Previous Chapter-
Carlisle did test after test and each one came out positive. No, this wasn't happening. I wasn't supposed to get pregnant and Carlisle was just as shocked as I was. My only problem was, how was I supposed to tell Edward I was pregnant? If I did tell him, would he be angry, or happy about the whole ordeal? Oh god, what was I going to do?!

Surprise from the Past
Chapter 9
I left the hospital in the same state I arrived in; A trance-like state. Alice was outside waiting for me with the final answer and when I nodded my head, she squealed so loud I was sure people on the other side of the world heard her. I talked to Alice for awhile, outside the hospital, but soon realized Edward was going to be home soon with Diana. I told Alice I had to go and she insisted that she and Jasper could come over and spend time with their niece. I agreed, I didn't know if Diana would stay awake long enough, after a full day of exploring, but if it made Alice happy.
Alice called Jasper on our way home and he sounded happy to spend time with Diana. Everyone loved Diana, claiming she was sweet, cute and so much like me when I was a human. I can see my daughter has my traits, but hey she is my daughter, I expected her to inherit something from me.
We arrived home about 5 minutes later. Edward and Diana weren't home yet, so that gave me enough time to start something for dinner. Before Edward and I told Diana the truth about us, we would eat with her at dinner time, we didn't enjoy it, but it was the only way to keep the truth from her. When she turned 8 we told her the truth, and she seemed happy about it, thrilled actually. Emmett found it to be the funniest thing in the world for some strange reason.
Alice pulled out some hot dogs out of the freezer while I started to boil some water. Macaroni and Hot dogs sounded good; Easy to make, and the one food that didn't make me nausea right now.
Just as I was mixing the noodles and cheese sauce together I heard squeal as Diana was in her arms, smiling happily and Edward came over to me, covering my eyes. He leaned down next to me and kissed my neck gently.
"Guess who?" He whispered softly and seductively. Luckily I heard Alice leave the room, and hopefully, for my sake, she was keeping her mind blank with thoughts of Diana or something.
"Emmett?" I giggled as I felt him remove his hands from my eyes.
"Do I always have to remind you who I am?" Edward asked as he turned me around, placing the pan filled with macaroni on the counter. He placed his hands gently on my waist. I nodded and slowly, too slowly, he bent down and kissed me. I responded immediately and wrapped my arms around his neck, he responded by pulling me closer. I was excited to see Edward her and at the same time I was nervous. I remembered I still had to tell him the news, bad or good, I couldn't say for sure.
I pulled away from Edward as I heard Diana running towards the kitchen and finished getting her dinner ready. Edward groaned in protest, but grabbed a plate out for me. He held it out for me as I dished the meal onto the plate. Diana came running in and tackle my legs, wrapping her arms around them. I placed the pan on the stove and picked her up, kissing her cheek. She smiled and kissed my cheek back, giggling.
"So, sweetheart, how was your day?" I asked Diana as I sat her down at the counter, her food and silverware in front of her.
"It was so much fun." She began to eat, so she stopped talking. So my manner lessons did work. "Daddy took me everywhere around town. I even saw your and Daddy's meadow. It's really pretty there, mommy." I smiled as I looked over at Edward. He was staring at Alice, a confused look plastered on his face. I smiled and shook my head, focusing back on Diana, he would find out soon enough.
Alice smiled at Edward as she rushed to the door. I knew Jasper was arriving and she was going to wait for him outside.
Soon enough, Alice came back in with Jasper and Diana waved at her uncle. Since Diana was about 5 she loved hanging out with Jasper since he was such an easy going, but fun person. Don't get me wrong, she still loved Uncle Emmett, but sometimes it was nice to just hang with Uncle Jasper.
For the rest of the night we played DDR, monopoly and Sorry. Diana fell asleep in my arms during the middle of Sorry. I was surprised she had even stayed up this late. I ran up the stairs, and tucker her into her bed. She smiled as she wrapped her arms tightly around her pillows. I kissed her cheek and left the room.
I ran downstairs and discovered Alice and Jasper were on their way out. Alice kissed my cheek, and I hers, and Jasper and I hugged each other. Edward hugged both of his siblings, and sooner then I would have liked we were alone. Don't get me wrong, I loved being alone with Edward, but I was still hesitant on telling him my news.
When Edward heard Alice and Jasper fade into the distance he pulled me in his arms and gently laid me on the couch, crawling over me. He kissed my neck gently and I moaned lightly, my breathing completely stopped. As much as I loved this, I couldn't do it. I had to tell him now, or I wouldn't be able to later, I just knew I wouldn't be.
"Edward," I breathed out light, pushing him off me. I sat up and looked into his eyes as he slide off me. His eyes looked as if he felt rejected, but he would soon understand why.
"Bella, what's wrong?" He asked cautiously. I could sense he was worried now; I never did that when Edward and I got into it. I never had that much self-control vampire or not.
"Edward. I have something to tell you." Oh god, her it goes. I gulped and I slowed my breathing down. "I'm pregnant." Edward's face was frozen in shock. We sat there for a good 20 minutes before I could even look at Edward. He was still staring at me, shocked. I broke the uncomfortable silence. "Well?"
"Are you sure?" He asked quietly
"Yes, positive." Oh god! He was upset! I knew it! I knew I shouldn't have told him.
A smile spread across his face and quickly he kissed my lips. I was shocked; I wasn't expecting this from him. Not even one bit.
"So, you're excited?"
"Excited?!? Bella, you're pregnant with our second child; something that shouldn't have happened. Of course I'm happy. I'm thrilled. Oh god Bella! I love you so much!" Edward kissed my lips roughly. I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck, kissing him back. We were both kissing each other passionately, but reluctantly I pulled away, staring into his golden topaz eyes, and he into mine.
"Edward, I love you too. I can't believe this is happening to us. I'm excited also."
Edward cupped my cheek in his hand and smiled, sitting up; he pulled me into his lap. He gently placed his hand on my stomach and smiled.
"How far along are you?" He asked, rubbing my back slowly.
"2 months. I felt sick the pass two weeks, but I was afraid to say anything. Alice came over today and told me to see Carlisle. I did and we figured out I was pregnant after lots and lots test." I shuddered. Even in my 'after life' I hated to visit doctors and have test taken.
"Bella, thank you. Thank you for loving me, thank you for everything. You are the greatest person, and most beautiful in the entire world." I smiled as I kissed his lips gently. He just laid me back on the couch when the door bell rang. That's when I smelled it. It was a horrible, rotting scent. I wanted to barf, and I thought it was just my hormones reacting, but when I looked at Edward, he too, had frozen in place, his nose wrinkled. I slipped out of Edwards grip and cautiously went to the door. When I opened it I felt hard, warm arms wrap around me. I heard Edward's snarls and that's when I realized who it was.
"Jacob…"
