It was never mine and never will be, sadly.
FanFic was being a big meany & wouldn't let me post this when I wanted to which was yesterday at 4 pm (CST) but the FANFICTION(DOT)NET ERROR TYPE 2 message was what I was met with every damn time. Grrrrrr!
A/N: Hmmm...No one asked for a tease. Oh well, it saved time for me to write this chapter 'cause it'll be split in two parts. Alice and Bella pregnant at the same time? That should be interesting.
See you at the bottom!
Enjoy!

Previously:
"I wonder if Angela'll want to come," I thought aloud. I went back to the get together when I saw her all those years after high school. She met Edward and I at the coffee shop. Her hair was longer, kind brown eyes, she still had glasses but she'd grown into her height. She filled out nicely. Ben was like the hot nerd; incredibly smart, blue eyes, black hair, muscular but he still wore those nice button downs. I'd imagine he had about ten of them. Angela squealed when she saw me, we hugged, we talked about our careers and then she spent most of her time drooling over Edward. Ben didn't mind, though. He still had her heart and Edward was just something to look at.
"Invite her," Edward smiled.
"I think I will."

Together can never be close enough for me
Feel like I am close enough to you
You wear white and I'll wear out the words 'I love you'
And 'you're beautiful'
Now that the wait is over
And love and has finally shown her my way

The next week...
I've got my suit, my shoes, and everything I'm going to wear. I am responsible for the honeymoon and plane tickets, Mom and Renee are responsible for the food and drinks, Alice is responsible for the flowers, the invites, and Bella's makeup and hair, Rose is responsible for the music, Em and Jazz are responsible for entertaining me tonight without getting me drunk, Dad and Charlie are responsible for the seating, and Bella...she's buying her own dress and shoes.
Now I had one more errand to run. Bella wanted Bunny Tracks ice cream before I had to leave her for the night and everyone is with us. Tomorrow was the wedding and Alice-being a tradition freak-wouldn't let me near her after we got back from the store so I stalled, walking up and down the aisles as she looked for her ice cream. I didn't want to leave her, I wanted to take care of her for the night, tending to her every need, every craving she had. Alice made Bella take her engagement ring off so she could have it cleaned and shined. She wasn't allowed to have it back until after the ceremony.
I was reading the back of a jelly jar when I heard Bella's voice and a slap. "Ow!"
She was upset. I put the jelly back and just as she came into my view, I saw her stumble back, catching herself against the freezer door but she landed on her ass. Gianna was standing there with her arms folded and a satisfied smirk on her face at Bella's tears. Normally, she wouldn't cry but she was pregnant, what do you expect?
I saw red. Never have I ever wanted to hit a woman in my life until now, at this very moment. I so badly wanted to punch the skank. "Did you just slap and fucking push my fiancée?"
"No. She made it look like I did." That has got to be the biggest lie ever.
"What you failed to realize, young lady," my mom's angry voice said, "is that I am right behind you. And I saw everything just as I rounded the corner. What right do you have harrassing a pregnant woman?"
"Preg-pregnant?" Gianna's face paled. "H-how?"
"Does he seriously need to explain how getting pregnant happens.." -wince- "...for you to understand the situation? Will that get you to back the hell off?" Bella sneered from the floor.
"Yes, she's pregnant, you evil bitch. I am so fucking tired of seeing you everywhere I go, it's like you're stalking me. Quit. Your. Shit. Already. I swear to God, I have never wanted to kick a woman's ass so much. I can get you arrested for assault, you know? Her father's a cop and he's in this very store. Let's get this straight for the last time, Gianna. I love Bella, not you. I'm always going to love her and I'm marrying her tomorrow, not you. I love being around her, I can barely stand you. You're mean, shallow, manipulative and I'm pretty sure you're not all there. I will never feel anything for you but annoyance and disgust. I've told you that since the moment you tried to jump me as my Italian tutor but it's grown all the more every time you insult her. Keep your hands off of Bella and stay the fuck away from my family. If you don't, I will file a restraining order on you. You're a cold person and you seriously need to fill your hours with something other than stalking me or trying to hit my girl. You need to stop." I caught my breath and helped Bella stand.
"Are you okay, baby?"
"Yeah," she layed her head against my chest as I stroked her hair. She had a red mark on her cheek. I turned and saw two very angry parents and friends standing to the side, watching the confrontation play out.
