Bella's POV

"Emmett can you please not say anything to anybody quite yet? I don't want to ruin Rose's birthday." I asked.

"She's- They are all going to want to know Bella."

"Let me tell them on my own." I asked.

"It's your decision little sister. I'm always going to be here for you." Emmett leaned down and placed a kiss on my head.

"Thank you. Now let's get moving! I don't want to mis Rosalie covered in champagne!" Emmett opened me the door to his car and we were on our way to his and Rose's house.

"How did you make it so that Rose would be out of the house? Shouldn't you be the one out with her?"

"Her cousin Amber was able to fly in so they are spending the whole day out. She's to have her home by four."

I looked at the dashboard- 3:20

"Oh we still have time then." I smiled. "Do you want to go buy Rose her present. I kind of ruined the shopping trip earlier." I knew he would not blame me but I still felt guilty.

"Don't worry about it. I went while you got ready." He beamed a smile my why causing us both to laugh.

"You are still a big goof you know that." I said ruffling his hair.

"You still love me though."

"True." I acknowledged.

Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and I gathered around the bar near the patio door waiting for Rose and Amber to show up.

'Buzz bzzz buzz'

"Answer it! Maybe its Amber!" Alice yelled.

"Hello….Aha… yea… aha… okay… aha…. Great! Amber said they are around the corner." Emmett updated us.

"Like aha." Alice and I mocked triggering everyone to laugh at Emmett.

"Haha very funny." Emmett tried putting on a straight face but laughed along with us too.

"Get the Champaign!" I ran into the kitchen with Alice and grabbed two bottles.

"Shhh! Ready!" I cheered.

"She's going to kill us for ruining her look today." Emmett looked alarmed but it was obvious he was dying to drench Rose in champaign.

"You aren't going to be complaining once you get to lick it off of her." Alice pointed out.

"True." Emmett agreed. Jasper and I just shook our heads.

"She's coming!"

Once the door opened we popped the bottles open and started drenching both Amber and Rose.

"Congratulations!"

"Happy birthday!"

"Happy 25th!"

We all looked at Rose who was staring daggers at each of us.

"Rose?" I dared ask.

"You just ruined my new coat!" She fumed. "But since it's my birthday and this is such a fun way to start my celebration- Thanks So much!" Rose started giving everyone hugs and we all walked back to the bar.

"Hey. I'm going to head into a quick shower and I'll be right down." Rose and Emmett disappeared into the hallway. We all knew that she would be getting her 'gift' from Emmett.

"So how was your day? Did Rose suspect anything?" Jasper asked Amber.

"No." She said after sucking on a lemon. "She honestly thought it was just a day for us. She was planning on asking all of us to dinner tonight." She finished.

"That's good. We had the chef from her favorite restaurant prepare the food. He's probably preparing it right now." Alice served everyone a drink.

I stared blankly at mine and realized I could not drink.

The chef sent out appetizers while we waited for the dinner to be served.

"Bella are you alright?" Alice asked.

"Yea I'm fine. Why?" I asked confused.

"Nothing. It just seems like you have something on your mind as if you were hiding something." Alice was always good at reading me. On the other hand, maybe I was just too obvious.

"No. I'm just hungry." I said.

We chatted about each other's gifts for Rose and all the games we had planned for her. She loved playing games but somehow each game involved alcohol. I would have to find a way to avoid it.

"Birthday girl is back!" Rose announced. She had changed into a strapless top and a wide waistband mini skirt.

"You look fabulous!" Alice gushed.

"You always look great." I added.

"Wow! I hadn't seen all the decorations that were up. I'm assuming that Alice had a hand in this."

"Who better than Alice right! No offense Bella." Emmett reasoned.

"None taken." I laughed.

Emmett had stepped out leaving Rose to show off her ruby bracelet.

We all gave her our gifts although she wasn't to open them until later.

"Dinner is ready." A waiter announced.

"We are waiting for my husband." Rose explained. "Oh he's here." Emmett walked through the door carrying a grocery bag.

We walked to their dinning room and sat down. The waiter's served each of us our plates and drinks.

A champagne flute was placed in front of me as well as a wine glass.

"This wine is delicious!" Jasper came from a more sophisticated family so every time he had wine, he 'savored' it.

Everyone took a sip and complemented it as well.

"Bella aren't you going to try it?" Alice asked.

"Ughh…" What was my excuse?

"Try it Bella. It's delicious." Emmett approved.

He knew I was pregnant. Why would he want me to drink?

