AN:

So, some of you think Bella shouldn't have forgiven Jake so easily?

The reason I wanted her to forgive him was to show that selfless side of her personality. Also, Her and Jake have been friends for a long time, so there is a lot of trust there, and she deep down knew he would come around, he just needed space.

At least that is what I intended.

Hope that gave you some insight as to why I wrote it that way.

Please go check out my other story : One More Time With Feeling.

And remember, Reviews are simply wonderful!

(I cannot remember if I put it in the stories or not, but Emmett is Alice's and Edward's cousin/ Rosalie's husband.)

20 weeks. It means I am halfway done.

I though I was big before, when I at 16 weeks.

I am really showing now, people are noticing. I was told, the growing increases rapidly from here on out.

Oh joy.

Don't get me wrong, I love my baby more then life its self. I just had major self esteem issues. The fact that I had no control over my size now freaked me out.

Edward loved my belly. Any chance he got, his hands would go to the belly.

We read in some 'what to expect when your expecting' pregnancy magazine that the baby could possibly hear us now. I would read stories to the baby, and Edward would always talk to it every night before bed. He even sang to it when he thought I was sleep.

It was rather endearing.

Jacob was contacting me a bit more, and for that I was thankful. He and I still didn't hang out a lot, but he lived 3 hrs away so it was never easy to get together with him.

Alice was constantly contacting me, trying to figure out baby shower details. At first she wanted to have a joint baby shower. I informed her that with her having twins, plus me having a baby, it would be best to do it separately so we got enough things for the babies. After that Alice was adimate about having separate showered.

Rosalie was having a harder time with everything. I have received at least 2 calls a week with her sobbing on the other end.

"Bella, I don't understand what is wrong with me!" Rose balled into the receiver. "I want a baby so bad, but Emmett and I can't for some reason."

"Have you gotten any.." I paused trying to choose my words carefully. ".. You know, any tests done?"

"I don't know if I can Bella. I think if I found out I was unable to have kids, it would tear me up inside." Rose was never a self concious person, but she was bearing her soul to me now.

"Rose, sweetie, it is better to find out instead of never knowing." I started," you could also find out if there were other options out there for the two of you."

I shook my head, coming out of the memory.

I really felt awful for Rose. She had often told me how she wanted nothing more the to have a child, and I kind of felt like I stole her dream. Rose actually decided that going and getting tests done was a good idea.

They came back good, both her and Emmett were able to have kids, they just needed to try at the right moments. Either that or Emmett was secretly giving rose birth control medicine. Ever since Rose found out nothing was wrong with her, she calmed down on the emotional breakdowns.

Since Edward had moved back, he was able to get promoted to a manager at his coffee shop. It was a big deal, seeing as we needed all the money we could get with the baby coming. He also was now able to get incredible health benefits with his job. They were going to pay for everythingdealing with the baby and doctors.

School was out for the holidays. I received my grades, and was thankful they were good. Only one more semester before I get done with school. I had no plans of going to grad school. I wanted to be an Author and that needed no degree at all, but isn't quite the consistent money bringer. So, getting a degree helped me get a big girl job.

Edward and I were doing great. We were in the waiting room, waiting for our appointment to find out if we were having a boy or a girl. I would love whatever we had. I honestly had no idea and I was very anxious.

"Bella, please calm down. You are making me nervous." Edward chuckled as the placed a hand on my ever bouncing knee.

"Sorry honey. " I bowed my head. "I am just so excited."

"I know." Edward kissed my cheek. "I am too."

"Good." I flashed him my most charming smile.

"Ms. Swan?" A short lady with wild, short permed hair called my name.

Edward and I stood up. He grabbed my hand and pulled me forward.

I don't think I could have moved on my own at this point.

We walked into the room, I lifted up my shirt, over my medium sized preggo belly and lied down on the bed.

"The technician will be in shortly." The red haired woman said in her noisily tone.

I turned my head towards Edward and smiled at him, he grabbed my hand and squeezed it. He looked drained of color and nervous.

A very tall woman with tanned skin and black hair walked in.

"Hello!" She smiled. "I am Emily, I will be your technician today."

Emily squeezed the chilly goo onto my lower abdomen, and swirled the wand around.

"Alright, the baby looks good, heart beat is good." She said moving the wand to a new angle.

"Okay, the baby is perfectly positioned to tell the sex. Would you like to know."

Edward and I only nodded.

"Awesome, well. If its a girl you see in this area," She said pointing to the screen. "A taco."

"A boy is a hot dog. You have hot dog.

"I have a hot dog?" I asked confused.

Then it hit me.

"OH!" I squealed. "Were having a baby boy!"

"Yep." Emily said as she popped the 'p'.

"Now, some technicians would say it is too early to tell the sex. However, I am 99 percent positive that your having a boy. He had his legs spread perfectly, and I could see his third leg very well." She chuckled.

I looked over to Edward who was transfixed on the screen. I squeezed his head and felt my heart swell. I was having a son.

