A/N: Aw guys, thank you so much for all the reviews. I'm so glad that you enjoyed the last chapter. I'm really sorry for the delay. Life has been...weired, and every time I sat down to write this chapter, I just kept getting distra...I have really small hands...SORRY! Distracted. I kept getting distracted...easily. lol. I want to thank everyone who kept me in their prayers, everything turned out great! Life changing, but great. Thanks :o)
I want to specially dedicate this chapter to TwilightxFanpire who kindly went out her way to surprise me with a banner for this story! You can find the link to it on my profile, but remember, she gets all the credit :o)
I have actually been doing my research on pregnancy, and yes you can feel the baby kick at four months. My friend was the same age as Bella in this fic when she gave birth to her first baby, and at four months she was quite big and letting us feel the baby kick. She also missed a lot of school, so sorry if I've been confusing anyone. I'm just basing this off of experience.
Enjoy :o)

Edward's POV
We all stood in the tiny office, Vice Principle Weaver staring back at us in anger. How the hell could this happen!? I was in trouble, and I mean BIG trouble. Actually, trouble isn't even the right word to use. Let's just say, with what I've just done, I'll be lucky if I get to see day light again before my kid graduates high school, because I am so grounded when my parents find out...but I'm getting ahead of myself, aren't I? I guess you're all wanting to know what happened the night before...after I asked that BIG question...well...we're about to find out...
~*Twilight*~
"Let's move in together!" That's all I remembered shouting as Bella sat there in bed, staring up at me as if I had officially been declared 'clinically insane'.
My chest heaved as I tried to regain control of my breathing, my arms which had been flying around in the air wildly, slowly fell to my side. I stared back at her, the anger that I had once felt towards that dog and the annoyance that I had once felt towards her for bringing in that dog, were slowly starting to fade as she continued to look up at me in silence. Oh c'mon! Say something already...unless...Oh shit, what if I've scared the crap out of her! It can't be good if you cause your pregnant girlfriend to go into shock. What if she doesn't want to move in with me? Ugh, it's just like when I was going to ask her out! I thought I'd be past the whole 'panicking about what she'll say' stage.
"Bella..." I mumbled, giving a nervouse smile "Now would be a good time to speak...and...breath maybe..."
"...Move in with you?" She gasped out "As in...move in with you? Like...house of our own. Just the two of us...That kind of 'move in with you'?"
"Unless you know another definition for the term...then yeah." Why the hell am I getting more and more freaked out with each passing minute. I mean, she loves me. She'd do anything for me and vice versa...shouldn't this type of question be expected? "...Do you? I mean...do you want to move in with me? Is it too soon!? Are we...there yet? Oh my gosh, we aren't are we!? It's too soon! Why the hell did I have to go and mess everything up by opening my big mouth!?"
"Woah!" Bella finally cried "Edward, stop rambling. I'm not surprised that you asked the question...I'm surprised at the fact that Jacob was right!"
Say what? Sitting back a little, I looked Bella straight in the eye, only to have her flop back against the pillows and burst out laughing. Ok, not really the reaction I was going for.
"Jacob?" I questioned, a little confused "What the hell has he got to do with us moving in together?"
"Just about everything!" She cried, giggling once again "Oh my gosh, I love him."
"Whoa! Ok, time out!" I said, pulling her back into a sitting position "What do you know that I don't!?"
"...Do you really want me to answer that question?" Bella asked, wincing slightly.
"I mean..." I began through gritted teeth "What do you know about the whole 'Jacob' thing...Not everything in general."
Smiling, Bella sat back a little, getting comfy to tell me her little story.
"Ok..." She began "So, I was kinda sick that we weren't taking any steps forward in our relationship. I could see us, five years from now with a kid, but still living from house to house. I didn't want that, so the other day Jacob called up about how your car was getting on..."
"Oh, how is my baby!?" I asked, cutting in.
"Still a piece of crap, now can I finish!?" I sat back a little "Anyway, he asked me how we were doing, and I told him how I was feeling...Long story short, Jacob's going to want his dog back soon."
Huh!? Duke belonged to Jake!
"What!?" I asked "You...you used your friends dog against me? How?"
"Well, like I said I was sick of us not moving forward." Bella filled in "So, I borrowed Duke, which caused you to think that he was my idea of that next step. But really what I was hoping for was for you to hate the dog, lose it, beg me to get rid of him and suggest something else. It worked like a charm! And the reason why I'm praising Jacob, was because it was his idea."
