Bella's POV

Once we got to the restaurant, everyone ordered their food and started eating as soon as it arrived. I was hungry and the food tasted very appetizing. What I did not dare touch was the garlic bread. It was making my stomach churn.

I wanted to make my announcement but I didn't know how to start.

"I have to tell you all something." I tried starting.

When everyone stopped eating and averted their attention to me, I felt my blood reach my face.

Emmett was calm and was letting me speak.

"What is it Bella?" Alice asked.

"You know how Edward has been gone for almost two months now?" I looked up and saw puzzled expressions.

"Yes." they answered.

"Well, the night before he left Edward and I spent it together." maybe they would figure it out if I hinted.

"That's great sweaty. Is there something about that night that bothers you?" Rose asked.

"That was seven weeks ago. I'm seven weeks along."

"Along what?" Jasper asked confused.

"Oh my goodness!" Alice clasped her mouth and darted out of her chair towards me.

"You're pregnant!" She hugged me and laughed.

"Bella your pregnant aren't you!" She squealed.

"Are you?" Rose and Jasper asked.

"Yes, I'm having Edward's baby." I answered.

Rose and Alice both screamed simultaneously causing the other guests to look in our direction.

"Oh my goodness! Bella you're going to be a mommy!" Alice and Rose took turns hugging me and rubbing my tummy, although there wasn't much to rub. Jasper got up and gave me a hug as well. They congratulated me as well as the other guests who overheard.

"Emmett did you know?!" Rose and everyone else were staring at him in astonishment.

"Of course I knew! I'm the uncle!" He answered proudly. Rose smacked him while Alice gave me a saddened expression.

"What's wrong Alice?" I asked.

"You didn't tell me first. How could you not tell me Bella? I've been your best friend since birth." Her lips quivered and her eyes got sadder.

"Alice I would have told you first. If I had been aware of the possibility of being pregnant."

"How did you find out then?" she asked.

"We were shopping for Rose's birthday gift when she blacked out. She was taken to the hospital where the doctor took some tests that indicated she was pregnant and confirmed it." Emmett answered for me.

I nodded at his explanation and looked at Alice who seemed to understand.

"He happened to be there when the doctor told me."

"Why didn't you tell us when you found out?" Rose asked.

"It was your birthday. It was your day not mine." I answered.

"So! Bella that would have been the greatest news! We could have celebrated it too! Bella you are too kind." She laughed.

"I'm glad you know now. It's easier having you all know that I'm pregnant. Alice I'm sorry, but those skintight shirts you bought me…. Got to go!" I added as a joke.

She rolled her eyes and called the waiter over.

She was ordering margarita's for everyone when she and Rose suddenly turned towards me and started glaring at me.

"Why were you drinking at Rose's party?!" They questioned.

I don't know why, but all of a sudden, they intimidated me.

"Agh… It wasn't real." I was able to say.

"What do you mean it wasn't real? You finished your whole wine glass." Alice looked angry.

"Grape juice! I thought of it!" We faced Emmett who was still gulping down his lunch.

Rose smacked Emmett on the back causing him to choke on his food. He reached for my glass of water and chugged it.

"He was trying to help. I have to admit it worked." I tried adding for my brother's defense.

"You should have told us Bella. We would have loved to find out sooner." Rose said.

"I am so happy for you. What am I saying! I am damn thrilled! We could go shopping for baby clothes and cribs, little shoes, and decorate the apartment! Bella! I'm so excited!" Alice was jumping in her seat causing me to laugh and get as excited.

I was excited about my pregnancy but I was more thrilled now that I could share it with the girls. Now that they knew about it, it would be easier for me and we could have a lot of fun shopping as Alice had said.

"Isn't the apartment too small Bella. I mean it has only two bedrooms and the living room area isn't very big." Jasper was right.

"I'd like to buy a house. Something big with a yard so that when the baby grows up he or she can play."

"You don't know what it is yet, do you?" Rose asked.

"No, not yet." I answered.

"And me?" Alice asked.

"What? Oh the house? Alice you are definitely coming with me! Well, if you want to."

"Of course I want to!" She squealed.

"What kind of house are you looking for?" Rose asked. She was a realtor agent and was the person I had in mind for this.

"Something big. Big kitchen, big living room area, four bedrooms preferably, and a big back yard. Something near by; I don't want to have to drive twenty minutes to get to town." I had other factors I wanted to add to my list but I'd go over them later with her.

"Why four bedrooms. Isn't that a little too big for your first home?" Emmett asked.

"For now it will be Alice and I then later I want the baby to have his/her own nursery. And a guest bedroom or a work place for Alice."

"Play room! We can make a play room for the baby." Alice chimed in.

"I know that one day Alice will move out and get married," I said, looking at Alice and to Jasper. "And when that happens I want my child to grow up in a nice home that will be familiar and warm."

"How are you going to pay a house all on your own?" Emmett was talking seriously now.

"Mine and Alice's online store is doing great right now and since I have been paying my own way through college, I still have the college fund my parents granted me untouched." I explained.

