Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or the Characters, but I am borrowing them ;)

A/N: Alright guys when I first started this story it was taking place at that specific time (January) but unfortunately I was a slacker (SOO sorry again by the way) so I'm continuing the story so everything makes sense so as of this chapter it would be May right now, I hope you don't mind. If you have any questions feel free to message me.

On a lighter note I added pictures on my profile of how I picture everyone to look. Check it out! It was a lot of fun for me! :)

Here's chapter 10! Enjoy.

Bella's POV:

1 month later

I woke up to the sound of my alarm. My clock read 6:30, why did they make public school's start so early? I mean were they trying to kill us? Thank god we would start reviewing soon for finals.

Once I finally had enough energy to get out of bed I stumbled to my Calendar and X'ed off another day. Today was May 11th which meant I was now 5 months pregnant! It was going by so fast! It felt like just yesterday me and Edward were driving to my first appointment. Over spring break Edward and I bought a handful of things for Ava.

A few weeks ago Edward brought up the name Ava and I instantly fell in love with it as did he. We still haven't picked out a middle name but we still had some time.

After getting out of the shower and changing in my school clothes I lathered my belly with lotion.

"How are you doing in there Ava?" I asked looking down at my stomach.

I quickly jumped when I felt two quick kicks from Ava.

"Oh my god!" I yelled probably a little too loud because Emmett came running in my room eyes wide.

"What's wrong?" He asked quickly scanning me making sure I was okay.

"Nothing, Ava kicked for the first time!" I smiled with my hand on my belly.

"Really!" Emmett asked quite excited.

Over the past month everyone has been getting so involved and everyone already held so much love for Ava. She was going to be one spoiled little girl. I smiled at the thought.

"Oh! She's kicking again!" I squealed.

Emmett quickly got on his knees reaching his hand up to where mine was.

I quickly removed my hand and put his over the spot where Ava was just kicking. Within a few seconds she began kicking again causing Emmett's eyes to go wide again with a smile on his face.

"Hi Ava, I don't know if you can hear me but I'm your uncle Emmett." Emmett whispered to my belly. Ava kicked in return.

"Whoa, it's like she actually heard me!" Emmett said looking up to me.

"Of course she can you big goof." I laughed at Emmett. Not that it was a stupid question since I asked it at my last doctor's appointment, but he didn't have to know.

After Ava stopped kicking and I was ready for school, Edward came to pick me up with Jelly filled donuts in hand. They were my newest craving and my wonderful boyfriend would get me them whenever I had a craving, although he can sometimes go a little over board. Last week he almost tackled some poor guy for the last one at dunkin' donuts even though I told him I would be okay.

"Thank you babe!" I said as I ran and picked up a donut.

"What? No kiss?" Edward smirked.

"Sorry I'm just so hungry!" I said giving Edward a kiss then finished my delicious donut.

"You ready?" He asked picking up my backpack.

"Mhmm" I said as I chewed on my second donut walking out the front door.

Once we were on our way to school I glanced at Edward who was driving. He had a worried look on his face.

"What's wrong babe?" I asked rubbing the outside of my hand against his cheek.

"It's just Alice." He let out his breath. "She's barley home anymore and when she is she has this wall up and doesn't even want to talk to me." He continued."I just miss my sister." He frowned

"I know babe, I miss her too. She'll come around eventually." I retorted.

He smiled at me then turned back with his worried expression. Edward took everything to heart and if he kept this up he'd have a full head of grey hair by 25.

Once we got to school and got out of the car we automatically saw Alice stumbling then fall to the ground around the group of people James hangs out with although James was know where to be seen. Edward and I quickly ran to help her. As Edward helped her up I saw one of them drop a blunt and quickly step on it to put it out. Good thing Edward didn't see it.

"You okay?" Edward asked worriedly helping Alice up to her feet.

"I'm fine just let go of me." Alice whined but was obviously weak.

"You smell like fucking pot Alice, have you been smoking?" Edward asked sternly.

"Why do you care?" Alice spat back making eye contact with Edward for the first time.

"And your eyes are bloodshot. What the hell is going on with you Alice?" His tone turned worried.

I felt a hand grab my shoulder and I turned around to see it was Jacob. He had a frown on his face. I looked behind Jacob to see Rosalie and Jasper watching intently as well.

I turned back to see Alice trying to stumble her way to school practically falling over. Thank god Edward was there to catch her this time.

"I'm going to take her home" Edward said looking at me.

I just nodded, knowing he had to be there for Alice.

"I'll pick you up after school" He said giving me a forced smile as he helped Alice into his car then sped out of the school parking lot.

"Come on let's get to class." Jacob said placing his arm around my shoulder.

Thankfully James wasn't in class either.

The whole day went by as a blur. I was really worried about Alice. She's worse than she was last time her and James were together.

At lunch I looked around at my group of friends. Jasper didn't even talk, but I knew he felt this was somehow his fault when in reality it wasn't. He was right to break up with Alice. They needed space. What she did was horrible, but today was a great example that they were both at their best when they were together. If only Alice could see that.

I looked at Rosalie, she was hurting because she was slowly losing her best friend. Growing up Rosalie and Alice where the closest to each other, but that was okay with me. I loved them both the same as the others but I was just closer to Edward and Jacob.

