I was now 34 weeks pregnant and nearly at the due date of having the baby.
I was lying in bed as I had back ach and a head ach I just wanted to sleep but I couldn't as I was in to much pain.
"Bella, we should start getting a bag ready for the hospital." Alice said sitting on the bed next to me.
"Yeah, I will do it later." I smiled.
"Okay, can I help?" she asked.
"Sure." I smiled and rubbed my huge belly.
The baby was kicking regularly. After a few more hours in bed I finally got up and took a long hot shower.
I got out and started to grab some stuff for my bag I would take to the hospital.
"Okay, you will need a few pairs of pyjamas, a nightie, dressing gown, socks, slippers, hair brush, bobbles, toothbrush, toothpaste, lip balm, shampoo, shower gel, pads, underwear, nursing bra, some loose comfy clothes for when you go home, magazines and books or just one if you like, camera and video tape. We will make sure they are charged for you and flat shoes." Alice said. Her and Esme went shopping for me and got most of these while I was on bed rest for a while.
We both packed my bag it took 5 minutes as we had to find everything. The bag actually light for packing all the stuff we packed into it. I would have to pack some snacks just before I go to hospital but I wasn't due for another few weeks. I also put my purse into my bag as I would be needed to buy food for me obviously.
"Okay now the baby's bag." Alice said.
"Nappy's, wipes, a blanket, 2 outfits for the baby, baby book for foot prints and updates on the baby, hat, car seat which we will bring in the car, baby mittens, socks, towel for the baby and little sock/slippers for the babies feet." She smiled and began grabbing all the stuff.
I packed it and took them down stairs and left them in the living room so I could grab them and leave.
The next few days everyone was making sure everything was ready. They even tried to make Alice see when I go into labour but I begged her not to search as I
wanted it to b a surprise like the sex of the baby.
"Okay, everything is done!" Alice said coming back to me. She had been doing the babies room again, not that there was much for her to do in it but she always found something.
"Good." I smiled.
"I think we should go somewhere." I said looking at Alice.
"Like where?" she asked.
"Well, I don't know for a walk or somewhere I am so bored."
"Bet you just want this one to come." Alice smiled.
"Well, I think I will go see Angela, I haven't seen her in a while."
"Okay, call me if you need me. I need to go hunt." Alice smiled a little.
"Okay." I grabbed my coat off Alice as she went to go get it. "Thank you." I grabbed my phone and car keys.
I walked out side and got in the car leaving Alice in the house.
I drove to Angela's which didn't take that long really. It was nice to get away from that house and see someone new, not that I didn't like seeing Alice and them I just want to be alone for a while.
I got out of the car and waddled to Angela's. I knocked on, and her mother answered.
"Bella, it's so nice to see you! We haven't seen you in a while." Her mother said pulling me into a hug.
"Hi Mrs Webber, it's nice to see you to. I know I have been busy with this little one been born and stuff." I laughed.
"How long is it now?" she said rubbing my belly.
"Well I'm 34 weeks so not that long, this one could decide to drop at any time really." I laughed
"Yeah, like the twins." She laughed.
"You can go up to her." Her mum said letting me in.
Stairs. Great! I sighed and began walking up the stairs, I finally got to Angela's room and knocked on.
"Come in." she said
I walked in, "Hey" I said
"BELLA!" She said running up to me and pulling me into a hug, she must off forgot I was pregnant.
"Angela." I said
"How have you been?" She asked.
"All good, sorry I haven't been to see you it's hard not having any proper family their to help you when you are pregnant." I sighed and sat on her bed.
"Don't worry about it, I have been school and trying to find college's and stuff." She smiled.
"How is this one then?" she said rubbing my belly.
"Yeah all good, not long now though."
"I know! You better ring me when you go into labour so I will make it in time to see him/her when it's born"
"Sure thing, if I don't I will get Alice." I smiled.
"Yeah, good." She said with a smile.
We had a girlie day and night we caught up on everything and anything.
It was around 11:46PM when I realised I was really tired and hungry.
"I better get going." I said getting up.
"Okay, if you can you will have to come here again before you give birth."
"Okay I will try." I smiled. She walked down stairs with me and said bye to me and the baby.
I got in my car and drove home it was around 12:06 when I got home.
I got out of my car and shut the door and locked it.
I walked up the path and opened the door. It wasn't locked someone must be here.
I walked in and saw Alice and Edward sitting on the couches.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" Alice said coming in front of me.
