A/N: I know ya'll must be ready to off me by now. I know it's been more than forever since last chapter. I'll explain more at the bottom. Now on with the show. And yes, it is a short one, but I did not want to make anyone wait anylonger. So sorry for that.

Few days later

BPOV

I couldn't believe how fucking hot I was all the time. This pregnancy was killing me. I had lost count of how many cool showers I'd had the past couple days. I was literally melting away and my appetite was at an all time low, making everyone worried about me and the baby. I stepped out of the shower and walked over to the mirror. I stared at my growing belly. I was really showing now. I touched my boobs, lifting them up and making a cleavage. The one good thing about pregnancy; huge boobs. I let go of them and looked at my face. Whenever I saw the state of my face I wanted to cry. The baby was giving me really bad skin, I looked like a hormonal teenager with a really bad acne problem. I'd always been proud of my good skin.

I sighed and washed my face with some anti-bacterial face soap. I'd been trying everything to deal with the breakouts. Drying off my face I noticed new pimples. Close to tears, I reached out for my new makeup kit. I refused to let anyone see me like this, so I'd had to go out and buy shit that could cover up the imperfections. I especially refused to let Edward see me like this. The man was fuck hot and looking better than ever.

I finished applying the makeup and walked out of my bathroom. Digging through my underwear drawer I looked at all my sexy lingerie that no longer fit me, feeling a little nostalgic. Pulling out mammoth sized bra and panties, I quickly closed the drawer and tried to think of something else. Since everyone had pretty much forced me to stop working for the time being, I didn't bother with dressing fancy. In fact, for the past few days I had done everything in my power to dress like a hobo.

I had convinced Emmett to bring me some of his basketball outfits. He was easily twice my size so I was drowning in these clothes. You couldn't tell I was pregnant unless you knew it. Yes I was hiding. This thing with Edward was scaring me a little, and hiding in plain sight like that made me feel a tiny bit better. Alice was on my case for wearing Emmett's clothes, but the shorts went down to my calves and the jersey went to my knees. Perfect.

I picked up my laptop form my desk and brought it with me to the kitchen. It was late enough in the day for Edward to be at work, and I had the house to myself. I set down the computer on the kitchen table and booted it up, then turned around to the kettle to heat up water for a tea. I looked in the fridge for something edible, but nothing was striking my fancy. Sighing I settled for a banana. That would have to tie me over until I figured out what I was in the mood to eat.

Bringing the banana and tea over to the table, I sat down in front of the computer. Starting off slow, I surfed all the online gossip rags. I might be out of the game for a little while, but that didn't mean I shouldn't keep an eye on Hollywood. I was after all still a part of the scene. Just on a slight break from it all. Sometimes it just paid off knowing who did what, and who did who in the land of the famous. What I saw on one of the rags made me splutter my tea all over myself. "Shit!" I exclaimed both to what I saw on the screen and to spilling my tea.

Running back to my room to change, I dug out my phone and dialed a number I knew by heart. It went straight to voice mail. "Damn it!" I didn't leave any messages, instead I called my office.

Angela answered on the second ring, "Bella! Thank goodness you called! The phone has been ringing off the hook all morning!" She sounded a little out of breath.

"Have you talked to anyone, Angela? Have you been giving any statements?" I couldn't wrap my head around this just yet. It was too early in the day for me, and my hormones were playing with me. I was probably overreacting.

"Oh no. I've just been saying 'no comment'. But we will have to release some kind of statement or something."

"I know, Ang. I know. But I don't want to do anything just yet. Can you please get hold of both of them and have them come over to my place? I have to talk to them before we say anything to anyone."

Hanging up the phone I looked down at myself. Tea stain, it would be impossible to get out unless I soaked the clothes right away. I undressed and walked to the laundry room in only bra and underwear. I was alone in the house, so I didn't worry about walking around half-naked. I had just turned on the washing machine, and was about to walk back to my room to re-dress, when I heard the front door open. "Bella?" Edward called my name.

Shit! "Uh... In the laundry room, but don't come in!" I hid behind the door, but peeked from behind it and looked at Edward. Seeing me poking my head from the laundry room, Edward laughed at the sight. "What?"

He reigned in his laughter and looked at me with amusement still clear in his eyes. "Nothing."

"Uh-huh. Can you please leave so I can get to my room?" I was not about to walk to my room dressed in nothing but bra and panties. My figure was history and the underwear was anything but sexy.

"Oh come, babe, you've been sleeping in my bed every night for a week now. It's not like I haven't seen you." Edward grinned wickedly at that.

"It's not the same thing..."

"Bella, you have nothing to be ashamed of. You look gorgeous."

I snorted at that. "I look like an elephant, thank you very much!"

Edward sighed, amusement gone from his face. "What are you talking about? You're carrying my child, and you look amazing. I love seeing the baby grow inside you." He took a step closer to where I was standing. "I know you won't agree, but Bella, you look sexy as hell!"

EPOV

Bella looked dubiously at me, clearly not believing me. It was silly of her to hide behind a fucking door. It looked like I would have to make use of my talent of negotiation to get her out of the laundry room. "Bella, you're one sexy mama! Even five months pregnant, you turn heads. You certainly turn my head. And you turn me on." I inched closer. She was thinking about what I was saying, and she was skittish like a deer. Any sudden movement from me would scare her off.

I raised my hand slowly and let my thumb caress her cheek. Bella looked me in the eyes, doubt still present in hers. I leaned forward and kissed her softly on her lips before I pulled back a little to continue talking to her. "Bella, you look gorgeous. Men would kill to be seen with you." She snorted at my last statement. Maybe I took it a little far with that one.