"Am I hearing this right, Edward?" Charlie asked me. "This woman assaulted my daughter? In a goddamned grocery store of all places?"
"Yes, Charlie," my mom answered. "She slapped Bella in the face and pushed her down. I don't care if she had a reason, which there probably isn't one but I believe you never harrass pregnant woman. Edward, do you know this girl?"
"She's Gianna Sorrentini. My old Italian tutor."
"Wow, I didn't recognize her. Surgery?"
"It's highly likely."
"Oh, I will kick this bitch's ass," Rosalie snarled and charged for Gianna only to be held back by Emmett. "Let me at her, Em! I'll ruin that nose job!"
"No, baby. She's not worth hurting your knuckles over."
"Bells," Charlie turned to his daughter, "do you want to file a restraining order?"
"No"..."Yes," Bella, Alice and her mother said at the same time.
"Why not?" Renee asked, astounded. Ali just nodded.
"This is supposed to be a happy time, Mom. I don't want to ruin it with police junk. But if there's anything wrong with my baby when he or she is born or if she tries anything else, you can definitely file one."
"Leave now, miss. And don't come near my daughter or Edward again."
Gianna stood there scared.
"You heard her," Jasper shooed. "Go."
"I won't hold Rosie back next time," Em told her, holding a still struggling, angry blond.
"And I'll help her," Alice added. "I don't care that I'm knocked up."
Gianna hightailed her ass out of the store and we all walked the other direction to pay for the ice cream.
- - - G I T M - - -
"I'm going to miss you."
"I'll miss you, too, sweetheart."
Bella and I have been saying goodbye for the last ten minutes. She's straddling me on the edge of our bed with her fingers tugging on my hair and her lips brushing soft kisses on my neck. It felt so good. God, the things I want to do to her. But I have to wait for our honeymoon. I squeezed her to me then she tipped my head back and crushed her lips to mine.
"I love you," she breathed as soon as we parted.
"I love you, too."
She got off my lap and gave me one more kiss. "Bye."
"Bye, baby." I watched her walk to the door with her phone, her purse and a small bag in hand but as soon as she got to the door she turned and ran right back to me, wrapping her arms around my neck. I chuckled and hugged her back then kissed her shoulder.
"I'm." -Kiss- "Going." -Kiss- "Now." -Kiss-
"Alright," I snorted. "Tomorrow."
"Tomorrow."
As she walked out, Em and Jazz walked in. "Hey, bitch! You ready for the Rush Hour marathon? We've got pizza and beer but we won't let you get drunk. Rosie won't let me either. She said she'll cut off my dick."
"Alice said something like that. But it was about my balls," Jasper grinned.
"We're all whipped."
We watched all three movies, laughed, ate the pizza, and drank two beers each before we sacked out in the living room. Em took the floor, Jazz took the loveseat and I took the bigger couch. Jasper said he was happy when Ali told him the news of her pregnancy and her parents took it well. Rose had supposedly asked Em to knock her up so all the girls could have babies at the same time. He even asked me if Bella and I could have sex while she was pregnant or if she'd have to 'diddle her skittle'. That remark earned him a punch to the shoulder and a laugh from Jazz as I shook my head. Of course we could have sex and the best thing...I didn't have to wear a condom! She's going to feel amazing.
The next morning I received a text from Bella.
Your soon to be wife misses cuddling with you. -B
I miss it, too. How'd you sleep? -E
It was eh. I took a few of your fabric softener sheets & rubbed them all over my pillow. -B
Haha, you're adorable. Why didn't I think of that? I could have sprayed some of your body mist on the couch. -E
Why'd you sleep on the couch? -B
I didn't want to sleep in our bed without you. -E
That was so corny but so sweet. Are you ready for our shotgun wedding? -B
Shotgun wedding? -E
You know...when a boy is late coming to get the girl for a date and he finds out she's pregnant when her dad comes outside with a shotgun and asks 'Guess who else is late'? He has to marry her or he'll be killed. Get it? -B
I threw my head back and laughed. Haha I get it. But only the pregnancy part fits with us cuz I'm not being forced into marrying you, I WANT to marry you. -E
Okay so half of a shotgun wedding? :) -B
Yes, baby. Half. -E
You're laughing at me aren't you? -B
No, I miss you. *pouts* -E
I miss you. I gotta go now. Ali is being Ms. Bossy Boots this morning. -B
Ok. See you. -E
"Let's get you married, Ed," Jasper clapped me on the shoulder.
