BPOV
So as it sat, two months ago Lauren was tried for attacking a pregnant woman, me. She was jailed for a month... She hadn't murdered me or the baby so she didn't get serious time, but the court had realized that because it was attempted murder of us two, the baby and I... she would get two sentences of attempted murder. So now instead of a month she was sentenced to a full twenty-five years without the chance of parole. I am now six months pregnant... and I was truly getting really, really large. Everyone noticed. Today I was on a date with Edward, feeling very, very uncomfortable... not being here, but my size. I knew he wouldn't care either way if I was skinny or fat, but still, I felt very uncomfortable looking as big as I did.
Edward sat me on a bench, and what shocked me the most was him taking my hand in his and the question that came afterwards. "Bella would you move in with me? I want to live with you when the children are born, so they know where their home is." My mouth dropped with a pop.
"I would love to Edward, but it's not just up to me. Charlie still is my legal guardian."
"No he isn't. You're eighteen now."
"Yes, I know that... but I am still in school." Edward smiled at me.
"Actually... Bella.. to be honest, your dad already knows about this. Carlisle talked to him about it and your father agreed as long as you and the kids come over often." I nodded. They had already talked to my father about this? I smiled as I looked at him, saying my answer to his question
"We will. I am happy to be living with you Edward.. but where are we going to put the nursery?" I asked.
"There is a room right next to mine. It's big enough for eight babies if that were possible for us." I laughed, shaking my head.
"Ok, but let's hope not eight. I couldn't handle that." He nodded.
"I agree with you. None of us could handle that." I felt Edward place his hands on the side of my face and I watched him as he leaned closer. His lips touched mine and I was happy. This lips were cool, smooth, and as gentle as a butterfly's wings. The feel of his cool lips moving against mine was fantastic and passionate. Edward pulled back from the kiss after a while, his eyes glazed over in pure happiness and he leaned downwards and began talking to my stomach, after placing a kiss on the peak of it. "Hello baby, it's daddy." I felt a sliding motion and that startled me. The baby moved regularly, but this was the first time with Edward. "What is it Bella?"
"The baby is moving." His eyes widened and he smiled, immediately moving his hands onto my stomach and he marveled at the movement he felt and probably could hear.
"I can't wait to live with you my sweet, sweet Bella."
"And I can't wait to live with you, my angel." After our moment here on the bench, Edward helped me up, guiding me towards the restaurant where we had our very first meal together, Bella Italia. And as usual I ordered my mushroom ravioli while Edward just sat there, not eating, but instead wanting to romantically feed me my food. I was laughing as he was doing this and as the bystanders in the restaurant were watching this, becoming jealous that I was pregnant with his baby and about how hot be was. I obviously couldn't read minds, but their thoughts put out in the open, but I didn't really care much.
After that, I went home and began to pack. Charlie wasn't home yet and Edward was helping me. So far we had my two dressers done, we were so pre-occupied getting everything done that when we looked up everything was gone and there was a letter on my old bed.
We got everything home and placed where I saw you and Edward would like it,
Alice.
"Thank you Alice." I murmured to myself. Edward looked at me and nodded.
"Yes, I will have to thank her somehow..." That's when Charlie pulled in. I looked at Edward and we smiled at each other, but then I looked down, feeling a little ashamed. "What's wrong Bella?" I shook my head, but he hooked his finger under my chin, angling my head to look up at him. "Please?" I sighed.
"I just feel bad for leaving him. He gave up a lot of his extra time to care for me when this happened and now I'm leaving as if it doesn't matter. I'm not saying I don't want to move in with you, because I do, I just worry about him being on his own." Edward nodded.
"You're not just abandoning him Bella. You'll still be able to come here whenever you like." Edward looked up. "Charlie wants to order pizza with you before you go. I'd love to join you two if that's alright with him." I nodded and I ran downstairs and when he saw me, we hugged.
"Hey Bells... how do you feel about ordering some pizza and we can eat and chat." And that's what we did. My father ordered two cheese and pepperoni pizzas with marinara sauce and we talked about just everything, even Edward and Charlie got a good conversation in. After we all finished eating and chatting Edward and I knew it was time to head home and we got up, as Charlie insisted on walking us to the door. Without warning he pulled me into a hug.
"I'm going to miss you dad, but don't worry, I will visit often." Charlie chuckled.
"I sure hope so. I love you Bells."
"I love you dad." After moving out and moving in to Edward's things seemed to have less tension. It was nice. I could lay in bed in the morning and not have to worry about making breakfast for anyone except myself and the kid, but of course, Edward being Edward he would always have breakfast done before I woke. Creating the nursery was a blast. It was so beautiful. Blue paint, a mahogany crib, and a beige carpet.
After being there for a while I noticed that I was able to sleep better because Sleeping in Edward's arms was like sleeping on cloud nine. He would talk to the child as if he or she were right here. He would kiss my stomach and every time it caused the baby to move. And he would rub my back or rub circles on my stomach when I was uncomfortable. I was going to see the doctor soon and one thing I can tell you, we, Edward and I, including his family are happy that we all will be one great big family.
