I'm back! Sorry I've been gone so long. I have been majorly busy lately but I promise to post chapters more often now!
Chapter six – Telling the Cullens
Edward and I were sitting in the garden on a big white blanket which he had laid on the spongy grass.
Esme was doing some gardening, since the weather was good, and Carlisle was sitting near her, reading her book.
I was happily munching my way through a few croissants, strawberries (How did Emmett know about my obsession?) and a cool glass of OJ. It was delicious; I'd have to thank him later for that.
Edward and I hadn't said much. He seemed to be lost in his own thoughts, so I didn't disturb him. Instead we just watched Esme work.
Finally I couldn't take it anymore.
"What are you thinking?" I asked.
"Were going to have to tell them today, Bella." He said, turning to me. I wasn't sure if he was answering my question or said this to distract me.
Esme and Carlisle looked over, trying to be subtle.
I sighed. "I know." He kissed my hair.
"Don't be nervous, Bella. Everything will be fine." He whispered, trying to soothe me again.
"I know." I agreed snuggling into his chest. I reached up and kissed just below his jaw. I knew it was his weak spot. He shivered and I grinned.
"Bella!" he groaned. Suddenly I was off the ground and in is arms as he rushed me into the house.
"ThanksforbreakfastEmmettitwasgreat!" I yelled as we zoomed past the living room and up the stairs. His booming laughter drifted up after us.
Edward sat me on the bed in his room.
"Okay, go get dressed." He said grinning wickedly.
"What?" I demanded, pretending to look surprised. "You rushed me up here so I could 'go get dressed'? And I was getting excited." I grinned.
He grinned too. "Oh really?"
"Mmmhmmm." I didn't trust myself to speak.
He laughed softly and climbed on to the bed, hovering over me. He leaned in and pressed his cool lips to mine.
"Bella." He breathed, his voice was low and oh so sexy, before our lips connected again. I kissed him back with all my might, my hands trailing down to the bottom of his shirt. I pulled it up and we broke away so he could get it over his head. I took a much needed gulp of air before his lips crashed to mine once more. I pushed my hands against his perfectly sculpted chest until he was lying down. I crawled on top of him.
"Edward." I whispered, against his marble lips, kissing him again. His hands were on my hips, gently sliding my top up. His cool fingers brushed my skin lightly, making me shiver. My own hands slid down to the waistband of his jeans.
"Whoa! Jasper, come look at this!" Emmett yelled from the door. My head snapped up, my fingers frozen where they were.
"Emmett!" I screamed, lugging a pillow at him and blushing furiously. He grinned goofily, catching it easily.
Edward chuckled from below me.
"Oh you think it's funny do you?" I fumed. "A little warning might have been nice." He shrugged, moving me with him, not a great thing to be doing at this moment in time. "I was distracted."
I grabbed another pillow and pressed it down on his face, in a useless attempt to smother him. He was laughing behind the pillow. Frustrated, I threw it against the wall and crossed my arms.
"What have we here?" Jasper asked in amusement, suddenly appearing beside Emmett, whose body was shaking with silent laughter.
"When I felt all that lust I just figured it was Emmett and Rose." He winked at me and leaned against the doorframe.
I suddenly realised that I was still sitting on Edward, with my top halfway up my torso. I hastily pulled it down and hopped off of him, ungraceful as ever. I stumbled, which just set off another round of giggles from the school girls. I blushed again.
"UGH!" I yelled, stomping past them down the hall and into the bathroom. This just added to their amusement and their laughter echoed down the hall. I slammed the door, muttering to myself.
"Stupid vampire's with no respect for anyone's personal space or privacy." I grumbled as I changed into a pair of jeans and a sweater Alice had left in the drawer for me for days such as this.
When I was decent, I poked me head out the door. Edward was leaning against the wall, looking like a Greek god as usual. All my anger melted away to nothing as soon as he smiled at me and I took his hand like a good little human.
"Aren't you excited?" he asked me. He clearly was, he was all but jumping up and down in anticipation.
"I feel sick." I groaned, holding my stomach.
