"Come in Alice." I was laying Bella on the bed, wishing that I could crawl on top of her and kiss her into next week, but undoubtedly, the Interruption Squad would bother us.

"Garrett will be accepting Carlisle's invitation to stay and Jessica will be in the dark until just before your wedding, which they both will be attending. She will notice things, but keep them to herself as she continues to observe all of us. Garrett will accept lessons from all of us on how to at more human and how to be intimate with a human as well." She left something out and we both knew it. She thought it at me though, 'she and Garrett will seal their bond before Christmas. Sorry.' She did have the decency to look apologetic. Bella caught it and aimed her glare at me.

"What did she think at you?" She demanded. Damn, she was too observant!

"Um, you're not going to like it."

"They're going to do it before us, aren't they?" I looked down, confirming her answer.

"THIS IS TOTAL AND COMPLETE CRAP!" She yelled and Alice discreetly left the room. I was left alone to face her wrath and I did nothing wrong. I could hear Alice redirecting the concerned questions about Bella since even the humans in the house heard her outburst. Everyone except Jessica and Garrett most likely knew by now why she was pissed.

"I'm sorry Bella. What can I do to make you feel better?" She got off the bed and I wondered what she was going to do.

"Is Carlisle still here?" She asked.

"Yes, what are you doing?"

"Expressing myself." As she said that, she kicked one of the windows that made up one wall of our room. Immediately she crumpled to the floor and I could see why. She used as much force as she could muster and cracked the glass. In a strange way, I was proud of her.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow. That really hurt." She was trying to cradle her foot, but couldn't because of her belly. I delayed too long in my reaction.

"Are you going to help me up or sit there and watch me?" She was very angry and now taking it out on me. I scooped her up and took her down to Carlisle's office, where he was waiting for us. I knew she would apologize to me, and also that her hormones were so out of whack, that everyone was suffering from her mood swings. I, as her mate, took the brunt of it, even when it wasn't my fault. Last week, Emmett messed with her truck, siphoning the gas out of it, and I got yelled at. Rosalie found out the truth and withheld sex from Emmett for the rest of the week. He apologized to both of us after that. No one messed with Bella and all of us did what we could to keep her happy; Jasper especially. He was the only one she was nice to all of the time. I was a little jealous of that fact.

"Bella, I understand your anger and your frustration, but if you feel the need to vent your anger in a physical way, please ask Edward to take you to the forest and knock down trees instead of kicking windows."

"Yes Carlisle, I'm sorry." He felt around and concluded that she fractured three bones in her foot, not including all five toes that she broke. It meant a cast for her, and because of the pregnancy, she wasn't able to have any pain medication other than Tylenol. She wasn't happy, but understood the consequences of her decision. I felt bad for her, she wasn't as able to redirect her emotions as I was and she had tem compounded by the pregnancy. I suddenly felt the urge to destroy. I waited until her cast was set and dried before approaching her.

"Want to go rearrange the trees?" I tried to put a little humor into it and I was rewarded with a small smile.

"I'm sorry, Edward. It's not your fault and I know that I've been taking everything out on you."

"It's my job, love. I'm glad that you feel safe enough to vent at me. I'm just as frustrated and angry as you." I hugged her to me. This is how our life went for the rest of the summer. We rearranged several forests between here and Canada in our anger. The newly mated couples still dominated the house and we tried to only show up for Bella's appointments. It seemed to be the only time that everyone stopped enjoying their mates. It was now September and Bella was eight weeks away from her due date. In four more weeks, she was going to give Rosalie her gift of adoption. She was considerably larger and riding on anyone's back was no longer an option; it hasn't been since the end of June. I know she's miserable and I'm doing everything I can to make her comfortable. It was possible, she's even more moody than she was a month ago. I'm eternally grateful to Jasper for sending waves of calm and relaxation to her throughout the day. Since she was now seeing Carlisle on a more regular basis, we were once again living in the 'house of sex' as she calls it. She is not happy about it by any means and neither am I, but the couples have three options at all times. They can eave the house, go to Charlie's or just abstain. The third option is rarely chosen. The Interruption Squad is still working at full force, but we've just decided to wait altogether now. She can't get comfortable for too long anyway. I'm going to have to really build up my tolerance again before our wedding night. I don't know yet, how we'll be able to accomplish that. Her back is bothering her right now so I am propped up with a heating pad and blanket against my stomach with her resting on me, between my legs. She usually falls asleep like this and everyone knows to keep quiet while she's resting. She hasn't been sleeping well lately so we are doing what we can to ensure that she's getting as much rest as she can. I've placed my hand on her large belly, feeling the baby move. Jasper says that he can feel the baby as a separate entity from Bella though he hasn't told her yet. I can hear the baby when he or she is awake, but there isn't anything he or she can see. The baby recognizes all of our voices and Bella's heartbeat. Again, Bella doesn't know this and we aren't going to tell her either. Alice said it would make her change her mind if she knew this. Bella moved her hand over her belly in her sleep; the baby must have kicked her uncomfortably. I was melancholy because I still wished, as everyone else does, that this baby was mine.

Though he was virtually silent, Emmett woke her with pizza for the humans. The smell woke her and she was a little grumpy. She was even more upset when she couldn't get off the couch without help.

