Chapter 3:

The graduation ceremony was finally over and we were all celebrating at the Cullen's. My dad was here and Esme and Carlise as well. We were just sitting down and eating dinner when The adults made the announcment about the house that we are renting for a year.

I was so excited I could hardly stand it!

~*3 MONTHS LATER!*~

"Ugh! Finally!" I said as Edward and I set down the last of all the moving boxes. It had been a long day and I was ready to just relax with a box of pizza and a movie. After I made that decision in my mind I got up and headed towards the phone.

"Bella, what are you doing?" Edward asked. I turned around and smiled shyly. Then I told him matter of factly, "I am going to order a pizza and then we are going to watch a movie and relax. Sound like a plan?" He smiled and nodded. When Alice and Jasper accompanied us we gladly shared our pizza and decided just to talk because everyone was too lazy to dig through moving boxes to find a movie.

Alice and Jasper just left to go to bed when Edward yawned. "Ready for bed?" I asked while giggling.

"Yes please," he said and then picked me up and threw me over his shoulder and I just burst into a fit of giggles on our way up to the bedroom.

"Well, at least the bed is set up," Edward said. We got all new furniture thanks to the Cullens and picking out the matress was the hardest part. We both argued about what type we wanted and then Carlise just picked out a memory foam one for us. "Ready to test it out?" he asked while pulling off his clothes and jumping onto the bed. I nodded and went to pull out clothes not knowing where anything is.

"Can I use one of your t shirts and boxers possibly? I have not a clue where anything is," He went over to a box marked 'Edward's clothes: PJs and Sweatpants' and pulled out a pair of boxers and a big t shirt. "Thank you," I said and started to strip down to put it on.I only had his shirt on which went a little over my bottom and my underwear. He was looking at me and I raised an eyebrow as if asking 'what?' He smiled and said, "Oh nothing, you just look incredably sexy dressed like that," I smiled and pulled on his boxers and hopped in bed.

"I like it, the matress I mean," I said. "It is comfortable and the best part is that my favorate thing is laying right next to me," I smiled at him.

"Oh, really? And what would that be?" He asked smirking.

"Well my pillow of course," I said laughing and he just growled and got on top of me and started kissing my neck. I could barely breathe my heart was racing so fast. "What was that?" he said.

"What...? Oh umm...you?" I asked a little dazd and confused.

"That's what I thought," he said with a smirk on his face. I just glared at him and then rolled over ontop of him and started kissing his bare chest. "Mmm..," he said and I smiled then reached for the lamp and turned the light off while kissing him on the cheek. "You don't get to tease me unless I get payback. Good night. I love you," I said before falling into a deep slumber.

When I woke up the next morning I was snuggled into Edward's side with his arm wrapped protectivally around me. I smiled and tried to go back to sleep when I heard a noise.

"I think they may be the cutest couple ever," Rose's voice said. They were not supposed to be here until tomorrow.

"I know! I am so glad they are together!" Alice's voice sang and my eyes snapped open to them taking a picture of us.

"Excuse me?" I whispered not wanting to wake up Edward. "What are you doing here?" I was a little upset to not have the privacy I wanted in the morning.

"Uhh sorry Bella we just wanted to use your ipod dock and then found you like this," Alice said.

"Whatever just get out before you wake Edward up!" I yelled/whispered and they obeyed immediately. I sighed and watched Edward sleep. I couldn't help but run my fingers through his hair and kiss him lightly on the neck. "Good morning beautiful," Edward said and my head snapped up suprized.

"How long have you been awake?" I asked him making sure I didn't wake him up.

"Oh just long enough to hear you yell at Rose and Alice," He said while smiling. I sighed in relief. "You are so cute when you come to my defense," he said and I laughed while going upto kiss him good morning. I got off the bed and put on a bra under his t shirt wanted to get breakfast as soon as I can. Last night's pizza didn't hold me up that long, and the reason I found out I was so hungry was that it was 11 in the morning. "Where are you going?" Edward asked.

"Food," I said simply as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. He got up and put a t shirt on and walked down with me. Rose and Alice were down there. I glared at them and they just gave me apologetic smiles. I went to the pantry. One box of cereal and a half gallon of milk. "Looks like we are going shopping today," I said as I finished eating. "I'm gonna go shower. Do you want to talk to them about what they want to get and then tell me and I will go buy it," I said and he nodded and said, "I am coming with you," and I smiled.

After putting all of the groceries away we decided to start unpacking. "Which drawers are yours and which are mine?" Edward asked me while standing by the dresser.

"Doesn't matter you choose, but i do prefer top if you don't mind," He agreed with no argument and that is how the rest of the day preceeded. We had a lot of yours and mine discussions and always worked through them. When we were done I decided to cook everyone dinner. I was boiling the noodles for spagetti when Edward came from behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. I leaned back into him and kissed hime on the neck.

"What's for dinner?" he asked.

"My favorite...," I said with a smile.

"And what would that be?" I jumped as Alice entered the kitchen asking me.

"Umm...spaghetti," I said and she grinned and told me everyone approved.

"This spaghetti is bomb Bella! Where did you learn to cook?" Emmett asked while stuffing his face.

