"There is an 85% that you're having a baby-"

We were then interrupted by the ringing of my phone. Who could that be? Dr. Snow put the wand down as she let me get my phone. Edward reached into my purse and grabbed it and then handed it to me. I looked at the screen and it was Alice.

"Alice, could this wait? Edward and I are at the doctors. We were actually just about to find out the sex, well what the doctor believes that the baby will be."

"I was calling about some wedding details but you're about to find out the sex? Hold on, how about you do the gender cake like I told you last week. You could have it at your wedding or maybe even your birthday next month. Just think about it," Alice asked. That girl just knew when to call, didn't she? I thought for only a few seconds before I answered.

"Ok. I'll think about it. I'll call you when I'm finished so that we can continue details for my wedding," I said before I hit the 'END' button. "That was Alice. She wants us to consider the gender cake option and that we have the cake be our wedding cake. Know that I think about it the idea doesn't sound so bad."

"Are you sure? I mean we can find out right now or wait until next week?" He asked as he held my hand.

I thought for a minute before I turned my attention to Dr. Snow.

"I want to wait one week. But could you write down the gender and put in in an envelope? We want to give it to the baker who's making our wedding cake," I told her. I hope I wouldn't get a weird look. The idea was pretty silly to be honest but a part of me liked it and I could tell Edward did too.

"Of course I could do that." She took a piece of paper and an envelope and wrote the gender on the paper and placed it in the envelope. She handed it to us and smiled. "Do you want pictures? "

"Yes please," we both answered in unison.

"Ok. The baby looks healthy and measurements are great for 14 weeks. Have a great day and I'll see you in 3 weeks. "

As we walked back to the car we looked at the pictures. I smiled and thought that only in a few days I would know the sex of my baby. But a part of me was too anxious to wait. But I knew that I should wait until the 12th, which was in six days.

I was getting married in 6 days. I still can't believe it.

"So we're having a gender cake for the wedding? I wonder what our parents will think of that." Edward said as he took my hand and pulled out of the parking lot.

"Renee," I paused for a second to think, "Renee would like it. Your parents might like it also." I said with a smile. "Tomorrow we have to meet with the college counselor for the whole class thing."

"Bella," his velvet voice rang, "I could do only one semester. I don't want you to stay home all dya with the baby while I'm at school."

That was Edward for you. Always wanting to do what was right. I appreciated that he wanted to help take care of the baby but I wanted one of us to go to school. And if I could choose I would want Edward to go to school. Edward was going to college for pre-med and then after that another school for medicine. That's eight years of school and by that time Edward would be around 27. My profession wouldn't take as long. I wanted to become a baker but in order to become one I wanted to earn my degree in culinary management. I really wanted to open bakery.

"Babe, no. I want you to go to school. You'll be in school the longest and besides, they say that young parents who are still in school usually won't finish college before 30."

Edward stopped in our parking lot and stopped the car but continued to hold my hand. He played with my engagement ring, the small ring that Edward had gotten from his great-grandma when she passed away last November. It was a simple yet elegant ring from the last 1920s. It was a thin white gold band with a small emerald cut diamond as the only gem. Inside the band was engraved with the words 'My Love'.

"That won't be us. I know that we'll beat all those statistics that say I won't be involved in my child's life, or that we won't last, or how we'll end up with financial issues." He let go of my hand and placed it on my bump. "I know we can do it."

"I love you," I said as I began to cry. I didn't know whether it was my hormones or if it was just what Edward said to me. I leaned into him and as leaned into me and our lips slowly touched. I tried to move closer but my seatbelt stopped me. We broke apart and smiled. "I think we should go have some lunch. Come one, I'll fix us some chicken sandwiches."

As we entered the apartment I felt Edward's hand travel from my waist to my bottom. I jumped as he gave it a gentle squeeze. I looked up to him and he gave me a smirk. I cocked an eyebrow and then returned the favor. It was probably the hormones that did the next action. I pulled Edward's face to me and kissed him hard. We both moaned and were satisfied but were interrupted by the rumble of our stomachs.