"Angela's."
"All this time?" she asked.
"Yeah, where else would I go?" I asked.
"Well, everything was blurry and I couldn't see when you were coming home and I started to panic in case something happened."
"ALICE! Stop watching me for when I start labour! God." I sighed and waddled to the kitchen.
"I'm not, it's just you're an accident magnet."
"Hey! I have got better while I have been pregnant." I said.
"Yeah, but still. Anyway! Why didn't you answer you're phone."
"You rang it?" I asked.
"Well durh, about 500 times!"
I check my pockets and couldn't find it, woops must off lost it.
"I err… can't find it." I said raiding the fridge for something to eat. I settled for an egg butty.
"You have left it at Angela's she wants to bring it to you but she isn't sure were you're living."
"Oh, I will go get it tomorrow." I said finishing cooking.
"Okay I'm coming."
"Alice, shut up you are not coming."
"Yes I am." She argued
"No! Stop it Alice!!" I said getting angry and upset. God they are too clingy.
"No Bella! You're not scaring me and Edward or any of the others like that again." She said sitting next to me.
"God Alice! You wonder why I wanted to move out in the first place! I knew it was going to be like this! All clingy, it's my baby, my body, my mind, my friend! Please back of a little I feel like I can't breath or move without someone around me waiting to save me!" I said crying.
God what the heck am I crying for? For telling her the truth.
"I'm sorry Bella, we didn't…err, know you felt like that." She said giving me a hug and rubbing my back.
"I like that you are all here for me but it's getting too much. Please just back off if I need you I will call you…"
"You can't call me, you haven't got a phone." She said.
"I will have tomorrow." I said getting up.
"Okay, well you need anything before we go?" She asked.
"No I will be okay, I think." I smiled and got a drink of water and waddled up the stairs. I knew they were still here and I knew they wouldn't leave until I was in bed. I grabbed some clothes and went into the bathroom. I tried to take my bottoms off but I couldn't it hurt when I bent down. I hope Alice is still here.
"Alice." I shouted. She was in the bathroom within seconds.
"Okay, this is going to be really stupid, I can't change." I said very embarrassed. I went bright red I knew it. I could actually feel it.
"Don't worry, it's nothing to be embarrassed about." She said smiling and helping me change.
"Thank you." I said hugging her.
"Don't worry, I will come over in the morning and help you out."
"If you want." She quickly added.
"Please." I smiled and quickly brushed my teeth. She stayed with me until I was done.
I got into bed and gave her a quick hug.
"Thank you." I said getting comfy.
"No problem I'm going to go now if you need us call Edward on this okay?" she said giving me a phone. It must have been hers.
"Okay thank you." I smiled and fall asleep pretty quickly.
I woke up early in the morning needing another drink, some tablets and the toilet.
I had the worst head ach I even started to cry about it.
I went the toilets and grabbed my glass and made my way down stairs.
I got into the kitchen and couldn't find any tablets. I really needed some so I rang Edward off the phone Alice had given me.
"Hello?" Edward answered.
"Do you know were the tablets are?" I sniffed as I was still crying.
"Hold on…" he said.
"Yes in the bottom cupboard under the sink."
"Thank you." I said trying to bent down to grab them.
I groaned and stood up.
"Are you okay Bella?" Edward asked.
"No!" I spat still crying.
"I can't bloody get the tablets and I am in so much pain right now and god I hate been pregnant" I ranted to Edward about my problems like he could make them go away. I leaned over the side and closed my eyes.
"Do you want me to come over and grab you some?"
"Please." I said still crying.
"Okay, see you in a second." He said hanging up. I slammed the phone on the side and stayed in my position of leaning over the counter and my eyes closed to try and stop the tears.
"Bella?" Edward called out probably not to scare me.
"Yeah, in here." I said trying to stop crying.
He grabbed me some tablet and some water and put them next to me.
I finally stood up and felt stiff, not the best thing to do. I took the tablets and drank the water. I put it in the sink and searched the fridge for something to eat.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"No." I sighed.
"Want to tell me?" He asked.
"No… I don't want to scream at you for something that isn't you're fault." I said grabbing an apple.
I quickly ate it and sat down in the living room not wanting to go back to sleep for a while.
"I don't mind you can shout at me all you like, you can't keep bottling it all up it's not good for the baby."
