Hi guys. Yes, believe or not, I'm updating a new chapter of MD.

Sorry for taking so long. But I know mostly where this story is going to go from now on,so the next chapters that will follow will be updated faster than before.

Anyone who is still following and reading this story, thanks for your patience :).

SM owns Twilight and its characters. Mistakes are mine.

Chapter 11

Thankfully, I had the day off, so I decided to visit Alice. As soon as I rang the doorbell, it opened quickly, Jasper on the way out, saying hi and asking for me to keep her company for a little while until he gets back, quickly storming away.

I entered the living room to see her on the couch, covered with blankets while watching something on the tv, rolling her eyes before changing the channel.

As soon as she heard me, she smiled, trying to get up. Wow, she was starting to look really huge with her little rounded belly. Where did the time went by?

"Bella! You're here!"

"Yep. No, don't get up. Sit down."

There was the eye roll again, but she said nothing, hugging me lightly, as much as she was allowed, before sitting back on the sofa, making her way for me to sit.

"So, how have you been? Anything new going on with you?" she asked cheerfully, a big smile on her face.

I shrugged. "Nothing much."

"How about Edward? You? How is everything going?"

"We're fine. "

"I see." she spoke, in a tone that suggested that she doesn't quite believe my words.

"So...is he moving in soon or...?"

I frowned. "Moving in?"

"Well...yeah. You said that most days he stays at your place so I thought..."

"Umm...yeah but only..."I started to say, but was cut off.

"Let me ask you this: does he use your apartment key regularly?"

"Yeah, but..."

"Does he often brings his own clothes with him?"

"Yes..."

"His razor?"

"Actually, no, but he bought it at..."

"Whatever. " she said, interrupting me for the thousandth time."Okay, last question,the most important one...is his toothbrush in your bathroom?"

"Actually no," I spoke proudly for some reason, " but I had a spare one so I told him he could use it. No big deal."

She gave me a smirk, crossing her hands over her chest knowingly.

"Still doesn't mean anything."

"Whatever you say dear," her smile still in place, tapping me on the shoulder.

I sighed. Was she right? Probably, yeah, but this was not something I wanted to think about right now. Once I start analyzing everything, my mind goes into overload and starts freaking out, and this was not the place nor the moment to do so.

I shook my head lightly, focusing all my attention on her.

"I didn't even ask you if you're thirsty or want something else? Chips?" she offered, ready to get up again.

"Sit down, I don't need anything. You need to rest."

And the rolling eyes were back.

"I'm pregnant, not a cripple Bella. I just need...a little help getting up. Damn, I'm getting big."

I smiled at her belly. "I don't want anything, really. Sit down."

"But I do. Now, help me."

I did. She quickly got back, chips and ice cream in her hands.

"Damn, I'm getting really fat."

"You look great."

She snorted, but gave a little smile.

"So...how is everything? The baby?"

"Stubborn, but fine. I went to the ultrasound with Jasper few weeks ago, but the doctor couldn't see the gender. I'm actually going tomorrow again, unfortunately, Jasper can't make it. I was thinking of going alone but, you can come with me if you want?"

"I'd love to."

She grinned, dipping her chips in the ice cream before putting it in her mouth. "Great."


"Hey."

"Hi."

"Just wanted to hear your voice. Ask where you are."

I smiled at his gentle voice even if he couldn't see it. " I'm picking up Alice for her check up today, remember?"

"Oh, right. Well, I'll talk to you later then. Say hello to baby mama for me." His smile was there as well, so big I could almost feel it.

"I will. Don't forget that we're meeting later with Rose and Emmett."

"I won't. Bye."

"Bye."

Just as I was putting my phone in the purse, I saw Alice approaching the car.

"Hey," she spoke cheerfully, opening the car door.

"Hi. You nervous? Curious about finding the gender out today? Hopefully."

"Not really. I mean, I'd like to finally find out what I'm carrying, yes, but, what matters the most to me right now is that he/she is healthy. Else...doesn't matter that much."

A smile. "Of course. Well, shall we go?"

She nodded.


The look on Al's face as she saw the baby was...astonishing. Soft. Serene. Happy.

