Hey guys. That's right, chapter 2 is up six days before I said it was going to be. I thought, considering it is everyone's favorite vampires birthday today (Edward Cullen is 111) that I would update the second chapter of Small Bump. I hope you enjoy it.
P.S. there is some medical talk in this chapter and I just want you to know that everything is strictly researched. I am not a medical student, I am an English and Childcare student. Therefore, if any of this information is wrong, please let me know but don't be rude as I don't know anything about this subject.
P.S.S. I wanna give a shout out to LightVictory. She has always commented on my stories (including this one) and, for some reason, it never lets me respond to it. So I'm going to respond on here and say a massive thank you LightVictory for your kind words and support.
Disclaimer; I do not own Twilight. Both the plot and the character of that amazing saga belong to Stephenie Meyer.

When dropped Bella off and walked her to her front door. When she had unlocked it, she stepped inside and turned to face me with a small smile on her face.
"Do you wanna stay?" she asked me.
"I would, but you need to get some rest and I'll just distract you," I told her, and I was being truthful.
Last time she had invited me in because her cousins and dad were out, we ended up having sex on the couch, in her bedroom - three times - and in the shower. And then in her room again. That was a very productive day. By the smile on her face, I knew she was remembering the same thing, which made me smile.
I pulled her into a hug and kissed her sweet, soft lips before pulling away and walking back to the Volvo.
"I love you. Sleep well, love," I told her before climbing into the car.
I heard her shout, "Love you too, baby," before closing her front door, which made me smile.
When I got home, I walked back into the kitchen and my parents were in the same places they were when I left; my dad sitting on the stool, and my mom behind the stove.
"Hey sweetie; is she okay?"
"Yeah. She was going straight to bed."
"Did you remind her about the hospital tomorrow?" my father asked.
""No, I forgot. But I'll text her in the morning telling her." He nodded. "Is dinner almost ready, mom?"
"Yes. Can you just go set the table please, hun?" I nodded and grabbed the plates, knives, forks and napkins while my dad carried two glasses of wine and a glass of cola for me.
My mom carried the dish of chicken and vegetable stir-fry and fried potatoes. It smelt amazing, which is why it was such a shame that Bella was sick because she loved my moms stir-fry's. We sat down and began to much on the delicious food that my mother had made for us.
An hour later we were finished and everything had been put into the dishwasher to be put on later. We had just sat down in the living room watching re-runs of F.R.I.E.N.D.S when we heard the front door open. My siblings walked in and flopped down on the couch, saying hello to us all.
"Hi dears. How was the movie?"
"It was so scary! Oh my god! I so understand why Bella said she would have nightmares!" Rosalie told us, her eyes open wide, reminding me of Alice for a few moments.
"Speaking of Bella," Jasper said, "how is she?"
"Well she was sick on the way back to Forks and again when we got here before she cleaned her teeth but she was okay after that. I dropped her home a couple of house ago so she could go to bed. Speaking of which, I'm gonna go bed. Night guys."
I heard them all say goodnight as I climbed up the stairs to my bedroom. I changed into a pair of grey sweatpants and a white wife beater and brushed my teeth. I climbed into bed, which still smelt like Bella after she had slept round the night before.
The next day, I woke up at ten and walked downstairs to find my family sitting in the dining room eating breakfast. I grabbed a bowl of cereal and joined them.
"Oh, Edward, I managed to get Bella an appointment at one," my father told me.
"Okay. I'll message her in a minute and tell her."
"An appointment for what?" Rosalie asked, looking between me and our dad.
"At the hospital. Just to make sure she's okay." Everyone nodded and went back to their breakfast.
When we had finished and cleaned up, I grabbed my phone and messaged my love.
(Bella/Edward)

Love you too baby. B xx
I smiled and walked upstairs to my room. I decided to have a quick shower so I walked into my bathroom and turned it on, waiting for it to be the perfect temperature before walking in and shutting the glass door.
When I was done, it was twelve, and I had under half an hour before I had to leave to pick Bella up for half past. I dressed in a pair of dark wash jeans, a white t-shirt and a blue jacket with my sneakers. I tried, with no success, to tame my hair like I do everyday before giving up and walking into my bathroom to brush my teeth. When I was done it was twelve twenty and I decided to leave. I grabbed my phone, keys and gum, just incase Bella was sick on the way, and walked down the stairs.
I said goodbye to my mom, dad and siblings before walking down the stairs to the front door. I climbed into my car and sped into town to my girls house. When I got there, I left the engine on while I climbed out and walked towards the house. I knocked on the door and Alice opened it.
