a/n: hey hey! I thought it was so funny how almost every review from last chapter started with yay! Lol! Speaking of which, thanks for all your reviews!


I Just Couldn't Wait, Could I?

After abruptly being dragged from my house and taken to Edward's house, staying there until his phone rang and then I was again, dragged back to his car, I'm finally back home. Well, technically I'm standing on my own yard, forced to stay outside, but Edward's out here too.

All day, the only thing I could think about was that kiss that I still felt on my lips, and it happened hours ago!

"Edward?"

"Hmm?" He looked kind of distracted.

"Can I ask you something?"

"No Bella, you can't go inside until Alice says so. She would kill me."

"No not that! I have a serious question. It's kind of about earlier." I said the last part so quiet, I don't think I heard it, but of course, Edward did. He snapped out of his trance and his head abruptly turned toward me.

"Earlier?" Curse his awesome hearing!

"Yeah. I was just wondering, where does it leave us." I did say anything else, because if I did I might start rambling like a freaking idiot! I'm sure my face was already red as the blood causing the blush. I don't need it redder, if that's possible. I stood there staring at him, waiting for a response, but instead of an answer he was back in his trance.

"Um, Edward? Did you hear me?" He shook his head as if clearing his thoughts and looked back at me. He opened his mouth to say something but his phone interrupted him.

"Hello?

We'll be right in." He hung up the phone, walking behind me and covering my eyes. I let him lead me inside, my head feeling as if a million bees were swarming in there with so many thoughts. Edward didn't say one word as we walked to the house and went up the stairs slowly, for my sake. We stopped and I heard Alice's voice in front of me.

"Ok, now don't be mad at me because I didn't pay for the stuff! I just picked it all out." Oh no, I do not like the sound of this. "Now, open your eyes in three, two, one!" Edward's hands uncovered my eyes and when I looked, my mouth dropped.

"You got me all of this?!?" Not only was there a crib, there was a big pile of baby clothes, bottles, diapers, a stroller, a small dresser to put the clothes in I guess, a diaper bag, blankets, a changing table, and more! I am so glad my room is huge!

"I know you don't like getting gifts but I know you are going to need help financially. So I wanted to get you the essentials. Alice just picked the stuff out, I supplied the money." I looked at Renee as if she were insane. I had planned to get a job and start saving up for all this stuff. I gave her a hug, thanking her probably a hundred times!

"But why is all this in my room? I thought Kayla would share a room with Cade." That's what I had planned.

"Well, when one baby cries the other one will wake up, plus it will be easier to take care of Kayla when she's close by. Is she sleeping now?"

"Yeah, in Cade's crib. The next time she wake's up I'll move her in here." As if on cue, I heard her cries. Quickly running to Cade's crib and getting her, I changed and fed her and she was soon falling asleep again, this time in her own crib. Since it was getting late everyone had to go home. I hugged everyone, thanking them and wishing I could drag Edward back in the house to get my answer. But instead he just left with a simple, 'We'll talk later, promise.' Wow this is killing me.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

How Renee does it, I have no idea. Every 2 hours! I can't function with no sleep! It wasn't so bad with Cade since Renee was the one getting up, but with Kayla I'm the one getting up and then fighting to get back to sleep after being up. It's only been a week and I want to die! But, even though I'm completely exhausted, I couldn't be happier. I love Kayla so much and I can't believe that I almost gave her up.

Ok, maybe I lied on the being happier thing. I haven't seen Rose, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, or Edward all week. And it kills me most wit Edward.

Taking care of Kayla, I told them that I would have to stay home for a while and that it would be too hard to hang out right now. I needed to focus on Kayla. I did talk to them all on the phone, mostly Alice and Rose. We're all planning to meet up before school starts, which is in two weeks.

But I wouldn't, no, couldn't wait that long to talk to Edward, which is why I was calling him while Kayla was sleeping and everyone was out of the house.

I listened to the phone ring, once, twice, three times. Finally he picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hey Edward, you think you can come over for a little bit?"

"Sure, I'll be over in a few minutes." Those few minutes were going to kill me. I kept myself busy, cleaning anything that was messy, and even things that weren't. When the door bell rang I quickly ran to the door, after waiting to see if it woke up Kayla. I swung the door open with a grin on my face. But when I saw who was standing at the door, my face fell, my heart went up my throat, my stomach fell to my butt and I wanted to barf.

It was not Edward standing at my door. It was my worst nightmare, Jason Cain. Oh crap.

I tried to slam the door shut but his foot caught it and he pushed his way through, wrapping his hand around my neck. He shut the door and locked it, my only hope of Edward busting in here and saving me ruined.

"Honey I'm home!" He laughed out and slammed me to the floor. "Where's the little runt?" Oh no! He was not getting near Kayla! I scrambled up, running up the stairs. I made it halfway up and Jason grabbed my leg, causing me to fall back to the bottom. My head hit the hard wood floor, instantly making me dizzy.

"You think you can get away from me?" He kicked me in the stomach, causing me to double over. "I thought I told you to keep your little mouth shut." A punch to the face. "You'll regret you ever told anybody." Before he could hit me again, he heard a car pulling up in my drive way. He ran to the window, giving me a chance to run upstairs. I made it to my room, slamming and locking the door quickly. I ran to Kayla making sure she was ok while I dug my cell phone out of my purse, pressing send twice, not caring who it called.

"Bella? I just pulled up, I'll be at the door in a few."

"No! Edward, please don't hang up!" Too late, I heard the click and the line was quiet. I pressed send twice and waited impatiently for him to pick up. Instead of an answer though, I heard the door open downstairs. Oh no! I ran for the door, screaming.

"Edward! Get out! Jason's here, get out!" I couldn't let him get hurt! I swung the door open, repeating myself but I was cut short when I felt an arm an sharp object go to my throat. I felt Jason's hot breath on my ear and smelt the alcohol.

"Shhh. We don't won't the baby getting hurt, now do we." He started walking toward the stairs, slowly going down them. I wanted to scream out so bad! I knew he would kill me and Kayla if I did. And maybe even Edward. But that was happening anyways, it seemed like.

I heard Edward calling my name. From the sounds of it, he was in the living room. We rounded the corner and I was right, there he was. His back was to us.

"Take another step and I slit her throat." Edward whipped around and his face turned to pure horror when he saw us. "Keep your hands where I can see them." Edward's arms instantly went up. "No wrong moves, or I'll kill all of you." We were screwed. I called Edward over to confess my feelings and now I will never get a chance, and my baby might not ever get a chance at all.