"Fine! I'll come out. But I'm wearing the worlds' most hideous underwear. I'm warning you because I don't want you laughing at me." She pointed her index finger at my nose. I just nodded, willing to agree to anything to get her out of there.

Bella took tentative steps out of the laundry room, and I felt my knees go weak when I saw her. Her bra was white cotton with red polka-dots on. And her ass was covered in matching boy-shorts that covered the lower part of her belly. It was the red polka-dots that did me in. If she walked around wearing nothing but that, I would be her willing slave. Unable to keep my hands off of her, I picked Bella up one arm supporting her back and the other under her knees. I ran off with Bella to her bedroom before she was even done shrieking in surprise.

"Edward! What the hell?" Bella yelled, a little pissed off with me. I just grinned and put her down on her bed.

"You're one sexy mama, Bella. And this underwear?" Instead of trying to explain to her how sexy she was, I kissed her. In moments Bella deepened the kiss. It didn't take much to turn her on these days. Pulling back from the kiss, I gave her a light peck on her lips before I kissed my way down to her polka-dot covered breasts. They were now big enough so that I could nuzzle my face between them. Heaven. Giving her boobs enough attention, I continued to kiss my way down to her belly where my baby was resting. The idea that my child was growing in there floored me. I looked up at Bella's face while I left small pecks all over her belly, and her eyes were misty. I wondered what she was thinking.

"Oh shit!" Bella sat suddenly up, pushing me off of her. "You made me almost forget!"

"Forget what?"

Bella scrambled off the bed and ran into her closet. "Alice and Jasper are coming over. They really messed it up."

"Right! That's what I actually came over to talk to you about." How could I have forgotten?

Bella poked her head out, wearing a tight t-shirt. "I'm guessing you've seen the gossip rags too?"

I laid back on her bed and adjusted myself. Our little make-out session had left me hard. "Yeah, it's not really a big deal. It just needs to be dealt with. These rags always make these things to be a bigger deal than they really are."

"I know. I've had to deal with these idiots more than enough." Bella was standing at the foot of her bed looking down on me, both hands on her hips. With her black t-shirt and black yoga-pants, it was hard to tell she was pregnant from the front. I sat up and scratched my chin, making sure I wasn't sporting any drool. The woman was drool worthy and then some.

We just stared at each other when there was a knock on the door. Without a word, Bella turned and walked out of her room to open the front door.

I sighed and got off the bed. It was time to deal with Jasper and Alice. Once they were out of here, I hoped Bella and I could pick back up where we left off. Just the thought of Bella naked on the bed turned me on. Shit! No more naked Bella thoughts. It was hard, heh, but I was going to put that thought on hold.

Following the voices I found everyone in the kitchen. They were all sitting around the table, sombre looks on their faces.

"I can't believe you didn't think about the possibility of being caught by the vultures." Bella looked at them both. "Jasper? Alice?"

Alice's legs were bouncing as she stared at Bella, and Jasper looked tired as hell. I greeted both and sat down next to Bella. I was going to let Bella take point in this conversation. I might be their agent, but she was their manager.

Crossing her arms over her chest, Bella looked both Alice and Jasper in the eyes, "I guess you can imagine my shock this morning when I logged onto the computer to be bombarded with images of you two going at it in an alley."

They both blushed at Bella's directness. Jasper sighed and looked at both me and Bella, "I don't even know how to start defending what we did last night. Honestly, I don't want. There is nothing to defend."

"That's fine, Jasper," I said, "we make no excuses. We still need to say something. You guys need to own up to the photos that are roaming the web like a wildfire. We gotta say something to the press. They will not leave this one alone."

"Bella, this isn't casual with Jasper and me," Alice piped in.

Bella grinned at Alice and leaned forward. "Oh I know that honey. I kinda figured out ages ago that there is something between you guys..."

"And you never said anything?" Alice shrieked.

"It was your secret to spill, not mine," Bella shrugged and leaned back in her chair. Both her hands were resting protectively on her belly as she was looking back and forth between Alice and Jasper.

I looked away from Bella and made eye-contact with Jasper. "You guys were caught, so this all boils down to owning up to what happened, and either make your relationship public or stop seeing each other. I doubt your careers will take any damage from this. My guess is that you've gained a whole new group of fans." Jasper laughed out loud at that and looked somewhat relieved.

We stayed at the kitchen table and tried to word the press release right when there was a loud banging on the door. We weren't expecting anyone else, so I got up and went to the door. On the other side of the front door I found a distressed looking Emmett. "You all right, man?" I asked him.

"Yeah. No. I don't know... Is Bella here?" He looked frantically behind me for Bella.

I sensed Bella behind me before I felt her warm hand on my back. "What's wrong, Em?" she asked as she took in Emmett's appearance.

Emmett was pale and jittery as he took a deep breath. "Me and Rosie went up to Vegas to party. And we got married..."

A/N: Sorry it took more than a month to update Magnetism, but I spent a good chunk of that month to write a oneshot for the Tattward competition. I didn't make the cut, but you can find a link to it in my profile. It is something I will continue when I wrap up Magnetism, so let me know if it's something you like. Writing things takes me a while these days, I suffer from migraines and dizziness and have been on a sickleave since my birthday 3 months ago, so do not expect me to hammer out chapters at any speedy rate.

I know I left you off with a bit of a "huh?" there. But the idea of Em and Rose getting drunkenly married in Vegas was just too funny to pass up on. I want to thank each and every one of you for every favorite, alert and review. Seeing these truly makes me happy. I literally squee. *laughs*
