For anyone wondering about the 'kid' nickname, watch Casablanca. One of my fav movies of all time. An old fashioned black and white romance.

"Here's looking at you, kid." Rick - Casablanca 1942

Esme's POV

Right before the alarm could go off, both our phones were blowing up.

Aro shot up in bed answering his on the first ring while I continued to snuggle under the covers.

"Yea?"

"What the fuck?"

I opened my eyes, pulling the covers down.

"I'll handle it!" Aro shouted into the phone jumping out of bed.

"God damn it!" He yelled angrily throwing his phone against the wall.

It broke into pieces hitting the floor.

"What's wrong?" I asked searching for my beeping phone.

"Mary Alice is pregnant!"

"What?"

"Ma justed called in hysterics. We gotta go. Now!"

Aro was racing around the room putting his clothes on.

He tossed clothes at me and was throwing the rest of the things in our bags not bothering to sort them.

I got dressed then checked my phone.

Two missed calls from Alice.

We quickly checked out and got in the car.

I pulled my phone out and dialed Alice.

I tried to ignore Aro cursing under his breath.

He was gripping the steering wheel so hard I thought he might break it.

"Hello?" Mary Alice sobbed.

"Are you okay? Where are you?"

"I don't know. I'm with Carlisle."

"Carlisle?" I asked confused.

"I'm going to kill him!" Aro shouted speeding up.

"Please stop him, Esme! This will end badly. It's Carlisle. It's been Carlisle the whole time." Alice pleaded through her sobs.

"I'll try." I promised before hanging up.

"Aro, please calm down."

Silence.

"I don't know what all is going on but you can't hurt the father of your sister's baby."

Silence.

I placed my hand on his arm, willing him to look at me.

"Please!" I begged him.

He sighed and let off the gas, slowing down.

"I can't believe this shit!"

"I know. I can't either. Where are we going?"

"To my parents now. I'll see Alice after that. If I go now, I'll kill him."

"Sounds like a plan to me."

Isabella's POV

I stepped out of the shower to Edward standing there holding out clothes.

"Get dressed. We have to go to Carlisle's."

His tone left no room for me to be embarrassed at my lack of clothes.

I nodded and took the clothes.

I quickly dressed and threw my hair in a sloppy bun.

I walked into the bedroom and found Edward standing there in his suit, ready to go.

"What's going on?" I asked following him out of the penthouse.

"Shit has hit the fan within the family. Mary Alice is pregnant and Caius tried to shoot Carlisle this morning. We have to get over there. She has been asking for you."

"Why would Caius try to shoot Carlisle?"

"Because he knocked her up."

I was stunned speechless.

Alice had never told me she was seeing Carlisle.

"Is everyone ok?" I asked trying hard to keep up with his long strides.

"Her parents are stroking out and I'm sure Marcus isn't happy."

It didn't take us long to get to Marcus' mansion because Edward doubles as a Nascar driver.

Thank God I was getting used to it.

One of Marcus' goons opened the door for us, nodding at us.

I followed Edward into the living room.

A very upset Mary Alice was being consoled by an exhausted looking Carlisle.

"Alice?"

She looked up at me with swollen, red eyes.

"It's ok." I told her sitting beside her, wrapping my arms around her.

She leaned on my shoulder, her tears seeping into my shirt.

Carlisle stood up and followed his father out of the room, Edward right behind him.

"Are you ok? Why didn't you tell me it was Carlisle?" I said softly in her ear.

"He didn't want to tell anyone because of my age. Cat's out of the bag now." She smiled through her tears.

"My father wouldn't speak to me. He and my mother left a little while ago. Aro is on his way over there with Esme. Hopefully she can calm him down. Rosalie and Emmett should be here any minute. I'm just so upset and happy at the same time. I can't stop crying, and I'm so tired."

"It'll be okay. Everything will work out."

"Sure as hell will." Rosalie piped in walking into the room.

"Rose." Alice cried hugging her.

"Your parents will calm down. Now, you need to." Rosalie cooed in her ear, rubbing her hair.

I couldn't believe she was pregnant.

She was sixteen.

