Come Saturday morning, my house was turned into a chaotic mess.
Dax and Jane showed up at the ass crack of dawn bringing along with them a large, hefty, and deliciously awesome breakfast platter from Denny's.
Leah and Jacob showed up upon learning about the accident, worried and expecting the worst. Once they saw for themselves that I was alright, and stopped fawning over me, they finally sat down and joined us.
They were only too happy to keep me company while Edward, Emmett, and Rose left to pick up his parents.
Not allowing me to clean anything or do any type of house work.
So, here we were. Me, anxiously awaiting their long awaited arrival as we sat down in the living room, and Jane happily snuggling Pinky in her arms.
"Bella, you're going to have to calm down… this can't be good for you or the baby. Think of the baby, B..." Jacob said, eyeing my tapping fingers on the lamp table.
Easy for him to say. He's already married and has three kids.
Truth is, I don't know why I am so nervous or agitated, could be because I don't like having things done for me. I don't want to be on any type of rest. I'm not used to it.
On top of that, I haven't been able to clean my house since last week, and that is bothering me.
I just hoped Memaw didn't judge me too harshly.
"Dax, can you help me get to my room? I need a nap, and the bed down here is sort of uncomfortable…" I explained.
He nodded in response, before slowly walking over to me, and lifting me up, then slowly making his way up the stairs and into my room.
"Do you need anything else before I go back down stairs?" He asked as I pulled the fleece blanket over me and relaxed deeper into the bed.
"No, I'm fine. Thanks, bro." I sighed.
"I'll be back to check on you in twenty minutes." He says, as he walks out and closes the door behind himself.
I sigh, and grab a big fluffy pillow and tossing one of my legs over it, before sighing and closing my eyes.
"Bella, love..."
Whoever is bothering my nap time is about to get kicked in the groin.
"Hm?" I muttered trying to go back to my dream of fluff waffles and bacon.
"Bella, sweetheart, wake up… my parents are here..."
Oh god, they're here?!
I sigh, before opening my eyes.
"What time is it?" I asked, sleepily.
I watch as Edward leans back and checks his watch before his eyes flickered back up to me.
"Just a quarter past noon." He says.
I nod, before crawling off the bed, and heading to get dressed. Huffing as I looked for something to wear.
Yes, I am wearing shorts and one of Edward's shirts, and my hair in a knot. No, I can't keep it on, especially if all my family is here.
I sigh, as I finally decide on a white t-shirt, anda striped, white and gray, shin length, maxi dress over it, and my white vans to finish the look.
I slowly grabbed my underwear, and a towel before walking towards the bathroom to shower. Leaving the shoes and socks on the chair outside of the bathroom.
All the while Edward sat on the bed, playing with all the pillows I had on there.
I showered quickly, before getting out and drying myself. Once dry, I slowly put my underwear on, before I blow dried my hair and curled the ends, pinning a few pieces away from my face.
Once my hair was done, I pulled the cotton shirt on, and then the dress, before putting on a light layer of concealer, eyeliner mascara, and a nude lip matte.
When I walked out, Edward had changed his shirt to the Future Daddy shirt I bought him, revealing all his tattoos on his arms, and styled his hair nicely, also applying a thin layer of cologne, which I could smell from where I stood.
Funnily enough, I now had the nose of a bloodhound, and could smell him from another room. What isn't funny is that I can also smell whenever Rose tries to cook.
As I finish tying my shoes, Edward noticed I finished getting dressed, and slowly walks towards me.
"You look gorgeous." He says, smiling down at me, before kissing my lips.
As I am dazed he slowly turns me around and places something on me.
A necklace, I then realize. "What is this?" I ask, surprised.
"It's a 'just because' gift." He whispers, as he lifts me into his arms before making his way down the stairs and out into the backyard.
When we finally reach the yard, he places me down on one of the yard swings, Emmett and he bought for us to sit in.
"Where is everyone?" I asked him, in a quiet voice.
"Your brother and Jane are giving them a tour of the fields." He says, as he sits next to me, and pulls my feet on his lap.
"Why didn't you go with them?" I asked, as he swung us slowly back and forth.
"I wanted to see you." He replied, in a content tone.
I smile at him, before looking around us.
I then realize that someone fixed the yard up. Putting up a large, opened, party tent with a mosquito net around it, and fixing it up with Fourth of july decorations.
At least six rectangular tables are set with chairs, leaving three with the food, and another with the desserts.
Well, raw burgers and hot dogs and all the buns and topping on there as well.
"Holy shit, who the hell did this?" I asked, surprised.
"Oh, um. Rose, Jane, Leah, and your grandmothers, I believe." He replied, amused.
"Fuck, I can't believe I slept through all of this… my Memaw is going to kill me…" I muttered, eyeing the juicy-looking watermelon.
"Don't worry, Rose told them you were still pretty tired from the accident the other day… they understood. Oh look, here they come now…" he says, patting my legs.
We both turn to the sound of footsteps approaching.
I see Dax and Jane leading Emmett, Rose, and another couple towards us. I notice they're both wearing arm slings, and have a walking boot on one foot.
Edward's parents are nothing like I imagined them to be. They look young, just like my mom and dad, with only a few white hairs sprinkled here and there across their hair. I wouldn't believe they were his parents if it weren't for the fact that Edward and Emmett have her uncanny facial features.
Carlisle looks like he is their father, and if I had been a stranger and not known all of their history, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
As their eyes fall on us, Esme's already wide smile, widens even more.
"Oh! You must be Isabella! I'm Esme, Emmett and Edward's mother." She says, as they reach the tent.
I notice she is wearing a turquoise blue ombre skirt, and a white and yellow polka dotted cotton blouse, and a yellow van on her uninjured foot.
While Carlisle is in jeans, and a simple navy blue polo, with a black and white converse on his uninjured foot.
"Nice to finally meet you, Mrs. Cullen. It's Bella, by the way." I say, dropping my feet to the ground and standing up to greet her.
"Oh, sweetheart, call me Esme. Mrs. Cullen is my mother-in-law." She jokes.
I nod, as she suddenly pulls me into a hug, surprising the shit out of me.
"Mom! Be careful! Bella isin a delicate state, right now." Edward revealed, pulling me away from her, and looking at me worried.
"Edward, I'm fine. It's alright, I swear. See? We're both perfectly fine." I sooth, smiling at him.
"How far along are you?" Carlisle asks, concerned.
"Oh, I'm twelve and a half weeks." I reply, looking down at the slight bump that had already formed in my stomach.
"Bella is pregnant?" Someone gasped behind us.
Well, that wasn't how I wanted my family to find out, well what can you do now, not everything goes as planned.
