Bella's point of view.

Chapter 10

4 Month's later…

"Bella! Over here." I heard James call.

I looked around till I saw him at and smiled. He looked great in his cap and gown.

"Hey." I told James when I was standing in line with him. I frowned. I was happy to be graduating but I just wished I would be able to graduate with Edward. Today was the day he was graduating to.

"What's with the frown? You're supposed to be excited about getting out of high school." James said.

I was about to come back with a sarcastic comment but the ceremony began and so the teachers led us out to the big field where we were told to sit down in the white chairs that were laid out for us.

When we reached them I sat down next to James as the principal began his speech about how proud he was about us graduating.

I sighed as the speech kept going on for another ten minutes. James laughed at me saying I was going to go into early labor if I kept on stressing about random things.

When the speech ended, that's when the nerves began to hit. The principal began calling out names and I tensed. My heart began hammering for the moment that my name would be called.

I looked to the staged again and saw Cindy in a white chair looking at me. I smiled at her and she smiled back. I got more nervous when James got called before me and then after he came back I got called up. I mostly waddled because I was now so big at four months. My heart was hammering even harder.

Please don't fall.

Please don't fall.

I kept chanting that in my head on my way up. I was met with the principal whom handed me my diploma. When I was done I quickly glanced at Cindy who was squealing in delight. I smiled at her and walked back to my seat.

When I sat down I felt a flutter in my stomach. I looked down at my stomach in shock and James looked at me confused.

"What?" He asked.

"I think the baby just moved." I whispered to him.

He quirked an eyebrow at me and smirked. I looked back down at my stomach and right on cue it fluttered again. Tears streamed down my face as I put my hands on my stomach. I gave James a sheepish smile and James and he laughed. The other student's were looking at us as if where crazy but I shrugged it off.

The baby fluttered a third time before it stopped. I smiled before wiping my face up. It was so real. I Love this baby no matter what.

I sighed contentedly as the ceremony continued again flawlessly.

When the ceremony ended I laughed as James and I threw our caps up in the air with everyone else. I hugged James and I began crying again because of the hormones. I wiped my eyes as Cindy came up to me and hugged me followed by congratulation. When I pulled away I saw James with Jane and whom I assumed to be the babysitter talking. When James was done talking to her he picked up Jane and came back to where I was.

"Congratulations Bella." Jane said while coming up to me and hugging me.

"Thank you Jane." I replied.

She smiled at me and then Cindy began talking.

"How about we all go out to eat?" Cindy suggested.

I shrugged.

"Sure." James said.

"Bella, you can take your car, James you can take Jane and then I will take my car. We will go to the diner across the street from desert lane." Cindy said. I smiled. It felt nice to have a car. I had recently gotten it so I wouldn't have to get rides from Cindy or James. I had a nice little Honda Civic. It was just for now so I could get around. I was suddenly snapped out of my thoughts by Jane talking.

"Can I go with Bella?" Jane asked James.

James looked at me with a skeptical look on his face.

"Yeah, you can come with me." I told Jane. She gave me a dimpled smile and then James went to retrieve her car seat. We began heading to my car and Jane grabbed my hand like she always does. I smiled down at her and then James came with the car seat. Once James had her strapped in her closed the door and I drove off with Jane chattering in the backseat. I smiled and talked with her. Jane could be talkative when she wanted but shy in other cases.

Jane kept on her banter with me until we finally arrived. When I got out I went to help Jane out of her seat and then once she was out she grabbed my hand and we walked to the diner. When we got inside I saw Cindy sitting down in a booth. Jane immediately let my hand go and then she ran off to sit with Cindy. I smiled and stayed where I was to wait for James.

I looked back at Cindy and Jane and they were playing hangman. Cindy had grown close to Jane when she was helping me move into the apartment or when she came to visit, since James was always either at my place or I his.

