I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT!
Chapter 53
(Edward)
It had been a week since we had gotten back from vacation. Bella and I were headed to her ultrasound, with the whole family following us. "I'm so nervous," She said. I looked down and noticed her knee shaking.
"What makes you so nervous?" I asked her.
"I don't know, what if something's wrong What if the baby closes its legs and we can't see?" She asked.
"Well you are still feeling the baby move aren't you?" I asked.
"Oh yah. I just wish you could," She sighed.
"I will soon enough," I told her. "And if the baby wont cooperate, then we will try another time."
She looked at me with her big brown puppy dog eyes. "Can we go see Jake and Nessie when this is over? They are wanting to know if they are getting a niece or nephew."
"That's fine. I was planning on it actually," I said pulling into the parking lot.
She laughed.."Get out of my head,"
"Nope, you know I can read your mind," I joked helping her out of the car.
We all went in and sat down while Bella signed in. Dad, her and my sisters were convinced it was a girl, while my brothers were praying for a boy.
Bella sat next to me. "Esme and I have decided to let you two go back by yourselves. We will wait out here for you," Dad said.
"You are welcome to go back," Bella said.
"We know, but this should be a special moment between the two of you," Mom said to her.
"Bella Swan," Angela called.
"Good luck," Alice called as we followed Angela back.
We talked to Angela as she did Bella's blood pressure and checked her weight. Angela was really sweet and Bella seemed to like her too. Once we were done with that, we went back to the ultrasound room. "Do you want to know what you are having?" Angela asked.
"Yes," Bella and I both said at the same time causing Angela to laugh.
"Alright. Sit up here and Dr. Smith will be here shortly.
Minutes after Angela left, Dr. Smith came in. "Lie back and we will see your baby," She said.
Bella laid back on the table and pulled her shirt up. "This will be cold," She told Bella.
Bella squeezed my hand and smiled. "Are you excited?" She asked me.
"Yes, I can't wait," I told her.
"Bella, it's nice to see you happy. Have things been going pretty good?" Dr. Smith asked.
"Really well. I've been feeling the baby move some," Bella said smiling.
"That's great and dad it shouldn't be much longer and you will be able to feel it too."
The room was filled with the baby's heart beat. "The baby is looking great and the heart beat is very strong. Now lets see what you are having."
I looked down and Bella, tears were in her eyes as Dr. Smith moved the wand around. "Alright, if you look right here you will be able to see. You are having a little boy."
Bella gasped and more tears fell. I was starting to worry, she was really hoping for a little girl. "We're having a son," She said through tears.
"Are you ok with that?" I asked her.
"Um Edward, we don't have a choice," She said. "But yes, I'm excited a little boy."
Once Dr. Smith finished with the ultrasound, I wiped Bella's stomach off and she gave us some pictures.
(Esme)
"Oh God, how long will this take? What if they can't see what it is? What if she doesn't tell us?" Alice asked frantically bouncing in her seat.
"Alice honey, calm down. They assured us that they would tell us and if the baby has its legs crossed, then they can go back again later and do another ultrasound," Carlisle said to her.
"That baby better uncross the legs!" Emmett said. "I want to know as bad as Alice does."
I shook my head at my kids, when we had all of them, before Bella came, I really wondered about them and if they would get along. I was so glad that they turned out to be best friends.
"Oh my gosh, there they are!" Rose exclaimed.
"Now just calm down, don't jump all over her," Carlisle warned.
Edward and Bella walked over to us. "Well?" I asked.
Bella looked at Carlisle. "I know you seemed to have your heart set on a granddaughter, but will you be ok with a grandson?" She asked.
"Bella, you seriously weren't worried about that were you?" He asked her.
She shrugged. "Maybe a little."
"You crazy girl! I'm happy with either," He said hugging her. "I get a grandson!" Carlisle exclaimed.
Everyone hugged Bella and Edward congratulating them.
(Edward)
"Bella, we have to go shopping!" Alice exclaimed.
"We will, I promise, but Edward and I are going to Port Angelas to tell Jake and Nessie," Bella told her.
"Oh," Alice said sounding disappointed.
"We can go tomorrow and spend the day if that makes you happy," Bella offered.
"Great!" Alice squealed.
Emmett put his hand on Bella's stomach and leaned over. "Well little guy, I am your uncle Emmett. We are going to have so much fun when you get here. I am going to take you to the zoo and we can count the animals screwing."
"Emmett! What the hell?" Rose yelled smacking him in the head.
"Ow," He complained rubbing the back of his head.
"Cut it out you two, people are staring at us," Dad said.
"Sorry Bella, he is such a big kid sometimes," Rose said hugging her.
Bella glances from Rose to Emmett and back to Rose. "You are the one stuck with him."
"I suppose I am. I just have to find a book on how to train boyfriends in 5 days," Rose laughed.
Jasper put his hand on Bella's stomach. "I am your uncle Jasper, the normal one. They say I am like Prozac and can calm people's moods."
"We need it with this crazy bunch," Bella laughed.
(Bella)
Edward had the biggest smile on his face when we got in the car. "We are having a son!" He said laughing out loud.
"I know. Your dad was convinced he was going to be a she," I said shaking my head.
"Bella are you happy? I know you were wanting a girl." He said.
"I only said that since I'm unsure who the father is. I was afraid if it was a boy and he looked like James..."
"Bella, are you afraid that this baby boy will look like James?" He asked calmly.