"Don't worry preggo, I can bring it to you. I mean, you do come with your own table and everything now." I smiled, glad that I was behind her. Rosalie came up and offered to help her. She grumbled but accepted it. I set aside the blankets and heating pad as Rosalie walked Bella to the table. Emmett had her plate ready for her and she quietly thanked them. Rosalie wanted almost constant feedback on her moods so she stayed close to Jasper.

BPOV

The pizza did smell good and I still felt bad that I was so moody with everyone. I couldn't exactly help it, though, and I was glad that they were all taking it with good grace. Jasper and Edward constantly reassured me that no one was taking my insults personally, which helped. I was irritated that we were living at the Cullen house again, surrounded by sex, again. I knew they were all trying their hardest to avoid it in the house, it was the fact that we knew what they were leaving for. I was three months away from the new wedding date, so that helped marginally.

Irina was still stalking Mr. Banner and had managed to coincidentally 'bump into him' on a few of his outings. She was still posing as a student, so she couldn't get anywhere, which means she wasn't sealing the mating bond and that made me feel loads better. Alice assures me that I will bond with Edward before Irina bonds with her mate.

On the other hand, Jessica and Garrett are getting awfully close. She's here almost everyday now. Garret has adapted to the new change in diet and lifestyle with ease and a lot of coaching from everyone. Edward tells me that she is noticing more everyday and it won't be long until she learns the truth. They told me that Garrett has no intention of bonding to her until she knows the truth about him. It was only fair and she still had a choice. If she rejects him, then he would walk away and return to his nomadic ways.

Dad finally proposed to Kate and though I'm happy for them, I don't want their sex life flaunted in my face. They are going to Vegas as soon as I can travel after the baby is born. He will be changed while Edward and I are on our honeymoon.

Mike has finally decided to join our life. He and Tanya got married at the courthouse and we all went of course. He told his family, who still love Tanya, that since they were going off to college together, that he wanted to be married to the girl of his dreams. He said he was going to do it whether or not they approved, so they offered up their blessing. He and Tanya were up in Alaska, but would be back for Christmas.

Basically, I am a bump on a log, waiting for this baby to come out so I can get my body back in shape, marry Edward and start my life with him. In four more weeks, I would give Rosalie her dream, though a small part of me was sad about it, the larger part of me knew I was doing the right thing. I ate in silence, not feeling the need to talk to anyone right now. I wasn't the best conversationalist anyway. If I wasn't eating, then I was in the bathroom or sleeping. I'm sure that Edward was bored out of his mind. Was it possible to bore a vampire to death? I'd have to talk to him about that. As soon as I finished eating, Edward snatched my plate and walked to the kitchen because of course, Jessica was here. He helped me out of my seat and walked me to the stairs. Because of her, he couldn't carry me up there either and I had to walk the entire three flights. I still remember the day she chose to break the rules.

In our room, I laid on the bed to take a nap. When I woke, I rolled out of bed and waddled into the bathroom. I saw red when I came out. Jessica was in here, snooping. She had just come out of our closet and was heading to the desk. I saw her pick up Edward's journal and that's when I stopped her.

"What are you doing in here?" She jumped and dropped the journal. She knew that she had been caught red handed. Edward played it off like he was coming up to check on me anyway. Only once have I seen him so pissed and that was back in Phoenix.

"Jessica, did Bella invite you in here?"

"No."

"Did she give you permission to look at our things and handle our property?" He picked up his journal and handed it to me. I set it on his nightstand.

"No."

"Then you need to leave this room, right now. Bella will explain everything to you." He walked us both down to the living room and left me there with her. I knew he was going to find Garrett. I sat down with her before Garrett took her home.

"Jess, in this house, there really isn't any secrets. I'm sure you've noticed, but it is a rule that you do not enter anyone's bedroom without permission. This is a zero tolerance policy; a closed door means just that. The book you were about to look in was Edward's journal and that is wrong for you to read it. Would you like it if he read yours?" She shook her head.

"I don't read it and I've been granted permission. That is my room too and I don't like what little privacy we have to be invaded." She nodded, properly taught her lesson.

"I'm sorry. I was wandering while I waited for Garrett. Um, Bella, can I talk to you in private, Bella?" She asked.

"It will have to be at your house. My dad is at my house with his fiancée that he can't get enough of these days."

"That's fine. I just need to talk to you." Edward and Garrett entered the room and Garrett didn't look happy.

"Jessica, I was looking forward to spending some time with you, but now I must cancel our plans. If you can't respect other people's private space, then you won't be welcome here. I'll take you home." She looked at her lap in shame.

"I'm sorry Edward and Bella. I truly didn't mean to invade you privacy like that." I looked at Edward; he blinked slowly, telling me that she was telling the truth.

"Edward, Jessica asked to speak to me privately. Would it be alright, Garrett, if I rode to her house with you and then Edward could pick me up later?" Garrett nodded and Alice came rushing into the room. She pulled them both to the side and Edward turned to face me.

"Bella, have you forgotten that we have a date tonight? Alice reminded me when she came in to help you get ready."

"Oh, right, I'm sorry Jess, can we talk maybe tomorrow?"

"Sure, give me a call." I nodded and she waved goodbye. I turned to the co-conspirators.

"We have a date tonight?"

"Sure, let's go out. How about a movie?"

"Ok. I want popcorn too."

"Absolutely love. Go get ready, now that she's gone, we can move normally." He hugged me to him. Alice moved to get me.

"Just a minute, why couldn't I go with her?"
