6 Months Along

BPOV
Six months. Six months since I found out I was pregnant. My stomach grew larger each month. Seriously I was huge. It was like two basket balls in there. Finally I just had to go shopping after a break down of not being able to fit into my jeans. Alice and Rose took me shopping to get fitting clothes.
Just last week I stopped working at Eclipse. James forced me to finally go on bed rest. I could afford it. Paying bills no problem, I had the money, but eventually I would have to go back and work again.
Edward and I have bought things for the baby. The gender was going to be a surprise, so we went with nuteral colors, like green and blue. I hated yellow, Edward did also.
But there was a small thing that was troubling us.
The babies room.
Yes simple to some people but to us, no. We werent married, we didnt live together.
That was in the way. I didnt want to sell my house because of my grandfather, he wanted me to stay here but uggh. I knew it would be eaiser to sell my house simply because it was smaller than Edward's and it would be so much easier. I just couldnt seem to let go. Edward hadnt said much about it, I knew he didnt want to upset me. But every night. I was either over with him or he was with me. Lately I have been with him, Chip has been getting more hostile to that fact.
In my house I had two rooms and then mine and the bathroom. For now that was enough. But what happens when I want more kids. I knew two kids to a room but the rooms were a tad small. I just didnt know what to do. I knew my grandfather just wanted me to be happy. I was just undecided.
Alice and Edward think that since Edward's house is bigger moving in with him would be more convinient.
" Whats wrong?" Edward asked suddenly. Breaking me out of my reverie.
" I dont know what to do." I stated.
His arm wrapped around me. " Whatever you think will make you happy and what will make you feel right, is the answer." He said.
I leaned into him.
" Can you get my some peanut butter and pineapple?" I asked while placing my hands flat on his kitchen table.
He nodded and stood up. He came back with a butter knife, peanut butter and pineapple. I opened the lid and put some peanut butter on the knife. I smoothed it on the pineapple and put it in. I chewed and swallowed. Edward looked at me strangely.
" You dont think I am weird. Do you?" I asked
Suddenly feeling sad.
" No. No honey. If that is how you want your food thats fine. Nothing wrong with it." He said reasurringly
EPOV
These past few months have been going okay. I kept on a strong facade for Bella. She didnt need more on her hands.
Lately I have to admit I have been freaking out about the baby. I didnt know if I was ready to be a father. Stress has been high. With working double shifts and then Bella stressing about what to do about living arrangements. All I wanted was for her to feel, safe. And be happy and healthy. If she said she wanted to go to london I would say I'll book the next flight.
My goal was to make her happy.
I havent talked to her about this simply because she has enough. I dont want her to feel like she has to make it all better, she had a tendancy to take things on her shoulders.
" Edward?" She asked
" What?" I asked, breaking out of my trance
She sighed " Are you okay. You seem to be a little spacey." She said.
Guess I talked to myself too soon.
" Sorry." I muttered
She wasnt buying it.
" Whats going on. Lately you've been quiet." She pointed out.
" Sorry honey. It's just working double shifts and I am just stressed about the baby. I dont know if I am fit to be a father. What if I mess us. I'm exhausted all the time and I dont know about living arrangments and we've only got two or three months til' the baby is born an-"
" Wait, wait. Slow down there Edward. To start. Why havent you been talking to me about this?"
I sighed " I didnt want to stress you." I said.
She took my hand in hers " Edward. I need you to talk to me."
" I know."
" Well to start. Your not the only one scared about this baby. Yes we will make mistakes but its alright. And with working double shifts maybe you should talk to the boss and living arrangments. We'll figure it out. But you need to calm down." She said.
I leaned back into the chair and ran my hands through my hair. She rubbed soothing circles on my hand. I looked into he deep brown eyes. Maybe then I could get an answer.
" Lets start. What is your opinion in living arrangments?" I asked
" I have to tell you. When my grandfather died he left a note, saying he wanted me to keep the house. I know he's not here but I was hesitant then I started thinking about more important things. As in having room. You obviously have a bigger home than mine and what happens is we get married and have more kids then we need more room. The bedrooms in my house are smaller because the downstairs in spacious. Then I worry about Chip, and he is getting so hostile lately and I am worried about when the baby is born that he will snap." She said
I nodded my head in agreement.
" I have no problem with a dog in my house I am just unsure because he doesnt like me." I said.
" I could give him to Jake." She whispered.
I put my arm around her shoulder.
" I know you love him." I said.
" But the backyard. My father and my grandpa and my moms dad built the whole pool waterfall thing."
I chuckled " We could make it." I suggested.
