BPOV

I got up to use the bathroom about 1:30 this morning and when I was walking out, I caught sight of my super hot boyfriend's naked ass where he lay sleeping after our romp a few hours earlier. If the hormones had been bad before we started fooling around again, the third trimester was looking to set a record as I could barely do anything without him driving me crazy!

Slipping into bed, I reached my hand around his waist and he started to stir. "What is it baby, are we out of ice cream or cucumbers or something?"

Just the mention of cucumbers made me break out into a smile as I hand slid down and claimed its prize. "Edward." I whispered his name, my voice filled with need and desire and he rolled over to face me.

"Baby, you know I love you, but I'm exhausted."

"Please…I promise to do all the work. You just have to lay there and enjoy."

His eyes snapped open and the look on his face confused me. "I don't ever want to 'just lay there' and let you fuck me. Come here." I straddled his stomach and kissed him, his hands running up and down my sides, grazing my breasts. "God I love these. And I didn't think you could have been any more beautiful than you were the day I met you, but it seems I was wrong."

Feeling him harden behind me, I rose up and slid down over him, moaning loudly at the sensation. I began rocking over him as he guided my movements with his hands, making sure he didn't buck up into me too much as he was still afraid of hurting the baby.

As the tension began to grow unbearable, I leaned forward and rocked into him at the new angle, quickly sending us both over the edge. "Fuck!" Was the only word that escaped into the night as Edward came for the second time in four hours and then softened inside me. Helping me off of him, we went to the bathroom to clean up and then snuggled back in the bed with his hand on my stomach and my lullaby playing softly in the background.

I woke up the next morning to find my bed empty as Edward was off to his summer English class. I looked over at the calendar on the fridge and grimaced, Edward's birthday was in 2 days and I didn't know what to get him. I called Esme, hoping she would be able to help me and she jumped at the idea, telling me that Carlisle would join us before he headed to an evening shift at the hospital.

While I was waiting for them to come over, I started cleaning, but was surprised when there was a knock at the door, because Esme now had a key and was finally starting to use it. I opened the door and went to slam it as soon as I saw who was there, but Jake's hand was quicker as he pushed it back open and walked inside. "Get out!"

"When were you going to tell me you were pregnant?"

I gaped at him and shook my head. "I wasn't ever going to tell you, it's none of your business!"

"That could be my baby, I should have been told."

I growled and stomped my foot. "This is Edward's baby! I was pregnant after you and there is no way it's yours because I had my period after the last time we were together. I don't know why you'd care; you didn't want this with me, that's why you slept around on me. Now get out of my house!" As soon as I finished yelling at him, I doubled over in pain, grabbing my stomach as I knelt on the couch.

"Bella…what's-?"

Jake's concern was cut off by my door flying open again as Esme filled the doorway. "What's going on here?"

Jake turned and blanched, as Esme flew at him, smacking him until I screamed again. As soon as it left my mouth, Esme pushed past Jake and I heard Carlisle's voice behind me. "I suggest you get out of here Jacob, and don't you ever come near my family again."

I squeezed my eyes closed as the pain tore through me and soon I felt myself being lifted off the couch and opened my eyes to see Carlisle looking back at me. "Carlisle, I'm scared."

"I know, Bella, but we're going to take good care of you. Esme, call Edward and have him meet us at the hospital and then call her doctor."

I was hanging out with Leah and Seth, trying to show her the city now that she was living here, when her phone rang. She grumbled and answered it, snapping at the person on the other end. "What do you want?"

There was silence for a minute and then she gasped. "What did you do?" There was another brief silence before she cut back in. "You know what, just stay away from both of us; you and your cousin are the worst thing that ever happened to Bella and me."

She hung up the phone and threw it in her purse as Seth tugged at his hair. "That jackass! What are Jake and Sam doing now?"

"Wait Jake, what about Jake?" I looked up and saw them both freeze.

"Sam and Jake are cousins and he told Jake that he saw Bella last week and that she was pregnant."

"What?" Just then, my phone rang and I answered it quickly. "Hello?"

"Edward, get to the hospital now, Bella is being rushed into surgery."

My stomach dropped again and I ran out with Leah and Seth trailing behind. "Edward, what is it?"

"Call Charlie, Bella's going into surgery."

The next few hours were a blur as I sat with my parents and our friends as my dad tried to get us any update possible. When Dr. Carmen came out to the waiting room, she was smiling, which gave us the first shred of relief we'd had. "Bella is being moved to recovery and you should be able to see her soon. The placenta detached and caused a lot of bleeding, but thankfully there was very little damage and she should be fine once she's had the time to heal."

