Author's note: Sorry guys, I know it's been ages since I've updated. I'm really struggling with this story right now, major writers block. I promise I will finish this story but updates are going to be irregular until I can work through this block I'm experiencing. Thanks to all of you who are sticking by me though! Once the story is complete I'm going to work on re-editing and re-working the story since I'm not entirely happy with previous chapters and I want to add a few new paragraphs to it.

The weeks passed, Thanksgiving came and went in the form of a weekend trip to Florida as a group to visit Renee and Phil. Renee loved having us all to visit, she had been begging us for a while to make the trip to Jacksonville so she could spend time with me and the gang. It was great to spend time with her again that didn't involve me looking like I had gone ten rounds in a boxing ring, lying battered in a hospital bed.

Renee was thrilled I was doing so well and now that I was back to normal again, she began to throw some not so subtle hints about Edward and I taking the next step in our relationship. This involved her gushing over Rose and Emmett and then in turn Alice and Jasper. She wanted to know about every single aspect of Alice's wedding planning; Alice being Alice was only too happy to fill her in. The pair of them were as bad as each other, 'Wouldn't Bella just look gorgeous in this dress?' and 'Can't you just imagine Bella wearing this?'

Just when I thought things could not possibly get any more embarrassing, Emmett demanded to see photos of me as a child. Renee was happy to comply and spent the next hour showing them every photo she could find of me. Mostly it wasn't so bad, until Alice, Rose and Renee began to go on and on about how cute mine and Edward's babies would be. My embarrassment had turned into mortification but nothing I could say would shut Renee up now, she was on a roll.

To my surprise instead of running for the hills Edward simply chuckled at Renee's comments and when I finally was able to look him in the eyes without blushing beet red, he seemed thrilled by the idea. I was beginning now to wonder if perhaps Alice was right.

A few weeks before Christmas I was sitting on the sofa flicking through a magazine while Alice inspected her newly painted nails, the front door opened and Rose came flying into the living room. She was beaming from ear to ear and positively glowing, I glanced at Alice for enlightenment but she looked just as confused as I felt.

"What's up Rosie?" I asked curiously.

She was bouncing up and down with excitement brandishing what looked like something white and plastic. I squinted a little to try and get a better look at the object she was waving around so fast it was a blur.

It was definitely white that much I could tell, Rose slowed down with her bouncing and suddenly I realised; it was a pregnancy test.

"Rosie is that what I think it is?" I squealed.

Rose nodded, happy tears welling in her eyes and she placed one of her hands gently upon her stomach.

I'm sure the neighbours must have gone deaf at that moment as Alice let out an ear splitting shriek, following suit I began to squeal too as did Rose and soon we were jumping up and down in the middle of our living room with our arms around each other.

"I'm going to be a Mom!" Rose squealed excitedly.

"You're going to be an amazing Mom" I corrected her.

Alice nodded in agreement, "So how far along are you? When will we get to meet the new little Cullen?"

"I'm about eight weeks now, so according to the Doctor I'm due in July" she told us her eyes shining with excitement.

"Have you told your parents and Esme and Carlisle?" I asked her.

"No yet, we wanted to tell you guys first, we're planning on telling them tonight."

"Esme is going to freak!" Alice exclaimed.

Rose laughed in agreement, "I know right, although she'd never say it because she wouldn't want to pressure us she's dying to be a grandmother."

"Omigosh this is so exciting!" Alice squealed, "You're going to find out if you're having a boy or a girl right? I mean it'll just be so much easier to decorate the nursery and go shopping for baby things." Alice's eyes were shining with excitement, I bet she was planning all kinds of shopping trips already and knowing her planning little outfits to buy for the baby.

"I think we will, I mean I want to but Emmett and I need to talk about it a little more first you know?"

"Talk about what wifey?" Emmett's booming voice filled the room. He was being followed closely by Edward and Jasper.

"About whether or not we want to find out the sex of the baby" Rose replied.

Emmett snorted and grinned stupidly when Rose said sex, seriously he was so immature sometimes and now he was going to be a father? Honestly though despite his immaturity Emmett was going to be the best father ever.

"I want to" he said nodding excitedly, "If you want to though Rosie."

"I want to too" she confirmed beaming at him.

We celebrated for a while before Emmett and Rose headed home to call both sets of grandparents to be to tell them the exciting news.

Later that night I was lying in bed with Edward by my side, my head was resting on his chest and my fingers laced with his. "Can you believe I'm gonna be an Uncle?" Edward asked in awe, rubbing the back of my hand with his thumb.

"Uncle Edward" I said softly smiling into his chest.

He chuckled lightly, "I kind of like the sound of that, you know you'll be Auntie Bella" he told me.

"Unofficially I guess I will."

"Hmmmmmm" Edward murmured thoughtfully.

After that he was quiet and I had no desire to break the silence, it was comfortable just lying here together, peacefully.
