An: All Twilight characters belong to Stephenie Meyer. I just get them pregnant.
Chapter 3 – Telling Edward
I woke to an unusually bright morning. I yawned and rolled over, stretching. I felt well rested after all my sleeping yesterday.
Yesterday.
Everything came rushing back to me and I sat up. I looked down at my still-flat tummy. It seemed impossible for something to be growing inside of me. A little human being…if it is human.
I put my hands on my stomach, still not quite believing I was pregnant. Suddenly it let off a low growling sound. I only realized now that I was starving. I hadn't eaten anything all day yesterday.
I hopped out of bed and skipped down the stairs, steadying myself on the last step.
"Alice?" I called.
"In here, Bella." She replied from the kitchen. She was putting scrambled eggs and toast on the table for me as I walked in.
"Charlie just left for work. He said he hopes you feel better." She said smiling.
"Thanks." I said grinning, sitting down and digging in.
"Someone's in a good mood." She noted. "How are you feeling?"
"Okay, I guess." I said shrugging. "Did Edward come over last night?" I asked, slightly worried she might have let it slip through her mind.
"No." she replied, watching me eat. "He only just got back. He will be here in about an hour." She smiled.
"Ok." I said finishing my breakfast. "Hey, Alice…thank you, for everything. And im sorry about last night." I said taking her cool, hard hand in mine.
"Oh Bella, its fine, honestly." She laughed pulling me into a gentle hug. "Now, go have a shower before he gets here. I'll do the dishes." She said brightly, kissing my cheek and giving me a gentle shove towards the door.
I ran up the stairs and into my room. Grabbing my toiletry bag, I headed into the bathroom and turned on the shower.
The water was warm and relaxing. The familiar smell of my shampoo wafted through the air. I sighed, relaxing all my muscles. I was longing to see Edward's face, yet at the same time, I was dreading it. What if he suspects something? What if he guesses?
I have to come to terms, now, with what I will have to do today. I have to tell Edward. Alice is right, he needs to know. He deserves to know. I let just a few more tears escape before sighing and getting out of the shower.
I took my time drying myself and my hair. When I was dressed and dried, I took one long look in the mirror at myself. I don't look any different, so I have no reason to be paranoid. Yet I couldn't get rid of the nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach. I opened the door and padded down the hall to my room.
Edward was standing, staring out of the window, just like yesterday morning. He was sparkling slightly, throwing little rainbows around my room. He turned to face me, glowing somehow, his messy bronze hair like a halo around his head. My own personal angel.
"Hello beautiful." He greeted me softly, smiling a heart-breaking smile. His golden eyes were soft and gentle, butterscotch today after his recent hunting trip.
All the emotions and stress from yesterday came crashing down on me as I looked at his loving face. I ran at him and threw my arms around his neck, crying softly. He wrapped his around me and sat in the rocking chair.
"Shh, Bella. It's ok." He whispered, gently stroking my hair and rocking me back and forth. We sat like that for a while, he continued to whisper comforting words in my ear, until finally the tears stopped and I dried my eyes.
He stared at me intently. I was suddenly very aware of the fact that I was carrying his child.
"What's wrong?" he asked, his liquid gold eyes concerned. I have to lie. I can't do it yet.
"Nothing really. I'm just…I well…I just miss Jake, that's all." I whispered into his chest. It's true. I do miss Jake. After all I hadn't seen him since the wedding, where he had stood by my side as my best man. I hadn't thought he would show up. He had been missing for weeks before hand.
He believed me.
"I'm sorry." He whispered. For what? I have no idea. "Perhaps its time you should go and him." he allowed, but I could sense the sacrifice in his voice.
"No I'm fine, really." I promised, kissing his cheek. "I love you." I whispered.
"And I, you." He said kissing my head and pulling me closer, if possible.
"Alice said you were feeling better. Would you like to go to the meadow?" he asked, grinning.
"You bet." I said, jumping up. But he picked me up again and flew down the stairs. I giggled.
I locked the front door while he opened the passenger door of the Volvo for me.
I got in, breathing deeply. His scent filled the air and it calmed me somehow. I relaxed against the seat as he got in beside me and started the engine. Soft jazz filled the car, breaking the silence.
"Are you certain you're okay today?" he asked after a few minutes, taking my hand. I nodded my head and smiled what I hoped was a reassuring smile.
We arrived at the trail not long after, and Edward ran the rest of the way with me on his back.
We were lying in the centre of the meadow now. Well he was lying, I was feeling to tense so I was just sitting, watching him. Just like the fist day he brought me here. I thought.
I have to do it now, or else it will be too hard. Just get it over and done with Bella! I ordered myself. Just do it!
"Edward?" I asked. My voice was barely audible.
"Hmmm?" he murmured, not opening his eyes.
"I need to tell you something." I whispered. His eyes flashed open and he sat up.
"Okay, what is it?" he asked gently.
I didn't reply. I fiddled with my hands, trying to muster up the courage to tell him. He put a finger under my chin and tilted my head up, so I was forced to look at him.
"Tell me." He breathed, scattering my concentration. I gazed into his eyes. Big mistake. I immediately got lost in them. He was waiting for me to talk. Do it Bella! I urged myself.
"Im pregnant." I blurted out. My eyes began to sting. The tears were coming again. I could feel it.
"Oh." He said, shocked. His hand dropped from my face and landed in his lap. I dropped my head, staring at a blade of grass that was quivering in the wind.
"You're pregnant?" he questioned, like he had heard me wrong. I couldn't bare to look up at him, to see his face. The tears began to spill.
"Yes" I whispered. The tears were flowing relentlessly now. He hates me. He doesn't want a baby. Why should he? Why should he want me at all?-
"Jacob?" he asked, interrupting me thoughts. His voice sounded strangled, very unlike Edward.
I was confused.
"What?" I asked, perplexed. I tried to wipe away the tears, as if that would stop them coming, but I was failing miserably.
"Is it Jacob's? The baby, I mean. Is that why you were upset this morning? Is that why you miss him? Do you want him?" his voice was blank now, and I knew he was trying to hide whatever he was feeling.
"Edward. Edward stop!" I ordered. He obeyed. I had to look up at him now. His face was hurt, broken even, though he was trying to hide it.
Now I was really confused. How could he question how much I love him? How could he think I would do something like that to him? The most beautiful, trusting, loving, caring, person in the world. My Saviour. My angel.
"Edward, I love you. I have never been with anyone else but you, and definitely not in that way. Edward, the baby….it's…it's yours Edward." I stammered, trying to clear it up for him.
"You're pregnant." He repeated. Now you've done it Bella. You've gone and completely killed his brain.
I was not prepared for what happened next.
Edward suddenly broke into the most glorious smile in the history of the world.
"Were having a baby!" he yelled, picking me up and spinning me around.
Wait. He's happy? He does love me? He wants this to happen? Relief flooded through me, making me dizzy.
Suddenly I felt his cold, smooth, marble lips on mine, moving urgently, happily. I kissed him back with all my might until I began to get light-headed. He broke away laughing.
"Bella, I can't believe it! I didn't think it was possible! Carlisle said it wasn't possible! I just can't believe it!" he sat us down; he was glowing with some emotion I couldn't recognise.
I shook my head in disbelief. He really wants me. He really wants a baby. I realized then that I was ecstatic. We were having a baby together!
"I was so scared to tell you. I was afraid of what you would think." I whispered, hugging him tight. He wrapped his arms around me, like he never wanted to let go.
"Don't ever be afraid of me." He whispered.
Well! Exiting stuff aye? laughs ok review and tell me what you think!
