Chapter Thirty-six: Telling Edward
BPOV
The doctor congratulates me. I ask him, "How far along am I?" He says that they only did a basic blood test and I would need to do a follow up with an OBGYN.
Annie Mae sits quietly in the corner as he finally exits the cubicle to process my release papers.
I turn to her. "So, am I having twins, too?"
She answers, "I don't know. Rose had the special herbs and the callings." She looks down and sighs.
"But Alice and I were exposed to your callings."
"You both will have healthy pregnancies."
"Well, so far I'm good. Edward's experiencing the morning sickness," I smirk.
"Not for long. Once you tell him you're pregnant, it will cease for him."
"We've not talked about kids. I mean, we know we are 'it' for one another, but I don't know how he'll feel about this."
She stands and hugs me. "Child, there's no need to fret. That boy loves you. You may be very surprised by his reaction."
"What's the supposed to mean?" I ask staring at her.
She smiles and walks toward the door, turns and winks. "I'll send him in."
I lowly growl and smack the bed. Then, quickly watch the door as Edward carefully maneuvers his crutches into the cubicle.
He glances up at me. "How are you feeling?"
I nervously grin. "I'm okay. How are you?"
He sits on the chair next to the bed. "I'm okay. You scared the crap out of me. No one would tell me anything."
"The doctor is arranging for my release. We can talk when we get home."
"Is there something I should be worried about?"
"No. I'd rather talk at home; just you and me."
EPOV
The car ride is silent. Jasper and I sit in front while Bella and Alice are in the back. I side-glance her the entire way, but she says nothing. My nerves are on edge.
Jasper helps me upstairs. But as we turn the corner, I can see Alice lunge for Bella into a tight hug. Bella cries as Alice soothes her. My Bella doesn't cry about anything. This worries me.
"Jazz, have you any idea why Bella is crying?"
He looks surprised. "She's crying?" He shrugs. "I don't know. Did you do something?"
"Why does everyone believe it's always me?"
"Because it usually is you," he apologetically mumbles.
"And you don't have a clue what the doctors said?"
"I'm in the dark as you are, Edward. We're not next of kin. Hell, if anyone knows, it's Annie Mae."
I hand Jasper my crutches as I find a comfortable spot on the bed and rest my head back on the pillows. "I'm scared."
"I'm sure it was all stress related. Both she and Alice have been worried about Rose."
Bella stands at the door with Alice behind her.
Alice quietly asks tiptoeing over Bella, "Jasper, are you ready to go? Bella gave me her keys."
He smiles at me. "We're going to head to Bella's place and stay there." He blushes. "Give the two of you some privacy."
"Thanks, Jazz."
He leans down and hugs me. "If you need anything, just call me."
I pat his back. "I will."
My brother squeezes Bella's shoulder and he and Alice leave.
BPOV
I slowly enter the room and sit on the bed in front of Edward.
We're both nervous, but he breaks the silence. "Please, tell me you're all right."
I fidget with my fingers and look up at him. He stares at me with such fear and love.
"I'm okay. I don't know how to tell you this. We never discussed …"
"Bella, if you're sick, I'm not going anywhere." Tears fill his eyes and his voice breaks. "I'm here for you. We'll get through this whatever 'it' is."
I clear my throat. "I'm not sick."
He heaves a breath and holds in his emotions.
"When Annie Mae did what she did for Rose, she used a lot of her power, her knowledge, and she didn't limit the space."
He frowns. "What happened? Rose and the babies will be all right?"
"Oh, they're fine. Annie Mae expects a strong, healthy pregnancy for her to full term."
He relaxes. "Good." Edward grabs my hands. "But what about you. What does this have to do with you?"
"Edward, um, Alice is pregnant," I nervously blurt out.
"Well, yeah, we know that."
I anxiously rant, "She became pregnant because of what Annie Mae did. Oh, and Jasper, too. Um, her callings. She doesn't like the word 'spells.' They sort of overflowed to anyone … female … in the room."
He blankly looks at me. And I turn away.
