A/N: Ok, well, I decided to get straight into the third chapter once I posted the second, and this chapter is really long compared to my previous chapter. Sorry about that. By the way, this chapter is fairly uneventful, so sorry about that too.

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of its characters, blah blah blah, and so on and so forth.

Chapter Three-All The Small Things

Bella's POV

Ever since the school nurse guessed about the baby, I couldn't go back. Especially after I found out that the particular nurse was good friends with Lauren's mother.

I kept getting phone calls from Jessica, but they always went to the answering machine. Finally I gave in and answered.

"Bella! Oh Bella! Lauren told us everything! Are you okay? Are you coming back to school before you have the baby? Will you put it up for adoption? Have you told Charlie? Or Renee? Oh my gosh there is so much to talk about! Is he breaking up with you? Will you get married? Oh"! She squealed.

This was the exact reason I had avoiding calling her back or picking up the phone. "Ok, to answer your questions, no, no, no, no, no, and for the last one I hope so", I sighed.

"Why didn't you tell me"! Jessica cried. "Jess, do I have to tell you everything"? I gave an exasperated sigh. "Uh, let me think about this for a moment, uh, yes"! She screamed, but not angrily.

I frowned. "Who else knows"? I asked hesitantly. I was afraid of the answer. "Are there a lot"? I guessed. Jessica obviously sensed my worries. "Um, define 'a lot'"? She said. "Jess, please don't tell anyone else", I pleaded. "Ok, ok", she hushed me.

"But honestly! I knew you and Edward were close, but I didn't realise you wanted to have a family together"! She added in a bubbly voice. "Jess…", I trailed off, not knowing what to say. Edward answered for me.

"Jessica, you have to be the stupidest, most air headed idiot I have ever met! Don't you have any sympathy"! He thundered and slammed the phone down with such force it broke, also shattering the little glass stand the phone had been sitting on.

I let out a small cry, and Edward instantly wrapped his icy arms around me. "I'm sorry", he said into my hair. I pulled back and looked up at the pained expression on his face. Then sudden his eyes lit up.

"You know, with this whole baby thing, I think you're going to need some new clothes, and because I'm going to be away for a while…", he gave a mischievous grin. He always knew how to cheer me up. But I was still upset.

"You're going away again"? I pulled a face and pretended to sulk. Edward chuckled and ruffled my hair. "I can't take any chances, you know that. Especially now that there is someone else to look out for". Edward smiled and touched my stomach. He was even more careful around me now.

He rarely ever touched my stomach. I knew he would never forgive himself if something ever happened to the baby or me. So I sighed and kissed his cheek. "I suppose I better go and get ready", I hurried up to the bathroom with a fresh set of clothes. I stood in the shower and washed my hair, taking my time.

After about half an hour, I stumbled out and put my fresh clothes on. A light floral sundress. It had light purple flowers on it, and I put a purple flower hairclip that matched the dress just behind my ear. Edward was right, I noticed as I bounded down the stairs. I needed knew clothes, the dress was getting a bit tight.

"Lovely", he commented when I got to the door. We went out to his car, and he bowed and opened it for me. "If I may, Madame", he said in his best accent. "You're such a dork", I rolled my eyes and jumped in. Edward laughed and got in the driver's side of the car. "That's why you love me", he replied.

When we pulled up at his house Alice came gliding out. "Good, I knew you would come"! She beamed. I groaned. "Don't leave me alone with her"! I pleaded in a teasing tone. But Edward just smirked and sped off. "Hey"! I shouted at the car. I knew he had heard me.

"Oh, stop fussing over Mr. Insensitive over there. You're having a baby"! She was giddy with joy. "Another reason to take me shopping", I muttered. But suddenly I had a thought. "Hey, wait…", I gasped. I stared at her. "You! You knew this was going to happen"! I accused. Alice looked sheepish.

"Yes", she admitted in a small voice. "What else have you seen"? I demanded. Alice looked up at me in surprise. A grin slowly spread across her face. I gasped again. "No", I said in awe. "You didn't", I narrowed my eyes. "Yes, I did", Alice smirked.

"Are you going to tell me"? I laughed. "Of course not. You'll have to wait like everyone else", Alice stated matter-of-factly. "But it'll be easier to pick names if I know if it is a boy or a girl"! I whined.

