14. Little Surprises

Darkness surrounds me.

No noise.

No light.

I'm all alone here.

And it really sucks.

I don't know how long I've been like this, maybe a minute...but who knows. At this point I could very well stay like this forever.

Oh my God...am I dead?

No, I can't be dead...unless...no I can't be. This surely isn't heaven, heaven wouldn't be this painful.

The pain was increasing, more pain as time went by. Pain in my head, pain in my wrist, and sharp pain in the fold of my elbow.

Crap that really hurts.

All of a sudden, I heard buzzing in my ears. At first it was so low, I wasn't sure if it was real but slowly it got louder and louder. Then I heard them....the voices.

"Bella, Bella...this is Dr. Young, Bella can you open your eyes for me?"

Dr. Young?

The voice spoke louder, "Dr. Cullen! She's coming around!"

Dr. Cullen? Edward!

Then I heard him, "Bella?" I could feel his breath very close to my ear, "Open your eyes for me, baby...can you open your eyes?"

I tried to open them but it was so hard. My entire body felt so heavy.

"Vitals, please," he called out.

Another voice responded, "98% SpO2, heart rate 81, B..P. 106/58, Resp. 20, Temp. 98.8 and they are ready for her in CT, Dr. Cullen."

CT? What the...

"Bella," he said, "You hit your head on the pavement. We need to take you to CT, can you open your eyes for me?"

I tried as heard as I could again, to open my eyes. Slowly, painfully slowly, they opened. At first it was too bright to keep them open for more then a split second, but my eyes slowly adjusted. I could make out blurry figures moving around me and the beeping sound also increased. And then, after a few blinks, there he was.

A smiled spread across his beautiful face, "Hey there, beautiful."

-Edward-

Thank God.

I let out a heavy breath.

It's been nearly five minutes since she blacked out. Her entire body was non-responsive and her vitals were low. She looked so broken laying on the gurney pale and still.

Her eyes slowly fluttered opened and she looked around.

I quickly went back again to doctor mode, "Bella? Do you know what day of the week it is?"

I assessed normal neurological functions, such as mental health and reflexes. I would have to assess her reflexes again in a couple of hours...they were a bit slow. But over all, she to be coming around.

"What happened? Where s Masen?" she whispered.

My heart swelled with happiness. In the middle of this crisis, she worries about my son.

I gently caressed her cheek with the back of my hand, "He's fine, Bella. He's in my office with Seth."

She tried to nod but the neck brace was preventing her from doing so. Panic flashed in her eyes.

"It's okay, baby." I leaned in closer to her, "I put a neck brace on you...just to be safe."

A tear trickled down her cheek and she whispered, "Okay."

Dr. Young came back into the room, "Dr. Cullen, they're waiting."

I nodded, kissed Bella's cheek and whispered against her soft skin, "Dr. Young is going to take you to CT, we want to make sure you're perfect, okay?"

I pulled back just enough to see her eyes, "Where are you going?" she asked.

I smiled at her, "I'm going to check on some blood tests we ran," her eyes went wide, "Don't worry, it's just procedure. I'll see you in a bit, okay?"

"Okay," she sighed and looked at Dr. Young.

Dr. Young was looking curiously between Bella and I before she and a RN wheeled Bella to CT.

I didn't care anymore. I didn't want to hide the fact that Bella was my wife any longer.

With that thought, I walked to the closest computer to pull up Bella's lab results.

-Bella-

Dr. Young and Susan, the RN, kept glancing down at me.

Did I look that bad?

How hard did I hit my head?

Susan cleared her throat, "So...how do you know Dr. Cullen, Bella?"

Her question was...random, "Um..."

Shit, what do I say?

Dr. Young stepped in, "I don't think that's any of our business, Susan."

Susan rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath, "Jeez, just asking."

We rolled into a big white room with a fancy looking CT machine. I heard a door open from the other end of the room and two more people, I assume the CT tech's, were at my side. They gently transferred me to the CT bed and strapped me down to the bed.