"I am so tired, bored and sick off been pregnant." I sighed
"Why?" Edward asked
"I'm tired because I couldn't get comfy last night, I'm bored because I can't do anything because of this." I pointed to my belly "And I'm sick of been pregnant because I can't do anything for my self and I always have to depend on other people to help me it's annoying." I sighed
"You should go back to sleep if you're tired. I know you're bored but it's not long now and you won't be bored for a while because you will have to look after little one." He smiled. "And yes it must be annoying carrying something that weighs a ton and if I could take the pain away I would seriously." He said with a small sad smile.
"Part of life though init?" I said.
"Yeah." He sighed.
"I wish this would hurry up and end. I love been able to have a child and everything but it's so hard." I said. I could feel the tears coming, I bit my bottom lip and tried to stop the tears from coming. I was to late they began streaming down my face, hormones. I sighed
"It's okay, it will be over soon." Edward said pulling me into a hug.
I snuggled into him and let the tears come freely
"You're doing so well." He said rocking me back and forth rubbing my back.
I woke up to the sound of shouting, I opened my eyes and I was in bed. I rubbed my eyes and sat up. Edward was standing by the door staring at me.
"Hey, have a nice sleep?" he asked.
"Yeah, when did I fall asleep?" I asked getting out of bed.
"About half an hour after you started crying." He answered
"Oh, sorry for crashing out on you." I laughed and walked into the bathroom.
"That's okay." He said following me and waiting by the bathroom door.
I quickly got into the shower and brushed my teeth I had forgot my clothes I wrapped a towel around me and walked into the bedroom past Edward.
I grabbed some clothes and walked back into the bathroom leaving wet patches on the floor from my hair.
I opened the door with the towel still on me. Edward smiled and stared at me.
"Is Alice here?" I asked.
"No, what's wrong?"
"I…err…need help getting dressed." I laughed embarrassed
"Oh, I could help?" he asked. He quickly shook his head.
"No, sorry. What about Rose?" he asked.
"Yeah please."
"Okay, hold on." He said disappearing down stairs. I went back into the bathroom and waited.
Seconds later Rose came in.
"What wrong?" she asked.
"I can't…err change. Alice normally helps but she's not here." I said embarrassed.
"Okay, don't be shy its okay this happens to most people and we are female." She smiled and helped me into my clothes.
"Thank you." I said giving hr a hug.
"Don't worry, you need anything else?" she asked hugging me back.
"No, I should be okay now."
"Okay." She said leaving the bathroom.
I quickly tried to towel dry my hair and stuck it into a messy ponytail. I grabbed the dirty clothes out of the wash basket and went back into my bedroom, I grabbed the other clothes on my bed. I left the ones on the floor as I couldn't get them. I went down stairs slowly and tried to put them in the washer but couldn't. I sighed and threw them on the floor.
"Need help?" Edward said bringing the clothes down that were on the floor.
I smiled and nodded, such a gentleman that's probably why I fall for him.
He quickly put all the clothes into the washer and grabbed the washing things out of the cupboard for me. I quickly started to washer and made some pancakes and eggs. I ate them in silence and went into the living room.
Everyone was here but Jasper, Alice and Carlisle.
Emmett was on the playstation 3. He was shouting down the mic at someone for killing him. I had to laugh, I sat down next to Esme and she quickly gave me a hug.
I had an urge to clean so I went into the kitchen and did the dishes, cleaned the sides, hovered the floor, mopped the floor, dusted everything down, took the rubbish out and cleaned the microwave.
"Bella, you should calm down." Emmett said giving me a hug.
"Shut up, I'm on a mission to clean." I laughed.
"I noticed, why don't you just let Edward do it, he has been watching you all morning." He laughed.
"Because I want to do it." I smiled and carried on cleaning.
I went into the living room and hovered up and cleaned everything.
Everyone was staring at me like I had a OCD or something.
"Bella, we can do that for you honey." Esme said picking up the rubbish of the floor.
"It's okay I want to do it." I smiled.
"Okay, but I am helping you with things you can't do." She said and carried on cleaning with me.
"Thank you." I smiled and carried on dusting.
Next we did the bathroom then the baby's room not that much needed to be done then my bedroom then the guest bedroom, the basement and the study. After we were all done it was 8:00PM I was so hungry so Esme went to cook some food for me while I sat down for a bit.
I sat at the table and waited for the food. She cooked me a fish pie, mash, vegetables and gravy. It smelt so nice I just wanted to dive into it.
I ate it all and was stuffed after.
I needed to go to Angela's today still. I got my coat and the phone Alice had given me. I said my goodbyes and said I would be back for 10PM.
