I have to thank my a fantastic trio of friends for helping me with this: m0t0b33, teamalltwilight and Pyejammies! ;)

As always, I don't own anything Twilight related or anything else you might recognize in my story. I DO own the idea.

We'll just call them Hot Mama and Jailbait. :) Check the pictures in my FB group: Addicted-to-romione-bedward Fanfiction (link on my profile)

Edward's POV

Bella's pregnant.

She's been pregnant before…but lost the baby.

I could have been a brother to someone.

There's still a risk.

Fuck, Bella's pregnant!

I'm going to be…a dad.

I stare at my reflection in the bathroom's mirror.

She's right, of course.

I'm a kid myself, but I know that I can do this.

She's not irresponsible – she just can't say no to me. It's my fault she's pregnant.

I've locked myself in here after I made sure Bella was asleep.

I'm shocked – I can't do anything – be happy, be sad, be angry at myself. Nothing.

Then it suddenly hits me – someone's going to depend on me.

That thought makes my stomach roll and I turn to the toilet in time for my dinner to make a reappearance.

How can I take care of someone?

What if something happens to Bella?

No. No. No.

I can't even think about that.

"Edward?"

The door handle moves but doesn't budge.

"Open the door! Are you okay?" Bella asks worried.

I don't have enough power to tell her I'm okay – just freaking the fuck out, but fine.

"So help me, if you don't open right now, I'm going to take the door down!"

Groaning, I crawl to the door and turn the key.

"Oh, God!" Bella moans, dropping next to me. "I'm so sorry, honey. I knew it would hit you eventually."

I encircle her with my arms and press my face to her chest, letting the tears fall.

I fool myself that I can do this, but I'm scared of what this means.

There's a small life growing inside her…because of me. We created that.

Sniffing loudly, I free one of my hands and put it over her stomach.

We sit there for a long while then she helps me up, and while I'm brushing my teeth, she flushes the toilet. We walk to the bed where we get under the blanket and just lie there.

I know sleep is far away, but I try to sleep.

I have a test second period. It feels like anything school related it so far out of my reach. School doesn't matter – I just got schooled by life and what happens when you do something stupid like…not wearing a condom.

Eventually, I fall asleep and when I wake up, the bed's empty and cold.

In the kitchen is Alice, munching on some PBJ sandwich while looking though the morning paper.

"Hey, kid! I was left instructions to wake you at seven fifteen. Good thing you woke up early," she tells me cheerfully.

I grunt, feeling so tired.

"Bella left you a plate in the microwave oven. She said to heat it up for two minutes," Alice adds.

"Did she leave early?" I ask, doing as she instructed me.

"At six."

Wow.

Is she avoiding me or something?

I eat quickly, take a shower then leave. I arrive early again, but I don't care.

Getting out of my car, I lean against the rear end, light a cigarette and try to order my crazy thoughts.

When Emmett arrives, he comes to me sporting a huge smile. I'm not ready for whatever stupid thing he has to tell me.

"G'morning, man!" He bumps my shoulder. "I spent the night at Rose's." He beams at me.

I exhale the smoke toward the sky then fix him with my eyes. "I'm going to be a dad."

Emmett's hands freeze on the lighter as he's ready to light his smoke. Slowly, he takes the cigarette out of his mouth. "What?" he whispers.

"You heard me. Bella's pregnant." I take another drag. "So how was your night with Rose?"

I need normal conversation.

Despite all my bravado from last night, it's all crashing down on me. I'm definitely not ready.

But then again, who the heck is? Not even people who want a baby…are ready. I think.

"Hold it," Emmett says loudly, finally lighting his smoke. He takes a drag, blows it out quickly. "She told you that?"

"Yes, Em. Please, tell me about your night. I need to think about something else," I beg him.

"You sure you wanna know?" he asks skeptically, the hint of a smirk on his face.

"On second thought, no," I mutter, cracking a small smile.

"So Bella told you she's preggo?"

"Yep."

"Duuude!" Emmett punches my arm. "The fuck happened? Did it break once or something?"

I stare at my shoes, digging the toe in the ground. "On V-Day…we didn't use it. She was on the pill."

"Duude! They're not safe."

"I know…now," I mumble. "So…are you bringing Rose this weekend to meet your parents?"

"Yep. Easter drama…"

"I can't believe you didn't tell your mom until Bella mentioned her."

