BPOV

I walk into the bathroom and shut the door behind me. I need to see this by myself, I don't think I could deal with Edward finding out at the same time I do whether or not I'm pregnant.

What happened last year was so hard on me that I never want to go through that again. I put off taking this test for a couple of days because I was worried the same thing would happen again…. And that would kill me.

I take a deep breath and walk over to the test. I shut my eyes and feel around for it on the counter, and when I finally have it, I lift it to my face and quickly open my eyes.

It has a picture of a little book on it. No "Pregnant", no "Not Pregnant", there's just a little book. I grab the box from the other side of the counter and quickly take out the paper with the instructions.

I look for that part that tells me what the hell it means when you don't get an answer, you just get a little book symbol and when I find it, I read it slowly.

Book Error- an error has occurred during testing. It may be that:

-The absorbent tip was not pointed downwards or the test was not laid flat after urine was applied.

-Too much or too little urine was applied

You should test again using a new test. Take care to follow the instructions

"What the hell?" I say out loud.

"What happened?" Edward asks after he barges in. I flip the test around and let him see.

"Is this a yes or a no?" he asks and I laugh.

"I peed too much on the stick, so it gave me this error message." I say

"Well, what do you have to do? Wait for it to dry or something?" I laugh even harder at his question.

"Well, you got me a 2-pack, so I'll just have to take the other one" I say, and toss the used test into the trash.

"Well…. Go ahead and take it. I'll wait outside" he turns to leave but I grab his arm.

"I don't have to go to the bathroom…. I kinda used it all on that test" I say and he starts to laugh.

"So, tomorrow then?" he asks and I nod. He hugs me tightly, and tells me to get changed and join him in bed.

I come out in one of his shirts a couple of minutes later, and slide in next to him. He wraps his warm arms around me and pulls me close to him. He nuzzles his face into my neck and places a kiss against it before whispering that he loves me.

"I love you too" I say back, and quickly fall asleep in his arms.

*****

I wake up early the next morning, and slowly pull myself out from Edward's arms. I tiptoe over to the bathroom, and shut the door gently, not wanting to wake him. I grab the box with the test in it from the counter and take it out, slowly peeling off the foil wrapper.

I toss it into the trash and then remove the cap, do my business, and replace the cap then lay the test flat on the counter. I brush my teeth while I wait for the results to show up, but when I finish and I see that it's still not ready, I look around for something to do. I decide to clean the toilet, because it doesn't hurt to have a clean toilet.

When I'm sure enough time has passed, I walk over to the test and pick it up….

And immediately start sobbing.

EPOV

I wake up the next morning, and hear muffled cries from the bathroom. I reach over in the bed, searching for Bella, and I'm not surprised when I don't find her.

I get up and walk over to the bathroom door and turn the knob. Bella is there, on the floor crying.

"What's wrong? Are you hurt?" I ask her, and walk closer and take a seat next to her on the cold tile floor. She shakes her head, and points to the little white stick that is lying next to her on the floor. I reach over and grab it, and turn it over in my hands until I see the little screen.

Not Pregnant

My heart breaks for Bella, and it breaks for me. We both wanted another baby, and I joked a lot about having a "honeymoon baby", but I know that the fact that it didn't happen for us this time is hard on Bella.

"Baby, it's Ok. There's always next month" I tell her, pulling her close to me and wrapping my arms around her shoulders. I can't say I know what Bella is feeling right now, but I do know that she felt guilty over what happened last year. She swore the baby was lost because of something she did.

I hold her there in silence for what seems like hours, neither of us saying a word. The sound of our daughter entering our bedroom and calling out for us knocks us back to the present. Bella gets up quickly and rushes to the sink, cupping water in her hands and bringing it up to her face.

Lila comes in as Bella is wiping her face dry, and I bring my arms out to pick her up. She jumps into my arms and I bring her close to me, hugging her tightly.

"Did you sleep well, baby?" I ask her, and she sleepily nods her head. Bella walks over to us and places a kiss on Lila's cheek and then kisses my lips.

"Thank you" she mouths to me, and walks out of the bathroom.

Bella quickly gets to work in the kitchen, preparing some waffles and bacon, while Lila and I watch her cartoons in the living room.

We're called into the kitchen after an episode of one of Lila's favorite shows, and we eat. Well, I eat; Lila practically inhales her food while Bella and I watch, totally in awe of our daughter.

Bella and I wake up early the next morning, and proceed to get ready for work. The day before was just a lazy Sunday. We all lounged around, and watched TV with Lila. There's nothing better than having nothing to do all day, except relax with my girls.

I let Bella take her shower and get ready, and I go to get Lila ready.

Once Bella is out and ready, I take my turn to get ready.

Before we know it, we've eaten and Lila has been dropped off, and we're on our way to the office.

