I just posted a very important notice on my blog!
Don't forget to vote for the name/sex of Edward and Bella's baby! The poll is still up on my page.
I wanted to tell you all that I started a blog, and you can find teasers, little bits of information, and ideas I have for stories there. The link is on my profile page.

BPOV
It was going to be fine. She was fine.
She. I could have sworn this baby was a boy. Either way, I was ecstatic. In a little over two months, Edward and I would have a daughter. And she would be ours; only ours.
Edward was smiling like a fool and holding my hand as we sat in the examination room waiting for my doctor and Carlisle to come in. One of his hands rested over my stomach, and the other remained snug around my own hand. It was unbelievably peaceful.
"Well, everything has checked out okay." My doctor said, coming in with my chart. Carlisle came in too, smiling.
"Do you know what caused the bleeding?" Edward asked anxiously. The doctor shook his head and flipped through my chart.
"It looks like Bella's body was under a lot of stress. These things do happen, but it was very good that you came in. If the bleeding hadn't stopped, we would have had a problem." The doctor said seriously, his eyes grim.
"Are there any precautions I need to take?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. The doctor shrugged.
"Well, try a get more rest and avoid any stress you can. Also, continue to take prenatal vitamins. But judging by the image we saw during the ultrasound, your baby is perfectly healthy, with the exception of a slightly elevated heartbeat. If you relax, the baby will relax." He turned to Edward. "Try and make your wife as comfortable as you can, and we won't have to put her on bed rest." I grimaced at that and Edward nodded, tightening his grip on my hand slightly. "Well, that's everything. If you have any other problems, don't hesitate to come in or call."
We shook hands and said our goodbyes, and the doctor left. But Carlisle didn't. He cleared his throat and made sure the door was closed.
"I just wanted to let you know that Esme and I have absolutely no problems with the two of you having a relationship with Marie." He said in a quiet voice, not moving from his spot in front of the door. "At first, I was hesitant, but I realize now that you simply want to know her, and that is to be expected. She was, after all, your daughter first."
"Thank you." Edward said softly, and Carlisle nodded.
"You can call Esme about when this…meeting can happen." He said, and then left.
"Let's get you home." Edward whispered in my ear before kissing my temple. "And guess what?"
"What?" I asked, standing up and smiling when he draped his arm over my shoulders.
"I have doctors orders to spoil you rotten." He said, smirking. I groaned and Edward laughed. "No complaining!" He said cheerfully as we got in the elevator.
"Why must you be so…chivalrous?" I grumbled playfully. "Did you watch a lot of Disney movies as a child?"
"No, but I do remember a certain little girl forcing me to give her piggyback ride after piggyback ride when we were younger." He teased, and I laughed at the memory. "And that same little girl also asked me to kiss her under the mistletoe when we were what…ten years old?"
"I don't remember you complaining." I said coyly, blushing as he pecked me on the lips, much like he had when we were ten year olds.
"I wasn't." He admitted, laughing as we walked out to the parking lot and to our car. "I had a crush on you even then."
"Even when I had acne and no boobs?" I asked skeptically. Edward chuckled and held my car door open for me as I got in. He leaned down and kissed me on the lips.
"Even then." He whispered, kissing me again. His content smile then became playful. "Besides, I've always been more of an ass man, myself."
That he was.
Esme POV, the next morning:
I was brushing out Marie's tangled curls when I heard the front door open. Marie, who had to leave for school in a few minutes, craned her neck and her eyes positively lit up when Carlisle walked in through the door.
"Daddy!" She squealed, wrestling out of my grip and running to Carlisle. An adorable grin was on her face, and she rocked back and forth on her heels.
"Hey, Marie." Carlisle leaned down and kissed the top of Marie's head, hugging her tightly with one arm. "Ready for school?" He asked, and she nodded excitedly.
"Yep! I get my spelling test back today." She said as I handed her her backpack and steered her towards the door. If she didn't get going, she would miss the bus.
"Well, good luck." Carlisle chuckled. "Have a good day, I'll be there to pick you up after school today."
"Yay!" She cheered happily, and Carlisle and I both went outside with her, sitting down on the front steps as we waited for the bus. "Bye!" Marie called just as the bus pulled up, and blew a kiss to both of us.
"Bye!" Carlisle and I chorused, watching as she stepped onto the bus.
We were quiet for a few minutes, just leaning against each other and holding hands.
"Bella came into the ER last night." Carlisle said suddenly, interrupting the quiet. I pulled away from him slightly, stunned.
"What?! Is she alright?" I asked, my eyes wide. Carlisle nodded and pulled me up against his side again. "Are you allowed to tell me what happened?" I asked curiously, and he laughed quietly to himself.
"I'm not supposed to, no." He said, and my shoulders slumped. "But, I can tell you this. You know the thing that happened to you eleven years ago?" I nodded slowly, remembering the emotional anguish that had come along with my miscarriage. I prayed the same thing hadn't happened to Bella. She and Edward so wanted a child of their own, and I knew they would both be great parents. "Well, that almost happened to Bella." Carlisle finished, and I breathed a sigh of relief at the word almost. "It was probably stress induced, but it scared her and Edward terribly. I've never seen a couple act the way they did."
"It's a scary thing." I said softly, and Carlisle kissed my forehead gently with his eyes closed peacefully.
"Yes. But they'll still have their baby. They were extraordinarily lucky."
