Chapter 12:

Here we are 9 months later doing the same thing we have done twice already. We are giving Alice her bachelorette party. Rosalie got married 3 months after I did and then we started to plan for Alice's wedding. Rose definately won the bridzilla award hands down.

All of our weddings were and are different. Mine was a summer wedding with citrus colors. I had floral decorations. My dress was strapless and a little on the old fashioned side. It was the most extravagant one. Rosalie had a fall wedding with darker shades of red and orange colors. She had leafy decorations. Her dress was simple and elegant seeing as she is already extra orinarily beautiful. It had shoulder length straps that came down and created a v-neck, one side over lapping the other creating a slit that went down to her hip. From the hip down was just the material. Our bridesmaid's dresses were strapless and a deep burgandy color. Alice was getting married tomorrow which was April 21st. She was having a pink, green and blue wedding to go with spring colors. The flowers were all one design, tulip. Alice's dress was a Vera Wang of course. It was strapless with a somewhat v-neck and had a blue strap that tied into a bow on the side. At the hip it poofed up and looked like a fairytale dress. (A/N: Imagine Liv's dress from Bride Wars. If you have never seen this movie, you are missing out).

Over all very different but each very beautiful. The one thing that was always the same was the venue. The Cullen household. Carlisle and Esme are thrilled that they are each celebrated there.

"I feel like this should be a tradition," Rose said. "Too bad we are all married. Or almost all married"

I laughed at this. Rose has been acting a little odd all day. This morning when she came over to have breakfast with me she got sick. I wonder if that is why.

Married life has been wonderful for Edward and I. Total and complete bliss from the start. We have been talking about starting a family a lot lately because Edward just got promoted to be an independent surgeon. I was so happy for him. I just recently finshed my book and it is being published right now. The book goes out in stores the day that Alice's honeymoon is over. I have already sold about 500 copies. That is not bad at all.

"Well someone could always get divorced," I said while shrugging. I was joking of course. We were all who we were meant to be with. No questions asked.

"Well, since your offering I would love to plan your next wedding," Alice said and I hit her on the arm playfully.

We had already packed Alice's suitcase and were just sitting and chatting.

"So, Edward and I have been talking about starting a family..," I said getting on a new topic.

"Really?" Alice asked excited. I nodded and she squealed.

"Umm..," Rose said and she looked scared.

"Whats wrong?" I asked. I don't see how me getting pregnant could possibly upset her.

"Okay, so I already talked to Emmett and he said I could say something whenever it felt right. I went to the doctor a few days ago and they said I am about 12 weeks pregnant. I couldn't believe it," Rose said. I was so happy for her. So thats what has been up with her. Morning sickness this morning I guess.

"Is this something you wanted?" I asked confused. Normally people would be excited to be pregnant when they are married.

"Well don't get me wrong I do want kids, but it was unexpected. We were going to wait a couple more months but I guess it happened on accident. Of course I am happy, it just seems so soon."

"Rose, that's great. You know you have us here for you," Alice said while bouncing up and down. She has been waiting for one of us to get pregnant since we got married she loves kids so much. I understand her wanting to wait. It has been 9 months and I am still unsure if I want a kid to come in between Edward and I. Rose must feel this way, but she couldn't have been upset to hear about it.

"Wait a sec Rose! Did you say 12 months?! How could you have not noticed. Surely there would be signs?" I asked. How could she not know?!

"Exactly why I am in shock. I guess I just got so busy I didn't relize that I was late or so stressed that I blamed soreness and dizziness on that."

"Hmm..., well that is odd. Did you find out the sex? I thought you could know by 12 weeks is that right?" Alice asked.

"Yes you can know," she said with a smile playing on her lips.

"And?" I asked. I wanted to know if I am going to have a little niece or nephew!

"It is a boy of course!" she said.

"Aww...," Alice and I said together. Now I am so excited!

"Have you thought of any names?" Alice asked.

"Yeah but we will talk about it later. You are the one getting married!" Rose said and I nodded. It was at that moment that my phone rang. It was Edward. I walked out of the room to get some privacy.

"Hi honey," I answered.

"Hello, love. I just found out some very interesting news. Would you like to know it?" he was smiling.

"Does this have anything to do with Rose being pregnant?"

"How did you know?!" Edward said shocked.

"I have my ways," I laughed. "She actually just told us. Isn't it great? I am so excited!"

"Yes it is. Have you told them about us starting to try?" Edward asked and I smiled.

"In a way. I said we have talked about it. Does that count?"

"Sure," he said and I heard a smile in his voice. In that background I heard Jasper and Emmett singing loudly with thier words slurring.

"Are you the DD?" I asked.