I kept waiting until James finally came. When he did I led him to the table and we sat together while Jane sat with Cindy. When the waiter came we ordered our food. We talked until our food came and when it did I ate my entire plate while James and Cindy laughed at me.

"Hey you guys know that I can't eat small portioned food anymore" I replied.

"Bella? When can I see the baby?" Jane asked suddenly. I smiled at her.

"When I have the baby in September. It could be earlier or later than the date the doctors told me though. "I replied.

"I want a baby." Jane suddenly said. James and I were gaping at her. She didn't know what she was talking about. James and I were still gaping until Jane looked at us and we snapped out of it.

Cindy laughed and soon James and I did to. All in all the day was pretty great but there was still an emptiness that I had. It was the missing piece. The part that stayed with Edward when I left.

When we were all done we bid Cindy a farewell in the parking lot. When Cindy was out of sight James went to his car while Jane walked with me-hand in hand- to my car. I buckled Jane in and then I went to the driver's seat and drove off to the apartments.

The whole ride to the apartments was pretty quiet and when I looked back into the review mirror I smiled to see Jane fast asleep. When I made it to the apartment complex James was waiting outside his car and had a smile plastered on his face.

When I got out of my side I went to the back seats and unbuckled Jane. When she was unbuckled James took her out of the car and we walked to our places. It was still light out so James let me in his place. I sat on his couch while he went to put Jane to sleep.

When James came back in I smiled at him until I felt another flutter. My hand's instinctively went to my stomach and I rubbed it.

"What is it?" James asked.

"It's moving again. I suppose I should make another appointment to see the doctor for an ultrasound." I told James.

"What do you want the sex to be?" James asked suddenly. I pondered that. I would want a boy but a girl would do just as well.

"I want a boy." I replied.

"Any names?" James asked.

I nodded.

"For a girl I would name her Mary Elizabeth Cullen." I said with a nod.

"Cullen?" James asked while quirking an eyebrow.

"Yeah, that's the father's last name." I said with a shrug.

"What about a boy name?"

I shrugged.

"I'm not sure. I can't think of one that would suit it well." I told him.

I suddenly felt another flutter and I quickly grabbed James hand and placed it gently on my stomach while the fluttering continued.

"Did you feel that?" I asked.

James shook his head.

"Maybe it was to small of a movement for me to feel." James suggested with a shrug.

"Yeah maybe it is." I replied disappointed. It was quiet for a while before I broke the silence.

"I should go now, it's getting late and I should schedule an appointment for the doctor's tomorrow. " I told him softly.

James nodded his head slowly and I smiled at him. I left the apartment and then headed to my own.

Once I was safely in my apartment I locked the door and then went to dress for bed. When I was done I went to make the appointment tomorrow. I talked quickly to a woman over the phone and she scheduled my appointment for twelve o'clock. When that was done I went back to my room and climbed into my bed. I had recently acquired the habit of sleeping on my side, thanks' to the baby.

I smiled as the bed hugged my body and sighed in comfort. I quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Edward's point of view.

"Edward!" I heard a voice call. I groaned and pulled my head under the covers of my bed.

"Edward! Wake up. Today's the big day. Graduation!" I heard Esme say.

I immediately got up. I began getting dressed in a gray checkered shirt with a matching bomber jacket that Alice insisted that I wear and then my pants. When I was ready I threw on my cap and gown and went downstairs.

When I walked down Esme, Carlisle, and my mom were sitting on the couches talking until I walked down and they noticed me. I smiled.

"Oh my, Edward! You look marvelous." Esme said.

"Thank you, Esme." I replied while going to sit with them.

We began talking until Alice came down in a red dress with her cap and gown over it. Suddenly Esme got up and went somewhere but when she came back she had a camera In hand.

"Picture time!" Esme said.

I hunched in my seat hoping Esme wouldn't subject me to it but she did.

"Edward, come on. Don't think I can't see you." Esme said.

I laughed. I got up and went to where Alice was standing and then we positioned ourselves for a picture.