"When would you like to move?" Rose asked.

"I want to be settled before the baby gets here so that I can move and arrange things easily."

"Then I will get to that ASAP!" Rose stated.

----

I wanted Edward to find out about our baby but I had no way of knowing where he was. After letting my friends know about the pregnancy it was time Edward did too.

I was driving to his parents' house, 45 minutes away from where I lived. There weren't any cars outside so my hopes of them being home were diminished.

I walked up to their front door and peeked through the side windows. I rang the doorbell with no hope of anyone answering but someone opened the door.

Edward's housekeeper.

"Hi, are the Cullen's' back from their trip?" I asked nervously.

"No Miss, they aren't back and last time I spoke with Mrs. Cullen she didn't say if they were." Her words stung. Why wouldn't they come back?

"When was the last time you spoke to her?" I was starting to quiver and panic.

"If I may ask, are you a relative of the Cullen's'?" She asked.

"No, I'm… Edward's girlfriend, Bella." if I still was for that matter because more, I surely wasn't.

"Miss. Bella I did hear them talking very nice things about you. The last time I spoke with her was not long ago. About two weeks ago." Two weeks! They had called recently. Why didn't Edward call me? What happened? Why did they call an empty house but not me?

"Was Edward with them? Is he all right? Where are they?" she seemed alarmed but seemed to understand my anxiety.

"Why don't you come in? I will make you a tea." I wanted to go in the house to see it and remember it again.

When I walked in, it felt so familiar but strange. On the walls, I could see pictures of Edward with his parents. Pictures of him as a child and one of Edward and me on my prom night.

As the housekeeper prepared the tea, I wondered into Edward's room. I hadn't been in the house since they had Carlisle's doctor appreciation ball- four months ago.

His bedroom was childlike still. His baseball trophies on the side of his bed and his soccer and track medals on the wall.

I found a picture album near his TV set. I flipped through it and found every picture we had ever taken.

"Your tea." I looked up and saw Mable. I remembered Edward once saying his housekeeper was Mable. Maybe it was, I just wasn't sure.

"Thank you." I set the album down and walked back downstairs to the living room.

"Did Esme tell you where they were and why they are away?" I asked. Maybe she knew more than I did.

"All I know is that they are with family. I don't know more. I'm sorry."

"It alright. Do you know anything about Edward? Anything at all?" Please! She had to know!

"No. I'm sorry." I sighed in disappointment.

"When Esme called, did she leave a number?" I asked optimistically.

"Yes, she gave me a number incase something came up with the house or if I needed something." She seemed pleased to know it.

"Would you mind giving it to me. I really need to get in touch with Edward." I pleaded.

"If you will excuse me Miss, I will go look for it." She placed her cup of tea down and rushed towards the kitchen.

I would call him and let him know about our baby. He could come home and we could get married. For the family that we always talked about.

"Here it is mis." She handed me a small note with numbers on it.

"Thank you so much. You have no idea how much this mans to me." I gave her a hug and ran to the door.

I never liked speeding but I exceeded the limit all the way home.

I had plans on calling Edward as soon as I arrived.

I was going to speak to him. I would tell him about the baby then I would yell at him for not calling.

I parked the car in the apartment garage and waited until the elevator arrived on my floor.

I slammed the door shut once I got inside and noticed everyone on the couch hovering over Rose and her laptop.

"Hi!" I greeted everyone with a wave and was about to run for my room but Emmett picked me up and placed me on the couch.

"I'm sort of busy, can't this can wait?" I tried getting up but Rose placed her laptop on me.

"I found these houses that you might like. This one is two stories four bedrooms, 3½ baths, a study room and a huge kitchen and backyard area." Rose skipped through some images and showed me another one.

"You seem jittery little sis. You alright?" Emmett asked.

"Yes. I have something to do though."

"What is it?" Alice asked.

"I drove to the Cullen's house." I said guilty. Emmett hadn't wanted me to go alone, afraid I would be disappointed.

"Why did you go there? Are they back?!" Alice asked excitedly.

"No." I said disappointed. "Esme called their house keeper, she left her a number to call incase something comes up. She gave it to me." I took the little note out from my pocket and stared at it.

The room was quite for a minute as everyone stared at the note.

Jasper smiled as he handed me the phone.

I looked around to everyone and took a deep breath.

With shaky hands and a heart filled with faith, I dialed.

I could feel the butterflies I felt like when I was with Edward.

Emmett squeezed my cheek and smiled.

"It's ringing!" I announced. I switched the phone to speaker so that everyone could hear.

"Hello?" A women's voice answered. Probably the house cleaner or something.

"Yes, is this Edward Cullen's number? Is he there?" I asked. I was shaky, nervous and excited. I could feel my heart pounding.

"Yes but he isn't available right now; he's in the shower." she replied.

I looked up and saw Rose with disbelief on her face.

"Who am I speaking to?" Rose asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Jane Volturi, soon to be Jane Cullen- Edward's fiancé."
