DISCLAIMER: Stephanie Meyer owns all things Twilight

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I'm sorry this one wasn't up this morning. I got up late and then I had a ten hour work day. Yikes. But tomorrow(well today I suppose since it's 2:30 AM) is Sat. so I am happy.

-BPOV-

I spent the first day of my maternity leave with Edward.

We went to our doctor's appointment where Carlisle asked me how I was feeling. Tired, achy, and hungry; just like normal. He asked me about the movement of the baby, if he had become less active. I assured him that he was still quite active, especially early mornings or any other time I really wanted to sleep. And he had done an abdominal exam.

After being assured that everything was normal and I was right on track we had gone for ice cream, Edward's treat. And I had been lying on Edward's sofa, my eyes closed, as we listened to music ever since.

I must say, despite my earlier protests against maternity leave, I wouldn't mind spending the rest of my pregnancy just like this.

I smiled softly to myself, my eyes closed, as Clair de Lune came on.

The song was almost over when I heard a distinct CLICK.

I frowned, trying to place the sound, before opening my eyes and looking over at Edward who was guiltily holding a camera.

"Edward." I groaned.

He chuckled.

"I couldn't help myself." He said, not sounding ashamed in the least.

I rolled my eyes.

"You looked so peaceful." He said quietly.

I shrugged.

"I suppose I just feel peaceful." I admitted and Edward grinned.

The CD changed to the next track and I smiled, letting my eyes fall closed again.

"Edward." I said warningly without opening my eyes.

I heard his footsteps get closer and I opened one eye.

He was standing beside the couch, holding the camera out to me.

"Look." He prompted.

I sighed, struggling to sit up.

He chuckled, offering me a hand and I rolled my eyes, but eventually took it so that he could help me sit.

I took the camera from him and he sat down beside me, resting his chin on my shoulder so that he could look at the picture with me.

I almost didn't recognize the person in the picture. I looked so happy, so carefree, so... peaceful, as he had put it.

My hair had fallen out of it's messy ponytail earlier and I had left it, so in the picture it was fanned out around my head and I was smiling, my eyes closed. My stomach stuck out, perfectly round, covered by the soft blue material of my maternity top and the sun, shinning through the wall of windows, played across my face. One of my hands was resting on the top of my tummy and one was at the bottom so that it looked like I was forming a frame around it.

I smiled as I examined the picture.

I had never really liked having my picture taken but I was actually happy Edward had captured this moment for me. It really seemed like a moment to remember, and maybe even share with my son one day.

Edward sighed happily, and leaned his head against mine.

"Breath taking." He whispered.

My first instinct was to roll my eyes and brush the compliment off but instead I brought the camera out in front of me and clicked, taking a picture of the two of us before he had time to react.

He didn't protest though. He just sat up and held out his hand for the camera.

I raised one eyebrow in question but handed it over.

"Don't erase my picture." I warned.

He scoffed.

"Just hold still Bella."

Before I had time to react he clicked and I saw the little light on the front of the camera turn green, indicating that a picture had been taken.

Then he pointed the camera at my stomach.

"Say cheese baby boy." He cooed and I laughed.

He took the picture and grinned up at me.

"He's very photogenic." He commented, managing to keep a straight face.

I giggled.

"He must get that from you."

Edward rolled his eyes.

"You, my Bella, are absolutely beautiful."

And then he took another picture, probably managing to capture my blush so that it remained frozen forever.

I frowned and took the camera from him.

"Say cheese." I mimicked him and he laughed.

I took the picture.

He looked just as carefree and happy as I had in my picture, his head thrown back as he laughed.

I pointed the camera at my stomach and was just about to take the picture when Edward got up and moved so that he was sitting behind me.

Then he placed his hands on my stomach, his fingers forming a heart over my belly button.

She looked so utterly beautiful.

I had always thought she was the most gorgeous woman alive, even before I realized I was in love with her, but I had never seen her quite as breath taking as she was right at this precise moment.

Her hair was fanned out over her head, her eyes were closed, the sun bringing out some of the red tints in her hair, and her smile was soft and genuine. It was the smile of someone who was completely content.

Her stomach was sticking out above her as she lay there, the blue of her sweater looking wonderful with her creamy ivory complexion.

And I just couldn't help myself. I snagged the digital camera off of my nearby entertainment center and took a picture. This was a moment I wanted to freeze so that I could go back and look at it when ever something wasn't going right, just to remind myself that there are those rare moments in life that are absolutely perfect.

She frowned, pursing her lips, when she heard the click of the camera and I had to stifle a chuckle. She just looked so adorable.

"Edward." She groaned, reproachful once she opened her eyes and realized what the sound was.

I was unable to contain my happiness any longer and released a chuckle.

"I couldn't help myself." I said truthfully. "You looked so peaceful."

I thought back to her round belly stretching up over her body as she laid there, forming a protective frame around it with her arms. There was so much love evident for this little unborn baby. I knew how she felt.

I hadn't even known it was possible to love someone that you had never even seen this much. But I was so in love with our baby.

I think that just might have been it.

This was our baby; Mine and Bella's. Every time I looked at her I felt my love for them both grow more. I couldn't believe this remarkable woman was carrying my child. She was giving me the biggest gift life could offer. Our love had created another life.

I was completely speechless.

The song changed and Bella closed her eyes again.

"I suppose I just feel peaceful." She said quietly.

I smiled. She looked like an angel, an angel that was carrying my son.