Emily cleaned up the left over goo, and gave us pictures from the ultrasound. Edward remained silient.

The car ride home was almost painfully quiet.

"Tell me what your thinking!" I demanded finally.

Edward looked at me with the most lively look in his eyes I have ever seen. His smile was crooked and he shrugged. "I am at awe, and have nothing to say that could explain what I am feeling."

"AWE!" I said and that made him roll his eyes at me.

I sent out a text to everyone, well Rose and Alice, asking them to meet up sometime this week. They knew I was having my ultra sound today, and were very anxious to see what we were having.

Tonight works for me

-Al.

I got back almost immediately from Alice.

How's tonight sound?

-Rose.

Apparently my friends were very impatient.

Tonight was a good time to get together neither Edward or I had any plans.

"Hey babe, Why don't we get together and tell everyone tonight. "I suggested. "We could have them over, play some rock band and I'll cook dinner for everyone."

"Sure love." Edward agreed. "Lets get you some sleep first."

Tonight, my place. Dinner and rock band, bring the boys.

I shot a response back to Alice and Rose.

We got home and Edward picked me up bridle style, carried me to our bedroom, and placed me gently on the bed.

"I love you." He said as he captured my lips in a passionate kiss. "And I am more then blissful that you are having my son."

That statement made my heart swell.

Edward climbed into bed with me and curled up next to me, placing a hand on my belly.

"Hey baby boy, I love you." He whispered, kissing above my belly button.

I fell fast into a dreamless nap.

"MMM." I moaned against the familiar pair of lips gracing my neck with their soft trail.

"Your awake?" Edward grinned against my neck, moving my kisses to my ear, then my lips.

I eagerly responded his kisses, grabbing his wild bronze tresses in the process. Edward apparently loved this, as he deepened the kiss.

I broke away, looking into his Jade colored eyes. "I have some name Ideas."

His sexy smile turned into a very heart melting one. I could tell with that smile that he loved this baby as much as I do. "Hit me with them."

"Well, the one I love the most is Rayne." I started my list, "And a few others I have thought about are Aden, Alexander, Gabriel, Oliver, Liam, Joel and Hunter."

"Wow, you really have thought of this huh?" Edward chuckled. "What about the middle name, were you just wanting to mesh two of the above together?"

"No, actually, I want the middle name to be a surprise." I looked down to my hands, which were fiddling with the cover.

"Oh." Edward said, sounding slightly disappointed.

"If you don't like if after he is born, you can pick something else." I offered.

Edward smiled.

"I am sure I'll love whatever you pick. I just hate surprises when it comes to my son." He spoke with pride.

"Come on. You have dinner to make for everyone, while I tidy up." Edward got up and yanked the covers off of me.

"HEY!" I squealed.

Edward jumped on top of me, attacking my sides with his fingers.

I started giggling uncontrollably and flailing my limbs like wild.

"Oh... my .. god.. Edwarrddd.. I'm... gunnnaaa peee on youuu!" I giggled out.

Edward jumped off of me and looked at me like I was a leaper. I got up off of the bed and shoved him playfully while sticking my tongue out at him.

"Don't stick your tongue out unless your going to put it to use." Edward teased me.

"EDWARD!" I gasped.

"That is something Emmett would say!" I slapped his shoulder and walked out of the room.

Walk to the fridge, nothing.

Walk to the cabinet, nothing.

Walk back to the fridge, still nothing.

"Edward," I called out throughout the house. "We have nothing to cook."

"Okay, lets just order pizza." He replied, appearing by my side. "They will be here soon anyways."

I looked at him confused.

"Emmett called while you were sleeping." Edward explained.

Knock. Knock.

"You guys better not be naked, cause I am walking in." Emmett boomed.

"In the kitchen, you big ass dork." Edward responded.

Big stalky Emmett stomped into the kitchen, tugging along the beautiful Rosalie. Calming Jasper and perky Alice were following in right behind them.

"So Bells my bestie, How did the dr. appt. go?" Alice spoke up, she new it was an important one, considering she had just found out she was having a boy and a girl last week.

"That's actually why I sent out the invite for you guys to come over." I began. "Edward and I found out the sex."

Alice and Rose squealed.

"We decided to keep it a secrete." I smiled kindly.

"What the fuck Bella?!" Rose looked pissed.

Edward and I busted out laughing.

"I'm only joking with you. We are having a little boy!" I finally told them after I was able to breath again.

"WOO!" Emmett exclaimed, pumping his fist into the air. "Little Emmett jr."

and at that all five of us, minus Emmett burst into tears of laughter.

"Whats so funny?" Emmett asked clueless.

"We love you Emmett, but I am not naming my first child after you." Edward patted his cousin on the shoulder.

"Like hell you aren't. We had a bet ten years ago, and you lost." Emmett was dead serious.

"Okay Em, we can name him after you," I decided to compromise, "As long as you get to carry him for 9 months, puke, and deliver him, I will name him after you."

Emmett though about it for a second. "Nah, I'll pass." He shrugged.