Esme snapped a few and then when she was satisfied we all headed to our cars for the school where graduation was being held. Alice and I were taking my Volvo and Esme, Carlisle, and my mom were taking the Mercedes.

I was pretty happy about graduating but not in the same way as Alice, Rosalie, Emmett, or Jasper was.

"Edward, aren't you excited?" Alice asked while bouncing in her seat.

"Yeah." I replied with a grin.

"Everyone's going to be there, even at the party tonight." Alice said. I turned to look at her with a quirked eyebrow.

"What party?" I asked.

Alice rolled her eyes.

"Where has you mind been? The one tonight at our place for graduation." Alice said.

My head had been making plans over the last four months till now. I had been planning on getting Bella back and that was what I was going to do. I was going to leave tonight no matter what the others told me. They said wait till you graduate and so I did but I'm not waiting anymore.

The ride to the school was fast and when we got there Alice ran to Jasper. I kept walking until I saw Emmett and Rosalie by the gym doors where the ceremony was being held. Next to Emmett was Charlie who was giving me the death glare. Ever since Bella left I assumed he knew but he never spoke to me about a thing. I sighed and headed into the gym to sit for the ceremony.

The gym floor was lined in chairs for the students while the parents were to sit in the bleachers. When the ceremony began Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett came to sit in the row where I was.

When the principal began calling names Alice kept fidgeting in her seat. I laughed and Jasper had to calm her down. I sighed as the names went on.

"Edward Cullen!"

"Alice Cullen!"

When the administrators called mine and Alice's name a cheer of shouts came out from the crowd. I shrugged it off and went up to get my diploma with Alice trailing behind me. When we returned to our seat's Jasper and Rosalie were called up.

"Jasper Hale!"

"Rosalie Hale!"

Another Cheer erupted.

"Go Rose!" Yelled Emmett followed by Alice's "Go Jasper!"

I laughed along with Emmett and Alice. When Rosalie and Jasper returned few more names were called until they finally called Emmett's.

"Emmett Swan!"

Another cheer of shouts and screams went off as Rosalie yelled "Go Baby!"

We all began laughing again as Emmett bowed to the principal as he received his diploma. Leave it to Emmett to make our graduation a joke.

When the ceremony ended I was enveloped in a hug by Alice who had tears streaming down her face like Rosalie.

"We did it Edward! School's over." She said to me as she squeezed the life out of me.

"Yeah we did do it." I replied before we were broken up by a tear struck Esme.

Esme hugged Alice first then me.

"Congratulations Edward!" Esme said.

"Thank you." I told her.

I was next congratulated by Carlisle.

"You did well Edward. I'm proud of you." Carlisle said with a pat on my back.

I nodded at him and then I got to the final person. My mom.

She had tears running down her face as well.

"Edward I am so proud of you. I love you." She told me while hugging me.

"Thank you." I replied.

I hugged her for a few moments before letting her go and going to Carlisle when Alice called me over to her so the group could take pictures with each other. I walked over to them and the flashes went off. I almost went blind from so much of the flashes that went off.

When they finished I went into the Volvo with Alice and we headed home with everyone else following us home. We were going to start decorating for the party before the guests arrived.

As soon as we got home everyone rushed into the house and we began decorating. While we had the party the adults were all going to dinner and some other unknown places that Carlisle wouldn't tell us about.

I began putting up the huge banner that read 'Congratulations!' on it with the help of Emmett. Emmett and I were on good terms now but I knew better than to mention Bella to him. After that was done we headed to help the girls get food and other things done. We finished everything in a matter of a few hours. When we were done Rosalie began playing the music as the guests began arriving.

Everything looked great since Alice was the boss of decorating, much to Rosalie's dismay.