"I can't believe this..." I said in shock "You tricked me!?"
"I'm sorry." Bella cooed, but I could see the smirk she was fighting back "Just call it Jacob's payback for getting me pregnant, and for us getting all lovey dovey in front of him the other day."
"I swear next time I see him, I'm going to kick his ass."
Ok, so that will never happen, but she doesn't need to know.
I crossed my arms over my chest, huffing slightly as Bella began to laugh once more. I should have known straight from the beginning that there was something going on! What kind of idiot am I!? Although I must admit, the girl did have brains if she managed to get exactly what she wanted. I don't know whether to be annoyed, or impressed by that.
"I'm sorry baby." She said, taking my hand in hers "You know I would never hurt or upset you...Did you really believe that I would bring in a dog off the streets, knowing fine well that you were scared of them?"
"I'm not scared of dogs!?" I cried.
She just giggled again.
"Just picture Jacob's face when we kissed." She suggested "That'll cheer you up."
I couldn't help but smile at that. The look on his face when Bella kissed me had been priceless. Sighing a little, I uncrossed my arms, pulling Bella over to sit on my lap as I kissed her neck. I smiled between kisses when I heard her sigh in content while playing with the hem of my wife beater.
"So you're not mad at me?" She whispered, pulling back to lean her forehead against mine.
"No..." I smiled "But you didn't answer my question."
"Ask me again." She smiled.
"You want to move in with me?" I asked.
Everything went silent again, but I wasn't nervous this time. Bella sat on my lap, staring into my eyes with a huge smile that was threatening to rip her face in half. I already knew the answer...I just wanted to hear her say it.
"When should I start packing?"
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
Bella's POV
Ok, so I lied. I never found Duke on my way home. Jake and I planned it all and it worked, perfectly! I was moving in with Edward, and the dog was going back where it came from. I knew I said he was cute, but believe me...that thing was scary! What, with it's one eye constantly watching you. I'm surprised I didn't forget the plan and beg Edward to take him home myself! But now Duke is safely back with Jacob and Edward and I have to tackle something just as scary. School.
When Monday rolled along, neither of us were too thrilled about it. I felt like I hadn't been to school in months, when really I had only been missing a few days a week. I didn't know that juggling pregnancy and school work could be so hard. Edward on the other hand...well, Edward didn't really have an excuse. He just figured that when I wasn't there, he should stay home too. He said it was his duty to look after me, and make sure I stay safe...but really, I think he was dreading sitting in Biology alone.
We sat in my truck in silence, Edward moping at the fact that we had to take my baby to school for a change.
"Edward, would you cheer up." I chuckled, turning into the school parking lot, only to see him slip down lower in his seat "The truck is not that bad."
"Not that bad!" He cried "Bella, the engine backfired and people ducked! My car does not give the false impression of a drive by shooting!"
"Ok, first, they did not duck they jumped, and second..." I railed on "I don't think that you're in any fit position to be talking about my car."
At this he huffed, sitting back in his seat while crossing his arms over his chest. Ha, take that! Rolling my eyes and fighting back a smirk, I came to a stop next to Emmett's jeep, Edward diving out immediately.
"You know." I began, climbing out only to have him put his arm around me and usher me away from my pride and joy as fast as he could "You shouldn't be too upset. This is just for today. Jacob said he was bringing your replacement car over tonight."
"Really!?" Edward asked, excitement taking over him "Did he say what kind of car it was?"
"No." I replied "Just that it would suit you well...whatever that means."
I didn't know whether to be worried or not, but I guess tonight I was going to find out.

Edward's POV
The day dragged in. What felt like 3 hours had only been 20 minutes, and I was loosing it. Bella was off in English with Alice, and here I was, stuck with Emmett in Wood shop since Jasper decided he was 'too sick' to come to school today. Now wood shop wasn't my best subject. Let's just say I've super glued my fingers to my forehead one too many times. Emmett on the other hand...give him wood, a hammer, glue and some nails and BAM! He's like a magician when it comes to this class.
I stood across from Emmett at our table, staring at the crooked clock on the wall as I sawed through a piece of wood...badly might I add.
"Uh...Dude..." I faintly heard Emmett say "Are you about finished, or does sawing through air relax you?"
