Read my note at the end for some kick ass story suggestions.

But read mine first.

Unless you wanted to wait for this til tomorrow, I didn't edit.

I'm seriously thinking about a beta. I don't know who though. Or how.

Anyway,

ONWARDS!

Never Forgotten

Chapter 10

"Bella Swan got knocked up by Edward Cullen. Wasn't she like fired for having an affair with a student? I guess we know who." Someone whispered.

I ran after my dad not knowing what else to do. I ran out the door of the restaurant just as the cruiser pulled out of the parking lot. Edward was beside me in a second. I felt the tears and I just wanted to go back home and to bed, and lie in his arms.

"Take me home." I whispered. He nodded and headed back inside. A moment later he came out with Carlisle and Esme along with my coat. We all got into the car in silence the whole way back. I knew they had questions. I just didn't have the strength to answer. When my door opened I realized we were back at the house and Edward was already at my side waiting to help me out. I took his hand and he led me to the door behind a silent Esme and Carlisle.

When we got inside Edward said goodnight for us as he led me up the stairs in silence. We got to his bedroom and he shut the door softly behind him. I stood there until he finally led me to his bed and sat me down on his lap.

"I'm going to change, love. You want to change too?" I nodded and he slid me off his lap and went to his closet. He came back out a second later in only flannel pajama pants with a white t-shirt in his hands. He stood me up and took off my clothes kissing me every once in awhile to reassure me he was with me, always. Once I was only in my panties he kissed my stomach. "Good night baby." And slid the shirt over my head. He pulled back the covers as I stood there. He motioned for me to get in beside him and I did. He pulled me tightly to his chest and kissed my hair. Then I finally let go.

I cried.

I sobbed, all while he held me.

I fell asleep to words of love from Edward. I knew it wouldn't matter what people felt about us, but the words still hurt. I had hoped Charlie of all people would be there. This was his grandchild after all.

EPOV

I lay there after she fell asleep and just watched her. Her dried tears a reminder of all the hurt she was experiencing. I wished I could just whisk her away and make the world disappear.

But this is reality.

I couldn't do that.

So instead I just held her and told her how much I loved her.

It had to be enough.

--

The morning came and with it a very beautiful woman kissing my neck and chest.

"Hmmmm." I hummed in content.

"Wake up sleepy head." She whispered. "Time to face the day." She sighed and went to get off the bed. I went for her and pulled her back to me.

"No. The day can wait." I whispered into her ear and she shivered. I kissed her neck and she moaned.

"Not fair." She whined but kissed me back. We heard a light knock on the door and I groaned.

"Bella, Edward?"

"Yeah mom." I said sitting up. She came in carrying a tray of food. At least some things seemed okay.

"Bella, I thought maybe breakfast in bed would be nice." She said softly and placed it in Bella's lap.

"Thank you." She said softly. "for everything."

"No need to thank me." Bella began to protest but my mother cut her off. "Now today. We are going shopping. All of us girls. Leah, Alice, Rose and I are kidnapping you. We know it's early, but it can still be fun. We'll just have to go neutral with colors. What do you say?" Bella had unshed tears in her eyes by the time she was finished.

"That would be amazing." She whispered. I put my arms around her shoulders and hugged her to me. She put her head in the crook of my neck and breathed deep. I looked over to my mother and mouthed a thank you. She gave me a smile and a nod before heading to the door.

"We'll be leaving in about an two hours. So you have plenty of time to get ready." And with that she left the room. Bella put the tray in between us so we could both eat. We ate in silence for a little while before she spoke.

"Once we get better and healed, where are we going?" She said looking down at her food. I pulled up her chin softly to look into her eyes.

"What do you want to do? I need to get back to school. It will be tough but I want to get done with pre med and get into med school so I can take care of my beautiful wife and child." I said and tensed when I realized what I had said. She dropped her fork and looked at me intensely.

"Are you proposing?" She smiled. I relaxed and smiled back.

"I wanted to do this on thanksgiving, but given what happened, I didn't have the opportunity." I said and made my way to my top drawer where I kept her sapphire engagement ring. Nothing ordinary for my Bella. I went to her side of the bed and knelt down. "It would make me the happiest man alive if you would do me the honor of marrying me and becoming Mrs. Cullen. Will you marry me?" She had tears in her eyes and looked at the ring then at me and back again before she nodded. I felt my heart almost explode with the amount of love I was feeling. I stood and sat next to her. It would be difficult with the cast on her left arm so I went to my dresser and got a silver chain. I put the ring on it then around her neck. "This will have to work for now."