When I looked at Jacob he had hopefulness in his eyes. I'm sure he felt he had to be the strong one right now. He's had a tough past. When we were five, his mother left Jacob and Billy taking Jacob's three sisters with her. Jacob and Billy didn't hear from them for years until Rachel came back pregnant and alone. She said they were always moving to different places and the first chance she got she left them, not knowing she was pregnant at the time. She was able to buy a plane ticket and move back in with Jacob and Billy. Although Jacob wasn't very close with Rachel he had so much love for Claire. He was practically her father. At times Rachel would leave Claire with Jacob and Billy for weeks at a time. She wasn't ready to be a mother and still to this day hasn't given Claire the love she deserved.

The rest of the day couldn't go by slower. I missed Edward, and I hoped Alice was okay. I knew she was fine in the sense of how high and probably drunk she was, I was just nervous how she was mentally. What was James doing to her? She has always been the toughest girl out of me and Rose. She never let anyone walk over her or any of us for that matter.

It was finally the afternoon and I was walking out to the parking lot to wait for Edward to pick me up. Thankfully it was Friday, I have been so exhausted lately and I need to catch up on sleep for me and Ava.

I had no reason to hide my pregnancy anymore. Everyone knew now after the incident a few months ago with Jessica. Although I was angry and upset I couldn't let others actions run my life. Of course I hear whispers and see people staring when I walk by but I just keep walking with my head held high. For the first time in my life, it felt like I have grown a back bone.

I finally made my out to the parking lot and spotted Edward waiting outside of his car. When I made it to him he gave me a quick kiss and opened the passenger door for me.

"How was the rest of your day?" Edward said as we drove out of the parking lot.

"Boring, but okay. I got all of the assignments that you missed." I smiled.

"Thank you." He smiled back.

"So how is Alice?" My curiosity got the better of me.

"She's better now, I guess her and James got into an argument last night and was drinking with her new friends all night…" Edward trailed off.

"Oh man. Yeah, James wasn't at school either." I added.

"Alice said he had 'stuff' to do but was taking her out tonight to talk. Some of the things Alice told me were horrible. She is finally seeing he's the exact same guy he was two years ago." Edward said.

"She's gonna break up with him!" I couldn't believe it.

"That's what she said… But knowing James, it won't be the end of him. We are all gonna have to keep an eye out." He said seriously.

"Of course." I smiled, for once everything was falling back into place although Edward still had worry written all over his face.

"I saw Jacob before you got to the parking lot. He invited us over later. He's babysitting Claire once again since his Dad has to go to one of Rachel's work dinners." Edward said changing the subject.

"Yeah sounds like fun. I miss Claire." I said truthfully causing Edward to slip his hand in mine on the center counsel.

"Me too." He smiled in return.

When we got to Edward's house Alice was laying on the living room sofa.

"How you feeling Alice?" I asked sitting down next to her.

"Okay, got a killer headache but it's getting better." She said giving me a small grin.

"You know I'm here for you, always." I said grabbing her hand.

"I know, I'm sorry I've been such a bitch lately." She apologized.

"We've missed you." I smiled.

"I've missed you all too, but I'm sure Jasper doesn't want anything to do with me." She frowned.

"That's not true. I think he feels all of this was his fault." I shrugged my shoulders.

"WHAT! How could he think that!" She seemed flabbergasted.

"Alice, don't worry about this now." Edward cut in.

"Ugh!" Alice said before slumping down more into the couch.

"When are you going to end it with James?" I asked.

"Well he's picking me up at 6, so I'll tell him tonight." She looked nervous.

"That's around the time me and Bella are going to Jake's but if you need anything call me." Edward said sternly.

"Okay." Alice said.

Me and Edward just hung around the house until it was time to go to Jake's. Edward rubbed my belly for what felt like hours. We must have fallen asleep because we woke up to Alice opening Edward's bedroom door saying she was leaving.

Edward and I gave her a reassuring hug telling her to be strong. Edward reminded her to call if she needed anything.

Minutes after, me and Edward decided to head to Jake's house.

The day had been so crazy I almost forgot to tell Edward about Ava kicking for the first time.

"She did! And I missed it!" Edward sounded upset.

"Don't worry Edward she seems like quite the kicker. Maybe she'll be a soccer player just like you!" I said trying to lighten the mood.

When we approached a red light Edward turned to my belly. "Ava, if you can hear me can you please kick?" Edward said lightly poking my belly then resting his free hand on it.

Second later there where two little kicks against Edward's hand.

"Oh my god, she's smart like her dad too!" He laughed. I just gave him a death stare.

"And like her mother too." He saved himself.

I just laughed back.

We finally made it to Jake's house. When we walked in we saw Jacob sitting on the couch with his head in his hands with Claire looking worried.

"No cry Jakey, no cry." Claire said trying to grab Jacob's hands away from his face.

Jacob grabbed Claire and put her on his lap holding her close so she couldn't see his face. He then looked in our direction allowing us to see his face for the first time.

My heart sank. He had definitely been crying, and that was a first. I never once in my life have seen him cry, not even when his mother left.

Edward must have been just as surprised as me because he tightened his grasp around my hand.

"There's been an accident." Was all Jacob could choke out.
