The next 2 days I did a lot of avoiding. I was getting quite good at it. Maybe after I pop this baby out, I can become some kind of secret spy.

Dear Isabella,

We think not.

Secret Service.

The days past quickly as I tried to keep on the down low, avoiding crowded places, and staying in small sheltered areas. It was only as easy as I made it, I tried not think of Edward or where he might be, I tried to think about if I finished all my homework, and what time my doctors appointment would be like tomorrow. I may have looked strange, just walking into the bathroom, with a look of wonder on my face. Another distraction, my cell phone. It was going off like crazy, with text messages from Alice. Most of the text messages were non sense, and stuff that I couldn't even understand, but it earned a few giggles from me, actually a lot of giggles. That Alice is a sneaky one. And then the day was over, with the last bell, and the greatness of being pregnant, got Katherine to write me a note excusing me from P.E. Meaning I was first out now, ready to run to Alice's car today. I ran through the parking lot, getting so close to Alice's car.

"Bella." The voice warned and arms wrapped around my waste stopping my fast pace to the car that was just a few feet away from me now.

"Hmph." I whimpered, and was captured in his arms, that were wrapped around me ever so tight.

"Your avoiding me." It was a statement, and I couldn't look at his face, so I just stared at his chest, which wasn't helping at all, but it was better than his face.

"Bella." His voice warned again, and the baby bump pressed against him was making me feel awkward.

"Yes Edward." I blurted annoyed, with all his warnings. And looked up at his face, that was staring down at me, only inches away. His eyes looked a bit brighter from here, and the frown set on his lips made me frown in response.

"What?" I frowned in a small voice.

"I know you are avoiding me." He stated, in a quiet voice, that was only necessary because w e were so close.

"No I'm not." I blushed, giving myself away.

"You're a horrible liar."

"Did you stop me so you could insult me?"

"No." He shook his head, just the slightest smile on his lips.

"I stopped you because I don't like it when you avoid me." He almost cooed looking at me so innocently, making me melt in his arms. Immediately, after my daze, I knew what he was doing, and I slapped his chest.

"Jerk." I muttered.

"But seriously Bella, I don't like this whole avoid Edward thing. I am the father of the baby, and most of the time admitting to that is a good thing, but to you?" Edward rambled, and aside form it being cute, it was making me bubble with annoyance.

"I don't want the school's whore, to be my fathers baby." I blurted out, feeling slightly bad at how I had worded that. His eyes widened in shock, and the bright green dimmed just enough for me to notice.

"I'm a whore?" He asked, quite seriously.

"I didn't mean it-" I'm pretty sure I meant it. "Okay maybe I did but-"

"Okay." He nodded, like he was accepting the idea.

"Okay?" I asked.

"Could the whore at least be your friend? " He studded my expression carefully.

"Well yeah, he could." I answered.

"Then please just let me be your friend, you can pretend someone else is the father, but let me be the friend and help." He pleaded, and I wouldn't be too surprised if he got down on his knees. But so he wouldn't, I replied quickly.

"Okay, okay." I tapped my hands on his chest.

"Thank you Bella." His eyes were sparkling now, and I felt proud that I was the reason. Well not me literally but my actions.

"I hear you have a doctors appointment tomorrow."

"Who told you that?" I was going to kill Mary Alice.

"Someone." He hinted, and rolled my eyes.

"Yes I do."

"Could a friend come along?" He tilted his head as he asked.

"I guess." I sighed.

"Thank you." And before I could even get my head around what he was leaning forward for, his lips gently touched my forehead, so soft and sweet. I felt the heat in my cheeks, and the loud beating of my heart in my throat. Even Edward himself froze once he did it, and we were now too aware his arms were still wrapped tightly around me, and people were staring as they walked by. We both jumped away from each other.

"Yeah." I mumbled, feeling for my charm bracelet on my arms.

"Er.. See you tomorrow." He nodded, and turned on his heel, walking in the other direction. I watched of course, still in shock a kiss from Edward Masen could be so sweet. I watched him cross the lot to where Jasper was standing, and they talked for a while before Alice attacked me .

"I saw everything!" She squealed, and Tommy was walking slowly behind her, looking at me apologetic.