"Okay, I think it would be best anyway. A baby on the way then an engagement. I don't want to give Charlie a heart attack." She laughed humorlessly.

"I think you're right. But we will tell them soon. Once he calms down. I know he will." I whispered and kissed her forehead before sitting down next to her feeding her some of the grapes that were left.

When we were done eating we took a shower. I washed away all the stress for her and kissed every inch of her glorious body I could. I don't know if it was just my imagination but I could already tell she had a glow to her. She looked stunning. I couldn't wait until her belly was rounded with our child. We got dressed and slowly kissed goodbye as she left for her shopping. She knew what it was.

Acceptance

It was to show that some accepted this. It made us feel like kids again to be honest. Two consenting adults in love having a child, why do the other opinions matter?

Oh yeah I forgot, fucking small towns.

"I'll miss you. Don't do too much. You're still recovering. If you get tired say something. I also put some medicine in your bag for the pain. And…." I started to say but was silenced but her full lips on mine.

"Dr. Cullen needs to let me see Edward before I go." She teased.

"Sorry." I said. "I just worry. I love you." I kissed he softly. "Call me if you need me."

"I will." And she turned and went to my mother's car already filled with women who support Bella. I love my mother, because she's a saint. I waved to all of them and made my way back inside. I decided some time on the couch might be best. I grabbed the remote and found some old episodes of Quantum Leap. It was funny as hell to watch. When Sam has to be a woman I had to laugh at him. It was about half way through the second one when the door opened and Emmett along with Clay and Jasper walked in.

"Hey, what are you guys doing here?" I asked as I sat up slowly.

"All the women have left us to fend for ourselves so we figured a man's day would be fun. I'll call for pizza while you sat up the gaming systems." Emmett said as he pulled out his cell phone. The pizza and games were a nice chance to relax. It was good to just have a bit of fun. It was only after about two hours before anyone brought up Bella being pregnant.

"So, no glove no love not a philosophy of yours Eddie-boy." Emmet joked.

"That's the thing. She was on the pill." I shrugged. "But even with that, I've never been happier." I smiled.

"So, you're going to be a dad. And you're the only one out of us not married." Clay snorted while swigging a beer. I looked down and didn't say anything

"Yeah, now Rosie's all over my ass now to get her pregnant. Not that I mind, but I just need to think about it." Emmett continued but Jasper, the ever-perceptive one, caught my lack of response.

"Man, are you okay?" Jasper asked with a knowing smile on his face. "I think you hit the nail on the head with the marriage thing Clay." He laughed. Emmett and Clay finally caught on.

"You getting married." They both said dumb founded. I swear they were separated at birth.

"I ask her this morning, but we're keeping it quiet." I said to them with a look that they need to keep their mouths shut. They all nodded then smiled. We went back to our games missing the women in our lives.

"So, are guys going back to New York?" Rosalie asked, as she held up a cute little Seattle mariner uniform. We all awed and continued.

"We don't know yet. He wants to get done with school, obviously. But I was getting the feeling he wanted to be close by." I shrugged. "Having the support here is really nice, especially with a baby on the way."

"Dear, wherever you are we will support you. Not that it wouldn't be nice to see my son and you more often. I just want you to know we support whatever you decide." Esme said as she looked at some cribs.

"That's really nice of you." I said quietly.

"Nonsense, I only speak the truth." She smiled.

"It will also be difficult to be all by myself with him in school. I know he'll be there, but he'll be busy getting things done, and I'll be at home by myself." I said sadly thinking of all the future lonely nights while he was at the library over preparing himself.

"Well, what do you want to do Bella?" Alice asked.

"Maybe move to Seattle. It would be about 4 hours and the ferry too, but that is closer than New York and he could go to U dub, but that's a lot to ask." I sighed. "I just want him to be happy."

""Bella, from what I know, when you're happy, he's happy." Leah said with a smile.

"Well, you just need to talk to him." Alice said cheerily at the prospect of me living closer.

"Okay, girls. Let's get lunch." Esme said as we walked to the car with only a few things. We didn't go crazy but looking was nice. I was just glad I wasn't forced to be Bella Barbie.

"Well, if it isn't Bella Swan?" I heard a nasally voice behind me. I turned already knowing who it was.

Jessica.

"Jessica, what a nice surprise." I said overly sweet as the others stood next to me.

"So, I heard you've got a little bundle of joy of the way." She said just as sickly sweet. "Who's the lucky daddy?" Her eyes flickered to Esme meaning she knew exactly who.