"Yup. Right now we are back at our place. Is that okay?" he asked.

"Yeah just don't let them do anything rash or stupid," I said and laughed.

"Love you. See you tomorrow," Edward said.

"I love you, too. Sleep well," and with that he hung up.

I walked back in the room and they were starring at the cieling looking bored.

"How are the boys?" Rose asked.

"Drunk. Edward is the DD though," I said and she laughed.

"Great," Alice moaned.

"Emmett told them," I said to Rosalie.

"I know. We agreed we would tonight."

"Oh, okay," I said and then they looked at me with curious eyes.

"What are you not telling us?" Alice asked and Rose nodded. I rolled my eyes and shrugged and they nodded in presistance.

"I stopped using birth control about three months ago and protection," I said simply as if they should already know.

"Seriously?" Alice asked. I kind of felt bad. She was always the last to get anything. As in married or starting a family.

"Uh, yeah. We are trying and for sure want a family. I was down playing it earlier," I told them honestly.

"Three months?! I don't even have to stop using pertection to get pregnant!" Rose said.

"God blessed you to where you can speed up the process a bit," Alice said and I laughed.

"Well I am supposed to start my period tomorrow so I think that I am going to be one of those people who have to try for years until thay finally get pregnant."

"Bella, you could already be and not know it. Want to take a test just for fun? I have one," Rose asked. I knew that I could and it would be clear but I didn't feel right.

"I don't know. I think maybe Edward should be there...,"

"To watch you pee on a stick?" Rose and and Alice bust up laughing. I just shrugged.

"Okay, you are right. It wouldn't hurt to have just a little fun, right?" I said.

They nodded and jumped up all excited.

We were standing in the bathroom looking at the little device. I was getting nervous about the probably impossible. "I am probably not pregnant. Like I said, 3 months," I said and they just rolled their eyes. My head was starting to hurt.

"Do you have motrin? I am starting to get a headache," I said. and She nodded towards the medican cabinet.

"And this explains the headache. I hope you have not been drinking," Rose said and I looked back at her with questioning eyes. What was she talking about.

"It is positive," she explained and I felt shock overcome me. Was I really pregnant? Alice was bouncing up and down of course.

I was going back to the past couple weeks. I have been having some headache and fitigue problems, but other than that I have been okay. I have been craving a lot of chocolate, too, but that is sometimes normal.

"Bella?" Rose asked concerned. I am sure I was still in shock.

"Are you serious?" I asked.

"100%" she said and Alice nodded. I let out a breath of air. Wow.

"Sorry, Alice. I didn't mean to take the attention away from you. Umm, what movies do you want to watch?" I asked a little confused, but excited none the less.

"What is going through your head right now?" Alice asked with concern in her eyes. I knew that I changed the subject, but I didn't know how to face it right now.

"Well, umm, shock? I mean I know I was trying, just didn't think it would happen so soon. And how am I supposed to tell Edward. What if he changed his mind about having a baby? What if he leaves me? I can't raise a child on my own! It needs a father!" I said panicking. They sat me down on the floor.

"Shh...," Rose said while smoothing my hair. "I know what is going through your head as well. You feel alone and scared and are going to each worse senario. Edward is going to be happy and excited. He would never leave your side. He wanted this baby too, you know? He came up to me and told me how much he wanted to start a family with you. Emmett wasn't with me at the doctor's office when I found out. I had no idea what to do. But the second I saw his face I knew he loved me and wouldn't leave. I told him straight up and he was thrilled."

This calmed me down a ton. I took a deep breath in and let it out. "Thank you, Rosalie. You have no idea how much that helped. Okay, now it can be movie time," I said and they nodded in agreement. I was stilled a little freaked but didn't show it.

The next morning I woke up around 8. I couldn't sleep very well last night. It is probably because I have another person growing inside me that Edward doesn't know about. I still didn't know how to approach the subject so I just let it go for the moment.

I got up and fixed us a big breakfast. Eggs, beacon, toast and fruit. Right as I was finishing up they walked down. "Good morning," I said and smiled. They looked at me sleepily and nodded.

"So, bride to be, how does it feel?" I asked.

"Great. I couldn't be happier in my life," Alice said cheerfully and I smiled.

"You are looking better," Rose noted.

"Thanks?" I asked confused.

"You looked like you saw a ghost last night after you found out your little news."

"Oh, that. Well, yeah not much has changed, just that I decided it is Alice's day and that we could talk about it later." Right after I said that all of the catering people and wedding planners were knocking at the door to start to set up. We finshed breakfast and went upstairs to stay out of the way.

It was 9 when we got back up and we decided to get ready. Today was going to be a long day.
