Week 21-March 16
Edward POV
Things were finally beginning to go back to normal. Well, as normal as things could be. Moving day was fast approaching so there were boxes scattered all around the house. Bella was getting bigger and bigger every day and Rosalie would be coming home soon.
For the first time in months I could actually see things working out. Bella and I had been secretly going out for almost three months now and we were doing really well. I can honestly say that Bella is the nicest most kind hearted girl I have ever met, and I think it's safe to say that I'm really falling in love with her. I don't care about her past, if anything it makes me love her more. Bella deserves only the best, and I think that I can give it to her.
The only thing that was getting me down was the fact that she insisted on keeping it a secret. She was petrified that if mom and dad found out they would be angry at her.
"They'd send me away Edward. They'd say I'm a bad influence." My arms were wrapped around her and her face was buried in my chest.
"Bella, if we just tell them they'd be less likely to be upset then if they found out on their own."
"I can't do it." She frowned. "And to be honest I kind of like the secrecy thing. It's sort of dangerous." A small smile formed across her thin lips.
"How about I tell Dad and you tell Mom?" I suggested.
She frowned again. "I don't--"
"Bella, listen, I love you so much, but I won't sleep with you until our family knows that we are dating. It just doesn't seem right."
Her face dropped and she pulled away from me. "What?"
"It has nothing to do with you. I love you so much but I don't like doing things behind my parent's back."
She sighed, "Fine. I'll tell Esme and you tell Carlisle."
I kissed her lightly on the lips. "Thanks Bells. This means a lot to me." She pressed herself closer to me.
"I love you." She whispered softly in my ear. "And I you." I smiled and leaned in to kiss her again.
Bella POV
I took a deep breath then knocked on Esme's bedroom door. "Come in." She called. As I opened the door my heart started beating so fast I was surprised she couldn't hear it.
"Esme." I said very seriously, "There is something I need to tell you." I closed the door and sat down on the end of her bed.
"What?" She asked, "Bella is everything okay? Did something happen?" Her eyes were wide and her face was full of worry.
"I'm okay. But there is something you need to know." I folded my hands in my lap. "Esme, I've been dating someone for almost three months now. I know you probably think it's bad for me to be dating, but I'm really in love with this guy, and he's so amazing and I know he's a good guy and I just know you would love him."
"Bella, why did you feel like you needed to hide this from me?" Esme looked a little bit hurt.
"Because. I was scared." It was barely a whisper.
"Why would you be scared?"
"It's Edward."
"What?"
"I've been dating Edward." I looked up slowly, gauging her reaction.
"W-w-hat? Like, your brother Edward?"
"He's not really my brother Esme. And I really love him, and he really loves me. He's the sweetest guy I've ever met."
"I just don't know what to think..."
"Just don't be mad at Edward, alright."
"I'm not mad..." She said slowly, "I'm just shocked. It'll take some time to get used to."
"Please just give us a chance. Edward is really good for me."
"Bella I really don't know if this is a good idea."
"But it is." I insisted. "I know in my gut that this is the best thing for me. And I'm going to continue dating Edward, whether you approve or not." My voice was starting to sound defensive. "Just please, please give us a chance."
Esme was silent for what felt like forever. "Fine." She said finally. "Does Carlisle know?" She asked.
"Edward is telling him." I assured her.
"I'll have to discuss this with him." She told me.
"Of course." I nodded, "Thank you for giving it a chance though." I wrapped my arms around her and held her tight.
"You're welcome." She said, hugging me back.
Edward POV
I have no clue how dad is going to react. I've mentally prepared my self for the worst as I knock on his office door.
"Come in!" He called. I cautiously opened the door and then lightly shut it behind me. "Well Edward, what can I do for you."
I took a deep breath and sat down on one of his chairs. "Dad, there is something you need to know. And before you say anything just hear me out." I took another deep breath, "Dad, a couple months ago this amazing girl came into my life. She is a little bit troubled, but she has an amazing heart. She is so beautiful, and such an amazing person. I know that she has had her fair share of problems, but which one of us haven't? Dad, I wanted to tell you that I'm in love with Bella. And she's in love with me. We've we been dating for almost three months and I've never been happier. I hope you can understand dad, I am so madly in love with her."
"Edward...Bella is a great girl, but I don't know if this is the best thing for her right now."
"I think you're wrong. Bella needs someone to be there for her and to love her, and I can be that someone."
"Well...does, uh, mom know?"
"Bella's telling her."
"Edward, I hope you guys know what you're doing."
"We do dad. We love each other. We can't help it."
"I'll have to talk to mom, and of course there will have to be rules."
I nodded. "Thank you dad, for understanding. It means a lot to me."
"I hope you guys can be happy. And I hope you're doing this for the right reasons. I know you want to take care of Bella, and thats great, but it's not your job to care for her. Your job is to go out and get an education and start your own life. It's your mother and my job to make sure that Bella gets the help she needs."
"I know that dad. But I'm not dating her because I feel sorry for her. I'm dating her because I really love her."
"I hope so Edward. For your sake and for hers I really truly hope so."
I stood up. "Thanks dad."
Bella's POV (later on in the week)
"So, that wasn't as bad as I had thought it would be." Edward laughed. We were sitting in the living room and Carlisle and Esme had just finished talking to us about the dating thing.
"So," Carlisle had began, "Your mother and I have thought about it for a while now, and we agree that the two of you are allowed to date,"
"But there will be some rules, and they will be enforced." Esme added sternly.
"Of course," Carlisle nodded, "You two must be respectful and responsible."
