So much got in the way I.E homework, club events, my electricity going out for a week… yeah, that wasn't fun. And a bunch of family problems. Through all that, I managed to squeeze this one out And also! I officially have 101 reviews on this story! We've reached our goal of 100 for Chapter 25! Let's make it to 115 by chapter 30! Sorry to those who reviewed that I didn't get back to you. But know I did read your positive feedback! And ya know how I said it was gonna get kinda steamy?

"You got everything?" Alice asked me, as I stood in front of the mirror in my room while Rose fixed my hair. I saw nothing out of place, but you know vampires and their super sight.
"Yes." I said, for the umpteenth time that day.
"Okay, just making sure. I got my stuff all packed, that I forgot if you had everything, silly me. Okay, Rose, hurry, hurry!"
"Oh, stop rushing," she said, moving her hands away from my hair, and then she said, "Perfect. Now come on."
I ran out of the room, and down the stairs. Bella waited for me with Ness. The guys were already outside, impatiently waiting by the car.
Jessica waved as we left. Mike made Karissa wave at me from his lap. I smiled, and waved back.
We all piled in, and Emmett sped off. We were all going to Florida. A last minute decision made by Edward. And Mom wanted to see her in laws again. The weather was much warmer these days, which was a huge problem in Florida. It was already in the eighties. And it was very humid.
"It'll be cloudy all the time, we'll be fine! I can't believe we get to stay there two whole weeks!"
That was another last minute change. Bella wanted to catch up with Mom, and so did I.
And Carlisle, Phil, Edward, Emmett and Jasper and Jacob all wanted to get some guy time in. Rose and Alice were eager to see what shopping they could do there.
"No cliff diving, Bella." Carlisle warned as we made our way to the gate for our flight.
"That was for recreational purposes, Carlisle! Besides, cliffs are so not my thing anymore."
"Yeah, I encouraged you, remember? Sorry about that, by the way." Jake said grinning.
"You still owe me." Bella said.
"Bella did what?" I asked, a little lost.
"A few years ago, when Bella was younger, she jumped off a cliff." Carlisle said.
"Edward almost killed himself with worry." Jasper added.
"By wanting to stand in the sunlight for the whole world to see." Rose said glaring at her older brother.
"Hey, Bella saved my life by stopping me." Edward said, putting an arm around Bella's shoulders.
"And thus, the arm around the shoulders led to the first kiss, which led to a make out session. Which led to the almost taking each other's clothes off, then that led to the engagement, followed close behind by the wedding. This finally led to the wedding night, where Renesmee Carlie Cullen was conceived." Emmett announced proudly as we all stared at him like he was crazy.
"What?" he asked.
"That was not even how it happened!" Bella said
"Yeah huh! How else was Nessie imbedded into your womb? You can't say it was immaculate conception. It all starts with the man and a woman. When they fall deeply in love, like you and Eddieboy, and Bellie and Carlisle, you get very—"
"Enough, Emmett." Carlisle growled.
"Just sayin'!" he said, holding both hands up in front of him. "No need to get all pissy, Pops."
"Don't make him smack you." Alice said giggling.
"He wouldn't dare!" Emmett said. One glare from Carlisle, and Emmett had both his hands on his bottom. I started laughing at him as he walked.
People stared at him. "Uh… Mett? That doesn't look right at all." I said quietly.
"Belle, if you were scared of your Dad smacking your butt, you'd cover it too!"
I rolled my eyes. "Dad wouldn't do that." I said.
"Would too! I mean, he's got to start relearning the rules of discipline! He's got another baby comin!"
We boarded the plane five minutes later. We sat in First Class again. This time, Emmett didn't play I Spy. But his mission seemed to be annoying me until I snapped.
"Mom, mom, mom, mom, mom!" We'd only been in the air for half a minute, and he was already starting.
Yes Emmett?" I asked, turning in my seat to face him.
"Where do babies come from?"
"Google it." I said, unimpressed. I turned back to talk to Bella and Carlisle.
He was quiet for five minutes before he started up again.
"Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad!"
"Yes Emmett?" Carlisle answered without turning to face him.