"You feeling better today?" I ask her. She turns her head and looks at me, and smiles.

"Yes. Thank you." she says, and leans over the center counsel, and gives me a quick kiss. I smile back and we pull into the garage.

I grab my things as well as Bella's things for work, and we both make our way to the elevators and up to our offices. I kiss her and hand her things over to her once we hit her floor, and I promise to take her out to lunch.

"I love you" she says as she walks out of the elevator.

"I love you too" I say, and the doors close. I get off when the elevator stops on my floor, and walk by Lauren, who holds out my messages for me.

"Thank you" I say, and continue my way to my office. I go in, switch on the light and toss my briefcase down on the floor next to my desk. I already know I'm going to be super busy today, especially since I have to get in contact with all these people who have called and left me messages, but I decide to get right on it so I can take Bella to lunch.

About 2 hours into my work, there's a knock at my door.

"Come in" I yell out, and look up in time to see Lauren walk in.

"Carlisle wants you to look over these" she says, handing me a stack of papers. I groan when I realize this means I probably won't be able to go to lunch with Bella.

"Thank you, Lauren" I say, and go back to my work.

"How was your weekend?" she asks, and leans on my desk, and starts to play with the pens.

"Umm it was good. How was yours?" I ask her. She smiles and leans down further and I notice that she missed a couple of buttons on her blouse, because I can straight down to her belly button.

I clear my throat, hoping she can catch that I'm trying to tell her about it, but she starts to talk about her weekend.

"My friends and I flew down to Vegas for a bachelorette party…. It got pretty crazy..." she says. While she's talking, she's running her fingers up and down one of my pens. I look up when I notice she's stopped talking and she licks her lips and smiles.

"Have you ever been?" she says. Her eyes smoldering.

"Have I ever been what?" I ask her, confused about what she's asking.

"Have you ever been to Vegas..." she says, her eyes on mine.

"No" I gulp. Which only makes her smile grow.

"You should go… You'd love it." she says, and stands up and walks out of the room. Once she's shut the door behind her, I take a deep breath.

That was fucking awkward….

I continue with my work, and when I look over at the clock and see that it's 15 till noon, I decide to go down and tell Bella I can't go to lunch with her, but not before I order her some lunch to be delivered. Once that's set, I get up and walk out of my office, avoiding Lauren as I make my way to the elevator. I step in and press 9, and once the doors open, I immediately walk to her office. Her door is closed, but I can hear her laughing, along with a male's laughter. Thinking its Carlisle or Emmett, I turn the knob and walk in, only to have the air knocked out of me when I see that it is neither Emmett nor Carlisle in the room with Bella.

It's James.

"Hi Honey" she says, her face glowing from laughing so much.

"Hi." I say, and look over at James, who gives me a slight wave of his hand

"What's going on?" Bella asks as she makes her way in front of me.

"Umm I was just stopping by to tell you that I couldn't make it to lunch, so I ordered you something. It should be here in about 20 minutes.

She kisses my cheek and thanks me.

"What brings you here, James" I say to him. He smiles, but I don't feel like it's a friendly smile, it feels kind of creepy to be honest.

"I was down the street taking care of some things, when I realized I was right by you guys' building, so I decided to stop by and say Hi." he says.

I nod my head, and look over to Bella, who is looking up at me, and has a confused look on her face.

"Well, I better get going, I have to get back to my Dad" James says, and then walks over to us, and grabs Bella from me, and pulls her into a hug.

"See you later, Bells" he says, and then walks past me, "See ya, Edward" he says, and then walks out.

"Bells?? Since when is he calling you Bells?" I ask

She walks over and grabs my in a hug. "I thought you weren't going to be jealous…" she says and I let out a sigh.

"It just bugs me, that's all" she smiles and reaches up on her tip toes to kiss me on the lips.

She thanks me for the food, and tells me to get back to work. I kiss her once more, and make my way back up to my office. Once I'm in the elevator, my mind goes to James. Why does he always want to be around Bella? Does he have some dumb little crush on her or something?

Whatever it is, he better snap the fuck out of it, or else.

James POV

The elevator lands on the first floor, and I walk out with a big grin on my face.

Deciding to come see Bella today at her job was a good thing. She was happy to see me, and we talked for a good 30 minutes, before Masen had to come and fuck it up, of course. The look on his face was priceless when he saw me in Bella's office. I could tell he was getting pissed so I decided to use her little nickname, and call her "Bells"

I snicker to myself when I think of how mad he was about that as I walk into the parking garage and get into Kate's truck.

Hopefully, things will turn out in my favor. I already contacted Jacob's lawyer, and convinced him to drop Jacob as a client, so I don't have to worry about him getting out and fucking this up. I've got Edward jealous of what Bella and I have, and now, all I need is him out of the picture, so I can move in.