"Time to get married." To my soulmate.
BPOV
I found out a small and simple wedding isn't simple to Alice. No, it's never simple and I was crazy to think that. She went nuts and she'll probably plan hers and Rose's wedding as well. Her parents' house was decorated to the nines: flowers all over, twinkling lights, candles, pretty much anything that's in a huge wedding is here, packed in this place. I took my mom with me to get my dress because knowing Alice, she would have gotten something that costed over two thousand dollars.
My dress was a simple, white halterneck dress with silver embellished straps and under the bust and my shoes were sequin band, slip on, two inch sandals. I didn't want to wear five inch heels for my wedding, I'm a klutz at most times. Alice sort of twisted my hair and clipped it in a bun thing with a large clip at the back of my neck, gave me a smoky eye and pale pink lips, then gave me diamond hoops to wear in my ears. She also made me take off all my rings, saying 'the only one you should be wearing today is your wedding ring...after you say I do' or something like that. My fingers felt naked.
All the women looked amazing in their dresses. Alice: a teal, strapless dress and heels with blue and turquoise straps; Esme: a silver, mesh dress with silver and purple heels; Rose: a dark green and black satin dress with black peep toe slingbacks; Vanessa: a pink floral dress with pink t-strap wedge sandals and my mom: a gold and champagne colored dress with nude pumps. I also knew that my dad, Edward, and Carlisle were wearing suits and Em, Jazz, and Jake were wearing button downs.
Angela and Ben couldn't come because their families were going on vacation to Colorado and Billy and Sasha couldn't come either. They were still on their honeymoon and speaking of honeymoons, Edward still hadn't told me where we were going. I really hope it was somewhere out of the United States, I've never been out of the U.S., only on the west coast. I've always wanted to go to New York, maybe Paris, and London, too! I'd have to wait until our baby arrived. I patted my sort of flat belly and smiled.
"I hope you grow strong and healthy, little one. I can't wait to meet you and I hope you won't give me too much trouble. No hard kicking or jumping on my bladder. I have your middle name picked out; if you're a boy, it'll be Charles, after my father and if you're a girl, it will be Renee after my mother. They'll love that. The second baby will be named after your Daddy's parents. I already love you."
"I want a baby," Rosalie sighed from the doorway. "I wanna be pregnant along with you and Ali."
"I thought everyone had left. Maybe you'll get lucky tonight. Get Em drunk and take advantage of him."
Alice was excited to hear that she and I were pregnant at the same time but she was due in late March. My parents were shocked at first but once it soaked in, they were excited about their future granddaughter or grandson. I honestly hope I have a boy, I've heard that having a girl will be harder to raise and will lead to a bitchy teenager who loves rebelling then jumping on the back of a motorcycle with some boy who thinks wearing a leather jacket and smoking makes him cool. I don't know how my mom and dad did it, but I never turned out that way and if I try hard enough when a daughter comes, neither will she. Jake was excited about the baby, too and it motivated him more to have children with Vanessa when they got older.
"Maybe I will. Maybe the idea of his sister and his brother having children will make him want to have babies with me."
"He will," I smiled. "When Edward found out I wanted to have babies with him, he was so happy."
"How did it play out?"
"Um...he was telling me how every part of my body was perfect and when he got to my tummy, he said he loved the little pooch and I said it wouldn't look good on top of a pregnant stomach so I wanted to get rid of it. His eyes got all shiny and he looked up at me with these exact words 'You want to have babies with me?' It was so cute."
"Wow. If I wasn't so hot for his brother and Edward wasn't absolutely crazy about you, I'd put the moves on him," she wiggled her eyebrows.
"Then I'd have to kick some ass," Emmett broke in with a smile on his face.
"Have you been eavesdropping?"
"I swear I wasn't Rosie. I just happened to hear your conversation."
"That's eavesdropping."
"So are you going to get me drunk and take advantage of me tonight?"
"If you're lucky."
"'Cause I'm all for babies, you know? We can have lots of rugrats."
"Really?" Rose perked up, her eyes shining with excitement.
"Yeah, when do you wanna start?"
"Not in front of me," I interrupted. "Don't wanna see that." I walked to the door and poked my head out, "Ali, are we ready?"