I silently thanked God I was a virgin, even though I didn't know how much longer that would last.

Edward's POV

"It's about time you got here." Carlisle said as Emmett walked in.

"I got here as fast as I could." He shrugged.

"Gentleman, let's get started." Marcus commanded the attention in the room.

We all sat to see how this would play out with the exception of Caius.

"Carlisle has knocked Mary Alice up, which nearly resulted in his untimely death this morning. He will take care of her and his child. Caius is upset, which is understandable. However, Roxy is to be let go, or moved down, whichever he chooses. That will stir troubled waters. We are already on the verge of a war and we cannot afford to be weak.

Alice's age is looked down upon but Carlisle is next in line, and he will be a great provider. Her age will be overlooked and this will be treated as a pleasant affair, which it is. She is carrying my grandchild."

Not a man in the room said a word, but nodded just the same.

If it had been Esme, he wouldn't be leaving where he stood.

I would have to get to Aro as soon as I left here to make sure he didn't do anything stupid.

"Martin isn't going to take this well." Dementri said.

"He will have no other choice than to accept it." Carlisle said standing up. "I love Mary Alice. This pregnancy may be unexpected, but I will correct what needs to be corrected. She will move in with me and continue with school until the baby comes. I'll make arrangements after that. She needs to be home with my bambino."

"When will the wedding be?" Marcus asked lighting a cigar.

"I'll discuss it with her."

"Fine. You may choose the date, but there will be a wedding. A legacy to this family will not be born out of wedlock."

Carlisle nodded and excused himself to get back to Alice.

Isabella was going on the pill immediately and so was Esme.

I prayed this gave Aro food for thought.

Nobody went to mass today.

We all hung out at Marcus' with Carlisle and Mary Alice and had lunch.

Things would be tense for a little while but it would fade.

We were stronger than ever.

It's not like Mary Alice was the first one to get pregnant before marriage.

The shock would wear off quickly.

Carlisle was taking Alice back to his place for a nap, and the rest of us broke off on our own.

"I'm going to tell Aro to come over to my place." Emmett told me as we walked out to our vehicles.

I nodded letting him know I would be there soon.

I was driving down the road and Isabella looked lost in her thoughts.

"I'm not pushing you into anything, but I want you on the pill or something asap."

She turned to look at me.

"Like I said, I'm not pushing you but when it happens I don't want to take any chances. Alice's father is in this thing of ours. He'll get over it. He knows Carlisle will provide more that she could ever wish for. Your father on the other hand, wouldn't take it near as lightly. I have enough to worry about getting popped on the street, I don't want to have to worry about the cops doing it."

"I understand. I don't want a baby at this age."

"You do want kids one day, right?"

"I have never thought about it. I wasn't that little girl that grew up dreaming of weddings and babies."

"Isabella, I am in no way ready for kids right now, but I will have them one day. Someone to pass my name onto. If you're in this with me, you have to want that, too."

She was quiet for a few minutes before she spoke.

"I'll give you anything you want."

I loved it when she was submissive and eager to please.

I brought her hand up to my lips, kissing her soft skin.

"You were made for me."

A small smile and soft blush bloomed on her face.

"I wish I didn't have to but I have to go home." She sighed.

"I know. I'll be there to pick you up in the morning."

I drove slowly to her house wanting as much time with her as I could get.

"Have you talked to your mom?"

"Here and there. She seems occupied with whatever she is doing. I don't really care."

I did though.

Frank Denali was trying to broach on our territory and that shit wasn't happening.

I would have to fill Isabella in soon.

The less she knew the better.

I dropped her off, kissing her quickly at the front door.

"Call you later, kid."

"Okay."

Isabella's POV

"Hey Bells." My dad greeted from the kitchen.

"Hey."

He had fish laid on the counter, fileting them out.

My mother would have died.

Good thing that bitch moved out.

"How was your weekend?"

"It was good. Rosalie's birthday party was nice. I even danced."

My father raised his eyebrows at me.

"Did you send anyone to the hospital?" He joked.

"Very funny. Not this time." I began picking up fish scraps and tossing them in the garbage.

