A/N - Hey guys, long time no speak! I know I haven't updated in a while, but it's my last couple of weeks in school, which means exams are getting closer, and I've been super stressed with getting all my prom stuff sorted!

Anyways, here is chapter 11 :) I really am loving writing this story, and I'm loving all the comments everyone's been giving :) It makes my day to see that I have a review :D

This chapter isn't the longest, but I wanted to get something out, as it's been a while, and also, I probably won't post another chapter for at least a week.

And with that, enjoy!

I awoke to my baby kicking away at my stomach. It wasn't hurting me or anything, it just felt weird. I mean, it felt like someone was doing the washing up in my stomach. I looked over at my alarm clock and saw that it was 10:00am. I decided to just lie in bed for a bit, jut feeling my baby move about; feel the life inside of me. When the baby settled down, I got up and jumped in the shower to wash the sleep away. After my shower, I got dressed in my new pair of maternity skinny jeans that Edward bought me, after I complained about not fitting into my old skinnies, and a top that showed of my bump rather well. I put my hair up into a messy bun, and went downstairs. My parents were both sat in the living room watching the TV, and when I walked in they said 'hi'.

"Hey Bella, we're going over to the Cullen's house later for a family dinner." I nodded, even though I already knew. I walked out into the kitchen, and saw out of the window that it was actually a really beautiful day in Forks, which was like a one in a million chance. I opened up the back door, and stepped out into my garden, where the sun was spread all over the perimeter. As soon as I felt the warmth on my face, I closed my eyes and absorbed the feeling in. It had been a while since the sun was out, and I always felt happier when it was warmer. I walked over to one of the 4 garden chairs, and sat down. When my whole body was encased in the warmth from the sun, the baby started kicking like crazy. I rubbed my stomach soothingly.

"Do you like the sun, baby?" About 2 weeks ago, my mom bought me a book on pregnancy. In the beginning, I thought it was a stupid idea, but when I started reading it, it actually came in handy. In one part, it said that, even when the baby is in the womb, it can still hear voices, so the mother and father should talk to the baby. So, every so often, when I'm on my own or with Edward, I'll speak to my baby. At first, I felt pretty stupid talking to my stomach, but after a while, I would talk, and the baby would kick or move slightly, which let me know that he or she was listening to their 'mommy' talking.

"You're gonna be like your mommy, you are, because your daddy would rather it be cold than warm. Whereas, I love the warm weather!" I patted my stomach. After about 10 minutes of relaxing in the sun, I heard my phone go off, so I walked back inside the house to answer it. When I looked at the caller ID, it showed Edward flashing.

"Hey Edward." I said, as I already knew who it was.

"Hey beautiful, how are my 2 favourite people in the world doing?"

"We're both fine, we've been sitting out the back garden, enjoying the sun. What about you?"

"I'm just about to go to the supermarket for my mom; she needs me to get some stuff for tonight. Do you wanna come with me?"

"Yeah, come by in about 5 minutes." With that, I hung up. I quickly grabbed a banana from the fruit bowl, as I'd been told by my mom, Esme, Carlisle, and my dad that I needed to make sure I was eating 3 meals a day, and a healthy, balanced diet, now that I was feeding for two. As I ate my banana, I walked back into the living room.

"I'm off out with Edward." I said, as I sat down on the arm of my dad's favourite recliner, which he was currently sat in. I finished off my banana, and started watching the television set. My mom and dad were watching intently at the TV, so I figured I wouldn't really get an answer from either of them. As I walked out to the kitchen to chuck my banana skin in the trash, I heard a tap on the door. I answered it, and it was obviously Edward.

"Hey beautiful." He said with a big smile as he bent down and kissed me quickly.

"Hey Edward." I replied back. He didn't bother coming into the house, so we just went straight away to the supermarket. The car ride was silent, but not awkward. Edward was heading out of Forks, and into Port Angles, as the supermarket in Forks wasn't really big. We pulled up in the parking lot of the shop, and we both got out. The weather was quite nice; a lovely blue sky, with a lush breeze. Edward grabbed my hand, grabbed a basket with the other, and we walked into the shop.

"So, what do you need to get?" I asked Edward as we wondered through the aisles of the shop.

"Well, my mom is making a pot roast tonight, and she told me to get some more potatoes and something for desert." I nodded, and we ended up getting some ingredients to make an apple pie, and we got some more potatoes. We were in the shop for no longer than half an hour, and because we had some time, we ended up at a little cafe in the middle of the town. It was a perfect day out really; just me and Edward, and of course, our baby. In the middle of our coffee, the baby was making itself known to me, and kicking away for about 15 minutes nonstop. Edward had his hand on my stomach for most of the kicking, and the look on his face was a look of pure awe. After our coffee, we headed back to the car, and then back to the Cullen's house, to drop off all the shopping.

