Okay all, here's more Good Sex! For anyone who thinks Edward should hand in his 'man card' for all the crying he's doing at the dr.'s office, let me tell you, I went with my sister to her 20 week ultrasound when they told her that she was having a girl and I cried...hard! It is so overwhelming to see on the screen and the 3D ultrasound is so clear...we were there for like an hour as they measured everything and it felt like nothing at all.

EPOV

I felt bad that trying to get all of this music done was causing me to spend more time away from Bella, but in the end, the results would be worth it. It was going to take a little while before they could edit the CD's for me, but at the moment, I was done.

Bella had signed us up for a few cooking classes for her feature for the April issue and was going out with the girls this weekend to work on some more of the big pregnancy guide, which was stretching out over three issues. She'd also used my time away to bank some smaller reviews that she could add in, as she tended to write three of the smaller reviews and then her feature each month.

The girls teased that Bella was reviewing every restaurant in Seattle for their fun atmospheres, but she also went out to a few clubs, which bothered me slightly. I trusted my girl and tried to ease up, even though I worried the late nights weren't helping how she had been feeling.

In an attempt to help, my boys brought her out to a few hardware stores so she could write up the female friendly places.

The night before our first cooking class, Bella seemed completely exhausted, but all she did was flirt with me when I tried to talk to her about slowing down.

Heading out to class that morning, I was haunted by a tune I'd been trying to figure out for almost a month. It came at me at the weirdest times, but I couldn't wrap my head around it at the moment. I was sitting in my composition class as we were studying the complication of simplistic models, how you could take a simple structure like a basic aria or a lullaby…that's when it hit me. The song I'd been hearing, it was a lullaby. But it wasn't the typical 'lull the baby to sleep' type, the structure was too consuming and the pieces were a little more melancholy. As soon as we were released, I ran to the composition rooms and sat down; playing what was in my head as the computer hooked up to the keyboard recorded what I was playing. I let it flow from me and then saved it to my flash drive before printing a copy and heading to my car.

I got to Bella's place and took out my keyboard and a book of sheet music and began cleaning it up. Finding moments that could repeat, removing notes that didn't fit in, carving away at what had been there all along.

Her hand on my shoulder brought me out of my trance and she smiled at me. "Are you writing something?"

I nodded and she smiled. "When do we have to go to the cooking class?"

"We should get going now. I let you go as long as I could." She ran her fingers through my hair and I leaned back against her stomach. "This is a onetime class?"

Bella shook her head. "No, this is the one that meets three times. Tonight's breakfast!"

I laughed at her enthusiasm, because Bella had become obsessed with eggs recently and would eat them for every meal, if she could.

I turned off my headphones and keyboard and then stood up. Grabbing my coat as we walked out into the cold February evening, we got to the car and set off for our class.

Walking in, Bella pulled me over to one of the stations and smiled as she eyed the eggs. The class filled up with another five couples as the chef came in and took the front station. "Hello class, my name is Chef Tyler and I'm going to be teaching you how to make a complete day's worth of meals over the next three weeks. I hope you're hungry this evening because tonight I'll be teaching you how to make waffles from scratch."

Bella groaned quietly beside me and I laughed. Over the next hour, we made the batter and whipped the heavy cream and made flavored syrup for the finished product. As we popped the waffle out of the maker, Bella poured the syrup on and then put a large dollop of whipped cream and now even Chef Tyler was laughing at her enthusiasm.

"Ready to see how it turned out?"

Bella cut into it and held it in front of my mouth. "You've been teasing a pregnant woman with chocolate flavored maple syrup for an hour. As soon as Edward tells me we didn't mess it up, I will be over this!"

I wrapped my mouth around the fork and hummed in approval as Bella began to dig in. "Well congratulations on the waffles and the bun in the oven." Turning to the class he got everyone's attention. "Okay everyone, great job today and remember, next week we move on to lunch."

Bella fought as I tried to eat a little more of the waffles, but soon we were heading out to the car on the way home. We were halfway there when Bella's hand moved to my elbow. "Baby, can we stop and get some ice cream?"

"Sure, what flavor do you want?" I pulled into the parking spot in front of the ice cream parlor.

