AN: Thank you to all my readers and reviewers for all your kind words. And just know there will be a surprise and happy twist in this chapter AND the next chapter.

BELLA'S POV:

Breakfast with Charlie was really nice. We sat and talked about work and school and he asked questions about me and the baby. It was almost like we were back to normal. Then he asked a question that threw me for a loop.

"So, does Edward know about the baby?" He asked.

I looked up kinda shocked. I didn't expect him to ask THAT. He hadn't even mentioned Edward since I told him Edward had left.

I kinda looked down and silently told him "No, not yet."

He looked at me. "Well, are you PLANNING on telling him?"

I looked at him. "Yes, absolutely. I'm just gonna wait until after the baby's born to tell him."

He suddenly put down his coffee and utensils and looked at me.

"Bella, you have to tell him before then. You can't cheat him out of the most wonderful moment of his life."

"What moment's that dad?" I asked.

"Seeing the birth of his son or daughter. There's no greater moment in any mans' life. Believe me." He said as he lightly touched my hand.

I honestly never felt closer to him than at this moment.

I smiled at him and said "OK, dad, I promise, I'll tell him soon. In fact I'll tell him right after new years ok?"

"OK." He said with a smile.

The rest of the month passed pretty quiet.

When Christmas rolled around we had Jacob and Billy come celebrate with us. It was really nice.

I gave Jacob a part for the Rabbit he'd been needing for a long time, he gave me a really nice bracelet he said that one of the reservation elders had made, I gave Charlie a new gun cleaning kit, Charlie gave me a photo album to put my photos of me and the baby in, Mom had sent me a lot of baby clothes, Charlie gave Billy a new jacket and Billy gave Charlie a new fishing pole.

After we all opened presents and ate Jacob and I sat in the kitchen and talked while Charlie and Billy watched the game.

"So, have you made a choice yet?" Jacob asked randomly.

I quickly put my head down, tucked a piece of hair behind my ear and lightly smiled and laughed.

"Actually yeah Jacob, I have." I said.

He smiled and took my hand.

"Who did you choose?" He asked.

I was about to tell him when there was a knock at the door.

Jacob and I saw that Billy and Charlie were so wrapped up in the game that they didn't hear the knock.

Jacob looked at me and said "Hold that thought. I'll get the door."

He jumped from the stool and walked over and opened the door. Suddenly I saw his face drop.

Suddenly he said "Get the hell out and never come back."

This was weird, even for Jacob. I immediately jumped up to see who was at the door.

My jaw almost hit the floor. There, standing in the doorway with a HUGE bow wrapped around her waist, was Alice Cullen!

She just smiled and lifted her arms for a hug and said "Merry Christmas!"

I immediately wrapped her in a big hug. This was far better then any gift I could have gotten.

Jacob suddenly told his dad he wasn't feeling good and had to get home. So him and Billy left.

'Obvious enough Jake?'

After they left I took Alice upstairs.

I shut the door and sat down.

"OK, first question for you: Why are you here?" I asked.

Alice came over and sat down next to me on the bed.

"I had a vision of you giving birth. And since this baby will practically be my niece or nephew I wanted to come home and help you out as much as I can. I'll help you find an affordable place, help you buy baby stuff, and help you the first few months until you're on you feet ok?" She said with a huge smile on her face the whole time.

"Of course you can help me Alice. And you're welcome here as long as you want." I said as I hugged her.

"OK Alice, second question: Did you tell HIM?" I asked not sure how I wanted her to answer.

"No, not yet. I told everyone I missed you and so I was going to visit you for a while. I figured you wanted to be the one to tell him." She said with a smile.

"Thank you Alice. Yes, I want to tell him myself." I said with a smile.

"So, you have to fill me in on what's been going on the past few months." She said as she jumped up and down on my bed.

We talked and laughed about the last few months for the next few hours. At about 9:00 that night Charlie came up and told us that he had made up the couch for Alice and he was going to bed.

Alice thanked him and we both told him good night and exchanged Merry Christmas'. After he left me and Alice shared silent laughs.

'Oh dad, if you only knew.' I thought.

Around 12 I started feeling my exhaustion.

Alice saw it and stood up.

"I'll let you get some sleep. After all you need to take care of that niece or nephew that I'm going to start spoiling tomorrow." She said.

I chuckled as I stood up and hugged her.

"It's so great to have you back Alice." I said.

"Great to be back." She said as she walked out.

As soon as she left my phone rang from a text.

I picked it up and saw it was Jacob.

'How long is she here for?'

I texted back 'As long and she wants'

'Are there more coming back?'

'I don't think so.'

'Ok, I'll still be by, but not as much.'

I was texting him back when another text popped in.

'And who was your choice.'

So I replied back 'OK and I'll tell you next time you come by.'

He texted back 'OK, and goodnight.'

I then put my phone down, got in my pajamas and crawled into bed.

And once again I fell asleep rubbing my now 4 month big belly.

YEA! ALICE IS BACK! Does this mean more Cullens or what? Also will Jacob continue to be a jerk or will he redeem himself? You want me to write that next chapter and tell you guys you know what to do. PUSH THAT BUTTON PEOPLE!