I stood there by her side, her hand in mine, astonishment on my face as well, as I looked intensely at something that looked so small and fragile it was hardly believable to be growing inside a human being. It made me feel slightly emotional. And just the sound of the strong, regular heart beat...

"It's a boy." Alice whispered.

"Yes," the doctor confirmed. "A healthy baby boy. It looks like we finally had some luck today."

"It's so small," I whispered quietly.

"Small but very strong," the doctor commented.

One more look at that baby, and I knew, once it finally comes out to the world,I'd love the hell out of that baby.


"Are you okay?" Edward asked, a small frown on his face," you've been very quiet."

"I'm fine, just been thinking about Alice." Not the complete truth, but not a lie either.

"She okay? The baby?"

"Yeah. She's having a boy."

"Oh yeah?" He asked with a smile,"that's great. I'll have to call Jazz when we come back from the dinner. He must be proud."

"Mhhmm," my voice barely noticeable, still deep in thought.

"You sure you're okay Bella?"

I tried to smile. "I'm great."

He nodded slowly, not entirely believing me but deciding on letting it go."Okay, good,'cause we're here."

As we were entering the restaurant,we instantly asked for our for our reserved seats, hoping to recognize either of them.

It was easy to recognize Emm, but couldn't seem to find Rose anywhere.

As we were approaching closer, Emm looked quite cozy, his head leaning on the chair as if he was suddenly exhausted,eyes momentarily closed, a small content sigh escaping his lips, a satisfied small smile on his lips.

Wait...why is that look so familiar to me?...looks like something Edward does as well when...OH!

Wait, is this...did she really...damn, she's one brave chick.

"Hi Emmett," I greeted him, a look of total serenity on his face before blinking two more times, finally noticing us.

"Oh, ummm...You're here already. Hi."

"Where is Rose?"

"Oh. Um, I think..she's...must have gone to the bathroom. Look...I think that's her."

"Where?" Both of us asked.

Three seconds later, I heard a loud noise, and a voice under the table, cursing.

"Ah, here you are, " I spoke with a smug smirk. "What were you doing under that table?"

"Like we don't know the answer to that," Edward whispered with a smirk so low only I could hear. I bit my lip, trying not to laugh.

"Nothing," Rose spoke quickly, not looking at either of us, fixing her dress awkwardly.

I grinned. "Ouch. Don't know about you Emmett, but that would certainly hurt my ego."

Emmett stayed silent, and ever a bit embarrassed.

"I, uh...I'll be right back, just have to fix my make up," Rose spoke, quickly walking away.

I nodded with a grin, both Edward and I sat next to each other, our eyes focused on Emmett. Poor guy, he looked like he would give anything just about now to just get swallowed by the ground.

After she came back from the bathroom, the bartender asked for our order.

I couldn't stop looking Rose from the corner of my eyes, my smirk never removed, the awkward silence still present.

She gave a look that was supposed to say something like "what the fuck are you staring so much? Yeah, I gave him a blow job, big fucking deal!"

Okay, so she might have said that out loud,not giving shit about anybody who heard it.

I just gave her another one of my smirks. She rolled her eyes but finally smiled as well.

After we addressed the pink elephant in the room-or should we say the restaurant-the conversation was easy to maintain. It seemed Edward and Emmett got along just fine. Rose noticed that and gave me a satisfied wink and in return, I gave her one of my nod and a satisfied, approved smile.


Edward had a lot of work to do, and since most of his stuff was at his house, he decided to stay tonight at his place, giving me a soft kiss before driving away. I was heading upstairs, finding my keys when I saw a little paper stuck at the door.

"You should watch where you hide your key."

I quickly looked at the place where it's usually hidden, but the key was exactly where I've put it.

After unlocking the door, I was still looking at the message. It sounded like a warning, sure, but who could have written it? Must have been Edward. Nobody else but him knew where I have hidden it. Then again,as simple as being hidden under the doormat, every idiot could have found the spare key. But, then again, if it was a thief, why would he/she give me a warning?

Maybe a neighbor?

Searching around the house, I looked for any kind of things that could have been missing, but everything was in its order.

I shook my head, and threw the note in the trash. I was just getting paranoid for nothing.