"And our daughter?" My voice caught in my throat as I began to sob, but the doctor's smile never faltered.

"She was 35 weeks, which technically makes her a preemie, but she's just over five pounds so her weigh isn't a concern, but she's having a little difficulty breathing so she's in the NICU for now, but you can go in and see her."

I breathed a sigh of relief as I was once again lucky that they would both be fine. We'd be okay, and I'd believe it as soon as I saw them. As if my father could read my mind he brought me down to the NICU and let me see my daughter. I sat down in the chair next to her after putting on the gown and gloves and reached my hand through the hole in the side of the incubator to brush it against her arm.

There is no way to describe the magical feeling of watching my daughter breathe. It was the simplest thing, but after all of the scares we went through with her I couldn't help but fall in love with her the instant I felt the tiny current between us, the same one I felt every time I touched Bella.

I sat with her for as long as they allowed and then took a picture so I could show everyone when I went back to the waiting room. As we sat there, I got the full story from my parents about them going to get Bella and finding Jake there accusing her of keeping the baby from him, thinking it was his. I was about to go find the overgrown mutt and kick his ass when my parents told me that he wouldn't be a problem anymore.

I was brought back to Bella's room and settled in next to her, waiting for her to open those gorgeous eyes for me. When she finally did, she looked at me with a terrified expression, but I already had my phone out to show her that our daughter was doing okay. She calmed down after that and asked when we could see her.

I told her that she couldn't go into the NICU because she needed to rest, but that we'd get the baby to her as soon as she was cleared.

Edward stayed with me all night, but by morning I finally got him to head off to class with his parents there to sit with me. My dad showed up and rushed in, which is what finally sent Edward off. I was sitting next to my dad, looking online for a present for Edward when he told me to look for something that related to the baby. He always said one of his favorite gifts was a keychain with a fake sapphire on it under my name and that's when it hit me.

I looked up a jewelry store that I knew near the magazine and quickly found what I wanted. I called up and ordered the gift and my dad told me that he'd pick it up tomorrow when it was ready so that way I could give it to Edward on his birthday.

About that time, the nurse came in so I could pump some milk for Billie and she told me that her breathing had improved and that they may even be moving her to the regular nursery soon, as long as she kept her breathing up.

I was so happy to hear that she was doing well, but it was killing me that she couldn't come in here and I had to stay in bed. I wanted to see her and it was hard to have everyone else tell me how perfect she was while I couldn't see it with my own two eyes.

When Edward stopped by the next evening for his birthday, he came bearing food from the restaurant and well wishes from the gang. Settling in, we ate our dinner before the nurses came in to have me pump for the baby. While we were waiting for the interruption, Edward reached in his bag and handed me a small box.

"What's that?" I frowned, not knowing why I was getting a present on his birthday.

"It's your 'push' gift, or it would have been. Now it's just a thank you for giving me the most amazing birthday gift there is."

I opened the box and saw 10 pearl bracelets in a rainbow of colors. "Edward, this is too much."

"Relax, it was a set. I was going to get you something with a ruby but then I realized her birthstone isn't ruby anymore, so I asked the lady and she told me that June's birthstone was pearl. Then she started showing me some different things and I loved this because you would always have one that matched your outfit, so you always have a reminder of our girl right there on your wrist. She's kind of like a pearl, you know. She started out as this tiny thing, but kept growing until it was time for her to make her debut."

The tears filled my eyes as I reached for his gift and handed it to him. "Happy Birthday, Edward."

He opened the box and held out the necklace with the silver guitar pic hanging on it, with our daughters name on one side, and a mother of pearl heart on the other. "It's beautiful, Bella."

"I know you don't play the guitar anymore, but I thought you'd like it."

"I love it, baby." Edward leaned in to kiss me, just as the door opened.

The nurse blushed and then began backing into the room. "Sorry to interrupt, but I thought you'd like another guest at this party."

Just then, I caught sight of the tiny tuft of bronze hair and the flailing arm as the nurse rolled her over to me. Edward got out of the way as she helped me get ready and then handed me my daughter for the first time so I could feed her.

Once she latched on, I looked over at an awestruck Edward and smiled because somehow, I'd finally gotten the family I always wanted.

I apologize for any heartfail or for getting any medical stuff wrong. I did some research and asked my sister who is surrounded by babies, including her own as all her people are now moms too and did what I could with it. Thanks for the love as always...it means so much!
