( A/N Picture of the Club that Bella and Edward own is now on my profile, as well as pictures of What Ellie looks like.)

Bella POV

Edward had been hunting when I had left the house this morning. I had to go to work, running a clue takes some organisation. Some organisation that I sometimes felt went unappreciated by my husband. Granted it was a founded concern for my health throughout the pregnancy that was the foot hold of his dislike for my job. But that didn't mean he had to preach about it for most of his life.

I sighed and sorted through the post as I sat at eh bar, the fee lance high school drop outs I employed scuttling around trying to look like they wanted to be there. I sighed and took a sip of my water just as there was the sound of voices, well moans, and I looked to see Chris and Anthony walking up the stairs into the room, both wearing sun glasses and dark clothes.

They looked like the living dead, which was kind of dead seeing as one of them was half vampire.

I laughed as they signed in and stumbled behind the bar to take off their coats. They helped me out by running it, on pain of death by my husband should I so much as lift a finger.

"you look rough, how much sleep did you get last night?" I laughed.

Chris mumbled something and Anthony moaned, rubbing his head.

"well after we left the bar we took the party home, the girls got drunk and I spent the night under dads trashed piano." My son moaned.

"What happened to that by the way?" Chris asked.

I shook my head, "don't even ask."

There was another voice and the boys I could feel watching my back in the low cut top I was wearing suddenly went back to there work. I sighed, there was only one person they would do that for.

The person who sighed the lease for the club along with me.

"Hey honey, there is a delivery of beer out back you can bring in thanks…" I said and went to walk away when Edward gently caught my arm."Its okay to sneak out of the house without telling me now is it?" He growled and Anthony and Chris muttered something about the delivery of beer and left.

"Love I didn't know where you were I was worried sick." Edward sighed and I swallowed.

"I know I just… knew you wouldn't want me to be working."

He sighed again but smiled, "So when do you finish."

I shrugged, "Only about half an hour…"

"Wrong." Edward said and honed me my jacket, letting me put it on before leading me out by the hand."Where are we going?" I demanded as we shot through Forks and arrived at the hospital. Edward climbed out and walked around to my side, opening the door and holding hi hand out.

I frowned at him with my arms folded.

He sighed, "I bought you something."

I snorted, "The ER, very funny."

"No." He said, "Baby scan come on."

I raised my eyebrows and he sighed.

"Its to give me piece of mind sweetheart, come on."

I nodded and climbed out, walking hand in hand with him to Carlisle's office. I had to admit I was slightly excited to see my baby, but I wouldn't let on to Edward about that, he might use this as a springboard to continue to buy me things I might like.

Carlisle smiled when eh saw us and shut the door behind us.

"Well then how's my favourite patient?" He laughed and I rolled my eyes at what he used to call me when I was human.

"I'm fine thank you, my backs sore though, but that's normal isn't it?" I asked him where I was now laying on the ed, him feeling my stomach gently. I saw Edward stiffen slightly when I mentioned me being in pain but I ignored him. I trusted him to keep his overprotectiveness in check, at least until we got home and he was free to do it till the cows came home.

Carlisle nodded, "All I can say is to rest and not strain yourself."

He sat down on the bed facing me and ran the instrument over my bump, I smiled at the picture on the screen, the tiny heart beating in the centre of the grey swirls.

Carlisle pressed a button and the heart beat filled the room. Edwards lips touched my temple and eh squeezed my hand. I squeezed back, unable to tear my eyes away from the picture of your baby. But without even having to look at my husband, I knew he would be smiling.

Carlisle handed me some tissue to wipe my stomach with and Edward took it from me, rubbing it in small gentle pats. I stroked his hair while Carlisle filled the necessary human forms out.

"It seems you are around five months pregnant Bella." He said and I nodded.

"Would I be alright to give birth at home?" I asked suddenly.

Edward at up and looked at me as though he were seeing me for the first time and Carlisle looked at me gently.

"As long as everything remains healthy up till your due date I don't see any reason why not." He said.

I smiled, something about having my baby at home with just Edward there seemed more private, and I had always been one for that, even when I was human, from what I could remember of myself then anyway.

As if he knew what I was thinking Carlisle smiled, "You would be okay for Edward to deliver it I assume, he is trained and it would be more…" He searched for the word."Private." I suggested.

I glanced at Edward, though my eyes were unable to leave his face once I saw the colour of his eyes, they were coal black, and would not look at my face.

"What's the matter?" I asked quietly and anxiously.

Edward glanced at me and then away again, and I was startled at the haunted look in his irises.

Carlisle walked towards the door.

"I'll leave you to talk." He said and left.

"Edward?" I asked after a moment of him not speaking.

He looked at me and then away again.

"What's wrong don't you want me to have the baby at home?" I demanded.

He shook his head, "That's not it."

"Then what is, Edward talk to me?" I cried and bent to look into his eyes,

He let out a shuttering breath, "The responsibility I would feel… I couldn't handle it.. .if something went wrong I don't know what I would do…""nothing will go wrong." I said, to assure myself as well as him. I took his face in my hands and hissed the space between is eyes.

"Please." I whispered, "Its important to me."

I pulled back to see Edward at some kind of war with himself. It seemed selfish to ask him to shoulder that kind of responsibly when it was clear he was unhappy doing it, but I wanted him to be the one to deliver our baby, if only eh would see that.

Edward swallowed, "Okay."

I flung my arms around his neck and hugged him tight.

"Only." He said and pulled back to look at me with warning in his eyes.

"Only if you stop working at the club for the rest of the pregnancy and let me take over." He said.

I groaned but nodded, him smiling and standing me up, putting my coat on me.

"What's the rush?" I asked as he opened the door and steered me towards the car.

"I have one more surprise for you." he said and we sped away.

I glanced at him," its not the fire department is it."

He laughed and took my hand, kissing my knuckles and beaming.

"Not quite." he said and pressed harder on the accelerator.