"Huh?" I said, looking down to see that I had in fact finished cutting through my wood "Ugh, I'm sorry Dude. I'm just finding it difficult to concentrate. The day is just crawling in. I've hardly seen Bella, I had to come to school in a truck older than both our ages combined, I can't get this damn wood to cut properly and on top of that, Billy Tonkin won't stop staring at me."
"...Isn't that the freshman who eats paint?" Emmett asked in confusion, pausing slightly.
"Yeah." I stated "The guy's watching me as if I'm some sort of god or something. Seriously Dude...it's creepy."
"Ed, think about it..." Emmett began, sanding the top of the chair he was making "You are the only guy in Fork's High history who has gotten a girl pregnant. Face it. You're practically a celebrity here."
"Gee, yippie for me." I replied sarcastically, sighing in frustration when the saw I had been using to cut another piece of wood snapped. "Fuck!"
"Mr. Cullen, language." Our teacher Mr. Collins called from the front of the class, never looking up.
I sighed again, turning to glare at Emmett as he laughed at my sorry excuse for work.
"Aw, C'mon." I exclaimed, turning to look at my work "It's...it's not that bad."
"...Sure..." Emmett replied in a high voice, forcing his laugh back "I mean...It's a cool looking CD rack."
"It's a crib." I corrected.
"Then you are screwed..." Emmett said in an amused tone "Dude, cheer up. Look on the bright side, lunch is next!"
"Yeah, I'll be able to see Bells and see how she's doing." I replied, cheering up a little at the thought of seeing my girl.
"Oh...Y-you were thinking about Bella?" Emmett asked sheepishly "...I was thinking about food."
I couldn't help but laugh a little. Emmett and food. What can you do?
~*Twilight*~
When Wood shop finally came to an end (Praise the Lord), Emmett and I headed towards the cafeteria. I couldn't help but find it odd that the hallways were unusually empty for lunchtime, but let the thought slip as we continued on our journey. I laughed a little as Emmett began to speed up. Seriously, you would think that the guy had never seen food before.
"Man, I wonder what they're serving..." He said in a dreamy voice "Meatballs...pizza..."
"Ew...Tuna Surprise." I replied, glancing at today's menu which hung on one of the notice boards "I don't even want to know what the 'surprse' is. You'll probably find that it's last weeks tuna."
"Dude! Stop I'm hungry!" Emmett bellowed "Right now I'd eat paint quite happily with Billy Tonkin, I'm so hungry."
"And here I had all this respect for you." I replied with a chuckle."
We were rounding the corner, nearing the cafeteria much to Emmett's liking, but we were forced to stop when a young boy, probably around 16, ran towards us, screaming and waving his arms around in the air.
"RUN!" He cried "Run for your lives! It's horrible in there!"
"What?" I asked, a little worried "What happened, what's going on!?"
I glance at Emmett, who is looking just as worried.
"Oh it's horrible in there!" The boy continued to cry out "Everywhere...It's everywhere!"
"Snap out of it man!" Emmett cried, grabbing the boy by the shoulders and shaking him "Where!?"
"...The cafeteria." He whispered out "She's crazy!"
Just as the words left his lips, I began to fear the worse. What the hell is going on!? Was Bella ok? I didn't get to ask anymore questions though. The minute Emmett heard the word 'cafeteria', he practically dropped the kid and took off. I took off in a run, over taking Emmett just as he was nearing the doors to where all this commotion was taking place. There was screaming...Lot's of it. Whatever was going on in that room, it couldn't be good.
Taking a deep breath, I glanced at Emmett, recieving a single nod of encouragement before we burst through the doors...and believe me...what we saw was something we did not expect. Food...food flying everywhere! And BELLA! Bella standing on one of the tables in the middle of the lunch hall with a tray of food, laughing like a maniac as she launched it at a group of cheerleaders off to the side. But if I thought I should have been shocked at that, I was wrong. Just as the tapioca pudding fell over the girls, Alice and Rosalie, who had been standing close by, began to cheer and clap happily. This had to stop!
"Ha Ha!" Bella cried over the noise as food flew in all directions, hitting everyone and everything "Take that!"
"Dude!" Emmett cried "You got to stop her!"
"I know, she's going to get hurt!" I replied.
"No!" Emmett bellowed "She's wasting perfectly good pudding!"
Rolling my eyes, I headed into the war zone, dodging a bagel as it flew past my head. I continued to duck and dive as food hurdled towards me, but was thankful that I got to Bella in one piece, who was now standing over the group of girls.