"Hey kids, how was your little outing?" Esme said as we entered the house. Edward put the bags on the table, and we both sat down at the breakfast table. Jasper and Emmett came downstairs 5 minutes after we arrived back, and they sat down at the table with us. As soon as they sat down, the baby started moving about again.

"Woah, this baby won't stop moving today!" I said to the boys and Esme, as I put my hand on the stomach.

"Bella, this is going to sound weird, but can I have a feel please?" Emmett said.

"Yeah, of course." I said as Emmett stood up and walked over to me. I grabbed his hand and placed it on my stomach. As soon he felt the baby move, he had a big grin on his face.

"Wow, it feels weird!" He said. Edward and I laughed at how taken he was with this, and the wonder on his face made me feel happy.

"Well, I think this baby is going to like Uncle Emmett." I chuckled. As soon as I said that, Jasper was up and around by me as well.

"Do you mind if..." I nodded and he placed his hand where Emmett's hand was. His reaction was about the same as Emmett's, and I could already tell that this baby was going to have a lot of love from its family. When the baby finally stopped, Edward and I headed up to his room for a little while. We decided to just lie on the bed for a bit, just enjoying each others' company. I loved when we would just hold each other; I really felt connected with him. It was so peaceful in Edward's embrace that I accidentally fell asleep, and before I knew it, I'd woken up to an almost darkened room. It scared me a little, as I couldn't remember falling asleep, so I didn't realise where I was until I saw Edward led next to me, his chest rising and falling at an even pace. I looked over at the alarm clock, and saw that it was 6:00pm, and the dinner was at 7:00pm. I tapped Edward's shoulder lightly, trying to wake him up.

"Edward, we need to get up! It's 6 o'clock, and I need to get ready." He didn't budge, so I shook him a little harder this time, and finally, he shot up in shock, and started breathing heavily. Once his breath was caught, he looked over at the clock, and he must of realised why I'd woke him up. He got up out of bed, and I followed him, going quickly down the stairs, already smelling the delicious pot roast, just starting to cook in the oven. I grabbed my coat, and luckily, we didn't catch Esme or Carlisle on our way out. Edward quickly dropped me home, and told me he'd see me later. As soon as Edward's car was around the corner of my street, I ran inside, and ran into the shower. I was literally in there for about 5 minutes, before I turned it off and ran back into my room. I grabbed my hair dryer, and quickly dried my hair, then put it up into a ponytail. I decided to go smasual, you know smart and casual, and wore long black leggings, a tunic top that showed off my bump quite well, and some dolly shoes. It was a surprisingly nice and warm evening in Forks, so I didn't bother wearing a jacket or anything. By the time I'd shoved some mascara on and just brushed my teeth, my parents were calling me to leave.

We arrived at the Cullen house just before 6, and even from the driveway, you could smell the pot roast cooking. As we walked into the house, we were greeted by Carlisle, who gave my mother and me a hug, and shook my father's hand. It wasn't long after that Esme popped around the corner, all dressed up nicely with an apron over the top. Again, I was hugged by her, as were my mom and dad. The adults decided to go off into the kitchen, whilst I walked into the living room to find Edward. As I walked into the living room, I could see that the back door was open, so I walked over to it to see if anyone was outside. I noticed Rosalie was stood outside on her own, so I decided to go over to her. I coughed to make my presence known, and she turned and smiled at me.

"Hey Bella."

"Hi Rose, what you doing out here on your own? Where is everyone?" She turned towards me, with a little smile on her face.

"Everyone is in the dining room setting up the table. I just decided to get some air out here. It's quite a beautiful night." I nodded, but still wondered why she was out here on her own. I was about to ask more, when I heard someone behind us. I turned quickly, and when I saw it was Edward, my heart rate slowed down a little. Rosalie looked as well, then looked at me.

"Well, I'm going to go see what everyone's doing." With that, she walked back into the house. I turned back around to look at the scenery of the Cullen's back garden. Edward approached me, and he wound his arms around my waist, and placed them on my stomach. He kissed my neck softly, and then my cheek.