"Hey Edward. You here for Bella?" I nodded and she called up the stairs. "She told us that Carl got her an appointment at the hospital. Is it really that serious?" she asked me with worry clear in her eyes. She really loved her older cousin.
"I don't know, Ali. I think dads just taking precautions. You know how much he loves Bella; he just wants to be safe. It's probably nothing. Just something she ate, like she said."
She nodded but didn't reply as Bella walked down the stairs then wearing a pair of black leggings, an oversized shirt which was half unbuttoned with a skintight top underneath and a pair of flat shoes. Her curly hair was up in a low ponytail and the only makeup she had on was mascara and lip gloss, a clear sign that she had done it herself and not let Alice get to her.
"Hey baby," she said as she leaned forward and gave me a sweet kiss.
"Hey babe. How are you feeling?"
"Okay. Just wanna get this over and done with."
I smiled and pulled her out of the house, waving goodbye to Alice as I opened the door for her to climb into the car. When we were both seated and belted, I made our way to Forks Hospital.
When we got there, I parked in a space as close to the building as possible. We climbed out and made our way to the building, our hands holding each others. When we arrived to the doors, I held it open for her to walk in. We walked straight to the front desk, where a girl, no older than twenty-five, was sitting with fake blonde hair, fake orange skin chewing loudly on a piece of gum.
"Excuse me," Bella said in a small voice.
The woman looked up from Bella, and then to me, where a large smile plastered on her face.
"Hello," she said in a voice that was supposed to be seductive. "How may I help you?"
"I have an appointment," Bella said, jealousy in her voice. I loved it when Bella got all jealous, she became a wild animal, claiming her territory.
"What is your name?" the receptionist asked rudely.
"Isabella Swan."
The woman snorted. At my baby. If she wasn't a girl I would have hit her for talking to my baby like that. "Take a seat and fill this out. Return it when your finished and the doctor will be out for you."
Bella took the clipboard off of her and I led her to the seating area, where we sat and began filling in Bella's details. When she was done, I returned it and went back to Bella. A few minutes later, a man in a white coat walked out. I recognized him as Doctor Frost.
"Ah, Isabella, please, follow me. Edward, will you be coming also?" I looked at Bella and she nodded, so I nodded to the doctor. "Okay then. Shall we?" We stood up and followed him into the room. Bella took a seat on the bed and I sat down on one of the chairs that was against the wall. "Okay Bella, what seems to be the problem?"
"Well, for the last couple of days I've been feeling unwell an…" she began to carry on when the doctor interrupted her.
"When you say unwell, you mean…?"
"Stomachaches and stuff. But yesterday, we were at the movies and I smelt something, probably nachos or something and it made me sick."
"Physically?" she nodded. "Is that the only time you were sick?"
"No. I went to the Cullen's and Esme was cooking and, as soon as she lifted the lid off of the pan I threw up. And when we were driving back from Port Angeles Edward was driving fast, like always, and it made me nauseous so we had to pull over. And this morning, Alice was cooking bacon and I threw up in the kitchen." She scrunched up her nose at the memory.
"Well that it interesting, but I think I may know what it wrong with you."
"What is it?"
"I would rather confirm it first before letting you know. So, I am going to need to do a blood test and a urine test." He grabbed a little tub off of the side and gave it to Bella. "Please go into the bathroom and do the urine example. When you get out, the things for your blood test will be ready."
She nodded and walked into the bathroom that was joined to the room. A few minutes later she returned and handed him the tub. She sat back on the bed, where the things for the nurse to take her blood sample was ready. Bella looked at me and beckoned me over with her hand. I moved to her side quickly and took hold of her hand, letting her squeeze it. She shut her eyes tightly and rested her forehead on my left shoulder.
A few minutes later, they had all of the blood they needed and they moved quickly to do the test to see what was wrong with Bella. Me and my girl were left in the room for a while they did the tests. Almost an hour later doctor Frost walked back in.
"I'm so sorry for the wait, we just wanted to make sure we had it right."
"And do you?" I asked.
He nodded. "We do. We officially know what is causing Bella to feel nauseous. Honestly all of the signs were there and I am very surprised Carlisle didn't figure it out, as he is an amazing doctor. Or maybe he did figure it out and just kept it until it was confirmed."
"Can you just stop rambling and tell us what is wrong with my girlfriend," I said harshly.
"Oh, yes, of course," he said, ignoring my harsh tone. "Well, it seems that you, Isabella, are pregnant."
I felt Bella freeze. Or was that me?
