CHAPTER 21
BELLA'S POV
I hadn't been out of the bedroom since three days ago. The only reason I wasn't allowed out was because a couple of days ago I decided that I wanted to go for a little walk, but nobody wanted to go with me so I went by myself. Little did I know that after ten minutes of myself being gone Edward and his family had sent out of search party for me.
I could tell Edward's fatherly instincts were kicking in because every time I wanted to go and take a shower I would be escorted by Edward just in case I slipped and hurt myself.
"Bella" I heard someone call. I waddled out of the wood robe and saw Alice and Rose standing there in their bathing suits.
"Hey" I said as I pulled on my red maternity dress that Alice had brought for me the last time we went shopping together.
"Wanna come down to the pool with us?" Rosalie asked. I sat down on the bed and thought about what Edward would say. "Oh come on Bella, we'll be back before he even notices your gone" I sighed and shrugged.
"Fine, let's go" I said. "But I'm not getting in" The squealed and pulled me down the long hallways until we got to the outside pool. The sun was shining which made the water sparkle brightly.
I sat down on the edge of the pool with the help of Alice and dipped my feet into the warm water. I leant back onto my hands and raised my head up to the sky. It felt as though I hadn't been outside for eternity.
Alice and Rose dived into the water and swam around giggling and splashing water at each other.
All of a sudden I felt a big splash of water fall on top of me. I spat out some that got into my mouth and turned around to find Emmett and Jasper standing their smirking at me.
"Hey there Belly" Emmett said as he sat down next to me.
"Hello to you to, boys" I said as Jasper placed a towel on my back and wrapped it around me to keep me warm.
"I'm picking Edward doesn't know you're out here?" Jasper said as he sat on the other side of me.
"Of course he doesn't, if he did do you think it would just be Alice, Rose and myself?" I said.
"Good point" Jazz said.
"Hello kids" Someone said behind us. I turned around and saw Esme and Carlisle walking towards us carrying some food and cold drinks. My stomach growled and the baby kicked trying to tell me that he wanted food too.
Wait, did I tell you that were having a baby boy on 14th November. Edward was extremely happy that someone would be able to take the throne after Edward and I were gone while Emmett and Jasper were excited to teach someone football and wrestle with.
I knew Alice and Rose would much prefer having a baby girl to dress up, but at least they have one child that they can have fun with.
My parents and Edward's parents are just as excited as we are. Mum and Esme won't stop talking about how fun it is going to be when they get to baby sit their grandbaby.
"Come on, Bella. We'll sit you up on one of the chair under the shade" Carlisle said as he helped me up.
I shuffled over to the chair and sat down. Esme had already poured me a glass of lemonade and was now opened the packet of double chocolate chip cookies that I had a craving for.
"BELLA" Someone barked. I looked over to the other side of the pool and saw Edward rushing towards me with three of his men following closely behind. "WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT LEAVING THE BEDROOM?"
"Edward, stop yelling" Carlisle said calmly. I just sat there and munched on my cookie not wanting to say anything that would upset Edward even more.
I watched as Edward took a deep breath in and then looked down at me.
"Edward, don't get so worked up" I explained. "I came out here with Alice and Rosalie" Edward growled and turned around to find Alice and Rose hiding behind their husbands.
"Explain to me why you took Bella out of our room without consulting me?" He asked. Alice gulped and stepped out from behind Jasper and walked towards Edward.
"Because she's been stuck there for two days-" Alice started before I cut her off.
"Three actually" I said.
"Ok, she's been stuck in there for three days straight" Alice explained. "You can't just keep her in there. I know you're worried she's going to get hurt if she leaves the room but you have to have faith in her"
"Yeah. When we took her down to the pool we all agreed that she wouldn't go in, but she would watch from the side" Rosalie said.
"What made you even think about taking her to the pool" Edward growled. "What if she had slipped and fallen into the pool"
"Edward, she was sitting at the edge of the pool and not long after we got in Emmett and Jasper go there" Rosalie said. But what they were saying didn't seem to be calming Edward down.
