Any who, Ladles and Jelly spoons, I present to you Chapter Eleven!


"We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it." - John Lennon


22 weeks. Just past five months. four more to go.

Due Date is April 21st.

Not much has changed a whole lot, I have been getting a bit of heart burn recently, apparently between my think hair, and Edwards thick hair, the baby had no choice. Neither did my heartburn. I kept a bottle of chewable, smoothie flavored tums by my bed, and in my Marry Poppins purse (this is what Alice and Rose named it, Seeing as I could fit a whole person in it, figuratively). Edward was always great with me, as usual. He took more care of me then necessary, always making sure I was drinking plenty of water, and eating safe food. If anyone one else acted this way towards me, I would bite their head off. I like to do things on my own, and for myself. Edward is lucky I love him.

Alice and Rose were planning Rayne's baby shower. Rose and I were planning Alice's. I am not one for planning of parties. I felt like I owed it to Alice though, and Rose was doing a great job in planning, I was just there to help.

Today, I asked Alice if she wanted to go to the mall to get some baby clothes. My mistake, we spent at least five hours at the mall. Alice was a beast, carrying twins and all those bags, and still having energy and getting past the aching feet. I had only two bags, and my feet felt so swollen, it felt like I was walking on a water bed.

"Bella, so are you up for store number seven?" Alice asked in a surprisingly awake and cheerful tone.

"No Al, I am dieing. My feet hurt, I am hungry and I need my Edward." I complained in a nasally tone.

"Okay, okay." Alice threw her hands up in surrender. "I'll return you to your Edward."

Alice winked at me knowingly.

"Oh shut up Alice, your as bad as Emmett." I scolded her for her perverted mind.

"Hey Bella, you are the one who did the dirty with my brother and are carrying my nephew!" Alice laughed aloud, knowing she was making me uncomfortable.

"Shh. Al, not that loud." I put my finger over my mouth obviously and turned bright red.

"Oh silly Bells, no one heard me." Alice laughed throwing her arm over my shoulder and she made her way to her pretty yellow Porsche.

On my way home baby.

-Bells

I shot a text to Edward.

Alice dropped me off at my little condo, where I found my Edward anxiously waiting outside for me.

Before I could open the door Edward had done so himself, with and eager smile plastered on his face.

"I missed you!" Edward enveloped me in a hug.

"I figured you would have work to distract you." I mumbled as my head was slightly froced into Edward's chest.

"It did no such thing. I couldn't help but think of you and my lovely son." Edward adoringly placed his hands on my belly.

"I bought my first onsie. It is black and has the batman symbol on it." I giggled pulling it out of the bag.

Edward grinned widely at the onsie.

"How about you help me carry one of these bags inside, my feet are killing me." I winked at him, pulling him out of the daze he was in.

Edward scooped up both of the bags and motioned me to follow inside, while I said my goodbye to Alice.

I walked inside and Edward has prepared the best dinner ever. I saw two glasses filled with water, and a dish filled with garlic bread, and a shrimp pesto pasta.

I took a drastic breath trough my nose.

"Oh Edward, you out did yourself." I praised his cooking skills.

"Its never out doing myself when you are in the picture." Edward modestly rebutted my comment.

Edward walked over to a chair and pulled it out, motioning for me to sit down in it. After I sat down he placed a napkin gracefully in my lap and sat in the seat next to me, repeating the same motions. I could barely wait for Edward to pick up his knife and fork before I dug in. I stuffed my mouth full with the creamy flat noodles and shrimp.

"Mmm." I moaned, noodles hanging out of my mouth.

"Sexy." Edward looked up at me, his words laced with sarcasm.

I quickly chewed my food so I could stick my tongue out at him.

"Not my fault buddy." I motioned to my belly. "Blame Rayne."

Edward flashed me a charming grin. "I know you would finally decide on Rayne. Still keeping the middle name a surprise from me?"

"Yuppers." I smirked knowingly.

I had always known what I wanted the middle name to be if we were having a boy, now that we are the middle name is set in stone. I just hope Edward approves.

"Oh Edward, by the way, I was going to drive down to Forks tomorrow, after I get off at work, and visit Charlie and tell him the news. I get off around noon" I hoped Edward would be able to join me, I hadn't asked him what his schedule was this week.

"Oh I wish I could go with you." Edwards charming grin dropped from his face. "I am working the closing shift."

The Closing shift was two to nine thirty.

"Oh alright. Its okay." I nodded in understanding.

We finnished our meal and I had cleaned up dinner and put away left overs.

"Edward?" I called out, walking into the 'in-progress' nursery.

The sight infront of me made me stop in my tracks.

"why is there a mini guitar in the corner?" I nodded my head towards the cherry colored Jasmine guitar.

"Our son is going to learn to play very early." Edward beamed when he said 'our son'.

"Oh really?"

