BPOV

After the hell that was Christmas with my father, I almost phoned in the pregnancy news to my mom, but Edward calmed me down and got me on the plane. It was nice having him to hold onto as I fidgeted with everything within reach and tried to survive the cross country flight.

Getting off the plane, we walked over to baggage claim and then I turned to see Phil leaning against one of the far pillars. "Phil!" I waved and he looked in our direction, pushing off the pillar and walking over to give me a hug before he shook Edward's hand.

"Nice to meet you, Edward. Bella, your mother is frantic, so how about we get you two home so she can see that you haven't grown a second head or something."

I laughed and took Edward's hand as we walked out to Phil's car, which is when Edward stopped short. "Sweet ride!" I turned to see the Lexus convertible we were walking over to.

"Phil, this is a brand new Lexus."

He laughed. "Yup, and when the doctor who had owned it for two months traded his wife in for a younger model, she sold his car at half the original price. I couldn't say no when I saw it in the paper. The fact that I'm a minor leaguer and her husband hated baseball cinched it for me. And for the next few days, I'm going to suffer through driving your mom's station wagon so you have a decent ride. It won't be beach weather, but it'll be a lot warmer than you see in Seattle."

We climbed in and Phil put our bags in the trunk before climbing behind the wheel of his baby with Edward in the passenger seat because the back would have been too cramped for him. Zipping down the highway, it took us about an hour to get to my mom's house and just like Phil had indicated, she was wearing a path in the driveway. "Bella!"

I climbed out of the back seat and was immediately enveloped in a tight hug. "Hi mom, this is Edward."

My mom ran around the car and hugged Edward, which made me laugh after Charlie's reaction. Ushering us inside, my mom quickly set out to get her answers. "So, I've been thinking about it and I know why you're here."

"You do?" I looked over at Edward and he took my hand.

"Yes, your father's call only confirmed it for me, but-"

"Dad called you?" I was annoyed that he had told her our news when he knew I was coming down here to tell her.

"He did, he wanted to talk to me about how to apologize for something he did at Christmas and I got it out of him. Don't be upset with him Bella, but after Leah's pregnancy-"

"Leah's what?" What in the hell. Was today topsy turvy day with the way this was going down?

Edward squeezed my hand before he went to speak. "Leah got pregnant last year right after she broke up with Sam, he didn't want anything to do with it and she told her mom and Charlie and he freaked on her. She ended up having an abortion."

"She told you on Christmas?"

He nodded and my mom continued. "Look, I know you've always been worried about making the same mistakes I did. Even though you are the best thing that ever happened to me, I wish I had been older and better prepared for you when you came. But Bella, you're not me. You never have been. So don't worry about me freaking out and telling you that you're ruining your life. You have a great job and a guy who obviously cares enough to put up with Charlie's outbursts and still fly across country with you to tell your flighty mother. And Edward, Charlie will probably never admit it, but he was impressed when you stood up to him. I could almost hear the smile in his voice when he told me that part of the story."

"You're really okay with it?" I started crying and Edward's hand drifted from mine to my shoulder as he pulled me closer.

"Baby, I'm thrilled for you! I'm gonna be a grandma." My mom ran to me and hugged me tight and Phil came over to give me a much gentler hug.

That night we sat around and ate some great Cuban food and my mom busted out old videos and photos to thoroughly embarrass me to make up for all the lost time. Sitting on the couch, I was relieved that my mom had taken it so well and didn't ask about when we were getting married, or harp on Edward's age. Instead, she was just happy to see me and excited to coo over the ultrasound we left with her.

Edward and I relaxed over the next three days, enjoying the stress free environment that allowed us to drive with the top down more than once and visited with my mom and Phil before our departure.

EPOV

After getting home from a relaxing trip to Florida, Bella and I looked into some of the ideas that the magazine had sent her for the pregnant months so she could write features without relying on her friends too much for her info. She started setting up appointments or signing up for things that had to be done in advance and also thinking about the different things she could write about for her big pregnancy article. It was great to see her excited now that the stress of telling her parents was past her, even if she hadn't spoken to Charlie yet.