"Your mother and I got here after too" Dad said. "Which meant that nothing would have happened to her no matter what"
"I guess you're right" Edward mumbled and sat down next to me. "I'm sorry I over reacted" I smiled and kissed his check. He pulled me over and sat me on his lap. He rested his hand on my stomach just as the baby started kicking really hard. He smiled and placed a small kiss on my stomach.
"You know, I don't mind if you go skinny dipping" Edward whispered. I giggled and shook my head.
"You might not, but I'm pretty sure your family would"
Edward's POV
Tonight we decided that we would all go out and pick Charlie, Renee and Jacob up from the airport and then head out for a big family dinner.
Their plane was going to be landing in ten minutes and Bella was still sitting in the bath.
"Honey, I'm sorry, but we really need to go and get your family" I said. She pouted but raised her arms so I could help her out. She got changed into a beautiful long, navy dress that showed off her large baby bump now.
"You look beautiful" I said as I pecked her on the lips.
"Thanks, but I don't know what shoes I'm allowed to wear?" She whined.
"What do you mean allowed to where?" I said.
"Alice normally tells me what matches and what doesn't, but she hasn't and I don't want to get onto her bad side" She said.
"Hun, maybe you should take it off then, it does look a little long" I said. "I don't want you to trip over it" She rolled her eyes and waddled to the wood-robe and chucked on a pair of what Alice said were Silver Gladiator Sandals.
"Ok, I'm ready to go" She said. I smiled and escorted her out to the limo that the rest of the family was already waiting for us in.
I helped Bella in and then got in after her. But just as the driver started the car Bella screamed out a massive 'STOP'.
"What, what's wrong?" I cried.
"IS IT TIME?" Alice cried.
"OH MY GOD SHE'S HAVING THE BABY" Rose screamed.
"Shit, I'm not ready to be an uncle yet" Emmett whined.
"Don't start pushing whatever you do" Esme said.
"EVERYONE SHUT UP" Jasper yelled. Everyone stopped and looked at him.
"I just had to go pee, that's all" Bella whispered. Everyone sighed with relief and let Bella go to the bathroom.
"Here, I'll go with you love" I said.
"I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP EVERYWHERE I GO, EDWARD" She screamed before storming off towards the castle bathroom. I gulped and sat back into the car.
"It's just her hormones, son" Dad said as he pattered my back. "I remember when I used to get yelled at by your mother when she was pregnant with you"
"It's so hard to make her happy when you don't know where she's happy, sad or angry" I said.
"I remember when you're mother yelled at me at 2:30 in the morning" He said. "She kept saying that she wanted a can of Fanta"
"But you didn't give it to her" I said. He smiled and nodded.
"She was already 8 ½ months pregnant and her hormones where out of control" He explained. "And when I told her that I would get her one in the morning she let out this almighty scream that pretty much everyone in the castle heard"
"I had to, she wouldn't stop screaming" Dad laughed. I smiled just as Bella sat down next to me.
"You do not know how much better I feel after that" She smiled. My family laughed and told the driver that we could get going now.
We ended up at the airport ten minutes late, but that was all forgetting after Bella stepped out of the car.
Renee ended up crying because of how big Bella was getting and how soon the baby was going to be here.
"Are we ready to go to dinner, now?" Esme said. We all nodded and headed towards the Craft Restaurant.
Once we were home Bella got changed into her night gown and hoped into bed. Renee and Charlie where four rooms down from ours while Jacob was opposite ours.
"How long did you say your parents were staying for?" I asked. She smiled and placed my hand on her stomach where I could feel the babies kicking.
"Until the baby comes, Edward" She said before she fell asleep peacefully on my chest.
Until the baby comes, that's still a month away.
Great, now I'm going to have to put up with Charlie and Jacob watching my every move.
Absolutely perfect