"How long does it take to create a baby?" I gasped, and Jasper started laughing uncontrollably, which caused Alice to smack him on the head. That made Jake start laughing so hard, his face turned dark red. Nessie punched him in the arm, and he shut up.
"Google it." I said, answering his question.
Emmett huffed, and crossed his arms. "I didn't ask you." He pouted.
"Emmett McCarty Cullen. Stop asking those ridiculous questions, or I will smack you." I snapped.
"Will do. I won anyway! You got mad!"
Emmett did shut up for the rest of the plane ride. However, halfway there, Nessie got sick. And it didn't let up. I switched seats with her so that she could sit with Carlisle and Bella.
This dampened everyone's mood. Nessie looked miserable.
"She's never gotten sick before, though!" Bella said, wringing her hands nervously.
"Carlisle, is there anything we can do?" I asked, hoping that I or Bells hadn't forgotten to pack that medical kit that we took on trips like these.
"Hmm, it seems as though she's caught the flu. Or it's her body reacting to the plane ride. But that hasn't affected her before." Carlisle said looking over at poor Nessie, whom looked sheepishly at Bella, her eyes brimming with tears.
"What's wrong, Nessa?" Bella asked, smoothing her hair down with a gentle hand.
"I… I…" she sobbed unable to form a complete sentence.
Jake looked anxiously between Ness and Bella. "What is it, Sweetheart?" Edward asked.
"I… we… it was an accident… I think… no, I am…"
"You're what?" Bella asked, looking like she was about to burst with anxiety.
"Edward, can't you read her thoughts?" I asked looking at him. He shook his head. "She's blocking them. Renesmee Carlie Cullen, what in the world are you hiding?" he demanded.
She stopped crying long enough to tell us. "I'm… pregnant."
The responses that came from us were varied.
Jasper, "What the fuck?!"
Emmett, "Oh, man. Jake didn't waste time. You got some pretty valuable family jewels there, my man."
Alice, "I didn't see this!"
Rose, "Oh… no, no, no, no."
Bella, "No, Honey, no!"
Edward was utterly, and completely still, and silent. Carlisle and I just sat and stared, unable to believe what had just happened. Jake didn't say a word either. People that sat around us, didn't really seem to care about what we had just found out.
Edward finally came out of the trance like state he was in, and he turne to Carlisle, his expression one of pure, and utter horror.
"Carlisle, is it possible?"
Carlisle sighed, and didn't answer for a few seconds. "It very well could be. I'd have to do some research as soon as we land."
"Renee still has the computer in my old room, right Belle?" Bella asked.
"She should." I said.
"When was your last menstruation cycle?" Carlisle asked, turning to Ness, who sniffled and thought about it for a few seconds. Meanwhile, Jake blushed deeply, and turned away.
"Out with it, woman!" Emmett said, grinning at her. She started crying again.
"It was… just before… winter formal."
"And you didn't tell Carlisle, or any of us, because? Do you realize that your little encounter with Shayna Stanley could have resulted in the loss of your unborn child?" Edward raged. I had never seen him this angry before. Bella looked at me, and her eyes pleaded with me for all this not to be true.
I shook my head sadly, because it all was. And in nine months or less, she'd be a grandmother. She started sobbing on Edward's shoulder as Nessie answered all of Carlisle's questions.
By the time we landed, things were sorted out. We would go straight to Renee's and the guys would start researching while us girls went shopping with Mom. Phil was away at a game, but would be back later tonight.
Nessie kept apologizing to her parents for the horrible thing she had done. Emmett with his unfiltered thoughts and big mouth pointed out that it took two to make a baby, and that Jake was at fault too. "Immaculate conception is not the answer here, guys, Jake and Nessie's love for each other is."
"Shut up." Rose said, smacking his arm. Right now wasn't the time for such things. We rented two cars, and drove to Renee's. When we pulled up, I saw Mom waiting for us on the front steps.
We piled out of the cars, happy to see her. Nessie's vomiting had stopped, after Carlisle had given her something to settle her stomach. So she was in much better spirits.
"Hi guys! How are you? Annabelle, you can walk again." She said, rapping her arms around me. Mom was already beginning to show some. And she was glowing!
Hi Mom, I missed you." I said hugging her back.