"Lunch first. Sex after." I said as I walked into our kitchen. I heard my phone begin to ring so I pulled it out of my purse. I froze as a saw the name on the screen. "DAD" was on the screen. My eyes widened. Why was Charlie calling? I thought he said that he wanted nothing to do with me? Out of a quick panic I pressed 'ignore'.

"Who was that?" Edward asked with a concerned look on his face.

"Um, that was. Charlie tried to call me."

"What? Why would Charlie call us?"

"I ,I, I don't know. I ignored the call."

"Maybe he was trying to call to apologize?" Edward suggested. "Maybe he realized that his actions were rude and he wants to try to make things better?"

"Possibly, but I'm still hurts about what he said about me," I said I felt the tears come to my eyes.

"Sweetheart, don't cry," Edward said as he wrapped his arms around me. "It'll be ok."

"I'm going to lie down for a little bit. I just need some time to think." I walked out of the kitchen and down the hall to our bedroom. I wrapped myself in the soft comforter and closed my eyes.

It broke my heart to see Bella like this. I wanted to make it better for her. I decided to call Charlie. I know that if Bella knew I was going to call him she'd beg me not to but I wanted to. I grabbed my phone and quickly dialed Bella's old house. I sighed to myself as the phone rang. By the third ring there was an answer.

"Charlie? It's Edward."

"Edward?! Oh um uh, hello," he said stuttering. He obviously wasn't expecting me to call him. "How, how's Bella? Is she alright?"

"She's fine. She's 15 weeks pregnant now," I told him. I hoped that if I reminded him of the baby that he would realize why he wanted to call in the first place.

"Look, I'm sorry that reacted the way I did when you two told me about the baby and the wedding. I was just so angry at myself. I was also angry that my little girl was growing up. Bella become so distant from me after Renee and I split up and even more after Renee moved to Phoenix and then to Jacksonville. When she started going out with you I felt like she didn't need me anymore. Then when I heard that you were having baby and getting married I felt like Bella was moving on completely. I was afraid also that you and Bella would end up like me and Renee, rushed into marriage, a baby, and a divorce soon afterward. But Renee and I knew each other only for a few months whereas you and here have known each other since kindergarten, and have been best friends ever since. I now realize that you two will be ok."

I was shocked at what he said. He thought that I was taking Bella away from him completely? I would never keep Bella from her family.

"Wow Charlie, really? I would never take Bella away from you or Renee. You are the only parents she'll ever have and she'll never forget that," I sighed, "I don't know if I should tell you this but when Bella and I were 15 Bella told me that felt like Renee was becoming distant from her when she moved to Arizona and Florida and got remarried. She said that she felt like she was to blame for the divorce because she was born not long after you got married. She felt like she caused Renee to realize that she rushed into marriage and that she moved away because of her," Bella told me to never tell anyone this when we were 15. She didn't tell anyone, not Alice or Rosalie or Angela.

"What? She thought that she was to blame? She was never to blame. Renee and I never regretted having Bella at least even once. Although we do regret rushing into marriage we loved Bella from the start. Especially Renee, she told me that she always wanted to be a mom and was happy every moment that she was pregnant. Where is Bella anyway? Can I talk to her?" he then asked. I was relieved to known that Charlie didn't want Bella to feel blame for her parent's divorce.

"Bella is taking a nap. She told me that she needed some time to think after seeing that you called. She steel feels that you hate her and the baby. She doesn't even know that I'm calling you."

"She doesn't? Well, could you try to talk to her and tell her that I love her and that I love my grandchild," I heard him say in a muffled voice. Was he crying?

"I will. She just wants everything to be ok."

"And Edward, I'm glad she has someone like you."

Oh my God. I'm sorry it took me a while to update. I had set build and rehearsal for my school's fall play and then I had to study for exams (which I all got 92-97 on). Plus I had to work on some stuff for English class but it all paid off because I got a 3.9 for the semester :)
