Chapter 11

Bella

The first day of school was not something that I looked forward to, maybe because every Monday, Wednesday and Friday I had classes from 7:45 in the morning until 3:35 in the evening. Tuesdays and Thursdays I had one night class at 5:30, and it was actually a really nice class to have since it was my art class.

"Hi," A red headed girl sat down next to my in my math class. "Victoria." She said holding out her hand for me to shake.

"Bella," I smiled "sorry if I'm a little out of it I'm so tired." Maybe it was also because Edward and I had sex three times last night I was worn out. Things between us were better, he had taken four days off of work after his accident at work and he's actually been home at a reasonable time to when he went back.

"Same, I was up all night tossing and turning because I was so nervous." She was a gorgeous girl; her fire curly hair was cascading down her back. "Oh shit," I saw her staring at my left hand "You're married?"

"Yeah," I blushed pulling my sweat down to cover my hand. I didn't want many people to notice that I was married, mostly because it would strike up a full conversation about it.

The professor walked into class and everyone became quiet, math was not my strong suit but I still wasn't that bad at it. Once class was over Victoria walked next to me.

"What's your next class?" She asked pulling out her phone and handing it to me "Put in your number."

I programed my number in and handed it to her "Writing over on the West Court."

"Wait me too," Victoria smiled "This is perfect, maybe this first day won't be so bad after all."

When I arrived home I slowly made my way inside, I was tired. Four classes in one day really poops you out. When I walked inside I smelled food from the kitchen and was surprised too see Edward cooking when I walked in. It brought tears to my eyes "Is all this for me?" I asked motioning to the tiny kitchen table with candles set up.

"Yeah," Edward smiled mixing something in a bowl on the stove. I walked over and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Spaghetti with meatball, and garlic bread."

"Did you really cook all this?" I laughed snuggling into his side.

"Well my mom might have made it and I'm just reheating it up." He gave me a sexy smile "Go sit down, I'll serve you." I skipped over and plopped down in the chair. A few minutes later he set my plate in front of me with a glass of wine.

"This is nice." I said once he sat down opposite me with his food and wine. "What is this nice dinner for?"

"It's your first day of college, you deserve a nice dinner to come home to." I gave him a funny look while I sipped my wine, I knew there was another reason but I would wait. The dinner was good, and we talked the entire time about his day at work, my day at school and the friends I made. Once dinner was over I was loading the dishwasher when Edward cleared his throat and I looked over where he stood in the doorway.

"Edward," I gasped and saw the little puppy resting in his arms "is that what I think it is?" I set the plate down and walked over to him.

"He's a Great Dane," Edward smiled placing the grey puppy in my arms. "he doesn't have a name yet."

"He's ours?" I asked snuggling the little guy to my chest and placing kisses all on his face.

"Of course," He smiled scratching the puppy's back. "What do you want to name him?"

"Duke," I smiled as he licked my face "oh he loves me." I smiled leaning over and kissing Edward. "What is all this for, it can't be for my first day of school."

Edward scratched Duke's belly as he lay in my arms. "I have to go away for a week." My heart dropped, I knew this whole night wasn't for school. "A week, not more then that."

I stayed calm, I was not going to cry and I was not going to get angry. "Finish loading this dishwasher." I whispered brushing past him and walking out the back door to let Duke out before I went upstairs to shower.

After Duke did his business I carried him up to my bedroom, which had a tiny cage, and tons of toys and food for him, Edward really went all out. I placed Duke in his cage and went to shower, I needed to relax and I knew a shower would help. I took longer then expected and when I walked out Edward sat on the floor playing with Duke.

"Can we talk?" Edward asked tugging on a stuffing elephant with Duke.

"I don't want to talk." I mumbled walking into our closet and changing into sweats. When I walked back out I grabbed my comb and ran it through my hair. I only have a reading assignment due for Writing but I could do that tomorrow. I crawled into bed, I usually lay on my stomach but my boobs were killing me so I flattened on my back.

"Want to go lay with Mommy?" Edward whispered and lifted Duke up on the bed. His little body was so cute and he walked over to my head and curled up right neck to me.

"When do you leave?" I asked scratching Duke as his eyes slowly drifted closed.

"Tomorrow morning." Edward said getting onto his side of the bed. "Please don't be mad Bella you have to understand this is for work."

"It's fine."

I was hungry, I knew we just ate but I was still hungry. I wanted pie I really wanted pie actually. Edward sighed; he knew I was pissed off. "I'll be in my office." He walked out of the room and I picked up Duke and headed downstairs.