"Ah, I was in the room ... too." I look up at his shocked expression.
"You're pregnant?" he quietly asks.
I nod.
I can't look at him.
I don't know if he's angry or dumbfounded.
I'm afraid to look up.
I feel Edward's hands wrap around my middle and he lays his head on my shoulders.
"You're having my baby."
He holds me close. His breathing is sound and easy, his arms tighten around me, and he kisses my neck. He whispers, "My baby."
Then, he straightens up. "Are we having twins, too?"
"Wow, you Cullen boys ask the same questions. Jasper just did the same with Alice when she told him."
He cups my face and stares into my eyes. "Are we?"
I wrap my hands over his. "We don't know. Annie Mae says that Alice and I didn't have the herbs, but Rose was already pregnant and that could already have been in place. So, we just don't know how things will progress. You and I and Alice and Jasper all had sex within the timing of the calling. So, we got sucked in; sort of."
Edward moves me between his legs with my back on his chest, and I rest my head on shoulders. He leans down and kisses me with gentleness and care. The palms of his hands lay upon my abdomen. "I need you, Bella. I need to feel you."
The intensity of his emotions touches me like a burning fire from within. "I need to be closer to you," he breathes.
Watching his leg, I maneuver myself over him, as he removes his jeans and I slide out of mine. Edward raises me under my arms and I slowly fall around him. At first, we don't budge. My arms around his shoulder with my hands in his hair and he with his arms around my middle.
He lies back as I raise up and guide down his shaft with heavy breaths of relief. "You're not angry with me?"
"No, I could never be angry about this. I'm feeling many emotions."
I nervously giggle, "I feel that."
He finally smiles.
"Edward?"
"Shh shh, let's not talk. I just want to feel."
I nod.
We slowly dance the rhythm. Edward leans forward and massages my breasts. His searing stare excites, his hand drops down between my legs as he strums me like an instrument playing our song, raising my limits. "I love you."
"I love you, too."
"Bella, I love that you're pregnant. I want this with you."
I tear up. "I was so afraid you'd be angry. We haven't talked about children."
"I'm happy. You make me happy." He quickens his movements. "Baby or babies make me happy." He laughs, grunts and moans, "You're having my baby." He laughs and sings, "What a lovely way to say how much you love me."
I hysterically laugh from release. "Oh God, yes. Do that again."
He starts to sing, "Having…"
I interrupt, "No singing, just do that thrust again."
He does it.
I order, "Again."
He does it again.
"Again."
"Getting a bit bossy, little mama?"
I clench my teeth and growl, "Again!"
Edward continues to trust and we both finally fall back onto one another.
Trying to compose my jello-filled body, I sit up and kiss him hard. "Much better."
"You know, I hear that a woman's sex drive is pretty intense when they're pregnant," he offers.
"Is it now?"
"Maybe if this proves to be true, we could consider more."
"Edward, can we please get through this one first?"
"Just saying."
"You're incorrigible."
"My mother …"
I squeal, "I know. Three pregnancies."
"And my dad."
"He's going to be such an amazing granddad. I love your family."
"They love you."
"Edward, from no grandkids to four or maybe six."
"Mom will be beside herself."
"Annie Mae was smiling in the ER. She wasn't upset with her … blunder."
Edward smirks. "And possibly, it wasn't a mistake."
I shake my head.
"Oh, shit," he moans.
"What? Your leg? Did I hurt you?" I fuss.
"No, that's three with raging hormones."
"I'm promising not to be a bitch. I will cap myself. And Alice is pretty even-keeled."
"Maybe Annie Mae can give you something … to take the edge off."
"Then, that might diminish the sex drive."
"Forget about that." He thinks. "Emmett's going to love this, you know."
"We'll all have kids the same age. I like that."
"Me, too"
"This is exciting." He rubs my tummy. "Hey, baby… babies."
He kisses me and sings, "You're having my baby."
"Dork."
"Little mama."
"Big Daddy."
He continues to sing softly in my ear and I just smile. I wonder if he'll still have morning sickness.