"Yeah. Your Bella and her big mouth," he mutters.

"Hey!" I snap. "That's my girlfriend!"

"Sorry, dude, but seriously."

"I didn't even know you hadn't told your mom."

"Like you told Bella of your previous girlfriends. Same principles apply. Trust me."

I shrug and stub the butt of the cigarette on my sole. "I gotta go, look over my notes before the test."

"Luck!" Emmett says, patting my back. "See you in Math."

"Bye," I groan.

The school day drags and when it's finally time to head home, I say goodbye to Emmett then drive home.

As I slow down close to the house, I see Bella in the driveway with Alice and a man I haven't seen before.

I wonder if he's Alice's husband, though neither Bella nor Alice look hostile. I park in front of the garage, hop out and join them, slinging an arm over Bella's shoulders.

"Hi, honey," she greets me softly, kissing my cheek.

"Hi," I whisper, answering with a kiss of my own on her cheek.

"This is Ben – one of my good friends from college. He works at the FBI now and he's going to help Alice."

"Hello," I tell him, shaking his hand. "I'm Edward," I add.

He nods. "Nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you." He smiles.

"All lies!" I shout. "Don't listen to a word Bella tells you."

"That's so mature…" Bella mumbles between giggles.

I'd have taken it as a light joke any other time, but now it makes me realize how truly immature I am.

I excuse myself to go inside, but I already know Bella realized my mood has changed.

After changing my clothes and washing my hands, I look for something to eat. They're still on the front lawn, laughing and joking. I haven't seen Bella so happy in too long.

I guess now I know why she's been hot and cold.

I grab food and go to the TV, right as I hear the front door opening and closing.

"Oh, you found the food," Bella comments. "Good." She comes to sit next to me. "How are you? Feeling better?" She strokes my forearm.

I shrug one shoulder. "I'm good. You?"

"Coping." She throws me a small smile. "Any plans for Easter? Or just us?"

"Just us…and Alice," I tell her, winking. "Please, don't think of bringing Grandma."

"Oh, I didn't even think of her!" Bella leans into me, glancing toward the hallway to make sure Alice wasn't around. "I'm thinking of bringing Jazz too. They were making gooey eyes at each other yesterday."

"Seriously?" I ask shocked. "I mean…she's pregnant. And Jasper's…you know… Will he even be here?"

"Oh!" Bella gasps. "You think he'll go to Texas? He hasn't been there in years…since—"

"What are you two whispering there about? So not cool to be all lovey-dovey near a hormonal pregnant woman," Alice chides us.

She slumps in the armchair, her hands resting on her bulging stomach. "I hope your friend can stop James from coming after me or now…you, because you took me under your roof."

"Don't worry, Ally. Ben's the best," Bella tells her, grinning. "And he owes me. Huge." She laughs.

"Why's that?" I ask curiously.

"Do I detect a hint of jealousy?" she teases me.

"Just answer," I mumble.

"I was in my second year of college when my friend and roommate, Angela, decided to go to a club. Nothing unusual, right? We ordered drinks and sat there at the bar, talking. Then I saw this uh, muscled man and I told her to watch and learn – Angela was quite the prude." Bella giggles, twirling a strand of her hair. "Anyway, I head to this very good looking guy and we dance and talk a little then I take him to the bar to drink one more round before going to my room or his…whatever worked back then."

"Let me guess," Alice quips. "She jumped him."

"Nope. I introduced them and they didn't spare me a glance after that. I mean, I turned to the bar to order my drink and when I glanced at Ben to ask what he wanted…he was undressing my friend with his eyes. I told them to go to our room and have fun, but Ben took Angie to his house and well, the rest is history."

"So you have good matchmaking skills," I muse, cutting my eyes to Alice then back at Bella. She winks at me.

I can't wait to see how this plays out.

Ben disposing of Alice's husband.

Jasper hitching up with Alice.

Bella and I being parents…

I guess I'm warming up to that idea but I won't know what's hit me until I see her swollen stomach…just like Alice's.

Holy shit!

God give me strength! I'll live with two pregnant women.

Too much drama for a teenager.

Some of you are worried, some of you don't agree with their relationship...

I'm curious of what you all think of this now. It's happening - Bella is pregnant and Edward is going to become a dad whether they're ready or not.
