(Continued from last chapter)

"How exactly are we sure I'm pregnant?" I asked when Edward shut the door. I still didn't think it was real. How could I be one of the exceptions?

"Alice can't see us anymore…she should have been able to see me." He said, thinking to himself. "Carlisle has seen this before, Bella."

"So now what?" I didn't know what to think.

"Well, for one thing…it looks like you got what you wanted." Edward said, giving me a small smile. I nodded, laughing slightly. "Second, Carlisle suggested…indirectly, that you can go through with this if you want."

"It's not like a human's pregnancy, right?"

"Not even close, love." He replied, sitting down next to me on the couch.

"Is that a good thing? Or a bad thing?" I asked, confused. Edward thought about it for a moment and sighed.

"A good thing, I think."

"You think?"

"Bella, I'm not a doctor," He smirked, "Carlisle's seen this…not me."

"Right…sorry." I said, resting my head on his shoulder. He placed his hand over mine and sighed again.

"We'll figure something out." Edward promised, "Don't worry."

"I'm not worried," I replied, shaking my head, "I'm shocked actually…I just don't get it."

"That makes two of us," Edward said, "We must be the lucky ones."

"In a sick, twisted universe," I laughed, "I guess fate is in our favor."

"Looks like it, doesn't it?" He smiled, resting his forehead against mine.

"What do you hope it is?" I asked. Edward thought about it for a moment.

"To be honest, either sex. If it's a girl, I hope she looks like you, if it's a boy I also hope he looks like you." I smiled.

"If it's a boy, I want him to look like you," I said, "And if it's a girl, I want her to have at least a few of your features."

"I'll love our child no matter what." Edward smiled, kissing my forehead. I loved hearing him say our child.

I was glad the vampire pregnancy was easier than a human's. The only problem was that I still blew up like a balloon. It had only been a two weeks since we found out, and I looked like I was four months pregnant. I would occasionally feel him kick; it was a strong kick; it would crush my bones if they were not unbreakable. I wanted to meet this little person inside of me; to hold his hand, or kiss his nose. This child would be perfect. Edward came back from hunting with Emmett and Jasper. He sat down next to me on our bed and kissed my stomach. He would be a great father.

"Bella, have I ever told you how beautiful you are?"

"Yes, you have," I said, "But if you're trying to make me not call myself fat, it's not really working."

"You're not fat, Bella." He said, shaking his head, "And I'd still love you no matter what."

"You're just saying that." I teased.

"Bella, I would never tell you anything that's not true." Edward said, kissing the corner of my lips.

"So if I asked you how big I looked, you'd tell me the truth?"

"For the love of all that's holy, Bella," He laughed, "You're not fat. You're beautiful, and once our child is born, you'll be back to the way you were."

"You just admitted it," It was fun teasing him. He knew it anyways. He smirked and put a pillow over his face, sighing into it dramatically. After a few minutes, he took the pillow off his face and put his hands on my stomach. The baby kicked again, twice as hard as before. It was as if he could sense our touch.

"Bella, did you say something?" Edward asked. I shook my head.

"What? No." I replied, "What do you mean?"

"I thought I just heard—," He looked deep in concentration, moving his hands higher up on my stomach, "—I just heard it again."

"Heard what?" I asked.

"That's incredible," He laughed. He placed my hand under his, right above another kick. "I can hear him."

"What's he saying?" Edward could hear him? He could hear our baby?

"He loves us. He loves you a lot." Edward smiled, "And he's more like you. He likes our voices, Bella."

"Oh my god," I smiled, looking down at my stomach. I wanted him here with us now more than ever. "What else is he saying?"

"Bella, when did you last hunt?" Edward asked.

"Um, a few days ago, why?"

"I think he's thirsty," Edward replied, "He doesn't want animal blood."

"You mean I have to drink human blood?" I nearly groaned. I didn't like human blood as much as I did an animal's. This was going to be another hard part.

"Carlisle has some human blood in his office," Edward said, "I'll go get some." I nodded and waited for him to return.

A few minutes later Edward returned with a clear, plastic blood bag and a cup. "A cup?" I asked.

"Carlisle said this way would be easier." Edward answered, pouring the blood into it. I must have been an exception. The smell of human blood did not appeal to me well. Edward seemed at ease around it; it didn't bother him much. He handed it to me and watched with amusement as I nearly gagged it down. "You're the first, and only vampire I've ever seen, pass up human blood."

"It's revolting," I choked. "Drinking acid would be much more suitable."

Edward smiled, "He's happy now."

"Good, because mommy doesn't want to drink anymore human blood." I said, rubbing my hand over the places he kicked.

"Well for the next few weeks, that's all you'll be drinking," Edward said apologetically. "Carlisle said you can deliver within the next four weeks."

"That's so soon, though," I said.

"He's already stronger than us, Bella." Edward smirked, "Plus, you'll feel a duller pain than a human would."

"That makes me feel a little better, I guess." I said. "I have a name if it's a girl." I added after a moment.

"Let me hear it," Edward said, holding my hand.

"Renesmee," I replied, "I was mixing my mother's name and Esme's together, and I came up with Renesmee."

"I think it's perfect." He smiled, "…Unique."

"And I was thinking, since your father's name was Edward, and he handed that name down to you, we should name it Edward if it's a boy."

"I don't see why not," He said, pulling me closer, "I love both ideas." I smiled and leaned into his chest more.

"I love you."

"I love you too, Bella."

A/N: Really sorry! This should have been up yesterday, but I had to study for an exam so no electronics all day yesterday. That sucked bad, let me tell ya. But this chapter is up now, for you. A new story is on its way when I can find time to write it…maybe during my Christmas break. I don't know yet. I'm hoping updates will be a little faster. I'll try and post again tomorrow, if I can't then most definitely the day after.