"I don't know Edward. What if he acts like him? Then what am I going to do?"
He pulled the car over onto a small path. "Bella," He sighed. "If the baby is his and looks like him, it wont matter to me. He is my son. He has been mine since you told me you were pregnant and will be mine forever. He wont be like James at all, he will be raised by us, in a strong family that loves him and loves each other. He wont ever see what kind of person James was. And if he is, someday I will help you set him down and talk to him about James."
"I guess it's not fair to put this on an innocent baby is it?" I asked rubbing my stomach.
"Not really, but it's understandable fears," He assured me.
"Hey little guy, your daddy and I are going to do our damn best to protect you. We love you little man," I said rubbing my stomach.
(Edward)
My heart melted at her words. She hadn't expressed love for the baby yet. When we found out we were having a boy, I was a little concerned, since she seemed to have her heart set on a girl, but she assured me she was happy.
We got to Port Angeles and drove over to the shop where Jake worked. I followed Bella inside. Jake had his back to us, he was on the phone. Bella walked right up behind him and waited until he was off, glancing back to wink at me.
As soon as he got off the phone Bella cleared her throat. "I've been standing here for 30minutes waiting for you to get off the phone. I need my damned breaks checked!"
He spun around "You need to watch...Oh my God Bella!" He exclaimed hugging her tightly. "How are you guys?"
"We're good," I replied laughing.
He let go of Bella and looked at her. "Damn girl! Look at you!"
"I know, I got huge on the trip," She grumbled.
"You look cute. How are you feeling?" He asked.
"Pretty good. I finally got rid of the sickness," She told him.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
"We thought you would want to know if you were getting a niece or a nephew," I said.
"Hell yes! Boy or girl?"
"Where is Nessie?" Bella asked.
"We are going for lunch at 1:30," He replied.
"Well I guess you will find out then," Bella said.
"I really hate you sometimes," He joked.
"I know you do," She said giggling.
We talked about where to have lunch and he called and cleared it with Nessie. She was really excited to find out also.
(Bella)
Since we had a while before lunch, Edward and I went to the mall to look at some baby things. "Holy shit look at all this baby stuff," I said as we walked into the baby store. "How could something so small need so much stuff?" I asked in disbelief.
"God Bella, I don't know," He said looking around. "And check this out. It's a leash for kids."
"Wow. We should get one for Rose. She could use it on Emmett," Edward laughed.
"I don't know if a leash would help, she needs a shock collar on him," I giggled.
I slipped my arm around his waist and walked over to the clothes. "Look at all of these tiny clothes," I sighed. Suddenly I felt tears stinging my eyes and I looked down so Edward wouldn't see me fighting the odd urge to cry.
"Bella, look at this," He said holding up a little blue shirt that said "I get my looks from my mom, but my muscles from my dad."
That was all it took and the tears started flowing. "Bella sweetheart, what's the matter?" He asked.
"I don't know," I cried.
He pulled me into his arms and hugged me tightly. "It could be the hormones dad was telling up about that time at the beach."
"I'm just crazy," I said.
"No you're not. You're pregnant," He laughed softly.
"I guess your right," I sighed.
We ended up getting him a couple outfits along with the shirt. The sales lady looked at me and down at my stomach, shaking her head. Edward noticed it and put his hand on my stomach, while I glared at her. Luckily she didn't say anything, pregnant or not I would have beat her down.
Edward and I got to the restaurant a few minutes late and found Jake and Nessie already sitting there. "Bella!" Nessie said hugging me. "How are you feeling?" She asked.
"I'm feeling really good," I said.
"Jake said you know what you are having," She said grinning.
"We do, but lets order first. I'm starving," I suggested.
Once the food was ordered Edward and Jake fell into a conversation about motorcycles, while Nessie told me that she was going to ask Esme to help plan her wedding.
I felt Edward nudge me and looked at him. "Lets tell them. I have about let it slip twice," He whispered.
"I suppose, but I bet they really aren't interested in the baby," I smirked kissing him on the lips.
"Hello! Yes we want to know!" Nessie exclaimed.
"Well, we are having a...I am so thirsty," I said taking a drink of my water.
"Come on Bella," Jake said almost whining.
"Grow up Jake. Nessie doesn't want to marry a kid," I teased.
"Bella! Don't make me come across the table," Jake teased back.
"Alright calm down," I said. "Edward, you tell them."
"Well at first they thought it was a kitten and then when they looked again it looked like a werewolf," Edward said reaching over and rubbing my stomach.
Nessie picked her lemon out of her drink and threw at Edward, hitting him in the chest. "Real mature Nessie, I guess our son wont be spending a lot of time with you guys if you are going to act like this in a restaurant," Edward said laughing.
"A boy?" Jake asked looking at me.
"Yep, I'm going to have a little boy."
Jake stood up and walked over to my side of the table and pulled me up. "I'm so happy for you," He said hugging me.
"Thanks," I said crying into his chest.
"Bella honey why are you crying?" He asked.
"I don't know! Anytime I'm happy or sad or excited I cry like a baby."
"It's the hormones," Nessie said calmly hugging me.
"Well what ever it is, it sucks," I said wiping my eyes and returning to Edward's embrace.
Lunch had been fun, Nessie spent the time gushing over how excited she was to be getting a nephew and how she couldn't wait to start a family with Jake. I could just see them having dozens of babies crawling around and Jake being the happiest man on earth.