"Yes. Charlie, she's ready."
I heard the music start up as my dad met me at the staircase and Alice raced down the steps to sit down. I hooked my arm around his elbow and we started descending the steps. I looked around, seeing everyone that was here; it was small, just what I wanted. Both sets of parents sat in the two front rows, Carlisle and Esme on the right, my mom and dad on the left, Jake and Vanessa sat behind them and sitting behind them was Jazz and Ali. Sitting behind Carlisle was Em and Rose and then another couple I didn't recognize were behind them, a blond man and a short-haired brunette woman.
Lastly, I looked at Edward. He was looking at me with love in his eyes and a smile on his face. I smiled and mouthed 'hi'; he mouthed back 'I love you'. As we approched the front, Charlie kissed my cheek and handed me off to Edward and he took my hand as the reverend started. We exchanged the usual words and then the 'I dos' came.
"Edward, do you take this woman as you're lawfully wedded wife?" the reverend asked.
He nodded fervently and slipped my ring on once again, earning a laugh from the others. He looked like a little boy about to have his first piece of candy and I squeezed his hands before the reverend turned to me.
"Isabella, do you take this man as your lawfully wedded husband?"
"I do," I answered, sliding his ring on for the first time.
"Then by the power vested in me by the state of Washington, I now pronounce you man and wife. Edward you may kiss your bride." He pulled me into a dip and crushed his lips to mine as our families clapped and whistled. He set me upright and we waited for the pastor to speak.
"I present Mr. and Mrs. Cullen."
"I love you, Edward."
"I love you, too."
- - - G I T M - - -
The reception moved into the back yard and the kitchen. Edward and I had already cut the cake, listened to speeches, and danced our first dance. Everyone was laughing and socializing and not paying attention so I could take my shoes off without being noticed, and my dress was long enough to cover my feet. Just as I kicked the heels under a table, Jake and Vanessa were behind me. I'd been caught.
"Sorry, my feet were hurting."
"Bella, you look beautiful," Vanessa complimented.
"Thank you. Have you guys planned anything yet? Dresses, cakes, music?"
"Not yet," Jake answered. "We have about $2,000 left to save up and then we'll start planning. You do look hot, B."
I blushed. "Thank you, Jake. Aren't the parents supposed to pay for the wedding?"
"Yeah, they are but my dress is expensive along with Jake's tux. I'm having the shop save it for me."
"Baby girl," my dad's voice called. "Come see me." My mom and him were talking to Edward's parents.
"Coming," I said and turned to my friends. "Excuse me." I saw Jake walk to the food table, obviously then shuffled to my father and wrapped my arms around his waist. "Hi, Daddy are you having a good time?"
"Best wedding I've ever been to."
My mom glared at him.
"Except mine," he chuckled nervously.
"I thought you were once divorced," Esme said.
"No, we were never divorced," my mom replied. "Just separated. I...uh...I went through a really bad time and it was the biggest mistake I had ever made. I left my family to live like a college girl and hurt the two people I love most. I woke them up one night begging to be let back in, Charlie being the most wonderful man that he was, welcomed me but made me work for his forgiveness."
"I, unfortunately caught them in the kitchen, if you know what I mean," I laughed. "My seventeen year old eyes were blinded momentarily."
"Oh, dear," Esme giggled.
"That had to have been embarrassing," Carlisle added.
"It was. I soon got Charlie's love back but Bella hated me. She spent the first three months calling me Renee and I understood why. I broke my little girl's heart by doing what I did and I regret it every day. Every time I looked in her eyes, I saw the pain and fear that I'd do it again. I made her feel unworthy of my love for her and her father."
A tear ran down her cheek so I leaned over and hugged her. "I forgave you, Mom. It may not have been as quick as Dad's but it did, you have my forgiveness." My mom is a good two inches taller than me so whenever I hugged her, and when I'd put my head down, it fit right by her neck. Her heels were a plus. Having tall parents is a good thing for me and having an even taller husband is better.
"You've been through a lot," Carlisle cleared his throat.
"Yeah, we have. Now my baby's married and having a baby," my dad sighed. "They grow up too fast. How are you feeling, Bells?"
"I'm fine. Everything's fine. I'm not that far along so the morning sickness hasn't hit me full force. Five weeks along isn't that far is it?"
