~Three Years Later~
"Edward," I growled out frustrated. This was getting old, fast. He emerged from the bathroom with that crooked smile. All my frustration dissipated when I saw his dress shirt open and his tie hanging around neck.
"Yes, Love?" he asked. I quickly glared at him. He knew what was wrong. I could not get this stupid dress zipped in the back. My stomach was literally growing by the second. At least that's how I felt. Edward came behind me and zipped the maternity dress I wore. He smoothed a hand over my giant baby bump and smiled sweetly.
"Are you sure you feel up to tonight?" he asked concerned. I nodded despite my true feelings. I was bloated and tired and the baby felt like it was ready to come out any moment but I knew today was special. It was today, years ago, that we had met on that cruise. We celebrated it every year, per Alice's request and planning. I wasn't going to miss this year because I was pregnant. Edward rubbed my stomach once more before heading to the bathroom to finish dressing.
I sighed as I looked in the mirror. The blue silk clung to my skin and hugged my belly. I curled my hair and let it hang loose around my face. I even applied a little bit of makeup, mainly because I wasn't sleeping well lately being nine months pregnant and all.
"Are you ready, Bella?" Edward asked. I nodded and he helped me to the door. Being pregnant had, if at all possible, made me clumsier. I smiled at him in thanks as we made it out of our apartment and to the car. We arrived quickly at the restaurant.
"Look at you!" Alice cried as we approached our table. I laughed.
"Alice, you just saw me yesterday," I reminded her as we hugged.
"I know," she giggled. "But I swear you look bigger."
"I feel bigger," I muttered as I hugged Jasper. He laughed.
"You look fantastic, Bells," he said. Him and Edward said hello and we all sat down. We ordered for ourselves and Rose and Emmett, because they were always late lately. About twenty minutes since I'd arrived they finally showed up. Rose looked happier then I'd ever seen her and Emmett looked, well, a bit scared. As they approached the table I made a move to get up but Rose shot me a 'don't you sare' look and I gladly stayed put.
"Hey, guys," she said excitedly. "I have some news." She wrapped both hand around Emmett's bicep and leaned into him. "We're having a baby!" Alice squealed and I gave an excited scream myself. I grabbed Rose's hand and pulled her to me, unable to get up, and gave her a tight hug.
"Congratulations," I whispered in her ear. Alice joined our hug and we squealed for a good five minutes. I looked over and Jasper and Edward were congratulating Emmett.
"Well this is just perfect!" Alice exclaimed. "Because little Jasper is getting a brother…or sister!" We all looked at Alice. "I'm having another one!" We all squealed again and embraced again. Edward and Emmett were now congratulating Jasper.
After the celebration died down a bit we sat down to our meal. I marveled at the thought that all three of us were pregnant at the same time. The conversation flowed easily but was dominated by baby talk. I sighed as I felt my back cramp up again. I gave Edward a pleading look and he instantly knew what I needed. He placed one of his strong hands on my lower back and began kneading. I melted into his touch and rejoined the conversation.
Twenty minutes later my back cramped again, this time much worse. I felt my breath leave me in a sudden whoosh and clutched at my stomach.
"Bella," I heard Edward say. "What's wrong?" He pulled my chair out a bit and knelt in front of me. I opened my eyes to see his green orbs worried. I smiled and placed a palm against his cheek.
"I'm going into labor," I answered as I rubbed my stomach. Edward's eyes grew to the size of saucers as he realized what I had said.
"We need to go. Call the hospital. Your bag is at the apartment!" he said frantically. He patted himself down, suddenly. "Where are my keys?" I laughed and slowly stood with the help of Alice and Rose.
"You're not driving her," Alice said authoritatively. "You're a mess." I laughed at her statement. Rose grabbed my hand and led me outside. Edward was quickly by my side, much calmer and rubbing his cheek.
"Did Emmett slap you?" I asked, amused. Edward nodded sheepishly.
"I'll take her, Alice" Edward said. "Besides, I need someone to go get her bag." Alice eyed him for a minute but nodded and gave me a peck on the cheek saying she'd be there soon. Rose did the same and Edward quickly escorted me into the car.
"Are we really doing this?" I asked getting nervous. Edward smiled and laughed.
"I think we are." I rubbed my stomach as the pain returned and Edward offered me his hand.
"I love you," I said as he pulled out onto the road. He smile increased even more.
"I love you too," he said, his voice jumping as I squeezed his hand. I sighed but a smiled found its way to my face as I started the rest of my life.
A/N: Yes, you read the title right. Epilogue. I can honestly say that I no longer care for this story. I don't know why. I think I get bored easily. Either way it's been fun and everyone who reviewed is fantastic! I do have three other stories right now though that are different then this one but fun! I love those. Thanks for taking this ride with me!
