caressed it lovingly. "Are mine."
"I hope your right." I sighed as we held each other.
"I hate to say this love, but we need to tell Jacob." He said as we walked out of the clinic 15 minutes later. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes as he helped me into the passenger seat of Jenna.
"I know." I said in a low voice as started the engine. I picked up my phone and pushed the number for Jake.
"Bells?" his deep, husky, sleep ridden voice came over the phone and my tears came back full force.
"Jake … we need to talk." I cried into the phone as Edwards hand reached over and grabbed hold of mine.
"Bells are you ok? Did he?"
"Jake came I come over?" I cut him off and looked at Edward for support. He smiled at me and mouthed 'love you' and I closed my eyes with a pained smile on my lips waiting for Jakes answer.
"You know you don't have to ask." He said his voice still angry but sounding a little less murder sum.
"Ok we will be there in about 5 minutes."
"WE.. We who, Bella?"
"See you soon Jake." I closed the phone and placed it into my purse. "What are we going to say?"
"Everything we know so far." Edward said as he ran his thumb over my knuckles and drove us to Jacob's apartment.
