My Bella
I kissed Bella and then I kiss her head and then she giggles and puts her arms around my neck and stands on her tiptoes and we continue making out for a little and then she sighs and pulls away.
"Feed me." She demands, looking hungry.
"Yes ma'am." I say and I kiss her forehead again. "Go rest, I'll be back." I go downstairs and to the kitchen and make pancakes and eggs. After finishing, I got back upstairs and I open the door and I see her looking at herself in the mirror. Her bones were visible, her eyes apologetic and watery. She looked at me and sighed. I put the food on the bed and put my arms around her. She sniffles and puts her hands on my arms. I kiss her cheek and whisper. "We're gonna get through this together. I promise."
"I hope so." She whispers and then she pulls away and eats her food. She ate it really fast and she drank the juice in 4 gulps. I laid on the bed, watching her and then she finished and she put her head on my chest and sighed. I kissed her head and we stayed like this for a little bit and then she put her hand on her belly and rubbed it. "You know, if we have a boy, we have to redo the room."
"I'm all for it." I say staring at her belly. "We could use another room too."
She smiles and nods. "Yeah.. Paint it blue or green.. Maybe sky blue.. Have a light and a mobile over the crib.. It would be cute!"

I was watching sports when the phone rang. I picked it up when I saw the familiar number. "Hello?"
"Hey Edward, how are you?"
"I'm fine Alice, how about you?"
She sighs. "Edward, listen. Jake has to go to his friend's funeral this weekend and I have to go do something for my parents in London, so I need you and Bella to watch Jonah, just for a little while until me or Jake get back."
"Sure, we can watch him. When are you guys leaving?" I turned down the volume on the TV.
"Tonight.. I hope that's okay." She says, sounding like she hit something. "Ah, Jonah! Can you move out the way please?"
I raise my eyebrow and then I wait.
"Sorry Edward. Jonah and his toys.." She groaned. "How about at like 8? My flight leaves at 10, and I still haven't packed everything. Jake's leaving in an hour, the funeral is later today, but he has to take care of a few things for his friend's family." It sounded like she sat down. "Thanks Edward."
"No problem Alice." We hung up and I saw Bella standing by the stairs. She looked sick, but she's looked like that for a week now.
"Hey." She smiled at me weakly and then she walked over and sat next to me on the couch. "H-h-how are you?"
"Fine, but I should be asking you. Are you feeling okay?" I put my hand on her forehead, but she pushes it off and nods.
"Yeah.. I'm f-f-fine." She says and then she sighs. "What were you talking to Alice about? Another spa trip?"
"Actually, Jacob has to go to a funeral and Alice has to go to London, so we're watching Jonah for a little while. I hope you don't mind." I say, taking her hand.
She shakes her head. "No, I don't mind." She smiles. "We could use practice anyways. How long is he staying?"
"Until one of them come back, which will be a little while." I say before looking at the clock.
Time: 4:34 PM
"We still have time. They come at 8." I say, remembering what Alice said.
"L-L-London? For her parents, correct?" Bella asked, guessing.
"Yeah. I don't know what, but they want her." I leaned in and kissed her softly. She kisses back and puts her hand on the back of my head.
Time: 7:53 PM
Bella stood at the stove, waiting for the pasta to finish. She was excited to see Jonah again. I sat on the couch, watching the end of the football game, and then I heard the doorbell. It's almost 8, so she's a bit early.
I get up and open the door and I smiled. "Hey guys, come in."
Alice held Jonah's hand and walked in, holding his suitcase. "I figured he needed a few things." She smiled and then we hugged. "Say hi, Jonah."
He smiles at me and he puts his arms up, I assume for a hug. I bent down and held him and he smiled. "Hi Edward."
"Hey Jonah." I say after pulling away.
Bella came into the room. "Hi Alice. Hi Jonah."
"Hey Bella. I should be back by next week the earliest. My parents wanna do this fashion tour thing in London, and they want me to help them with the outfits for the models." She bent down and hugged Jonah. "I'll miss you so much."
"Me too, mommy." Jonah says, sad.
"Don't worry, mommy and daddy will be back really soon. Okay? Edward and Bella will take care of you." She kisses his head and pulls away.
Jonah nods and he sniffled. "Bye mommy."
"Bye buddy. I love you." She stands up.
"Love you too." He looks at her and Alice leaves.
"Hey Jonah. You alright?" Bella bent down to him.
"Yeah." He says and then he smiles.
"Alright. Edward, take his stuff to the room." She orders me with a smile.
"Sure.." I say sarcastically and I carry his suitcase up the stairs and into the guest room.
I put his suitcase on the bed and take out some of the things. His blanket, pillow, pillow pet, I assume, I put on the bed. I put his diapers on the floor by a nightstand and I plug in a small nightlight. Then, I put some of his clothes in the drawers and some of his toys I left in the suitcase. I put his suitcase on the floor and I walk out the room. I walk downstairs and listen to Bella was watching Jonah as he colored in one of his books. She looked at me and then back at Jonah.
I have to admit, Jonah is pretty quiet. He got lost a few times just waddling around the house – he's walking now – but we were able to find him. He's not such a picky eater – I bet that's from Alice – and he loves getting attention – most likely from Alice as well.
"Alright, Jonah. It's time for bed." Bella says, looking at the time. It was probably way past his bedtime.
"Bath?" He asks, looking at Bella.
"Yeah. Come on." She picked him up and took him upstairs.
I looked at the time – time for the news – and I sat down and watched it. Lots of bad news, one lady gave birth on the subway, one man got robbed AT subway... Well then..
I woke up the next day and Bella was still sleeping. I kissed her head softly and got out of bed. I went to the room Jonah was sleeping in and he was still sleeping, thank god. I went downstairs and made some pancakes when my cell rang. "Hello?"
"Edward?" It was Rose. She sounded.. different.
"Rose? What's up?" I looked at the time – 8:23 – and I scooped the pancakes onto a plate.
"I need to tell you something.. And it's very important." She whispers.
"What's wrong?" I ask, putting the plate on the counter.
"I.."
CUT OFF! :D What do you think is wrong with Rose?
And many people are curious about her pregnancy – this one is supposed to be an easier one. I'm still debating on whether this should be the one or not..
