A/N: Okay, so I let Bella talk a little bit about her night with Edward, but I tried not to drag it out too much. She focuses more on the emotional aspect than the physical, since Edward already covered that =P A lot of time passes in this chapter, cuz I needed to get on with the "plot twist". Before you ask, no, there will not be any James/Victoria/Jacob/Tanya/AnyoneElse drama in my story. Those characters annoy me, so I'm sticking with the main cast. I hope you approve =D
DISCLAIMER: I obviously don't own Twilight as my bank account can attest =D

Waking up in Edward's arms just felt right. I snuggled closer to his body while keeping my eyes shut, not quite ready to wake up. I felt Edward's lips press slightly to my forehead and his arms tighten around my waist.
"Good morning, angel," he murmured. I sighed contentedly and tilted my head back to press my lips to his jaw. He moaned softly sending vibrations through our bodies. It was truly a perfect moment. Edward must have felt the same way, because neither of us moved from the spot for quite some time. After a few minutes it suddenly dawned on me that I couldn't feel any clothes on my skin, and I peeked quickly under the blanket to confirm that we were indeed still naked. My mind drifted off, recalling the reason why I was laying completely nude in my boyfriend's arms.
Last night was completely perfect. At first I was terrified that I would screw up somehow and embarrass myself; or worse, that Edward would turn me down. But when Edward looked me in the eyes and told me the three words I wanted to hear most, all of my anxieties melted away. Edward Cullen loved me; me, Bella Swan. As unbelievable as that seems, I actually believed him. I watched his face closely as he said the words, and I knew right then that he really did love me as much as I love him. It was at that moment that I decided I was ready to take the next step.
Once we had made it up to his bedroom, Edward began to please me in ways I never thought possible. It seemed as if he was created specifically for me, and I never wanted to leave this bedroom. Unfortunately, we were going to have to leave eventually, and it seemed like that moment was coming up fast. Edward stirred next to me, stretching out his body slowly, completely aware of my open ogling.
"Like what you see?" he teased.
"Mmm, very much so," I giggled. He laughed lightly and leaned over so that he was hovering over me. He pressed his lips to base of my jaw and my eyes rolled back into my head in pleasure.
"Care to join me for a shower?" he whispered huskily. I nodded my head vigorously and he chuckled at my enthusiasm. He leaned back on his knees and slid off the bed, pulling me with him. We were crossing the room to his bathroom when there was a loud banging on Edwards door.
"You two have five minutes to get out here or I'm coming in there whether your dressed or not!" Alice screeched from the hallway. I stuck my bottom lip out in a pout and glared at the door, earning a chuckle from Edward.
"Come on, angel. We'll have plenty more chances to catch a shower," he waggled his eyebrows at me suggestively and I laughed loudly. He slipped on his boxers and a pair of jeans and pulled a plain gray t-shirt over his head. I slipped on the corduroy pants I had packed and an Aerosmith t-shirt, then followed him out of his room.
We got downstairs and both couples were sitting at the island in the kitchen eating cereal. I slipped onto an empty bar stool next to Alice, smiling brightly at her, while Edward grabbed us some fruity pebbles.
"So, I guess you guys had a good night," Rosalie grinned at me and Alice gave me a pointed look, informing me that I would be expected to spill all of the dirty details later. I rolled my eyes at her and nodded my head in agreement, unable to completely keep the goofy grin off my face.
"Well us girls are going shopping today, so you guys are on your own,"Alice informed everyone. I opened my mouth to protest but Alice shot me a glare and I stopped immediately, knowing I wouldn't win.
"Don't look so pained, Bella. We need some girl time before the weekend is over. I promise we will get you back in time to spend a few hours with lover boy, okay?" She offered me the compromise and I took it quickly, grinning widely at the thought of spending alone time with Edward. He slid my cereal in front of me and took the last empty stool next to me. We all engaged in small talk while finishing our breakfasts until Alice declared that it was girl time and forced Rosalie and I to slip on our shoes and meet her at the car. I grabbed my purse and gave Edward a quick kiss before heading outside. I had barely settled into the car when the interrogation began.
"So? How was it? I mean, you don't have to give me all the details, because he is my brother, but you're my friend and I want to know at least the basics!" Alice squeeled excitedly as Rosalie laughed at her and I blushed profusely.
"Don't worry, Bella. You can tell me all the dirty details later if feel like sharing," Rosalie winked at me and I shook my head 'no' quickly.
"I don't know what to say. It was definitely the best night of my life. He was so sweet about everything, and I just felt right with him, you know?" they both 'awwed' and nodded their heads in understanding. I sighed in relief as Alice quickly changed the subject and started talking about wanting us all to get pedicures today.
We spent the entire day being lugged by Alice from store to store, all three of us leaving with armfuls of shoes and clothes. We saved the pedicures for last, and talked excitedly about our senior year and all that it entailed. We teared up a little when we thought about all of the 'lasts' that we were going to experience, but the conversation turned bright again when Alice brought up college. They both already had plans to attend U of W with Jasper and Emmett, and informed me that Edward was intending on going with them. We all squealed in excitement when I told them that I was going to apply there as well, which started a new conversation about all of the fun times we would have next year in college.
