The second we got all to my apartment, Alice said she had an announcement.

" I'm Pregnant!" She exclaimed

All of our jaws dropped.

"Since when?"

"How far along are you?"

"Do the boys know?" we all shouted out at once.

"okay," Alice started "I'm 3 months along, and Jasper is going to tell Charlie, Daniel, and Emmet tonight. We told Edward yesterday. We thought he should know before he left."

"OH MY GOD! Alice this is so exciting!" I told her. We spent the rest of the night talking about the baby. I was happy.

The next morning came too quickly. I had to get up at 5:30 to go to work. I'm not a morning person and staying up until 2:00 in the morning didn't help much. I groggily got up and dressed in my uniform before having a Pop Tart and downing three cups of coffee. I left a note for Alice and the girls and headed to work.

My first day of work started off eventfully. I went of six different calls. The first was for a domestic disturbance, and the next was for a overturned car, and the rest were people I pulled over for speeding. By the end of the day I was exhausted. When it was finally time for me to go home I was more than ready.

As I got out of my car I could smell Lasagna and Garlic Bread 0coming from the open window in my apartment. Thank God for Esme. When I went in the front door I saw Esme sitting on the couch.

"Hey Esme" I told her.

"Hello dear" she responded.

"Thank you so much for making dinner, you know you didn't have to."

"Oh I know sweetheart, but you know how much I love to cook!"

"I know, where are the rest of the girls?"

"They went home about an hour ago, I should head home too. I'm sure you're tired after a long day."

"Thanks again Esme! You're a lifesaver!"

In the next 5 months I fell into a boring routine. Monday morning through Thursday evening I had work. Friday nights I went out with Alice and Rose. Saturday I usually went out with them again. Sunday I went to Mass (I am Catholic) and then went to my parent's house for a big Sunday lunch with everyone. We did this every Sunday since I could remember. Mass then lunch, it was my favorite tradition.

This Sunday I had an uneasy feeling all day. I couldn't stop thinking about Edward.

"Bella. Bella. Earth to Bella!" I heard Alice's obnoxious voice calling me. When I looked up I saw everyone looking at me amused.

"Huh?" My genius response

"What are you thinking dear, you seem worried." My Mom asked

"Oh, I'm okay. I was just thinking about Edward."

Just as I said that my phone rang. It was an unknown number.

"Hello?" I asked

"Is this Miss. Isabella Swan?" A male voice asked

"Yes this is she, may I ask who's calling!"

"This is Sergeant Jacob Black, one of Edward's friends. You are listed as his first contact in his file. There's no easy way to say this, Edward was hurt this morning."

"WHAT!" I yelled. Everyone looked up at me startled.

"We were patrolling this morning, and he was shot. He is expected to be okay. We'll have him call you as soon as he can. I just thought you would want to know." Sergeant Black said.

"Yes," I answered shakily "Thank you."

When I hung up the phone I started sobbing. I managed to get out three simple words.

"Edward. Got. Shot."

All of the women started crying as well and the men just stared at me. We sat like that for almost an hour before my phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Bella, it's me Edward."

"Oh God Edward! What happened? Are you okay?" I asked him frantically.

"Don't worry Babe. It's nothing just my shoulder. I'll be fine, They're not even sending me home early for it."

"Okay. Your mom wants to talk to you." I told him as I handed the phone to Katie's outstretched hand.

As soon an I handed Katie the phone I was bombarded with questions about Edward. By the time I finished answering them Katie was handing me the phone back.

"Hey"

"Hey, I have to go now Babe. I'll see you in 4 weeks. They extended my leave, so I'll be home for 4 months instead of only 2."

"That's great! Love you!"

"Love you too, so much!"

I smiled to myself as I hung up the phone. Everyone was excited when I told them about Edward's extended leave. It was amazing that we only knew each other for 5 days before he was deployed, and he was gone for 6 months, yet we were so close. I knew I loved him.

"I have too pee." Alice suddenly stated. She was huge know. I was so excited that I would be an Aunt soon.

"Jasper and I are expecting a baby girl." Alice simply said. She was VERY anti-climatic.

"OH MY GOD ALICE! That's so awesome!" Rose exclaimed.

"AHH! We're going to have so much fun shopping!" I yelled. Esme and my Mom started crying and Everyone just sat smiling.

Later that night, as we were leaving Alice pulled me aside.

"Bella," she started "Jas and I talked about it and we want you to be in the delivery room when Mary Bella is born."

"You're naming your baby after me?" I asked tearing up

"Of course silly, you're my Big Sister!"

"True."

"Anyway if you don't want to be in the delivery room we'll understand..."

"Alice" I interrupted

"I mean I would love for you too.."

"Alice" I tried again

"It would mean a lot to me."

"ALICE! OF COURSE I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU!" I yelled.

"Yay!" Alice exclaimed oblivious that I tried to talk to her twice during her ramble, "Got to go! I'm so tired lately!"

I laughed to myself as I pulled out of the driveway. Exactly four weeks later, Alice's water broke.