We barely had any junk food; I never really wanted any except for now. I grabbed the Doritos bag we had along with a box of pop tarts and a large Heresy bar. I set Duke on the couch with me while I dove into my food, I felt like I was starving, maybe it was because I had such a long day I was hungry.

"You're going to be my best friend while your daddy is away." I said taking another Dorito while petting Duke. I grabbed the remote and turned on Law and Order SVU. I was half way through an episode when I realized that I didn't want to spend Edward's last night here mad at one another. I placed on the food on the end table and went to find Edward in his office; he was sitting behind his desk looking at something on his laptop.

"Hey," I smiled walking over and turning his chair so I could climb in his lap. "what are you looking at?"

"Just training for dogs," He showed me the website opening on easy ways to train dogs. "I've never had a dog before."

"I had one when I was really little." I told him wrapping my arms around his neck "I love you, thank you for dinner and for Duke."

"I love you too, I'm sorry I have to leave I'll try to get work done fast so I can be home earlier, okay."

"Yeah baby." I said kissing him, I heard a tiny bark, and then realized I left Duke alone. "He better not be chewing on pillows." I said running into the living room only to find Duke chasing his own tail.

"Wanna go outside," I said and Duke stopped moving and followed me to the backdoor.

"Geez Bella, were you hungry?" I heard Edward say from the living room. I ignored him and walked to sit out back while Duke raced around the yard. This would hopefully tire him out. I sat on the back porch steps and groaned my boobs hurt so badly, and so did my back. Maybe the weather was changing, that had to be the issue.

I reached for the chocolate bar that I had in my pocket when I felt everything I had eaten in the last two hours start to rise. I quickly ran to the side of the house and threw up everything into one of our trashcans, I saw chunks of pasta, Dorito, and Pop Tart all of it.

"Holy fuck," I said taking a deep breath once I was finished. I needed to lie down; I called Duke over and opened the door while he ran inside. I went and grabbed a water bottle and joined Edward on the couch. I needed sleep that would help.

"How old is he?" Alice squealed getting on the floor to play with Duke.

"He's about a month, Edward got him when he was just four weeks old." I smiled looking at Duke as he lay in Alice's lap. Edward has been gone this entire week, he was supposed to be coming home tomorrow and I was so excited, I had really missed him.

"Are you over the flu yet?" She asked standing with Duke passed out in her arms. I shook my head no.

"Every time I eat I puke it up, the most I can keep down is crackers and sometimes a peanut butter and jelly sandwich."

"Have you taken a pregnancy test?" I shook my head no "Well do you want to?" I shrugged "Are you going to speak?"

"Do you think I'm pregnant?"

"I don't know, I've never been pregnant but it would be nice to rule it out, if its not then you need to go see a doctor because it's got to be some type of flu." I took Duke from her. "I'll go, give me like twenty minutes."

When Alice left I paced I was freaking out. Yes I would love kids and to have kids right now would be nice, I guess. I was freaking out, I didn't know if being pregnant right now was a good idea. I let Duke run around while I chewed on my bottom lip, I had no idea if I was happy or angry.

When Alice returned we ran upstairs and locked ourselves in my bathroom. "What are the directions?"

"I got five of the same brand, it say to pee on the stick and we wait three minutes for a plus or minus sign."

I sat down and one by one Alice handed me a stick, I was surprised I had that much pee in me to go on each stick but by the time I was done Alice had each stick lined up on the counter. "Hey you're shaking." I looked down at my hands and placed them in my pocket.

"I've never had the talk with you brother about kids yet. I know he wants them but I don't know if he wants them now, or in three years. Fuck Alice I just started school."

"Deep breathes, this is Edward we're talking about. He's going to be calm about the whole thing." Alice was trying to keep me calm but I could see she was freaking out too.

I peaked over at all the tests and five plus signs stared back at me.

Edward

Home, fucking finally. I hated being away from Bella but I had to get a job down for my dad and it needed to be far away. When I walked in the house I heard Duke barking in the kitchen. I set my suitcase down and found my beautiful wife sitting at the island doing homework with bouncing one of Duke's round toys on her food.

"Hey beautiful." I said coming up behind her and kissing her neck. Bella dropped the toy from her foot and spun around to plant a big kiss on my lips.

"I missed you," She smiled running a hand lightly over my beard. "You look tired." I was, I haven't been asleep in two days.

"I'm dead,"

She chewed on her bottom lip and I used my thumb to pull it out. "I have some exciting stuff to tell you."