"Try it. Trust me its good." He gave me a wink and smiled.

I brought the glass up to my lips just to brush along the wine.

Grape juice.

I smiled and looked at Emmett.

"It's good isn't it?" he raised his glass to the air.

"It is." I raised mine as well and clinked it with his.

I was half way through my dinner when I felt it coming back up.

Luckily, it was a gag reflex and nothing more.

I took a sip of my 'wine' and placed my silverware on my plate for the waiter to take.

"Who's ready for dessert?" Emmett leaned back on his chair and padded his stomach.

Thinking of more food upset me. I had not realized that my previous nausea was due to my pregnancy. Now that I knew I was pregnant, I was more aware of all rejections I felt towards food.

"Not now!" Amber scolded.

We moved into their game room and waited for Rose to open her gifts.

Alice had gotten Rose Prada boots and a Gucci bag. My gift wasn't as extravagant. I had gotten her a Tiffany Teardrop Necklace with her birthstone.

"Thank you it's beautiful."

I nodded and sipped my juice.

"Game time." Alice took her heels off and threw pillows on the ground.

"I think I'm going to go home." I stood up and grabbed my purse off the couch but was pulled down by Alice.

"Why are you going so soon?" She questioned.

"I'm… I'm just not in the mood to drink, Alice."

"You won't have to drink…. Much." she spun around and started serving the shots.

"Alice." I complained.

"Come on Bella! Don't be a party pooper!" Rose handed me a shot of tequila. I set it back on the table and sat down.

"Bella can I talk to you for a minute?" Emmett gestured towards the kitchen and waited for me to rise and follow.

"Bella, you are not drinking tonight. Not real alcohol anyways." He pulled out a beer from the refrigerator and a juice carton.

"What are you doing?" I had a thought of what he might do but it wasn't very clever.

"Apple juice. We just have to dilute it enough so that it looks like beer." He poured out the actual beer and grabbed a funnel to pour the juice into the bottle.

"A bit more water don't you think?" Emmett asked. "Perfect."

"This isn't going to work." I persisted.

"Sure it is." He gave me the bottle and walked back into the game room.

"Whoa!" Alice yelled out when she saw Emmett and me entering.

"Birthday girl goes first!" Rose exclaimed.

We started playing poker and each time someone won, they'd take a shot depending on the cards they held.

Alice Rose and Amber were really into this, Alice was standing on the pool table dancing. Rose and Amber were mixing drinks.

I grabbed my things and walked to the door. Emmett gave me a knowing look and let me through.

----

Instead of heading for my apartment, I went over to Edwards. I hadn't been there since he had left. I had gone back to clean things up but not to spend the night. I walked straight for his bedroom and sat on the bed. I held onto the necklace he had given me and wondered if he had seen the one I placed in his luggage. Everything was the same except that it felt cold. The room didn't have that warm and charming feel it had when Edward was here. It held that feeling even when he wasn't here and I'd be waiting for him but now it was just empty and hollow. I looked around the room and walked to the closet. He hadn't taken all of his clothes since he said he'd be coming back.

I grabbed my bottom pj's and one of Edward's tops.

I walked into the bathroom and turned on the showerhead. I brushed my teeth and walked into the shower. The warm water hitting my lower back felt nice.

Here in the shower was where Edward and I began our last night together.

I was aware I didn't have a big baby bump although looking at it now aware of my condition; I could see a small bump. If I hadn't found out I was pregnant I would have assumed I was gaining tummy and weight from all the eating I was doing. My period was irregular so I missing my period wasn't anything abnormal.

I turned the heat of the water a bit higher and finished my shower.

After dressing, I fluffed up the bed's pillows and switched the flat screen on. I flipped through channels and let it land on a cooking show.

The TV wasn't getting much of my attention. All I could think about was Edward. He had promised to be back in three months and marry me.

I was starting to lose hope.

It wasn't like him not to call. I had given him a week, maybe he needed to get setteled in or he was maybe baffled by the city. Even then, he should have called.

I wished and hoped with every ounce in me for him to return. I didn't want to be a single mother without having to. I had respect for single mothers. They did what was at their reach for their children. They were strong and independent. I however, relied on Edward a lot.

I turned off the TV and closed my eyes. Trying to fall asleep, I clutched onto the pillow with Edward's scent.

(A/N) SO I finally updated! I apologize for not doing so earlier!!

From here on I am going to include a few of Edward's Pov's but not much. I have more plans for Bella's side. He will have his side too but not as much as Bella. I hope that's alright.

**Please Review!!
