* Hey everyone! Let's go see what Edward & Bella are up to! They obviously have a LOT to talk about. So here we go!

Bella couldn't believe it.

Edward was here. In Albuquerque! Albuquerque, for Christ's sake! The one place he should never be, but here he was, staring at her stomach.

" You're…you're…", stammered Edward, pointing towards her stomach.

" Pregnant? I know", Bella said, feeling slightly uncomfortable telling him.

" So is that why you left?", Edward asked in a strained voice.

Bella felt tears come to her eyes at the look of pain on Edward's face.

" Yes", sighed Bella, sinking into a chair.

" And you couldn't tell me?", Edward demanded.

" What was there to tell?", retorted Bella.

" Everything!", snapped Edward.

" I didn't want to hurt you", Bella told Edward, shaking her head slightly.

" I can take the rain on the roof

Of this empty house

That don't bother me

I can take a few tears now and then

And just let 'em out

I'm not afraid to cry

Every once in a while

Even though goin' on

With you gone

Still upsets me

There are days

Every now and again

I pretend I'm okay

But that's not what gets me

What hurts the most

Was being so close

And having so much to say

And watching you walk away

And never knowing

What could've been

And not seeing that loving you

Was what I was trying to do

It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you

Everywhere I go

But I'm doin' it

It's hard to force that smile

When I see our old friends and I'm alone

Still harder getting up, getting dressed, living with this regret

But I know if I could do it over

I would trade

Give away all the words that I saved in my heart

That I left unspoken

What hurts the most

Was being so close

And having so much to say

And watching you walk away

And never knowing

What could've been

And not seeing that loving you

Was what I was trying to do",

Edward sang to Bella with tears in his eyes.

Bella felt the tears pour from her. She felt wretched.

" Story of my life

Searching for the right

But it keeps avoiding me

Sorrow in my soul

'Cause it seems that wrong

Really loves my company

You're more than a man

And this is more than love

The reason that the sky is blue

The clouds are rolling in

Because I'm gone again

And to you I can't be true

And I know that you know that I was unfaithful

And it killed you inside

To know I'm happy with some other guy

I can see you dying

I don't want to do this anymore

I don't want to be the reason why

Every time I walk out the door

I see you die a little more inside

I don't want to hurt you anymore

I don't want to take away your life

I don't want to be a murderer",

Bella sang to Edward, going up to him and making him look at her.

" Does that mean-?", Edward began to ask, liquid topaz eyes wide.

" Yes, Edward, I'm done living a lie. I want to go home with you. To Forks", Bella replied, wrapping her arms around Edward's neck.

Edward bent down and captured her mouth in a heart-stopping kiss. For the first time in nearly seven months, Bella felt happy and sure about her future. Now that Edward was here, there was no reason for her life to be difficult.

Edward pulled back and asked her, " What about Jacob?".

Bella didn't find it surprising that Edward knew she was with Jacob. " I'll tell him you've come to town and I want to go home with you. I'll let him know when the baby is born, of course, and find some way to get him to Forks to see the baby. I'm guessing you know that the baby is Jacob's, right?", Bella answered.

" He told me just as much on the phone", Edward replied.

" Phone? Jake didn't-", began Bella, eyes wide.

" Yes, he did. He called me about a couple days ago, saying that you were in Albuquerque at this address and that I needed to go see you", Edward told her.

" I can't believe Jake did this behind my back! He really is a great friend", commented Bella with a shake of her head.

" If I'm happy about anything, it's how good he's treated you these past couple months", agreed Edward.

" So you're not angry that I cheated on you and got pregnant with him?", Bella asked Edward.

" Like hell I am, but I'm just too happy that you're okay and coming home with me to really let it show", answered Edward.

Bella laughed and hugged Edward, saying, " Well, I'm glad about that. The happy part, not the angry part".

" I love you, Isabella Marie Swan", Edward murmured into her hair.

" And I'm not the only one who loves you, too", Bella pointed out, as the baby began kicking really fast.

" I can see that", chuckled Edward, laying his hands on Bella's stomach and smiling before saying, " It's a girl and she loves you as fiercely as I do".

" That's good to know", stated Bella with a smile at both her stomach and Edward.

" Come on, let's go pack your bags", Edward said excitedly, taking Bella's hand and pulling her toward the stairs.

" Let's wait 'til Jake gets back to leave, okay?", Bella asked Edward.

" Whatever you want, my love", Edward said, turning back to kiss Bella again.

" I just don't want to leave until I've told both him and his father thanks for being so kind to me these past few months", Bella explained.

" That sounds reasonable", Edward agreed.

" So I guess we should catch up now. Tell me how your family's doing?", asked Bella.

" They're here", Edward told Bella.

" They are? Carlisle, Esme, and Jasper? They're all here?", cried Bella excitedly.

" Yes. They're staying in a hotel not far from here", explained Edward.

" I can't wait to see them. I've missed them so much", Bella replied.

" They've missed you, too. Speaking of them, I should probably call them and let them know the plan, okay?", said Edward and pulled out his cell phone.

" Okay", Bella said with a smile as Edward dialed a number and put it to his ear, waiting.

" Jasper? Hey, I found her… Yes, she's okay. She's pregnant… I'll explain later. Where's Carlisle & Esme?… Well, tell them when they get back that I've found her and she's coming home with us… Okay, I'll tell her. Jasper says 'hi'", Edward spoke into the phone.

" Tell him I say 'hi' back", Bella told him, remembering Edward's blonde brother.

" She says 'hi' back…Okay. Call you later", Edward said to Jasper and then hung up.

" So what's up with him?", asked Bella.

" Oh, the usual. Trying his hardest to stick to our rules. He's been better, though", Edward told Bella.

" That's good", Bella responded, remembering how hard it was for Jasper to stick to a diet of animal blood.

" So when are Jacob and his father coming back?", Edward asked casually.

" Billy has been helping to set up some event at the local church and I think Jacob probably won't be back until tomorrow morning at the latest. Why? Got something planned?", asked Bella.

" Eh, just something I've been meaning to do for a long time", Edward replied with a smile, then lifted Bella into his arms and carried her bridal-style up the stairs.

All Bella could do was smile. This was probably the best day ever! And it was all thanks to Jacob.