"Be considerate of the rest of us, and don't be a lovely dovey. in front of us. And you two are not to be in the same bedroom over night."
Edward and I nodded. These requests seemed pretty reasonable.
"And the biggest thing," Carlisle added, "If the two of you are to break up I don't want it to be awkward. No matter how things turn out between the two of you, you will always be in each others lives."
"That sounds fair." Edward said, holding my hand in his.
"Good." Carlisle and Esme nodded.
"Thank you so much mom and dad. This means a lot to us."
"Thanks Carlisle and Esme. It really does mean a lot." I smiled and looked up at Edward. I knew that we would never break up. I had a feeling that Edward was going to be the one who I spend the rest of my life with.
"Yeah. It was actually relatively painless." I moved closer to Edward and he lightly kissed the top of my head. I couldn't help but smile. This whole situation just felt so right.
Week 22-March 23
It was the last week before spring break and I was so excited. After this week I would never have to come back to this school again.
Things had gotten better since Angela started talking to me again, but I was still looking forward to leaving.
It was raining heavily outside and Mr Banner was droning on about something sciencey. I wasn't really paying attention though, all I was really thinking about was moving, seeing Rosalie again and of course Edward.
"Miss Swan." Mr Banner called my name, but it didn't register right away that he was talking to me. "Miss Swan!" He repeated.
"Yes sir?" I answered, looking up quickly.
"How many protons are in a copper atom?"
"Uh..." I racked my brain trying to find the answer but I was coming up blank. "I don't know." A couple kids snickered, but I did my best to ignore them.
"Miss Swan, you may only have two days left at this school, but that doesn't give you the right to slack off." The snickers became giggles.
"I'm sorry." I muttered.
Mr Banner sighed, then asked the same question to someone else. Kill me now. I mean seriously, could things get any worse.
All of a sudden I felt something flutter in my stomach. "Ahhh!" I screamed, jumping out of my chair. Every single head in the room turned to look at me. Then I felt it again.
"Somethings happening to the baby!" I cried. My hands flew to my baby bump, and then I felt it again. "I'm going to the nurse." I grabbed my bag and sprinted down the hall.
I opened the door to the office and ran straight to the nurse's office. "My baby..." I huffed, "Somethings happening to it."
The nurse came over to me and placed her hands on my belly. "There it is again!" I cried.
"Sweetheart, calm down. Nothings wrong with the baby, its just kicking." The nurse smiled. "It's completely normal."
I sniffed. "Really?"
She nodded, "You can talk to your doctor about it if you want, but trust me, it's totally normal."
I nodded weakly. "Thank you."
I really didn't feel like going back to class so I decided to take an early lunch. I put my stuff in my locker then went into the cafetiria. It was almost empty except for a few kids on spares. I bought a chocolate milk and an apple the sat down at a small table.
My heart was still racing. I tired to calm my self down, but I still wasn't convinced that everything was okay. I placed my hand on my stomach. I loved this baby girl so much. The thought of anything being wrong with her made me sick to my stomach.
The rest of the day passed quickly and as soon as I got home I called my doctor to make certain that nothing was wrong with the baby.
"She's just kicking." She assured me.
"You're positive?"
"110%" She said, "But Bella, I just want to tell you how great it is that you're concerned. You're going to make a great mom."
I sighed with relief. "Thank you."
The next day I woke up with new found energy. Today was Friday. My last day at Forks High. We would be moving on Sunday and then I could start my life over again.
Tonight would also be my last appointment with Laura. I had been seeing her for almost five months now, and I have to admit that I'm really going to miss her. She's helped me so much. She's helped me to come to terms with everything thats happened and she showed me that what happened wasn't my fault. She's helped turned me into a whole new person.
At school I emptied out my locker and collected all my assignments and documents from the office. I said good bye to Angela. I really wasn't going to miss anyone here. These people were never my real friends, and besides Angela, I'm not going to give any of them a second thought again.
After school Emmett took me to Starbucks. Laura told me that she has a weakness for hot chocolate, so I bought a variety pack of like ten different can of chocolate powder and I bought her a colorful mug.
"She'll love it." Edward told me, wrapping his arm around my shoulder.
"Mhmm." I nodded.
That night Esme dropped me off in front of Laura's office and I walked in holding the gift bag.
"Hi Bella!" Laura smiled as I walked in. I shut the door and sat down. "How are you?"
"I'm good. I'm getting excited to move."
"Yeah, I bet you are. I think this is going to be such a good thing for you."
"I'm gonna miss you though. You've helped me so much."
"You are such an amazing girl, you just needed a little direction. You did most of the work on your own though."
"Well, still, thank you." I handed her the gift bag. "To show my appreciation."
"Bella," She smiled, "You didn't have to do that."
"I wanted to." She opened the gift and a tear slid down her cheek.
"That was so thoughtful." She stood up and gave me a hug. "And I have a little something for you." She reached behind her desk and grabbed a small gift bag.
I opened it and pulled out a little pink dress and a pair of white tights. "Laura!" I gasped, "I love it! She's gonna love it!"
"You're going to be such a good mom."
I hugged her again, and this time we were both crying.
"Thank you for everything Laura." I sniffed, "It means so much. And I'll keep you updated. Expect pictures. Lots of them."
"I'd expect nothing less."
That night I sat on my bed and looked around my room. Everything I owned was in boxes. This was it. Goodbye old Bella, hello new and improved Bella. I'm getting a fresh start. I have an amazing family, a loving boyfriend and in a few months time I'll have my baby girl. Everything was perfect. At least I hoped it was. I had this feeling that something was going to go wrong, but I told my self to ignore it. Everything will be okay, right?