She smiled at me, before squashing Bela and the others in a hug, too. She showed us to our rooms, and winked at me and said, "I reorganized your closet, honey. I put some new clothes in there, I knew you would wear some day!"
"Thank you, Mom." I said, wondering just what she had put in there. I would look later. When we left fifteen minutes later, the guys were already crowded in Bella and Edward's room.
We went to the mall nearby, and just as we got out of the car, Nessie turned green, and ran inside.
"I'll get her." I said running after her. She had made it to the bathroom, thank goodness. But she didn't look too great.
"Ness, do you need anything?" I asked as I walked in.
"I need saltines, and Jakey… and for Dad not to be mad at me." She said, tears pooling at the corners of her eyes.
I took her into my arms, and let her cry it all out. She cleaned her face when she was done and apologized for soaking my shirt.
"It's alright, Ness. Now let's go." She followed me out the door, and we found Mom and the girls in a book store nearby. My phone rang, and I answered as we walked up to them.
"Hey, what did you find?" I asked. It was Carlisle. "It's possible. And it seems as though it may be normal."
"Define normal." I said.
"Nine months." He replied.
"Oh." I said, surprised. "Really?"
"Yes, according to what we found, it takes more after the father's genes, than the mother's. I find that pretty interesting myself."
"It does sound interesting. Mind bookmarking those pages for me? I'd love to look it over."
"Of course."
"Alright. Well, I have to go, I'm in my favorite place in the whole world." I said smiling to myself.
"Where?" Carlisle asked.
"The book store." I said excitedly.
"Alright then, I'll see you when you get back."
"Okay, bye."
"Bye, Belle, love you."
I blushed, "Love you too."
When I hung up, Mom was grinning at me like an idiot. "Was that Carlisle?"
"Yep." I said walking to the romance novels. I needed to expand my collection of bedtime stories. "He is so sweet, calling you to just check up on you." Mom said sighing dreamily.
"Yeah, he is very sweet." I agreed.
"And attractive, honey, you've got yourself a fine looking man."
I blushed again, "Thanks Mom."
"Now tell me, how far have you two gotten?" That question caught me off guard. But it wasn't like I had anything to hide, She was my Mom after all. And girls told there Moms these kinds of things.
"Just heated make out sessions, Mom. Nothing too extravagant."
"Oh darn! I was looking forward to some stories about his long fingers!" she said, playfully nudging me.
I laughed along with her and we picked out some great books to purchase.
As we walked out of the book store, someone yelled my name from nearby. I turned, and really wished I hadn't. There, leaning against the brick wall that went around the fountain, stood Robert Willsley. Robert Willsley had tried asking me out numerous times, and always failed.
He was a player, and a creep, and all he wanted was to get into girls' pants. He had even went as far as spreading rumors of me having an affair with him. Of course everyone believed it but my friends.
Bella glared at him as he approached. "Hey, Sweet Thing, what brings you back to Florida? You miss me?"
"No, Robert. I came to see my mother." He casually slung his arm over my shoulders, and I immediately felt repulsed. Where was Carlisle when I needed him?
"I'm glad your back. I missed seeing your pretty face around school. Maybe we can continue what we started. What do you say?" he asked, suggestively squeezing my shoulders.
"No, now get off of me." I said, trying to wriggle away.
"Mrs. D, do I have permission to take your beautiful daughter out on a date tonight?" he asked turning to my mother.
"No, I'm sorry Dear. She and I are going out tonight with the family. Right honey?"
"Yep, with my sister, and my brothers-in law." I added for good measure.
"And my boyfriend." I threw that one in last, just to see his reaction.
He narrowed his eyes.
"You find him in Forks?"
"Is it really any of your business? Now let me go!" I said, wriggling free and running away outside, and into Mom's car. Thank goodness she had given me the keys. I was just about to run back out, when there was a tap on my window. I jumped, and didn't dare look up.
"Sugar, come out. We didn't finish our discussion. Come on, Babe. I don't bite, unless you want me to." I didn't answer. He lifted his fist and was about to knock again, when a hand caught it halfway, and stopped him.
A/N Aha! I wonder who that is? Any guesses? Review, please, that would make me oodles more happier to see some beautiful reviews! Until next week!