"Well, if you're mother is the same as when I left. You already know from the town gossip herself." I snapped back. She could mess with me, but not Esme. We all turned to leave but not before hearing her parting words.

"I guess it's lucky you didn't get knocked up before he graduated." She sneered.

I took deep calming breaths as the others just walked. They knew not to mess with it. I unconsciously rubbed my belly almost as if I thought it would disappear.

"Don't listen honey." Esme whispered as she wrapped her arms around my neck. "We all know the love shared." I nodded and made myself forget about the little bitch.

After about two hours at a booth of a fancy looking café we were back at the house to find all of our men, minus Carlisle who was working, asleep in the living room. The room was littered with beer bottles and pizza boxes. We all smiled at each other knowing what we were doing.

"As long as my house gets cleaned use what ever means necessary." Esme whispered as she went up the stairs to leave us to ourselves. We all went into the kitchen to find pots and pans along with some wooden spoons. I looked over to my friends and we made our way back to our sleeping boys. Rosalie mouthed the countdown and then we let loose.

BANG!
BANG!

"HOLY SHIT!"

"MOTHER FUCKER!"

"FIVE MORE MINUTES MOM!"

"BELLA!"

We all laughed at the different reactions as they glared at us from their spots.

"WHAT THE FUCK!" Emmett shouted. "I just about pissed my pants." He said quieter after Rose's own glare.

"You are cleaning up all of this shit now." She shouted at him as the others chuckled.

"What are you laughing at Clay Fonseca? Get off your ass and get some trash bags to help with this." It was Leah's turn to glare. Jasper and Edward were smart enough to get to work before more glares came their way.

After about two hours of cleaning up their mess it was all done. Esme came down to start dinner and they all stayed after her invitation. The girls were all in the kitchen as the boys were talking in the living room. The door opened to reveal a tired Carlisle.

"Tough day, honey?" Esme asked as she kissed his cheek and took his coat to hang.

If that wasn't a glimpse into the future I don't know what is.

"Yeah, I see we have a full house for dinner tonight." He smiled at his surroundings. "It sure has changed hasn't it, love." He said and hugged Esme. "Quiet lonely house to full in only a few weeks." He smiled as she nodded.

"Just wait for the pitter patter of little feet that we don't have to change the diapers." She joked as I laughed. "Because we can just pass them off to mommy and daddy, right?"

"Right." Came my personal god's velvet voice from the entryway of the kitchen. I smiled at him as I peeled some potatoes. He came up behind me and kissed my neck.

"I love you." I said and pecked his lips.

"You too, love, you too." He whispered.

RING! RING!

"Hello?" I answered my cell groggily as I had just finally fallen asleep.

"ISABELLA MARIE SWAN, DO YOU WANT TO TELL ME WHY I HAD TO FIND OUT FROM YOUR FATHER THAT YOU'RE PREGNANT?" My mother yelled as I held the phone away from my ear. I heard a groan and the bed shift then the lamp switched on.

"Mom, shh." I said as I got out of bed. Edward sat up and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes as he yawned.

"What is it baby?" He asked and my mother heard.

"Is that the sperm donor who got my baby pregnant?" She sneered.

"Mom, stop." I said in my best no nonsense voice.

"Don't tell me to stop. I had to find out from your angry father that my baby is having a baby. I'm allowed to be bit upset." She said sadly. "You know how bad I felt not being able to come and see you when you got hurt. I just feel you're pulling away from me. I didn't even find out from you that you're pregnant." I sighed.

"I'm sorry mom. I wanted to tell you, but it didn't feel right over the phone. I was going to visit you and Phil and Blake. I'm sorry." I said sincerely and really irritated at Charlie at the same time.

"Honey, just….." She sighed. "You know what, it's late. I'll let you go. Just promise to call me tomorrow."

"Of course."

"Okay, I love you sweetie. Blake misses you." She said.

"I miss him too. Give him a kiss for me. I love you, bye." I said.

"Bye."

When we hung up I turned to see Edward looking at me in concern.

"My mom." I said while crawling in next to him.

"Oh?" He said as he wrapped his arms around me, with one hand caressing my stomach.

"Yeah, Charlie called her and she was upset to have to find out from him." I yawned.

"Sleep, love. We can go talk to him tomorrow. I'll go or you can go alone what ever you prefer."

"I think maybe alone. He might be a bit calmer if it's just me." I said and kissed his naked chest. He reached over and turned off the light.

"Alright, now sleep." He commanded playfully and I didn't argue.

I slept with dreams of a little bronze haired boy with green eyes calling me mommy.
