"Edward, are we having a baby?"

Chapter 27: Breaking the news

(Bella POV)

I didn't wait for him to answer me, I felt my face get hot and all I saw was white. The next thing I know was that I woke up and I was in Edward's arms.

"Where are we?" I asked him.

"Bella, we're still at the hospital, you passed out," Edward told me.

"I did? I had the weirdest dream, Edward, I dreamed that you told me I was turning into a vampire, which is wonderful, but then you said we're going to have a baby. How funny is that? Vampires can't have babies," I said.

"Love, you weren't dreaming, Carlisle said that the more blood we exchange the more likely it is that you will change into a vampire, just like me, well mostly, we're still not sure how different you may or may not be. Although, Bella, I also did say that we're going to have a baby."

I smiled as I looked up at Edward. "Really?" was all I could say. Then he kissed me and smiled his crooked smile at me.

"Yeah love, you're having a baby, our baby," Edward added.

"I have to call Alice," I said as I jumped up almost too quickly. If Edward hadn't caught me, I and our baby would have fell off the bed and onto the floor.

"Still clumsy, I see," Edward said with a small laugh.

"Very funny," I said back to him as I stuck my tongue out at him. "Alice already knows, I'm sure of it Bella, that's why she called earlier, right?" he asked me.

"Kinda," I answered with a smile. "She and I never got to finish, I told her we would talk about it when we got back to your house. Can I stay tonight?" I asked with a wicked smile on my face. I couldn't wait till Edward and I were alone, well as alone you can get in a house full of vampires.

"Forever, Bella, you can move in with me if you want to. We should get married sooner rather than later," Edward said. "Besides love, your mom and dad have some big news for you too; I heard it in Carlisle's mind."

I called Alice and told her our news; I could just see her bouncing all around, in true Alice fashion. After we talked, which consisted of her telling me about our next shopping trip for new clothes for me, as mine wouldn't be fitting me much longer, we hung up and I rolled my eyes.

I stood up and wrapped my arms around the man that I loved and kissed his neck line. "Edward, can we just forget all about Jacob Black and everyone else and let it just be us for right now? Jake was trying to save me, not hurt me. He thinks he's in love with me, that's all," I told Edward.

Edward picked me up in his arms and pulled me close to his rock hard body and started to kiss me, we only broke apart when Carlisle walked back in and cleared his throat.

"Sorry, Carlisle," I said as I smiled at him and then I turned to see Edward smiling at Carlisle too

"Bella, I think that you should tell your mom and dad soon because we don't know how this whole thing will play out. With you, turning into a vampire and having a baby that is at least half vampire. They should at least know the baby part anyway," Carlisle said.

"I'm kinda scared to tell Renee and Charlie. Maybe I should call Alice and ask her how they'll react to the news," I told Edward and Carlisle.

"All will work out love, I'm always going to be here for you and our little IzzieB," Edward said.

"What do you mean Izzie B? We're going to have a little Eddie," I said knowing that Edward hated that name even when Emmett called him it. But I do hope that we have a little boy that looks just like Edward.

As we drove up to the big white Cullen house, I saw the pink and blue balloons everywhere. "Alice," I said.

"I should've known, Edward, that Alice would go too far, we just found out, what, an hour ago?" I asked him.

Edward just laughed "You know Alice," was all he said. I started to look around and saw that Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, and Esme were all here also.

How in the world could they do all this so fast? That's simple, one word, vampires. Stupid, hyper pixie that I loved as my best friend.

Edward took my hand and we walked into the house to find a cake and gifts everywhere. "Is all this for the baby?" I asked in a whisper, I knew they all could hear me anyways.

The one that I thought that would hate me the most, even more now that we, Edward and I, were having a baby would be Rosalie. But she was the first one to hug me and kiss my cheek. I almost fainted.

"Bella, I'm sorry that I have not always been the nicest person to you and well, I'm sorry. It looks like you are truly going to part of this family in more ways than one. The baby will bind you and Edward together more closely than any of the rest of us," Rose said.

I hugged her back and told her thanks.

"Bella, are you alright?" I heard someone asking but I just passed out. When I woke up, I was in Edward's bed.

I had longed to be in his bed all day, in his arms. "Edward, are you here?" I called out but no one answered. I pulled myself upright and looked at my cell phone and saw that it was getting pretty late and that I should call mom and dad if I was going to stay here tonight.

I dialed my home number and it went to voice mail .Wonderful, where could they be? I bet they are still down in LaPush at Billy and Jake's place.

I didn't want to call there but dad did have a cell and mom never remembered to charge hers so I would have to call the house.

The phone rang and a deep husky voice answered, I knew it was Jacob.

"Hey, Jake, can I talk to my mom, please?"

"Bells, we need to talk about what happened here today. You have to know that I would never hurt you, right? Bells, I'm in love with you, you are all I want and you have to tell me that Edward or anyone of those blood sucking leaches are going to bite you," Jake said.

