Gender of the baby is revealed!

review!

A week later, it was time for my appointment. Esme had found me a really good OB-GYN in LA that would be finishing up my pregnancy with me.

The boys had made a statement about the remarks at the VMAs and handled it very professionally. They stuck up for me and said that they think Brand needs a hug.

Esme had decided that she would stay with everyone else at the Cullens house and let the two of us go on our own since I was finding out the gender today.

Edward and I drove up to the clinic and parked the car. He came around to my door and helped me out of the Volvo and laced his fingers with mine as we walked to the door. There were no cameras, I guess the paparazzi had gotten tired of taking pictures of us at the clinic because they figured out there wasn't a scandal.

He opened the door for me and I walked to the desk to tell them I was there. We sat down in the waiting room and soon my name was called.

The nurse weighed me, led me back to the exam room and took my blood pressure. After she left I was feeling thoroughly depressed about my weight.

"I'm a cow" I pouted.

"You're not a cow, you're beautiful" Edward laughed.

"But I'm fat! You heard what the nurse said I weighed! Besides, my clothes are starting to not fit"

"Well, then I guess we'll just have to go get you other clothes, huh" he said as he kissed my forehead.

Just then the doctor walked in.

"Hello Bella, I'm Dr. Heighl and it looks like I'll be taking care of you throughout the rest of the pregnancy. Esme gave me the names of the other doctors you've seen while you were on tour and I've called and received your charts from them. It looks like your weight gain is right on track. Do you have any questions or concerns?"

"She was up all night throwing up about a week ago" Edward said.

"Well, that it normal for some women in the end of the first trimester-especially in first-time mothers" she said. "Now, let's see this baby" she smiled.

I laid back and pulled my shirt over my stomach.

"Now this may be a little cold" she said as she squeezed the gel onto my stomach and started moving the transducer around.

A rapid heartbeat filled the room and Edward pulled out his phone.

"What are you doing?" I asked him.

"I'm recording the heartbeat so everyone can hear it" he said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

The doctor laughed. After he was done recording she moved the transducer around a bit more before she stopped.

"See this right here? That's your baby"

My eyes got really wide. It looked like a baby now-we could see the head and she pointed out the feet. She moved it around some more before stopping again.

"Did you want to know what gender it is?"

I looked at Edward and then nodded my head.

"It's a girl" She smiled at us.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Quite sure…the photo I have right now is pretty much like she is sitting on a copier"

I started crying and Edward started freaking out.

"Why are you crying?" he asked.

"I'm just so happy….I'm having a little girl" I smiled.

"I'll let you two have some time while I go get the printouts of the pictures for you" the doctor said as she wiped the gel off of my stomach and left the room.

"She's going to be beautiful, just like her mother" he whispered as he gave me a kiss. When he pulled away I saw that there were tears in his eyes too.

"Baby, why are you crying?" I asked him as I kissed away the tear that fell from his eye.

"Because I love you and it's good to see you happy" he responded.

"Ok, here are your pictures" the doctor said when she walked back in. "I want to see you back here in a month, ok?"

I nodded my head as Edward and I walked out. I stopped at the desk to make an appointment for next month and Edward and I walked out hand in hand.

Edward called his mom as he got into the car and told her that we weren't going to be back to the house until dinner. We didn't want to risk letting the news slip until everyone was together.

We stopped and went into one of our favorite restaurants to eat a late lunch. A few fans stopped and asked us for autographs and we happily obliged. Edward paid the check and when we finally left, it was about 3 PM. We walked back to the car down the street and he started driving once we got in.

"So what are we going to do until we go back to your house? We have 3 hours to kill."

"I have an idea" he smiled.

He started driving out of LA and I started seeing the ocean.

"Edward, where are we going?"

"The beach"

I just smiled and a few minutes later he parked the car and came around to open my door and grabbed a blanket out of the back of the car. We took our shoes off and rolled the legs of our pants up and walked along the water holding hands. The waves lapped around our feet and we stopped every once in a while to kiss.

He pulled a camera out of his pocket and started taking pictures. We took goofy pictures, serious pictures, pictures of us kissing, everything.

We started writing things in the sand and taking pictures of them.

We moved up away from the water a bit and he stretched the blanket out. We both lay down on the blanket and curled up together. He kept taking pictures of us and then he took a few of my belly.

I couldn't help but start laughing as I walked back toward the water. I was just standing and looking out at the water and the sun that was getting lower in the sky when I felt his hands go around my waist and land on my stomach.

"It's 5 PM…we should probably go" he said as he started kissing my neck and shoulder.

I turned around to face him and he pulled me into a kiss. A gentle breeze started blowing and he stuck his arm out and took one last picture of us before we started walking back to the car.

We got back to his house right in time for dinner and we were both all smiles. We went to wash up for dinner and joined the rest of the family at the table.

Dinner was delicious and after everyone was done eating, I cleared my throat and went to my purse to get the pictures. I brought them back to the table and Edward pulled out his phone as I started talking.

"First off, Edward recorded something for you all because of the excitement you expressed after hearing that we heard the heartbeat"

The sound of a quick heartbeat filled the room from Edward's phone and the people around the table broke into smiles.

"Is that-" Emmet asked

"It is, it's my baby's heartbeat. It's my little girl's heartbeat" I finished softly.

"It's a girl?"

I nodded and was engulfed in a four way hug by Emmet,Jasper,Rosalie and Riley

"Guys, let her breathe" Esme laughed. She and Carlisle walked over to give me a hug as well and I passed the pictures around to them.

"Are they sure it's a girl? Sometimes they can be wrong" Esme asked me.

"She said the picture was taken as if the baby was sitting on a copier so she's pretty sure" I laughed. The boys stared at the pictures on awe even after Esme said that this called for a celebration. We all went and piled into the SUV and headed out to go get ice cream.

"Have you thought of any names yet?" Riley asked excitedly.

"No, it's still a little early for that, I only found out today" I laughed. "But now that I know it's a girl I can definitely start thinking"

"And we don't have to call the baby 'it' anymore" Emmet said…I swear he matched Riley's level of excitement.

"No, we definitely don't have to call her 'it' anymore" I smiled as I put my hand on my stomach.

Edward smiled, placed his hand on top of mine and kissed my forehead.

"I love you, I love you both" he whispered in my ear as we started driving.

He didn't know it, but tears sprung to my eyes at the sincerity of his words.

It's a girl!