"What if he doesn't want to play guitar?" I countered.

"Oh he has it in his blood." Edward stated.


Today I had to work at the library, and after words I was driving out to Forks to visit Charlie, and Jacob. Edward didn't know about Jacob though, I was afraid it would upset him. I planned on telling him about seeing Jacob while I am there. I am just afraid he would stop me from going, and I had already told the both of them I was coming down.

Things were going a bit better at the library., Jessica was being civil towards me, and Angela had given me a bit more responsibility.

I spent most of my time putting rented book in their place, or reading and waiting for customers.

Today my choice of reading was a teen novel, Cirque Du Freak. I had heard about the movie, and that the author was creative and talented, so I took interest.

"Bella, you have a gentleman asking for you in the lobby." Angela popped her head into the break room.

I smiled and put the book down to go see me visitor.

"There is my beautiful baby momma." Edward beamed.

"How's my son doing today?" He placed his two hands on my tummy.

"Rayne is kicking up a storm today." I grabbed Edwards hand and placed it closer to were I was feeling the kicks.

"I'll never get used to that, and I don't think I want to." he smiled awestruck.

For a brief moment Edward and I stayed with his hands on my belly.

"I brought you some lunch." He held up a paper sack, explaining his pleasant visit.

"Is there enough for all three of us?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Oh well I didn't think of Angela.. "Edward trailed off apologetically.

"No silly, Angela is a grown woman. " I laughed at his clueless - ness.

"Rayne and I need enough..." I grabbed the bag and looked inside to find soup. "...Soup for the two of us, to be full."

"Ohhh." Edwards face formed into a cute little realization.

I started to walk outside and motioned Edward to follow me. "You should come along or you wont get to eat."

Edward and I sat in a old wooden bench and I pulled the thermos out for Edward, then I pulled the one out for me. I looked inside the bag to see if there was anything else. I noticed there was crackers and another clear thermos filled with what looked like green tea, and I got excited for a moment, but quickly got sad because I wasn't going to have any caffeine.

"That is decaf Iced green tea, unsweetened." Edward noticed the sullen look on my face. "Just like you have been craving."

I squealed and leaned over to hug Edward, nearly dropping our entire lunch. " You're so fricken awesome.

I unscrewed the lid to the tea thermos and took a big swig.

"Ah, that's the stuff!" I smiled widely.

"Glad I can help the cravings."Edward chuckled

"In the soup thermos is chicken tortilla soup, and I have two different kinds of crackers, I know you really like your Ritz crackers right now. I prefer to eat saltines with my soup."

I smiled at Edward appreciatively and sipped on my soup and tea, and chomped on my crackers.

Edward and I ate in a comfortable silence and by the time we were done it was time to get back to work.

I threw my arms around Edward's neck and hugged him tightly. "You're the best! Thanks again for the surprise lunch love"

"I do it cause I love you." Edward leaned back to place a quick kiss on my lips. "I also wanted to see you before you left town. You will be back tonight, right?"

"I think so, unless I feel too tired to come home, but I'll call you and let you know." I placed another quick peck on his lips. "I got to go love."

"Okay. Drive safe." Edward turned to go back to his car before turning back around and jogging lightly towards me. "Give me the keys to the truck, please."

"Why?" I looked at him like he was crazy.

"Because I feel better if you were to drive the Volvo to Forks."

"Edward that isn't necessary." I rolled my eyes.

"Please, Bella?" Edward looked at me with his puppy dog green eyes and I caved.

"Alright." I dug in my pocket and tossed him the keys, while he tossed the Volvo keys to me.

"Thanks Babe. Bye Bella," Edward kissed me again.

"Bye Rayne." Edward leaned down to kiss my belly, causing me to blush.

Edward flashed me his dazzling smile while he turned around to walk to my truck." I love you both!"

I snapped out of my haze, "We love you too!!" I yelled back.

I watched Edward drive off in my orange monster truck, and I walked back into work.

"You two are adorable!" Angela gushed.

"Thanks Ange." I chuckled before returning to my place putting books back in their correct spots, with a hue of pink tinting my cheeks.

The next few hours flew by like crazy, mainly cause my nose was stuck in a book the entire time, and before I knew it, it was time to go home. Or to Forks.

I made my quick call to Edward to let him know I was on the road, and he told me to call him when I made it safely.

I dialed Charlie's numer to confirm my visit was still planned.

"Hey Bells." Charlie's voice held a grin.

"Hey Dad, Just wanted to let you know I am on my way, if that is OK?"

"Perfect, but you should meet me at the Black's house. I am there for the game."

"Okay Dad, bye."

"Bye baby."

Scratch that, it was time to go to La Push.


AN: It isn't too much of a cliff hanger. But whooo knows what is going to happen in La Push. What do you think will happen? Eh?

You know what to do ;)