As guests began to arrive the house began to fill up. People were dancing, while others messed around or drank. Alice had put up tons of different lights and it really made a difference. At one point I went upstairs and began to pack to proceed my plan. I was going to look for Bella weather it killed me or not. Esme and Carlisle were prepared for this and they supported me in it. They gave me a credit card for my travels but I would have to say to tell Alice when I'm leaving so I wouldn't worry Esme or Carlisle.

I packed up most of my belongings and when I was nicely packed I went back down to the party to talk with Jasper and the people I know when I was met with Tanya.

"Hey Edward." She cooed. I cringed at the sound of her voice.

"Hello Tanya." I replied politely. Ever since the school found out about Bella leaving Tanya had been coming onto me.

"Want to dance?" She asked. I groaned. I suddenly felt a tugging on my arm and I was about to tell Tanya to let me go but I surprised to see it was Alice.

"Alice I owe you." I told her when we were far from Tanya.

"Yes you do and I know how you can repay me." She said with a devilish smile.

"And what is that my sister?" I asked.

She began leading me to the dance floor and I smirked.

"Dance with me." She said. We were now on the dance floor and Alice was dancing to the music. I stood awkwardly in the dance floor until Alice grabbed my hands and made me dance with her. When Alice let my hands fall to my sides I continued dancing with her. When the song ended Jasper came and took my place. I willingly left and then Rosalie motioned for me to go to her so I did.

"Edward can you help me with Emmett?" Rosalie asked.

"What's wrong with Emmett?" I asked.

"He's drunk. People brought beer and he's now wasted and I need your help to get him upstairs before he does something idiotic." Rosalie said. I nodded my head and followed her to the back yard where Emmett was making a fool of himself. He was drunk and staggering while trying to dance to the hokey pokey. Not a good combination.

"Emmett! Come on." I told him as Rose and I grabbed his arms and swung them over our shoulders to support him from falling.

"Edward! My man!" Emmett bellowed.

We had trouble getting Emmett upstairs but we eventually made it.

"Hey Edward did Bella tell you the news?" Emmett asked me.

"No. What news Emmett?" I asked.

"You're going to be a daddy!" He said followed by a burp.

I gaped at him.

"Emmett what do you mean I'm going to be a daddy?" I asked panicking.

Emmett didn't say anything else though because suddenly Rosalie hopped on top of him and began kissing him. I yanked them apart and grabbed Rosalie.

"Rose what is he talking about?" I demanded.

She looked at me obviously pissed.

"Nothing. He's drunk." Rose said.

"God damn it! Rose please! Tell me, I know there's something." I pleaded.

"Nothing." She said.

I couldn't take it. I looked to Emmett but he was passed out.

"Rose just tell me." I told her.

Rosalie sighed.

"Fine! Bella's pregnant with your child. That's why she left." Rosalie said while looking down at the ground.

No. She would have told me. She wouldn't have left without telling me. Would she?

"Rose do you know where she is?" I asked.

She shook her head.

"She's only called once since she left. Charlie, Emmett and I are the only ones who know. Bella wasn't going to tell me but Emmett convinced her to let him tell me." She confessed.

I ran a hand through my hair.

"I got to go." I told her as I got my suitcase and ran out the door. I ignored the party and flew out the front door ignoring the yell from Rosalie for me to stop. I got in my Volvo and took off. I was going to bring Bella back.

A/N: Wow! Am I good or what?? I had a smile on my face throughout this whole chapter. My sister walked in on me while writing and she said I looked stupid with a goofy smile on my face. Ha Ha. This chapter is to a new year and new memories! I hope this was a pleasing chapter! Next Chapter will be good to. The song for this Chapter is I ran by A flock of seagulls. I thought it would fit E pov for the part where Tanya is coming on to Edward. I don't I just thought it would be funny. Also you gotta love Emmett when he's drunk. Ha Ha. I find it funny how Bella's graduation was so plain compared to Edwards. Also, I want feedback! Good Chapter or Bad Chapter? I need opinions! Well anyways happy Early New year to all. Muah.
