I had a lot of trouble, but chapters 1 to 3 are all up. No double postings :)

Chapter 3
"Would you all like to sit down?" Bella asked politely. "I've got a lot to explain."
"Yes," Carlisle said absently. "Yes you do."
I heard some soft tapping and when I looked up a girl was sitting at the piano playing a duet with the boy. It must have been Alice. She was just as ghostlike as everyone else. Her hair was the same mahogany color as Bella's.
After we all sat down Bella took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry I took over your house." It came out rushed and embarrassed. "The thing is I don't know where to begin," she mumbled softly.
"Start with when we left," Alice suggested. She was still wondering about ghost Alice at the piano.
"Well, after you left I notice a few things which were… off," she said making eye contact. She was clearly hoping we'd know what she meant. But when we continued to stare blankly she continued, "With my body," she finished in a rush.
"What was off?" Carlisle asked. In his mind he was listing illnesses and diseases that Bella could have died from.
"My period was late," she said again she was hoping we'd clue in. When we continued to stare blankly she said, "There was a bump?"
We all continued to stare.
"Pregnancy!" roared an infuriated voice from somewhere in the house. We all jumped.
We heard a noise that sounded like a smack followed by, "Henri Thomas! I thought I told you to give them some privacy!" The voice belonged to Catherine.
"Wh-wh-what did he mean?" Rosalie asked shakily. We all knew how much she wanted a child badly.
Bella turned to look at me and said hopefully, "Edward?"
"I-I still don't understand," I had no idea how this was possible.
"So you died of child birth a month after we left?" Carlisle said but it came out more like a question.
"Well that's just impossible," Rosalie said. "There's no proof of it!"
A soft cough came from the piano. We all whipped around to see the to ghosts. Ghost Alice waved a little. The boy looked curiously at us.
What the?
How is this possible?
In a month? This is insane!
Who on Earth could the father be?
We would have notice if she were pregnant! Wouldn't we?
How could I have not seen this?
The last thought came from Alice. I wondered how she could not have seen it too.
"How?" was all Carlisle managed to gasp out.
"Well," she began "… EdwardandIslepttogether. They're his…" Bella managed to say it all in breath.
"What?" Emmett asked. I had barely noticed him at all he'd been so quiet.
"Did I hear you right?" Alice gasped out.
"Depends on what you heard," Bella said nervously.
Alice stood up and started pacing. "But that's impossible! We can't reproduce!" she said.
"Alice what are you talking about?" Jasper demanded. He was clearly shocked.
"But how are they dead? I mean, I understand your death. Just not them," Alice demanded.
"Victoria can be quite thorough," Bella said flatly.
"I'm so sorry," Alice, said softly.
"What are you guys talking about?" Emmett asked.
"I'm not sure how to explain," Bella said nervously.
Suddenly Alice turned on me smacked me on the back of my head.
"Ow! What was that for?" I asked shocked.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Alice demanded.
"Tell you what? I have no idea what you're talking about!" I snapped.
Alice took a deep breath and said, "You got Bella pregnant!"
"What!"
"That's impossible!"
"How could you have left?"
"I don't understand!"
"We can't reproduce!"
"That's impossible!" I managed to gasp out. "I don't understand. We can't!"
"I guess we can," Carlisle mused.
"So they're my children?" I asked.
Bella looked at me intently and said, "Yes."
