A/N: Alright every one because I have really been inspired and did really well on my mid term I wanted to celebrate by giving you all a quick chapter.

I think you all have been waiting for things to start getting better …and that's where things are headed. Regardless of this fact this story is my baby and I think this has about maybe ten chapters left. I am going to try to wrap it up with in that frame because I have some one shots I want to start looking at writing.

Thank you all for your continued support and I definitely got lots of feedback from the last chapter so thank you all who did review. There has been a lot of controversy over their age difference and whether or not Edward and Bella should be together, and if Edward will be included in raising the baby.

However I think the way the story will play out will be good regardless of how it goes and I hope you all don't loose faith in me yet.

I love getting your reviews it is really helping me push my story towards completion.

Also who ever reviews this chapter will get a short clip of how Bella tells Charlie she's pregnant. I think you all will love it. Its in Charlie POV and already written so please review!

Whew long… okay so as per usual…

Disclaimer…I do not own twilight but I wish I did. Love you all.


Chapter 10 EPOV….continued past.

I wish I could tell you I had the answers for everything. That the next morning I had woken up with an epiphany and chased after Bella but I didn't.

I don't know what kept stopping me but I just laid there.

My body tired of the physical exertion it took to pay attention to the fact that Bella was pregnant, and she didn't even bother to tell me first.

I rolled over on to my back and hid beneath my covers of my bed.

It was Sunday….and I wasn't getting up until Monday I promised my self. However others always have different plans for me.

I heard some one clearing their throat and looked over to find Alice sitting at my desk.

"Edward I'm sorry you had to find out like that…" Alice sat in the corner of my room eyes cast down towards her intertwined fingers.

"How did you get in here?" I blurted feeling like I had no privacy.

"Your brother let me in considering it was my fault all of this was happening…" She shook her head side to side for a moment.

"What time is it?" I mumbled.

"Early…about nine in the morning."

I moaned. "What is it with people waking me up so damn early on the weekends?"

My question went unanswered.

The air was heavy and so I asked about the only thing we had in common.

"How's Bella?"

Her head snapped up.

"She's furious you know…You thinking she slept with Banner and calling her a whore like that. I am not surprised she slapped you." Her eyes narrowed as she looked at me and I sighed out.

"Well what did you expect me to do when she was all over him in my classroom and then for her to turn around be pregnant when she shows up at my house a few weeks later." I shook my head at the thought.

Then to top it all off, she says its mine...that she's pregnant because of—

"Yeah well your going to be a daddy, how do you feel about that?"

"I don't know how to feel." I admitted.

"Then you need to go talk to her. You both need each other right now and I know it to be true that Bella needs you. Your going to be parents and have a child that bonds you, you need to work out whatever shit you need to do and quit ignoring my texts and calls!" She stood up and started examining things in my room.

"Why? She made it abundantly clear she didn't want to be with me when she showed up at my school with you and Rosalie!" I yelled at her sitting up on the edge of my bed.

"Well then why don't you fight for her you moron!"

"You're the one who told me it was wrong!" I stood up with my fists clenched. I never felt the need to punch a girl but some bitch slapping couldn't hurt could it?

"Yeah well just because I claim to be a know it all doesn't mean I am always gonna be right!" She quipped back.

"So what I am just suppose to go knock on her door and beg for her to take me and that we can raise our child together?" I said flinging my covers over my bed and trying to organize it, to keep my temper in check.

"That's exactly what the Fuck I mean! Go to her and make this shit right! So I don't lose my best friend, and you don't lose your chance at being a father!"

I stood there stunned. She wouldn't would she? Take the kid away?

I turned and my face displayed to her all my unasked questions.

"I don't know if that would actually happen but if I were you I would definitely get your butt over their today. She took another day off and she is home. I know for sure. Go to her."

I didn't say anything I just got dressed after Alice left my room, and grabbed my keys.

"Bye mom, bye dad." I yelled over my shoulder. They waved in response.


The trip to Seattle was long and grueling but it gave me time to think.

I wasn't worried about school. Hell I barely was there even when I had no excuse to miss school so I wasn't fucking worried about it.

Apart of me wanted to smoke a cigarette before I did this but I didn't want to waist a second having to stop and pull over to smoke. I was on a mission.

A mission to get to the girl I was falling for, well I guess already fell for.

I wasn't sure quite yet but I knew a world with out her would be fucking miserable as all fuck as I am sure it has been shitty the last few weeks. I needed her. I needed to hold her, breathe her in and never let go again.

So I continued to push my car as fast as it would go and made it there before mid day. I raced up the steps to her apartment and prayed that this would all be okay.

I came to a screeching halt. I was just a few feet from her door when I heard her.

I came closer and pressed my ear to the door that was slightly ajar I realized.

I heard sobs. Some one crying out in pain and agony and it wrenched at my heart to hear her voice, break on so many levels. I pushed the door open not bothering to knock and came face to face with Bella crying on her couch with her knees to her chest.

I looked down to see dozens of bottles of prenatal vitamins and one bottle had been splayed all over the floor and dozens of multi hued colors lay on the ground.

My heart went to her and I came over and sat down next to her. She lifted her head and when she saw me she cried even harder. I didn't know what to do so I just brought her to my chest and held her securely in my arms.

"It's alright Bella." I whispered in her ear over and over again.

I cooed in her ear and whispered that things would be okay for us.

I rocked us back and forth keeping my hold on her steady.

"I'll always be here. Always baby, you will always be my Bella." I whispered in her ear.

"I—I am s—so confused. I want you but I know I shouldn't…but I—I do. I'm s—so sorry."

My heart swelled at the possibility that she did want me.

That I was wanted by her.

That she too had been affected by our separation.

I didn't know how I was going to do it. But I was going to be here for her, for us, for our unborn child. So I said the only thing I could say back.

"Shhh…baby its okay…we can talk about it later. Just know I am so sorry baby. I should have just been honest with you. But for now relax, rest my Bella."

She gripped my shirt harder and cried endlessly in my chest.

At the same time I rubbed her back with my hand and when her sobs quieted and her breath became slow and even I knew she had fallen asleep in my arms.

I did the only thing that I knew I should do. I picked her up and carried her to her bed. Pulling down the blankets and laying her on the bed. I removed her shoes but left her clothes on. Then I crawled in next to her and fell asleep after I had moved my hand from my side and wrapped it securely around her stomach where it held our baby and fell asleep.