One of the CT tech's asked, "Ms. Swan, you'll have to keep very still during the procedure. Are you claustrophobic?" I said no, "Is there any chance you might be pregnant?"

Was there a chance?

Well...I don't know.

"I, um...I-," I didn't finish my answer because the hall way door slammed open.

I saw Edward run through the doors panicked, "STOP!"

Everyone in the room froze and slowly turned to him.

Dr. Young spoke up, "Excuse me, Dr. Cullen?"

He was by my side un-strapping me from the bed, "We can't do this."

I looked at Dr. Young for an explanation but she looked as confused as I was, "Uh...Dr. Cullen, she needs a CT scan."

Edward sternly said, "No. I need to speak to Bella...in private."

Susan huffed and stormed out of the room, Dr. Young and the two CT tech's shortly followed.

As soon as the door closed I spoke, "What's going on, Edward?"

He sat on the edge of the bed and took my hand in his, "Bella..."

He looked down at our hands, I gently squeezed his, "What is it?"

He sighed and ran his free hand through his hair, "God, I don't know how to say this."

Terror washed through me. What was wrong with me? Was it life threatening? I let out a shaky breath, "Just tell me, what ever it is."

He nodded, looked straight into my eyes and said, "Bella, we're pregnant."

What?!

-Edward-

I couldn't believe it.

I'm going to be a father...again.

I was on the computer checking Bella's lab results. I skimming over them when my eyes froze on one particular test. It was positive.

Bella was pregnant.

Bella was pregnant with my baby.

I knew it was mine, I heard Alice in Vegas when she said Mike and her haven't been...together in a while.

My whole body went numb for a whole minute before I realized what procedure Bella was about to do.

FUCK!

I jumped out of the chair and sprinted to the CT rooms. I checked all the rooms before I got to the last one.

Of course she'd be in the last one.

I flew through the door and yelled at them to stop. They all froze and slowly looked at me, I must have looked like a lunatic. I asked them for some privacy because I needed to speak to Bella. They all stepped out of the room, with the exception of that nurse; she stormed out. I started untying the restraints.

She looked over my face and asked, "What's going on, Edward?"

I sat on the edge of the bed and took her hand in mine, "Bella..."

Shit, how was I gonna say this?

Would she be happy? Would she be mad? Sad? Hurt? Would she hurt me?

Crap...I didn't think this through.

I looked down at our intertwined hands and she gently squeezed mine.

She softly asked, "What is it?"

I didn't know how to say this. It's kind of weird, the woman usually tells the man the big news...not the other way around.

I sighed and ran my hand through my hair, "God, I don't know how to say this."

All the blood drained from her face. She looked scared.

God, she's going to take this badly.

She let out a shaky breath, "Just tell me, what ever it is."

She's right. There is no way around this.

So I nodded, looked straight into her eyes and said, "Bella, we're pregnant."

There, I said it.

She gaped, opening and closing her mouth...over and over again until she squeaked out, "What?"

I sighed and smiled at her, "Bella, we're going to have a baby...you're pregnant."

Her eyes started watering, "Are..." she swallowed, "...are you sure? H-how do you know?"

I quietly chuckled, "A pregnancy test is one of the routine tests we give our female patients." She blinked a couple of times and took a deep breath, "what are you thinking?"

She laughed quietly, "I...I'm happy," she laughed a little more, "Masen's gonna be a big brother."

I couldn't help but laugh with her, "Yeah, I guess he is."

Suddenly, she stopped laughing and looked nervous, "How do you feel about it, Edward?"

I leaned in and softly kissed her lips and whispered against them, "This is more then I could have asked for, Bella. I'm...I can't even put into words how happy, thrilled, excited...there just isn't words." I gently placed my hand over her stomach, "It feels like my heart is going to burst from happiness, Bella."

She sighed contently and said, "Me too, Edward"

Yeah! And there you have it. Now, let's get the ball rolling.
