Chapter 36 – EPOV

I've always loved Christmas, but this year is special. This year we have Bella with us.

I take Bella's hand as we walk up the steps to my parents' front door. It flies open and my mother is eagerly awaiting us with open arms. She takes us each in turn, giving the most attention to Lainie as she goes over what Santa brought her.

We walk into the kitchen and I can smell my mothers' traditional green bean casserole filing the room. I can't wait to dig into it and all the other wonderful things she has cooked. My arm stretches behind me and I realize Bella has stopped walking and I turn to find her holding her stomach, her face pale and sickly.

"Love, are you okay?" I ask and she shakes her head.

The whole room turns to look our way, concern all over their faces.

"Excuse me," she says and quickly walks down the hall to the bathroom.

I run my hand through my hair. "She's been nauseous all week," I say with a sigh and turn toward my family. "I can't find anything wrong with her though."

My mother and father exchange looks, as do Rosalie and Emmett, and I can see my mother fighting a smile.

"What?"

"Oh, I don't think anything is wrong with her, Edward," Rosalie chimes in.

"No, I think everything is just right, just as it should be," my mother adds, giving me a reassuring smile.

My doctor brain works in overtime to dissect their cryptic messages. I go over how she's been feeling, and suddenly I notice more and more symptoms before it all clicks into place. My eyes widen and I take off running down the hall to her. Without warning I throw the door open to find her cleaning out her mouth. She stares wide eyed at me in the mirror.

"Edward?" she questions.

"You're pregnant," I state.

She turns toward me and I step forward, wrapping her in my arms.

"W-what? Are you sure?" she asks, her arms moving around my waist.

"The drug store is around the corner, but I'm pretty sure."

"Let's make sure," she says, her voice shaking.

I pull back and stroke her cheeks before grabbing her hand and walking toward the front door telling everyone we'd be back in a few minutes.

Half an hour later my arms are wrapped around her, gazing into her eyes as we await the results. I'll do a blood test later, but with two tests I know they would be nearly one hundred percent accurate.

"Ready?" I ask and she nods.

Together we look down and I'm in disbelief, so much so that I have to blink.

Two positives.

My grip tightens and I am overwhelmed by emotions. She turns toward me and I don't even give her time to speak before my lips are pressed against hers as I push her against the wall.

Bella, my angel, my love, and now mother of my child.

"I love you, Edward," she whispers against my lips.

"I love you, so much," I vow.

We exit and give my family the news. Lainie is jumping up and down in excitement, screaming as she runs around the house. Everyone else is happy for us and very excited as well. Mom promises the casserole is now in the fridge in the garage, far away from Bella's sensitive stomach.

Bella has given me the best Christmas present ever; expanding our family and our love.

The END

Well, that's the end of the story, but fret not, there are 3 Epilogues coming right up!
