The next morning I was given a surprise attack by Alice, who was jumping up and down on the bed.

I rolled over in bed, hoping she would give up. But Alice I knew would never give up until she got her way.

So when she finally quit jumping, I opened my eyes to see her slightly bouncing up and down. She had the gracefulness any dancer would kill for.

I tore the covers off of me and was about to get up, when I fell off the bed. I was expecting to feel impact any moment, but Alice quickly caught me.

"Thanks, Allie," I said with less enthusiasm than she probably wanted.

"Okay. So I already have the whole day planned out for us. First, we are going down to get some breakfast at a little diner down the street. Then, we are going shopping for some maternity clothes, shop for the baby, and shop for anything else we need. After that, we are going to eat dinner at the airport, because were going to Alaska."

I was totally caught off guard and had to sit down.

"Okay, Alice. Let me get this straight. We are going to eat at a diner, shop until I die, and then were going to Alaska?"

"Yeah. We're going to see Esme and everyone else. I was on the phone with her last night she really wants to see you. She can't wait to become a grandmother. I thought you were going to be difficult," Alice said quickly.

"Ha, Alice! That's a good one. I was just making sure I heard you correctly.

ARE YOU FREAKING NUTS?

I can't leave, Alice. I have to find a job. I have another doctor appointment in two weeks and what if Ed- he is there?"

"Relax, you can find a job, we'll be back within one week, and he's in Africa ."

I felt a little but better, but I still wasn't sure.

"Fine. But I'm too tired to shop today."

"Okay. I'll just carry you around with me."

We should all do what Alice says or she will go to extreme measures. This is the problem; there's no exaggeration with Alice. She really means ALL DAY!

My legs were seriously killing me and I was pretty sure my baby was going to have more clothes than the Queen of England.

The really sad thing is that I don't know the sex of the baby. Alice said it didn't bother her and she bought three whole wardrobes for each gender. She just said I could use the clothes that I don't need for the next baby I have. Yeah right!

Seriously, I know I lived in a messed up world, but what kind of sick world has Gucci baby carriers?

Right now, we are heading back to my apartment to grab our things. We were heading to the airport after that.

I turned the key and opened my apartment door and let the hurricane that is Alice inside. She went straight for my dresser and started packing.

" Alice, I'll never wear that," I said as she picked up a pair of sweatpants that read JUICY on the butt.

I was never a big fan of labels, but Renee had gotten them for me at Christmas a couple years ago.

"Come on! They are probably the only decent article out of your clothes. I need you to be quiet as I work."

I did what I was told and sat on the bed, watching her as she threw clothes around, shaking her head in disappointment.

When she closed my only suitcase and gave it to me, she stuffed a few more things that she had bought on her shopping trip into her suitcase.

On our way out, I noticed that she left some of her things in my room. I was going to say something, but then I decided against it, just in case she wasn't planning on coming back.

We called a taxi and drove the airport.

"Now boarding flight A5 to Denali, Alaska," the woman on the intercom said.

Alice was paying for my ticket, so she insisted that we fly first class. I didn't see the point of flying first class. We would only be on the plane for a few hours.

After we boarded the plane, Alice was looking into the future while rubbing her temples. She would look like she was sleeping to onlookers, but I knew better.

(8 hours later)

We had a direct flight, so we got to Alaska fairly quickly.

She had one of her porsches at the airport. We drove to a very big white house that was surrounded by a small quiet forest.

It reminded me of the house they had had in Forks.

When we walked through the front door, Esme engulfed me in a big, motherly hug.

"Bella, I can not tell you how good it is to see you again. I missed you so much."

"Aw. Thank you, Esme. I missed you too." She stepped back and eyed me head to toe.

"Hunny, I can't believe you're pregnant. I never thought I would ever have a grandchild. Thank you so much for giving that to me."

"Your welcome, Esme." I prayed that my eyes wouldn't betray me, but at that moment, I felt a loose tear roll down my cheek.

"Oh, sweetie. I didn't mean to upset you. I know. I'm so sorry. We all tried to talk him out of it, but he wouldn't listen."

I was too afraid of letting more tears fall out so I just stayed quiet and let Esme lead me to the couch and cradle me in her arms. I let go of my pride and let my tears fall.

I saw Emmett bounce down the stairs. "Bella! Long time no see."

Esme released me and I made my way over too Emmett. "Emmett, it's so good to see y-" Before I could ever finish my sentence, Emmett picked me up and gave me one of those giant bear hugs.

"Wow, Bella. Did you gain weight?" He teased. I laughed outwardly at him.

"Emmett, you don't say that to people. It's rude," Alice teased.

He looked as sheepish as a little kid that got caught using his older sister's bra.

"It's okay Alice. Didn't you tell him, Esme?"

"No, dear. I thought it would be best if you would tell everyone."

"Ooo! Tell me, tell me, tell me!" Emmett yelled like a kid in a candy store.

I swear he died mentally at age six.

"Emmett, calm down. I'll tell you if you stay still." He shut his trap and stopped wiggling. I let out a laugh and took a deep breath.

"Emmett, I'm pregnant."

"Oh! That is so cool! Can I be an uncle?"

"Of course you can, Emmett. I wouldn't have it any other way," I said.

Rosalie walked down that stairs, probably wondering why her husband was acting like an idiot. I didn't want to tell Rosalie because I knew she had always wanted a kid. She would just hate me even more.

"I heard what you said, Bella. Congratulations." She walked over to me and gave me a small hug.

I was shocked. "Um. Thanks. It's good to see you."

I heard Emmett let out a sigh.

"Okay, Bella. I think we're all pretty much dying to know and I have restrained myself from asking far too long," Emmett said impatiently. "Who is the father?"

I took in a deep breath and heard the front door open. I turned around thinking it was Carlisle coming to check up on me.

"Bella, is that you?"

Thank you for everyone who reviewed, and my lovely Beta wearefanpires. Sorry for the delay I will post the next chapter soon!
