I'm back!

"Who? Kate?" I asked, concerned.
"Yes. She's coming soon, too." Rose replied.
"How soon is soon?"
"I don't know. I just know that it wasn't raining, so it was soon."
"Crap." I muttered and walked back up the stairs quickly. I opened the door to the spare bedroom quietly and looked at Edward. Could I afford to lose him again? No, obviously not, which meant that as soon as Rosalie knew the day that Kate would get here Edward and I were going to have to leave mysteriously. I sat on the bed as gently as I could, so as not to disturb his from his much needed sleep. Looking at his peaceful face and seeing his dreams and feeling how much love I had for him in my heart, I knew why Charlie hadn't wanted to change Julia. I still didn't understand about when when she was dying, though. Edward stirred a little and I moved over to him. His eyes opened slowly.
"Bella," he mumbled tiredly. I smiled and ran a hand through his messy hair. He smiled back and sat up, pulling me into him and kissing me.
"Good morning," I said when we pulled away, "I was think about what you said earlier about how you didn't have to sleep until August, you just graduated high school. You're free, well, unless you're going to college."
He smiled at the realization of the fact, "Thank God. I'm taking at least a year off for just us." he said, giving me a quick kiss.
"Aww, you don't have to do that. You need to think of yourself," I said, stroking his cheek.
"I know, I was going to take a year off either way. I just have you as my excuse now."
"Um . . . thank you, I think?"
"It was meant in a good way, I swear," he said. I got off his lap and got up, he followed. He got dressed and I left the room, going down the stairs. Alice was eating crackers and staring blankly at the TV. I sat next to her.
"Hey, what 'cha thinkin' about?" I asked.
"What I'm going to do about having a kid. I mean, I just graduated high school. What am I going to do about college? About a job? I'm still a kid myself." she sighed and put her head in her hands.
"There's a lot of things to do, Alice. There's adoption, th-" she cut me off.
"I've been thinking about that alot lately. I think I'm going to do that. Now that I know I can have a kid with Jasper I'd rather marry him and have a baby the right way."
"You didn't let me finish, very few women live through a pregnancy produced by a vampire, it was made that way for a reason. The only way we'd possibly be able to have you live if you go through with the pregnancy is to change you as soon a you give birth, and the pregnancy will be very painful. Broken bones, bruises, et cetra. The only way to keep you human would be to abort the pregnancy, and I know that that's hard to concider, but you aren't going to want to endure the pain, either the pain of turning into a vampire or the pregnancy."
"I don't want an abortion, though."
"I know, just think about all your options. Charlie is here to help with anything you need help with."
"Yeah. Can have have some time to think?"
"Of course, go ahead." I said, getting up and walking out to the kitchen. Edward was there eating breakfast. I sat down next to him and kissed his cheek. He smiled and squeezed my shoulders. It seemed so peaceful, the way things were right now.
"Oh! I forgot to mention earlier, Charlie got all of us tickets to go to Mexico. You up to going?"
"Of course!" he said and smiled.
Hey, I guess I kind of owe you guys an explanation. . . I quit writing this for a while because of really bad writers block, then I did it because I wanted to work on other Fan Fics. and then I discovered this website, Inkpop (Link to my account on my profile page), where you can post your own writing, not steal your characters and plot points from other authors, not that I don't love it here. I'd been trying to write a book for a while and having an account on Inkpop gave me the freedom to post what I wanted to write about using my own stuff and I really liked it. Right now I'm working on a huge projects for there, so I won't be posting as much as I used to, and school is a lot busier than it used to be. I actually have homework every night, there are days where I don't even get to open my laptop, let alone sit down and write. Plus, we're doing high school registration and it's crazy, I've been looking at colleges, I've been waiting eagerly for the results of the lottery for the option high school I applied for that's amazing, it's an honors liberal arts charter school that's free, all you pay for is your uniform. If I don't go there I'm going to the regular high school, which I just toured recently, and it's HUGE! Seriously, it's like a college campus. Then I'm going into honors english next year, which means I'll also have summer reading and a project to do, and a huge family reunion in July. It's going to be a very busy year. Basically, don't expect too many updates, because I have a lot on my plate.
