I'm so ready to be out of the meeting. I've been so worried about Bella, she hasn't been feeling good and I don't know what's wrong. I hate not being able to protect her or make her better.

She sent me a text that she's feeling better and just got to the office. Now if this meeting would be over I can go see her.

When I finally get back to my office I told Angela that Bella should be up here soon. She just smiles and gives me that look.

In my office I get tied up on a conference call. After I'm off the phone Angela pops her head in my office, "I just wanted to tell you that Bella went home. She came up here to get lunch but still wasn't feeling good so I convinced her to go home and rest."

"Thanks Angela." I'm glad she went home if she still isn't feeling good, but I wish she would have at least come to say goodbye since she was right outside of my office.

I send her a text asking her to call me, but don't hear back right away. It's ok, I'm sure she's just driving and can't text.

A couple of hours later I still haven't heard from her, I'm starting to worry. I've called and sent a few texts but decide to call one more time before I just head to her house.

After 3 rings she finally answers, only it's not her voice. "Hey Edward, it's Rose."

"What are you doing with Bella's phone and where is she? I'm starting to worry about her."

"Don't worry, I ran into her at Walgreen's and could tell she didn't feel good. I brought her here to my house to rest, so if she needed anything I could help her. The kids are at your parents so I was bored anyways."

"Ok, well just have her call me when she gets up. Oh and tell her to go to my place when she wakes up. I don't want her to be alone tonight."

"Yea I think that's a good idea." I don't know what that meant, but my sister in law could be strange sometimes.

…

I make sure to get out of the office a little before 5 and head straight home. I'm so relieved to see her car in the garage.

Walking into the condo I start to look for her, I find her sitting on the couch. She looks like she's been crying. "Hey come have a seat, there's something I need to tell you."

My stomach drops, she's finally realized that we've been moving too fast. She doesn't want to put up with a workaholic and knows she deserves more. I've been so anxious all day not being able to get in touch with her. I know I should have pushed back that meeting this morning and stayed to take care of her.

I lean down and kiss her forehead before I sit down next to her, trying my hardest to keep my voice steady. "What's up baby?"

"I have something to tell you, just please promise me you won't get mad."

I knew it, here comes the it's not you it's me. "I won't get mad, anything to make you happy." Ok, that was too much, anything to make you happy really Edward come on.

I see her eyes fill with tears, on no, this is serious. "It's ok baby, tell me what's bothering you." I pull her into a hug.

"I'mpregnant" I can barely hear what she said. "What was that baby?"

She sits up and looks at my, I wipe away her tears. "I'm pregnant." It takes me a second to comprehend what she just said. "I'm so sorry Edward, I promise I didn't do this on purpose to trap you. I didn't realized I needed to use a different kind of birth control for the first month. I'm so so sorry."

After her confession she breaks down and starts crying so hard. It's enough to shake me out of my stupor, I grab her and pull her on to my lap and just hold her tight. This just makes her cry harder.

"It's ok baby, I'm not mad." I don't know what I feel but I know I'm not mad. Kids have been something I wanted for years, I just never thought this is how I would get them. I always thought I would be married and we would be together when she found out.

"Hey, quit crying, it's going to be ok." Finally after all of her tears are gone she stops crying. She's still clinging to me, I want her close so it's ok.

I grab her chin and nudge her to look up. Once I have her eyes I can see how scared she is. "Are you ok? I don't want you to get too upset, it can't be good for the baby."

"I just found out I'm pregnant and already screwing up this baby." She starts to cry again.

I don't know what that was all about, but I'm sure it has to do with her mother. She's told me a little about her childhood and how her mom pretty much abandoned her in high school.

"You aren't screwing up this baby, love. You're going to be a great mom." She snickers, "Yea, cause I had such a great example."

"Exactly, you learned everything you don't want to do with our baby." Oh the sound of that, our baby.

"You don't seem mad, I thought you be furious and hate me."

"Why in the world would I hate you my beautiful baby?" I'm so confused, I don't know why she would think that.

"I didn't want you to think that I purposely got pregnant to try and trap you. That night we were talking about the future and you said you wanted to be married and then have kids, I just got scared you would hate me and not want anything to do with me."

"That could never happen." I wanted to do this a little more romantically but I think she needs to hear it. "I could never hate you, because I love you Isabella. My life has changed so much in the short time I've known you, and I couldn't be happier."

I jerk my head up, I know I didn't hear what I think I did. There's no way he could love me. I know I've felt that way for a while, just scared to admit it to even myself.