"So things with Edward seem to be getting...serious."

"You could say that."

"Invite him to dinner one night. I want to get to know him."

This couldn't go well.

"Okay."

My dad and I made small talk as I cleaned up behind him as he finished his batch of fish.

My mother would be over sometime this week.

Maybe I could not be home.

I doubted it though.

She was like a vulture, she would wait.

It would give me a chance to find out what she was hiding.

That night we ordered pizza and watched a movie.

I texted Alice on and off.

I was worried about her and wanted to be there for her in any way I could.

Esme called me to let me know her brothers had calmed Aro down some.

Monday came and went.

Alice was at school with the rest of us.

Nobody said anything about her pregnancy.

Everyone would know when she started showing and that would be soon enough.

Jacob and Santiago were told to look after all of us, more than usual.

Our guards were outside the school at all times anyway.

Carlisle was on edge with Alice's pregnancy though.

Wanted everything perfect.

Rosalie bitched about her new commute to school, but she smiled the whole time.

I'd be smiling all the time if I lived with my man.

Aro doted on Mary Alice constantly.

Esme just smiled.

She said if he doted on his sister that way, imagine how he would dote on her when it was their turn.

Tuesday came and went.

Same as the day before.

Wednesday was the same except when Edward pulled in the driveway my mother was home.

"And I thought it was going to be a good day." I groaned climbing out of the car.

"She is your mother." Edward reminded me as we walked up the steps.

"I'm home." I yelled as I walked through the front door dropping my backpack on the floor.

"In here." She called from the living room.

She was sitting on a stool in front of the small bar in the corner, sipping a martini.

I wanted one.

"How was school? Oh, hello Edward."

"Mrs. Swan." He nodded.

She cringed.

I wanted to smack her.

I hoped she didn't keep my father's name.

"Same as usual. What have you been up to?" I asked taking in her very new looking clothes.

"Same as usual." She smiled.

Spending my father's every dime, bitch?

"That's nice."

"Have you reconsidered moving in with me?"

"Nope." I popped the 'p'.

"Isabella, I wish you would. Anytime you want, there is a room for you."

"At your friend's house?" I asked raising my eyebrow.

"Yes."

"Must be some friend to put up you and your daughter."

I really wanted her to leave so I could have a drink. I needed one dealing with her.

"A very good friend." She replied nibbling on an olive.

She talked for a while with me giving her one or two word answers.

Edward sat quietly on the couch.

Finally my mother decided to leave before my father came home.

"Let me walk you out, Mrs. Swan." Edward stood up.

"How sweet." She smiled at him.

Hands off, bitch, he's mine!

Edward opened the door for her then followed her out.

I heard the door clicked and picked up the bottle of whiskey.

I unscrewed the lid and took a large gulp before putting the bottle back.

I was glad she was leaving.

Edward's POV

Renee was talking away just listening to her own voice because I sure as hell wasn't.

When we got to her car and I knew we were out of ear shot of the house, I leaned in real close.

"Tell Frank I said hello."

She stopped talking abrupbtly.

"Does Isabella know?"

"Not yet. I'll let you tell her, but if you don't I will." I straightened my jacket standing upright.

"I will, she's just needs a little time to get used to her father, and I not being together."

"You know what Frank does."

It wasn't a question. I knew she knew. She was up the man's ass twenty-four hours a day. She would have to be dumb, deaf, and mute not to have caught on at this point.

She nodded.

"I'm sure you know things about me as well?"

Again, she nodded.

"Then know this, if I even think any harm will come Isabella's way I will not hesitate to take care of it. You included."

Her eyes widened slightly for a brief moment.

"Frank wouldn't take kindly to you threatening me, but since it's on behalf of my daughter's welfare, I won't say anything." She tried to scare me.

I would kill Frank Denali in a heartbeat if it was to defend Isabella.

I nodded and turned to walk back to the house.

Her engine didn't crank until I had opened the door.

I didn't know if she would tell Frank or not but I didn't care.

He was already on thin ice with this family.

I don't think Isabella would miss her mother is she happen to fall in with him.