We were getting ready for her next appointment, which meant another ultrasound and I have to admit, I was quickly becoming addicted to seeing the baby on the little black and white screen. If I could have one of those for myself, I'd play with it more than my X-Box.

The morning of the appointment, I drove us over and waited much more calmly than I had the last time. Sitting in the waiting room until the nurse came to get me, I walked in to see the machine set up and the technician ready to show us the baby.

The heartbeat was once again echoing off the walls and the tiny movement made me gasp. The baby had grown so much…you could actually make it out. Once again she printed us out several pictures, while I left to get the car for Bella.

Driving home, Bella stared at the photo in awe. "He looks like a person. You can see his head and everything."

I laughed at her reactions and she just scoffed and went back to cooing at the photo and then running her hand over her belly and talking to it.

"Edward, will you do something for me?"

I looked over and saw Bella looking up at me expectantly. "Sure, what do you need baby."

"Will you record some classical music so I can play it for the baby? I think it will be more special if their father was the one playing it."

I took a deep breath and sat my hand on her stomach. "I'd love to. I'll talk to the people in the recording studio at the music department about setting up extra recording time so I can do it for you. It'll be easy at the beginning of the semester because no one will have compositions or material to record for their repertoire."

"Thank you. You know, I've never heard you play."

"You will soon, I just want it to be on a proper instrument. I'll bring you down to the rehearsal rooms one day."

Bella nodded and we pulled up to her apartment and headed in for lunch.

BPOV

When the semester started back up, I knew I'd be seeing less of Edward, but this was really weird. I'd gotten so used to having him around that between classes and work and him spending extra time working on the classical music I'd asked him for and his two compositions for his 3rd year recital at the end of the semester. I was surprised that as a composition major he'd have to perform, but they wanted the students to show their original works off.

In the first week, I found myself lonely and was actually excited to start the cooking classes with Edward, which I was excited about for myself but had been worried that Edward would get bored.

After another week of very little Edward, I got myself ready for a special evening when he came home from work. I heard the door open and had made sure that I refilled the lemon bowl in the bathroom, because it was the only thing that got rid of the fishy smell that came from the fresh fish they got in at the restaurant every day.

Making sure the lights were all off in the bedroom, I stuffed my body pillow under the blankets and then stood behind the door in my peach and black lace and silk chemise. Edward walked in the room and climbed into bed, cuddling against the pillow only to pop up and pull the blanket down.

"Edward."

He turned to look at me as I stepped forward. "Baby, what are you doing over there?"

I slipped onto the bed and kneeled in front of him. "I wanted to surprise you. I've missed you the past few weeks." He furrowed his brow and went to apologize but I placed my finger on his lips. "Shh. I don't need you to say anything, I just need you. Make love to me, Edward."

Edward's eyes bulged and then he slid back and took off his pants, releasing the part of him I'd missed the most these past few months. I loved Edward for how he treated me and the way he loved me, but most of all I loved how sexy he managed to make me feel. Crawling over to him, I slid on top of him and he looked at me apprehensively. "You're sure?"

Smiling, I threw off my nightgown and lined him up with my entrance and lowered myself slowly. I knew I had to move slowly as I adjusted to the changes in my body and that I had to stay on top because I was at the point where I should stop sleeping on my back, so I was going to stay off of it completely if I could help it.

Edward groaned as he kneaded my ass, his head resting between my breasts and he whispered his oaths of love. "Fuck baby, I've missed you too."

"Oh…shit, Edward, lay down." Doing what I said, I leaned forward and placed my weigh on my hands and legs as I rode him slow and watched as my love's face showed just how much pleasure I was causing him.

He didn't last long with all the anticipation that had built up over the past few weeks, but I wouldn't allow him to feel bad that he wasn't able to hold out until I could climax as well. He had been there when Doc Carmen had mentioned that oral sex wasn't recommended because of the possibility of a complication caused by air being blown down there so he wouldn't suggest that. Instead, I curled into his chest and fell asleep beside him, happy to have him with me.
