Whatever It Takes
Chapter Twelve: Sensitive
Previously...
"Carlisle, can we tell if it's a boy or a girl?" Edward asked. I grinned, really wanting to know.
"Yes, hold on," he murmured before looking closely at the screen. He looked up and smiled at the both of us.
"It's a..."
Still in Bella's Point of View
"It's a boy," Carlisle said and I grinned. Edward and I looked at each other and gave each other a soft smile before Carlisle continued on with his doctor business. I basically blocked everything out Carlisle was saying because I was thinking about the little boy Edward and I had created. I was proud that we were going to have him in our arms in less than 6 months.
I felt Edward nudge me and I noticed Carlisle had turned the lights back on. I sighed and sat up and took the soft towel that was handed to me and wiped the gel off my stomach. After I finished wiping it down, I put my shirt down and saw that Carlisle was gone and I was confused. Edward must of sensed my expression and chuckled.
"Were you listening to anything we were saying for the past few minutes, Bella?" he asked me and I shook my head 'no' and Edward chuckled. "Carlisle is getting us some sonagrams for us to take home to every one to see," he murmured and I nodded, understanding now.
"Ok...can we get out of here now? I have a promise to make," I muttered, hating the idea of going shopping with Alice and Rosalie. I could just picture it now. Alice handing me five million pairs of clothes and then Rosalie telling me what's hot and what's not. I sighed and saw Carlisle enter the room again.
"Here you go guys," he said giving us the pictures and then handed Edward a prescription and now I was really confused.
"What's that for?" I asked, softly.
"More vitamins to get," Edward murmured and I nodded along. After bidding our goodbye to Carlisle, which we would see in like a few hours – or I would – Edward and I started outside the hospital and towards Edward's shiny Volvo.
"Hey Edward, do I really have to go shopping?" Before he could answer, his cell rand and he held up a finger motion hold on for a minute.
"Hello?" he asked and then his face expression changed and he looked at me. "Bella, you have to go," he muttered and handed me the phone, which I took right away. I hesitantly held it up to my ear and immediately heard Alice speaking.
"Yes Bella, you have to go. Rose and I are waiting at the mall. We're in the front, it's not really hard to miss us. Love you, BYE!" she said happily and hung up on me. I looked at Edward then brought his phone down from my ear and looked at his phone.
"Evil pixie!" I hissed, which Edward heard and I gave his cell back and we got into his car and started towards the mall, obviously he knew Alice and Rosalie were going to be there.
"Are you excited?" I asked him on our way.
"About what?" he asked.
"The baby. Finding out it was a boy. Would you want to have waited or do you like knowing?" I asked him and he smiled and laughed.
"You ask a lot a questions, Love and for your answers for them, Yes and No. I mean yes I'm excited we found out but then again there is a part of me that wishes we should of waited. But I'm glad we found out, now we can talk about names," he spoke gently and softly, like he always does. I smiled at him and looked out he window.
"I'm glad we found out too. I like the name Jaxon." I said out loud.
"Huh? Jaxon? Isn't it suppose to be Jackson?" he asked.
"Yeah but I like the x in the name. It makes it look authentic, you know." I spoke and he smiled gracefully ate me.
"I like the x too, Bella." He stopped the car and spoke and then the door was yanked open and I was pulled out of the car and towards the entrance of the mall. I sighed.
"I didn't even get to say bye," I muttered and Alice and Rosalie must of heard because they were giggling at me like a crazy duck. Duck...wow. Pregnancy has a turn on you.
After going from store to store they finally settled on a nice maternity clothing store with fairly nice clothes. I smiled at the baby doll dresses in there and then looked at their nice cute jackets. I sighed.
"You know I'm not even that big," I noted out to my fashion consultants. Rosalie and Alice came up beside me on both sides and looked down at my tummy that has a little bump.
"You got a bump, so that means you have to have new clothes, aren't your clothes getting smaller, by now?" Alice asked all too fast for me to understand. When she repeated it for the second time, I nodded to her.
"Yes, my clothes are getting smaller, but does that mean we have to buy clothes every time I can't fit into something?" I asked and Rose and Alice looked at each other before laughing and started handing me clothes. I sighed, it was going to be a long afternoon here.
Later that day...
When we finished shopping we left to go home and get some food. I was starving and couldn't wait to eat some of Esme's cooking. I was staying at Edward's for a few days and loving it. I love him, how can't I?
When arrived back at the Cullen house, Alice and Rosalie were the first two out and I was the last. By the time I was out, Edward, Jasper and Emmett were already unloading the bags. I blame my pregnancy for making me so slow.
After the guys got the bags and what not, we all sat at the dining table, enjoying the meal...well I was.
"Hungry there Bella?" Emmett asked. I shot him a glare and he laughed.
"Emmett, stop it." Esme warned. I smiled at her and she nodded smiling back.
"Fine. But it was just a saying. Hey Bella, you know your going to get like really big?" I looked at Emmett and started tearing up. Stupid raging hormones. I stood from the table and left the room. I could hear Rosalie smacking the back of his head and saying that was a stupid thing to say to a pregnant woman. I had to agree, you know. I was the pregnant woman.
I went upstairs to Edward's room and then shut the door and layed down. I looked down at my small baby bump and realized Emmett was right. I was going to get big. And I was going to be ugly and fat and then Edward wouldn't want me anymore...NO! NO! NO! I will not think these things. It's wrong! NO! I heard the door open and in came Edward. He shut the door and gave me a soft smile. I pushed my legs up so I was sitting criss cross and looking at him.
"Bella, your going to get big, but your also pregnant. I think you look amazing and your glowing so don't listen to Emmett, OK? I love you just the way you are and I think you are absoulty gorgeous. Don't think I'm going to leave you because your fat, because in 6 months we're going to have a baby boy and I can't wait to meet him. Did you believe me?" He was sitting on his knees on the ground looking at me and holding my face in my hands by now. I nodded my head against him and he grinned.
"I love you Isabella Swan. I always will and I love our baby, even though we haven't met him yet. Emmett is stupid to say those things and he's going to say sorry, but just ignore half of the things he does or says. OK?" he asked me and I nodded.
"OK, Edward. And your very sweet to me and that's why I love you and our baby too," I murmured to him and he chuckled and leaned up an kissed me.
"Emmett you can come in now!" Edward shouted and got up. I nodded to him as Emmett came in and Edward left us to be alone. Emmett was standing in front of me by now looking very sorry.
"Bella, I'm very sorry I said those things to you. They were wrong and I apologize. I hope you can forgive me." he spoke gently towards me. I stood from the bed and hugged the big bulky guy.
"I forgive you. I'm just very sensitive to the things you say around me now," he chuckled and I giggled and went back downstairs to eat. I was loving this so far. What else could go wrong?