I drove to Angela's we had a quick talk and I got my phone back. I got in for 10 and I got ready fro bed and fall asleep. I wasn't sure if everyone left but I didn't care I was so tired. I gave Alice the phone back and kept mine with me.
A few weeks past and everything was chilled out. I was 38 weeks now and I had to have a check up. I drove to the hospital and Carlisle said everything was okay.
I just had to make sure I was resting and not overdoing it.
I was still cleaning too much but I didn't mind.
I could drop at any time but I couldn't feel it coming yet.
The Cullen's decided they needed to go on a hunting trip; they said they wouldn't be gone for long. They would go at night while I slept and be back for the afternoon.
I got into bed like normal and slept until 5:00AM when I needed a drink. I got up and when I got to the top of the stairs my waters broke. I stared at it for a while and started to freak out. I grabbed my phone and called Alice.
"Alice!" I shouted.
"Bella? What's wrong." She asked.
"My…My waters have broke!" I screamed down the phone trying to breathe.
"Oh god! We are coming are you at home?" she asked.
"Of course, please hurry I'm scared." I said trying to breath.
"It's okay; we will be there in about 40 minutes."
"NO! I need you now! Come on please."
"We are now Bella, calm down!"
"I CAN'T!" I said crying and screaming.
"Breathe Bella." Alice commanded.
"Okay." I tried to breath but couldn't I was in shock and panicking to much.
"Where are you?"
"On the landing." I answered.
"Go down stairs if you can." Alice told me.
"Okay." I started to go down stairs then the pain came.
I screamed and held onto the banister for my life.
"Bella! What's going on?!" Alice screamed down the phone.
"GOD! That hurt." I said letting out a breath.
"Okay, contraction that's all." She sighed in relief.
"God Alice! Why did this have to happen now I am on my own." I said crying again.
"Don't cry Bella. We are nearly there."
"Okay." I said walking down the rest of the stairs.
I got to the sofa and collapsed on it closing my eyes and trying to match my breathing with Alice's.
It worked after a bit, but then the pain came again.
I screamed again and I heard them lot talking in the background.
"It's okay Bella." Alice said trying to reassure me.
"How far away are you?" I asked trying to concentrate on my breathing.
"About 25 minutes away." She answered.
"Please hurry." I begged.
"I am Bella, we all are. I'll send Edward a head okay?"
"Okay."
I had another 2 contractions which felt even worse Edward came bursting in.
"It's okay Bella." He said sitting on the floor next to me.
"Alice, Edward's here now I'm going to go please hurry okay?" I said
"Okay, we won't be long." She said hanging up.
"Carlisle is going to go straight to the hospital to get ready for you to go in okay?" Edward said.
"Okay."
He held my hand and tried to make me feel better when the contraction came. I could tell he didn't like seeing me like this by the look in his eyes.
If he was a human I swear I would off broken his hand by now.
"Alice and they are here let's get you to the hospital." Edward said picking me up.
He quickly took me to his Volvo and Alice joined us. The others must be going in another car. I lay on the back seats crying and trying to breathe.
"It's okay Bella." Alice said rubbing my back as I was on my side.
"This hurts." I sighed and kept my eyes closed.
"It will do, it shouldn't be long now." She said
"It better not be." I sighed
We got to the hospital soon after, I obviously had to try and walk as Edward can't just carry a pregnant women in. That would be weird and people would suspect things.
A few nurses came and put me in a wheel chair and took me into the room I was going to be staying in for a while.
I was still having contractions they were getting worse and more frequently.
Alice told them everything from when they started and how long they lasted and how far apart they were as she was on the phone to me most of the time and Edward told them. I just wanted to sleep, I slept for a while then Carlisle came in.
"Bella, how are you feeling?" he asked looking at the records.
"Tired and sore." I sighed.
"Okay, I'm going have to check how dilated you are okay?"
I groaned and let him. It was embarrassing to let him do this but he had to do it.
"Okay, 7 cm. You will be ready soon." He said writing something down.
"Okay." I sighed and tried to go back to sleep. I managed for a while then I was woken up again by the pain.
"Oh god!" I screamed, everyone was in the room by now they all jumped up and came around the bed to me.
"What's wrong?" Alice asked taking my hand.
"It's ready to come, I can feel it." I said
"Okay, I will go get Carlisle." Esme said leaving the room.
Edward took my left hand and Alice had my right hand.