"No, just wait until you hit twelve weeks," my mom answered. "I was throwing up at least three times a day with you. It's worth it, though. You were such a beautiful, sweet baby when you arrived."
"Always smiling, cooing and kicking your legs," my dad snorted. "Chubby cheeks and legs, my eyes but your mother's beauty."
I blushed, becoming really interested in the hem of my dress.
"Edward was an adorable baby as well. Crazy, bright red hair, big green eyes, he was a little chunky thing, too. I guess Bella and him were made for each other. He laughed and squealed, bouncing in his crib. It was a joy to get him from his bed every day, he was a happy baby in the morning," Esme explained, grinning.
"Aw!" I crooned. "I'm guessing he grew out of the red hair."
She nodded. "I hoped he would always have it but when he hit three it turned the same odd color that mine is but it'll always be messy and unable to tame. No clue where his troll hair came from."
Suddenly, Jasper sidled up next to me, hugging me with one arm. "Hey, Bells. Edward wanted me to find you before I went back to Alice. He's in the sitting room."
"Okay, thanks, Jazz. Excuse me, duty calls," I smiled and kissed both my parents' cheeks before starting down the hall. My furry little man met me at the foyer, sitting in front of my feet, whining. He looked so tired. I picked Oreo up and hugged his brown and white body to me. "Are you worn out, sweet puppy? Where have you been? You better not get dirt on me, mister." I looked at his paws, they were clean.
He licked my arm and fell asleep seconds later. Poor thing must have had more excitement than a puppy was able to take in on a daily basis. Emmett and Rose were nowhere to be found so I assumed Rose was "getting him drunk". I wish my Grandma Higginbotham could be here to see me marry, I miss her more then I did when she was alive but it was a good thing Edward's grandparents were coming to visit next month. I need some grandparenting from someone. My daddy's parents weren't alive either, they died before I was born. I entered the sitting room a few minutes later. My husband was sitting on one of the sofas, his tie undone, jacket off and his feet crossed over one another on the coffee table. The couple I didn't recognize were sitting across from him on the smaller couch, laughing with him. What a beautiful man...and he's mine!
"Can I see your baby pictures?" I asked, announcing my presence, petting my puppy's back.
"Um, why?"
"So I can see if your hair was as red as your mom said it was."
"Lord," he snorted. "Um, just think of Carrot Top's hair and there you go."
"Oh, that's awesome! Why is it the color of a faded penny now, though?"
"I don't know. My mom did it, I guess. Baby, are you barefoot? Is Oreo sleeping?"
"He's tired and wanted his momma. And yes I am barefoot. Those shoes were squeezing my feet. Get over it, Cullen."
"Oh, I'm over it...Cullen," he shot back with the same last name, my new last name.
"You just love that, don't you?"
"Immensely. Where are your shoes?"
I tapped my chin. "Under a table."
"That's a beautiful ring," the dark haired woman admired.
"Thank you."
"C'mere," Edward crooked his finger. "I want you to meet Peter and Charlotte Cameron."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Bella."
"Oh, we know who you are. Edward won't shut up about you. You're a beauty," Peter said, making me blush.
"Aw, that's a cute puppy!" Charlotte cooed. "May I hold him?"
"Sure." I carefully passed Oreo into her arms. "He's really sleepy. I don't know if he'll be much fun."
"It's okay." I made a move to sit next to Edward but he gripped my waist and pulled me in his lap, kissing my temple.
"Hi," he said. "I missed you."
"Hello. I missed you, too." I reached behind my head and unclipped my hair because the barrette was itchy. I placed the clip on the table as Edward's fingers unraveled my hair, brushing it over my shoulder. "Where are you taking me tomorrow?"
"Rome."
My eyes bugged. "No shit?"
"No shit."
I grabbed him by the ears and kissed him hard. "Thank you! I love you forever!"
"I love you, too, sweetheart."
"How do you take care of hair that long?" Charlotte asked.
"No clue. I guess I trim it when needed and brush it out. Is there any other way?"
"I love her hair," Edward smiled.
"Of course you do, man," Peter said. "Now, where were we?"
"You were ogling my wife."
A/N: Part two will be up in three to four days!
Okay now that I know for a fact that she's due in April or May can you give me an exact date? I tried to figure it out this morning but I didn't have enough patience for it. I HATE math and being out of high school makes me worse at it.