I was getting angrier with each word coming out of his mouth. "Jake, please, just get my mom," I repeated.

"Bells, please," Jake said.

"Jacob, just like I told you before, Edward and I are together. It will be forever, he asked me to marry him and I said yes. Do you understand? Now we are even more connected than ever. Jacob, please, get my mother on the phone so I can tell her that I am staying here tonight, with Alice of course," I added.

"FINE BELLS, What–EVER, I just hope you know if you lay down with a leech you just might get drained," Jacob said, then he must have handed the phone off.

"Hello, Bells, is that you? Why did you run away from here today, your mother and I were worried about you." Great, now Jake has put his spin on things.

"Dad, Jake and I had a fight. I called Alice and we went shopping and went to see Carlisle and stuff, so I'm going to stay here with her tonight, alright?" I was more telling then asking but still.

"Bells, is Edward there?" Dad asked. "Yeah, dad, (now was the best time if there ever was one) can you and mom stop by here before you go home, I need to talk to you and mom."

"All right Bells, we'll be over there very soon," Dad said and then hung up.

"Edward, are you here?" I called.

"Bella, honey, may I come in?" It was Rosalie.

"Sure," I said, not sure why she wanted to see me.

"Bella, Edward and the others have all gone out hunting. Alice said that your mom and dad are coming over tonight," Rose said. Then she smiled at me.

"Bella, can you feel the baby yet?" She asked.

"I don't think I can, but I'm not sure. I have been feeling a lot of different thing as of late, with Edward and me trading blood and all," I told her.

"You and Edward were trading blood? How does that work?" Rosalie asked.

"Easy, I cut my finger and then Edward uses his teeth to place a cut in his finger and then I drink from him and he drinks from me. It's more of a sexual than anything really, we're so much closer now," I told Rosalie.

About an hour later, Rose and I walked down stairs and everyone was getting back then from their hunting trip. They all knew that I would need them to be here when I told Charlie and Renee about the baby.

Just as everyone walked in, everyone except Edward, my parents drove up.

"Alice, where's Edward at I need him to be here," I asked.

"He had to stop and get something first, he'll be here in five minutes and forty-eight seconds," Alice told me.

Esme welcomed my mom and dad into the house. How could I not have seen this before? My mom was looking a little heavier these days and she has been eating a lot of apple and cream cheese pie.

No, she couldn't be. "Mom," I said, even before they could sit down. "Mom, are you and dad having another baby?" I heard the words fall out before I could catch them. All eyes were on me, everyone but my mom and dad knew I was having a baby also, maybe even sooner than they were.

When Renee opened her mouth to speak, Charlie looked over at Carlisle with a knowing look. "No, dad, Carlisle didn't say anything about this, they (meaning the Cullen's) are always well prepared," I told him.

Edward entered the house with a handful of flowers. "Renee, you look beautiful tonight like always," He told my mom. Then he extended his hand to my father and shook his hand.

"Bells, how did you know?" Dad asked.

"I was just kinda guessing, but look at mom and what she's been eating lately. It's been kinda really gross!" I said.

"Oh Bella, we wanted to tell you but we also wanted to wait till I was out of the first trimester, which will be next week," Mom said.

Edward smiled at her and at me and handed both of us a hand full of flowers. Mom's was roses and mine was lilac and freesia.

"Love, now would be a great time to share our news with your family as well," Edward said. I saw my dad grow a little uneasy in his seat.

"Charlie, Renee, I mean you no disrespect but I have asked Bella to marry me and she has said yes." Then Edward smiled his crooked smile at everyone. I heard Alice stop breathing, I shot her a look.

"Now, Bella, tell them now," She mouthed to me.

So I took a deep breath and took Edward's hand and smiled at my mom and dad then I started, "First off, Edward asked me to marry him a while ago and what we have to tell you has nothing to do with us getting married, alright?"

I saw my dad start to turn three shades of red and I hadn't even told him about the baby yet. "Mom, Dad, my new baby brother or sister is going to have a full time playmate, his or her own age." Then I swallowed hard.

I felt the tears fall down my face as I went on, Edward squeezed my hand so I knew it was all going to be alright.

"Sir, I love your daughter more than life and now I love our baby just as much. Bella is my life now," Edward said and then he kissed my hand. Then he turned to my mom and smiled at her.

"Renee, I give you and Chief Swan my word that Bella will never want another thing ever again. I will make sure she is safe and happy, always," Edward told my mom.

She smiled at him and patted his hand and then mine and said, "Everything will be alright, right Charlie?" He turned back to normal and smiled at my mother and nodded in agreement with her.

My father has always loved my mother. Now everyone knew about the baby and about Edward and I getting married, everyone except for my guy best friend, Jacob Black.

*************************************************************************************

We said our good nights to everyone and Edward carried me to our bed room, so we could celebrate our baby news. Of course in the same way he or she was made (big smile across my face).

"I love you Edward."

"I love you too, my Bella."