We stopped at a little Italian restaurant for dinner before heading back to Forks. By the time we made it home the boys were settled into the living room watching a football game, surrounded by empty coke cans and pizza boxes. They reluctantly pulled themselves away from the television to clean up the mess, then we all settled down to watch a movie together. It felt like only minutes later when I felt myself being lifted up in Edwards arms, and carried off to bed.
I got up early the next morning, having promised to spend some quality time with Charlie. My quick kiss goodbye to Edward turned into a ten minute makeout session before I finally pulled myself away from him. I spent the rest of the day watching TV with Charlie and wishing I was with Edward. This quickly became the pattern for my weeks; I would spend all day at school with Edward, cheer for him on Friday nights, and spend the weekends with the whole group, and wishing I was with him every second we were apart.
The semester passed us by quickly, and before I knew it Christmas break had come and gone. Charlie and I had spent Christmas day at the Cullen's house, since we had no extended family of our own. After an in-depth interrogation of his intentions, Charlie deemed Edward a okay guy, and actually seemed to get pretty attached to him. The two of them spent countless hours yelling at the television screen together, almost bursting into tears during the last game of the season. It was nice having them be so close; if Charlie liked Edward, it meant I got to spend more time with him.
The boys had surprised us girls on Valentine's Day by renting out three suites at resort in Seattle. We spent the entire evening getting massages and manicures and pedicures, then they took us out to a beautiful candlelit dinner before taking us to our separate suites. Edward devoted the night to pleasing me; over and over and over. I finally collapsed, exhausted, into the king sized canopy bed, and slept for twelve straight hours.
It was now early March, and we were in our first week back to school after Spring Break. Edward and I had just celebrated our seven month anniversary together, and things were still fantastic. I thought nothing would ever be better than that first night I spent with him, but he continued to outdo himself every time.
We had now become known as a single entity in the school and town; we were 'Edward and Bella' instead of 'Edward' and 'Bella'. We were rarely seen without each other, and I absolutely loved it. He spent every day after school at my house, and I spent the weekends at his. I was actually really surprised at how comfortable Charlie was with mine and Edward's relationship. Even if they did get along well, I thought he would be much more difficult than he was. He had even allowed Edward to stay over at our house a few times on school nights.
It was Monday morning, and my body hadn't quite come to terms with the fact that I had to go back to school today. I slowly rolled out of bed and shuffled over to my closet while rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. I pulled out a Forks High School track shirt that I had stolen from Edward, and grabbed a pair of jeans out of my dresser. I bent over to grab my shoes and felt a sharp pain shoot through my abdomen. I hauled myself off the floor and ran to the bathroom, my hand clamped tightly over my mouth.
When my stomach finally settled down I grabbed my toothbrush to clean out my mouth. The toothpaste tube was empty, so I threw it in the wastebasket and opened the cabinet to grab a new tube. When I opened the door a blue box caught my attention, and I cocked my head to the sight in concentration. As I slowly counted the days in my head, twice, my eyes began to widen in shock. I stood still for a few minutes, staring blankly into the cabinet, before I grabbed the toothpaste and brushed my teeth, not really paying attention to what I was doing.
I went back into my room and slipped on my converse, my movements mechanical. I grabbed my backpack and Edward's jacket then made my way downstairs on autopilot. I reached into the pantry to grab a granola bar then snagged a bottle of water out of the fridge before heading to the front door.
Edward was waiting for me, as usual, with a large grin on his face. His features scrunched together in confusion, however, when he saw the blank stare on my face. He rushed over to me, closing the distance between us in two steps, and pulled me into his arms.
"What's wrong, angel?" he asked, his voice laced with concern. He held my close, one hand tangled in my hair and the other rubbing soothing circles on my back. I took a deep breath to calm my nerves and leaned back to look him in the eyes.
"Do you mind if we don't go to school today? I need to talk to you about something," I asked hesitantly. I was completely terrified and had no idea how I was going to approach the subject, but I knew he needed to know. He loved me and I loved him, and we would work this out together. My main concerns were about how we were going to work it out.
"Sure, love, whatever you need. Is everything okay?" he asked. He cupped my face in his hands and tilted it up so that he could look directly into my eyes.
"Nothing is wrong, exactly. I just need to talk to you," I hedged. I wanted to wait until he was sitting down to tell him what was going on.
"Okay, where do you want to go?" he smiled softly at me and stroked my cheeks with the pads of his thumbs.
"Um..let's just go inside for a little while. Charlie has a lot of paperwork to catch up on today so he's going to be at the station until late tonight." I tugged on his hand and pulled him behind me into the house. He walked over to the couch and pulled me onto his lap, and I immediately rested my head into the crook of his neck. He wrapped his arms around me and rocked me slowly, humming softly into my ear while I sorted my thoughts.
"Okay, I don't how to say this, so I'm just going to spit out: I think I'm pregnant."
A/N: Oh snap!! Cliffie! I debated a lot about how Bella would handle this situation before deciding that she wouldn't spend weeks obsessing over it; she and Edward are completely devoted to one another, so she's not too worried about his reaction. I have already started the next chapter and I am going to finish is tonight so I can update for you.