"Just something my mom used to make me when I was a kid," I said and tearing up at the memory. My mom died about 18 months ago in a car crash, and Phil didn't care to stay in touch. Edward squeezed my hand reminding me he was there. I just smiled and whispered in his ear, "I think I am okay. I mean that was the first time I have spoken of her in past tense and I feel good. I think I have let her go, but she will always be in my heart," I told Edward and he smiled. "I told you everything would be okay," Edward whispered into my ear and I just laughed quietly and kissed his cheek.

"Hey Em? Jas?" Edward asked. "Yeah?" they both answered.

"Can you help me set up the TV in our room?" they nodded and went to follow him up the stairs.

"So Bella," Alice started to say with Rose right next to her. "How are things?"

"Good. Well, actually, more than good things are fantastic. I feel very optimistic and everything seems to be falling into place."

"Thats good," Rose said. "How is your dad doing?"

"I think he is better, but with Charlie you never know," I said smiling.

"Well thats good. And how is everything with my obnxious brother?" Alice asked.

"Good," me and Rose both said at the same time. We laughed together even know the question was aimed toward me.

"Edward has been with me through a lot," I said. "I don't know what I would do without him."

They both aww'd and I smiled while blushing a bit. "I would ask you how the sex is, but his little sister is standing right here," Rose said.

"Eww!" she said covering her ears and heading out the door.

"It's spectacular!" I yelled hearing Alice make a gagging noise. Me and Rose were laughing our heads off. Edward walked in and put his arms around me.

"What is so funny and spectacular?" Edward asked and my face felt hot, but I knew I was not blushing, yet. "Bye Bella! Have fun explaining!" Rose said and left while I stuck my tounge out at her maturely.

"So..Are you going to tell me?" Edward asked while kissing my neck.

"Uhmm... I don't know. It is kinda a girl thing..." Okay, so I lied. But techniquely we were having girl talk...

"Are you sure? Because last time Alice was in girl talk she did't walk out of the room gagging," He said while laughing.

"Fine! You win! We were talking about how things in my life have been and how Charlie is coping. Rose, of course, had to bring up my sex life after Alice asked how we were handling her brothers. So I am just guessing Alice doesn't want to hear how, when, and where her brother's are getting any," I smirked while I turned around to face him.

"So...you think I am spectacular?" he asked. I put my lips up to his ear and whispered, "Don't get too cocky now," and he just laughed.

We walked into the living room and Alice was glaring at me and Rose. "What did I do? It was all Rose who brought up the topic?!" I asked trying to defend myself.

"Okay ladies, lets just calm down," Jasper said. "Alice, I am sure nobody intended on making you gag," he said with a smirk. Alice just huffed and stood and left. Me and Rose started laughing after she left.

"I can hear you, and I will kill you!" Alice yelled. We shut up immediately and just held in our laughs.

We all ended up going back to our rooms to finish unpacking. "Do you think Esme would mind help put up the photos we have?" I yelled to Edward who was now in the bathroom putting all of the stuff away.

"No, I think she would love to," he said. I Went into the bathroom after I finished unpacking all of the other junk we had and wrapped my arms around him from the back. "I am going to take a shower," I said while kissing his cheek. "Who knew you could be sweaty from unpacking things all day?" I teased and started to take off my top.

"Hmm...only crazy people," he said while leaving and I just rolled my eyes. When I got out of the shower I got a tank top and shorts to wear to bed. We were in Arizona after all. I went back to the bedroom finding Edward looking at some of the photos that I want to hang. I smiled while still drying my hair with the towel. "Showers open," I said causing him to jump that earned a smirk from me. "Okay," was all he said and went to take a shower while he was in there Rose came in.

"Hey Bella. Just want to see how everything is going?" she asked. Rose can be such a good friend sometimes.

"Very well. We are almost all settled in. Edward is actually in the shower right now," I said and she sighed with relief. "Is everything okay Rose?"

"I'm late," was all she needed to say to earn my attention.

"How late?" I asked thinking this may just be something light that we shouldn't worry about. She started to tear up.

"Almost a week. I say about 5 days," she told me.

"Have you guys been using protection?"

"Everytime. And I am on the pill," she said about to bust up in tears. I just hugged her and whispered, "Shh...it is going to be okay. That happens to me every once in a while and I usually get it right when I start to panic. Have you taken a pregnancy test? Have you talked to anyone else about this?"

"No to both. And please don't say anything," she said letting the tears fall freely.

"I won't," I said. "What time is it?"

"Almost 9, why?" she asked.

"We are going to the drug store. Meet me at my car and we will leave now. I will tell Em so don't worry about anything," I told her. I went to changed back into some jeans and a t shirt. We need to figure all of this out soon. There is not a doubt in my mind that this is real. I peeked my head in to the bathroom and said, "Hey Edward?"

"Yeah?" he said.

"I am going to the drug store. Do you want or need anything?" I asked.

"Nah I'm good thanks though babe."

"Your welcome. I will be back in probably an hour so you don't have to wait up if you want to go to bed," I said knowing Rose might need some emotional support afterwards and that Edward could use some sleep.

"Okay, love ya," he yelled over the water.

"You too," I said.

I went to tell Emmett we would be back in an hour and he didn't think anything of it which was a relief. I got to the car and Rose looked terrified almost as if she was about to throw up. This is going to be a long emotional night.
