Chapter One
Pregnancy
Last Night At Charlie's
Bella was in the middle of packing away the final trinkets from her bedroom at Charlie's, suddenly realising how much she'd miss him. When she first arrived in Forks to complete her senior year the last thing she expects was to find the love of her life, yet that's what she'd done, despite the bad times her heart and soul belonged to Edward Cullen. So much so that just before the battle with the newborn vampires and Victoria she'd successfully convinced her fiancé to sleep with her. Alice would be proud. Looking around the room she found herself getting tearful at the thought of leaving her father behind, though he did have Sue now. Before she knew it she was engulfed in Edward's arms.
"What made you cry, love?"
"There's a lot of memories in this room, same good some not so good, but before you apologise I believe we were meant to go through that, it made us stronger. We made love six weeks ago. Can you honestly say that would have happened had you not left?"
"I see what you mean. Me thinking you were dead cured me thirsting after your blood."
"Do you think that Jasper and Emmett will try and take you hunting tonight?"
"If they do I'm not going, I went hunting last night after you were asleep so they couldn't."
"Alice will have to deal with it. Thought she's going to lecture us. Um there's something I need to talk to you about."
"Not getting cold feet are you?"
"Nope but I am late."
"Late for.. ...oh."
"You're not freaking out? I expected you to be already on the phone to Carlisle."
"Do you know for sure?" Edward asked trying not to get his hopes up. He always thought it wasn't possible for him to have children. Though he knew it was probably going to cause yet another rift between them and the wolves; a child of his own.
"I've been feeling nauseous since Victoria surprised us on the mountain, but I didn't want to say anything in front of Seth because everyone would know. I took a test first thing this morning and it came back positive."
"I felt the baby's heartbeat before, under my hand. The battle was three months ago."
"We need to go to your house. Now."
"What's the rush, love?"
"My dress, it won't fit. Alice is going to have a fit."
"That's not good. Come on I'll try and calm her down. Or more Jasper will."
Edward picked Bella up bridal style, making his usual exit out of the bedroom window being mindful of how he landed so not to jostle his mate. Once they reached the Volvo he helped Bella inside before getting into the drivers side as he drove (slowly for him) back to their house in the woods. With his driving it didn't take them long to arrive.

Once she'd gained enough courage to step out of the car, Bella leaned against Edward as they made their way into the house together, it appeared Alice must have had one of her visions because the entire family were there, then again the look on her face somethings as going on and she wasn't happy about it. Frowning slightly she instinctively moved close to her fiancé. The last time someone had looked at her like that they'd been ready to refuse to let her leave LaPush.
"Bella Marie Swan! Do you mind telling me why one minute I saw you with Edward and the next it was black. You haven't been around those mutts again have you?"
"No I haven't, but we do have news and I need some alterations done to my wedding dress."
"What?!" Alice screeched. "Why?"
"The reason you lost sight of me in your vision is because I had just told Edward I'm pregnant. I am guessing you see humans because you were one once, you see vampires because you are one. But half breeds like the wolves and the baby, it's because you're not familiar with them and the wolves shift so often you can't get a read onthen." Bella said he voice cracking as she finished.
"You're having a baby?" Rosalie asked.
"I am, Rose I know how much you wanted a baby, though I've only really gotten to know the real you recently I'd like it if you would be the baby's godmother." Bella said shyly.
"I'd be honoured. Thank you."
"Okay Bella we have work to do, now upstairs and into that dress. I need to see how much I need to let out."
"Alright Alice I'll let you play dress up with me on one condition."
"What's that?"
"I get to stay here tonight as does Edward, no hunting he doesn't need it. Otherwise I'll go back to Charlie's now and he comes with me."
"Fine, fine. I already told Jasper he'd fed but your mean. Don't you love me?"
"Don't make me feel guilty Alice. I'll try on the dress then I am going to bed, I'm nauseous and tired."
Bella left Edward's side as she made her way up to Alice and Jasper's bedroom however before Alice could disappear her brother gave her one of those looks that told her not to push Bella otherwise there would be consequences later. With a quick nod she ran upstairs making sure to lock the bedroom door so her nosy brother couldn't get in. She also thought about fashion non stop to keep him out of her thoughts so he wasn't seeing the wedding dress.

By the time Alice made it upstairs Bella was already in the wedding dress trying not to lose the battle with her stomach as it rolled uncomfortably. Taking deep breaths she waited patiently until Alice had taken her new measurements, sighing in relief as her best friend nodded her assurance that she could take the dress off, she grinned brightly despite her nauseous belly. The next time she'd have the wedding dress on she'd be walking down the aisle.
Making her way into the room she shared with Edward she pulled out one of his shirts pulling it over her head as she dressed for bed. Ghosting a hand over her stomach she wondered just how she was going to tell Charlie he was going to be a grandfather. Oh lord her mother was going to lecture her. Just as she was about to have a panic attack she felt herself once again wrapped up in her fiancé's arms. Breathing in his scent she instantly relaxed as he began to him her lullaby.
"Charlie loves you my Bella, he will love being a grandfather, as for your mother. I think the stuff she said to you was about her. She was young when you were born but she's completely different to you. Your much older than your years, we are already getting married, there's s not much that they can complain about."
"I thought you couldn't read my mind?"
"I can't but I can read your face. Sleep, love tomorrow is going to be a long day."
Bella nodded as she leaned head against Edward's chest. Closing her eyes, before she knew it she was fast asleep, shifting slightly as she felt her fiancé begin to rub the small swell of her stomach gently in order to keep her calm. As she fell into a deep sleep she dreamt about a little girl with he chocolate brown eyes and bronze curls. Their little angel.
