A/N: OMG you guys! You are the best readers EVER! I personally didn't think story was going to get such a great response out of you guys, but thank you so much! Just to let you fabulous people know, my reviews will be always in the afternoon, early evening since I have school during the day and with excessive amounts of hw, I will try my best to keep this going at a steady pace. I wasn't going to update again tonight but because of the responses I got, here you go. I wrote this out and it just flowed through my fingers and onto the keys so... Thanks again for all the support! On with the read...
Chapter 4
EPOV (Yes, of course! Edward! How could I not put this in?!)
The place where I was staying was just... how can I say this... sucky. It's hot and damp, sticky and jam packed with people. Being in the middle of nowhere with people I barely know is bad. I'd much rather be sitting on the couch with my Bella, watching a movie and eating popcorn then here, but hey... at least I'm keeping her safe. I completely trust Rose and my mother to take care of her. My only concerns are Alice and Emmett. I have no idea what pranks my big boulder of a brother could be pulling on my beautiful, stunning wonderful wife. Also, I don't want to know what kind of torture Alice may be getting away with. Even though she knows that my wife hates shopping and makeovers she insists... it's like I married a life sized Barbie.
"Edward Cullen!"
"Yes sir?" I replied standing up.
"Mail." The boy, who looked a little younger then myself answered. "Oh, and please, call me Jake." I quickly grabbed my letter and was surprised at how thick it was. I had been gone fore 2 and a half months and I had gotten at least 2 letters from everyone but Bella. I understand how this could be hard for her, but the least she could do was write.
Dear father to be,
I stopped right there and re-read Bella's opening sentence... father to be... is she?
I'm sorry I haven't written in a while, but life around here has been hectic. With the school taking on kids from La Push because of some fires, I've been extremely busy because I have about 35 kids in my class alone. Trust me, 35 8 year old kids in one room with each other isn't what it's cracked up to be. I've been with the family a lot over the past weeks just enjoying spending time with them and preparing for the holidays. They're only five months away so I need to be prepared; D (I know, I know... it's early but I can't help but get into the Christmas spirit!!) Tyler is growing fast and is looking a lot like Emmett. He's adorable, the way he acts like him. He is a combination of both, bringing out the good in each. (P.S. he's a two year only prankster) Esme and Carlisle miss you tons which is only causing them to love you more and more each day. Alice is going crazy with wedding plans and insists on getting married during the winter in the middle of January since that is when Jasper and he met 'so many years ago'. Life in the small town of Forks is the same. Rainy and green, but I love it all the same. Oh! Did I mention that Alice's boutique is making lots of money in Port angels and she is considering opening another shop in Seattle to gain more business. We've got to keep our eyes on this one, she's going to become famous I tell you.
Now onto bigger news, about the opening line... I'm pregnant! I know it's a shock and I'm sorry that I haven't told you sooner, but personally I needed to get used to the idea of becoming a mother of 2 myself. Even though it is early, Carlisle said that there e indeed two in there and that they are developing quite nicely. Anyways, I found out when I was 8 weeks along and I passed out (not because of shock, but because I was dehydrated because I couldn't keep anything down... stupid morning sickness!) I can go on for hours and hours on end about my life right now, but I'm going to be cutting it short. I have a baby bump right now and I am going to be going to Carlisle and Esme's for my birthday in two weeks... ugh another year older BLAH! I've got to go now, my class is coming back from lunch and I will talk to you later.
Love Always and Forever,
Mrs. Edward Cullen (Bella) 3
P.S- I will be sending you pictures of myself and the kids as the pregnancy goes on. I cannot wait to here from you! (The latest pictures are in the back of this envelope!)
"Hey um dude, you're um... kind of crying. You okay?"
"Oh! Yeah... everything's... fine. Just some unexpected news from home. No big deal." I whispered wiping my face with the back of my hand. Sure enough there was a wetness coming back with it.
"You um... you want to talk about it? I'm here if you want to talk." Jake stated firmly.
"No, I'm good. Don't want to get you in any trouble. Thanks."
"Okay..."
"Edward. Edward Cullen. Nice to meet you..."
"Jacob Black. Talk to you later." He replied, walking out my quarters. I thought for a second.
"Hey, Jake?!" I yelled after him.
"Yeah?"
"You got a second?"
I told Jacob the long story short and he really didn't have anything to say. I don't blame him; I wouldn't want him to deal with this as much as I didn't. At least I knew I could trust someone with my secrets for now. I'm going to need a friend when this gets harder and harder to deal with.
"O... your wife is back home is Washington, pregnant with twins while you're here in the middle of nowhere? Man... I'm sorry dude. I-I don't know what to say!"
"It's fine, I don't need sympathy." It was my entire fault that I was leaving Bella to deal with the pregnancy all alone, dealing with the pain, the cravings, and the shopping with Alice. At least I would have been able to prevent one of those things... the pain. I could help her with that... the craving would obviously come no matter what and there is no stopping Alice.
"Hey, where you from in Washington? My family lives in La Push, my sister works at the local school there. Apparently, it just burned down and their working in forks along with them teachers. She teaches 3rd grade there."
"Are you kidding me?!" I laughed, "I'm from Forks, and my wife Bella teaches 3rd grade at the Forks elementary school."
"Wait... Bella as in, Isabella Cullen?"
"Yea that's her."
"Hahaha. I just got a letter from my sister Rachel and she said she's working with a woman names Isabella Cullen. Wow, small world isn't it. My dad actually used to be good friends with Charlie before their fight." Jacob replied. I've heard from Charlie about his ex- best bud Billy, but never thought to out the connection together... there were so many Blacks out there. It really is a small world.
5 almost 6 pages guys... hope you enjoyed. I'll post again tomorrow! Thanks! ;)