"It's beautiful out here." I said quietly, as if I would disturb the peace. In the distance, you could hear the tiny animals that were getting ready for their bed times, and the animals that were just awaking for their day to start. Edward and I didn't speak really, as the atmosphere was just so tranquil. He gently started to rub circles on my stomach, which was quite soothing also. I took the quiet moment to just take in what was happening in my life at that point in time. I found it quite strange that in another 20 weeks, I would be having, or already have, my baby, and Edward and I would be looking lovingly into his or hers eyes, and I would just love Edward even more than I did now. I also thought of my friends and family; my mom and dad, their happy expressions once they saw their grandbaby, as with Carlisle and Esme, the aura of good that would come from each of them; and then of course, Jasper and Emmett, I mean, they were plainly already in love with their niece or nephew, and then Alice and Rose, the excitement from them both. Another person who I would try and make a part of my life would be Jacob; I mean, he was there for me when I needed him the most, and he cared for me when I was in the hospital. Once I'd thought about all that was to come, a big smile came upon my face. I closed my eyes and just bathed in the glorious feeling that was all around me. The feeling of happiness, and completeness, and the feeling that everything would be okay, even if some stuff wasn't planned. I was so happy at that point.

"What are you smiling about?" Edward said, his voice bringing me back into the here and now. I smiled again, this time looking over at Edward.

"I'm just extremely happy Edward. You have no idea." I kissed his cheek, and he smiled then as well.

"But, I think I do have sort of an idea of how your feeling Bells; I feel like everything is going right for a change, and that nothing can stop us now! Like, luck or fate or whatever you wanna call it is on our side for once."

"That's exactly how I feel; see, we're meant to be together Edward, together forever." I put my hands on top of his that were on top of my stomach and he kissed my neck again.

"Edward, Bella, come inside now, the dinner is nearly ready." I heard Carlisle shout from inside the house. We both turned around and walked inside, hand in hand. We could see everyone already sat at the massive dining table, so we walked in and took our seats next to each other. The only person who wasn't there was Esme, who was out in the kitchen, getting all the food ready. I still held onto Edward's hand under the table, just because I'd never felt closer to him than I did tonight. After 5 minutes of random conversation, Esme walked out of the kitchen with a gigantic pot roast, which smelt delicious. It wasn't long before the rest of the food was bought out, and everyone started digging in.

Conversation was quite light, with no particular topic being discussed, that was until the baby started kicking, making me jump a little.

"Oh my God, what's the matter? Is the baby coming? Quickly, someone get me hot towels and some water!" Emmett shouted, looking quite nervous. After I explained that it was only the baby kicking, he looked very embarrassed at his forwardness, and he settled back down into his chair. That was when the baby conversation started to become the main subject.

"So, everything was fine yesterday at the check up?" Esme said.

"Yes, the baby is fine, it's right on track with its weight and everything." Esme smiled, then began eating again. Then, Alice was next to speak.

"So, do you think it's a boy or a girl?"

"Well, I wouldn't like to say, in case."

"Well, I think you're having a girl, I mean, you've not gained any weight except for in your stomach, and normally with a boy, you gain it on your backside..." My mom said, joining the conversation.

"Mom, I'm pretty sure no one really wants to hear..." But I was cut off by Rosalie.

"Have you thought of any names?"

"Ummm no, not yet." I said, in a bit of a frenzy trying to talk to everyone. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see my dad, Carlisle, Emmett and Jasper, all whispering and handing Emmett money. I looked over, with my brow furrowed.

"What are you guys doing?" I asked, a little curious. As soon as they noticed I was speaking to them, they all backed away from their little huddle, and they all had innocent looks on their faces. Jasper was the one to speak up.

"We're not doing anything Bella, I mean, it's not like we're betting if your baby is a boy or a girl..." He got stopped by Emmett hitting him of the back of the head.

"Shut it Jasper!" He said through his teeth. I was quite shocked! The fact that Emmett and Jasper were having a little bet was all well and good, but the fact that the 2 granddad's of this whole pregnancy were also betting, well, I don't know why, but I felt very hurt over it, which made my eyes start to fill up.

"Dad, Carlisle, how can you bet on your own grandson or daughter! You shouldn't care what sex it is, as long as it's a healthy baby, then that's all you should care about, not whether you can make a quick $40 by guessing if it's a boy or a girl!" The tears started falling; I knew I was being very over dramatic about the whole situation, but I was halfway through being pregnant, and I was very hormonal! As soon as I began to sob, Edward put his arm around my waist, soothing me. Then, my dad and Carlisle both came shooting around to my chair, and they both started to rub my arms, to try and calm me.

"Honey, I'm sorry, I didn't think it would ever make you this upset!"

"Well, you should of thought!" I said, maybe a little too angrily than was necessary. They both backed away a little, probably in case I hit one of them or something. Carlisle put his hand on my head and started talking.

"Bella, the only reason you're acting this way is because your hormones are all over the place..." I cut him off though.

"I know my fricking hormones are all over the place, the other day I cried for about 20 minutes because I couldn't fit into my favourite jeans!" I sobbed again, remember when I tried on my favourite slouch jeans, and they would do up; I sat on my bed and cried my heart out. Edward put his arm around my shoulder now, and he came closer.