Looking into his eyes I can see his soul, I know he's not lying. All I can do is grab his face and give him a big kiss. "I love you too Edward. I never thought you would feel this way for me too."

"I've loved you since that night in Twilight when I first looked in your beautiful brown eyes."

Our confessions distracted me from the matter at hand. "So are you sure you're ok with having a baby with me?"

"I couldn't think of anyone I would rather have a baby with. I hope he or she gets your smile."

Oh he melts my heart. "I love you so much!" Now that we've said it, I just want to keep saying it.

He laughs, "I love you so much too!"

We start kissing, this leads to us naked on the floor.

"That was definitely love making" he jokes. I just roll into him even more. I love burrowing up under him. I'm definitely a cuddler.

"We should probably get off the floor, I don't want you and the baby to be uncomfortable." He really is the sweetest man alive.

…

We're sitting at the table eating dinner, I finally have somewhat of an appetite. "I need to make an appointment to go to the Dr. Did you want to come, I mean don't feel like you have to, I just wanted you to know you could" I asked and then felt bad for putting him on the spot.

"Stop rambling baby, I plan on being there every step of the way." He smiles at me.

"How did I get so lucky?" I ask him. "I've been asking myself the same thing."

…..

Luckily I didn't get sick this morning, I've felt nauseous but didn't actually get sick. We get ready for work and leave the condo together. I love riding with Edward, he just always seems so in control.

"Are you going to call today and get a Dr. appointment?" he asks.

"Yea, I figured once I got to the office I would call. Hopefully they're open by then. Do you have a preference as far as day or time?"

"I have meetings sporadically over the next week. Just get an appointment when you can and I'll be there."

"I love you." I'll never get tired of saying that. We're stopped at a light so I lean over and give him a kiss.

I can't get the smile off of my face the rest of the ride to the office, or up the elevator, or as I get settled into my office. Once I have everything situated I call my Dr. office. Luckily they have an opening later today so I snag it.

I call Edward to let him know, he says that works perfect and he'll come down and get me at 4 so we can leave.

After that my day flies by, Lauren picked up lunch for several people on the floor so I didn't have to worry about going out. I didn't even realize how late it was until Edward knocked on my door.

"You ready to go baby?"

"Yea, just let me close out of my computer."

We walked hand in hand all the way down to the garage, where he opened my door and helped me in the car. "I really hope this is you being a gentleman and not you already being super overprotective."

He got a sheepish look on his face, "Can't I be the gentleman Esme raised me to be?"

"Of course you can, as long as that's it" I smiled to show him I was kidding, well kind of kidding.

We get to the Dr.'s office and walk up to the counter to sign in. "Are you scared someone will see you and alert the media? The women of Chicago aren't going to know what to do when they learn you're off the market and going to be a daddy."

He laughs, "I want to shout it from the rooftops, I'm so excited that I have you and can't wait to be a father."

"Isabella Swan" the nursed call, so we got up and went back. "Put on this gown and have a seat, Dr. Green will be here shortly."

"What if the test was wrong, what if I'm not really pregnant?"

"Whatever happens it's ok. I'll be here no matter what."

"I've been scared to death thinking I'm pregnant, I'm going to be kind of sad if I'm not."

Before he could respond Dr. Green walks in, "I didn't think I would see you back so soon."

"I know, I forgot that thing you said about using condoms." I said sheepishly.

"You'd be surprised how often I hear that" she laughs. "We're going to draw some blood and we'll call you in about an hour for the results."

"Oh we don't find out right now?" Edward sounded bummed.

"Unfortunately not, but it should be just about an hour or so. Based on your last missed period you are about 4 to 5 weeks along. If the test comes back positive we can schedule you for an ultrasound around 8 weeks."

"Ok, thanks."

She did her exam and then the nurse came back in to draw blood. After that I was able to get redressed and we left. We decided to go back to Edward's place and wait for the call.

Just over an hour later I heard my phone ring, looking down I saw it was from Dr. Green's office.

"Hello"

"Hi, is this Isabella?"

"Yes, do you have the results?"

"I do, congratulations mom."

"Oh my gosh! Thank you for calling."

"Of course, and you went ahead and scheduled your next appointment when you were here didn't you?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Great, we'll see you then."

I hung up and looked over at Edward, my smile already hurting my face.

"By your big smile, I'm guessing the blood test was positive?"

"Yes! We're going to be parents. Oh my gosh, we're going to be parents."

He just laughed and whispered in my ear, "I can't wait."

Sorry this was kind of short, I've been super busy and I'm about to go out of town. I wanted to make sure I posted a chapter before I left.

Please review!