"You saw nothing." I hummed looking away from her little body wrapped around mine.

"Whatever, I saw him kiss your forehead." She smiled so wide, I didn't think it was possible, I could only smile in response.

"See!" She pointed at my smile and I blushed.

"It's the baby." I mumbled.

"The baby my ass!" She giggled.

"Oh shut up and take us home." I laughed.


Dear Bella,

you are much too excited for a doctors appointment. Its absolutely insane.

You scare us to a point we didn't even know possible. Please stop. Not even Mary Alice, Bella, not even Mary Alice.

Suggestion: Sit still.

Love,

Warning and Worried INC.

The whole time at the doctors, I was stealing glances at Edward who was sitting there, his face completely calm, and sometimes he would whisper something to Katherine and they would talk for a quick minute. Even at times when I was embarrassed and wished Edward hadn't of come, he looked completely calm and at peace. While I blushed furiously. It was already awkward with him here, I didn't know what to say to him, like 'thanks for coming to your unborn child's doctor's appointment.' That didn't sound too swell, and I didn't know what he wanted to hear either, but whatever the doctor said I guess was enough. At the moment Edward was sitting his head leaning against the wall, as he stared up at the ceiling

"You okay?" I asked, speaking to him for the first time this hour.

"Hm?"

"You look bored." I noted.

"No, just tired." He sighed, his green eyes looking directly into mine.

"You had to get up pretty early." I said lamely, wishing Alice and Katherine would come back into the room any minute now. They were taking too long in the restroom.

"Yeah, plus make up a lame excuse as to why I was up so early." He explained running his hand through his hair. It clicked, his parents didn't know, and I don't know why I expected they did.

"They don't know." I said more to myself.

"I don't know what I'm going to tell them." He sighed deeply, I couldn't reply. Telling my parents was close to impossible, and their reaction was not something I wanted to re-live again. The way they yelled the way they looked at me. The memory made the temperature in the room drop, along with my heart.

"You alright?" Edward was staring at me, his green eyes filled with concern.

"Yeah." I scratched my arm nervously. "When are you going to tell them?"

"I don't think I want to." He looked at the ground.

"I didn't want to tell my parents either." I laughed, no humor included. He just studied the floor.

"You are going to tell them right?" I bit my lip watching him carefully. He didn't move. I waited patiently, thinking he was trying to word the right answer, or thinking about what he should say. Maybe even how he would do it. But nothing, no answer. Just silence.

"You're not going to tell them?" Oh how I hoped I was wrong…. Again silence.

"Edward!" I yelled, getting up from the doctors bed, with just a little trouble but landing on my feet.

"I cant tell them!" He narrowed his eyes at me.

"Yes you can!" I scoffed.

"You don't understand." He muttered, and I could hardly contain the anger that bubbled with in me.

"I. don't. understand?" I said through my teethe, he didn't bother to look up at me. "Excuse me?"

"You guys are always fighting." Alice said coming into the room by her self. She was looking at me expectantly, but I just crossed y arms over my chest and sighed.

"I hate him." I spat.

"You're not my favorite person in the world either." Edward raised his head to growl at me.

"You have no sense."

"You're so stubborn."

"You make me sick." I growled.

"That's the baby." He glared at me.

"Stop!" Alice yelled, glaring at both of us. "Seriously, just stop."

"Get out!" I blurted, pointing at the door.

"My pleasure." He got up from his seat and walked right out the door. Just like that, he stood from his seat, opened the door and walked right out. I stared in surprise. He was that quick to leave ? He really didn't want to be here. Why did he ask, why does he even pretend to care, and why does the image of him walking out the door scare me so much, I'm shaking? Why is it repeating in my head? Why do I feel like I cant breathe and the world is about to come to an end, any minute. Is it possible to collapse into coma still, and still keep the baby safe.

"What the hell?" I faintly heard Alice's voice, as I stared at the door, hoping any moment he would come back in. The tears had already began to form, at the beginning of the argument, and now they showed no shame as they ran furiously down my cheek. I know Edward was stressed, but the mood had changed in just a second, just a fast second, everything had changed. I could be so angry at him, I could be so mad at him, so quickly. If their was nothing stopping me, then I let my feelings be.