"Bells, it's alright. Just take a couple of breathes in and out, and you'll feel fine." I started to breathe a little, and my head started clearing up. Once the tears had stopped and the anger had faded, I felt very sorry to everyone for disrupting the meal, especially to my dad and Carlisle. After I apologised, and they told me not to worry because I was pregnant, everyone went back to their food, and acted as if nothing happened.

..................................................................................................................................................................

"I still feel really embarrassed Edward." I said, whilst putting my pyjamas on in his room (when I say pyjamas, I really mean a pair of Edward's old shorts and an old football jersey). I was sleeping over Edward's tonight, as my parent's figured that, I was already pregnant, so what else could me and Edward possibly do? Edward was in the bathroom brushing his teeth, whilst I was sat on the bed, with the TV in the background. I was still pretty embarrassed about earlier on in the night, when I broke down and cried in front of everyone at the dinner table. Even though they all assured me it was okay, and that it was to be expected as I was pregnant, it still didn't escape me of what I did.

"Bells, I've told you all night, you don't need to feel embarrassed. You're pregnant!" He said in between brushing his teeth. I knew that I only cried because of all the hormones, but I still felt as red as a tomato just thinking about it. After another 5 minutes, Edward came out of the bathroom, wearing linen trousers and bare chest. Even though I'd seen him with no top on before, it still made my breath hitch in my throat when I saw his amazing body. He wasn't insanely muscular, but you could definitely see where his abs were. He walked over to the bed, and climbed up so he was sat next to me. I'd put some random DVD into the player, and we sat and watched it silently for about half an hour. I looked over at the alarm clock to see it read 11:30pm. I was quite exhausted, and so I went and brushed my teeth, then climbed back into the bed and under the covers, which Edward had already moved under. He resumed to watching the film, whereas I was feeling the darkness surround me, and just as I was about to surrender, I could faintly hear Edward's voice.

"Bells, are you still awake babe?" He whispered, and I could feel him move around in the bed. I opened my eyes, and looked at him with a smile, to answer his question.

"What's the matter?" I asked as he sat up and leaned his head back against the head rest.

"Well, it's just something that Rosalie said earlier on tonight, and it's got me thinking." Okay, now I was confused. I couldn't really think back to what Rosalie was saying, so I waited for Edward to continue on with his thoughts.

"I was wondering, have you thought of any baby names yet?" That took me a little by surprise, and once he said it, I could remember Rosalie mentioning baby names. I sat up then, and stared at Edward. To be quite honest, I'd been thinking of a couple, but only one had really stuck in my mind, and it was for a boy.

"Well, I've got a boy's name that's been stuck in my head since I thought of it, but you might not like it. Have you thought of any?"

"Well, I might have, but I'm not telling you, unless you tell me the name you've thought of." I smiled at how persuasive he was being.

"Okay, it's a boy's name, and like I said you might not like it, and plus, it's only an idea." He nodded his head and waved his hand for me to carry on.

"Well, it's Daniel Anthony Cullen." I smiled as I spoke the name. He stared at me, then smirked.

"Anthony?" I knew that would be the reason he wouldn't like it. Anthony was Edward's middle name, and I thought it would be nice that, if we had a boy, he could have the same middle name, as a sort of family thing. I nodded, and he sort of smiled.

"Also, why Daniel?" He asked again.

"Well, I don't quite know; I heard it somewhere, and I just thought it was a nice name. Okay, your turn now, what's the name you've picked?" I said, quite excitedly. He smiled again, and started to speak.

"Well, mine is for a girl, believe it or not, and you'll probably think I'm copying you or something. But it's Daniella Marie Cullen. Call it a coincidence!" I had to laugh; the fact that we'd both picked out the same names, just a boy version and a girl version, and the fact that we've both used each others' middle names. We really were soul mates. I grabbed his hand and squeezed it.

"Well, we'll have another 20 weeks to decide on names, I mean, we're going to need a girls' and a boys' name, if we don't want to know what it is." He nodded and squeezed my hand back. I kissed him quickly, and then settled back down into the bed. This time, Edward turned the TV off, and he settled down as well.

"Goodnight Isabella Marie." If it wasn't Edward, I would of gone off on one, as he said my full name, which I hated, but, because I loved him dearly, I let it slide.

"Goodnight Edward Anthony." And with that, it wasn't long before the darkness made its second appearance, and this time, I fully surrendered to it.

So, what did you think?

Like I said, not the longest chapter, but at least it's something!

Please R+R as usual :D also, if you have any name suggestions for the baby, please put them in the review; I'm looking for a forename and a middle name, both boy and girl :D

I shall try and update ASAP, but like I said, I'm a stress head at the moment :)
