So I am skipping two weeks ahead in this chapter. I had a bit of writers block but now that this chapter is done, I have the next two planned out. Thank you to everyone who is sticking with me through this. Being my first time writing it hasn't been too easy putting everything out there for the world to read and it still scares me to be honest knowing that people are reading this.


Chapter 12


BPOV

Today marks the two-week mark since I was rushed to the hospital. Edward and I are supposed to be at Dr. Roy's office in an hour to make sure everything looks good with the baby. Being on bed rest the last two weeks have helped me greatly, I have started to eat more and have gained 8 pounds already. I surprisingly took to bed rest easily mainly because Mason and I made most of it mother and son day in bed. Charlie stayed for three days to help Edward out around the house and with Mason. Edward has decided not to have sex until we know everything is okay.

We have been planning our vacation but haven't decided yet were we are going all we know though is we are going to take that time to relax and to reconnect on every level. Mason has been a big little helper to both Edward and me; he's taking being a big brother very seriously. When Mason found out we're going to be taking him to Disney World you could not keep the smile off his face. He talked all the time about going to anyone who would listen. Emmett and Rose have also decided not to worry about having a child and are going to take a vacation to get away from life for a while.

Since being on bed rest Edward carries me up and down the stairs as well as cooking breakfast and dinner then bringing it up to me on a tray. Edward and Mason have decided not to eat down stairs without me so they have been bringing their dinner up to the bedroom because Mason says he doesn't want mommy to eat alone. Edward helped me this morning take a shower and get dressed and while I hated feeling like I needed someone to help me with every little thing I knew it was to make sure our little girl and me were okay and that nothing go seriously wrong causing me to lose her.

Finished with my make-up I walk in to the bedroom just as Edward comes in to get me.

"You ready beautiful?"

"Yea I'm ready I wonder if Dr. Roy will be able to determine for sure that we're having a little girl."

"You're not second guessing yourself are you?" Edward asks smiling at me.

"No but I just want to make sure for when we start shopping."

"Okay baby." Kissing me, he says it's time to go.

Dr. Roy's Office


"Mr. and Mrs. Cullen Dr. Roy will see you now."

"Edward, Bella how are you two doing today."

"Good Dr. Roy."

"That's good. Looking at your chart I see you've gained 8 pounds in the last two weeks."

"Yea after that first day home the rest of the two weeks was spent in bed or on the couch." I tell him.

"Good that's good. How has your blood pressure been?"

"It's been good my stress level has been way down as well."

"That's good to hear. Let's go and get you and the baby checked out now."

"Okay." Edward and I follow him into another room. I jump up on the bed and pull up my shirt getting ready for the coldness I know that is about to come.

"Now Bella you already know but this is going to cold at first." Nodding my head, I get ready to hear our baby's heart beat. "Okay here's the heart beat. So far, everything looks good you can see the head and shoulders here. I can see it is a girl and she's sucking her thumb."

As he points out everything, I feel the tears starting and by looking at Edward I can see I am not, alone he has tears in his eyes as well.

"The 8 pounds you've gained these last two weeks have helped the baby grow to almost the size it needs to be."

"That's great." I say smiling up at Edward. Turning to Dr. Roy I ask, "She'll be born healthy right?"

"If you stay on track and gain some more weight, then yes we should have no problems with the little one. Do you have any questions for me?"

"Actually Bella and I are wanting to get away for awhile do you think it's okay to go out of town for a while?

"If you had asked me two weeks ago the answer would be no but seeing how resting has helped her I think it would actually be a good idea to get away. I just want you to keep taking it easy okay Bella."

"Also we were wondering if it would cause problems if we were to have sex?" Edward asks blushing for what I believe is the first time ever that I can't help but giggle at him.

"Um well I guess as long as you don't do anything crazy it shouldn't be a problem."

Looking at Dr. Roy I ask the one question that has been on my mind. "I don't have to stay on bed rest anymore right?"

"No I think you'll be just fine as long as you take it easy and don't overdo things."

Dr. Roy hands me a tissue so that I can wipe off the gel from the sonogram and he prints out a few pictures of our baby girl for us to take home.

Getting in the car Edward and I talk about who gets a copy of the sonogram.

"So who gets a copy?" He asks me.

"Well I want one for our bedroom and living room. I want to give one to mason for his room and I want one at the bookstore in my office. You need two, one for your wallet and the other for your office at work and both sets of grandparents." I tell him knowing when we get home I'm going to have to try to make a couple more copies for everyone.


So it is set in stone they know it's a girl. Edward just had to ask if they could have sex. The next chapter will have some cute family moments between Edward, Bella and Mason as well as shopping for the baby.