"Can you get me a peanut butter cup sundae?"

I smiled at how polite she was being and I leaned in to kiss her. "I'll be right back."

Coming out with her ice cream a few minutes later, Bella dove in and started moaning, which went straight to my crotch. I tried to readjust on the sly, but Bella noticed. "Don't worry baby, I'll help you take care of that when we get home."

I looked over to see her eyes were smoldering and I focused on getting us home as quickly and safely as possible.

BPOV

Over the next few weeks, Edward and I had a blast with our cooking classes and had yet another ultrasound. I mailed the photo to my mom and one to my dad, but there was still no word from him. Edward got annoyed that he was upsetting me by not calling to at least tell me that he had gotten it, but I knew that my dad was trying to punish himself. Leah had called a few days after I sent it saying it was on the fridge, but she shouldn't have been the one telling me.

We were getting close to the halfway point in the pregnancy and it was taking its toll on me. I had, with Edward's help, finished my last of the work before the pregnancy issues and even then he was helping me sort out what to put in which issues. His writing had taken over for a while, but he seemed to have finished whatever it was he was working on. I still hadn't heard him play, but he kept promising it would be soon.

Edward and I were measuring for the baby furniture today, because we were going to pick it out this weekend. Now that I was showing, Edward would touch my swollen belly every change he got. He'd talk to it and hum a sweet little tune and I kept falling even more in love with him.

It wasn't even late, but I felt so fatigued that I went into the bathroom to wash my face and relieve my bladder, which was now being pushed on by my little nudger.

Coming out of the bathroom I started feeling really dizzy and my nerves started to take over as I called out to Edward. He came in the room and his face was as white as a sheet. "Baby?"

"Edward, I don't feel-" The last words never left my mouth as everything went black.

EPOV

Bella and I were trying to figure out where we'd be putting the baby furniture, but I could tell she was feeling tired. She'd been taking a lot of breaks, but wouldn't just go and take a nap like I'd suggested. I was trying to look around the living room and decide what could be moved for the changing table, when Bella called to me from the bedroom.

I walked in and she was so pale and shaky looking that my heart stopped. I moved towards her and she started telling me she wasn't feeling well when her eyes fluttered and she dropped. I ran to catch her and caught her safely before pulling out my phone.

"911, what is your emergency?"

"My girlfriend is 20 weeks pregnant and she just passed out."

The operator began firing off questions as she told me to lay her on her left side. After a few minutes, I got off the phone to call Dr. Carmen's office and tell them that we would be arriving at the hospital soon.

The knock on the door brought me out of the downward spiral my thoughts were taking me on. Bella had to be alright. The baby has to be alright. I couldn't handle either of them being hurt, or worse.

Letting in the EMT's they quickly got her on the gurney and I followed behind them, before climbing in the back in case she woke up on the ride over.

After a few minutes of oxygen and lying on her side, Bella's eyes opened and she started to struggle against the straps holding her down. Getting her attention, I told her that we were on the way to the hospital and that she would be okay.

Arriving at the hospital, they whisked her off to check her out and left me to handle her insurance. Before I went inside to take care of her paperwork, I pulled her phone out of her purse and called Charlie.

The phone rang three times and then Charlie's deep voice came over the line. "Hello?"

"Charlie, its Edward. Bella's at Seattle General and I need you to come here."

I heard the sharp intake before he began talking again. "What happened? Is the baby okay?"

"I don't know, Charlie. She fainted and now they're looking her over. But I know she'd want you here. Not talking to you has been killing her."

"It'll take a few hours to get there, but I'll be there as soon as I can." There was a brief pause and then he sighed. "Thank you, son."

The line went dead and I went in to confirm the info on file from Bella's last visit a few months ago. When I was done, I headed up to the waiting room for the maternity floor, stopping to leave a message with Rose.

Sitting there alone had to be the scariest time I had spent. My dad came up after one of the nurses saw me hop out of the back of the ambulance and sat with me until his beeper went off and he had to check on a patient.

Dr. Carmen finally came out and brought me to Bella's room, telling me that her blood pressure had dropped due to the pregnancy and that had caused the fainting, but that they would be keeping her overnight for observation.