I don't know how long it was that we just sat there, staring at the doctor like her had three heads but it was a long fucking time. Finally, Bella seemed to find her voice, something I still hadn't managed to do.
"What? How? No…that's not possible. I'm not pregnant."
"Miss Swan, when we your last menstrual cycle?"
"It was…" she trailed off and her eyes opened wide, as well as her mouth.
"My point. What you are going through is morning sickness, not food poisoning or anything else. Morning sickness. Now, I understand that this is a lot for you to take it, both of you, but here are some leaflets that will tell you about the options that you have."
"What do you mean, options?"
"Well, there's abortion, adoption or you can keep the baby."
"I am not aborting this baby!" Bella said with authority. I agreed with her. Although I was scared shitless about having this baby, I would not abort it.
"Well, you don't have to decide right this moment…"
"I am not aborting it!" Angry tears started to form in her eyes. I put my arm around her, holding her to my chest.
"I'm sorry. She just feels very strong about this subject. Um, by any chance, do you perhaps know how far along she is, and when the baby was conceived?"
"Of course. It seems that this baby was conceived on September thirteenth, which makes this baby five weeks old. And the birth should be around June sixth. Do either of you have any questions concerning the baby or your pregnancy?" We shook our head. "Okay. I want you to make an appointment at reception on the maternity ward; for four weeks time, which will make your eight weeks pregnant, just to check up on you and see how things are going." We both nodded. "Okay, that's all for now. Congratulations, by the way, and we'll see you in a few weeks."
"Um, will you be doing the checkup in four weeks time."
"No. I will pass this to a female colleague of mine. Her name is Doctor Denali, she is one of the best OBGYN'S's, or Obstetrician or Gynecologist, as they are called, that we have in the hospital. She will take good care of you." We nodded again. "If you go up to the maternity ward and ask to set an appointment with Dr Denali, and I will page her now and tell her."
"Okay, thank you," I said to him. "Come on, babe. Lets get you home."
Bella didn't budge, still in shock I guessed, so I edged her off of the bed and picked her up bridal style. Normally, she would protest and start moaning about it being embarrassing because people would stare at her, but she didn't say anything.
"Goodbye," Doctor Frost said to us as I carried her out of the room.
When we got to the car, I had to set her down so that I could get my keys out and unlock the car. I helped Bella in and closed the door behind her before rushing to my side and getting in. I didn't have a chance to say anything before Bella broke down, hot tears rushing out of her eyes and loud sobs coming from her.
I pulled her to me, trying my best to comfort her but not knowing how to. I had never been in this situation before, I didn't know what I was doing. I was scared, but at the same time, I felt selfish for feeling like this when Bella was the one who deserved to feel scared. I wasn't the one whose belly would grow and round with a child, or who would have to go through child birth in nine months.
"It's okay, baby. It's gonna be okay. We'll get through this," I told her as I held her in my arms and placed soft butterfly kisses all over her face, capturing the tears with my lips. "Do you wanna go home?" She shook her head. "Do you wanna go to my house?" She nodded. "Okay."
I let go of her, but kept her hand in mine rested on my thigh and her head fell on my shoulder. The sobs had stopped but the tears were still running down her face, and every time I stopped at a red light, I would kiss her tears away.
When we finally got to my house, I helped Bella out and locked the car as we made our way to the front door in silence. We, silently, walked up the stairs to the main floor. Unluckily for us, it seemed that everyone had come over because, as we walked through the main living room to get to the stairs to go to my room, we ran into my parents, brother, sister and Bella's cousins.
"Hey…Bella, what's wrong?" Alice said, a frown on her face.
"Noth…Nothing." Her voice was croaky because she hadn't used it for about half an hour.
"How was the doctors?" my mom asked sweetly, but I could tell, like the others, she was worried about Bella.
When mom mentioned the doctors, Bella let out a small sob and leaned into me, her head in the crook of my neck. I could feel her tears soaking my t-shirt. My mom, hating it when any of her kids (yes that included Bella, Alice and Emmett) had tears in her eyes at seeing Bella this was. Alice was clinging onto Jasper's hand, worried about her cousin and Rosalie, Emmett and my father all had sad frowns on their faces.
"I'm…um, gonna take her upstairs. It's been a long day," I told them before picking Bella up and carrying her past them to the stairs that would take us to my bedroom.
When we got there, I set her down on the bed and closed my door. Laying down beside her, I pulled her to me and rested her head on my chest, letting her cry about our teenage mistake.
Because I updated early, how about some amazing reviews?
Love,