"What happened!?" I cried, crawling down onto the floor beside Alice and Rose, shielding my self with an upturned table.
"Bella lost it!" Rose cried, sitting up briefly to throw a banana over the table before ducking back down "A couple of girls were whispering and pointing at her. She tried to ignore it, but then the laughing started, and the name calling. She was sick of it...so...she decided to teach them a little lesson."
"By becoming more like..." Alice began before pointing to me "You! And let me tell you, it is fun!"
Great! Now she isn't worried about getting into trouble!
"Bella!" I cried, from the floor as I watched my girlfriend climb off the table and approach the girls "Put the yogurt down and step away from the cheerleaders...Don't make me come over there!"
I gasped when Bella turned to look at me. She was covered in food and a slight glint in her eye.
"Edward!" She said happily "Care to join in on the fun."
Wide eyed, I quickly scrambled across the floor, rushing to her side while missing flying food by mere centimeters. Five minutes in the room, and I'm still clean.
"Bella." I yelled above the noise "C'mon, we need ot get out of here before you get into trouble."
"Oh, Edward." Bella chuckled, throwing food off into the distance as some hit her leg "Live a little."
I was about to protest, kick and scream until she agreed to come with me, but stopped when I felt something hit my back...and then I heard it. One of the most annoying voice's on the face of this earth.
"Yes!" He cried "I got Cullen!"
"...Newton..." I growled.
Picking up an apple that lay at my feet, I slowly turned to face the baby faced blond idiot, who was laughing with his friends, high fiving random people as the passed. Take this you bastard.
"Oh Mikey!" I yelled sweetly, gaining his attention.
I smiled, waving slightly before launching the apple in his direction. Ha! Hope that hurts! But just as the apple was about to hit, Mike ducked, and I swear...I could have killed myself right then and there, because the person that my 'weapon' had made contact with, wasn't just anyone. I was Mr. Weaver, the Vice Principle. My eyes went wide as the apple bounced off his bald head, casuing the pudgy man's eyes to roll to the back of his head as he fell to the ground. Oh that can't be good.
"Uh...Edward..." Bella stuttered "I think I'm ready to leave now."
Yeah...Me too...Look's like it's lunch-to-go
~*Twilight*~
So here we are now. Emmett, Rose, Alice, Bella and I, all sat in Mr. Weavers office covered in food as he held an ice pack to his head, glaring at us from over his desk. I glanced at Bella, who gave me a look filled with concern and guilt.
"So..." Mr. Weaver began, directing it to all of us "You started a food fight...What do you have to say!?"
"...It's not a good idea to let a pregnant woman get pissed off in a lunch hall?" Alice questioned, causing Bella to turn beet red.
"You, You and You!" Mr. Weaver spat, pointing to Emmett, Rose and Alice "Detention, now get out of my office!"
They didn't need to be told twice. Emmett practically picked them up and ran out of there, leaving Bella and I alone with the old man. This isn't going to be pretty.
"Well Mr. Cullen...Miss Swan!" He boomed "What do you propose we do now!?"
I couldn't think of anything. Where would I even begin. Do I just come out and tell him 'Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Weaver. Bella went crazy and decided to attack a group of cheerleaders with her lunch while I knocked you out with a piece of fruit...pudding anyone?'. I doubt that would go down well.
Boy, didn't Jasper pick a good day to be off.

Bella's POV
When Edward and I finally got out of Mr. Weavers office, who told us to just go home after giving us detention for a month, I drove us back to Edward's as quickly as possible. We spent the journey mainly in silence, but when I came to stop outside his house, I couldn't help but laugh a little, causing Edward to give me a confused look.
"Look at it this way." I chuckled out "At least we bonded as a couple."
He laughed at this, rolling his eyes before climbing out the truck.
"Well next time, lets try something alittle less...messy."
I laughed a little, walking over to Edward's side as we made our way up the driveway, but we stopped at what we saw. Jacob, standing next to a car covered in a sheet, gaping at us.
"Do I want to know?" He asked with a small smirk.
"Probably not." Edward replied "So...is this the replacment car you've been promising me?"
"Yup." He smirked "And I think it's very...You..."
We didn't get to say anything berfore he whiped off the sheet, revealing to us the car that Edward would be forced to drive for the next two months.
"Oh my gosh you didn't." I choked out.
Jacob is so going to die for this.