"Can it wait?" I chuckled "I'm so tired I want to be fully awake when I hear anything exciting."

"S-Sure, I have a bunch of homework to do anyway so you go sleep. Everyone is coming over for dinner tonight."

I groaned, I couldn't get the first night alone with Bella. "Two hours don't let me sleep more then two hours." I kissed her passionately before bending down to scratch Duke and heading upstairs.

When my alarmed sounded off after an hour and a half of me sleeping I felt like a whole different person. My head was clear, and I smiled when I saw that some how Duke had gotten into bed and was sleeping peacefully on Bella's pillow. I went and freshened up in the bathroom and grabbed Duke. I placed Duke out back and found Bella in the kitchen looking like a mad woman as she cooked. "Slow down," I laughed watching her go from pot to pot.

"Sorry, I'm making ravioli and I don't want them to burn and I also need to start a salad and your mom is bringing dessert thank god."

"Want me to help?" I asked grabbing her hips to stop her from moving. Her glasses were sliding down her nose and she looked distracted, and nervous.

"You burned eggs before Edward, I don't want you touching salad-"

"Hello party people!" I heard my little sister shout as she ran into the kitchen, a bottle of champagne in her hand.

"What's this for?" I laughed taking the bottle from her and looking at it.

"It's for you daddy," Alice laughed and I heard Bella gasp from behind me. "Oh fuck."

"Daddy?" I said setting the champagne on the counter "What are you talking about?" Alice gave Bella a funny look but didn't say anything. "Hello?"

"I'm pregnant," Bella whispered staring at the floor.

A bark came from outside. "I'm going to go play outside with Duke." Alice slipped by me to go outside.

I turned and looked at Bella as she turned the burners down under some pots and then turned to face me. "You're pregnant?" She nodded yes.

"I took five tests, they all came out positive." She blew out a breath "I'm going to call tomorrow to set up a doctors appointment."

"A-Are you sure you want to do this?" I asked "Bella you started school a week or so ago, and you're so young."

"I know how old I am." She snapped. The front door slammed open and my fathers voice rang through the house.

"Where are my people?" He shouted.

"Don't say anything to anyone." Bella mumbled before going back to the food. Before I could see my parent's I slipped outside and found Alice sitting in the grass playing catch with Duke.

"Sorry I spilled the beans." Alice said, "I thought she was going to tell you when you got home."

"It's fine," I sighed, "its sooner than I expected but I don't know. If Bella is okay with it then I guess I am."

"Do you want kids now?"

"Yeah I don't mind kids now but Bella, she's eighteen I feel like her life is going to be over and it's all my fault because we got married."

Alice laughed and bumped my shoulder "You didn't ruin her life you are her life. She loves you dude, and you got married. Yeah, she's eighteen but you two are the ones not having sex without condoms or birth control. Listen what I'm getting at is that she is pregnant, when we found out she was shaking, crying and didn't know what to think and then something just clicked and she was actually really happy and excited. Bella is a smart girl, she'll go to school still, damn that girl loves school she'll go until she goes into labor. So what if she has to take time off I know that girl will jump right back into school once she had this baby. Be happy Eddie, you're going to be a daddy and my best friend is your baby mama and it's going to be okay."

"You're a smart little girl." I said wrapping an arm around Alice's neck to bring her closer and kiss the top of her head. "Love you."

"Love you."

Bella

I was exhausted; dinner with the Cullen's is always a fun time. Carlisle always makes everyone laugh while Emmett makes fun of everyone. Rosalie talked about finding out the sex of the baby tomorrow. Esme was chit-chatty with everyone while Alice shoved her face with food and Edward stayed quiet.

Once everyone was gone I let Duke out to go potty and went into the kitchen to wash some of the dishes. Esme had washed most of them for me but I had a few left. I was quietly humming to myself when I felt arms wrap around my waist and kisses placed on my shoulder. "I hope this baby has a beautiful heart just like yours." Edward whispered into my ear. I shut off the sink and turned to face him. "I am happy."

"You are?" Bella asked chewing on her bottom lip.

"Very, how could I not be? I could be getting a son or daughter with one of the most beautiful women in the world."

She blushed and I leaned down to kiss her. "I'm still going to go to school, then I can do online-"

"Shh," I said kissing her lips "let's take it day by day. Let's worry about online school when the time comes, okay?"

"Okay." Bella smiled, and it was a genuine smile. "I love you Edward Cullen."

"I love you Isabella Cullen."
