Disclaimer: To my own disbelief and pure greediness, I sadly don't own Twilight/New Moon characters, Miss Stephenie Meyer does.
"Mommy, why did we stop?" Madeline asked.
I started to get out of the car, helping Madeline and Mason out of their seats, they ran to the door as I grabbed my purse, Charlie had already answered the door, hugging the two kids.
Holding Madeline and walking with Mason, he came up behind me as I was trying to reach my purse from the back.
"Hey Bells," he said, I gave a little scream, he had scared me. I finally got my purse then turned around to hug Charlie.
"Hey Dad, it's good to see you." I smiled.
"I'm glad you visited, it's my day off." He smiled.
"I know, I saw the cruiser, so how are you?"
"I'm great, and how are you? I mean, it's not like I was excited having the receptionist at work tell me my own daughter was pregnant again, oh no." He added sarcastically as he looked down to see my pregnant stomach.
"Well Dad, " we started walking in toward the house, he set down Madeline and then picked up Mason, we went and sat in the kitchen, "I just wanted to make it past the 3 month mark and check-up before anyone found out."
"Oh I guess, besides I didn't tell anyone, and she felt guilty telling me, seeing as I didn't already know. But she said all the Quileute wives and girlfriends knew."
"Dad, I can explain, Jake accidentally told Sam who told Emily, who told everyone, they promised not to say anything till I found it an appropriate time." I added a smile.
"Oh I see, yea, well after the last incident…" He smiled, "But hey, another baby. Man, did you find out the sex?"
I laughed, "Yea, another accident, but it's a girl." He smiled.
"Oh good, and everything's going all well?" He asked as he looked concerned.
"Oh yea Charlie, I mean I even got Dr. Cullen as my doctor, which is totally fortunate."
Charlie started to look furious, "You mean Edward is your doctor? Bella that is…"
I stopped him, "No Charlie, of course not Carlisle is my doctor. Why did you think Edward?"
"Oh… well I heard he was working to be a doctor…I guess I got confused."
I nodded, "Yes, you must have been, I mean… wow" I laughed.
My mind started to wander… Edward was becoming a doctor? With his brains, and his age in vampire years, he could be the best 'youngest' doctor out there.
Madeline and Mason were fooling around in the living room, as I talked with Charlie, I finally realized the time, as I grabbed all of our coats and headed for the car. Charlie followed us out, helping the kids as I went to start the car. He came to my side and gave me a kiss on the cheek, then went to the back to kiss Madeline and Mason.
We hurried home as I sent the two kids up to play as I made a quick dinner. Jake came home earlier than usual, so after dinner we watched a movie, and then sent the kids up to bed. Thanksgiving consisted of dinner all the Quileute tribe members and their families, all at Emily and Sam's house, I of course invited Charlie though.
Monday rolled around quickly, as I got the kids fed and rushed them off to school. I spent the day cleaning the house, with some difficulty of my now rapidly growing stomach. The clock tolled in the background, 2:45pm, so I headed off to pick up Madeline and Mason.
I arrived just on time, to go walk and wait under the tree, of course Cheryl and the other PTA mothers came and found me.
I had done an excellent job at hiding my pregnancy, my black trench coat though, was giving out to my almost 5-month stomach.
"Hello Bella, I heard you were having a baby!" Cheryl came up to me, hugging. She finally stopped then joined the other mothers, who all had a huge smile on their faces.
"Congratulations," they all said, smiling again.
I smiled, "Uh… yea." Was all I could say, "I guess I'm showing a little, aren't I?"
Cheryl laughed, "Oh no, my sister is the new receptionist at the hospital ,Whitney, and she was saying how lucky you were to have Dr. Cullen as your doctor, seeing as he almost never delivers babies."
I smiled but that was just to hide my frown and growl, "Uh yes well he is a family friend of mine and when he heard the news, he just stepped in."
"Oh I see," Cheryl added. "Well Bella, you do look great, but what is your secret, you still look like you were in high school!"
All the other mothers awed and smiled, adding "yes's" and "I know's".
I smiled, "I don't know, but it's almost annoying when you have a husband who looks 30 and I still look 18."
It was true, as much as I hated but loved denying it. Jake still looked 30, and I still looked 18. I hadn't aged, at all; I still had the same face, same body as a high school girl. So many times, young boys mistake me for being in high school, but then they look down to see my wedding ring and two children at my side. So many times people commented on how young I look, and would compare my graduation picture to myself and see no difference. Charlie even noticed, but I was now 28, and still looked 18.
The bell rang and I felt like I was back in school, I quickly jumped and my eyes headed for the door, the other mothers actually walked to the door, as I stayed in place.
Madeline and Mason came out together; I hugged and kissed them both, as I walked them to the car.
