Disclaimer: I am Stephenie Meyer and own all the characters except the embreyo. That is exactly why I'm writing a short story on this FAN fiction website for free. A story that I'm quite sure could be published and sold resulting in thousands of dollars for me. Not. Does it piss off anyone besides me that we have to write disclaimers at the beginning of our stories? I mean, COME ON! No author in their right MIND would write on this website. Why? Because this is for FAN fiction, not AUTHOR fiction. Augh, so stupid. I mean, am I right? Review and tell me. Sorry, I digress. The story awaits; here you go!
I woke up and rolled over; strait into Edward's chest. Well, my stomach did, but then again my stomach took up the whole bed, so I wasn't surprised. I was tired, sore, and fat. I looked down at my stomach.
"Zach, you ready to come out yet?" An exasperated nudge. It seemed to say, Duh. Edward chuckled. "What?" I asked.
"It's so sweet how you talk to him."
"He answers, you know. I'm not just talking to a bunch of blubber."
"Very cute blubber," he claimed. He was lying. He had to be. I just blushed.
"You're joking."
"Am not." I turned my back on him and snuggled up. I couldn't have reached him if I stayed facing him. I was looking forward to being able to hug him again while looking at him. He stiffened. I rolled over yet again to see what was the matter. I just then realized his eyes were pitch black. I scooted away from him in an attempt to make it easier for him. I pointed an accusing finger at him.
"You, sir, need to hunt," I commanded.
"Bella, I'm fine,"
"Liar. I've got annoying human traits, and you have vampire ones. Well, just one. I am not blind; I can see your eyes." He looked unconvinced.
"My water's not going to break today, but when it does, I want you full and your eyes topaz. GO HUNT, EDWARD!" During my pregnancy, my lungs had gotten very powerful. I guess I had been exercising those muscles a lot. I got what I wanted most of the time when I yelled. Edward was now convinced.
"Very well," he gave me one last kiss before he jumped out the window. I whispered under my breath, "Show off." I know he heard me, though. I went back to sleep. I had about five minutes before I was being nudged off the bed by a certain person inside of me. That was fine, I needed to go to the bathroom anyway, also the fault of the one forcing me up.
"Love you, Zach," an agreeing push. My life was near perfect. I was in my ninth month. I hoped Edward would hunt quickly so he could come home. Since he was the only one hunting, he ought to finish sooner. I got dressed and went downstairs to the sofa. Rosalie and Emmett had left for Italy a few days after my arrival. I asked Edward about it and if it had had anything to do with my reaction to Rosalie. He had answered with an all too innocent look that they just needed a break from all the commotion. Carlisle was in his office working on some medical report, and Esme and Alice were shopping for the baby. Jasper was just hanging around the living room watching TV. I decided I needed to pack the bag for the trip to the hospital. I was just about half way through throwing all the materials onto the bed when a rush of wind came in through the window. I turned around to close it, but found Edward standing right in front of me.
"I'm back, love,"
"Mmmhhhmm," I turned my back on him once more and snuggled up. I looked up to receive a kiss, but our door nearly came flying off its hinges. Alice stood in the doorway.
"WHAAAAHOOO!" Edward and I just looked at her in confusion. Then she turned sheepish. "Oops. I suppose I was too early. It must happen later," then she left the room.
"Edward what on earth was that?!" I questioned. I was not the only one with a confused look.
"Don't know. She was very excited and not thinking clearly. Something about Zach, though."
"Well, that tells me what I was wondering. I had no idea she was excited." I chuckled, as did he. I decided I needed a shower because I was feeling grimy. So I went and used the shower. After I stepped out I heard a more composed Alice go into the bedroom shooing Edward out.
"Shoo! Get lost! Out! OUT!" I heard the sound of newspaper whacking granite skin.
"What the?? Alice, stop! Okay! I'm going! I'm going!" I started laughing. I got out and put on the clothes Alice layed out for me. At the look on her face, a real exahsperated look, I started really belly-laughing. I hadn't laughed this hard in a looooooong time. I bent over at the middle and held my sides. When I did, something broke inside me and warm liquid burst down my legs. OMG MY WATER JUST BROKE!
"Bella! Finally!" Alice said, "I have been waiting all day for this. Quick, put these other clothes on." I did as she told me in a rush. I was nervous. The contractions began to hit.
"AUGH!"
"Bella! Bella, what's wrong?!" Edward came bursting through the door. I tried to explain,
"Edward, water, my water- AUGH!" Stupid contractions. Luckly, he was able to read Alice's mind. His eyes grew wide. He picked me up and ran me to the car. I suppose he got Carlisle, but I didn't notice, the contractions REALLY hurt.
"Bella? It's going to be okay. Just relax and breathe. Okay? Deap breath in." I did as Edward asked. I knew what he wanted would help the labor, but it just hurt to breathe. The contractions were getting closer together and harder. The delivering doctor came in.
"She's fully dialated," he said. No, really? I hadn't noticed. Stupid doctors. "Bella, I going to need you to push when I say, okay?" I nodded, not trusting myself to speak. "Push, NOW," I pushed. My nails dug into Edward's arm and pushed with all my might.
"AAAUUUUUGGGHHHH!!" Then, the pain was gone, and a small, baby boy was being held up. Zach Anthony Masen Cullen. I loved him so much. Edward's lips touched mine, and we kissed.