"I don't know." I sighed a shaky sigh, wrapping my arms around myself.

"Bella." Alice sighed sadly.

"What the hell am I going to do. Edward.. He." I was interrupted by my own sobs. I heard the door open, and I hoped it wasn't the doctor, I prayed it wasn't Tommy. I wished it would be Edward. No matter how hard I wanted to deny it, I did, I wanted him to be here, I wanted him to stay with me, and endure all of it. Everything.

"Sorry." I heard his velvet voice almost whisper, and my head snapped up to the door way, where Edward stood looking apologetic, while Tommy had his hand on Edward's back. I could feel my eyes wide with surprise, but the sadness never left them.

"I don't really hate you." I sniffed.

"I didn't mean anything I said." He sighed sadly.

"Can we sit down and be civilized for just a few more minutes." Alice begged. I looked over at Edward who had already been staring at me, both of us questioning our behavior.

"Yeah." We both finally nodded, and I could hear Tommy sigh with relief.


I curled up on my side of the couch, my legs set criss-cross, and my hands gripping the blanket that should be around me but sits in my lap instead. Alice next to me, curled up on her side, her head resting on the arm of the couch, as we watched the movie her mom had 'went through hell and back' getting. Katherine wanted to see it herself, but she had work to do. I don't know how she does it, but after that simple doctors appointment I was drained. Every part of my body just wanted to lay down, and sleep.

"Are you ever going to get along with Edward Masen?" Alice asked, her eyes never leaving the TV screen. His name definitely woke me up, and the memory of this morning made me frown.

"I don't know." I answered, hearing my own dead voice for the first time in about 2 hours.

"You both get so.. worked up over one another." Alice's eyes, this time, were on me, but I looked away, not wanting to spill emotions at the moment.

"Things will go back to normal once his baby is out of me." I sighed, and shifted on the couch, putting the blanket completely over my lap.

"What does that even mean?" I could see her throw her hands up in the air from the corner of my eye.

"I just act like this now, because I'm pregnant with his baby." I explained this to myself many, many times before. Yet it didn't sound too convincing.

"How long will you be living with that theory?" Alice's voice told me she didn't buy it.

"About 6 more months." I said casually earning a hit with a pillow from Alice. I turned to glare at her, and her face was showing nothing but amusement.

"I'm glad you find that funny." I glared.

"You're ridiculous Bells."

I rolled my eyes and turned back to the TV. Maybe I was ridiculous, but I liked my theory more than any other I have thought of. And right now it calms me just the slightest, to where I am able to fall asleep at night.

"By the way, Jacob Black called." Alice said nonchalant. "Maybe you should date him."

"What did he want? And maybe you should shut up."

"He just wanted to talk. I don't appreciate you're insults Bella."

"I don't appreciate your ridiculous suggestions Alice."

"Its not ridiculous." Alice smiled.

"Please Alice, I don't want to talk about this right now. I just want to watch TV." I cried.

"Sorry, sorry." She put her hands up in surrender and turned back to watch the TV. I don't even know what were watching but it wasn't really capturing my interest, but I made it seem so , just so I wouldn't have to deal with Alice's ridiculousness.

"You know Edward-"

"Alice" I groaned cutting her off.

Dear Bella,

You're watching TV.. How exciting. Shouldn't you be doing something reckless, and teenage like, something exciting and slightly stupid, something weird but somehow cool? Shouldn't you be doing things you know you shouldn't be doing, like- Wait.. We always seem to forget you're pregnant. The closest thing to dangerous, or anything we listed above, in your case would be a trampoline. We cant even insult you, that's how bad we feel for you.

Sucks,

NATIONAL TEENAGER WAKE UP CALL ASSOCIATION.


A/N: So this chapter was very important on Edward and Bella's relationship and the stress level that is building. I think this chapter is the beginning of Edward and Bella's problems together. Any thoughts on their attitudes/behavior? I know some of it, is kind of sudden but its the best way i could put the meaning together in this chapter ya know? Well i hope you like and tell me what you think :] Also GabzR threw out a suggestion i was thinking about going for but im still not sure if i should,(some of you are probably like 'wtf is she talking about?' but you'll see). Any who, i'm defiantly thinking about an EPOV somewhere in here. :]