"Are you really that nervous?" he asked, surprised.
"Not that." I gasped, turning and rushing back into the bathroom.
When I was finished puking my guts up, and Edward had asked me 62 times if I was ok, we finally made our way downstairs.
"Family meeting." Edward called out lightly, as we reached the bottom of the stairs. I shuddered, remembering the dream I had which had taken place right here. Of course everything was in perfect order now.
The whole Cullen clan materialized in front of us. Edward stood behind me, grinning. He put his hands on my shoulders, squeezing them gently. Alice was bouncing up and down on the sofa. Jasper was watching her warily, probably afraid for her sanity.
"Ooh, Im so excited!" she squealed. Everyone looked from her to Edward and me. Emmett just looked impatient. I blushed and looked down.
"Tell them Edward." I said quietly. He kissed the top of my head.
"Bella's pregnant. We're having a baby!" he announced, his voice so full of joy that it made my heart swell with love and happiness. Esme was suddenly hugging me.
"Oh Bella, that's fantastic! Congratulations. The two of you."
"Thanks." I mumbled, blushing again. She let go of me and moved on to hug Edward. (Aw! Edward and Esme hugging!)
Carlisle put an arm around my shoulder. He was grinning from ear to ear.
"I can't believe it Bella! I never thought it was possible. That's why when I came to check on you I didn't see why you were sick. It never occurred to me that you could be pregnant. It must be because you're still human. It's the only explanation. I'm so happy for both of you." He smiled once more and turned to Edward.
Emmett boomed a laugh and pulled me into a bear hug, lifting me off the ground.
"Congrats Bella! You know I'm not surprised. You should have seen these two this morning Rose. Their almost as bad as us."
I blushed scarlet as he set me down. "Emmett." I groaned. Rose smiled timidly at me. Wait. Rose, timid? Something's not right. But I didn't have time to think about it anymore because they moved over and I suddenly had a bouncing Alice and an almost bouncing Jasper in front of me.
"Alice calm down." Jasper complained, grinning.
"I can't Jazzy! I just can't!" Alice squealed. Jasper and I laughed. He ruffled my hair.
"Congratulations Bella." He smiled. Alice suddenly dived on me. I stumbled back I shock, but laughed and hugged her back.
"Alice dear be careful. Bella's more fragile now." Esme warned. I groaned internally. Great. I'm going to be even more of a burden now.
"Oops! Sorry Bella! I'm just so excited!" she laughed.
"This is going to be so cool!" Emmett crowed. "I'm gonna be an uncle! Hey Alice, is it gonna be a boy or a girl?"
We all turned to look at Alice. Edward playfully put his hands over my ears. I pulled them off and he wrapped them around my waist, chuckling.
Alice grinned and closed her eyes in concentration. We waited for an unbearably long time. She frowned suddenly and opened her eyes.
"I…I can't see." She closed her eyes again, her right foot tapped impatiently.
"No. Nothing." She sighed. Jasper wrapped his arms around her and she relaxed under his touch.
"That's ok Alice." I comforted her. "I'd rather wait and see anyway."
She smiled. I closed my eyes for a second and leant into Edward. I felt much better now that the Cullen's knew. When I opened them again, Edward and I were alone. He towed me to the couch and pulled me down next to him. I snuggled into his side. He had a huge grin on his face.
"Feel better love?"
"Much." I mumbled against his neck. He chuckled. We sat in a peaceful silence for a few moments.
"Let's go out." Edward decided suddenly.
"Okay." I agreed, smiling.
"I'll just get my keys." He kissed my head. "I love you Bella." She whispered gently.
"I love you too." I breathed, staring into the melted gold of his eyes. He stroked along my cheek, the turned and jogged up the stairs at human speed. I sighed happily, got up and opened the front door. I walked over to the Volvo and sat lightly on the hood.
I looked around the Cullen's front garden while I waited. You could see into the back from the position.
Suddenly, two figures emerged from the trees at the bottom of the garden.
Dun dun dun! Ooh Cliffie! Hehe Read and Review please! :D:D:D