"Do you think I care"? Alice chuckled. I gave up. "Fine", I said grumpily. "Now, let's get going. You need new clothes", she frowned when she saw my slightly tighter dress. "Jeez, what's the hurry"? I mumbled. But Alice ignored me and helped me into the car. She would have shoved me if it wasn't for the baby.

I was delicate. She knew that. They all did. "So what are we looking for, today exactly"? I asked. Even though I had a good idea. Clothes, of course. Maternity no doubt. "Everything. Maternity clothes, cradles, baby stuff. You know", Alice shrugged.

"Oh", I was surprised, I'll admit. Alice started the car and drove in the directions the shops were. "Anything else you saw in your vision"? I asked her casually. Alice turned and gave me an 'as-if-I'm-going-to-tell-you' kind of look.

I folded my arms and stared out the window. "We're here"? I realised. "Duh", Alice giggled. "Hurry up slow poke", she giggled again and poked me.

So we went into the shops and looked around for a few hours. We bought a few dresses and shirts, and some baby dummies and clothes for fun. Alice made me get white, because it was a "boys and girls colour" as she put it.

We sat down for lunch and had some hot chips before Alice dropped me back off at home. When we pulled up, she frowned. "Where is Charlie"? She asked. "He went on a fishing trip with Billy Black and Jacob", I said. "I'll see you later, Alice, okay"? I jumped out of the car and waved goodbye.

I ran up the steps to the house with my bags of gear, but remembered that Edward had gone hunting. There was nothing better to do, so I went to listen to music in my room. A little note and a small box was on my bed, and I smiled when I saw who it was from.

In his perfect handwriting, it read:

I haven't even left yet and already I miss you. I should be home by tomorrow, because I'm not going too far into the woodsI shall see you soon, I promise. I left you a present to occupy the time while I am gone. I think it will prove us helpfully. I hope Alice didn't wear you out too much. All my love,

Edward

I smiled and quickly opened the present. I laughed. It was a baby name book, but there was a little label that someone, pointedly Edward, had stuck on. Including the little label, it read, 'Your Big Baby Vampire Name Book'.

I began reading through the names. I flipped through and found some girls names that I liked, for example Becky, Hanna, Olivia. But I was looking more for names that I think Edward would have liked. I looked at boy's names too, but I preferred reading the girl names for some reason.

But I slowly put the book down, the day's activities slowly creeping up on me. I drifted off into a dreamless sleep.

Slowly my eyes opened. I groaned when the light practically blinded me. I realised I wasn't on my bed, and I could hear birds chirping and the sound of a creek. And another sound. A much more beautiful sound. The sound of my personal angel, sent straight from heaven for me. "Good morning", Edward kissed me very lightly, and I wish I had been more awake to enjoy it.

"It is, isn't it"? I sighed, a smile forming on my lips. The warm sun was beating down on my face, and I knew it was a beautiful sunny day. But I didn't care about the weather, as long as I was with Edward.

I felt his cold hand on my cheek, and I sat up, looking around. A picnic was set out in the middle of…the meadow. So that's where I was! There was a blanket laid out, with a basket, and of course the baby name book. I laughed.

"So, any ideas for names yet"? Edward gave me my favourite crooked smile, and I fell back in the grass and flowers again, smiling.

Time jump-a few months later.

Edward's POV

I knew how hard this was for Bella. But I had managed to convince her that now was the right time. I held her hand as she dialled her mother's number. "Hello, mum"? She asked. Her eyes were pained. I gave her a reassuring smile.

"Oh, Phil, hi".

Pause.

"No I'm fine.

Pause.

"Yes I'm sure. Can I talk to mum please"?

Damn these pauses! I wish I knew what was happening.

"Thankyou", Bella said politely. She bit her lip suddenly. "Hi mum", I could tell she was trying to sound confident, but it came out in a whisper.

"No mum, I haven't changed my mind about Forks".

Pause.

"Of course I want to stay"!

Pause.

"Mum"! She said firmly. "I have to tell you something"!

Pause.

"Mum, I'm…mum, this is so hard…but I'm, I'm…pregnant"!