Walking into the room and seeing Bella curled up on her side facing the door, my heart soared as she started crying. "Baby, I'm so sorry that I scared you like that."

I ran to her and took her hand in mine. "Don't worry about me; I'm just glad that my girls are okay."

"Your son and I are doing just fine. Right?"

Dr. Carmen walked over and nodded. "The fetal monitor we had you hooked up to showed that everything was fine, but instead of waiting until Monday to see, how about we do your 20 week ultrasound right now."

Bella nodded and she brought in the equipment and started the familiar process of getting ready to show us the baby. The whooshing lasted a little longer than normal, which scared the shit out of me, but then the beating rang out and I exhaled…our baby was fine. The doctor was able to do a lot more with this machine, which was a 3-D ultrasound. She took a long time measuring the bones and different organs, she showed us the baby's heart beating with a red flash as it pumped blood and then the baby moved and she began clicking buttons. "Would you like to put an end to those debates about what you're having?"

I looked over at Bella and she was nodding almost violently. I smiled at her and turned back to the doctor. "Yes, please."

She brought up the wand a little and paused the screen. "I'm sorry mom, but those three lines right there prove that daddy's right. You're having a girl."

Bella gasped and I gaped and then turned away, looking at Bella as the tears rolled down. "Our girl."

The quiet awe as she said that was so overwhelming. A few hours ago I had been so terrified that I could lose them both, and now my girls were both safe and healthy. Dr. Carmen finished up and then went to step out when there was a knock at the door. She opened it and Bella's shocked voice filled my ears. "Daddy?"

I turned to see Charlie standing in the doorway. He walked in and her whole face lit up, so I moved out of the way and his hand stopped on my shoulder. "You stay right there, that's where you belong."

I looked up at Charlie and saw the sincerity of his statement written across his face. "Its okay, Charlie. I should call and give my parents the good news."

"They gave Bella a clean bill of health?" Charlie looked at her and she nodded.

"And our daughter."

"It's a girl? I'm going to have a granddaughter?"

Bella smiled and hugged her father as I left to call my parents.

Charlie stayed for a few hours, but had to head back so he could get some sleep before his shift in the morning. The change in his attitude towards me was complete as he regarded me as 'son' and thanked me over and over for calling him when there was the first sign of trouble. Bella fell asleep and I was trying to relax, but my mind kept going back to all the horrible, morbid thoughts I had this afternoon. I could have lost them both. The tears I'd been holding in for Bella's sake fell as she slept peacefully.

I hadn't heard her wake up, but I felt her hand on my wrist and looked up to see the tears in her eyes as well. She scooted back on the hospital bed to make room for me and I cuddled up facing her, brushing the hair off of her face. "You don't have to hold it in with me; you can tell me what you were feeling."

I took another deep breath and began. "You've been so rundown lately, but every time I try to get you to slow down you waved me off. Then earlier, you looked so pale and then you collapsed…I thought I was losing both of you. Bella, I would never survive it if something happened to either of you. You're my whole world."

Bella placed her hand on my cheek and wiped at the tears on the left side of my face. "I should have listened to you, but I didn't want to have everyone doing everything for me. It's easier because the work stuff is mostly done, so I can type in bed, or do little shopping trips, but I promise to take it easy. Thank you for putting us first and dealing with my craziness. I know you wanted this a while ago, but I can't stand the idea of going to sleep at night and not having you beside me. Will you move in for real?"

"What about all your fears?" I searched her face for any hint that she may be doing this for me instead of herself.

"You've proven they were crap. I understand if you have to cram for a test or something and choose to stay at the dorm, but will you live with me? I want this family to start off on the right foot, I want you there when she starts kicking so much that I can't fall asleep, or when I need my lower back rubbed because she's doing a number on my muscles. I want you to have these moments to look back on when she's giving us crap about not being allowed to wear makeup to the school dance."

The smile that overtook my face as Bella explained her reasoning and painted a picture of our little girl somewhere in the future was completely overwhelming and exactly what I wanted. "I'll have the guys help me tomorrow night, and then we can pick out the baby furniture Saturday knowing that we'll both have to put up with seeing it every day."

Bella's face lit up as she gave me a quick peck. "That sound's perfect."