" So did we make a desision?" She whispered.
"Did we?"
She nodded " Only if its okay with you." She said.
" Bella all I want is for you to be happy."
" Okay then."
I smiled " I think we may need our friends help. I refuse to have you help while you carry our baby." I said firmly
She opened her mouth in protest but I cut her off by placing a kiss on her lips.
" Dont argue." I whispered against her lips.
She pulled away from me, a pout on her beautiful face. She turned her gaze from me to her food. She ate quietly and I didnt say anything about the discusting combination of pineapple and peanut butter. I really dont understand how she can eat that without gagging, or just throwing it up all together.
After she finished and was satisfied I put the food away. I finished closing the cabinet and she stood up, her hand behind her back. I knew it has been hurting her lately, she couldnt hide that.
" So, whats the plan?" She asked
" Well I was thinking that we, as in together, should go threw what is mostly needed. And the rest, well. I dont know yet. But of course some furniture can be used for other rooms." I said.
She nodded and rested her small hand on her growing stomach. I walked foward and wrapped my arms around her, she relaxed into me and a sigh fell from her lips. I kissed the top of her head and ran my hand up and down her back. I felt her wince at a tender spot.
" Does it hurt?" I asked her
She nodded. I started kneading my hand into her back trying to relax her tense muscles. Her head dropped on my chest. I heard a small moan escape her mouth. After a few minutes I stopped.
" Better?" I asked
" Much. Thank You." She said.
A smile formed on my face as she looked up at me.
" I love you." I told her.
" I love you, too." She replied
I dont really see how I ever let her go. I cant understand how I even had an ounce of strenght to do it. Because now I am in too deep and I wouldnt have it any other way. I looked into her deep brown eyes and tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear. She smiled at me, her arms wrapped around me loosly. I leaned down and pressed my lips to hers. Ours lips moved together in perfect syncronization, my hand came up to cradle her face and I felt her smile into the kiss. I pulled back.
" Why you so smiley?" I asked
" No reason." She said.
All of a sudden I felt a little tap on my stomach. I looked down, her stomach was pressed to mine. I looked up at her.
" He kicking?" I asked
She nodded. " Did you feel that?" She asked
" Yeah." I said, my smile widdened, if that was possible.
I noticed her eyes drooping a little.
" Want to lay down on the couch?" I asked
She nodded
We went into my family room and I laid on the couch, she laid between my legs and rested her back on my chest and her head on my shoulder. I rested my hands on her growing stomach
" Any idea's for names?" I asked her.
" I dont know yet." She said " Maybe it will be easier to see when he or she is born."
I nodded in agreement.
Bella and I have gone over different names. It was more harder than you think. But once you look into the eyes if your little one it should be eaiser to pick.

The realtor stabbed the two sticks holding the sign infront of the house, down into the ground. Bella looked up at her old home that was now for sale.
We had gotten the rest of my family and then Bella's friends to help us with moving things. I was glad to have everything done. Some things were thrown out and some given away. We kept most of her furnature, her bed went into the guest room aswell as her end table's. Her sheets were all cleaned.
We figured why not keep her bed. It was... well it was where our little baby was conceived, and plus if she gets angry at me then I have somewhere to sleep at night. All of her grandfathers books were kept and placed in my library- well our library.
She was sad to lose her kitchen and family room but she got over it. I mean a family room is a family room so that okay. Plus I obviously had one.
(Edward's kitchen and family room pics in profile)
Bella now sleep peacefully in our bed, laying on her back. I knew that she hated sleeping on her back but on her stomach it would be impossible.
She was due the seventeenth of July. And that day was coming soon.
Just the other day we painted the babies room together. It was a sky blue and the furniture was a dark wood. We had our baby clothes set in the drawers and everything was ready.
I had gotten used to the idea of being a father. Terror was replaced with excitement. Shifts had let down a little and I was glad I could actually get home at atleast six in the evening.
Bella has been very emotional lately, so at the moment it's no surprise for after she takes a shower she has a break down saying that she is 'fat'. She wasnt fat. It was the baby that was just making her stomach extend so he or she could grow. I mean she didnt have any stretch marks, she made sure that that wouldnt happen, so she bought this coco butter lotion that prevents it.
Pregnancy gave her a certain glow to her skin, that made her look so happy and bright. Her friends have been visiting often, as well as my family.
Then there was another thing that has been going on. I knew after the babies were born I was going to propose to her. I already had the ring and everything. I wasnt going to wait for the perfect time, there was no 'perfect' time. I was just going to when it felt...right.
